Hard to believe there are 124 comments here and nobody has brought up Grace Hopper's talk[0][1] yet. With good humour she gives a example of what various devices' latency are, and a simple tool to comprehend the cost and orders of

Understandable. The dtrace command you see is tracing a process "ls" (regardless of switches). I didn't show my work (ls -ld .) that generated the output, so your confusion isn't unfounded. :)

I wish there were sample documents, but if one had two computed hashes would this mitigate this SHA1-shattered flaw ? e.g. good_doc.pdf sha1=da39a3ee5e6b4b0d3255bfef95601890afd80709, md5=d41d8cd98f00b204e9800998ecf8427e ? With the sample pr

This sort of development is often illuminating. I develop on *BSD, Linux, Solaris (SPARC), and MacOS X when I can, and even though they're "all UNIX", interesting insights abound, and dealing w different endianess (SPARC == b

This isn't comparing X11 emacs to vi, it's emacs (built w/ a no-x11 switch) on NetBSD compared w/ native nvi. If this were an X11 enabled binary, you'd see links to various X11 libs and GUI toolkits, similar to this
