   Probably easier to find an old Macintosh with a MMU if you want to try out NetBSD on something of that vintage.

   I can run NetBSD-current on a Macintosh Quadra 950 from 1992.

    When I wrote good access , I was really thinking that Java would have needed to provide an API at least as good as JQuery, not just a low-level way to walk nodes in a tree.

    I remember finding out that a Biology major taking an "Introduction to Computing" course had still not touched the keyboard after six weeks. If a course like this helps people without a programming background get started then that

    The Biology teachers that I had at school were a lot better than those for other subjects, there were not many other jobs that they could do.

    The ultimate build system should be written in a language with no implementations at all, failing this it should only be buildable using itself, examples of best practice being Bazel and Gradle /s.

    Jira can have a network effect. ISO (the standards body) has started using it, I'm sure in part because large companies who contribute to standards were already using it. The committee that I am a member of switched from Bugzilla to it

    I am not the host, it isn't working in my apartment block. The UK doesn't have a single standard on how to do recycling, it is up to each town council to choose how things should be sorted as well as the type and colour of the bin

    Is there anything in the Linux kernel that can't be compiled with clang? There is plenty of experience with building BSD variants using it.
