FWIW it was just a silly joke. I was going to write xargs first, but then realized that there's a couple of letters after x. I'm not even a zsh user myself. I honestly agree that reading through the man-pages a good idea (after

Sucks to not learn about zsh until the very end though ;)

Is this one of those regional things? Is the same word used throughout the entire English speaking world? Not a native English speaker myself, so my association was to the Greek word as well.

I'm not sure what we learned. Were we under the impression that it's impossible to introduce new (security) bugs in Linux?

I guess they only list projects that are hosted on GitHub. GNU projects tend to be hosted elsewhere.

It's not really ambiguous. 127.X does not equal 127.0.0.X. 127.X means, the first octet is described by the first number, and the last three octets is described by the second number , and X is not limited to 0-255. Thus 127.256 is equ

It's pretty silly to ask a command written in the seventies(?) to follow a convention (for another operating system ) presented in the nineties.

You misunderstand the point of the GPL. It's not there to protect the author of the code. It's there to protect the user of the code, i.e. the one you're selling the product to. In your scenario, the user won't have ac

by scbrg 6y ago
Not OP. I suppose though, that the point is that a system in which things happen serially you don't really have race conditions. Things either work, or they don't. If they don't, it's because they happen in the wrong o

I am sceptical. At least around here I strongly doubt that it'd even be legal to run that thing (or several of those things) across the pavement. Pavements are for walking, prams, wheelchairs and whatnot that would be obstructed. I m

Running out over the pavement to the cars in the street? With infrastructure to handle the problem of residents not necessarily being able to park in front of the buildings they live in. It seems non trivial to me.

The Conversation literally has a button you can click to help you copy & paste the article. And there's attribution at the end of the Singularity Hub repost. There's nothing shady going on here.
