I think it is a mixture of both celebrity worship and the fact that his stake within his invention is significantly high. He specifically stated that he didn't want to be associated with the project anymore, so I'm pretty sure he had his own reasoning behind that decision. Taking into consideration the fact that he used a nickname to keep his anonymity, I assume that not becoming a public figure was one of those.
You guys know that in bash you can use `&` to pass a foreground terminal process to the background and then use `wait` to wait for all the session's background process to end, right?
Yes, and those work well for smaller workloads, but if you just run 1,000,000 commands with `&` in a `for` loop, it will grind your computer to a halt (if the tasks are modestly resource intensive). GNU parallel will let you run those same 1,000,000 tasks but make sure that only (e.g.) 16 of them are running at once. It's not easy to do that in bash.
It takes time to notice that if you do _several_ of these background jobs with `&`, you will only get the exit status of the last one when you do `wait`. Errors of the others will be swallowed.
Then you _have_ resort to 'wait <pid>' with the 20 lines of bash coded need to manage all those PIDs. I have a large editor bash snippet just for that.
I don't think they are, there's often comments at the top that are posted x minutes ago where x < 10. I don't think posts that new could have that many votes. There's probably a weighting factor comparing votes to recency, maybe other factors too.
I have synced with the computer before, but I needed some disk space a while ago and deleted everthing related with the iTunes. So, do you think those keys were backed up on my computer?
I've deleted iTunes assets on "~/Library/Application Support" and "~/Music/iTunes". Also, before doing that I've deleted all the backups I had on "iTunes > Preferences > Devices".
It would be awesome if there was someone out there who could test this. :)
