When did junk like this start being called an operating system?

When did you get the idea that we're trying to please anyone? The type of people to scream about "wokerism" are not the folks we want in our community, conversely the people who sc…

After all of this hype this is the best they can do? This is the forefront company (arguable) of the forefront tech and no one can review slides before being shipped out? I think t…

There aren't really union filesystems per se, the plan 9 kernel provides unions through its namespace model. In my opinion part of the reason why the userspace tools can be as nice…

Yes you're correct, my apologies. There has been work on this going the other way as well: https://github.com/michaelforney/wl9 . But there's still a lot more than can be done. The…

Could you expand more on what you would like out of an "enterprise Plan 9"?

This has been done already: https://github.com/aiju/jsdrawterm

Sure, but the security concerns of that I feel are much less concerning than having multiple domain names with the same visual appearance that point to different servers. That has …

As the sibling comment has mentioned Unicode in DNS uses a punycode encoding but even further then that the standard specifies that the Unicode data must be normalized to NFC[0] be…

Normalization implementations must not strip variation selectors by definition. The "normal" part of normalization means to convert a string into either consistently decomposed uni…

I write a lot of code for 9front within 9front, all of which is done through the sam editor. While sam does have a powerful general purpose editing language, it doesn't do syntax h…

> Like all those magazine subscriptions make their money off ads. The idea that a business can't survive on its own is fine, no? This is not quite the same, if a single magazine st…

A lot of discussion in this thread is pointing out that chromium is a thing and that it would be hard for a company to properly fund a web browser without the backing of a tech gia…

I can't speak for OpenBSD specifically but I can speak to some of my thoughts in why an operating system continues to use C. Supporting a language ecosystem is not easy, the less "…

I didn't directly mention third party software but when I talk about the various levels of default software the implication is that those with less built in typically rely more hea…

Your link for 9front mentions that ssh2 is not included. This is because the code was rewritten and the program is now just called ssh(1). Other features of ssh are accessible thro…

There is a direct correlation between the amount of power exerted by a project like Debian over an upstream project, and the amount of effort and upkeep required in doing so. I thi…

What is said here in this blog I think is true, but it is only a single part of the perverted incentive puzzle. Folks up in the c suite have realized that they can just say they ca…

Why would the author of this repository make "wc2 - asynchronous state machine parsing" his header of his README if indeed wc2 was not by his own definition an "asynchronous state …

I was not treating "asynchronous state machine" as a noun, even if taken as a generic adjective it doesn't make sense in this context. What "other things" is this wc2.c doing while…

The "asynchronous state machine" name here is a bit strange, when searching for this term used elsewhere I couldn't find any formal definition what it is. Reading further in the RE…

This is spot on, the issue is not the mistake per se but in creating a code base that the team themselves are not familiar with. With some intern or team member generated code you …

I want to preface this by saying I only add little bits and bobbles, and a huge chunk of the heavy lifting was done by aiju. Most of my answer is talking about code written by them…
