The terminal was not built for that kind of automatic lookup, and I often find that options are only interesting in their contexts, so while it might in many cases be possible to show the docs for one option only I think you would have to w

It's the same argument but here in Sweden there a lot more people dying in motorcycle accidents (6x) and a lot fewer riders (1/100x). I think riding a bicycle is considered more scary because everyone can do it and you only consid

I hope that no one identifies with those machines so much that they can't take valid criticism of what that thing leads to. Sure incorporating of objects into ones self image is common, but I do not think we can solve it by tip toeing

No programming language design survives first contact with the programmers. This is also holds on project level if you are 100 persons working on the same project it's very easy to mess it up. I've seen lots of bad python code, I

You did remember it; "MySQL". It was an joint stock company so it is actually MySQL AB, but that postfix is quite similar to LLC, S.A. or A/S. AB literally translates to stock company, I think the english term is joint stock

Growing is easy when you start from zero, and reducing is easy when you can easily move your production elsewhere. BP statistical review probably have their numbers right, I'm more concern about the message they want to spread. (I do n

I believe those are all good books, based on QED, Chance&C, Polyominoes which are some of my favorite science books, I would recommend spending time and money on them. If you do not want to buy them just read through the list it's

Highways create alot of dead space that can not be used for other things than really low value stuff. So it's a fair comparision, considering we are talking about walking in a city center vs. people polluting the same size of land
