Und wieder einmal AU-gsburg ... Nach einem 1:0-Heimsieg gegen die Namenscousine aus dem Pott ist die einzige und wahre BORUSSIA vor dem 33. Spieltag der Saison 2025/26 nach einer schwachen Saison gerettet. Nun geht es am 9.5.2026 nach Augsburg, einem Verein, der mittlerweile auf Augenhöhe mit dem VfL zu sein scheint und tabellarisch sogar knapp in Front ist. Und er ist seit etlichen Jahren Teil des -burg-Problems unseres Vereins, denn auch in AugsBURG ist seit langem nicht viel zu holen. Wer gehofft hat, dass die Elf vom Niederrhein mit Rückenwind an die Aufgabe herangeht, wird schnell eines besseren belehrt: Eine langsam spielende und harmlose Mannschaft ist letztlich chancenlos. Die "Torfabrik" urteilt: Am Ende war es ein verdienter, klarer Sieg der Augsburger, die die Schwächen der Gladbacher geschickt ausgenutzt haben. Ärgerlich zudem, dass die Borussen die Intensität im Pressing, die sie gegen Dortmund gezeigt hatten, zu keiner Sekunde abriefen. Und so taumelt die Borussia, begleitet von ironischen Europapokal-Gesängen u.ä., dem letzten Saisonspiel entgegen, einem Heimspiel gegen die für den Europapokal qualifizierten Hoffenheimer. Und klar ist auch: Die Sommerpause muss der gesamte Verein nutzen, um sich grundlegend neu aufzustellen!

3154 Ab ins kühle Wasser und dann weiterarbeiten Anstatt schon wieder zu jammern, geh doch ins kühle Nass. Genau das, was ich jetzt mache. Nicht mehr und nicht weniger. Es ist schön. Es ist warm. Es sind 30 Grad. Den ganzen Tag schön Vollgas geben und jetzt abends schön schwimmen gehen. Eine ganze Stunde. Das tut so gut. Danach bist du so erholt und so frisch. Dann etwas Kleines essen und noch mal ein bis zwei Stunden in Ruhe arbeiten. Da bekommst du ganz viel bewegt. Ich bin gerade dabei, wunderschöne, coole neue Projekte zu erarbeiten. Da braucht es zwischendurch immer wieder eine Auszeit. Wer einfach der Meinung ist, man muss immer durchrödeln, ohne Auszeit, der liegt falsch. Das ist nicht gut. Wir brauchen immer wieder Unterbrechungen des Tages. Relaxing und dann mit alter Frische wieder loslegen. Dann höre ich immer wieder: „Das ist nicht so einfach." Ja, dann müsstest du es halt ändern. Im Schlusseffekt geht es immer nur um eines: Schau einfach, wie es dir gut geht. Schau einfach, was du machen kannst, dass du im Flow bist. Dass du sagen kannst: Boah, was habe ich für ein cooles, tolles Leben. Es geht mir gut. So wie man sich bettet, liegt man. Jetzt kannst du sagen: Mein Gott, das hast du schon tausendmal gesagt. Ja, ich weiß, dass ich es schon tausendmal gesagt habe. Aber ich werde immer wieder dasselbe sagen: Du bist für dich verantwortlich. Nicht deine Eltern. Nicht deine Kinder. Nicht Vater Staat. Niemand. Außer du ganz alleine. Hier höre ich immer wieder: „Ja, wenn das so einfach wäre." Ja, es ist einfach. Es ist sehr, sehr, sehr einfach. Aber wir machen es uns immer viel zu schwer. Wir suchen lieber Schuldige. Wir spielen lieber das arme Opfer. „Ich kann ja nichts dafür. Böse Ehe, böser Elf, böse Frau, böser Chef, böse Politik." Auf einmal ist alles böse. Da frage ich dich doch einfach: Warum machst du denn mit? Wenn alles böse ist, warum machst du dann mit? „Was soll ich denn machen?" Ja, mach dir halt einfach mal Gedanken. 98 % der Menschen jammern lieber, anstatt eine Lösung zu suchen. Ich war früher auch ein Jammeronkel. Warum? Ja, ich bin in einer Jammerfamilie aufgewachsen. Wer in einer Jammerfamilie aufgewachsen ist, jammert heute noch bis zum Anschlag. Jammer, jammer, jammer. Alle sind schuld. Man selbst ist nie schuld. Man wird immer gemobbt. Man hat ein furchtbares, schreckliches Leben. Komisch. Beide sind im gleichen Elternhaus aufgewachsen. Beide hatten die gleiche Startmöglichkeit. Der eine ist im Jammern geblieben. Klar, wenn du das täglich vorgelegt bekommst: Jammern, Jammern, Jammern, dann kann man das natürlich machen. Im Moment ist es angenehmer, wenn man jammert. Aber im Nachhinein ist es viel härter. Es ist viel, viel schlimmer. Weil du irgendwann so tief in deiner Jammerwelt drin bist und dir dann noch die Selbsthilfegruppen suchst: die Gruppe der Jammerer. Dann wird wieder gejammert, gejammert, gejammert. Auf Teufel komm raus. Anstatt die Dinge einfach zu ändern. Anstatt neue Wege zu suchen. Und es gibt für alles neue Wege. Da gibt es einen Rattenversuch, der vor vielen, vielen Jahren gemacht worden ist. Es gab zehn Röhren. In Röhre 2 haben die Ratten eine Woche lang immer Futter bekommen. Am achten Tag sind sie wieder dahin. Das Futter war nicht da. Das Futter war in Röhre 10. Was machen die Ratten? Die sind schlau. Die haben dann einfach in jedem Rohr geschaut. Und siehe da: Rohr 10. Es hat funktioniert. Und was macht der Mensch? Der bleibt in Röhre 2, jammert, streikt, protestiert: „Hier war immer Futter. Uns steht dieses Futter zu." Anstatt einfach noch mal eine andere Röhre anzuschauen. Anstatt einfach noch mal eine andere Perspektive einzunehmen. Anstatt einfach noch mal zu schauen: Was gibt es denn da noch für Möglichkeiten? Also sag nie mehr: „Was soll ich denn machen?" Such die andere Röhre. Mach dich auf den Weg. Wenn du das alleine nicht kannst, gibt es hier wunderbares VIP-Coaching, wo wir gemeinsam für dich schauen: Wo gibt es für dich neue Wege? Wo gibt es für dich neue Röhren, in denen du mehr als genug Futter bekommst? Mehr als in dem Rohr, in dem du jetzt bist. In diesem Sinne: Hab eine coole Zeit. Ich freue mich jetzt riesig aufs Baden. Eine Stunde schön schwimmen. Enjoy your life. Tschüss, bye-bye, dein Ernst. #Auszeit #Erholung #Schwimmen #Sommer #Flow #Verantwortung #Mindset #JammernAufhören #NeueWege #Perspektivwechsel #Selbstverantwortung #VIPCoaching #Erfolg #Lebensfreude #Podcast #Ergebnisorientiert #ErnstCrameri Hier findest du eine Übersicht aller aktuellen Seminare  https://crameri.de/Seminare Bild: 8.

What is one of the key elements relatively underexplored in European competitiveness? The quality of management. In this episode of the Liberal Europe Podcast, Ricardo Silvestre (Movimento Liberal Social), welcomes Radu Mihail, independent consultant and former Senator in Romania, who co-authored, with former MEP Vlad Botos and Vice-President of the NGO The Liberal Community Maria Ionescu, the ELF policy paper 41 "The Art of Execution – Management as a Hidden Driver of Europe's Competitiveness". This podcast is produced by the European Liberal Forum in collaboration with Movimento Liberal Social and Fundacja Liberté!, with the financial support of the European Parliament.

What if the same type of electromagnetic fields we usually discuss as health risks could actually be used to fight cancer? A new study reveals how precisely controlled EMF exposures killed prostate cancer cells in the lab. I'm R Blank, and in this episode of the Healthier Tech Podcast, I break down groundbreaking research showing how extremely low frequency pulsed electromagnetic fields activated tumor suppressor genes and triggered cancer cell death. This represents a fascinating inversion of the typical EMF narrative -- and it's crucial to understand why therapeutic EMF applications are completely different from the environmental exposures we encounter daily. In This Episode How controlled pulsed electromagnetic fields killed prostate cancer cells in laboratory conditions The specific genetic changes that make this therapy work -- including activation of PTEN and BAX genes Why therapeutic EMF is fundamentally different from environmental EMF exposure What this research means for the future of cancer treatment Featured Study Read the full study: Investigating the expression changes of several key genes in prostate cancer cells under exposure to the ELF pulsed electromagnetic fields See all studies at shieldyourbody.com/research

Oscar-winning actress Mary Steenburgen joins Obsessed to talk about her charming new Apple TV+ comedy The Dink, how she almost got fired for laughing too much at Will Ferrell in Elf, the improv magic behind Step Brothers and Curb Your Enthusiasm, and how Larry David caused even close friends to believe she and Ted Danson had split. Steenburgen also opens up about falling in love with Danson, working together decades later on A Man on the Inside, her thoughts on his conversation with W. Kamau Bell about the 1993 Friars Club controversy, and the career lessons she's learned from a lifetime in Hollywood.

What do you do when someone confidently says something that's completely wrong?Do you correct them... or just smile and walk away?That's where this episode of The Treehouse Show begins after Dan hears someone butcher a simple Supergirl fact and has to decide whether it's worth starting an argument.That leads us into one of the funniest education stories we've heard in a while: a Brown University professor discovered just how dependent students have become on AI and online resources by springing an old-fashioned, in-person final exam on them—with hilarious results.As always, celebrity birthdays send us down another unexpected rabbit hole. Dan explains why Corey Haim was always better than Corey Feldman, while Trey hands out some very unpopular opinions on Will Ferrell movies... including why he thinks Elf is wildly overrated.Then we wrap things up with two stories that prove reality is always stranger than fiction: a woman who allegedly went on a biting spree inside a bar, and a flight instructor who bailed out of an airplane—leaving everyone wondering whether it was an accident or the world's worst teaching method.If you enjoy funny news, bizarre true stories, pop culture debates, celebrity birthdays, and comedians going completely off the rails, you'll feel right at home with The Treehouse Show.In this episode:Should you correct people who are confidently wrong?Dan's Supergirl debateBrown University catches students cheatingAI vs. traditional examsCorey Haim vs. Corey FeldmanTrey ranks Will Ferrell movies (and trashes Elf)Woman arrested after bizarre biting spreeThe worst flight instructor ever?And plenty of hilarious detours along the way.

De monitoringdienst van de FIFA telde tijdens de groepsfase 89.000 haatdragende posts richting spelers en staf, dertien keer meer dan in Qatar 2022. Elf procent was expliciet racistisch, een groter aandeel dan vier jaar geleden. Van de spreekkoren tot aan apen emoji's onder de posts van de Nederlandse spelers die een penalty misten. Racisme in voetbal is een aanhoudend probleem en lijkt dit WK zichtbaarder dan ooit. Hoe kan het dat racisme zo prominent aanwezig is in deze sport en wat moet er gebeuren om verandering teweeg te brengen? Te gast: Jacco van Sterkenburg, hoogleraar racisme, inclusie en communicatie aan de Erasmus Universiteit

Send us Fan Mail"Multiple breezes form a strong wind." – Vietnamese ProverbSylvaris the Elf loves her garden, but one morning she notices a very unusual purple weed with pulsing veins. Deciding it looks harmless, she leaves it for later. Big mistake! By the next day, the weed has grown to the size of a cat and is creeping her out by watching her every move. By day three, it has grown into a colossal Titan-Tangler the size of a house, looming right over Snaggleton!When Sylvaris tries to pull it up, the ground explodes with hundreds of slimy, root-like tentacles. A vine snatches her up, and soon, the town's strongest heroes suffer the exact same fate trying to rescue her.With all the big heroes trapped, Sir Chucklenugget blows his brass hunting horn to summon the backup. Out march Nolan the Gnome Knight and the tiny Mini Might Battalion! Knowing their small swords are like toothpicks against the massive trunk, Nolan looks down and spots a clever strategy: the thousands of tiny, tight root hairs holding the monster to the earth.In this kids story podcast episode, the tiny army acts like a swarm of colorful ants, focusing entirely on the small battles. Snip by snip, they hack at the spindly roots until the giant plant loses its balance, drops its prisoners, and falls with an earth-shaking crash! It's a magnificent lesson proving that when we join our small efforts together, we can overcome even the biggest challengesSupport the show

"I love talking with people. I also like that process of trying to shape messy reality into some kind of story, or that moment when you're alone with your notes, and you're trying to figure out how to organize it, and how to bend it into something that works as a story that will carry readers. That's the probably that's the kind of calmest moment for me," says Matthew Wolfe, author of Fires in the Night: The Earth Liberation Front, the FBI, and Secret History of Eco-Sabotage.Hey, CNFers, another LIVE podcast recording, this at Hodgepodge Books & Taps in Eugene, where I spoke to author and journalist Matthew Wolfe and about the art and craft of telling true stories. Pretty great. I love bringing my rig to places and gigging the podcast. This was a standing-room only event and they sold out of books, and two kegs were kicked. Is it the CNF Pod effect? You tell me.Matthew was on the show last year when he had an Atavist story so I HAD to talk to him, haha, but he reached out to me several weeks ago wondering if I'd be willing to interview him as part of a book event and I was like, I know a venue and we'll make it a podcast. HIs book is Fires in the Night: The Earth Liberation Front, the FBI, and a Secret History of Eco-Sabotage. It's published by Viking.I cut out the Q&A portion of this because you couldn't hear the question and I wasn't assertive enough to repeat the question into the mic. I'll be better about that in the future, but also, that's the ephemeral part of the live experience: part of why we attend live events is because it's here and then it isn't.So in this live podcast, Matt and I talk about: The ledger of invisible debts Asking questions in a stakeless way How Matt interviews Shaping messy realities How research is like cooking Broad stroke outlining Writing through quotes Why he's still drawn to this kind of work Competing with the phone And the blood, flesh, and messiness of human existenceDo enjoy.

This show has been flagged as Clean by the host. 01 Introduction In this episode I will describe how to calculate elapsed time in bash or other shell scripts. While this may sound like a very simple and basic thing to do, there is a slightly more complex aspect to it if you wish to calculate elapsed time to a higher resolution than one second. 02 There are many reasons for calculating elapsed time in a shell script. For example you may wish to simply report how long an operation took to run. Another reason may be that you are trying to speed up a script and need to calculate benchmark data to see how different alternative methods perform. 03 What may seem like a simple task gets a bit more complicated if you want to do it for multiple different operating systems even if they are all unix related, as we shall see. -------------------- 04 Operating Systems Tested For the purposes of this episode, I ran tests on the current version of the following operating systems. Alma Alpine Debian FreeBSD OpenBSD RaspberryPi OpenSuse Ubuntu 2604 Alma is a close copy of Red Hat that we can take as representing Red Hat style distros. -------------------- 05 Simple Low Resolution Timing I will start with the simple and obvious method before describing the less obvious ones. This uses the date command to get the current time in seconds since the unix epoch. This is simply date '+%s' 06 Save this to a variable using whatever method you prefer. For example. starttime=$(date '+%s') 07 Next, do whatever operations it is you wish to time. Use the date command to get the current time again. endtime=$(date '+%s') 08 Now simply subtract the start time from the end time using shell arithmetic. This should be very obvious and basic. -------------------- 09 Higher Resolution Timing However, suppose we wish to measure time to greater than one second of precision. We need to do two things. The first is to obtain the current time at a higher degree of precision. The second is to conduct the calculations to a higher degree of precision. 10 Unfortunately, the standard time precision for POSIX shells seems to be 1 second. Some shells offer a higher precision, but others do not. Furthermore, standard shell arithmatic uses integer, which limits calculations to 1 second of precision. -------------------- 11 Bash High Resolution Shell Variable Fortunately, bash is one that does offer a high precision date. If you are using bash 5.0 or newer, there is a shell variable called EPOCHREALTIME which offers time since the the unix epoch (that is, since the first of January 1970, at 00:00:00 UTC) in seconds to 6 decimals of precision. 12 Example echo $EPOCHREALTIME 1779634800.184926 13 This is related to the similar bash variable known as EPOCHSECONDS which gives the number of seconds since the unix epoch. 14 Example echo $EPOCHSECONDS 1779634800 15 So if you are using bash, measuring time is very simple. -------------------- 16 But is it Really Bash? Is your script however actually using bash? Debian and derivatives actually have two shells. The first, the interactive shell is bash. The second, the non-interactive shell is dash, which stands for "debian almquist shell". 17 If you open a terminal, you get bash. If your script starts with a "bin/bash" shebang line, you get bash. However, if your script starts with a "bin/sh" shebang line, you get dash. Some people find themselves getting caught out by this one when they try something out in a terminal but find that it doesn't work in their script which started with "bin/sh". 18 Many other, but not all, Linux distros use bash for both the interactive and non-interactive shells, so "bin/sh" and "bin/bash" work the same with those ones. So if you intend to use bash, make sure your script calls for bash in the first line. -------------------- 19 The SHELL Variable So how can a script tell what shell it is running under? There is a shell variable called "SHELL" which will tell you the name of the shell. Well, sort of. 20 On Debian and derivatives "SHELL" will say "bash" regardless of whether the actual shell is bash or dash. On some other operating systems "SHELL" will simply say "sh" even if it is something else entirely. So we need to do some additional levels of checking to see what we have. 21 To start with though, here's what each of the test distros reports for SHELL. Alma : bash Alpine : sh Debian : bash FreeBSD : sh OpenBSD : ksh Raspberry-Pi : bash Suse : bash ubuntu2604 : bash -------------------- 22 Bash Versus Dash First, let's try to see which ones are bash and which ones are dash. The first thing we can check is for the shell variable BASH_VERSION. 23 Example echo $BASH_VERSION If the shell is bash, then it will report a version string. If the shell is not bash, then it will return an empty value. 24 Using this test, we can see that Alma and Opensuse are indeed using bash. We however need to check Debian, Raspberry Pi, and Ubuntu when running in an "sh" script. To check this we can use the "which" command to see what "sh" actually is. 25 Example echo $( ls -l $(which sh ) | rev | cut -d" " -f1 | cut -d/ -f1 | rev ) 26 "which sh" shows us the path to "sh" However, that is a link so we need to use "ls -l" to find the actual executable. "rev" reverses the string. 27 "cut" takes the first element separated by spaces. The second "cut" takes the first element separated by the "/" characters. The final "rev" takes that string and reverses it again to get it in the correct order. 28 In the case of Debian, Raspberry Pi, and Ubuntu it tells us that this is "dash". -------------------- 29 Openbsd Openbsd reports its shell as "ksh", which stands for Korn Shell. It is indeed Korn Shell, so we simply leave that one as is. -------------------- 30 Alpine and Freebsd Next we have Alpine Linux and Freebsd, which both report as "sh". In the case Freebsd there doesn't appear to be any further we can go that I am aware of. It's simple "sh". It is a basic POSIX shell which seems to be similar to the original unix shell, the Bourne Shell. Older versions of Freebsd used a different shell known as tsch (the C shell), but I haven't tested that so I will ignore that here. 31 With Alpine Linux however, we can get the actual shell using the same method that we used for Debian Linux. This reports as being "busybox". 32 Busybox is a limited shell intended for use in embedded systems. Alpine was originally an embedded distro, but some people started using it for containers. Alpine is Linux, but it is not GNU/Linux, and there are a number of areas which can trip you up if you are not aware of them. So, be extra careful if you are using it for anything, and test everything. -------------------- 33 Summary of Actual Shells Here is our revised list with the actual shell used when asking for "sh", so far as we can determine. Alma : bash Alpine : busybox Debian : dash FreeBSD : sh OpenBSD : ksh Raspberry-Pi : dash Suse : bash ubuntu2604 : dash 34 There are other shells, but none of them are the default shell for any of the distros on our list, so I haven't tested them. -------------------- 35 Solutions for Measuring Time Now we need to find solutions for bash, dash, ksh, sh, and busybox. -------------------- 36 Bash For bash, we can simply use EPOCHREALTIME, as mentioned above. -------------------- 37 Dash For dash, we can use the date command. This is a very conventional method, and is probably the first answer that anyone would give for this situation. However, while it will work in most cases, it will not work in all cases, so it is not a universal solution. 38 To use date we simply call it with the correct format string. This uses %s to get seconds since the epoch, and %N to get nanoseconds of the current second. If you put a decimal separator between the two it will appear in the output. You can use the correct decimal separator for your locale, but I won't go into that here. Instead I will just assume a period or dot. 39 Example date '+%s.%N' 1779634800.358916385 -------------------- 40 Problems with Date on Alpine and Openbsd Date will work for bash, dash, and sh on Freebsd. However it will not work for ksh on Openbsd, or for busybox on Alpine. 41 With busybox on Alpine, it simply ignores the %N format specifier and prints out the epoch in seconds only followed by the decimal separator. = Example date '+%s.%N' 1779634800. 42 With ksh on Openbsd it prints the epoch in seconds followed by the decimal separator and then the %N as a literal N. date '+%s.%N' 1779634800.N 43 Fortunately we have alternatives for these two cases. -------------------- 44 Openbsd Openbsd has the "ts" or timestamp utility installed by default. ts prints a time stamp in front of every line it receives from standard input. I won't go into details on all aspects of ts here, I'll leave that to someone else. Instead I will focus on how to use it for our specific purposes here. 45 We need to provide a format specifier to ts, which in this case is "%.s" We also need to provide something for standard input, or otherwise ts will simply sit there and wait for input. So what we need to do is to echo nothing through a pipe to ts while also giving ts the proper format specifier. 46 Example echo | ts "%.s" 47 This will output the epoch time in seconds to six decimals of precision. ts is installed in Openbsd and Freebsd by default and can be used in either. It can also be installed in many other distros. -------------------- 48 Busybox on Alpine None of the methods discussed so far will work for busybox on Alpine though. However there is a way, but it's a bit non obvious and somewhat hacky. 49 Busybox includes a command called "adjtimex". This is normally used to adjust the time hardware. However if it is run without arguments, it will report the current settings. 50 These include the current epoch time in seconds , and in another field the time in microseconds. These are reported as key value pairs. So what we need to do is to do the following 51 Run adjtimex Capture the output. Grep for "time.tv_sec" Grep for "time.tv_usec" Use cut to extract the time value in each case. Use tr to get rid of excess spaces in each case. Combine the two in a string with a decimal separator between them. 52 This takes a total of 4 lines of shell script. I will just describe them breifly here, see the show notes for details. 53 First we want to capture the output of adjtimex in a single operation. Run adjtimex and pipe the output through grep to capture lines containing "time.tv_" and save this to a variable. # Extract the current high resolution time from adjtimex. # We want two key value pairs, identified by time.tv_sec and time.tv_usec. tvals=$( adjtimex | grep "time.tv_" ) 54 Next echo the contents of this variable and pipe it through grep, cut, and tr to get first the seconds and then the microseconds while also removing excess spaces. Save these to two separate variables. "time.tv_sec" is the time in seconds since the epoch. "time.tv_usec" is the number of microseconds in the current second. # Get the time since the unix epoch in seconds and micro-seconds. timesec=$( echo "$tvals" | grep "time.tv_sec" | cut -d: -f2 | tr -d " " ) timeusec=$( echo "$tvals" | grep "time.tv_usec" | cut -d: -f2 | tr -d " " ) 55 Adjtimex does not zero pad the microsecond time value to provide leading zeros, so we need to take care of this using printf before we can append it to the seconds value. We didn't need to do this with date where the %N format character does this automatically. In this instance, the printf format string is '%06d' padusec=$( printf '%06d' $timeusec ) Now, combine these into a single number with a decimal separator by using simple string concatenation. # Combine them into a single number. timehires="$timesec"".""$padusec" -------------------- 56 Summary of Methods Let's summarize where we are so far in terms of methods we can use to get the current time as a high resolution number. Alma : use EPOCHREALTIME or date Debian (bash) : use EPOCHREALTIME or date Raspberry-Pi (bash) : use EPOCHREALTIME or date ubuntu2604 (bash) : use EPOCHREALTIME or date Suse : use EPOCHREALTIME or date Debian (dash) : use date Raspberry-Pi (dash) : use date ubuntu2604 (dash) : use date Alpine : use adjtimex and parse the output FreeBSD : use date or ts OpenBSD : use ts -------------------- 57 Other alternatives There are a few alternatives that we haven't discussed yet. 58 Bash with Dash In the case of Debian, Raspberry Pi, and Ubuntu running dash, since bash is available it is possible to write a separate bash script which simply echos EPOCHREALTIME and then call it from the dash script and capture the output. While this would work, there's probably not a lot of point to it. If you can rely on bash being there, then just change the first line of the script and make it a bash script. 59 Adding Packages to Alpine The ts or timestamp utility is a common unix utility that can be installed if it is not present by default. This does produce high resolution timestamps on Alpine. On Alpine Linux this comes as part of the "moreutils" package. To add the package, use the following sudo apk add moreutils echo | ts "%.s" 1779634800.959948 60 You can also add the GNU coreutils, which will provide a high resolution date command which works like in the other examples. To add the package use the following sudo apk add coreutils date '+%s.%N' 1779634800.212897332 61 If you can install more packages into your Alpine system, either of the above two is probably going to be preferable to parsing the output of adjtimex. 62 Custom Timestamp Programs You can also write a very short program in python, perl, tcl, or some other language and have it output the current epoch time. I won't discuss that here though. -------------------- 63 Calculating Time Differences Shell arithmetic is integer only. If we wish to use high resolution timing data, we need to do something so we don't lose the precision we have worked so hard to get. There are several possible solutions. 64 Change the Time Base One method is to change the time base from seconds to milli, micro, or nanoseconds. This can be done by simply multiplying the time values by the appropriate amount (e.g. 1000, 1,000,000, etc.) before subtracting them. This allows for integer arithmetic on high resolution values without losing precision. 65 Use the Shell bc Arbitrary Precision Calculator The bc command line calculator will perform calculations using real numbers and is easy to use in scripts. It is present by default in most distros. echo "scale=9; $endtime - $starttime" | bc where endtime and starttime are variables containing time values. 66 However, for some inexplicable reason, neither Debian nor Opensuse install it by default. It is present in Ubuntu and Raspberry Pi which are Debian derivatives, and it can be added to distros which lack it. 67 Use awk awk can also perform calculations using real numbers and it is present in nearly all distros including in all of the ones we tested here. echo "$endtime $starttime" | awk '{printf "%.6fn", $1 - $2}' -------------------- 68 Benchmarks And of course no comparative evaluation would be complete without benchmarks where we see how each method compares to another in terms of speed. In the benchmark test I ran each method in a loop through multiple iterations, measured the elapsed time, subtracted out the time for an empty loop, and then compared it to alternate methods. For anything other than EPOCHREALTIME, the empty loop time is negligible and has no real effect on the results. 69 Rather interestingly I came across a bug which caused date to run very slowly if called immediately after using EPOCHREALTIME in bash. The effect of the bug was to make the date benchmark test roughly 24 times slower. This has been fixed in newer releases, but if you are using an older distro release then beware of this bug. I was able to get around it either putting a sleep delay between benchmarking EPOCHREALTIME and benchmarking date, or by simply testing date before testing EPOCHREALTIME. 70 To be able to conduct additional tests I installed ts in Ubuntu and Alpine, and the GNU version of date in Alpine. 71 EPOCHREALTIME Versus date in Ubuntu 2604 bash The EPOCHREALTIME method is 3103 times faster than date. However, when the same test is run on Ubuntu 2404 when the date test is run before the EPOCHREALTIME test, EPOCHREALTIME is 1240 faster than date. Other Linux distros show performance to Ubuntu 2404. It appears that a side effect of fixing whatever the bug is has the effect of slowing down date. However, this is probably not a significant issue in normal circumstances. 72 date versus ts in Ubuntu 2604 bash The date method is 3.7 times faster than ts 73 date versus ts in Ubuntu 2604 dash The date method is 4.9 times faster than ts 74 date versus ts in Freebsd sh The date method is 2.5 times faster than ts 75 date versus adjtimex in Alpine Busybox The date method is 6.0 times faster than adjtimex 76 date versus ts in Alpine Busybox The date method is 20.0 times faster than ts 77 bc versus awk in Ubuntu 2604 I compared calculating the difference between two numbers when using bc versus awk. The difference is negligible, with bc being only 7% faster than awk. 78 Conclusion for Benchmarks Based on these results, if you need to measure elapsed time to high resolution and care about runing the command with as little overhead as possible, then the order of preference should be the following. 79 If you are using a newer version of bash, then use EPOCHREALTIME. If that is not available, then use date, provided it allows for high resolution times. If the above two cannot be used, then use ts. If you are using Busybox and cannot install either GNU date or ts, then use adjtimex. Date is the closest in terms of being the universal portable solution, but it does not work in all cases. 80 I have not compared different platforms to each other in terms of performance, as that would be a much more involved problem that is outside the scope of this episode. However, different operating systems implement different commands in different ways. 81 For example, on Openbsd and Freebsd, ts appears to be an ELF binary. That is, it is executable machine code, possibly written in C. On Ubuntu however, ts appears to be a perl script. As a result of this, the advantage that date has over ts is much less in Freebsd than it is with Ubuntu (and likely other Linux distros) as on Freebsd it doesn't need to load a perl interpreter to run ts. -------------------- 82 Overall Conclusion You no doubt thought that measuring elapsed time was going to be so simple, and how could someone get an entire podcast out of such a simple subject? And yet here we are half an hour later with just a basic overview of the subject. 83 I hope you found this interesting and informative. Please let us know in the comments if you think that I have done anything incorrectly, or if you have another way of doing things. I hope to see you all again in another future episode of HPR. -------------------- Provide feedback on this episode.

In May of 2001, a building on the University of Washington’s Seattle campus went up in flames, in the middle of the night. It was the work of arsonists. An eco-sabotage group known as the Earth Liberation Front took credit for the attack. For group members, voting and publicly demonstrating wasn't enough to allay their fears of climate catastrophe. The group had three core principles: public education, economic sabotage and to harm property, not people. But members torched the UW building over unfounded claims that professor was making genetically modified trees. The group committed a string of arsons, from Colorado to Seattle. For several years, the FBI designated the ELF as the most dangerous domestic terror organization in the country. The group caused tens of millions of dollars in property destruction in the late 90s and early 2000s, according to the federal government.Soundside host Libby Denkmann talks with the author of a new book about the development of the ELF.

Send us Fan MailHere they are, the books I don't want you to miss for June 2026!First, we have The Summer of Death by Geoff Williams. Did you know that in 1936 there was a deadly heatwave that killed thousands of Americans? Of course, you didn't and neither did I! Thankfully, we have Geoff Williams to not only tell this story, but to know when to crack a joke and when to take things seriously.Next is the Wreck of the Mentor by Eric Jay Dolin. Dolin is one of my favorite writers and he has done it again. In 1832, the whaleship Mentor wrecked on a remote reef in the Western Pacific and then it somehow got worse for those who survived. It's simple folks, if you are into maritime survival stories like the Wager or Dolin's previous book Left for Dead, you have to pick this one up.Next we have the Longest Hardest Race by Eric Moskowitz. Today, we have NASCAR, but back in 1909 long distance races were all the rage. They were also absolutely insane as Moskowitz describes in this one. And of course, if we are talking early automobiles, Henry Ford is going to be a big part. And as always, he won't be keeping his hands clean, literally or figuratively.Next is Fires in the Night by Matthew Wolfe. In the 1990s, there was a group known as the Earth Liberation Front of ELF. They liked setting things on fire, especially in the Pacific Northwest where Wolfe tells the story about how it all happened and what was the fallout. Wolfe nails this book because he never takes sides, but he's not above pointing out where both sides can fail in a cultural divide. For our final new book, we have the American School of Spies by Stephan Talty. Talty is another one of my favorites and you should read anything with his name on it. In this one, he looks at the Americans flung into Greece during World War II to wreak some havoc while also protecting some priceless art. This one has got everything!For my classic pick of the month, I am going with Island of the Lost by Joan Druett. If you aren't familiar with Druett, she is a New Zealand writer who might as well be crowned the queen of maritime history, especially around Australia and New Zealand. Island of the Lost rekindled my love of reading back in the day. It's part survival, part leadership parable. In 1864, the schooner Grafton wrecks on Auckland Island. The survivors have no hope of rescue. It comes down to whether or not the captain can keep the men together, survive, and find a way home. Sounds crazy enough, but guess what? At the same exact time the Grafton survivors are battling for their lives, a ship called Invercauld wrecks on the same island. The survivors never mingle, but the actions of each captain would be the difference between life and death. One for good, one for bad.That's it for this month! Let me know what you think of these books and if you read them yourself. Until next time nerds, stay cool.Support the show

Happy Thursday, Christmas Fanatics! And Happy Leon Day! Can you believe that, as of today, we are *officially* Halfway to Christmas 2026? We sure can't! It's all downhill from here!  To celebrate the occasion, please enjoy this special bonus episode in which Julia and Anthony once again gather to discuss their favorite "Saturday Night Live" Christmas skits that didn't make their list the last time they talked to the iconic sketch show! They each picked five, which means this episode is full of tons of laughs! Additionally, the two discuss their Top Ten Christmas films that have released since the film "Elf", and surprisingly, only three films out of twenty are common to both lists! Also discussed: the news that Jim Carrey is in talks to reprise his iconic role of the Grinch in a live-action sequel to the beloved 2000 movie, "How the Grinch Stole Christmas"!  Trust us when we say, this is one fun, festive episode that serves as the perfect way to mark the fact we are only six months away from Christmas Day! So settle back, relax, and enjoy! And, as always, thanks for your love and support, y'all!

Im dritten und zugegebenermaßen für DEUTSCHLAND bedeutungslosen Gruppenspiel setzt es die erste Niederlage gegen ECUADOR. Erschreckend ist dabei vor allem die Art und Weise: Über 90 Minuten hinweg konnte die DFB-ELF offensiv wenig bis gar keine Akzente setzen - und das obwohl Julian Nagelsmann seine A-Elf auf den Platz schickte. Wie ordnen Etienne Gardé, Nils Bomhoff und Tobias Escher den Auftritt des DFB-TEAMs ein? Unbedeutender Ausrutscher oder Showcase von mangelnder Qualität?

Der erste Durchgang der Fußball-Weltmeisterschaft ist absolviert, einige Länder durften bereits ein zweites Mal ran und haben sich inzwischen für das Sechzehntelfinale qualifiziert oder die Chance auf den Aufstieg verspielt. Für die Elf rund um Teamchef Ralf Rangnick wird es am Montag um 19 Uhr so richtig ernst. Dann wartet kein anderer als Superstar Lionel Messi und seine Argentinier auf das Team aus Österreich. In diesem WM-Update blicken wir auf das entscheidende Spiel am morgigen Montag. Kann die ÖFB-Elf den Weltmeister ärgern oder gar schlagen? Welche Taktik wird gegen diesen schwersten aller Gegner ausgepackt und was würde eine Niederlage bedeuten? Außerdem blicken wir auf die Höhepunkte der bereits absolvierten Spiele. Während der Fußball-Weltmeisterschaft 2026 veröffentlichen wir immer einen Tag vor den Einsätzen der ÖFB-Elf eine zusätzliche Folge rund um die WM. Normale Folgen erscheinen wie gewöhnlich von Montag bis Freitag. Teilt uns gerne mit, was ihr davon hält.

You know the Tootsie Shot. It's that image that pops up all the time in movies set in a dense city: a really busy midtown street, everyone going somewhere—and smack in the middle of it all is the protagonist. You can find it in Working Girl, Midnight Cowboy, Wall Street, Heartburn, Elf, Bridget Jones's Diary, The Devil Wears Prada, The Wolf of Wall Street, and so many more. But while it's one of the most recognizable camera shots in all of film, it only amounts to a short, transitional moment, often in the middle of a montage, and sometimes lasting for a couple seconds. It is, after all, just someone walking down a crowded street. So why is it so sticky?Some of the voices you'll hear in this episode include James Sanders, author of Celluloid Skyline: New York and the Movies; cinematographer Adam Holender; producer Anna Wenger; assistant director Joe Reidy, author Christopher Bonanos, media and entertainment lawyer Sam Bayard, and location manager Mara Alcaly. Also thanks to Jason Bailey, Sam Levy, Glenn Kenny, Carlo Mirabella-Davis, J.D.
