Violation of the Debian Free Software guidelines? Is that a problem? The owner of github became a money making machine using a business model violating the same guidelines.

Yes, I know. But having many IDs means that your information cannot be found by the same ID in all offices and actually many companies, too. That's the way it works in Finland (Sweden, too). While that is a data protection nightmare fr

Finland has been a very poor country after WW II until the 1970s (compared to Sweden who had no war or Germany who lost the war). An economy best compared to Portugal or Greece. The was a first overheating boom in the end of the 1980s, unti

Yeah, when reading VM I thought too much about virtual memory. But IBM famously never used the term memory, but called it storage. So VM probably only referred to Virtual Machine. So their first virtual machines including all during 360 era

I don't think virtual memory existed on the 360. The unofficial OS provided to some important customers dissatisfied with the nightmare delays in OS/360 was CM/CMS. Maybe the CM/CMS command line experience was already ra

Yes, CICS came to my mind. But CICS is not an operating system, it needs one to be run AFAIK. The Wikipedia article says it runs under VM/MVS or VM/VSE. OS/360 was discontinued. MVS is listed as one of its successors. So I be

I was a trainee in an IBM lab nearly 40 years ago. All developers including myself worked using VM/CMS. That I remember for sure. With production workloads I had nothing to do, so I am not sure what was the most commonly used OS. Prett

by usr1106 3y ago
VM/370 is something like a hypervisor, CMS is a single user operating system mostly for development tasks. In production other operating systems were used, maybe MVS? Not sure whether it worked already like this in the 360 area.

Thanks for your reaction! Criticizing was easy, doing it better requires some thinking... Maybe something like: Openbsd's xz port maintainer looks at the build stages of the malicious code I needed to reword the phrase in the article

It could still be put behind a "posixly correct" flag nowdays. Other tools do that, too, where the standard makes no sense (in today's world).

When looking at a Linux kernel build problem last week I noticed how gmake still tries to handle SCCS by default. So if another level of obfuscation is needed for the next supply chain attack it is ready to be used.

Title violates HN submission guidelines. The text is well-written, at that summary level necessarily leaving out many complicated details of the real "mess", but also all of the social aspects.
