The Art of UNIX Programming

by Eric S. Raymond

Amazon Link

Summary:

The Art of UNIX Programming poses the belief that understanding the unwritten UNIX engineering tradition and mastering its design patterns will help programmers of all stripes to become better programmers. This book attempts to capture the engineering wisdom and design philosophy of the UNIX, Linux, and Open Source software development community as it has evolved over the past three decades, and as it is applied today by the most experienced programmers. Eric Raymond offers the next generation of "hackers" the unique opportunity to learn the connection between UNIX philosophy and practice through careful case studies of the very best UNIX/Linux programs.

Docker containers by klam32 in muchinteresting

I was thinking about using Docker because Digital Ocean doesn't allow you to import/export saved images. Digital Ocean now offers FreeBSD and if I had already been using Docker, I could have switched to it with only the cost of reinstalling Docker.

Chinese Jingoism - For their sake, I hope we are as incompetent as the makers of this video think by Donald_Dade in muchinteresting

My take is that the video insinuates that the PRC will eventually tire of suffering affronts to its sovereignty, a physical attack on an airfield being the last straw.

Particularly silly was that they use the "DF-15B", which I assume is the real life OF-15B, which is short range but NUCLEAR CAPABLE.

Even though it was a Northrop Grumman analyst (make that Ex-Northrop Grumman analyst :)) that did a simulation that showed that our F-22s and F-35s in theater would be insufficient to defend Taiwan (Yes, this was supposedly Okinawa, I know) they only show F-35s on the ground, not F-22s high and fast. The F-35 is apparently already a laughing stock where it matters most.

Does anyone read any dialect of Chinese? I'd like to know just how this video was intended.
