What's the reason for this specific “rm” sequence in the xkcd joke? Recent rms will fail on the last command with rm: it is dangerous to operate recursively on ‘/’; other than that rm doesn't require access to any resource after initialization. A reason for using multiple commands might be that the user might have different access permissions to those directories. |

What is the default jobs argument for make? None that I know of. But many processes could compute in a couple of cylcles how much memory they need according to the size of their input(s). If they were able to tell the system (simplified example: they might malloc() everything they need and claim explicitely that they now drop their privilege to malloc()), the system could then use better scheduling. |

What is the default jobs argument for make? Unlimited would totally make sense… if only the system was good enough to schedule tasks taking memory consumption into account (unfortunately, unixes does not require processes to provide memory consumption estimates or other resource-consumption-related guaranties). |
