I mean .. use whatever you feel comfortable with, make sure you understand what you're doing, the terminal is the closest interface to the OS. I personally use it a lot but this arguments have been going on over (and over)+ again. And

Many of us have come across them at uni I guess - but there are so many books around. This one always made me smile a bit : Introduction to Algorithms : Hardcover 1312 pages Introduction ? :-)

Anyway I envy you guys, now things tend to be too high level and you lose that holistic view of the computing machine. Back than you felt pretty skilled I am sure, now I feel anybody could do my job, often. Unless you are working for the bi

I must have been a bloody hard and interesting work, back then.

I am a bit puzzled by this: "Before about the early 90s, we didn’t trust C compilers, so we wrote in assembly." There a lot of games released during the 80's, were they really all written in assembly ? https://www.

I have been a Linux user for more than a decade - recently switched to OpenBSD and I must say I agree. Linux has become a chaotic place to be, I agree.

I depend on the JVM in my mind traslates to "my target is the JVM" You are "dependent" if you want on the RunTime (rt.jar). The way it was explained to me, and the model which I sticking to in my mind is: Abstract Machin

Not sure. I have seen people having two windows: 1. Vim 2. Terminal for compiling I found it quite handy, then I discovered Emacs :-) We could stay on the subject for years I reckon.

Actually I use it in place of screen. I always thought of it as "a better screen"

Yeah, that is what I was taught as well. From one abstract machine to another. If we think about it javac would not be a compiler otherwise :-)

You will need to know the C language, not C++. As with many things you will follow an example, then another, then after a few you will walk using your own legs. To build a module you don't need to build the kernel, but you do need the

I would propose Linux Kernel Development by Robert Love. It is not for beginners though. That could help you in applying your new C skills in writing a simple device driver/kernel module you can play with. If are really into low level

Due to lack of personal knowledge is not quite clear to me what the problem is with mobile devices. It seems to be the fact that they very often change IP address. am I right ? Is there any resource you would recommend to make my mind up ?

Yeah, thanks for clarification. As a technical person I find myself a bit confused as I don't know if I should follow some buzz and try to make money in the short term of go deep and go for the long term. Will it pay off ? Of course I

You are soo right ! There is a shift going on between "operators" and "engineer", many "software engineering" jobs mainly configure and operate on the top of somebody's else product. They do write code bu
