Depends on what you're building an ARM system for. There are proper ARM servers out there; server work isn't the exclusive domain of x86, after all. For homelabs, that's out the window. Do whatever you want/fits your nee

Typically you want stability and predictability in a server. A platform that has a long support lifecycle is often more attractive than one with a short lifecycle. If you can stay on v12.x for 10 years versus having to upgrade yearly yo mai

Well, except the FreeBSD Foundation explicitly says MIT was chosen for interoperability. Are you disputing the FreeBSD Foundation document?

This [0] may provide a hint. Heimdal was developed outside of the US and not subject to export restrictions, unlike MIT. So perhaps in the beginning it wasn’t the package of choice to begin with. And this [1] says for interoperability reaso

Dang, your failure modes certainly are extreme. What companies actually performed a from-scratch rebuild because they failed to take a backup or thought "today's thursday, it's too complicated to restore!"? If an "O

Again, I don't think this was reviewed. It was an assignment to a vendor 'write document and I'll hit publish'. There's a great chance the MSFT document _owner_ has no experience in the relevant area.

What? This is how it works. There are too many people here like the op that make assumptions on what the process is/should be.

Did the one MSFT employee that “reviewed” it know of this image? If not, it doesn’t matter how many people “on the Internet” recognized this image. I’ll never understand the implied projection. (I don’t think this was reviewed closely if at

There is no singular publishing org at MSFT. Each product publishes its own docs, generally following a style guide. But the doc process is up to the doc owner(s).

You said it takes multiple people screwing up, implying that publishing content had multiple gates/reviewers. It doesn’t.
191.
by p_ing 8mo ago
You’re incorrect on how the publishing process works. If a vendor wrote the document, it has a single repo owner (all those docs are in github) that would need to sign off on a PR. There isn’t multiple layers or really any friction to get

For HN, it would be better to point to the website rather than an app - https://www.oddsrabbit.com/ . Looks like it has the same poisonous new reddit-style infinite scroll/low post density where any discussion is a seco

Playing TFC, I always got faster ping times than the early cable users. ISDN was great.

Why is an oft-wrong rumor site which churns out clickbait left and right being pushed up on HN? There's no story, here. It has no reliable source and nothing coming directly from Apple. macrumors.com, 9to5mac.com should have been [dead

Hey I have a PC running 98SE ;-) I feel for those who have to support an OS no longer supported by the vendor. That's a tough position to be in, not only if a customer comes across a bug that is due to the OS, but it keeps you from adv

Microsoft's eye wasn't on open sourcing their OS and describing the deep internals. They still don't want you to develop against the NT API, even though developers certainly do (and Microsoft makes compatibility shims for app

Better than being seen driving a Tesla Nazi car! I'd take an Edsel before being caught dead in a bootlicking Teslamobile. I mean, Tesla build quality is hot garbage regardless. They're frankly boring cars with awful UX.

It's a joke and a poke that macOS isn't certified UNIX as shipped.
