"/usr stands for UNIX System Resources"
And less technical:
"The rainbow has 7 colors"
"Sun is the day, moon is the night"
So many things, i wish i had a name for these kind of traditional beliefs.

- dr_dshiv 1y agoLove this Sussman quote: “ In fact, this is an engineering model, in the same way that, [for an] electrical resistor, we write down a model V = IR—it's approximately true, but it's not really true; if I put enough current through the resistor, it goes boom, so the voltage is not always proportional to the current, but for some purposes the model is appropriate”
