Unix tools are very powerful, but they are not as intuitive as I would like. It would be nice if we can have an httpie for process management, one for text manipulation, another for system stats, and so on.


Powerful tools are rarely instinctive. Quite often, one person's obvious is another's opaque.


I still hold that grief. If not for SC2, we could still be watching another Flash vs Jaedong today. So SC2 basically killed a source of entertainment for me.


> Seems Larry decided he knew better.

Apparently he did. In the same biography, Isaacson wrote that "asking for advice to run a company" was just a clever way for Larry to visit Jobs in peace, playing to his ego, so to speak, as Jobs still held a grudge against Android.

Google is a very different company from Apple anyway. At Apple, innovation runs top-down, from the likes of Jobs and Ive to Foxconn workers. At Google, innovation runs bottom-up.


Very often articles of this nature end up being either too abstract and too vague or too detailed and I would lose focus midway. This is very finely written.


I like advantages (1) and (3). I have a bad feeling about (2), however. And there is one immediate disadvantage I can think of: the required comments for down-voting would dilute the average karma, which is important for some people.

One solution is to treat comments that explain down-votes differently than normal comments. That would complicate the system a bit but maybe it will be worth it.


Huge opening theory and high draw rate are primarily the reasons why I switched to another mind game called Gomoku. Gomoku, when played at a high level, requires as much depth as Chess. Go is a also good choice but I find Gomoku much easier to keep in my life.


I am still patiently waiting for a more up-to-date of Okasaki's classic with examples written in Haskell.


The original had all examples written in Haskell, albeit in an appendix.


Seeing how down-voted you are makes me scared of the US work environment. Looks like the only way to avoid any potential trouble is to act like a robot not just at work but also at company outings.


I may as well throw in my implementation in Go here: https://github.com/seri/goalgo/blob/master/st/llrb.go

LLRB definitely isn't as sweet as advertised, but saying it's a scam is a bit too much.


Thank you for this. Got me really interested in folly now.
