Yes, that root is called NeXTSTEP, aka. everything Apple since they bought that and build everything they have on top of it.

That's what they did in the past as well. They never were CPU-bound. Regardless, it was wasteful and slowed down when the GPU got more taxed by all that BS, and then games and 3D apps ran slower as well, just from running UI compositioning effects in dormant apps in the background.

Since you're that young, I suggest looking at early noughties Apple Aqua UI stuff. Linux didn't even have a compositioning graphics system back then, and still doesn't really, it's mostly stuck in its 1980s technology of X11 limitations, and "standards". Standards don't change, but in particular dead standards like that don't change either, being stuck in the past's technological limitations. Can you even change resolutions on the fly yet?

Options make me laugh: They seldom can be cashed, and they usually must be given back when employment is terminated.

Gimme actual company stock instead.

It's more of some retrofuturistic Amiga SoC thing on a FPGA, not just a 68k CPU on that FPGA. I have one.

It'd be more analog to a 4GHz 386SX. A 4GHz 68030 would be like a 4GHz 486. A 4GHz 68040 would be like a 8GHz 486.

I recently attended a workshop on LinkedIn marketing tools. One interesting point:

While the site has long been a professional networking and recruitment platform, the pandemic gave LinkedIn management time to pause and ponder the bigger picture. Their conclusion: At the bird's eye view, LinkedIn constitutes a pool of white collar people, many of which are high earners. It therefore goes that the next step is to advertise high ticket events and products that match the estimated income level suggested by one's recent job titles and employers. Basically, it's slated to become social media for busy professionals with ads to match that market segment.

Considering how ridiculous its job search results already are, I fail to see how this will improve anything.

The money would have been better spent on redesigning the job search's user interface to be able to edit the filters for all job alerts in one page. Currently, one cannot edit the filters at all. Instead they must create a new alert with the correct filters and delete the old alert. I've randomly contacted their developers and even mentioned this to a LinkedIn Senior VP who visited a local event. They never fixed it.

If they were non-European, I can guarantee it would have been mentioned in the original stories many many times, since just a few decades ago, seeing a non-European in most of the European countries would've been a very special occasion.

Even if there were good reasons to use DST, it should be smeared similarly over let's say a month or so. However, there are no good reasons and although the majority of EU decided to abandon it, there was a couple of South-European countries not supporting it, so we couldn't get rid of it. It was also drowned out in the Wuhan flu epidemic, later known as Covid-19 due to the extreme lobbying by the CPP to shift the blame away from China even though the truth eventually surfaced, and things they campaigned on our media as disinformation turned out to be the actual truth.

I wish we'd finally end the dependency on legacy time keeping and just standardize on seconds for everything. We can use standard SI scale multipliers and if we want some fixed reference, we could use what our computers use, the Unix Epoch signifying the dawn of a new era counting from 1970-01-01 00:00:00.000 UTC onwards. In terms of formatting it compactly, I'd recommend base36 as the biggest standard base using just case-insensitive standard characters of 0-9a-z. My demo of it is here: https://sorsacode.com/base36cl...

Not sure what they are trying to achieve in the lawsuit, TBH. They've already fixed the model, so their prayer for relief can't be that. Damages? Doubt, given that it took some major backflips for NY to create the duplicates, and they were likely the only such dups... unless something turns up in discovery, I guess.

Perhaps there will still be a "Year of Linux on the desktop", once the desktop metaphor stops having any relevance. Apple probably goes for AR stuff in the long run. No idea whether Microsoft will be relevant as an OS vendor in the long run.

... they never think of laying off the management team and the board members.

Nothing new. Phages were fairly common in USSR and preferred over antibiotics for those very reasons.
