That explains why they got it UNIX certified back then, but couldn't they stop advertising macOS as UNIX and stop getting it certified? They even changed the name from Mac OS X to macOS since then.

Google sold Android to nerds as open source. We thought that mobile operating systems would be won by the "Linux of mobile OSs." But Google has made sure that didn't happen and we're left with devices more locked down th

Yea, in the 90s significant whitespace seemed great because it meant that you got readable code. The amount of code that you might see copy/pasted with terrible formatting/indentation in other languages could make you want to scre

As someone mentioned, this is a different Bell Laboratories, but even the AT&T spinoff isn't part of AT&T anymore. Bell Labs is now Nokia Bell Labs. AT&T spun off their technology unit (Bell Labs and Western Electric) as Lu

I'm not the person who proposed the auction, but I read it as "let the companies compete for the H1-B visas in an auction," not about the workers buying their way into the US. For example, if CheapoCorp is looking to replace

It might be that we have multiple features in our codebase and Gemini seems to struggle understanding that it needs to be aware of #[cfg(feature = "x")] and also that if it's trying to run things, it might need to specify the

I guess what seems surprising to me is that Gemini 2.5 Pro scores well above Claude Sonnet on Aider's leaderboard, even beating Claude Opus 4. I have been kinda wondering if there's something that just isn't as good between t

Is Claude Code better than the Gemini CLI? I've been using the Gemini CLI with Gemini 2.5 Pro and haven't been impressed. Maybe these LLMs aren't as good with Rust codebases? I'm guessing there are a lot more people look

I think that the SCO threat to Linux also came at a time when Linux was pretty immune from such a threat. If it's the early-90s and there's two options in their infancy and one had AT&T (one of the 5 largest companies) threate

Same. One difference might be how much stress we put on the machine. I believe thermal paste does degrade faster with more heat and Christian says that he throws a lot at it: video editing, code compiling, CAD models. It might make a differ

If she were trying to time it, this timing seems weird. This is literally the day after Grok kept posting anti-semitism, praising Hitler, and calling itself MechaHitler. This might not be the least graceful moment for an exit, but there wer

The article also doesn't say that it's $3B in cash that OpenAI is spending. They might be giving Windsurf $3B worth of OpenAI shares - paying an inflated value for Windsurf with their own inflated value. OpenAI just had a fundrais

It might depend on who you are. I think Backblaze is well known on here because they've been around for longer and their hard drive stats posts are well liked. If you're a less technical CTO, Wasabi seems to do a lot more traditio

Isn't B2 cheaper than Wasabi? B2 is $6/TB while Wasabi is $6.99/TB. Why would you have to manage hot and cold storage with B2? Wasabi also treats every object as having a minimum 90-day storage period. So if you upload someth

The pricing seems odd. $20/mo for Alexa+, but it's free with a $15/mo Prime subscription? It makes me think that it will only be included with Prime for a short time - long enough to get a lot of Alexa users hooked on it.

The thing I'd add is that Apple often achieves what it does by doing less. People assume that because Apple makes great things that they can make a lot of different great things. But that's where a lot of other companies falter: t
