Write a Shell in C 5 years ago

Hello. great article! I remember making one back in Uni. We implemented an LL parser it was fun. IT really starts to get tricky when you implement Pipes/Redirections and the parenthesis () operators. have fun hacking

We need cars to go electric, etc.

Marketing is once again far from the truth, check how co2 expensive producing a battery is. Then couple that with the fact that you need let's say 20 years of normal use of a car to "paybacck" that co2 footprint (comparing to an oil car).

Last one is : are you going to keep that same electric car for 20 years?

It kind of depends, not every task are the same. you won't review a trivial change the same way as a brand new feature.

Let's take for instance the fictional case of adding a list of website to a whitelist.txt. Maybe the source file had thousands of websites to be added. Anyone could add or remove some in the middle and no one would ever know

It looks good when you review it. but there is no way to check the data integrity (at review time), you can only rely on the good faith of your coworkers.

I am not saying that's what happened but this is a good example of how anyone could sneak-in arbitrary code that pass the code review.

there is a big lack of information in theses poor written 20 lines, and probably misleading on purpose.

- Are theses low-wage jobs only considering full time jobs? - What about student jobs? - If some people have multiple part-time jobs but all of them individually fall under the median annual wages of $18,000, then they are increasing the statistics

French here, I second this. - Jacques Chirac had an affair - Francois Holland also had one (quite funny he would sneak out on a motorbike to visit his mistress) - There is growing rumours on Emmanuel Macron being secretly Gay and being married to Brigitte is a cover

On a side note, someone personal life choices has no impact on their work as politicians so that kind of "scandal" are not that big of a deal in France. It only increase the sales of gossip magazines.

Americans' fear of losing their jobs

Unemployment rate in the US is only 3.7% (July 2019) Employee fears that they are replaceable and the truth is that most of them are. So they are working hard, they perform, they are productive and economy is better than it has ever been!

I am french and where I worked it is nearly impossible to fire a long-term contract employes (CDI). Most of them do less than the bare minimum at work. Then entire company is taking a hit.

So IMO the fear to loose their job is a great boost!
