Heh, got handed a resume. I took a glance and dropped it in the trash. They ask why I never read it. I said it is simple. He talks about work history and copy and paste crap we know nothing about him. For example where are hobbies? What does he do, like, fun? This is the most important.

remiliascarlet: For coreutils specifically, you could invoke ./configure --prefix=/usr --libexecdir=/usr/lib --bindir=/bin, but that would put ALL the executables under /bin, rather than just the ones that cannot live on a separate /usr partition.

Hmm, the FSF distributed denial of service attack seems to be preventing a reliable download of readline-8.3, and there doesn't appear to be a tarball at the crux.ninja mirror. Does anyone know a better mirror for that tarball?

farkuhar: Oh, I didn't know some binaries should not be put in /bin.
<farkuhar>
I don't know the exact criteria for the binaries that go in /bin, versus the binaries that go in /usr/bin. Maybe it's a historical accident and we're just following tradition. Interestingly, /usr/bin contains mkfifo and mktemp, but /bin is where you'll find mkdir and mknod.
<farkuhar>
Another pair that appears rather arbitrary: /usr/bin/du versus /bin/df
<farkuhar>
Or consider these: /bin/cat versus /usr/bin/tac
<farkuhar>
How about /bin/readlink versus /usr/bin/realpath? The very first line of the readlink(1) description says "realpath(1) is a better command for canonicalization functionality."
