This is the exact reason I have held off on fully switching to something like zsh or fish as well. I have a few thousand servers and basically the only guaranteed thing is that they will have some version of bash or at least sh installed.

That would be great. Probably about 40% of all issues in bash scripts I see is people trying to parse ls because they don't know other tools. It would be amazing if ls reigned in the features some so people learned better tools.

I used to think that RMS was crazy for essentially wgeting every site he wanted to browse locally, but now it is making a lot of sense. Also, could you share your list? I always love finding new sites.

You list Code for America, imgur, Berkeley, Stanford, and others under partners on your website. How are they using this? And do you have some links to blog posts of them talking about it or something?

Sidenote: But I don't understand why restaurant websites that I have seen are so bad. Is there a specific, prolific company that does these? The trend of restaurants around me is to just have a single png scan of their menu and nothing

Ah, okay you are able to print them because some are public domain. But it doesn't look like all of them are? Looking at the category that I am guessing you pulled these from ( https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Cat

I was really excited for this, but it is just a wrapper for the Google Art project. I am not really sure how you got the rights to be able to sell prints of these, or why you want to charge $9.99 a month for a pro version, but good luck!

Love the article! But wow this site hurts my eyes. Yellow and red font on a black background aligned very far right?

Nice site! Some of them don't work though. For example, the "Tim Cook Drops to #53 on Glassdoors List of Highest Rated CEOs" one just displays empty bullet points.

I can only speak about my own experience as an ops person, but C++ always just felt off to me for some reason. I tried to learn and use it for about 6 months and I always felt like I was so bogged down in minutia and standards. C let's

Not a lawyer, but I thought that was only applicable if you suddenly plead the 5th after originally answering questions? From what I know he has always remained silent so I don't think they could do much with that.

Same. I am not super hip on modern web dev, but why are they calling 19 uncompressed, external JS resources and a 6k line index.html for a single page with 2 gifs on it?
