# We check if the server is on by asking the ALU to perform an operation,
$result = 1 + 1;
if ($result == 2) {
print "Server is ON.\n";
} else {
print "Server is OFF.\n";
print "Power on the system before attempting to run any programs!\n";
}
Brilliant


man, but preferably BSD ones. They’re terrific. It pays to get comfortable with the pager (man less), but for web rendering, https://man.openbsd.org/ is great. I don’t know why these other man sites use monospace fonts, the language man pages are written in was literally made for quality typesetting!
My colleague uses it to generate rambling code, often pointlessly rewriting existing logic to solve all kinds of hallucinated problems, which he doesn’t understand a bit, then dumps it on me and acts offended when asked to explain any of it.
