1 The tao that can be tar(1)ed is not the entire Tao. The PATH that can be specified is not the full PATH.
We declare the names of all variables and functions. Yet the Tao has no type specifier.
Dynamically binding, you realize the magic. Statically binding, you see only the hierarchy.
Yet magic and hierarchy arise from the same source, and this source has a null pointer.
Reference the NULL within NULL, it is the gateway to all wizardry.
2 When users see one GUI as beautiful, other user interfaces become ugly. When users see some programs as winners, other programs become lossage.
Pointers and NULLs reference each other. High level and assembler depend on each other. Double and float cast to each other. High-endian and low-endian define each other. While and until follow each other.
Therefore the Guru programs without doing anything and teaches without saying anything. Warnings arise and he lets them come; processes are swapped and he lets them go. He has but doesn't chown, acts but doesn't expect. When his work is done, he deletes it. That is why it lasts forever.
3 When you overesteem great hackers, more users become cretins. When you develop encryption, more users become crackers.
The Guru leads by emptying user's minds and increasing their quotas, by weakening their ambition and toughening their resolve. When users lack knowledge and desire, management will not try to interfere.
Practice not-looping, and everything will fall into place.
4 The Tao is like a glob pattern: used but never used up. It is like the extern void: filled with infinite possibilities.
It is masked but always present. I don't know who built it. It came before the first kernel.
