When I was a child, I read a good book, called “(An Usborne Introduction) Electronics”. Might be worth having a read.

Just logged in, to add another recommendation for this book. There are errors, but they’re not that hard to spot, if one’s paying attention, when reading. Definitely read this, bef…

There are many good reasons for leaving the EU. The fact is, the remain side are not remotely interested in knowing the whys, and wherefores, of the leave side. It’s plainly eviden…

Sorry, I completely disagree with practically everything you wrote above. There’s nothing complicated, oblique, or arcane, about short options - if one is versed in Unix. Usually, …

You need to shovel in "unit testing" somehow.

Why not just include libudev, in systemd instead?

> Not sure why you're saying that -- moving it to a library is basically what happened. The libudev code got moved to libsystemd, and now libudev is a wrapper around that. Oh, so n…

That's what code libraries were intended for.

No, credit card is fine. I did raise an issue via Twitter, at the launch of the Pinebook Pro, but no response.

I go through several "suckless" type IRC clients - currently my own patched version of: https://c9x.me/irc/ - which is nice and simple.

You're right. The linked page, is just Chapter 2 of Starting Forth.
