AFAIK, Galaxy was exclusive to Alpha, with no equivalent on Itanium, or any other platform.

Close. They bought the company that made it.

Same location, similar situation. I thought it was just me. At least twenty recruiters on my LinkedIn list, and not a peep since I toggled my 'Open to work' status weeks ago. Used …

> Dan Dobberpuhl was one of the original Alpha designers before he left DEC to start a chip design firm called P.A. Semi, which Apple bought in 1998 for its talent to work on their…

Probably an XQuartz (or whatever it's called now) issue.

Makes sense, given Rob Pike was one of Limbo's creators.

IIRC VSI never got the VAX stuff in the deal with HP. I don't think HP will ever bother to bring back the hobbyist program just for VAX, unfortunately. There are easy ways around t…

I "registered" for an Alpha license last week (I own several systems), but all I got was an email with credentials to access VSI's SFTP server, using a shared 'ACOMMUNITY' username…

MacFUSE isn’t even open source anymore, so it would likely involve Apple forking a version prior to the license change and maintaining that themselves.

Ugh. No, thanks.

Any good books out there on “modern” Java that somebody would recommend?

Unfortunately not a lot has changed since then in ServiceNow’s JavaScript situation. Still stuck on ES5 Rhino.

Illumos is from the System V family tree, as it is a direct descendant of OpenSolaris.

I’ve never heard anyone say “F stab” for fstab.

We'll surely need to pivot to a blockchain solution first.

Has any Darwin source release included ARM support yet? I thought they were still keeping this closed.

DO has supported FreeBSD for years now.

While the legislation introduced by the Australian government is certainly worrying and should never had been enacted, I've always operated under the assumption that if any governm…

FYI for anyone confused by this: Alpha and PA-RISC are two different architectures and vendors. I’m guessing the mention of Alpha in your comment was a slip of the tongue/brain, gi…

Sounds like they’re referring to characteristics of TempleOS that may have suited the original goals of the Raspberry Pi, which was to be a tinker-friendly device for audiences lik…
