The fact that people care a lot about Unix clones is significant, though. nine_k could have been more effective in arguing the point, but it seems like a strong point to argue. Do …

On a system of that era, some scenes look far smoother with the GUS than SB16. With the GUS running, the CPU could focus on graphics because the audio was offloaded to the GUS. Thi…

Something that undermines the operating system angle is that emacs does not implement hardware drivers. All interaction with the computer go via system calls. Norton Commander cont…

What you say seems true. But a comment - there are more effective ways to achieve it than a bill of rights. Australia doesn’t have a bill of rights but does have decent due process…

I have built large systems on python that use classes, for more than ten years. I came to it from Java, ten years. As a rule, I avoid implementation inheritance. Occasionally I nee…

This is a rough history from an outsider: the original developers (“DevTeam”) went quiet, and would not take in new talent. There was some new talent in the community, and momentum…

For all your words, you have dodged the only question of my last post. By the late 80s, the wholesale sales tax was creaking at the seams. Toys were taxed at 24% but luxury goods a…

If not a GST, what do you think was the appropriate reform to the indirect tax system?

Howard/Costello era in Australia. Reagan 80s. Pinochet - fits your criteria. Arden is indefensible. She increased the size of government, decreased social cohesion via critical the…

"did exactly what you needed and nothing more" You can still do that. Build a config for openbox or dwm. While the wm still compiles you can ignore the fads.

Do you dislike type inheritance? Or only implementation inheritance? My view is that type inheritance is incredibly useful, both for single system programming, and rpc. Whereas imp…

"The only difference is how it presents itself to the switch (ie, says its a Cisco optic), not actual difference in performance." That's not the only difference. I have had situati…

Before I comment, a disclaimer about my small scale. I am running probably three hundred SFP+s running and less than five years of experience with optics. I don't have stock tracki…

Yes, Valve controls supply. That strengthens my point. Market makers do not control the supply of goods. They provide resting liquidity for pre-existing goods. Similarly, market ma…

Valve is not the market-maker here, they are the exchange.

Microserfs?

Without convenience it will not be successful as a common currency. It does not need convenience to succeed in other ways. For example, as a store of value.

I tend to run my tmux session for months at a time on my office workstation. When I remote in to that computer, I can type ‘tmux attach’ and all my context is there. I might have f…

Summary: The mainstream ear has changed. As a result, traditional choral compositions have become less accessible to mainstream audiences, but the form of choral music remains acce…

It is a terminal multiplexer. You will be able to find youtube videos. The gp is talking about a tool called gnu screen. If you need a more distinct token to search on try “tmux”.
