I have used Ada a lot on big projects. It takes slightly longer to develop programs, but this time lost is regained by spending less time hunting bugs. Finding good developpers in Ada is a real problem. You need at least one good developper

I have also learned eiffel and read Meyer's book. The terrible standard library with the deep inheritence trees was my main complaint about this language. All his critics about C++ were very insightful. At that time almost nobody was s

Around linux 0.99 pl10 or 12, Linus wanted to compile the kernel using C++ compiler. I do not remember exactly the purpose. He has discovered many bugs in g++ and many slowness that were "impossible" to solve because of the existe

I have some hate toward Oracle because I have worked in databases and because I have learned unix with SunOS (and also because Oracle has ruined the security reputation of java applet). Concerning Java, I do not understand. It seems they ar

bash is good enough for launching commands and short scripts. When you want to manipulate data that may contain special characters or write not trivial algorithms, it becomes insane. I think it is a feature. It indicates that bash is not th

The early releases of Linux were on floppy disks. More than 20 disks. You could not compile the kernel while X was running unless you had at least 8 Mb. I was the lucky owner of a 486dx33 with 16 Mb.

At work, in the scope of a migration from RHEL 6 to rhEL 7, I have spend a lot of time migrating scripts from ksh (pdksh) to bash in order to remove this dependency. I have not seen any advantage of ksh over bash. There are many differences

At work, I have just migrated to RHEL 7. With RHEL 7.3, there was a problem with gedit (impossible to resize). This ought to be solved in 7.4. In 7.4 most of the applications crash because GTK does not check correctly the values returned by

I think man pages should be bound to the code. For example chapter 2 should be part of kernel. When a new system call is added, the associated man page should be in the same commit. If a maintainer see a commit that would have an impact of

I find also C-a to be a terrible choice. At work, we have screen instead of tmux. I have configured screen to use C-b like tmux default.
