I imagine GP conceived Wine as such because Wine has tended to have a greater chance of running older software than brand new software. This might be because Wine hasn't had the time to catch up with the latest APIs. But in short, no.

It's also not based on TeX, just inspired by it.

Haha, that's pretty clever :) The intended point was more that the concept can be iterated upon. I think you'd be the last to claim Hubris ought to be the end-all-be-all of holistic operating systems.

Maybe your generation 2 will be called "Humility" to reflect lessons learned :)

My own personal war against UEFI is a losing battle (already can't use newest Intel generations), and I'd love to see this become a new standard. It might make OSes slightly more complicated, but the benefits of everything being o

That's pretty extreme. What's the point? They can't serve the food again to someone else.

Is there any reason `ns-do-applescript` couldn't be made as an Emacs package? That way it'd be trivial to remove it from Emacs proper and Mac users could still extend the editor as needed.

The law of circumcision was done away with in Jesus. It's sad that many Christians still practice it.

6.6.6 would be a patch release to 6.6 and Linus almost never bothers with those. It'll be more the territory of Greg Kroah-Hartman. 6.5, 6.6, 6.7 will be major versions of the kernel. All of them will receive patch releases (6.5.1, 6.6

Given the release cadence of Linux, I'll predict 6.6.6 to come out in August 2023.

The American marketing for the Switch is definitely not "women and children" -- they made that mistake with the Wii U and it hurt , badly. In the US, the Switch is almost exclusively marketed towards young adults, with perhaps a

48-bit is probably not enough; 64-bit was even considered in early IPv6 drafts and it was discarded because it wasn't quite convenient enough for all the routing magic that was intended to happen. The syntax change of addresses: makes

I'm not sure the message is being conveyed properly -- looking up the GNU archive, it seems Bash 1.14 was the current release in 1995. Are people still making sure their scripts are compatible in Bash 1.14? Surely there's a subset

> That's why bash scripts can be interpreted on any OS from 1995 to now and Rust can only be compiled on an OS which has updated it's rustc in the last 3 months. You can get the same effect by trying to run scripts with bash 5.

Thanks, that's good info :) I definitely have new things to study and ponder about. I'm of the Latter-day Saints tradition and we basically use Lord's Day and Sabbath interchangeably, though I'm speaking anecdotally and

6-day work weeks are still common in agriculture, and the Bible is silent on what the exact weekday the sabbath lands on. Some people really argue that it's supposed to be Saturday, but traditionally Jesus's resurrection is said t

Right click to do anything with the emulator isn't much of a UI :)

PCem was abandoned and 86box is an actively maintained fork that's almost entirely better. Includes an actual UI, too!

OpenBSD dropped support for the 80386 around 2005, and the 80486 sometime later. The arch name i386 doesn't actually mean 386.
