I went on a long vacation. Now I'm working through a digital stack of programming and computer books. What are your favorites or recommendations?
This seems a good place to start:

Re: new wave
I know this is controversial, but I'd say these fellows are the most underrated band (or at least up there):

slow & sweet

So, not only can vim edit files remotely itself, it will also pull the source code of a webpage for you:

Re: experimental replacement for ceni
updated
@wux: I checked it out, but it seems fine. I couldn't find a real difference in using pidof or pgrep. Thoughts?
@machinebacon: added & updated
@rho: thanks for the feedback. I'll try the numbers and sorting by signal strength. I'll look for a way around iwlist too.

Re: experimental replacement for ceni
So, I did pull in a haskell dependency --- to use shellcheck. Looks like the last post of code was a bit messy, instead of putting up a wall of text again I'm just going to edit that post with the correction.

Re: Favourite TUI editor
^ per the idea of sandy (that is, a simple editor that gets out of your way) I've read that GNU zile is now no longer an mg-esque minimal emacsen but a sort of meta-editor. I've not investigated it fully, but a low-resource basic editor that emulates emacs, vi, windows (C-c & C-v), and CUA based...

so, I really like ranger's interface but I don't like its bloat. lately I've been using netrw (vim's default file manager plugin) per a tip ( http://is.gd/tDKwCB ) from bayberry. The best part is that if you use vim you don't have to install anything or learn a new tool. Just vi /somedir . cool! hon...

Re: bones
I've read that some people use Acme as their Plan 9 wm, ditching rio altogether. I've never really got Plan 9 working with my hardware, it would install but always have some problem. I'd be interested in your assessment of Acme, 9fs, and the effectiveness of the attempt to move beyond Unix. Who know...

Re: What's in your shell?
#SHELLSHOCK made me reconsider using bash and zsh as I had done. I think OpenBSD's version of the public domain korn shell is a nice balance of beard and bloat. It's in Debian as oksh I think. I've also been investigating rc from Plan 9, it seems similarly useful if strange.

Re: experimental replacement for ceni
Thanks everybody for the input. @wux: It seems like networking is one of the more arcane aspects of linux, at least to me. @bacon: Thanks for the suggestions and tips. Apparently select is found only in bash, ksh, and zsh. Maybe I'll suck it up, but for now I'm looking for a more portable workaround...
