Few Jokes on Unix Operating System and its functionalities *

I remember i wrote a joke on UNIX users a few years back in one of the blog. I was also sharing this with my colleagues in different offices i worked in. Few friends back there in Adobe system and Symantec used to love these kind of jokes. So i thought few more jokes that i have invented (or discovered or written ☺) since then.

The first one is:

Question - Why did the man using UNIX spend all day at the terminal?

Answer - Because he couldn't figure out how to use the "vi" command to exit!

This was a joke because of similar sound of bye and vi especially in some parts of the world.

Question - Why did the man using UNIX always wear sunglasses?

Answer - Because he was always 'ls'-ing in the sun!

Now this used the similarity between the word 'lying' and 'lsing'

Question - Why did the UNIX user wear a tie to the beach?

Answer - Because he wanted to be "root" in the office and "user" at the beach.

Question  - Why did the UNIX user put his computer in the freezer?

Answer - Because he wanted to "cool down" his "system".

Question  - Why did the UNIX user stare at the black screen for hours?

Answer - Because he was trying to "cat" the manual!

Please note that these are just jokes and should not be taken seriously. Unix users are just like any other group of people and should not be stereotyped or discriminated against based on their profession or preferences.

PS: The first of my such joke appeared here in 2013 - https://www.w3lc.com/2013/05/checking-file-system-directory-size-in.html

Warehouse management system and the Infoplus Cloud WMS

A warehouse management system (WMS) is a software application that helps companies manage and organize their warehouse operations. It provides tools for receiving, storing, and distributing products, as well as tracking inventory levels, monitoring warehouse activity, and generating reports. Some of the key features of a WMS include:

1. Inventory management: A WMS allows companies to track inventory levels in real-time, so they always know how much stock they have on hand and where it's located. This helps prevent stockouts and overstocking, and helps companies make better decisions about when to reorder products.
2. Receiving and putaway: A WMS helps companies process incoming shipments, including receiving and inspecting products, putting them away in the appropriate storage location, and updating inventory levels.
3. Picking and packing: A WMS helps companies locate products quickly and efficiently when orders are received, and generate picking lists and packing slips to streamline the order fulfillment process.
4. Shipping and tracking: A WMS helps companies prepare products for shipment, generate shipping labels, and track shipments as they make their way to customers.
5. Reporting and analytics: A WMS generates a variety of reports and analytics, including inventory levels, order history, and warehouse activity. This helps companies make data-driven decisions about warehouse operations and improve overall efficiency.
6. Automation: Many WMSs include tools for automation like barcode scanning, RFID tagging, and integration with other systems like ERP or accounting software, to automate many tasks in the warehouse.

A WMS can also include other features, such as cycle counting, kitting, and cross-docking. It can be used in different ways depending on the type of warehouse (for example, e-commerce warehouse, manufacturing warehouse, etc) and can be customized to fit the specific needs of a company.

Overall, a WMS is a powerful tool for managing warehouse operations, and can help companies improve efficiency, reduce costs, and provide better service to customers. With the help of a WMS, companies can gain better control over their inventory, streamline their order fulfillment process, and make data-driven decisions to improve overall warehouse performance.

ThisChapter.Close() in long debates is good. Personal relations are important to keep that political discourse

And, we all know that well - Politicians are for none. Doesn't matter you support or oppose. If it's your turn you will get the bruise.

Anyways, I propose an algorithm to end the long debates. When you see that no fruitful is happening, you can end the thread. But please do remember to end any traces of hate that popped up in between. See below:

try{
thisChapter.Close();
}
catch( exception hate)
{
hate.End();
free(happiness);
}

Cheers!
Enjoy the life.

Little 'r' me - Meaning and origin of this in email

Very often in our corporate mail boxes we get to see where members of a large email distribution ask to Little 'r' them.
This simply means to reply to them.

Advantage:
1. Reply goes only to the sender and replies do not become a spam to all in the mailing list
2. The sender can discuss some personal aspects also individually with the recipient.

Now, another question is from where did this term come from. And, it is basically this point which is interesting that how did it gain such widespread adoption.

Here are two possible reasons that convince me th emost:

Thought A:

It comes from early UNIX Email systems. From the early days of the The Internet, we used single-letter commands. The lower-case, or little, "r" command meant to reply
 to the sender. Alternatively, the capital "R" meant to reply to the sender and the other recipients.

It is this huge love with UNIX, this term has not been forgotten in the evolution of the Internet. It was hence carried forward by lots of UNIX geeks into a common internet slang.


Thought B:

Gmail has also been around now for more than a decade now. And, habits of Gmail can also be one of the reason for the evolution of this internet term.
Actually, if you want to reply just to the sender in Gmail, you just need to hit 'r'. And, if you want to reply all then you needed to hit 'a'. So, here again the term Little 'r' fits the bill.

Now, before ending let me again remember it for you - You can Little 'r' me at Toughjamy@Yahoo.com.

Computer and Information Technology Applications

I have prepared a PPT that has the topic

Overview of Computer and INFORMATION technology as a Product

It deals with :

Introduction of Computer and Information Technology, its application, future innovations and the effect on Economy.

All are free to download and use the ppt and contents. A proper place in bibliography or reference is what best I can dream of, as of now.

Ideone.com | Online IDE & Debugging Tool

I came across Ideone. I stopeed there. And I used it. Now I give stars to the IDEone Teams accompalishments. IDEOne is an online IDE (Integrated Development Environment) and debugging tool which enables users to share and run code online. The website describes that It is like a pastebin designed specifically for programmers and developers. All the code snippets run on Ideone and can be accessed conveniently via hash links. The easy to use UI is so easy and you dont have to write extra configuration lines of codes. It is as simple as writing code in and IDE on your device itself. And most importantly, since this runs on server you can run codes even on mobile phones. This is just great.


I created this snippet to test a simple code on IDEOne in C++. And it worked properly!!





IDEOne gives you option to write you code online. It is really useful for beginners and evangelists. The best part is that you can write in 40+ languages. It provides you with details about code and its execution including the memory usage, execution time, compiler version, output generated by program and error messages. This service would be of great use when you have to quickly execute code and don’t have a desktop IDE installed.

You can check this out at Ideone Home page





You can optionally turn on syntax highlighting for your code. Much more to see itself than description. But would be a nice online landup where you can learn and test some rare languages too.

You can also check out the public code snippets executed by other users. Ideone is free to use, does not require installation of any extra software or plug-ins, and can be used as a replacement for your existing desktop IDE.

I even tried with simple Python Code:





I was inquisitive to know on what machine is the code and this IDE really executing. I found out that using above code. Result came out to be ‘posix’.
