The Asian Bistro near my hotel serves meals compatible with most unix-like operating systems.

#POSIX #linux #FreeBSD

I'm not saying you should all go out and set up aliases to enable your various typos and slip-ups, but I honestly don't know why I didn't do this 25 years ago.

#bash #UNIX #Shell #UnixShell #POSIX

Grrr…
the #POSIX signal API is such a b0rked clusterfuck

The people who came up with this half baked mess are responsible for thousands (if not millions) of years of human suffering.

It could have been so simple: When registering a handler, also pass a user pointer, and handlers are registered in a list and can be removed from the list at any time.

But noooo… let's make it an API where some n-th degree dependency can completely fuck up signal handling for the whole process.
