If you look at the POSIX standard that removes fgrep & egrep [1], then you can see that most of the utilities being removed there really are quite obscure things. In light of that, then another (perhaps more charitable) way to look at i

The cell tower network is designed to cope with devices located on the surface of the planet, i.e. where the geometry between the handsets and the tower is roughly two-dimensional. I am also unconvinced that handsets on aeroplanes are real

I think the parent is coming from a place where projects have a defined start point and a defined deliverable at the end. In that situation, they might be advocating for spiral development [1], which isn't really that different to ag

Hmmn, I wasn't aware of that behaviour. I think this is the correct answer: thank you.

You're correct, I got the chronology wrong. From a more careful reading of Wikipedia it looks like ~2 yrs writing most of BBC BASIC, then designing the ARM instruction set, whilst at the same time maintaining BASIC (for another 15 ye

Someone who is quite well-known, but maybe doesn't get all the credit they really deserve, is Sophie Wilson. Not only did she design the ARM instruction set, but before that she spent fifteen years working on BBC BASIC, the language th

Not stuck, but hardly a runaway success. That graph shows adoption at 40% and increasing, roughly linearly, at maybe 5% a year. At this rate, it's going to be 2040-2050 before we are in any realistic position for an IPv4 switchoff. So:
