.NET was actually designed as a programming language specific to Microsoft Windows. Python was designed as a scripting language because perl tried to be a programming language and grew into an unusable mess. Python then mimicked perl and did the same thing, becoming a travesty of a programming language, IMO. So many bad design decisions trying to make it a programming language, ditto with perl.

He *expletive* co-founded General Magic with Andy Hertzfeld and Marc Porat, which was an Apple spinoff that basically invented the smartphone. Apple cannibalized their work for the iPhone and EDS for OnStar. You can watch the documentary about it on NetFlix and YouTube (look for General Magic).

Heh, they'll incorporate the latest FreeBSD changes and tout it a miracle in security. Actually, they can't, most of the subsystems are modified or rewritten and while there is some compatibility, trying to port C++ STL libraries to mac was pretty much impossible, at least OpenOffice said that, I didn't fully try it. I was told the same for OpenGL extensions and I found a way to do it (annoying, heavily modifying the header files every time they updated, but doable). I also frequently rebuilt OpenSSL because waiting 12 months for Apple to release an update was too big of a security risk for me. Note I haven't had a mac since like 2010, so 15 years behind. I have Linux and Windows boxes (I tried multiple times to build a hackintosh, but they all failed - one passed boot loader but failed due to too new of graphics card :p - Apple didn't support that card for 3 effing years).

Ha, yeah, nuclear powered spacecraft can do the trip quick, like 30 days, but beating public indoctrination of anti-nuclear is probably impossible. An ion drive (with a fast nuclear fission engine) was actually in Popular Science like 20 years ago, with 30 days to Mars, I'm actually applying to fast fission and fusion nuclear jobs, so I've done a ton of research.

A nuclear powered spaceship for this exact task was also in Popular Science like 20 years ago. It has nothing to do with the 1950s drop a nuclear bomb behind you to propel you faster, it was using a nuclear reactor to power an ion drive with a time to Mars around 30 days. Gen IV fast nuclear reactors may even speed that up. Russia has the advantage there, since the US government abandoned fast fission in 1994, but private companies may catch up (they are behind, BN-350-800 leads the US by far).

Especially on Windows, I've used 0 day exploits to take control of the machine, mainly for white hat purposes (sorry, college, more black hat then). One of my friends even got fired over white hat hacking and revealing security holes in the enterprise software we were developing and eventually whistleblowing when they tried security through obfuscation rather than fixing the problems. He sued and got like 6 million dollars.

On UNIX/Linux, it is mostly an admin problem. Setting up a web server that issues web pages as root, for example, then injecting code that gives me a root terminal. I exploited that on the same system as above, but I wrote a bug and recommended it not be installed to run as root and they fixed it instead of calling it out in meetings. My 6 million dollar error.

According to Snopes, this is actually true. I usually take his bullshit posts to be false, On that note, Donald used to support liberal causes, so as a moderate, I lol at him. I am super pro nuclear, so I agree with him and his cousin, I think he's a complete idiot other than that, You need to understand fast fission and fusion to understand my viewpoint, conventional nuclear is trash.

Lol, I can see that, but Romania was crazy western when I was there circa 2006. You could also see the Che Guevara posters everywhere, so maybe totally mixed. You all really hated Ceauescu and I get it, bankrupting the country to build a cathedral for his wife and government palace was probably too much.

But yeah, I have Russian online friends that are nostalgic for the days of Stalin, I have no idea why. They think Putin is the best (again, wtf). I've worked Open Source Software with those guys for years, I can't change them. I think it is Stockholm Syndrome, TBH.

They also believe their leader is a god, so suck some salt. I haven't met with anyone from NK, but have from SK.

They also haven't supported EXTs, and go 2-3 years before adopting them. 2-3 years in the graphics world is an eternity. Not that you can't use them, but I think about .1% of programmers actually know how, Writing your own headers based on then the released ones takes about 20 minutes, if you know what you're doing. I supported that for like 8 years before work took up too much time to support it

Please pick your favorite WebKit based browser, lol. Safari, Chrome, and Edge are built on top of WebKit forks.

It's simply designed to send all your sensitive data to Beijing and tell you it didn't. LOL, I have no idea, my last OnePlus was a 10 and I don't think it had an alert slider (at least while I used it).

Well, MacOS X is built on top of FreeBSD. I used to download and build updated libraries because Apple only updated them with major OS releases. That annoyed the hell out of me with graphics drivers, as they never included nVidia EXT and I had to basically write my own headers based on public ones for Windows. On that note, the graphics engine I worked on at the time was the only one I know of that supported nVidia extensions on mac, and it was free for anyone to use, even in commercial games (and it was, but I'd have to ask the main developer in Germany which ones, I mainly provided mac porting and developed/improved graphics technologies like an improved preprocessing step for Relaxed Cone Step Mapping).

I usually switch my shitboxes to Linux, YellowDog kept my PowerPC mac in use for 10 years as a web server.

He's not wrong, nuclear power is probably the one reason I oppose Democrats agenda. That said, I think Trump is a dumbfuck, so take what you can from that, lol.

Some modern designs can run without a containment vessel and can even be buried for 10+ years without refueling or engineer interaction. That is designs without reprocessing, like Russia's BN-800 (they abandoned reprocessing due to proliferation concerns - the US killed the whole IFR mostly on the same grounds).
