I'd call the Arch wiki comprehensive, but not cohesive . A prerequisite for cohesive documentation is that the system it's documenting is cohesive. The BSDs, as you noted, have cohesiveness down to a science, and their documentat

Links is certainly an interesting tool, but you certainly shouldn't look at it as the only "niche" way in which people might read your website. This is Windows 7, with the latest version of Chrome - the only difference from

I completely agree with you that Lennart scratched an itch, which is the way all good software gets started, and others picked up on it. Where I think the systemd-naysayers have a valid point is around the tight coupling that has been intro

I've gotten a meeting invite at 9am for a org-wide all-hands at 10am that day. Always a bad sign. Since I hadn't left for the office yet, I was able to quickly change into my black "WTF?" shirt from Thinkgeek, and still make it in time to f

I think the key difference is between assertions/"this should never happen" error checking, and actual error conditions that you want to pass back to client code, because it knows better than you do what the right thing to do is. When you'r

To put it another way - any potential future competitor to UNIX will have to include UNIX, via a POSIX compatibility layer. But that won't be enough, because of all the extensions to POSIX. So you really need a Linux compatibility layer (

If that's really a concern: if (a): arg = b else: arg = c foo(arg) In my experience, trying to optimize for brevity at the expense of clarity is almost always a bad idea.
