Obligatory

1. Donald Knuth called, he wants his joke back.

2. Kernel versions are integer vectors. You may have noticed, after 3.8 and 3.9 we didn't have 4.0, but 3.10, which is "greater than" 3.1 despite the apparent decimal equality.

I'm currently doing my daily emerge (update \in Gentoo) on a Powerbook, so obviously my testicles are larger.

FTFY.

It makes sense when you watch it with Dutch subtitles, especially the part "I am your father".

Being a robot is great, but we don't have emotions, and sometimes that makes me sad. (B. B. Rodriguez)

It's rough, it's tough, and takes no shit.

I understand that may apply to Wayland or Mir, but not filesystems, unless you refer to XFS :D

Also, I understand that ZFS is not just a filesystem, as it also covers the functionalities of volume management, kitchen sink, life, the universe, everything, and emacs. Btrfs is a filesystem in the unix philosophy (unless the name refers to 'butterflysystem', in which case it covers all aforementioned functionalities and then some).

..we wouldn't be depressed in the first place.

Especially knowing how Nvidia performs with OpenCL vs. their vendor specific solution...

Doesn't seem too convincing for a fast GPU. But I guess it will be great for mining Slothcoins.

In computing, "Win" has an unfortunate association with "loss", so the phrase "win-win" is ruined. This is why I always say "lin-lin" when referring to mutually profitable outcomes. Although in this case, depending on your measurements, it might also be lin-log or log-log (because everyone loves the log).

Cybernetics refers to control and feedback systems, which is traditionally an analogue discipline. Today "cyber", for whatever reasons, refers to doing things over teh intarwebz. So the problem is having old cyber connected to new cyber.

(BTW, "cyber" has something to do with "android" when you stay within either one of the "old" or "new" namespaces.)

0 is the identity element for addition. You can't really define the concept of "-1" without the concept of zero. Of course, it's also nice to have multiplication, with its identity element 1. Now you have some basics for building an algebra, and you can eventually construct fields like rational, real and complex numbers, and beyond.

e^{\pi i} + 1 = 0 includes all "fundamental" numbers without doing anything redundant like 1+0, so arguably it is more beautiful.

Sorry? I lost you at "concentrate".
