I absolutely need to download the PDF of http://www.famaf.unc.edu.ar/~dfernandez/practico3_2011.pdf . Unfortunately the whole website is down for at least 1 day and I suspect it will be down for the next days. I think google sometimes keeps a caché of internet pages, but I don't know how I can reach it for this page.
Is there a way I can visit the page like it was a few days ago?
Thanking you.

I accessed the page on Google's cache, but it wasn't updated with the third practice PDF. (I also couldn't open the earlier PDFs.)

I really don't know what solved the problem, but it's amazing.
 
Thread 'Urgent: Physically repair - or bypass - power button on Asus laptop'
Asus Vivobook S14 flip. The power button is wrecked. Unable to turn it on AT ALL. We can get into how and why it got wrecked later, but suffice to say a kitchen knife was involved: These buttons do want to NOT come off, not like other lappies, where they can snap in and out. And they sure don't go back on. So, in the absence of a longer-term solution that might involve a replacement, is there any way I can activate the power button, like with a paperclip or wire or something? It looks...
In my discussions elsewhere, I've noticed a lot of disagreement regarding AI. A question that comes up is, "Is AI hype?" Unfortunately, when this question is asked, the one asking, as far as I can tell, may mean one of three things which can lead to lots of confusion. I'll list them out now for clarity. 1. Can AI do everything a human can do and how close are we to that? 2. Are corporations and governments using the promise of AI to gain more power for themselves? 3. Are AI and transhumans...
