Twin prime conjecture Updated 2025-07-16
Let's show them how it's done with primes + awk. Edit. They have a -d option which also shows gaps!!! Too strong:
sudo apt install bsdgames
primes -d 1 100 | awk '/\(2\)/{print $1 - 2, $1 }'
gives us the list of all twin primes up to 100:
0 2
3 5
5 7
11 13
17 19
29 31
41 43
59 61
71 73
Tested on Ubuntu 22.10.

Atomicity (database systems) Updated 2025-07-16
This means that e.g. if you do an UPDATE query on multiple rows, and power goes out half way, either all update, or none update.
This is different from isolation, which considers instead what can or cannot happen when multiple queries are running in parallel.

There are unlisted articles, also show them or only show them.
