  • Author of The Cathedral and the Bazaar and publi­sher of the now-famous “Halloween Documents,” Eric S. Raymond talks about his latest pro­jects and sheds light on why UNIX deve­lo­pers don’t like IDEs. Freelance wri­ter Robert McMillan cat­ches up with an older, wiser open source advocate.
  • Expect occu­pies a place in systems admi­ni­stra­tors’ tool­bo­xes much like that of mar­king pen­cils for car­pen­ters, or axes for fire­men: it hasn’t chan­ged in years, it’s small and inex­pen­sive, it’s utterly ungla­mo­rous, there are sub­sti­tu­tes that make it pos­si­ble to live without it, but it makes a big dif­fe­rence in the situa­tions that call for it.

  • A Conversation with James Gosling, Part I

  • What is inte­re­sting is the way the fai­lure of micro­pay­ments, both past and future, illu­stra­tes the depth and impor­tance of put­ting publi­shing tools in the hands of indi­vi­duals. In the face of a force this large, user-pays sche­mes can’t sim­ply be resto­red through minor tin­ke­ring with pay­ment systems, because they don’t address the cause of that change — a huge increase the power and reach of the indi­vi­dual creator
  • In the last arti­cle, I intro­du­ced the Unix find com­mand. This week, I’d like to con­ti­nue by demon­stra­ting some more of the swit­ches that are avai­la­ble with this handy command.
