I actually used the Apple Dylan environment. IIRC, it required 48MB RAM -- yes, M -- to launch, which was extremely an extremely large amount at the time -- as in, you probably needed to buy more RAM to run it -- and was itself written in

The answer is to find like-minded parents and form schools with their kids. This is hard to do, but it is the only real answer.

Are there more companies with high quality chairs, or just more at effectively the bottom end?

Is this an AI response? It's essentially gibberish after the first two sentences.

Yes. It had an ugly UI and preemptive multitasking, but it didn't have memory protection and -- unlike MultiFinder -- didn't clean up after apps for certain resources, so you'd eventually need to reboot to get those resources

Netscape was always crashy on classic MacOS. Most other app software, and even games, were relatively stable.

iOS has very strict process/resource management because it wants to preserve both available RAM (for responsiveness) and your battery life. I wouldn't call it cheating (even in jest); it's a very deliberately and carefully de

H1B has evolved into a bizarre collaborative scam between the government and tech corporations; there is, in fact, a US citizen who can fill any software engineering role a US company has.

It is a problem with the DMCA because the DMCA makes companies do this to CYA because your apple purchase might be circumventing copyright and it's easier just to assume it applies to everything than to narrow it to actual copyright vi

I don't think it's quite the same thing as "everything is a file". Unix files are typeless byte streams. Ruby objects have actual structure and type, and being able to do, for example, `49.times {print "this is a ti

It's nonsense -- plenty of people use phones and iPads while tethered to a charging cord. The port is well secured to the logic board of the device because it has to survive a lot of yanking, accidental falls, etc. It doesn't expl

The 432 was far too slow to be competitive, which was a consequence of bad implementation decisions rather than the approach itself. See https://www.princeton.edu/~rblee/ELE572Papers/Fall04Readings...

Think of it this way: they are trying to make git better by addressing fundamental weaknesses in git, but some of those weaknesses require a fundamentally different UI paradigm and as such aren’t practical to upstream, hence a new project.

I know people who really hate git because the UI is so awful, and it’s (theoretically) way more than a 15% gain for them. They’ll get to stop rubbing broken glass against their legs every day.

Merges were so, so painful in SVN, though. Maybe SVN improved towards the end of its life? I remember everyone went well out of their way to avoid needing to merge until git, because it could take hours to resolve a heavily-conflicted tree.

Twitter is dead, it just hasn't stopped twitching yet. Turns out network effects are extremely durable. There is no time like the present to move to BlueSky if you haven't already.

The C standard library provides no recognizable container types, so there's no "main" anything.

Neither. Going by the parent poster's gauge, the most "expedient" is probably Lucid; better engineering, better range, and better service.
