What Hacker News says

I love this blog and learned so much about the Unix toolkit and the philosophy behind it by reading it. Too bad it doesn’t seem to be much active anymore, but there’s a lot of great material in the archives that pretty much never gets old since its focused mostly on standard Unix software. The author (Tom Ryder) is an very talented writer with a clear and concise style. A couple of plugs for your consideration: - I integrated all of these history options in my project Sensible Bash [1], an attempt at saner Bash defaults - I made an ebook [2] out of a series which appeared on this blog, titled “Unix as IDE”.
