Feel better. Technical arguments will still be here when you do.

Why is that? Because nobody gets fired from their paying job for criticizing puerile bullying on a mailing list.

It's a shame he's retired from doing them, given the grievous collapse in the quality of the writing at Ars Technica, but he's got a life to live. I suppose.

The scenery from the ferry is a hell of a lot nicer than the inside of a BART car?

I used to bike to the Ferry building from the Mission and then onto the office across the street from the Sears building. It was much better than taking the coach down to the Peninsula, that's for damn sure.

Plus, you can take the ferry over. That's a sweet commute.

It also doesn't make any damn sense, given that "fiat" is Latin for "let it be done", not "I believe".

No insight whatsoever. Probably nobody ever asked for it, to be honest. "Connect to Server ..." was overwhelmingly used to connect via AFP or, shudder NFS at the time, both of which expose a filesystem like interface. How much l

You might be happy to know that WebDAV didn't work any better for those of us at Apple, either.

djb's software is principled and very well engineered, but a document that appeals to MIND-BURSTING POWER OF PURE REASON can't really then turn around and present a faith-based argument for doing something.

What you surrender in process node, you get back (in spades) in increased core count, PCIe lanes, and cache size.

I consider it an OS-level deficiency that no OS supports a kill-ring as a global service.

No. I don't. I wish it would, but the theory that a huge collapse in ad revenue that leads to widespread extinction among the bottom-feeders who rush to publish crappy junk -- or simply push someone else's crappy junk out wrapped

Without gainsaying what de Raadt says there, it's important to keep in mind that virtualization opens up the possibility to do things other than running a giant pile of Unix slop on top of a different giant pile of Unix slop -- see,
