You should at least use `set -u` in this script, otherwise, at some point, you'll fail to set $APP and end up running: rm -rf /home/username/apps/ Guess how I learned this lesson? :)

Nonsense. It's utter pedantry to pretend that a couple of isolated posts where they happen to use the words "open" and "source" together proved anything. In your first example, they're clearly using it as &quot

Where do you think money comes from? Seriously, how do you think it's created?

Yes it does. Countries with bigger populations can do more, not less. That should be obvious.

Ah! That's where I read it! Thanks, I read that book a year ago and couldn't remember where I'd heard that factoid.

And yet, most blind mathematicians are geometers, which suggests your theory is incorrect.

What on earth are you talking about? Do you know what is meant by"equity"? Are you following the context of this article? It seems like you're just spouting random phrases without a clue what we're discussing.

Then perhaps you should have made that comment rather than a nonsensical one about machines?

That would make sense if everything was produced entirely by machines, but it doesn't make any sense in the current real world.

From your own link: "The failings contributed to the worst flu season for seven years, with 15,000 deaths from the virus, around twice the average figure, and the worst NHS performance on record." Not 50,000.

Remember this is written from an Armenian perspective, so over 60% renting or mortgage is going to seem very high compared to 4% in Armenia.

Yes, I think you're right. In that case, it certainly wasn't the case back when Linux started. Intel and Redhat are the biggest contributors according to the Linux Kernel Development Report from 2017: Intel 10,833 13.1% none

Actually, I've changed my mind. I still don't think an antibody test should be a prerequisite for current action, but I think it will be very useful for deciding what to do in a few weeks.

Number of daily deaths for the last 3 days, as I mentioned before, was 31. The 3 days before that, 18. The 3 days before that 15. That is clearly increasing. I know it's not from the statistics. Note I don't need to know the exact

No, that's completely wrong. Denmark only had its first death 2 weeks ago (a single death) and one the following day. Over the last 3 days, it's had 31 deaths. The number of active cases is still shooting up. It's very earl

Because if the number was 0.0005% you wouldn't see ICUs and morgues overwhelmed (why don't you calculate how many people that is for your country?) And, again, that's my point: you're asking why it can't be a ridicu

Because if you're a competent enough programmer to contribute to the Linux kernel, you're probably competent enough to get a job as a programmer.

I'm not being irrational; you are. I accept what I'm seeing as the reality of the situation. You appear to be looking for numbers that will tell you things are different to the observed reality. That's my point.
