For me to understand what you mean here, I'm going to need examples... for the stuff I work on, the things you are saying here are verifiably impossible. There is no possible way to 1. get a complete picture 2. understand all the cons

I use org-mode for todos, which is pretty damned nice (after a sharp learning curve). It lets me link to Jira, email, slack, and files in one place. I'm planning on adding TODO and BUG entries from my code files into an org-based track

Could a G4 to G5 storm disrupt air planes while in flight? Do they ever cancel air travel for this level of storm?

I actually have a really hard time just reading source code to understand it. Even if it's heavily commented, I learn better from debate, trade off analysis, or failure analysis. To put it simply, I like argue and break things.

I actually have Crafting Interpreters on my shelf! It looks like APUE might be the ticket to fill in some of my gaps though. Thank you for the suggestion. Escape sequences should be fine (famous last words?).

Is there a "checklist" for writing your own shell? Or a comprehensive guide? This looks very cool, and I've been having a lot of inspiration to write my own shell, but I want to make it vaguely compatible with my system. POS

I thought Conway's law was fairly prolific. Though, the closer it is to a true a "law", then the closer GP's comment approaches a tautology. https://wikipedia.org/wiki/Conway%27s_law

It is common knowledge. Kids play the choking game, people die from autoerotic asphyxiation, and folks who fly or dive are trained to recognize the symptoms as well. The burning feeling that you get when your hold your breath is a build up

Indeed, but then there is, "using a query language designed for data analysis in event sourced systems to: read, parse, version, and write system and configuration files instead of using VCS like Git" levels of wrong, and sales&#

My problem is that the least wrong thing I know of is very different from all existing processes, and take more time and money than most are willing to stomach.

You are correct of course, https://github.com/Maldela/fancontrol-gui/commit/1667dc46651... However, I don't want my locale to reflect all units this way. I might try overriding the locale for this single

It's not just tech people, but any field with a high enough complexity. The "abstract" of a journal article is supposed to contain all the key points of a science experiment including the results , but it's too rare tha

After a certain point I think someone can learn enough information to derive almost everything from first principles. But I think it might work temporarily. There's a movie about this idea called "Eternal Sunshine of a Spotless Mi

The feeling of extreme euphoria and its connection to highly addictive drugs like Heroin might be a use case. Though I'm not sure how well something like that would work in practice.

But a car engine isn't "just" a car engine. It's an engine, and can make all kinds of things move. If you don't know it works, sure you can drive a car, but a lot of missed opportunities to leverage the same exact

American units are actually pegged to metric standards, and quite a few people use SI units here and there. I don't see cm overtaking inches anytime soon though. Just the other day, I opened up my fancontrol-gui and saw my CPU temperat

How would you exclude certain units from your logs? Let's say that Auditd is spamming your logs, and you just want to exclude those? Can you filter on search? How do you prevent applications from writing to Systemd at all?

Indeed, a corrolary in computer science is the the reasoning behind why using the Go programming language is, in general, a major mistake. Simple vocabularies, while attractive will inevitably fail to properly describe systems of any suffic

Everyone who uses BSD says the same thing, but it's still unclear to me what you mean. What inconsistencies does Linux have that BSD does not? I've looked for an explanation, but I only get high level explanations, or specific fea

It's also a great opportunity to give the TSA agent hands on practice. Need to get them skilled up, frisking on behalf of "on the go" VIPs. They usually laugh at that joke while fondling me.
