   I would argue that, being stylistically inconsistent with the way most apl is implemented, that's actually not such a great resource. I found 'whitney c' surprisingly approachable, with just a little patience; despite no pri

   X network protocol isn't really sending draw commands unless you're using Motif or Xaw or something equally outdated.

   > APL was developed to mimic mathematical notation APL was developed to replace mathematical notation. Making it a computer language was almost an afterthought. Indeed, there have been some trivial mathematical proofs in j[1][2][3].

   J[1], ngn/k[2], oK[3], kona[4], and GNU APL[5] are the big oss interpreters. The main closed-source ones are Dyalog APL, Kx k, and Shakti k (which are still free for non-commercial use). 1: https://github.com/jsoftware

    I'm a bit disappointed it didn't go into detail into the way jails differ from zones. VMs I understand, but it seemed like the main point of the post was to distinguish containers from the other three.

    CMIIW, but I believe most of those projects were started with a relatively small (and reasonable) scope.

    Is this data available in structured format anywhere, or do you have to scrape the pdfs?

    More or less. Microsoft tried, but they didn't spend enough time in the Embrace phase for it to work out. Google, meanwhile, has spent long enough in the Extend phase they they barely need to move on (though they are starting to now).

    I can't imagine there's any api-level dependency on the fd field being 8 or 16 bits. The size of the struct is going to change anyway, because it has pointers and those are going to change. Even new languages frequently rely on l

    I find it a little sad that windows support is considered essential (and its lack is a dealbreaker), but linux support is not, even though developers predominantly use macos and linux.

    Most file systems use journaling[1], which allows you to recover from corruption. Some use copy-on-write[2]--most prominently zfs, but also btrfs and, more recently, bcachefs--which almost entirely prevents corruption in the first place. 1
