The place for beauty in companies Updated +Created
Many/most companies are unable to give any beauty to its employees.
Hiring is simply a process of "let's get this money making project working ASAP", bring people in, without considering Brooks's law.
And then when that happens, companies put people in extremely narrow knowledge areas, making them unable to see or participate in the bigger picture of things, unless they spend 10 years there and reach architect status.
This is perhaps particularly painful for high flying birds like Ciro Santilli.
Companies need a higher top to down force that attempts to actually teach the business and tech to every employee to counter the low level manager get things done now pressure.
Companies that are able to do that, will have many more employees with a sense of purpose, and with the ability to innovate. Those companies will win.
The real projective plane is not simply connected Updated +Created
To see that the real projective plane is not simply connected space, considering the lines through origin model of the real projective plane, take a loop that starts at and moves along the great circle ends at .
Note that both of those points are the same, so we have a loop.
Now try to shrink it to a point.
There's just no way!

One of the first big interpreted programming languages to go a bit further than Bash' word replacement insanity.
To the modern viewer, it feels like a middle ground between Bash and Python.
It was completely insane however, and it just died: Python is much saner, and Bash, although totally insane still golfs better, especially on the file manipulation context.
Wireshark capture filter Updated +Created
Capture by instead:
sudo wireshark -f http -k
sudo wireshark -f icmp -k
Filter by both protocol and host:
sudo wireshark -f 'host 192.168.1.102 and icmp' -k
For application layer capture filtering, the best you can do is by port:
sudo wireshark -f 'tcp port 80'
There is an http filter but only for as a wireshark display filter

AMD just gave up this risky part of the business amidst the fabless boom. Sound like a wise move. They then fell more and more away from the state of the art, and moved into more niche areas.
