    okay. a weird thing about English is when people say “I’ll have a water” similar to “a grilled cheese”. why don’t they say the full thing? “a cup of water” or “a grilled cheese sandwich” same thing with coffee etc.

    saying “a” using an unit really bothers me

    I have this pet peeve of loud morning talkers. I don’t know how to explain it but I believe I don’t mind loud talkers in everyday life but I notice it right after waking up.

    (Usage of the word talkers over speakers chosen to emphasize the human and not the electronic product)



  • Really? C++ uses the word stream to refer to abstractions that are buffers for reading/writing (depending permission).

    How would files and streams differ in that case?

    I guess you’re saying file handles can be pointing to memory instead of storage but I always think of the word “file” for data written to storage instead of ram. What makes it meaningless in the context of Linux?
