The “Page 56” meme:
- Grab the book nearest to you. Right now.
- Turn to page 56
- Find the 5th sentence
- Post that sentence along with these instructions.
- Don’t dig for your favorite book, the coolest, the most intellectual. Use the closest.
- Tag your friends, lather, rinse, repeat.
The closest book to me is Principles of Personal Defense by Jeff Cooper. Page 56 is blank, so I’ll use what’s on page 57.
Self-control is one thing the sociopath does not usually possess.
Learning and using asynchronous I/O is a must.
The Art of Unix Programming by Eric S Raymond … you said to use the closest and it was arm level from my chair on my closest bookshelf.
Well, I’d have to agree with ESR on that. Threads are useful too. 🙂
