No. Someone may well work out perfectly logically that there's nothing more for them to do in life. And that's their choice. You're pathologising someone just for coming to a certain conclusion. Of course, people might als

Research 9th and 10th had a /cs pretty much identical to Plan 9's /net. I doubt with any of that user-level control, though. IIRC Research's fmount(2) would've allowed people to run their own (unrestricted) copy o

Maybe it's like grep. `grep asterisk` is different from `cat asterisk |grep`, in that it knows which file it's in and which line number of that file the match is on.

"Rude" things are 100% superficial, pretty much by definition of rude. (As soon as something becomes an issue in terms of actual consequences, we stop using the word "rude" and starting saying other things: unacceptable,

Any sensible code is going to have to do that stuff whether the machine's endianness matches IP's or not, though. It happens on BE boxes too. It's either that or write completely different code for different CPUs.

Actually... I can't think of a better word for people who envangelise Plan 9 on comment sites but never actually use it themselves.

It's the same C code doing IP, going through the same steps and the same number of steps, whether the underlying machine is little- or big-endian. So if you're saying about wasted cycles...

I'd like it better if it was more like csvkit, with a separate jqgrep, jqfmt, jqsort... that you combine using the shell. Because of course everybody already knows the shell.

I take it you're predominantly inattentive (you omit the letter H). I see on the ADHD web sites they always advocate exercise, and I dismiss it out of hand every time as something I don't think would apply to me. I tend to think o

"They don't even know that you can single click." I see alot of younger people are like this about some things. (but not single-clicking obviously.) How about raking your scrollwheel through fifteen pages to get somewhere? An

If we're being objective, I think we can agree that having multiple buttons is more basic and more self-evident knowledge than being able to click a button in multiple ways.
