Affine Connection

Now do a standard pax command.

Yes, but they were satisfied when IBM was given a license to use JSLint for evil.

Windows contains a lot of stuff proprietarily licensed to Microsoft, so they don’t have an option to turn all of it into free software even if they wanted to.

dd does not stand for “disk duplicator”. That’s a modern backronymization that doesn’t reflect the original general usage of the command which is to “convert and copy”. Efficiently (with respect to I/O) copying raw data is only one of its intended purposes; it also converts text encodings.

But dc is a reverse polish calculator Unix program. It’s even in the Bell Labs’ Unix 1^st edition manual.

:!kill -9 -1

It’s designed to be an extended vi clone above anything else.

C was built mostly to abstract from assembly

That’s actually not true; rather, many modern architectures are designed to allow languages like C to be compiled more easily. Old architectures don’t even have a built-in stack.

Ed Is The Standard Text Editor

ed, ex, and vi are all standard, required text editors in the Single Unix Specification.

I look forward to finding out how it’s actually much worse than meets the eye. [emphasis added]

It this schadenfreude because you hate Canonical and their Snap system?

[[ is not a POSIX shell feature.

use the app center

That’s a weird thing to call a package manager.

When was this?

Are there any advantages over Debian stable?

Because Hurd was disastrously conceived from the very beginning, it can never be more than an unnecessarily inefficient curiosity.

Wikipedia vandalism from ages ago.
It’s an old version of the article.

How much is ext4 filesystem-level encryption actually used though?

You won’t loose data or corrupt the filesystem if your system looses power.

Some secondary storage devices ignore standards and outright lie about sectors being successfully written when they are actually scheduled to be written out of order. This causes obvious problems when power failure prevents the true writes from completing. Nothing can be guaranteed for such drives.

Real programmers simulate butterflies in emacs.
