This is an excellent read for any of you operating system nerds out there. The author compares the architectures of both Windows NT and Unix.

I installed Fedora on my PC to try out as my daily driver. I loved the experience except for a few irritations that eventually got me back to using Windows.

I don’t like clutter. In fact, I am very picky about what I install on my computer which is one reason I love virtual machines to experiment with new technologies.

While adding a linter to an old project, I wrote the following bash script to convert 4-space indentations to 2-space indentations.
