(IANAL) "Free software" I don't think would have ever been granted, but as hard as it is to imagine now: the phrase "open source" didn't always exist, and wasn't coined until 1998. There's a case to

Yes, that section of the article is discussing historical POSIX prior to 1997. The next section discusses the forming of the Austin Group and from then on only talks about 1003.1. The only place that article uses the phrase "POSIX.2&

"The New Kornshell" (2nd ed) was published in 1995, when POSIX.2 was a thing, and there was a separate "Shell and Utilities Language Committee". In 1997, that committee (the 1003.2 committee) merged with several other co

Sure POSIX job control is old and janky, but it's still in modern POSIX.1, as it has been for 20 years now; while POSIX.2 has been dead for 20 years now.

The phrase "POSIX.2" is archaic. If POSIX is IEEE Std 1003, then "POSIX.1" is IEEE Std 1003.1, "POSIX.2" is IEEE Std 1003.2, and so on. In the first revisions, 1003.1 specified "Core Services" (mostl

I agree with your point that it makes sense that he has the best audio. But regarding "in a profession": I believe he still has a day job; I wouldn't call being a youtuber his profession, being a youtuber is a hobby for him.

I checked the man pages and git history! The Linux man-pages project[1] tends to do a pretty good job of telling you when different libcs got a given function, or compatibility concerns between different libcs. BSD man pages tend to just t

getline was originally a GNU extension since at least 1991 (for inclusion in glibc 0.4, at least). It became part of POSIX-2008. It appeared in FreeBSD 8.0 (2009). From FreeBSD it made its way in to macOS 10.7 ("Lion", 2011). I

You've only mentioned courts, but the parent comment also mentioned banks. Sure, if you're going to take someone to court, you need to find them, and everything you say is true. But you often don't need to take someone to c

I think the best answer is that systemd-the-project tries to be the things that all of the different distros historically had to do themselves, the things that didn't have an upstream, but maybe deserved to have an upstream so that the

You don't have to use systemd-resolved. Most distros have been using systemd but not systemd-resolved for years. Fedora only just started using systemd-resolved by default in the most recent release. It's like, yeah, that's

Bash has both a well-written info manual and well-written man page, an anomaly among GNU software! Weirdly, they don't share much language. Seems like a waste of effort to write two distinct high-quality manuals for the same piece of

Playing with PAM is definitely worth-while (and don't forget to have a root shell open the whole time so you can fix it when you break things!) It really drives home exactly what the kernel's view of users is, and what is just co

Sure there is, it's a different thing. Many monospaced fonts are also uniwidth, sure. The article is promoting fonts that are non-monospace but are uniwidth. It would be wrong to apply the term "monospace" to these fonts
