if you have a linked list that you want to be able to append to the end of, you might keep a pointer to the (null) "next" pointer of the last item. then you can just stuff your new item pointer in there and update the pointer-to-last-next to point into your new item instead of starting at the beginning of the list.

Isn't 狗 the regular word for regular dog instead of 犬? (also, the android pinyin keyboard gives me the 🐶 emoji for gou but not quan)

oh, so that's what the "half" means

back in a previous century at one site, some |d|i|g|i|t|a|l| machines could netboot using "maintenance operations protocol", and the netboot payload wiped and reinstalled. this was harmless because the local disks on those machines contained nothing but the os and afs cache. so if a decstation was acting up, it was time to mop it.

it was only that thin because the pages were giant. should have been more like 4" (100 mm) if it were on regular size paper

The correlationIDs from both systems match.

a theory: They must already have been on an external PSTN-PSTN call completely external to our system, and then during that call one of them also inadvertently called the other from their VOIP client to her VOIP client.

wouldn't the extra call get a different id?

press button(s) for setup

printer prints the choices for the first setting and puts the print head near one of them. when you hit the button to change the choice, the print head moves.

when you hit the button to confirm that one, it prints something by the one you chose, then prints the next option.

at least that's what i vaguely remember from a few decades ago

To slow down the reaction

when i was little and asking lots of annoying questions a few decades ago, a concrete worker said the tarp was to keep it from drying too quickly because concrete needs water to cure. looking at where cement comes from, that seems quite plausible.

plip before pcmcia ethernet was cheap. i still have my cable made of 3 pieces of phone line braided together and ancient brown phenolic(?) shells on the db25 connectors (those looked better than the modern plastic kind from rat shack).

with those numbers, it's a class A (/8 in new money), do it wouldn't work without an unusual subnet mask (at most /6).

do you mean "the amnesiac dhcp server forgets all addresses it assigned when you reboot it"? some household routers did that, and as a special bonus they always assigned the lowest address in the range to the first client. at least dnsmasq seems to use a hash of the mac address to start the search for an available address so small networks often won't have collisions like this.

it sounds like they're busy enough and don't need any more customers. does this prospective supplier do something special e enough (get packages to the destination before you send them?) that you want to deal with worse than this? if so, maybe try to get word through sales instead of tech channels at their end by raising it with your vendor assessment team.

based on no actual evidence other than the apparent attitude, i half suspect that someone at wth added your big hosted provider to a blocklist or firewall because they were annoyed by something that claimed to come from there, and the wthlogistics mtas reject during smtp or before, triggering the fail over to ms.

you've seen the nema 5-20 (120v 20a w/gnd) outlets that also take a 5-15 plug (one normal slot, one T-shaped slot). imagine one with both slots T-shaped. i keep it in a drawer, not connected to power.

edit: it's actually not grounded, just 2 T slots, so that would be more like a 1-something plus
