What I like about this though is it's easy to forget the basic options of a command you haven't used in several months. Having the most common use cases at the top of the man page would save a lot of time than digging through some textbook.
My terminal displays it just fine, so it must be in at least one of the bitmap monospace fonts that I have configured it with.
Sure, but what usually happens is you sit down at a Unix command line for the first time and have no idea what to do. You ask someone (after seeing that `help` does nothing useful), and they tell you "use 'man' instead of 'help'". And you have no idea why, but you try it and it kind of helps and is better than nothing. You don't have any idea you should `read one of the many "Getting Started" or "Quick Guide" or "Beginning XXX" books.` (Likewise, you wouldn't know at first to install something like this, either.)
Haha for me it's the opposite. Caffeine cures my migraine the same way rizatriptan does. They are both vasoconstrictors and help reduce my throbbing migraine.
There is still real cost to using FOSS software.

Training employees.

Maintaining the environment by addressing bugs.

Securing the environment.

Plus compatibility with proprietary formats isn’t 100%.

I’d still choose FOSS for many kinds of environments but it’s not free.
Or they could just fix the bug, and show they give a damn.
I don’t recommend lag compensation. It’s a bad idea because it degrades the experiences of more-committed / better players in order to cater to the less-committed / worse players.
I think this kind of information is funded by the caffeine industry. This is pure insanity. It took me a month to quick coffee (IT professional here) and to stop hating my life. Another 5 months to finally get completely over it where I didn't feel like I was dragging every day.

Now, I am free from coffee addiction and happy as I have ever been. No way in hell is that stuff good for you.

I'm going to go out on a limb here and state a theory I've been considering for a while that could explain these coffee health benefit results...

The liquids I and everyone else consumes can be placed in two classes: pure water and everything else.

When I'm not drinking pure water, my drink of choice is usually coffee, of which I drink about 3 cups a day.

Now let's think of the alternative non water drinks out there... Many of them are sodas which have obscenely high sugar levels, just like most drinks that aren't pure water.

Someone who doesn't drink coffee may have more of these sugar containing drinks when they're not drinking pure water, inundating their bodies with harmful amounts of sugar.

So the benefits we see from high levels of coffee consumption come not from the coffee itself but from a substitution effect of replacing unhealthy sugary drinks with coffee.

A good test for this would be to see if tea drinkers also experience health benefits similar to those seen in the study. If not then that may indicate that my theory is wrong.
I developed a stomach condition in 2014 that prevented me from eating fried foods, caffeine, alcohol and red meat.

It took almost a year before my cravings went away but after I never felt so good.
Man pages feel like RFCs for tools. They have a lot of information about how to use them but they're sometimes pretty difficult to parse. I'm really excited about this project. Whenever I don't know how to use a tool I look at a StackOverflow answer for an example. I've been doing this for as long as I can remember. I'm glad there is a dedicated service for this now.
Then take it as an opportunity to patiently explain the issue to them. Perhaps they do not realize they are working for the Dark Side. And perhaps your explanation will enable them to understand similar calls from other customers.

> I don't think a business is incompatible with the idea of "doing good" at all

I totally agree -- I work for a business like this right now, but the business is 100% owned by the cofounders. Toms or Patagonia or any other number of examples abound.

The difference between us and Etsy though is Etsy was losing millions of dollars, and took on VC, and continued losing millions. I wouldn't say the investors were "were more interested in profit than doing good," except incidentally. They were/are interested in keeping the ship moving; no entity, not even a charity or non-profit, can run in the red quarter after quarter and still continue to exist. This isn't profit or no profit, this is surviving or folding. Would it be better for the world if Etsy weren't around at all? I don't think so, but I'm pragmatic like that.

I think thats an important point. As someone on the back end of a career in software I look back at all the projects I was proud of and thought I crafted well, and in the end they turned out just like all the other large unmaintainable swamps that everyone complains about.

Not completely clear about this, but the industry seems structured in such a way that (most) everything ends up being a horrifying mess of hacks over time. For any codebase, you can see it fall over the cliff. Poorly chosen compromises are made. People lose track of whats going on. A simple joy with boundless possibilities turns into a pointless daily slog. A rewrite would be too expensive and risky. An incremental refactoring too unjustifiable. The passionate people leave, and the interns are left running the asylum, hating every minute.

I don't know what the answer is, but no one seems to want greenfield development anymore, probably for good reason. The prospect of picking up someone else rotten excreta is pretty unappealing.

So yes, I think its salient to point out that that terrible bloated CMS you're stuck trying to mush into shape was once someones bright and shining future.

That's just a classic middlebrow dismissal comment.

This solution exists. Yours doesn't. This solution is also far more reasonable than yours. Your solution is to somehow land a manpage patch into every project while this is a single project that can be fleshed out by a single sufficiently motivated person.

Me: I'm writing off this article if it doesn't mention 'Arrival'.

Liu told me that first contact would lead to a human conflict, if not a world war. This is a popular trope in science fiction. In last year’s Oscar-nominated film Arrival, the sudden appearance of an extraterrestrial intelligence inspires the formation of apocalyptic cults and nearly triggers a war between world powers anxious to gain an edge in the race to understand the alien’s messages.

Ahh, there we go. Thank you.

Long article. I didn't read all of it, but the parts I skimmed were good. I had no idea that China had its own answer to Arecibo.

EDIT: not sure why this is getting downvoted. The title of the post is literally one of the biggest plot points of Arrival. It would have been somewhat tone-deaf to popular culture had the article come out with this title and not mentioned Arrival. And sure enough it did. That was my only point. I wouldn't have made this comment if the post were titled "China's Answer To Arecibo".
Just like milk, there is probably a sub population of people whose body chemistry is not compatible with caffeine or coffee. You may fall into that category.
The meat of the project is a crowdsourced database of examples for each program. So naturally there can be multiple clients for that database implemented in various ways. That doesn't seem too complicated. You choose and install one of them. Kind of like how POSIX systems have dozens of pagers, text editors, etc. to choose from.

It also seems way less crazy to crowdsource good examples than get each individual program's maintainer to add examples to the official man page (which could take decades to actually get onto people's systems, if they're even accepted), and then still require people to scroll down to the examples section.

The Sex Robots Are Coming: seedy, sordid – but mainly just sad
For those who want a longer read, the LWN article earlier this month was fantastic

https://lwn.net/Articles/737818/
So the article touched on this briefly but I think it's a point worth exploring: a big problem with many sources of caffeine is also that sugar confuses the issue. Many people have an excessive amount of sugar with their coffee (personally I find coffee revolting and 4+ sugars is the only way I could cope if I were forced to drink it).

Other caffeinated drinks (eg sodas) are either sweetened (sugar or HFCS or have artificial sweeteners.

So about a month ago I decided I was drinking too much caffeine. I'm talking 600-700mg a day. I should also point out that my variance with and without caffeine is pretty low. In college for example I tried once to take caffeine pills to stay awake to cram. Not sure how much I took but it was enough that my hands were shaking. I still fell asleep just fine. Some people really do seem a whole lot more sensitive to this than I am.

Anyway, my reason wasn't coffee in particular but sugar. For years I've drunk artificial sweetener sodas and ignoring any other possible side effects I think the big problem is that they still taste sweet so it seems like they still feed the craving loop for sugar without containing any sugar.

It's early days yet but I think I can already notice some difference. Like I had ice cream tonight that I've had many times before and it tasted too sweet.

Anyway I think it's impossible to talk about caffeine consumption without also considering sugar consumption because they really do go hand in hand.

Caffeine is a stimulant and seems like it can be used to enhance some activities including athletic ones [1].

If you IPO, you have no choice but to achieve and increase Internet scale. Your share price will suffer if you don't because when you IPO, your investors matter more than your other stakeholders. If you don't want to be a slave to an insatiable hunger for growth by investors, don't IPO. For that matter, don't get investors who expect an exit either. Yeah, you miss out on the big get rich exit, but at least you get to stay true to your original values. Be content to stay a larger than usual lifestyle business. Can't have your cake and eat it too.

I'm all for FLOSS solutions and love Linux and many of the things that are freely available to us. I wouldn't trade Linux for Windows for any sort of development work.

However, I'll be the first to admit that MS Office simply blows Libre Office out of the water. I'm very good with Excel and Calc, but I'm many times slower with Calc. The hotkeys, variety of equations, and simple features simply aren't available in Calc. I know that if I'm say 3x slower, the cost associated with that across a year and across a team is going to outweigh the MS subscription.

There is nothing wrong with ceding the crown to the better product.
Ah, i see. I misunderstood your argument. I thought you meant something like "an average person want to pick up some uber shifts. they already have the car, so the expense can't be that much." I'd assumed an average person would have an average car, and thus average cpm.

you mean (i think) someone needs a car for whatever reason. They specifically select a car they can use with uber, maximum mpg, least maintenance, and used. That might work. i'm still (very) skeptical of the $0.20/mi cost. But i could see you might be able to get that quoted $0.37 down to $0.32 or if you're really lucky, $0.30
> China had its own answer to Arecibo

Thank god, because we are treating ours like shit.
why is china so frightening to the west as a representative of humankind?

they are imperfect, sure-- their abysmal human rights record will soon be matched by a collapsing xenophobic West.

but they are evidence that humanity can produce contiguous government without overt destruction of rivals even when capable of doing so. they are evidence that humanity can persist in peaceful trade with other civilizations, even if troubled internally.

china is no leader of "the free world" to be sure, but they are far from irresponsible recipients of first contact.... they have no interest in humankind's eradication, and they likely have plans for contact in the exceedingly unlikely chance that it occurs.
I would definitely buy there if I found myself there directly from an artist/crafter, like if I first saw something in person at a fair. I have nothing against the site. But most mass produced items I would rather just get from Amazon or go to a brick and mortar to see in person, if possible. When I said "I have no intention of shopping there again," I guess I really meant "I have no intent to go browsing for items there again, like I used to."
Another neat way IMO is to provide a Makefile with a clean target.
Because ISPs, faced with a lack of direct network power, simply refuse to turn up physical interconnects, a power they decidedly still have.
It breaks the site guidelines to insinuate astroturfing or shillage unless you have specific evidence, so would you please not do that?

Such things no doubt exist, but internet users are overwhelmingly more likely to just invoke them ex nihilo when someone happens to post a view they don't like. This is toxic to discussion, so we don't allow it.

Etsy did things way too well. An online crafts market should not have a well-known engineering team and blog -- they should be running a patchwork of shitty technology that crashes every month because they only hired one guy to run the website and they hired one too cheap. They simply way overshot the MVP for no business value. Then they had to scale up the business into factory-made crap to pay for the hugely scalable platform they had built.
This wasn’t always true, when software was less replaceable and felt more valuable. Part of this cake from the fact that software distribution was more difficult. If you ever have purchased a compiler for example you might find yourself interested in everything you can learn about it from the manual.

Now developers are trigger-happy Googlers looking for the single salient example atop StackOverflow answers.

I have no idea how people are able to say this with a straight face. The case was heard in a court of law and the Gawker witnesses behaved so incredibly badly during testimony (https://www.nytimes.com/2016/03/10/business/media/gawker-edi...) that the judge and jury actually awarded damages that were more than the plaintiff asked for. Now that's impressive, albeit in all the wrong ways.

Whatever Thiel's sins are, helping Bollea bring the Gawker Group to justice isn't one of them.
But for people in general, just because they drink coffee doesn't mean they cannot also drink beverages with high sugar content or am I not getting your thought right?

Interesting quote from LIL's designer on the Wikipedia page (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Little_Implementation_Language).

`LIL is, however, a failure. Its stiffest competition at Bell Labs is the language C, which is higher level, and machine independent. Every time it looked like C was too expensive to use for a particular project, LIL was considered. But almost every time, it proved easier (and more rewarding) to improve C, or its runtime support, or the hardware, than to invest time in yet another language. ... A machine independent language is always superior -- even for writing machine dependent code (it's easier to find trained programmers) -- so long as the overhead can be endured. It is clear now that writing straightforward code and then measuring it is the formula for the best end product. At worst there will be 5-15 per cent overhead, which is seldom critical. Once system writers become mature enough to recognize this basic truth, they gravitate naturally toward machine independent SILs. ... it looks like the little implementation language is an idea whose time as come -- and gone.`
When people think of manpages, they tend to think of Linux. At least that's what I thought of, until a few months ago when I discovered OpenBSD. Their manual is concise and coherent, unlike the rambling hodgepodge on Linux.

Of course it's always nice to have a bunch of curated examples like TLDR or "bro" pages, but just wanted to point out that the manpage situation isn't universally grim.

Everything you just said is exactly what I used to love about Etsy. And I'm sure that there is still some amount of love to be had for it, for those reasons. But finding the kinds of items you just described is exactly the problem. Sure, if there is something really specific I want, I would consider checking Etsy first and if I found a locally crafted item, I'd be a happy camper. But I used to love browsing it, and the browsing experience is ruined or at least heavily degraded (depending on the category) thanks to all the mass produced items.
Or, more likely, somewhere in the entire operation of a computer there exists a task or two in which we don't care to specialize.

Maybe you're sensitive to caffeine, or coffee itself. I've tried going off coffee and feel about the same after a few weeks of normalizing.

Another anecdote: having even a little bourbon makes me feel completely terrible, however I feel fine after drinking any other spirit. It's just my bodies adverse reaction to some chemical component. Perhaps similar with you and coffee.
