I forgot my medications this morning and I don't think I got enough sleep last night. My brain is fuzzy and I can't think straight. I can't code. My writing sucks. When I try to read something, I don't remember what I read. I don't know what to do without my brain right now. Guess I'll just play computer games or something.

Most books on computer hardware simply list all the components of a generic PC, gloss over their functions, and then launch into a detailed discussion of all the different models available. They never explore the scientific side of the computer or explain how any of ...

I like sed primarily for one reason: it's weird. It is, I would say, the only esoteric language anyone uses for practical purposes. Its syntax is illegible to most programmers and appears to the uninitiated as just a bunch of random characters. It uses a lot of slashes, dollar signs, curly brackets, and whatnot. It is one of the least verbose languages in the history of programming, to the extent that no sed command is longer than a single character.
