Sounds a bit like the First System from Gancarz’s The Unix Philosophy.

No, but the only two people that I personally know who voted for Brexit, my partner’s parents, were both retired. They did it as a protest because they never thought that it would pass.

They immediately regretted it once my partner explained how it would fuck up her/our future.

They have subsequently both died.

Nigerian Prince scam 101. Just send another payment to cover disbursement costs and the money will be with you real soon now.

Some brass neck coming from the Daily Mail who championed Andrew Wakefield.

It’s bizarre that one needs to do all this via a keyboard/monitor interface.

Nearly thirty years ago when I used to work on Silicon Graphics kit everything from powering on and off a server to installing the OS from scratch over the network could be done out of band via serial - and automatically, using expect(1)

That’s progress, I guess.

The college graduation version of the company owner speaking to an employee:

“You see that Ferrari out there on the parking lot? If you work really, really hard this year and meet all of your targets, then next year I’ll be able to afford another one.”

I guess that “well” wouldn’t have sold many books.

Reminds me of the quote in the original Westworld movie:

“ These are highly complicated pieces of equipment… almost as complicated as living organisms.

In some cases, they’ve been designed by other computers.

We don’t know exactly how they work.”

Now how did that work out ;-)

I don’t think that the good guy/bad guy reputation referred to is solely about firing a couple thousand people.

I must have missed the bit where Steve Jobs was trying to create “legion” of his offspring, supported far-right parties in Europe and tried to foment civil war in the UK.

Guess I’ll have to buy the book

Not implementation.

Hey! The president eats BigMacs dontcha know!

Admittedly that’s because he’s an overgrown child, but what the hey.

Kids vape now anyway, so it’s a vanishingly small proportion of people, who would be able to get their fix anyway via a far less harmful source.

It’s a foul product that belongs in the past.

Zip is a piece of cake.

I had need to embed noVNC into an app recently in Golang. Serving files via net/http from the zip file is practically a one-liner (then just a Gorilla websocket to take the place of websockify).

“an excursion” is even more mad. He heard the word “incursion” and thought that it sounded cool if he posted it
