Correct. any nuclear power plant would take forever to build, and be to late to help. Meanwhile electric cars are here *now*, and solar + wind + batteries are not only much faster to implement, but also cheaper. Nuclear is to little, to late.

Ascii art porn was easy. It was a drag to download a image, because those files were so big. Downloading a .mp3 file was frought with danger, because those file were a whopping 2mb or more in size. You could never know if you actually managed to download these files. Also: BBS'es had limited capacity in the number of connections. You had to be really econmical in what files you wanted to download. I've had so many files wich i had almost downloadeded, just for the connection to die. It was a pain.

On windows it is still my go-to filemanager (although double commander does the same)

vi(m), sc (the spreatsheet), awk, Perl (for quick oneliners), mutt, grep, tcpdump

Because it can already export to CSV/TSV and exporting to json has no direct added value?

Note that Excel and Google Sheet can also not export to sc (spreadsheet calculator), to DuckDB, etc. Just because something is possible, does not mean it therefore must exist.

s/MySQL/MariaDB/

* It works out of the box, and continues to work with no (or only minimal) tuning (no vacuum, etc)

* Scaling up through replication is straightforward

* Every techstack supports MySQL/MariaDB

In short: Good enough, No drama.

In my experience developers prefer PostgreSQL, while SysOps / DevOps / SRE's prefer MariaDB.

I always disliked that saying, because i'm never in it for the money. Money often follows, through paths I could not imagine when starting the adventure, but it was never the goal.

Following your interests and going on weird adventures/side-tracks outside your comfort-zone won't make you very rich, but you'll always have enough, and a life that is fun.

It helps if you don't care to much about collecting useless stuff: Travel light!

"Trust, but verify"

Used mostly in bookkeeping and nucleair monitoring, but very usefull outside it as well.

Don't take life too seriously. You'll never get out of it alive anyway.

In other words: relax, experiment, take a change on new or weird things, and don;t believe that the thing you're working on right now is super-duper important in the big scheme of things. Consider the size of the Universe (Douglas Adam's style), and remember that any change you make (even if traveling at the speed of light), will still be insignificant for the universe. Use this information not to paralyse you, but gain a sense of unlimited freedom.

You are free.

Not low latency, but onion-adresses/services are actually ideal for this. You only need to know the onion adress, to know that you connect to the correct node.

* encrypted * automatic NAT punching * complete location independence * use 0MQ with tor as transport if you want a queue on top .

Or if it has to be fast and low latency: 0MQ with eliptic curve encryption.

A ABI is the low-level implementation of any programming interface, no matter if it uses interrupts (0x80), sysenter, or long jump to code that the OS put there, etc, etc..

It is the nuts and bolts that do the low level real work of implementing a call / interface.

ABI is what you use when a Papa process and a Mama kernel love each other very much.
