That was my experience as well, USA. Graduated within the last 5 years from a state school and didn't have interest on my federal loans until after I graduated. Might be worth calling the loan servicer and asking about it, that could be a mistake.

    There's a decent chance your public IP, even though not technically static, doesn't change all that often. Depends on your ISP, but I've only had my public IP change unexpectedly once over ~5 years of self-hosting and that was after a 24-hour power outage.

    I'd say it's more an unfortunate consequence of confusing industry terminology. Sub-nanometer refers to the process, not the finished size of the chip. Smaller processes can fit more transistors in the same space.

    Yes! With a few plugins, of course. YouCompleteMe and fzf.vim are my favorites by far. I spend a lot of time on embedded Linux devices at work, so it's pretty convenient to use the same editor on my laptop and on the target device.

    Gas prices in the US are in $/gal, so $6.19 per gallon. Some signs just don't include the decimal.

    I understand your confusion... I went to Canada for the first time recently and their prices are cents per liter, but (much like American prices) that's not actually indicated anywhere.

    # indicates a comment in shell scripts, it's interpreted the same way on a command line. That's why it's doing nothing. In this case, the # isn't part of the command though. It's to indicate that it's a root shell. You'd see $ for a regular not-root shell. It's part of that bit of text with your username, hostname, and current directory (with most default shell configurations, look up the PS1 Bash variable) that comes before the command you're typing.
