Probably the most famous (rightly so). If you like Yeager, I highly recommend reading his memoirs - it makes The Right Stuff seem like an amateur hour aviation book.

I use the left control key on a full sized desktop keyboard as my "palm" key (I press it with the heel of my left hand). Being an Emacs user, it made my left pinky so much happier. This doesn't work on laptops because of the

No problem. I've just checked and it looks like libcgroup is not maintained any more and fallen behind the cgroups development. This may work instead: systemd-run --scope -p MemoryMax=4M rtorrent You can also set other quotas - `man sy

A plug: I wrote a process launcher that uses cgroups to set a per process limit for memory and swap use (that was before Docker). It was for an online game service; the challenge was to run multiple instances of the game app on the cluster

This happens to be my favorite book, so I'm sorry to hear that. I was recently recommending it to a Romanian friend (who doesn't read Russian) and I was hoping he would be able to relate to it since he's from an ex-Soviet blo

Amazing, $30 is considered high for a mobile plan. In Canada it's the price of the lowest end plan from the lowest end provider. A plan from a big name provider will be at least $60 with capped data.
