In the Beginning was the Command Line

Approximately twenty years ago, Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak, the founders of Apple, conceived the unusual notion of marketing information processing devices for domestic use. The venture proved to be a resounding success, and its founders amassed considerable wealth while receiving the accolades and recognition they deserved for their audacious vision and entrepreneurial spirit. However, at approximately the same time, Bill Gates and Paul Allen conceived of an even more unconventional and ambitious concept: the sale of computer operating systems. This concept was considerably more unconventional than the idea proposed by Jobs and Wozniak. A computer, at the very least, had a tangible, physical existence. The product was delivered in a box, which could be opened and connected to a power source. Once activated, the user could observe the display of lights. An operating system is not a tangible entity. The operating system was distributed on a disk, which, in essence, was merely the packaging for the software. The product was a lengthy sequence of ones and zeros, which, when correctly installed and maintained, enabled the manipulation of other similarly lengthy sequences of ones and zeros. Even those few who possessed an accurate understanding of what a computer operating system was were prone to view it as an exceedingly sophisticated engineering marvel, akin to a breeder reactor or a U-2 spy plane. They were unlikely to consider it as a potential product in the same way that other high-tech entities were.

Linux Kernel Module Programming Guide

The Linux Kernel Module Programming Guide was initially authored by Ori Pomerantz for the Linux v2.2 operating system. As the Linux kernel underwent further development, Ori’s capacity to maintain the document was increasingly constrained. Consequently, Peter Jay Salzman assumed the role of maintainer and undertook the task of updating the guide for Linux v2.4. Similar constraints arose for Peter when tracking developments in Linux v2.6, which led to Michael Burian joining as a co-maintainer with the objective of bringing the guide up to speed with Linux v2.6. Bob Mottram contributed to the guide by updating examples for Linux v3.8 and later. Jim Huang then undertook the task of updating the guide for recent Linux versions (v5.0 and beyond), along with revising the LaTeX document.

Spotify Releases New Royalty Policies for Streaming

Spotify released its updated streaming payment policies for artists and labels on Tuesday morning, as anticipated. These policies are essentially the same as those that have been reported in the past few weeks: measures to reduce the number of fraudulent streams; an increase in the minimum payable track length for “noise” content (i.e., the frequently mentioned recordings of “rain falling on a rooftop”); and the removal of payment for songs with fewer than 1,000 streams.

Accessible hamburger buttons without JavaScript

Burger buttons have become the de facto standard for expanding larger menus on smaller devices over the last few decades. They are so common that every user recognizes them when they appear in the top left or right corner, making them an excellent user interface element choice. They are also very simple to implement in JavaScript: listen for the button’s onclick event and add or remove a class to style the menu with CSS.
