The files I've looked at are Pascal (the article talks about Apple's object-oriented varient). I suspect there's 68000 assembly language there too, but I'm just getting started.

I interviewed at Panasonic years ago due to their in car info systems using QNX. Also, Coca-Cola’s kiosks for drink selection uses QNX. In both cases, they’re using Qt instead of Photon. Photon was just about perfect as a GUI architecture I

Anyone have an example, say of how to use this command to mount the public plan9 repo?

My 3 kids are all grown and I have only now begun to realize why they have hard and “real” conversations with my wife and light and simple ones with me (to the frustration of my wife)… I suppose it’s because I was an absent parent. Do bett

I've been stubbornly using vile since perhaps 1998. It's one of the first things I install onto the new unix-ey things I use. This all started because back then at least, screen update speeds seemed faster than vim, and it did mul

Nice work. Inspires me to create a shell/console editor in Tcl.

Just curious. I worked with two SWE's there, both top notch.

That's a pretty bold comment for such a large site... did you have any good experiences with other folks from Moto?

What a good look... one of the people at the highest tier of a company blaming someone at the lowest tier. Are we all this blind?

I don't miss much about living in Lawrenceville, GA, but I DO miss having 2 Microcenters within reasonable driving distance from my home. We have one here in SoCal, but it's way too far away from me. Hope they stay alive for a lon

When I first moved out to Woodland Hills, I could walk from my apartment to Frys easily. I bought more junk than I really needed because of that arrangement, but I guess not enough to keep 'em in business. :'(

I moved from Atlanta (where there were two Microcenter stores) to the LA/SFV (where there are 0 unless you count Tustin which is too damn far away), so you’ve caught my attention about the car modding community as being a replacement a

It was pretty cool. I did a few capability demos for my team back in 2000 using the IE plugin + Limbo + Tk stuff as a replacement for some really bad Perl configuration tools, but could never get any momentum with it. Wish I (and the plan9&

While I absolutely LOVE Inferno "philosophically", I agree it doesn't win UI beauty awards... the source is all there and I could probably show my love there by updating things.

I saw the thread fix-up recently. Based on the comments, it seems setcontext/getcontext versus pthreads is becoming less of an issue these days.

Aren't *nix file descriptors kind of an OS "handle"?... Okay, I'm hiding in case anyone sees this comment and lobs a criticism my way ;).

Can you provide metrics for the number of people you've seen in each of these two categories? Also I'm curious about what age demographic you're in and how long you've been in the industry. Hoping that I don't sound

I would love to live in that world. Here’s hoping for human evolution.

Thanks for sharing this... I'd never seen it before. It does make me wonder how many languages we use that could be compared to bag-pipes... in that even when you learn how to play them expertly, they still sound like an animal being k

Personal trivia... I once lived in area code 909, which was the worst of the rotary-dial era.

Anyone else here use ST's video decoding hardware with a Transputer as the controller in the mid 90's? All the coding I did for this device used C, but ST's supplied development tools included an Occam compiler and occasional

This warms my crusty heart. The first Unix machine I ever used was a 3B1. Great keyboard! IIRC, it only had a 10 megabyte drive, yet managed to have a pretty complete development and text-processing environment (i.e. cc/etc and troff&#
