If you are manipulating files and processes, bash is a very natural and succint language to do so. Programs are much more elegant than a generic programming language.

> Putting it out there as an idea, might inspire others and might help.

Yeah I agree, maybe it's broscience but maybe it will spark something interesting and to me that's worth trying and sharing.

That said, to be honest I didn't read past the abstract as I don't have the time but cool idea :)

> (dev surveys show Linux being far more popular though).

Hmm, this is hard to believe. It might be a selection bias, maybe Linux users are just more likely to answer these developer surveys, no?

Probably just benzodiazepines labeled "LSD off switch" to make money off the increasing interest in psychedelics.

I saw the same thing a while ago and deleted it. I got my first job in a different country easily without LinkedIn. I see no value in LinkedIn for job hunting, many of the ads are just links to different job boards or application forms that I have to fill out or upload my CV to anyway.

Ironically I created a LinkedIn again after starting this job, I think mostly to flex on my exciting new job and measuring myself against my peers from college, while some small part of me also thought it could be important for networking. If you really want to keep in touch with peers from college you will find a better and much more genuine way of doing so. If you want to network maybe it can be a useful tool but I'm not sure stroking each other's ego is the best way to do that.

Once again I was coming to the conclusion that it's a useless and pointless platform (like most social networks, but that's another topic). My feed right now is nothing but cringe memes, humblebrags, and weird flexing. Thanks for bringing this to my attention, I think I will delete it for real this time.

Very ambiguous question indeed for a community called "Hacker News" that targets a wide range of topics in technology and science, any of which can easily be considered "hacking".

Most people intentionally stream movies illegally. The moral aspect of breaking the law is not a very strong argument here.

I think the bigger moral issue with buying street drugs is that you are essentially funding organized crime.
