> X server locally seems strange Why does it seem strange? It's the same as what you do when you run, say, a web browser locally. (The only difference is, we do not call the browser "web server .")

You mean "markup" vs. "content." At least, such was the original intent: you store what is considered data as content, and metadata of any sort as markup. In many use cases, however, this distinction is now ignored or

You remember correctly. (Remarkably, GORILLA.BAS did not have that problem.)

> There were 487 FPU co-processors Curiously, those were actually the full 486DX CPUs that, when installed, would simply disable the old CPU and take over its function as well.

No. Thanks :) Anyway, looking forward to an answer!

From Wikipedia: Intended as the logical continuation of the FreeBSD 4.x series, DragonFly has diverged significantly from FreeBSD, implementing lightweight kernel threads (LWKT), an in-kernel message passing system, and the HAMMER file sys

Algol 68 was/is a magnificent language, and the experience of reading the Revised Report from cover to cover is unforgettable. The logical structure of the language was driven to the extreme: I vaguely remember that int a; was m

emacs is no longer constantly swapping, either.

Unlike GC, RAII is “eager” - which has performance implications.

> C is the best abstraction for many problem domains It's really not, though. What C is an abstraction of is computer architecture as it existed by the late 1960s.

Operator overloading is the one thing that makes C++ strictly better than any language that does not allow it.

Only a mother could love Swift's syntax. The classic K&R C, on the other hand, was the very definition of simplicity and elegance. (Objective-C is a whole another topic, of course.)
745.
by Koshkin 4y ago
True; on the other hand, personally, I think that normally C and C++ shouldn't be even mentioned in the same context. (My C++ code bears virtually no resemblance to my C code.)

C is like your wife: you love her; you are afraid of her a little; sometimes you wish she was someone else.

Maybe it's time to change "TeXmacs" (which has little to do with, apart from taking an inspiration from, TeX or emacs), to... you guessed it!.. "TheJollyWriter".

Thanks, just did. TeXmacs is one of the best examples of high quality free software.

It sounds amazing to me that today such a powerful machine can be had for a measly $1.5k, and also that it is considered only suitable for “smaller” projects. I remember reading about (a very expensive, no doubt) IBM System/360 that wa
