Once upon a time, tens of thousands? of geeks used /. GP has a 4 digit UID - probably remembers.

Once upon a time, a server might have a hard time dealing with a whole lotta users hitting it all at the same time. Now a pi could probably do the job.

Once upon a time, a /. user might have looked up the site.

nslookup and whois seems to show that this is cloudflare hosted. I'm pretty sure this wasn't the /. effect - unless they moved the server. Seems more likely it was a misconfiguration.

Yeah - like my dishwasher. I hate that. When the power is out it doesn't work at all.

He mentions why it looks old on the home page, point number 12.

OK - I did my ada coding in college in about '89. I bailed on college for ObjC - whose syntax I will always think of as

[some_instance do_thing_with: another_thing, and_something_else: whatever]

I sadly left ObjC for java around 2000 and happily left java for ruby around '10? So I'm pretty far out of the loop. Complex dot syntax for ObjC? Blech.

Thanks for the response!

I'm confused by this statement. In what way does Ada use Obj-C style syntax?

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

Why so expensive? Is it "simply" that it takes a whole lot of energy?

More for me!

Seriously - it's not here, yet. Well, a few pounds in a few places. But when the heck are they going to scale up?

I dunno. Wikipedia tells me "Design for the USB-C connector was initially developed in 2012 by Apple Inc. and Intel."

So maybe they did a little?

You let your women drink!? Pretty sure that makes you the guilty party.

Not sure why someone marked you a troll. Anyway - county-wide ban is a bit broad. I think it's true for chains with 5 or more stores? But every small restaurant still uses plastic bags.

In public at that time. But later --

"Rhapsody represented a new and exploratory strategy for Apple, more than an operating system, and runs on x86-based PCs and on Power Macintosh."

Actually, OpenStep was licensed UNIX. So, legally it was UNIX. But that's just legal pedantry. NS and OS were unix in all the ways that mattered. As is MacOS. They ran all the unix tools (some version or another). They did TCP/IP. Hell, they even ran X11 if you wanted to.

My father once asked me if linux was unix. Almost the same answer - legally it was not, but in every way that mattered it was. What's more, it was going to win (the unix wars).

In a sad way, MacOS and linux are the tied losers of the desktop world. I don't even know offhand what "legally branded UNIX" there is any more. Does Oracle sell some flavor of branded UNIX? You can argue that linux is more unix than MacOS - and that's fine - I'm not going to argue it. But I use MacOS because I like unix and I don't like windows and I do like having a nice desktop experience.

When they load you into the trains, Iâ(TM)ll be taking photos to feed my Ai so folks never forget.

Until the next generation of you calls for censorship and forced speech.

Misinformation is free expression, comrade.
