Since we are joking, assuming that the MOV instruction exists on many CPU's, could the input for this compiler be considered a needed "portable assembly language"? http://cr.yp.to/…

In theory it should not make a difference but my scripts seem to run faster when I use exec after pipe. Normally I would only add exec to the last command in the script, as djb doe…

Thanks for taking the time to comment. Multiple arguments could be added if you want that. I personally do not need it as I search the cmdline patterns I need without using spaces.…

s/Unix/Linux/ The following can be adapted to provide other information: whatever procfs provides. This is a rough equivalent of "pgrep -fl .|less". Work-in-progress . Don't know i…

Why do programmers try to convince others which programming language to use? Why should they care what languages others are using?

I do not understand your argument. To give an example, there is a lot of free open source software mirrored all over the internet, mostly on ftp servers, but also on http, rsync, e…

So you are admitting you have not tested this and you are just going by what you read. When was the last time you used any "smaller Unices"? Anyway, even if the problems with -nogr…

Worse is that Google tries to stop scraping. It's like they don't want anyone to see past the first page of results. They could scrape your website and then they prevent you form s…

Are you saying you yourself do this? You're using BSD, running in VGA textmode, from which you run qemu with -nographic to load an image of another OS? You yourself are doing this?…

I was referring to how long it takes to build from source and how much RAM and CPU it uses while building. The interface is fine. I love Qemu. Bellard writes great software. My ear…

What OS are you using? Is it working for you in VGA text mode (no x11)? Is this now working on other UNIX-like OS besides Linux? I have had problems with -nographic in the past and…

From Rob Pike quote at the end, after the Ryan Dahl quote: "... the UNIX/POSIX/Linux systems of today are messier, clumsier and more complex than the systems the original UNIX was …

+1 for being able to run on Bochs. There's nothing minimalistic about Qemu. It's an enormous resource intensive program to build. And it's not even easy to run in text mode (no x11…

MS-DOS was written for only one processor. UNIX kernels could run on a variety of processors, including ARM; UNIX was a relative latecomer to x86. As for Windows kernels, both then…

"It is simply a matter of familiarity." Your comment focuses on how fast the compiler generates lines of assembly, after the programmer has constructed a solution. But unless I hav…

Use int 80h for UNIX

How does Charles handle gzip,deflate? I use a short shell script for MITM. It simply runs two socats and netsed in between them. I create ca.pem and server2.pem with openssl, insta…

rm only removes OS "metadata" -- it removes the link to the reference. The file's data is not touched. Here's a stupid but effective way I came up with to delete the data in files …
