Did you forget who developed git? So in this case it's fine ;) But honestly, I also have a hard time finding a use case for this. The question I ask my self over and over again: why not mount an FTP share and point your…
Ha, what about history.stackexchange.com. IT History at its best...
I doubt it, probably I'll check at skeptics.stackexchange.com.
During this time I still went to school and half of my friends had self-build computers. The other half had computer from very small shops. And this was also a time when none-Linux Unixes were still still popular, so I…
If I didn't overlook something it only states something about hardware market shares. Which are much easier to measure than software market share. (Although even in the hw market shares there might be a significant…

Only one thing sucks more than pagination: a very long article, you accidentally scroll and forget which section you are reading. Pagination is better than no navigation, this is why Google Image Search is weird to…

Mirah? Anyone?
I remember myself creating cron jobs to free wasted /tmp space
Rare use case... I remember CD burning softwares and torrent clients asking for special temp directories to be used for that. Allowing every day applications to create GBs of tmp files would mean you would need to worry…
I think you mean Debian. I know lots of people who successfully installed Ubuntu that don't know what a boot sector is but are still happy with it. (After all most people use web apps anyway.)
Linux on the desktop suffered from weak developer and industry support. It was until some years ago, Linux sound system latency was as powerful as Windows 3.1's. Using proprietary drivers for X or even worse for the…
"While C itself is a relatively rigid language"
99th percentile of people who either don't care or are not able to care about privacy
I guess it's also a matter of taste. In any case, my taste is this: RESTful APIs usually represent CRUD operations, each of these letter can be beautifully mapped to request types: - CREATE -> POST - READ -> GET…
