Russia invaded and occupied the Sakhalin islands near the end of World War II. Native Japanese were allowed to leave, as I understand it.

"Japan invaded the northern parts of Sakhalin, and ruled the entire island from 1918 to 1925. Russia has held all of the island since seizing the Japanese portion in the final days of World War II in 1945, as well as all of the Kurils."

Powdered sugar is the standard treatment for removing varroa mites that have emerged from capped cells.

"The peptides killed only the mites, while the bees survived."

What benefits do these new treatments offer? They certainly won't be cheaper.

https://www.honeybeesuite.com/can-powdered-sugar-control-var...

Edit: "Treatments every week killed more mites than treatments every two weeks, which killed more mites than treatments every month... The only treatment schedule that effectively suppressed mites over long periods was once per week... sugar dusting has been found to significantly reduce adult mite populations at times when little brood is present."

It would be more practical if major cities had "fireworks zones" with ambulances on call and perhaps some safety advice.

I remember someone from the Manhattan Project that suffered the same fate. Is that "commercial nuclear history?"

This article on Douglas Crofut [died 1981] implies that there were several.

"His death was the first of its kind in the United States since the 1940s, when radiation deaths occurred during the Manhattan Project at Los Alamos, New Mexico."

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Douglas_Crofut

It turns out that there were two Manhattan Project fatalities, one in 1945, and one in 1946.

This has some information on the 2020 failure, but it is not what I remember reading.

There were core performance problems in the 2020 effort.

The big problem with ksh93 is that it is not maintained.

After David Korn retired, an attempt was made to bring out a new version which failed dramatically, and AT&T reverted to Korn's final release.

SmartOS uses ksh93 as root's shell.

The POSIX commentary mentions the Korn shell ten times, including particular behavior of the 1988 ksh release. Bash is not mentioned.

It is easier to understand the POSIX standard with a ksh focus, particularly ksh88.

A real problem with bash in particular is that it had many incompatible features which were masked with bash's POSIX mode.

This mode is not set when called as #!/bin/bash but is enabled for #!/bin/sh

The full list of legacy behaviors that are altered in POSIX mode are in a URL at the bottom of the bash manual page:

https://tiswww.case.edu/php/chet/bash/POSIX

Ksh doesn't do this.

The author has neglected the pdksh family of shells which includes all of Android, so this is a sizable oversight.

This would include the MirBSD mksh, and oksh from OpenBSD.

They are much smaller than ksh93 and bash, and I would suggest that their syntax extensions be given preference, as they originally represented ksh88 (from which the POSIX shell standard was derived).

Microsoft FINDSTR.EXE supports a subset of these regular expressions.

I am very lucky to be retiring in two months.

I should have more faithfully heeded the advice from "The Little Book of Common Sense Investing" by John Bogle, but I was close enough with index funds to do far more than I need.

I just today filed a request for permanent Mexican residency, uploaded the required documents, and scheduled my appointment next month. For $56us, why not?

I am very lucky to make this transition now. I know that.

I'm not as familiar with that. I do agree that it sounded substantial.

I just think that a coreutils flaw is not as substantial as a rendering engine exploit.

'Mythos “broke into almost all of our classified systems, not in weeks, but in hours.”'

Is Mythos a significant danger?

The curl experience does not suggest that hysteria is warranted, but this gives me pause.

If you don't have an agent running with an accessible key, then you will get three password prompts, with suggestions for any default keys.

The final target is a pre-elliptic curve OpenSSH server, so legacy is enabled. I could probably have removed that for clarity.

  C:\Users\me\>ssh -J me@bhost1,me@bhost2 -o KexAlgorithms=diffie-hellman-group14-sha1 -o HostKeyAlgorithms=ssh-rsa -o MACs=hmac-sha1 oracle@target
  Enter passphrase for key 'C:\Users\me/.ssh/id_ed25519':
  me@host1's password:
  Enter passphrase for key 'C:\Users\me/.ssh/id_ed25519':
  me@host2's password:
  oracle@target's password:
  Last login: Wed Jun 24 13:29:55 2026 from bhost2
That client is Microsoft's port of OpenSSH.

The article mentions bastions, but no jumphosting?

  ssh -J user1@bastion1,user2@bastion2 targetuser@targethost
Edit: Jumphosting was introduced in OpenSSH 7.3 2016-08-01.
