Hahahahahahaha. Cars have some of the worst designed human interfaces known to man. In fact, virtually no designer of products (physical or virtual) cares anymore for their UX. It's sad, but in the mad rush to produce more and more, we've forgotten how to improve what we already have.

I have paid for a LWN subscription for several years now for exactly that reason. The standard rate is $7/month, but you can also subscribe as a Starving Hacker for half price. LWN is a great source of Linux-related news and well-deserves your support.
On the topic of Linux Journal, I can remember many years ago when I bought a subscription of 100 issues for $100.

Thanks for posting this to Hacker News! Very interesting interview covering all aspects of the animal welfare movement. I'm passing on the link to my activist daughters and nieces.

Hadn't heard of AdNauseam before. Immediately installed it for my primary browser Firefox.

Thanks for posting this! I remember seeing Sun Ra with June Tyson and John Gilmore sometime in the 70s performing Space is the Place. Never knew there was a movie.
Re:Ask HN: What are some of the best written programming books?

In addition to those already mentioned:
- Stevens: Advanced Programming in the Unix Environment
and more recently,
- Kerrisk: The Linux Programming Interface.
Also, almost anything by Kernighan (with several different co-authors).
