> network effects C, like unix, is a small payload spreading like a virus, depending on the coder to keep it alive. The simplicity and the emergent behavior are as much an evolutionary advantage as a burden because of the UB. At 600 pages, the standard is not really simple anymore, as the RNA accrues more inputs from different vectors. I started to read the The UNIX-Haters Handbook [1] after I installed a Windows VM and saw the link here the other day. 1: http://web.mit.edu/~simsong/www/ugh.pdf http://web.mit.edu/~simsong/www/ugh.pdf
