Brian Kernighan’s book UNIX: A History and a Memoir is a great read for anyone interested in the history of computing.
Sort of like US Democracy.
Any big dump of money (Manhattan Project, Space Race, Arms Race) brings about great strides in progress. It would have been great to see a big dump of money, on the aforementioned scale, dumped into raw research.
I barely have two nickels to rub together, but I would donate them if it would get these fuckheads to Mars.
I’d imagine it will come around, but not the way people think, and not for many more generations. I mean, unless we just kill this planet before we get there, which is where I’d put my money.
Not Vim? WTF?
I absolutely hate all this container shit, for my uses. That said, they make sense when you need to sandbox applications for whatever reason, but most of those uses seem like they would be better served with VMs.
Q. Did your family support your decision to stay in Ukraine?
A. No, and it’s been hard.
No shit. She sounds like an awful person.
It always makes me kind of sad when people disparage CLI use. It’s like people thinking they don’t need to actually learn anything because they can always look up what they need to know on their phone. It seems a shame to miss so much of the richness of the experience. I found myself arguing, promoting, whatever, terminal use a few times and then realized how pointless it is. It’s like arguing with someone about what food they like. You can just hope they develop a more sophisticated palate at some point, or at least become more open-minded, but you can’t force it on them.
This was a long way to get around to saying I like that you had that change of frame and are embracing the fun of personalizing your interactions with your computer.
should, but I’ve long given up any expectations of consistency or critical thinking from that bunch.
