Yes, BART sucks, yada yada yada. In hindsight, not commuting by BART anymore was probably the best fucking decision I'd done for my mental health in my life. That said, charging for ingress / egress from the same station's ha

IIUC incognito's not effective at evading fingerprinting. It's really only good for preventing auto-complete accidents when e.g. you're giving a group presentation.

Yes I read the book decades ago and it was indeed excellent. IIRC, the technical details are probably too light for the HN crowd, but it was the biographical stories that had interested me. For an even shorter, and lighter, read on checkers

It felt like an acquihiring to build their internal cloud, with an hedge that if it's wildly successful, may even be offered as a public product. However, Linux (and containers running on Linux) ate everyone's lunch.

I think this is because some tools print the usage message to stderr rather than stdout (ironically I couldn't find an example while typing up this reply). Try: $ foo -h 2>&1 | grep bar

I'd imagine it would be very difficult, and would require a relatively powerful MCU. Ben Eater's made a few videos discussing how PS/2[0] and USB keyboards[1] work. USB's a vastly more complicated protocol compared to PS

FreeBSD's geli is more similar to Linux's dm-crypt. Of course with (Open)ZFS native encryption finally available for both FreeBSD and Linux, you could also compare them to zvols.

To play devil's advocate: it's because one size does not fit all. C gives you the flexibility to tailor your implementation for your specific needs. Whereas in a higher level language, you'd have to fight the language /
