I'd wager that most people just don't get that the second "arg" (composed of multiple args) to find is an expression. Expressions are, somewhat unfortunately, code, so there's essentially a mini DSL there. find

The entire second on chess engines is, from the view of the entire thesis of TFA, is incoherent. Let's assume, for sake of argument, that I agree with the section: that an idealized chess move predictor isn't a predictor — which i

Yes, but also no. If I prompt a graphics artist, "draw me a picture, any style, of a calendar with this day circled in red", you do not have to tell them what a calendar looks like, what the days of the week are, or how many there

Well, so there's two other problems with system (and popen): 1. IME security teams want to run dumb linters over the code that look for such things. While uses such as the ones you describe are secure, the linter might be blunter tha

DHCP works over IPv6, but there's also a corresponding RA option, too, if your v6-only network doesn't use DHCP. https://www.rfc-editor.org/info/rfc8910/ is, I think, the latest version of the standard.
