How funny that Apple’s (now hidden for such a long time) ~/Library folder keep archiving old attachments from the Messages app. It’s actually 2.5 Go large while I systematically delete most of the attached media once they’re saved on my HD! I know it’s good practice to keep a shallow copy of everything for the casual user — in case things get deleted by mistake, you know, but while isn’t there an option to delete old stuff like this in macOS preferences? #apple

In reply to this criticism one is normally reminded that Unix was invented for a PDP7, which had about as much memory as an earthworm and CPU power to match. That is, the user interface was designed to minimize the time required to decode a command. That meant short, fixed-case, commands, and no minimum matching. But 1969 is a long time ago, and both memory and speed have improved a thousandfold since then. — A Requiem for a Dying Operating System

Still, I like short command names like rm or ls.
