    Pretty sure EMACS beat Kubernetes to the punch. This Helm, too, is pretty old now. Complaining about names is ridiculous. There are only so many names to go around, and there's alm…

    Have you considered just getting him a gaming console? If he's got the degree, he's prepared enough. After he gets a job, you'll be in a position where he won't really be practical…

    A very basic IRC client can be made literally with pretty much ten lines, netcat, head, echo, cat and a named pipe. It's not bollocks. IRC is super easy to develop for. Even doing …
