If you're taking 45mg of oxycodone an hour, you are definitely going to have discontinuation symptoms when you stop.

Bad lawyers also don't kill people as frequently as bad doctors.

How much physics should a doctor know? Do you not agree that there is value in a well-rounded liberal education before specialization?

Apple took NeXTSTEP and with minimal changes had macOS certified as UNIX, so it is actually UNIX, unlike many UNIX-like operating systems.

Unfortunately, I don't believe that is correct. To the extent of my understanding, the vagueness doctrine applies only in some criminal law circumstances, while contract litigation would generally be within the realm of civil law, so i

Well, I can easily use, for example, Plan 9 or RISC OS, on a Raspberry Pi without any porting effort whatsoever. Some of us have use cases that do not simply involve Linux.

Yes. It was far easier to get into college in the '80s, in part because far fewer bothered to attend; this resulted in more legacies then than now (I believe the percentage of legacies at Harvard is in the single digits).

Technically, macOS is UNIX, not a "clone".

But my opinion regarding the mouse being faster is supported by research; the opinion that the keyboard is faster or that context switching slows you down is factually incorrect. http://plan9.bell-labs.com/wiki/plan9&#x

It doesn't have vnc or similar screen-sharing functionality?

Actually it was done in 1993. https://github.com/bvito/misc/blob/master/sam.el

The macOS, Plan 9, Windows and Inferno versions of acme do not require X.

by _acme 10y ago
Well no one is suggesting that you'd input characters any other way, and acme supports sam's structural regular expression command language for keyboard-based editing; so acme supports the keyboard features you're looking for

Does emacs support sam's structural regular expressions language?

Not all ports of Acme/Sam require X.

For pointing to a location in 2-dimensions, a mouse is hard to beat with a keyboard; when locating a point on a map to someone, do you say "Start at the bottom left, then up two inches and over four inches to the right" or do you

WordPerfect is no longer used by any major law firms. In 10 years of practice at one of the world's largest law firms, I've never seen a WordPerfect document.

Combining Logical Operators and Regular Expressions in AWK(gnu.org)

Could you please clarify what you mean by this? Are you referencing concatenation as being a form of logical AND?
147.
by _acme 10y ago
I do have awk available, which allows one to combine regular expressions using logical operators, but I'm interested in the historical and theoretical aspects of my inquiry, if any.
148.
by _acme 10y ago
This syntax is not supported by the tools I use. If we're going to add to the language, why not just add a true intersection operator? My question was meant to be more theoretical - what was the rationale behind incorporating union int
