I've been persistently advocating for an analogous effort in the Software community, and generally think that any Codidact community could likely benefit from doing something similar. As a practica...
I'm using the Gnome System Monitor in Linux Mint. Whenever I attempt to "End" or "Kill" a process, I am given this warning via a modal dialog (emphasis mine): Killing a process may destroy data,...

They are broadly analogous; there's a lot of cross-pollination of ideas between the projects. Some terminology first, because you'll notice that both columns have duplicate entries and this often ...
From what I can tell, both NixOS and Guix are built around a package manager which, instead of installing package into the "common environment" as is traditional, isolates them to mitigate issues a...

While * belongs to the POSIX standard, ** is an extension. You are right it's not in man 7 glob. Tools that treat ** specially (i.e. not as * simply followed by *) tend to agree what it means, but ...
The ** pattern is an extension to, not a part of, the POSIX glob syntax. While it has emerged as an informal standard, AFAIK there is no single standard to reference to describe what it does. This...
