I highly recommend Ben Eater's YouTube channel; great video tutorials. He manages to cover a lot in short videos. (Also, consider supporting him on Patreon :)

The awesome lists project is interesting as well, but it lacks some sort of ordering.

Definitely. What I was looking for was a quick way to see what tools are trending in given niches. Stackshare achieves that.

This is also great, thanks for sharing. Very informative without being overwhelming.

Thanks for sharing!

Thanks for sharing, that list of lists is great.

Great initiative, Mr. W. Please keep us posted on it.

By the way, I inquired him on this a few months back and the answer was: "I don't know enough certificates to think about the question. I leave that issue to others." and then, after I tried to explain a bit about it and the licenses in use, "I don't know enough about certificates to take any position about them."

Not directly related, but Stallman should be supporting/using LetsEncrypt instead of COMODO...

Does anyone have anything to say about system76.com?

Hey, I was looking at system76.com. They seem to have some cool machines and their price is good. I will look into thinkpads; they seem to be programmers common choice.

Hey,

The manpages for lua(4) and luactl(8) may be of help.

lua(4) is the device driver which allows you manage Lua states in the kernel through an ioctl interface. With luactl(8) you can create and destroy states, load and execute scripts, and require modules.

Example:

1. Load lua(4) driver modload lua 2. Create a Lua state in the kernel luactl create s0 3. Load and execute a script named hello.lua luactl load s0 ./hello.lua 4. dmesg

A Lua state is created empty. In order to load the standard libs (base, string, table, ...) into that state you'd need to do a luaL_openlibs(). Even though the libs are compiled into lua(4), you can't easily load them with luactl. [1] is a patch that adds a 'openlibs' command to luactl. After you apply it and recompile luactl, you can do that:

luactl openlibs s0

Btw, we've ported Lua test suite to the NetBSD kernel in this year's GSoC. Part of the work was on porting parts of the standard libraries which were not available in kernel Lua (e.g., os, io, math). Take a look at [2].

Let me know if you need any help. My email address is my HN username at gmail.com

Thanks for making the book available in EPUB and AZW3!

I had been using Debian-based distros since 2010 -- Debian itself and the Ubuntu. Switched to Arch a few weeks ago and it's been a quite nice experience. While installing, I wrote a brief installation outline (based off of Arch Wiki); if someone is interested, it's available at [1].
