https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenCSW was a thing, but yeah go off

Young's "double slit experiment" ffs https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Double-slit_experiment

that would have required them to swallow their pride, and admit GNU tools were in demand, which didn't fit the marketing narrative.

I'm willing to bet they couldn't have done that because of the mind-boggling array of 1990s UNIX standards Solaris seemed to support. By the mid 1990s it was clear that the (platform-independent) GNU command line tools were generally superior to what was on Solaris, but presumably they had to keep all the old fossils around to satisfy their long-standing supply / support contracts with industry, defence, and government.

That was my guess back then, and it's my guess now. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong and you know for certain why.

look up allegory

it's a shit website with awful fonts, certainly

because people like you are too busy whining about it to put up something more interesting

watch apple launches from 1997 onwards

usual consultant guff from McKinsey. repo at https://github.com/mckinsey/quantumblack-design-system

usual disingeous HN response. Nobody except you is talking about history.

Today, the obvious communist societies are China and North Korea, with Vietnam, Laos, and Cuba perhaps the lesser-known of the bunch.

would actually decrease their income per device, but they would still make money on the device.

or are you saying apple devices are loss-leader prior the app store revenue ?

that's the model taken to the extreme

"implies"

> Given that this is HN, and a non-trivial number of us have ADHD, creativity is positively correlated with ADHD.

big pharma must LOVE people like you parroting the ADHD bullshit all the time

you make it sound customer-hostile

very much so -- same for UI components, which they keep changing for no good reason except to feel "fresh and new"

sounds like you are envious of their productivity. define "suspicious"

watch the whole video from the beginning! :-)

the size of the prepended data would rarely be an exact number of blocks such that it became purely a metadata update (see also: inode small file optimisation), and thus you would have a small "hole" in the file between the new data and the existing data, which would have to be bookkept safely.

once again, I get to cite the IBM AS/400 CallPath system demonstrated here https://youtu.be/5pY6Xxptp9A?t=2083 which almost brought a tear to at least one viewer's eye

3.x really

Spin up a Windows 3.11 and later instance to try this out.

dunno why this is being downvoted (check back in six months)

models being pulled in 3... 2... 1...

reminder of them coming soon!

SQLite is >< close to becoming the lingua franca for all next-generation ideas

why do you care?

is it your business? do you own it?
