Not a bad idea for the long term. It should all be Open Source if it's running a public service. Right?

The other article was a very short quip about the wonder of Unix pipes. Stop the griping. This one is just as nice, and more in-depth. Great.

My favorite sentence from Brian Kernighan's latest book "UNIX A History and a Memoir": Pipes are the quintessential Unix invention, an elegant and efficient way to use temporary connections of programs .. so I'll read

This is way too much thinking for a Friday ... call me a Boltzmann brain all you want, but I'm having beer!

As admirable an accomplishment as this is, and as with many other projects where the arenan is highly saturated, I feel the README should start with a quick WHY? section. I'm truly not trying to dismiss the programmer's great deed

Yes, but this is only 8 out of 10 cats.

What form of "Capitalism"? The unfettered type that sits all the way to the right of the spectrum (that does't exist, because it would only last a few hours), or the overly regulated one all the way on the left of the spectru

Right. Something along those lines is what we should be striving for.

I'm not sure I fully know your stances on all of this, but Religion is not really a prerequisite for fully appreciating how beautiful yet precarious our biosphere truly is. Engineering solutions to combat or circumvent Climate Change i

I want to agree with you in some aspects of this, but the history of this topic has been so severely lopsided that the current cleansing was due and is helping. As a man, I can only imagine the shit women put up with on a daily basis.

Awesome comment! Especially as it relates to VMs in modern cloud environments. There really is no need for swap space, and letting them fail quickly is usually best. Using swap space may make sense for a traditional physical, stand-alone se

Raspberry Pi 4 most definitely do need fan. I'm not sure why this is not being made more clear. The default case for it also doesn't help dissipate the extra heat either :-( I've ordered mine fans from pimoroni.com. I hope it

Vividly remember why AltaVista failed -- they monetized way TOO QUICKLY. Everyone was griping about its sluggishness. Then a few months later a friend pointed me to this new google.com thingy, with its minimalist page, and no ads!

Folks here are acutely aware of needing to support their tech claims or arguments with evidence, but seems like when it comes to other domains of human understanding those requirements go out the window. The responses here seem to be makin

Such a nice title. Some rare YouTUBE video would have been perfect.

I'd like to read that book someday, but doesn't "stressor" seems too negative. Why not the more neutral "cause"?

My reading skills are going down. I was expecting a punchline delivery to the reason why pencils are mostly yellow: "Essentially, because of marketing". Just wasted 5 minutes of my life.

Respectfully, this is something I've never been able to understand about open source projects. Why stick with names that are difficult for most humans, and causes folks to forget your great company still exists? Why not run a small mar

Are you guilty of expecting a perfect popular science newspaper article that's merely pointing out what appears to be a recent general trend? :-)

Hmm, this almost sounds like a person reporting the following joke to the #MeToo movement: A woman walked into a bar and ordered a double entendre, so the bartender gave her one.

Satire = joke + partial truth. It can become misinformation when people lack the sensibility to see or hear the actual joke and/or miss the partial truth .. nothing here to read, move along, move along.

But isn't total wealth relative to the economy one lives in? I'm thinking of Steven Pinker and his latest book "Enlightenment Now", where he discusses some staggering stats about world poverty that are really worth consi

But isn't the implication that half of all adults in the world have MORE than $2300 actually more incredibly awesome?
