The omission of Perl from this post was pretty striking - not even mentioned in the final thoughts (instead thought to do the whole thing in awk??). Perl has fallen from grace as a general programming language and even as a systems administ

Is there a way of using this in conjunction with, say, curl? I'd love to be able to grab clean web pages for offline use and printing.

I'm assuming an ignorance in IT which allows for a vote of confidence from a trusted party to go unquestioned and unsubstantiated. Not a blind faith in all IT.

I can assume that a wider and deeper understanding of how software works would have meant that the investigations would have demanded a more thorough accounting of how the software worked, evidence provided by the system that it's calc

It's interesting seeing a TV drama (and, more widely, a great miscarriage of justice turned into a public outcry) centred around an IT issue. This should be something for the HN community to take note, as this scandal is for Fujitsu th

I believe that features that were proposed/planned are now implemented, which makes it higher confidence but, of course, not certain.

A shipowner was about to send to sea an emigrant-ship. He knew that she was old, and not overwell built at the first; that she had seen many seas and climes, and often had needed repairs. Doubts had been suggested to him that possibly she w

The top of the flowchart needs more options - there's a whole opinion golf world of trying to distill a point into as few sentences/syllables as possible,or trying to find a punchy way of summarising. If you can say all you need t

When Proton came out I had multiple people on HN going on quite long rants about how Linux would never be viable for gaming. One multi-million-unit-selling handheld gaming system later and I don't see those arguments much anymore.

I don't understand what you mean. There are two sets of puzzles that are inaccessible so that means that all of it is invalid? Also, are you confusing "thesis" with "masterclass"? I'm not saying that The Witnes
