find is essentially the command line tool for traversing the file system hierarchy recursively. It's got a million options, e.g. whether to follow symlinks, depth, file/directory/device/.., user, group, change time and many more. When you u

Well, just below the Plan 9 sections comes this: http://catb.org/~esr/writings/taoup/html/ch20s03.html#id3016... And he's right, ioctl's can be quite tricky to operate sometimes.

I think linux users, if they would go for such a thing, will be better served by systemd. See for example http://0pointer.de/blog/projects/instances.html http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2011-Sep...

Yes, and you can also have multiple parents with a reference-count semantics. void * talloc_steal(const void * new_ctx, const void * ptr); The talloc_steal() function changes the parent context of a talloc pointer. It is typically

I have used talloc for a medium-sized project, and it was quite refreshing. Of course, it all depends on your program's structure. An hierarchical allocator naturally fits hierarchical data structures and containers, so parsers for example

I learned C as my first language, and there was nothing "confusing" about it. I find C to be quite direct - here's a variable, there's a loop, a function, a struct. Even pointers are straightforward one you know about memory and addresses,

Python 3.1 changes the way floats are converted to strings. See http://docs.python.org/dev/py3k/whatsnew/3.1.html#other-lang...

What about this: http://docs.python.org/dev/py3k/whatsnew/3.1.html#other-lang... (the fifth bullet) It seems to make things more reasonable. After all, Python has showed that saying "that just how it works" can be avoided, as in the case
