Sarcasm is difficult to grasp on the internet, but some people apparently have more visceral reactions to their misunderstanding than others.

And there's AWS S3, and there's AWS Glacier. And there's AWS S3, Glacier storage tier, which isn't Glacier. Which is OK, because Glacier is going away, and you should use S3, Glacier tier. Unless you're already u

Apparently, you don't urinate like the rest of us; humans are not a closed loop. Neither are most data center cooling facilities, but I think it's pretty clear that level of fact is wasted here.

I'm told 65XX cores were used as the basis for several hard drive controllers of the era Western Design Center is still (apparently) making a profit at least in part licensing 6502 core IP for embedded stuff. There's probably a

I feel like materials science could learn a lot more about radiation embrittlement and high energy micro impacts. They do those experiments on the ISS: https://www.nasa.gov/materials-international-space-station-e...

and now the new TV show I actually enjoyed the series, much as I went in assuming I wouldn't. It works best if you pretend you've never seen another Alien franchise but read a summary of the first 2 movies.

So "not being a dick" really does need an explanatory framework in your world (and an elaborate one, with mostly irrelevant detail). That's.......a shame.

Film industry, too, as I understand it. Pretty much every production is set up with it's own LLC.

I read the T&Cs so I know things like "you need an actual address" before committing my money. YMMV.

Yes, I think most of us are clear that seL4 isn't Unix. But people continue to complain that anything with a Posix layer is Unix-like, and therefore somehow 'bad'. My point was that virtually everyone who complains about th

Yeah, once again you (you, pjmlp specifically) have missed the point. But thanks for explaining the obvious (once again).

Does "I'm just not going to be a dick to these people for ultimately trivial reasons" really need an explanatory framework in your world?

I was sold on greyscale (2-bit) on the NeXT. I ran many NCD Xterminals back in the day, and the greyscale ones were awfully nice. I do have a radiology setup I use for writing sometimes, but yeah it's not a general purpose solution.

At least someone hasn't complained about it being 'unix like', always without defining what the non-unix-like OS they want would look like, or where the software to run on it would come from.

Could have been done for fun. You wouldn't understand.

Look up James Gosling and get back to us. I'd especially be interested in hearing how your undoubtedly superior experience would result in a more successful language. I'm sure you can vibe code something up.

I understand your tiers just fine. You are misunderstanding what "cross platform" means. Or rather, you're trying to redefine it to mean "what Rust supports, in the way we want to support it, on the few architectures w

Z80 mode to run cpm 8080 mode, not Z80. Did run CP/M, and I used 22nice for probably longer than needed. Unfortunately over time lots of cool software assumed a Z80, sooo... Xenix was just pollute and delute - system V with some B

Yup. And I like the implication that Rust is 'cross platform', when it's 'tier 1' support consists of 2 architectures (x86 & arm64). I guess we're converging on a world where those 2 + riscv are all that

If you live in a reasonably large metro area (at least in the US), there is an ecosystem of used appliance places that will often sell you parts from parted out machines. I've saved silly amounts of money this way. Dunno is that&#x27

I remember asking Steve Balmer somewhat before this (late 90s?) "will Microsoft ever prioritize security over new features?". He looked at me like I'd kicked his puppy and said "we would never do that". Culture co

Yeah...and I like how if you hit the 'hide ad' arrow, it veeeery slowly scrolls out of the way. Keep it classy. And don't put a 'donate' button and then pack the page with so many ads I have to use an adblocker[1]

The goal is to build digital “twins” of the experts on how they debug, architect, and maintain these systems in practice. The goal is to replace people to 'save money'. And I'm always amused at startup founders who so obvi

Someone with a tiny little...um...axe to grind and not enough sense to take it someplace where people care. You can tell when they have to go back to Culloden to try and drag something up to wave around.
