This sounds like a good idea at first, but i dare you to take a non trivial Lisp function and "pythonize". This instantly becomes an indentation nightmare. Lisp function calls are highly nested and rarely one per line.

"Climbing Mount Improbable"[1] is the title of a book by Richard Dawkins. Haven't read it yet, but I can absolutely recommend "The Greatest Show on Earth"[2]. [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cl

>>Beside that, I really don't get the point of all this, seriously. Not from a technological benefit, be warned, but from a user perspective the benefit is almost intangible. Why should the average sysadmin care? Linux is a rock

"Linux was once 10,000 lines of code and required part-time tending. It’s now 19 million lines of code, and changing it involves a complex hierarchy." Just wondered: 19 MLOC all driver code included, right?

Or you could put a TOC at the beginning (you know, like in a book) and do no sliding at all. -> No confusion, great overview, direct jumps with hyperlinks, easy to realize with pure HTML.

You have it pretty much the other way around. The reason we have to rely on all this stuff like * NFS, CIFS, etc for networked files * Kerberos for network wide auth * LDAP for network wide user management * basically all http abuse for mus

"Introduction to OS Abstractions Using Plan 9 From Bell Labs" by Francisco J Ballestros is a great help, too. http://plan9.stanleylieber.com/_books/comp/plan9/Introductio...

>how do we stream a 4k screen or perhaps why would we stream a 4k screen? Exactly! Why would you? Plan9 networks typically consist of File/Auth/CPU Servers and Terminals. Every machine boots from and has its rootfs on the File

My guess would be that despite what they are advocating believes are something you cannot be too tightly bound to as a high ranking government official. But this discussion is becoming increasingly off topic.

>let it be offered by the market 1) But that is the whole point: It is warranted, because it is imposed on the providers( at least until law changes). It is quite obvious that ISPs have no interest in doing so by them selves. Netflix was

The irony here is, that being statically linked isn't even considered an advantage by many people these days.

Since the window system exposes all windows including their attributes(position,size, etc) via the file system, at least some of the tiling WM functionality could easily be implemented with rc scripts. Being a dwm user myself I planned to d

Even better: Add fn term%{ $* } to your profile and you can just dbl-left-click and send the old command. And since Rio remembers your last menu item selection this becomes just dbl-left-sgl-middle-click on second execution. Pretty neat. Ed

Yes, one can't stress enough how much Plan 9 is not Unix. When Bell Labs eventually gave up on Research Unix and started from scratch they deliberately broke with almost every standard and convention in existence. The programming langu
