The big difference is the extra years of work that went into Proton and Steam-on-Linux ecosystem, including controller support etc.

My point was not that it was a painful road, but that merging replacement of Harrier into what is ultimately a wildly different set of requirements ensured Lockheed win. Especially since the addition of VTOL was before any non-USMC operat

Even many of the more complex instructions often can translate into surprisingly short sequences - all sorts of loop structures have now various kinds of optimizations including instruction fusion that probably would not be necessary if we

Not to the same level. Crusoe was, in many ways, more classic CISC than x86 - except it's microcode was actually doing dynamic translation to internal ISA instead of operating like interpreter in old CISCs. x86 ISA had the funny advant

The "special casing" of "operational capability" is public fact - USMC decided to claim initial operational capability on aircraft that didn't even have complete SMS (stores management system), something that was mi

For very special meaning of operational that could be summarized as "USMC could not allow it to fail". And the delays were on the whole project due to forced commonality (in addition to L-M being L-M)

F-35B was added to JSF to ensure Lockheed (who had been working on exactly that since 1980s even to the point of licensing designs from USSR ) was the only company that could win the contract.

It's not, it's way more simplified as 9p is as close to platonic ideal of Unix I/O turned into RPC as possible, whereas AFS included considerable infrastructure for example to efficiently distribute larger read-only datasets.

Apparently the lack of emergency calls without SIM is due to pre-existing german practice because of some "misuse" of emergency calls. I have no words that would not end up in things that might necessity calling 112...

Since eCall uses 112 infrastructure, it does not need subscriber identity, as the call will be accepted by any network in range.

I remember early days of docker and how it was not really Dockerfiles early on, but people running image, editing in it, then committing this as new image.

The standard for fixing something this broken is stop the bot, revert the rollout, revert changes to pages affected, then attempt to figure out what went wrong. Even if you haven't done it yet, announce the revert steps, FFS.

The references to "budget line" were from contemporary sources, and that it was heavily reduced in cost - while terminal sequences were more of "simple matter of programming" ;-) My understanding that some of the feature

It's possible to do that, as kubernetes only passes the image information to CRI. You can also setup a separate service to "push" images directly to your container runtime, someone even demoed one in Show HN post some time ag

Interesting that xterm is written off as not supporting sixel, when in actuality it supports both full SIXEL and ReGIS and Tek 4010, with 24bit colour IIRC. It's just not enabled by default.

VT5xx was the budget line with limited functionality, that's why only 525 among them supports ANSI color. The only fancy stuff was multisession (TD/SMP if you have all bits to support it) and "desktop accessories" like c
