It did, in fact. I have a VT220 on my desk at work.

Is it possible, just maybe, that at least _some_ people who enjoy his work are adults who can decide for themselves what they like, and aren't the victims of some elaborate confidence trick?

Let's be honest, this comment is full of emotionally loaded language. Let's not fool ourselves, it contains not one iota of evidence to support the core claim.

I'm a software engineer, and I have many terminals open as well. I've been using iTerm2 (with splits) on OS X, but with the awful new Macbooks I'm finally looking at heading back to xterm and dwm on Linux -- I miss it dearly

If the SOL client is leaving the terminal in that state, it's almost certainly broken. The only time it's acceptable not to clean up after yourself is if you literally can't, because you've been whacked with a signal yo

It's true that modern shells like "bash" are receiving a stream of bytes in what is called the "raw" mode of the tty subsystem. For programs that don't switch to raw mode, though, the tty is generally in the &

Is there evidence that this was a conscious decision on the part of Facebook?

It's not really clear how having people "selling loose cigarettes" helps us all become richer. But that _is_ a perfect example of an invented, demeaning occupation that nobody needs to be doing. Just because somebody in anot

You can't give people a tax break if they earn literally nothing. There isn't necessarily an economically sensible job for every single person, and it seems ridiculous to invent bullshit or demeaning jobs just so that people can

It can mess up _any_ file system. ZFS is, under some conditions, more likely to _tell_ you that you've had a problem. That said, if a bit flips in the wrong place in RAM, even a checksumming file system will not protect you. The file

I think visualisations need to be a seriously terse summary, leaving out most of the detail apart from one or two critical dimensions where you're looking for the pattern or trend. A latency distribution heatmap can make a lot of data

Why is that? It's not perfect, but we have a number of vital systems programming facilities available. For instance, we can (through mdb, the debugger, and the mdb_v8 module) inspect all of the Javascript (and native) state in a core

That's basically what happens in open source, once you get enough people in and around your project.

No, thank goodness, but not for lack of trying[1]! The I2O group seemed to favour channel I/O on the grounds that it was an excellent way to sell more proprietary hardware and restricted access to specifications. Fortunately they were

We just started using Gerrit, but using Github authentication. Can't sign in! Not doing our own account management appears to have been a poor decision.

If you have a lot of data that you want to ingest and store, without keeping it in an active instance, you might want to take a look at Joyent Manta[1]. We allow you to run compute jobs directly on the storage servers themselves -- basical

Trains allow more people from a more diverse spectrum of socio-economic conditions to work or live in and around an area. If you're a keen isolationist, whether for more or less discriminatory reasons, you almost certainly will vote t

Right. This part of the article was the most aggrevating for me. Perhaps the author could refrain from speaking for everybody! OpenStack may be a ruinous rubbish barge of a platform, but others are working on software that seeks to _reduc

While I have no particular desire to use Windows for anything, I think it's very interesting to see the engineering tools used to support it. Though it's a proprietary system, it is nonetheless a large and successful one. I&#x27

Ultimately we get the over-sanitised walled gardens we deserve. As with overly prudish advertisers pulling ads from comedy TV programmes, though, the power of (and need for!) voting with your feet can be quite hard to discern for most cons

For the record, there is no "proprietary [operating system]" involved here. The Triton stack (upon which Manta is based) runs on top of SmartOS[1], a wholly open source operating system built around an illumos[2] core. [1] https

As far as I can tell, the drive to pamper riders comes from the fear of being cut off from driving for receiving too many sub-five star ratings. I would feel differently about it if Uber were handing out a "water bottle" stipend.

In illumos, a descendant of (Open)Solaris, we have a first class container primitive called "zones". In SmartOS, the Joyent-backed distribution of illumos, we also have support for running an entire Linux userland (e.g. Ubuntu or
