   - Only read unified diffs
   - Get double-pointer code right on the first try
   - Can compose aritrary PCRE regexs without looking at the docs
   - Can say "sexpr" out loud without blushing
   - Use xxd in any capacity
   - Pipe together 4+ commands
   - Use netcat in any capacity
   - Build from source without a makefile or equivalent
   - Use ld black magicks to summon denizens of the shadowrealm or, equivalently, keep multiple versions/implementations of libc on your box

   I can pipe together 4+ commands, one of them could even be netcat related!

   True...4 of them. Soros and sons. Aside from the joke...I imagine you are a good programmer. For the record DH never worked...this is better overall.

   They are not, especially when using text mode browsers with no spell checkers. Also you misspell things all the time lol.

    I can't cross-thread quote right now but you messed up the gramatical number of the coupla in your post about Trump's wife just looking at your most recent posts. I've seen multiple spelling mistakes out of you. I don't really care, I misspell things, typo, and botch the grammar in my posts constantly but I don't get why you try and correct people when you mess up regularly yourself.
