This has NOTHING to do with binary vs shell scripting and you're a completely uneducated newb to coding if you think it is.
BASH itself is a binary and it is the problem -- your argument is ridiculous.
At no point are you not in control of the environment variables in question; unless you're allowing unsanitized input of course.
I've forbidden shell interactions from web servers forever on my client systems and I'm always in shock that online control panel systems allow direct shell access to the system. It just seems obviously wrong.
Aside from someone else already pointing out that you want to use different tools, that's exactly my point -- their minimal install is truly minimal -- there's no need to roll your own at all.
My basic install procedure is a CentOS minimal with a quick shell script that installs the packages and configs I need on top of that on a per-client basis.
If you're putting together your own optimized small footprint installs, you're not a sysadmin anymore, you're a distro maker. I spend way too much time actually administering working machines to be bothered to do someone else's job as well.
CentOS does a fantastic job of maintaining their minimal install for me (and anyone else who wishes to use it), what possible advantage is there to me putting together something else (not to mention learning a new filesystem and config layout for no reason).
As a frequent user of the CentOS-6.5-x86_64-minimal.iso install image, I can see that its still not *as* thin as the author describes but none of the unnecessary bits are included and its super-easy to customize.
I'm surprised the author seems unaware of companies like Sony who manufacture far more devices than Apple does and has been doing so for far longer. I'll take an Xperia over an iPhone any day.
Its an IDE that has been around for quite a while. Googling 'what is kdevelop' I got:
KDevelop is a free software integrated development environment (IDE) for the KDE Platform on Unix-like computer operating systems. KDevelop includes no compiler; instead, it uses an external compiler such as GCC to produce executable code.
How is first or third person relevant to its MMO status?
Have you watched the game played on PS4? The graphics are quite impressive. The framerate is smoother, which would be nice, but not enough to do a PC upgrade and force myself to run Windows.
cf. https://www.youtube.com/watch?... for a graphics comparison
One concern about drones would be when perverts use them. Like hooking a camera on it and viewing people over their fence. Stuff like that.
Don't you have guns for that?
Warframe for PC and PS4 is a much better semi-mmo shooter (although I most frequently play with just a sword) than Destiny. The updates are good, the new missions are interesting and the challenge is high. Its also free to play.
Why would a company train you to learn a language you should be able to pick up on the job if you can program well enough in similar languages?
That's like expecting GM to teach you how to use a wrench.
Its a cryptographic hash function that uses encryption algorithms to generate (what used to be) secure hashes.
There are some pretty terrible hash functions that are not crypto (like parity bits) but SHA is crypto.
Print your cert with a QR code on a single sheet of correspondance. Its not hard, and it would be easy to disseminate.
I've twice taken random trips and had a phone call waiting for me when I get home from my CC company asking if I'm the one who made the random purchases in question because they don't match my normal profile and they want to prevent fraud.
I also only use chip&pin or NFC for payments (also Canadian).
