A terminal multiplexer

I use it only in fairly dire circumstances, usually when at the TTY console. It’s essential in that circumstance, even if it’s only to lock the console screen (with ^a^x)

Ruby is a true object-oriented programming language renown for its ease for comprehension and maintainability. It can do most of the things other programming languages can do, but the programmer has more fun.

Now at the end of 2016, when I look at my very old notes from 2007 I wonder.. Is Ruby’s hayday over?.

Intelligence >

Genius is an indescribable and possibly ineffable quality, mostly because it is not thought to be a giftable state of mind.

Genius is a lucidity within the construct of a person’s own mind. Its expression or even mere understanding is frequently bound by constraints due to language ^[ 1 ] See also the Sapir-Whorf hypothesis, which while wrong has some things to think about. , culture, education, motivation or environment.

If there is but one quality which describes the separation between creatures in this universe, it is the qualities that is genius.
