The history of Unix *dump programs

The idea of a dump program itself goes back to V6(Research) Unix, which introduced the first, rather basic dump program. At the time, Unix had neither tar nor cpio , so dump wasyour only option for backups. V7 Unix introduced tar , and I have theimpression that as a result dump fell out of favour for backups.

My impression is that dump really got popular in 4.x BSD. WhenBerkeley revised the filesystem format to create FFS (the FastFileSystem), with

今天乘地鐵時,竟然給人用粗口問候。

話說我站在地鐵車廂中,用入耳式耳機很留神地聽著 Podcast,眼睛無意識地周圍看,察覺到斜對面的一名男子好像向我這個方向望過來。我以為他是看我身後的站圖,所以也沒有留意他真的在看

做人,原來好簡單

做人呢,可以話好複雜,又可以話好簡單,有時簡單到可以用一句話來總結一生。有個阿伯就曾經講過:「做人只有兩個目的,一係來攞債,二係來還債。」自從聽過這句話後,我每天上班對住上司Eric,心裡都

Thick and thin

After sharing an article about medical student burnout and misery in Facebook, quite a number of friends wrote to me.

Talk to any of the medical students, and it's hard not to notice that their bumpy path is littered with failures. I like listening to their collection of stories, told in their pain and occasionally joy, their passion and rage, their yearning and, more often, their cry.
