"The most important role for UNIX is to provide a file system." I looked up TGM which is mentioned in this manual (TGML). Apparently this was what Thompson used to write the B compiler. Anyway, I ended up on the Multicians site.

MOMSpider was the one I remember. What's interesting about web crawling is that it has always been controversial. Many website operators back then did not like crawlers. And that sort of sentiment continues to this day. The web has n

"_compact_ and readable" For me, the former compliments the later. The less code I have to read, the better.

Being an ignorant fool with an uninformed opinion, I would like to see a C compiler that is evaluated and critiqued not only based on the warnings and errors it generates but, more importantly, on the assembly it generates. Namely, how comp

There may be some irony in your choice of example. Showtime allowed Dexter to be rebroadcast in NZ on a delayed schedule (sometimes close to a year) on free, broadcast TV. That means any viewer with a little patience could watch Dexter with

You're speculating no fees paid to Oracle? "J2EE" does not suggest Oracle in any way? My understanding is that companies that license proprietary software are heavily involved in writing these open standards. Incorrect? Plea

"...424 lines of Java+Spring+Hibernate in 18 lines of bash." Curious. Were you paid to write the Java? If yes, how much did your employer spend to license that software? Is it possible that bloat supports livelihoods?

I use k/q to read HN, sort of like RSS. I'm a kdb+ novice but am determined to master it someday. This is a way for me to keep using k/q every day and build familiarity.

For my own silly reasons, I never cared for Grub[12] and never used it on any of my systems. I always go out of my way to avoid it. Finally I have some justification. Time to start fuzzing other bootloaders.

"preserve decentralization". "HTTP(S) fails". Bravo. Won't find too many willing to say this; it's the truth. The decentralized architecture that was the original plan for the "internet" is a worth

Bootloaders are small, but very important software. k/q is small but a very useful interpreter. There are so many examples, but it appears that to "the market" the most valued software development is large scale. The sentimen

Any way for someone outside of Scandinavia to purchase/rent some of these public IPv4 addresses? VPS? Datacenter?
