Re: [9fans] Jim McKie

[Don A. Bailey]

So sorry to learn this. My favorite memory of jmk, though I never knew him 
personally, was from 2003, when I was still learning how to engineer and hack 
operating system kernels. He and I exchanged emails regarding the best way to 
audit a kernel’s networking stack, as I had found some bugs in the Plan 9 
TCP/IP stack that were remotely exploitable. His point was that I was way over 
thinking how to implement a working product, and I should focus more on being a 
*good engineer* rather than being a *perfect engineer*, and not worry so much 
about how perfect every line I wrote was. I’ll never forget how much that blew 
my mind at the time, an idea so simple, that even in a place as “elite” (to me) 
as Bell Labs, perfect was the enemy of good, even if innovation was the goal. A 
lesson I have carried with me from that day, which may have contributed greatly 
to the success I’ve had since then. 

Rest in peace, my friend.

Oh no! I'm so sorry to hear this. How awful! I always thought jmk was a
really friendly and approachable scientist and I enjoyed interacting with
him.

Sad news. Thank you for letting us know. I never had the pleasure of
meeting him in person, but I had a lot of respect for his knowledge

Condolences to his family! We exchanged emails (just checking on each
other in these strange times) just a week prior. Must've been very
sudden.

That's sad news indeed.  I haven't seen him in ten years, but always
enjoyed his wry humor. He always made me feel welcome on the community.

Re: [9fans] adding -i flag to ignore in /rc/bin/ape/ls

[Conor Williams]

hi Jens,

from the 'man ls' on mingw:

  -i, --inodeprint the index number of each file
--
/c

Ps:
An inode is a unique number assigned to files and directories while it is
created.
The inode number will be unique to the entire filesystem.
PPs:
User@DESKTOP-NBQGTKA MINGW64 ~/pyth/2x2.2
$ ls -id out1.txt
1970324837545813 out1.txt

User@DESKTOP-NBQGTKA MINGW64 ~/pyth/2x2.2
$ ls -d out1.txt

[9fans] adding -i flag to ignore in /rc/bin/ape/ls

[Jens Staal]

Dear all,

A lot of configure scripts fail on "ls -di" where the easy solution often is to
just edit it to "ls -d" but is there a reason the "-i" flag is not added to the
list of flags that are ignored in /rc/bin/ape/ls ?


Best regards,
Jens
