Succintness is Power. Freakin' Paul Graham. I can barely keep up. Succinctness is Power [by way of lemonodor]

Wiseman is right: Paul Graham seems to be very active writing very insightful articles and essays. Does this mean he’s not working on Arc that much?

After spending an indifferent lackadaisical time poring (yes, blast it, it’s spelled “poring!” If you spell it “pouring” you’re wrong, wrong!) through a Perl book, I smack my head, shout “apropos” and type “man -k hex”. That did the trick. Dahr.

od atxt.txt.gz gives each byte as octal trigraphs grouped by twos; od -c atxt.txt.gz as octal trigraphs with printable and certain escape sequences printed; od -x atxt.txt.gz as hex nybbles grouped by fours. hexdump is similar.
