   Good info, thanks. A person in a WhatsApp group I am in, but not known to me, started such a club recently, so I was interested to know what it was about.

   This is a somewhat common startup acquisition pattern; seen it before many times, and not just by Cisco: >Thomas Graf was at Cisco prior to building Isovalent >Cisco has this idea of spin-ins, that they executed on for sometime Genera

   Very interesting one. I would like to do stuff like that, but don't have land at present. I did organic gardening for a few years, earlier, as a hobby. Have you tried no-till, like Ruth Stout, etc.?

   Nice list. >making wooden boxes Can you describe how you do that? I mean, I can guess in general, because I have done a little carpentry earlier, and making boxes is somewhat common sense anyway (getting and assembling the pieces), but s

   Interesting, and thanks. I didn't know about those. I kind of thought you may have used MirageOS, which I had read about earlier. It is done in OCaml. https://mirage.io/

    Yes, they are two different quotes. I didn't mean to use them as equivalent. It was more like, I used both, because both were applicable in the context I used them in.

    Good question, actually. Thanks for asking. I initially kind of assumed that most people would know about it, because it is a somewhat famous one, or at least, I've read it in many places. But your question made me realise that may not

    Same with (after HLLs, and in rough historical order, over a few decades), 4GLs, CASE tools, OOP / OOAD / UML / round-trip engineering, NoSQL, Functional Programming, what, not, ML, AI, ... ;) What is that French quote about:

    OP here. Wow, this is cool. I never thought that this Ask HN of mine would result in so many replies by people talking about the apps they have created. It was fun and inspiring reading many of them, so far, after I checked back on the post

    >More than that, what killed Pascal on the PC was Borland leaving the small devs market. Correct. My memory is vague on this, plus I don't know a lot about it, but I think people were even creating commercial shrink-wrapped software

    There is PyInstaller, cx_Freeze, etc. for that. I've used PyInstaller to create standalone Windows EXEs for simple programs like command-line utilities, and even for simple wxPython GUI apps. Worked well, although I've read that t

    Actually, seven, not two. Six times throughout the book, and once in the Epilogue. Again, see the Notation section.

    Thanks. I had read most of it many years ago, the print version, but will read this online one again. IIRC, there's an Easter egg of a kind at the end of the book. Looked it up. It seems the Notation section of the book's Wikipedi

    Yes, it was called A patchy server initially, and then that was made into a wordplay on the term Apache, and they used a colourful feather as a logo. There is also sn interesting anecdote about Apache devs, IBM and open source.
