I should hope it would be, because those antennas don’t fit in my rack and wouldn’t be appropriate even if they did (because I have separate WAPs distributed across the house via PoE).

IMO Jupyter notebooks are a good example to look into first, if you want something more contemporary and somewhat widely-used than “tangle and weave.”

I like the way you presented the ctrl-c blog post as sort of introductory to the tonsky.me one. The second one is much more useful in terms of exploring the details and making specific recommendations, but the first one does a good job of motivating why I should care.

Also, it’s funny how both authors are kinda beating around the edges of literate programming e.g. in their discussion of code comments being one of the things worth highlighting, without ever quite getting there.

It’s a joke (and a bit of a dig on javadoc-esque documentation).

Just because it’s unencumbered by licensing issues unfortunately doesn’t guarantee open designs

Permissive vs. copyleft strikes again!

As more variety of hardware gets released, sooner or later Valve is going to need a “compatible with SteamOS” test that has little or nothing to do with hardware specs and will basically be equivalent to a generic “this game works in [at least one distro of] Linux” statement. I look forward to that.

See, this shit is why insisting on “GNU/Linux” is actually important. It’s the copyleft and the end user freedom it provides that matters, not the kernel.

Sabotaged Linuxes like Android just don’t cut it and shouldn’t count.

More and more I’m thinking we really need a wealth tax. Not because the government needs the money - the government literally makes their own money, they can create as much of it as they want - but because I think a cap on wealth is necessary for social cohesion.

This is literally what the inheritance tax is for, so there’s precedent.

Of course, they piss and moan about that too, but I don’t give a shit and neither should anyone else.

Those are called “laws.” We need to create appropriate “laws” and force corporations to follow them.

Weird concept, I know…

It’s such a shame that you can’t customize the version of zsh running on your Linux-based embedded device because it’s DRM’d to prevent the modified version from being installed.

…oh wait, that’s not sarcasm because it’s actually plausible.

Welp, I guess that outs me as a not-gay; I didn’t even think about those.

It’s permissively-licensed (as opposed to bash, which is GPLv3). Pushing zsh over bash is part of a larger effort by corporations to marginalize copyleft so they can more easily exploit Free Software at the users’ expense. Don’t fall for it!

Bash is copyleft (GPLv3). Zsh is permissively-licensed.

Apple, for instance, switched from bash to zsh when the GPL version upgraded because they wanted to withhold those rights from their users.

Zsh should be considered harmful as a tool of corporate encroachment and subjugation of Free Software.

Are there any historically-accurate depictions of Mary Magdelene? That’d give us the answer.

Alternatively, if we go by the theory that he was gay for John the Apostle, that gives us an answer too. (I assume John didn’t have boobs.)

Come for the memes, stay for the very good relationship advice.

Regular Costco stuff isn’t that much in bulk. To get serious, you gotta go to the Costco Business Center.
