That's just camel case vs snake case (though in this case, it also has the first character capitalised)

I use C++ and in certain projects, I am already halfway there.

  1. I'm not American either.
  2. I assume we all know this thread is a meme. IRS sounds the most memetic
  3. If you paid with cash, the person who accepted the cash most probably had eyes. Eyes along with the human brain, are one of the first tracking devices in human civilisation. The information they save on you are not even subject to the GDPR.

Did your breakfast material not come with a bill?

Even better, each and every particle of ink can be a network connected nano-machine, the usage of which, is available as a subscription.
If and when your subscription expires, all ink connected to your account will stop working. Ink previously used for printing, will fall off the paper.
This can be prevented, on using special HP papers, with an ink-capturing coating of nano-machines which can be separately subscribed by the owner of the product of printing.

Meaning, now you can print books with HP printers and the customers can pay you a subscription fees to keep the book alive. Alternatively, they can print on HP paper and you can pay subscription fees to HP yourself.

I call it IaaS (Information-Retention as a Service)

It is to use along with split. e.g.

  1. You take a single large file, say 16GB
  2. Use split to break it into multiple files of 4GB
  3. Now you can transfer it to a FAT32 Removable Flash Drive and transfer it to whatever other computer that doesn't have Ethernet.
  4. Here, you can use cat to combine all files into the original file. (preferably accompanied by a checksum)

I can relate and I'm not even an expert yet.

Best part, all content you watch is free of cost and tailored by your own brain cells.

The companies will just go around blaming some random engineer for it and then go on throwing money for PR stuff.

I remember one of my seniors at work asking me how open source software manages to develop so much without a direct monetary incentive.
"There’s no lack of resources to give everyone everything they want." <- is the point.

Our civilisation has enough people who like coding, willing to put their spare time into OSS, to be able to get good quality tools for use in all fields. Now all we need is for all of those people to be given enough spare time without having to worry about things like mortgages, loan payments and basic survival in some cases and everyone can profit (including the companies who would be giving them the spare time).
