      @@mrmotofy What you're referring to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I've recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX. Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is often called "Linux", and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project. There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use. Linux is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine's resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called "Linux" distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux.

Indeed because in Back, you write some logic, and this is the programming definition. But Front doesn't apply that subjective rule, it is just to satisfy graphical presentation, so personal desires, that cannot be always logical.

    Apple, Google, Amazon, and Twitter are truly despised right now, and Linus Torvalds is unequivocally loved by everyone who knows about him. If someone were to take down any of the 4 digital horsemen, nobody would shed a tear. If Linus ever needed a favor or financial assistance, nobody who knows about him would hesitate to voluntarily, and without asking his permission, start a fund or contribute to one, to help him. This is the power of not partaking in antisocial behavior and business practices. I practice this myself every day. Sharing your ideas and information openly provides you much more power AND HAPPINESS, and the Loyalty of your community, than greedily clinging to secrets and keeping everyone else in the dark about what you're doing.

      Carter Cole We all did that back in the 80's. On cpu's like 6502, 680xx etc. The instruction set's was considerable smaller than on later cpu's, so it looks more impressing that it actually is :). Another thing was that routines often had to be cycle exact, so in addition to type in the OP codes we often had to know how many cycles the cpu used to perform each instruction.

      It is assembly code. Just instead of typing the assembly mnemonics you typed their opcode values instead. After you've typed them hundreds or even thousands times you know them pretty well. Before there came any good assembler we just typed the opcodes in a monitor, directly into the memory. No memory allocations etc. back then. Just hardcore, no relocatable, code :D

    I think he may be considered as the worthy successor of Ken Thompson and Dennis Ritchie whom he says he‘s an admirer. For Linux of course, but a lot more obviously for git, which is, as he says, his very own creation. He just revolutionized source code management in a so elegant manner (from his experience in filesystem development afaik), which has been adopted so widely and so astonishingly fast.
