Thank you. I did a lot of command line pipes and unix tools like sed and awk. It was fun

I will add a formal section of the book as well.

Ask HN: Interactive Online Book Publishing?

What would I use to publish a simple book? I have text files that I could use Markdown for formatting. Static generators are nice and I have used several. I want some of the text hidden normally and if the reader wants more info to click an icon to view the info below the section, also would like a search icon that would produce links to the sections where the word is found, like a grep almost....

Sure I agree too with the basic supply and demand.

Its: "disposable this and that". :)

Re:Ask HN: Why are we addicted to getting rich? on Friday February 09, 2018 @12:03AM (#16338011)
Excellent. I totally agree.

Indeed friend. I would love more people like this in mass. We need good friends and altruistic folk that think of others. I would love to be rich too and do the same as you say yet I highly dislike the entire flock of zebras who regulate who gets it and who doesnt. Hard work is important but Network is truly luck. I may have a library of ideas never implemented yet I am blocked by who I know and even if I go and find folk I am blocked by their perception of me. Its certainly interesting to see US as the land of opportunity.

I wish I could learn Computer Science like Neo in The Matrix. ;) I would love to have such a brain to accomplish a year salary in 3 mo

If we believe history then I could agree yet my perspective is also ancient but it doesnt show man as an evolving creature who begins on Earth as a dumb hunter and gatherer moving along into the future developing an advanced brain. So our world force feeds us information based on fallacy of our ancestors to continue making the powerful and rich full in their poppycock. Make sense? Like another fellow said, we want to rule over people. So where we are today as we can analyze world situations doesnt seem we are very advanced.

Most people need something to do. Idleness just degrades existence and accelerates dis-ease. A simple mind is a key skill to survive our current situation filled with so much conflict.

Freedom of choice to pursue passions without anxiety but to not be lazy, wasteful and banal.

Yes the basic premise of our condition: the desire to rule over nature.
Science said "Too much protein, i.e 1g/lb of body weight, was bad for your kidneys". That's what I meant by against science.

When a founder/CEO can save [1]$45 billion USD into a tax haven LLC, I think thats big enough. Step down and let another innovator get rich.

Re:Lift Weights, Eat More Protein, Especially If You’re Over 40 on Wednesday February 07, 2018 @06:09PM (#16328816)
The benefits of protein are historically documented by all the great bodybuilders. Nothing new here. Mainstream is always behind the freaks who dare to go against "science".
Re:Ask HN: Which Linux distribution do you use, and why? on Wednesday February 07, 2018 @02:56PM (#16327488)
Debian without systemd: On an older Pentium4, just for web browsing although I just replaced it with OpenBSD. Its a great distro because of its age, stability and ease of use.

Gentoo OpenRC: On amd64 laptops for learning how to build software.

I've installed and configured 80% of distros on Distrowatch.com. Its all the same pretty much. Linux from Scratch was a good experience as well. Recommended for anyone interested in the deeper reasons of a distro.

Re:Ask HN: Whats your digest/newsfeed like? What do you read? on Wednesday January 31, 2018 @09:12PM (#16279242)
I read HN exclusively. Sometime the gist is in comments and sometimes I check the submission. I research anything of interest and new stuff I have a no clue about.

Edit)

PS: Unfortunately I have no one to share anything I find. 0 peers nor friends

I suggest you view your site on a mobile device then adjust some things. Very nice app. Great work. :)

Re:Void Linux on Monday August 28, 2017 @11:27AM (#15117169)
Well I just switched from ArtixLinux (arch-openrc) to Void. I simply reformatted my partitions execpt /home and viola. Its very nice. Nicer than Artix. Clean, the BSD-style bleeds thru. I know because I have installed a _lot_ of distros on this machine.

A few screenshots. http://imgur.com/a/2IE94

Thank you very much VoidLinux devs and volunteers! Awesome work!!

Wish I could. I work full time at 12 bucks per hr as a pipefitter helper. I so wish we had basic income or some kind of help so I could do thid. There is nothing more in this planet I want most is to be a computer scientist.

Yes truth is worth pursuing. It frees the mind from illusion. I rather not have a black box. And this theory is at the very foundation of economics.

We will never move out of this situation until we repeal the de facto currency and go back to real money based on gold. We have had only legal tender since 1933. Lincoln got killed for printing Greenbacks. Kennedy was assassinated for exposing secret socities. We are under the rule of a fictional commercial entity incorporated in a land taken by war and therefor the laws of admiralty are the true rule of this land. The Fed, IRS and US CORP are Vatican/British entities. The world continues to be conquered by the Roman Empire. Lets get rid of US Debt Currency and move into real money. That's the real solution, a true independence. We are nothing more than a subsidiary of the IMF and WorldBank. If the people of US don't realize this basic truth nothing will ever change. The reality is that those who control currency are in power. Before you judge do some research on Puerto Rico and IRS. Also look at the US code itself. The creators use the loopholes (remedies) to remain in control.
