The utility simply known as make is one of the most enduring features of both Unix and other operating systems. First invented in the 1970s, make still turns up to this day as the central engine in most programming projects; it even builds the Linux kernel. In the third edition of the classic Managing Projects with GNU make, readers will learn why this utility continues to hold its top p

It took me a pretty long time to really get Git. As I've continued to use Git more and more where I work, I've found myself trying to teach people what it is and why we use it over and over again, and the reality is that Git generally has a pretty steep learning curve compared to many other systems. I've seen case after case of developers who love Git after they finally understand it, bu

For thousands of years, people have claimed that the world is changing and will never be the same again. Yet the profound transformations occurring today are fundamentally different, as they stem from a specific technological advancement. It is now possible, in principle, to preserve everything anyone says, writes, sings, draws, or photographs - everything. If digitized, the world posses
