Hmm, my one question is: what platforms will this explicitly support? Linux, macOS, Windows, FreeBSD, and probably OpenBSD seem shoo-in table stakes. I'm more curious about - iOS/iPadOS: already have a libc, but... maybe? - Androi

Quick question - this comment looks like it was aimed at another thread, or narrowly, another comment in this thread. Or did Arc just glitch?

Hmmm, another red flag. Knowing the difference is just as important as naming it correctly IMHO; it demonstrates both familiarity and reasonable investment, the combination of which reassure me that there is soundness of judgement and compe

Because of the purported interoperability explicitly implied by the U in USB, and what people have come to expect that stands for, AND the fact that the specs spell out charging protocols, voltage restrictions/limiting, etc, backwards

Oooo. Wow, this sounds awesome. I hadn't thought of the concept of writing into a multiple-column layout before. That's really really neat. It keeps the individual runs of text short (faster for proofreading, I've heard), scr

I'm idly curious about the word processor you put together. You're not saying "text editor", which suggests some level of interesting/novel functionality.

So you can either implement optimal privacy hygiene, OR you can get access to services. An awkward counterpoint. This is actually interesting. You basically executed perfectly on the supposed ultimate solution to staying in control of your

Huh, interesting. This appears to be specific to RAIDZ though, which I think I'm not using. I'm just using mirrors at the moment. I'm incidentally currently working through the logistics for a potential upgrade and am serious

Well, here's a reference that's technically semantically relevant to the specifics of your description, but objectively 100% off the deep end in terms of subject matter. I occasionally think about this for a little while then re-b

Huh. I have to begrudgingly agree that you're right. I have a few nitpicks and quibbles, but you're mostly right. My counter-arguments which are mostly commentary: - Speed doesn't go up to 3x+ (internal users can go up to 20x
