Back in 97, javascript was little more than a toy language for making animations in websites.
Whereas today it's a toy language for making "immersive content" websites more annoying.
In honor of CP/M's 40th birthday, the [PL/M] source code for a very early version from 1975, and three later versions from 1976, 1978 and 1979 are being made available for non-commercial use.
LOL -- and a bit of Digital Research cluelessness from the past as well.
systemd allows distributions a better default experience.
If it were simply a case of being a DEFAULT experience, there wouldn't be all this hue and cry. Systemd insists on being the ONLY experience, indeed, the ONLY way of *thinking* about init. Its tendrils are *everywhere*, and spreading every day. And as for applications, the NOTION that an application has a dependency on which init system is running is enough to have Dennis Ritchie (and most admins) spinning. The 'two factions' argument comes down to laptop users saying "faster boot times!" and server admins saying "who cares?". As for VPSs, (or daemons, for that matter) how often do you start/stop them that faster boot times becomes an issue?
