Because we know that "Stackoverflow" is some sort of an authority, right? Come on... don't trust anyone on the Internet (not even me). The only experience you can trust is the one you experience yourself. There is no authorit

Solaris 10 with the SUNWCxall metacluster plus tons of self-compiled, linked and packaged software. If you want to do programming, Windows is totally the wrong operating system for that: it's slow, bloated, vulnerable to viruses and th

I note how you consistently avoid to discuss monetary compensation for investing my time into contributing. Yeah it pisses me off that you believe my free time is worthless and that you're just entitled to ask someone to donate their t

The author is correct: JSON shouldn't be used for configuration files (or for anything else for that matter!), but not because it lacks comments, but because it's very difficult to construct a parser for it. (Just yesterday I had

Where does it say that I don't wish to contribute? I asked about pay because my free time isn't worthless to me and I got back a tangential answer. "Hacker" "News" at its finest.

No it isn't. You're just bashing itunes because you believe it's good to bash Apple Computer. That's just dumb, not to mention a huge waste of time, time which you will never get back.

Anybody who wants simple, robust, bare metal performance containers: provisioning lasts a few seconds and is dead simple. Unlike the cgroups mess, one gets a full blown UNIX server running at the speed of bare metal, and it can run GNU&#x2F

That's just nonsense propaganda. As for me, I will rather never touch a computer again than accept that GNU/Linux garbage. I work on GNU/Linux intensely every single day. The more I use it, the more I hate it. It's amate

That is utter nonsense what you write: these were bugs in earnest, which got fixed 20 years ago! You obviously haven't used a modern SVR4, illumos-based UNIX.

I know that, since I used all three of them.

GNU/Linux operating sytstems are still very primitive (and very broken) by UNIX standards, especially by SVR4 standards. For example, things like fault management architecture, correctly implemented NFS V3 and V4, or correctly working

What the hell? Which meme? UNIX(R) is a registered trademark.

When was the last time you worked on a true UNIX subsystem source? Have you looked at illumos code?

SVR UNIXes like HP-UX, Solaris and IRIX were very consistent (I used all three of them simultaneously): if one understood SVR4, one could move between those three seamlessly. DEC UNIX, OSF/1 and Ultrix were a variation of BSD. If one

"Compared to the vendor supplied tools, they were high quality, and without the arbitrary limitations that the supplied tools had." I've been using both GNU and SVR4 tools for almost 30 years and GNU tools are horrible, even

How did you draw the conclusion that I conflate UNIX and computer science? UNIX was developed by computer scientists with formal education in computing theory and algorithms, on top of those people inventing some of the algorithms and data

And who will compensate me for my free time spent on that and at which rate per hour in USD? Where and to whom do I send the bill?

What you are or aren't used to seeing is about relevant to me as the last year's snow. You're free to think whatever the hell you want, that being a basic human right. Move along now, nothing to see here.

I don't care about that, could not care less: I just do make -j 96 and go do something else. The only thing that matters is very fast code. Back-end optimizers cost CPU cycles, there's no way around that. Expecting fast compilatio

BASIC on those systems was rubbish, every platform had its own dialect, some like Commodore BASIC 2.0 didn't provide full support for hardware capabilities, the systems shipped without a compiler. As a consequence, when you got your fi

Ah, an ATARI ST! As a kid I had always drooled over a 520 ST and 1040 STFM, but they were too expensive and as a Commodore kid I ended up on the Amiga, which turned out to be a blessing in disguise because the Amiga had slightly more powerf

I do. Computers for most people are tools to perform final work faster, not a purpose unto itself which is all about programmer's convenience. A programmer's job is to be as uncomfortable and to suffer as much as possible so that

So if you looked at it, where are the assembler listings to compare? Let me see, I want to see too! If there is nothing to discuss and you plain refuse to do what I told you, why reply? Until you do exactly what I told you, there is nothing

Benchmarks are meaningless. I know from experience at looking at the generated assembler code and intel Fortran's SIMD code that it's faster. Take a look at the generated code and then we can discuss it, but not before. I'm n

Slow compilation speed is never a problem, I doubt anyone besides you cares about it. What is important is whether it generates fast code. Taking a long time to compile is fine if I get very fast code. I'm not going to be compiling cod

They're not ripping me off if I want to give them money. macOS works and not only gets the job done, but gets out of the way.

The primary user if these laptops was the U. S. military and they saw combat on the battlefield. Garrett D'Amore, father of the illumos project, used to work on the drivers for this laptop at Tadpole.

Welcome to running Windows on your computer. What a steaming pile of garbage software is that companies can defraud people like this.
