'tooling gets deleted' could easily happen after changing logging systems... while it would be shortsighted to uninstall your old logging system entirely (if you have logs laying around in that format) it's not unheard of. Th

That's what the grandparent was explaining though. We have near-ubiquitous tools for dealing with plaintext files. Every Linux admin knows them and uses them in many more situations than just log files. They can be scripted and piped,

I'm sorry, but you're wrong. A quick google search does you no good because of all of the misinformation about it. Read the real information... Wikipedia has a great summary with plenty of references: http://en.wikipedi

First of all, Apple isn't PULLING apps now that the Apple Watch is released. The Pebble app is still there, and you can still use it. This whole uproar is about a single developer who had his app denied by a specific reviewer at Apple

I can understand what you mean, but isn't the consumer's best interest sort of... subjective? Apple has obviously gone to great lengths to make their walled garden a reliable and safe place for consumers who have chosen to buy the

You start up movie theater. You sell ads to marketing companies for before the movie. One of those ads is pushing a competing movie theater. Are you really saying you would allow it to run just so that you can 'help the consumer'?

I totally agree with this analogy. All of the hate in these threads is just... weird. Maybe it's because people relate better to the developers who are losing money, than the company who is controlling it. My bet is someone with a basi

I appreciate you considering the point! I can imagine it being a difficult thing to solve. For now, thank you SO MUCH for mentioning /active and /best. I had no idea those existed, and they are exactly what I need.

Thank you for your reply. While you said my comment wasn't especially negative, I understand that the first sentence could have been taken that way, and that's probably the reason for the downvotes. It's just that I've s

Personally, I think this is the phase where what you need most is practice. There are practical things you need to learn that you just can't learn without running into them during a project. Just keep practicing. Varied things. Challen
