This is how it always is, until suddenly one day it isn't. Linux didn't play in the same league as serious and commercial UNIX systems until one fateful day it killed them all dead forever.

"Good tooling, good libraries, proven track record" are all relative concepts, it's not something you have or don't have. There are serious projects being written in D as we speak, I'm sure, and the language has a

Not everything needs to have "traction", "excitement" or the biggest community. D is a useful, well designed programming language that many thousands of people in this vast world enjoy using, and if you enjoy it too, you

Yes. Had to look it up, but apparently it was developed by TCNA (Toyota Connected North America) which does car software and such.

They probably mean that port 25 is blocked on consumer ISPs/residential IP blocks to prevent malware from running an smtpd on an infected home computer or router (which used to happen a lot), but on a higher level of course no one bloc

Noise depends a lot on the actual amount of light hitting the sensor per unit of time, which is not really a part of the simulation here. ISO 1600 has been quite usable in daylight for a very long time; at night it's a somewhat differe

Fair. The screens are really beautiful, absolutely worth reusing if possible. I'll be decommissioning 40+ 2020 27" iMacs this year (i9-9900, 32 GB) and it's such a shame to see so many great displays and otherwise functional

The iMac Pro is a 2017 computer, although it was sold until 2021. So given that it runs Sequoia, that's anywhere from six to ten years of OS support. OCLP will probably figure out how to patch Tahoe for the iMac Pro soon enough, but un

More than six. 2019/2020 Intel Macs get Tahoe 26.0 + about three years of security patches for Tahoe. The last Intel Mac will be out of support in probably late 2028.

MacBooks are nice but: priorities. If the choice is between avoiding selling out your brain to adtech, tracking and AI slop baked into the OS or having something that feels good to touch then bring me the e-waste bin and let me fish out s

Firewire (with a TB3->TB2->Firewire dongle chain) still worked up until macOS 26 Tahoe, when they finally dropped support completely. That's not too bad considering the last Mac with Firewire shipped in 2012. (I still use a Firew

I believe one of the "standard works" to learn 6502 back in the day was Programming the 6502 by Rodnay Zaks. It's out of print, but it was printed in a lot of copies so you should be able to find one second-hand.
