Aside from bashing a paradigm one is not used to/doesn’t like/didn’t grow up with, what are the real cases where dealing with the textual output of procfs creates serious realistic performance issues? The argument about insecurity

Can someone with real knowledge on deployment and usage of these language tell where are they being used (beyond a dedicated hobbyist community)? Which industries? What systems? Volume of transactions? Genuinely interested and will appreci

Yes. This is the result of vast olygopolization. Market shares cannot grow and natural growth of revenues are not enough for boards of directors. Thus, they want you to pay many times over your lifetime what you’d have paid once for a produ

Typical case of a monopoly hug-of-death. Buy a better competitor for (relatively) cheap, milk the bright but somewhat naive heads for ideas and smother to death. Leaving no trace. Waze was great and achieved tremendous success all of its ow

Quite shallow selection. How were the videos selected vs. other videos on the same topic (and say similar length)? What are the credentials of the curator to convince curator’s choices are indeed worthwhile?

To become wise, rather than merely clever, two additional elements are necessary. One is humility. Cleverness often leads to various forms of hubris. The most dangerous of which is to overvalue one’s deductions/decisions (as opposed to
