I cannot work productively with Linux because there are no Linux alternatives to the following Windows tools (and the 'alternatives' people tell me about are a sad joke):

* AutoHotkey

* Voidtools Everything

* Agent Ransack

* Irfanview

> Do you know how much faster Vim was ? 4.3 seconds ! 4.3 I save every day ! All those months learning were totally worth it..

> We don't need Neuralink... We already have Vim.

This guy is so funny !


>If Google was really existing in service of its employees rather than its investors

But then it wouldn't make that kind of profit.


Why wouldn't it?


This is not a book for beginners.

The price per ticket was 9 Euro, but the cost for the taxpayers was billions. This ticket was pure subsidization.


It's not in print anymore. Your link is a used book.


The link I posted has both new and used copies for sale.


It's being advertised as new as in, "it's not not used"; not new as in, "it's not old".

The edition being sold is 39 years old.


"Being in print" or "new" a is not well-defined in this context. "Being in print" is only a metaphor, since the process of printing is typically completed when a copy of a book is sold (and makes not sense in the case of publishing-on-demand, where it would be equivalent to "is available"); and "new" can mean "in its original condition" or "recently published" (with some uncertainty what time span "recently" denotes).

A more precise criterion would be whether a book is still on its publisher's backlist. As far as "The UNIX Programming Environment" is concerned, the answer is positive. Its publisher Prentice Hall was aquired by Simon & Schuster and later sold to Pearson.[1] On Pearson's Web-site the book is still available.[2]

Depends on what you mean with 'career'. Brian Kernighan doesn't do this because he needs money, but because he would get bored otherwise.
