Well I sat through quite a bit of USMLE prep and it's there.

Well then it's simple: can't have a good platform built with a shitty language.

...And then some. That would be enough for me to report the abuser to child services.

by Annatar 7y ago
No it isn't, he right. It's child abuse. Not Swift, but Java is definitely child abuse.

That's not true at all: as a kid, I had to do inordinate amounts of reverse engineering precisely because I didn't have sufficient documentation, and what little I did have was in a foreign, non-English language I did not understa

Intelligence is inherited from the mother, not the father. That's standard content on the United States Medical Licensing Exam ("USMLE").

I don't know whether it'll build because I'm interested in maximum compression -- time spent compressing is immaterial to me since it's only done once. It's like compiling -- I don't care how long it takes if i

Nothing at all; it's what was done to that hardware that's the travesty here. It takes an extraordinary level of incompetence and ignorance to even get the idea to slap Linux with dmraid and LVM on that hardware and then claim tha

"After EoL a colleague installed Linux with dmraid, LVM and xfs on the same hardware: much faster, more robust." Please let me know which company this is, so I can ensure that I never end up working there by accident. Much obliged

XFS is not copy on write.

Because my Amiga: volume is actually an NFS share on my Solaris 10 central storage server in the basement. With xz(1) I'm easily portable across systems. And you're talking to a guy who had his C128D spend all nights crunching int
223.
by Annatar 7y ago
I use xz on my A1200 all of the time, and Amiga is the stereotypical system where maximum possible compression matters over everything else. Don't make assumptions about me.

Because size does matter.

I couldn't care less about decompression speed, because the bottleneck is the network, which means that I want my packages as small as possible. Smaller packages mean faster installation; at 54 MB/s or faster decompression rate of

"Have you written much assembler?" I have written lots of MOS6502, MC68000 and UltraSPARC assembler, as I come from the demo and cracking scene. That's where I grew up.

by Annatar 7y ago
You haven't been paying attention: we now run 64-bit AMMX extended MC68080's which get faster and faster every firmware update. SPARC register windows are an awesome thing once you grok them; 256 virtual registers and pedal to the
228.
by Annatar 7y ago
Yeah... no. I'd rather bang my head against the wall until it bleeds profusely and I figure out how to synthesize my own OpenSPARC cores and enjoy myself on 64-bit MC68080 which gets faster and faster with every accelerator update.

By definition, RISC stands for "reduced instruction set computer". And RISC-V exposes its internals so it has way more instructions than a conventional CISC processor, a lot of which deal with its internal states. Here is a good e

That is insane.

"While reading the rest of this post, please keep in mind: RISC-V is simple!" That's either a lie, or the author is severely traumatized from coding on x86 and is suffering from the Stockholm syndrome. Poor author; I feel sor

The 2nd decade ends on December 31st, 2021 because there was no year 0: the first year was year 1. You've one more year to go.

Hell no!!! They are a UNIX®️ thing, originating at AT&T!

I write a formal specification document, as in I do classic system engineering. Even for strictly private projects at home.

by Annatar 7y ago
That's an ingenious solution. Whoever thought of that was very, very smart, forward looking and insightful. We need to bring that into illumos, the runtime linker in illumos already has capability to do all sorts of things before the e

Does A/UX use any kind of packaging format and is there a way to install it automatically over the network?
237.
by Annatar 7y ago
I just have to ask -- does A/UX use any type of software packaging format? Is it SVR4 pkgadd(1M) / pkgrm(1M) / installf(1M) / removef(1M) / pkginfo(4), or something else? Is there any documentation on how to make OS

This is chalk full of bad advice like "use GNU make and bash" that it's obvious to me it was written by someone who only knows GNU/Linux and doesn't know UNIX (or much else). Blind leading the blind again. Don'

Replace rsync with OS packages and you got yourself a deal and a half.
