So most programs can't "just create a device node".

How does a program set up the device node in the chroot if it's jailed in the chroot? Is that possible? Would any non-root program be able to create device nodes?

Sorry, i can't find a download for Linux, so how is this supposed to take over the world? :(

No need for the latest and greates from the R&D departments of Intel. Even if the CPU will be at the level of some older Pentium models, it will be good enough to run office suites and Linux in some government departments. More then eno

Like producing an ARM or Sparc or MIPS based design? Why would that be unimaginable? Qualcomm, AMD, Nvidia, Samsung and Co. do this. You're overestimating this and you're claiming that this processor would be new from the ground,

It's probably nice if you only write JS (say, you write a node.js app). To me SQL is still the best query language we have. It's usable amongst a wide range of database servers, from tiny embedded sqlite to oracle. It's _easy

I didn't question the usefulness, i still often use vim and i am regularly amazed by it. But still.

Sort of let's me wonder, why anybody would want to learn all those. I use vim regularly, but to be honest, for 90% of tasks i would be just as efficient with pico or mcedit. I guess i am using vim only because it is most often availabl

Sounds interesting. Could you explain a bit more how this works, briefly? I find the GNU stow page not really good to understand and lack some example of how it would be used...

Why ansible? I'm storing my dotfiles in a private git repo and sync across multiple laptops. Works fine so far. Put the dotfiles and directories into git. Symlink from ~/.vim to ~/dotfiles/.vim and be done with it. (~&#x

I think the biggest point why python does NOT need underscore is that python has pip and for almost every problem exists a simpler helper library. Probably _the_ reason for underscore is that it can be distributed via CDNs and cached by the

No, Arial Unicode MS: 22,1 MB. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unicode_font And you clearly don't understand that a) this thread contains unicode that my browser still doesn't show, despite your magic fallback

by buster 12y ago
Which only shows that you know nothing. A unicode font can come in at about 20MB, but let's add more tiny pictures and make it 100MB, so that i can see the snowman on your webpage (which would be probably 2-5 kB as png). Why should my

And that device would have a keyboard with thousands of keys? Btw. that device exists today, and it's called a tablet. I'm pretty sure i have seen stuff exactly like that and it serves a great purpose. The consistent set of "

Why would documents using Webdings stop working today? I'm pretty sure they still work. That's a lame excuse. Considering your point, wouldn't it have been the chance to clean up this mess with unicode instead of piling up sh

The point is that it will never happen that all codepoints are available everywhere (every font, evers OS, every device), and i certainly don't want a gazillion of pictures loaded on my smartphones little memory, just because some peop

The distinction between normal language and graphical representation is the same as what is clipart and what is a official part of a language. Is poo a letter? No. Is A a letter? Yes. Fonts are not a clipart gallery and not a place for some

And you consider Wingdings a good thing in the first place?! It's an abomination that should never have happened.

I don't even understand your question. How is a character of a normal language (and i consider chinese normal) different from the picture of crap? And why would we put up a huge library of tiny pictures? If i want to look at cat pics,

by buster 12y ago
So, putting poo into unicode is just the same as hieroglyphs? Or hebrew or arabic or chinese characters? Still don't agree.

Because it's waste. Because if not every font implements it, what is the usefulness of it? Did you ever visit websites that use glyphs your font doesn't know? How would you use those pictures on a website, when you can't even

I really don't agree on your definition of fonts. When i write a letter i am certainly not painting rows of little pictures on a sheet of paper.

Do we really need small pictures in fonts?

By that logic noone can ever be rewarded for his work outside of his field. Of course he can be rewarded for his work on RPi, which had more impact on mankind then some video game from 30 years ago.
