I am not sure, but it looks vaguely familiar. There is a text-based game called adventure game called Dunnet where you come across a CPU card, and do some stuff with it later on. As far as I remember, the game predates SSH, so the game eith

I hard-reboot about once a week, caused by my carelessness and running out of 16GB of RAM. I always recommend against btrfs for system partitions, and if you don't make frequent backups, against user partitions too. Read through "

I've had some bad experience with btrfs. When I had to hard-reset a hung computer, some directories became unremovable and unrenameable. All else failed, and I attempted to --repair, it did so much damage that I had to reformat the dis

As for whether that constitutes a major difference or not, it's a judgement call. And I don't agree with your judgement. Here are the full facts, in their own words: NECSS: in response to Dr. Dawkins’ approving re-tweet of a

Ruby? Not as far as I know. Matz rejected the Contributor Covenant, and instated the PostgreSQL CoC. Maybe you meant Ruby On Rails? They have adopted the Contributor Covenant.

I have done some work in Java and Javascript. It was all done with hate. If there was any love there, it was for the paychecks I got at the end of each month.

Thank you for the response! For me, the startup time ranges between 0.3-0.45 seconds. I have an old i5 3rd Gen processor. Presumably, your system is faster. This should give you an idea of the timing of my shells, compared to the latest git

I so wanted to like xonsh, but the startup time is too slow. I keep spawing new shells every now and then for every little task. When I'm done with the task, I close it. Xonsh has noticeable startup delays. I don't have a taste

You shouldn't complain about extensions to the language. C needs extensions too. For example, many architectures have 3 (or more) memory spaces: program/code, data, IO. If you want to do anything on IO, you'd have to rely on

Not only that, but buttons usually had hotkeys (underlined letters) that made the OS very easy to use without a mouse. Until we moved away from Windows 2000, colleagues used to be amazed at how fast I navigated. With the precedent set by XP

I think the 500 limit is justified as a means to discourage vote-brigading. Age of the account, by itself, is not a good enough indicator, because a person might create hundreds of accounts to be used for brigading at a later date. But, yes

SteamOS is holding back the Linux community. SteamOS is still based on Debian 8 (Jessie). Steam software often clashes with existing libraries of a current system. When I benchmarked Steam games, they delivered only 65% of the Windows perfo
