Developing new vaccines is expensive, and if the target population is mostly in poor countries, there's nobody to foot the bill. That's why these diseases are called "neglected".…

There is a crazy guy in our neighborhood, not unlike the one in the story. He would walk around the streets all day, yelling, and swinging fists exactly when someone passes by him. People from the neighborhood know him,…

Articles like this one are more likely to drive people away from make(1) than teach them to appreciate it. This Makefile is anything but simple. It uses advanced features that are meant for complicated situations, just…
A couple of Java programmers from my first job were stopped by police while drinking in a park. When asked what they do for a living, they said they were programmers. Then the police officer went: – Oh, I see. HTML.
