I guess there aren't that many valuable minerals in seawater. For example, Fritz Haber, a German Nobel Prize winner in chemistry, tried to extract gold from seawater after WWI to pay for the war reparations... long story short, the con

Bash as a language is a downright bad. Especially the mess around `,",'. Fish is better is in this regard, however the syntax of Fish's string-related functions is unbearable. (I have a growing suspicion, with string-related

That means, on modern Laptops, the firmware is "sitting inside" proprietary hardware, so that it is irrelevant if this firmware is proprietary or not. If this is conclusion of mine is correct(?), that means: even less motivation f
