The Unix Hater's Handbook (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Unix-Haters_Handbook https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Unix-Haters_Handbook) has a few sections on of some of the ills of the Unix philosophy.
- marcosdumay 11y agoThe UNIX Haters Handbook shows its age, it's criticizing a system that has only a passing similarity with modern unixes. But yes, it's funny.
- Fenume 11y agoAgreed. Modern unixes are a lot worse.
- thinkmoore 11y agoAgreed, I posted mostly for the humor, though there are some grains of truth there still.
- nickpsecurity 11y agoNonetheless, the specific examples show the UNIX system contradicted many of the supposedly "UNIX" principles. The article seems a bit revisionist in a pro-UNIX way in that sense. Unsurprising. Saying that these are modern UNIX principles might be more fair. Yet, Kemp's article inspires doubt in even that: http://queue.acm.org/detail.cfm?id=2349257 http://queue.acm.org/detail.cfm?id=2349257
