- Apparently, you don't urinate like the rest of us; humans are not a closed loop. Neither are most data center cooling facilities, but I think it's pretty clear that level of fact is wasted here.
- I'm told 65XX cores were used as the basis for several hard drive controllers of the era
Western Design Center is still (apparently) making a profit at least in part licensing 6502 core IP for embedded stuff. There's probably a 6502 buried and unrecognized in all sorts of low-cost control applications laying around you.
RC5 on an 8085
Oof. Well played.
- I feel like materials science could learn a lot more about radiation embrittlement and high energy micro impacts.
They do those experiments on the ISS: https://www.nasa.gov/materials-international-space-station-e...
- and now the new TV show
I actually enjoyed the series, much as I went in assuming I wouldn't. It works best if you pretend you've never seen another Alien franchise but read a summary of the first 2 movies.
- So "not being a dick" really does need an explanatory framework in your world (and an elaborate one, with mostly irrelevant detail). That's.......a shame.
- Film industry, too, as I understand it. Pretty much every production is set up with it's own LLC.
- I read the T&Cs so I know things like "you need an actual address" before committing my money. YMMV.
- Yes, I think most of us are clear that seL4 isn't Unix. But people continue to complain that anything with a Posix layer is Unix-like, and therefore somehow 'bad'. My point was that virtually everyone who complains about this never, ever explains what would have been better to implement, just that it should have been different.
- Yeah, once again you (you, pjmlp specifically) have missed the point. But thanks for explaining the obvious (once again).
- Does "I'm just not going to be a dick to these people for ultimately trivial reasons" really need an explanatory framework in your world?
- I was sold on greyscale (2-bit) on the NeXT. I ran many NCD Xterminals back in the day, and the greyscale ones were awfully nice.
I do have a radiology setup I use for writing sometimes, but yeah it's not a general purpose solution. I didn't think about it being the white point so thanks for pointing that out.
- At least someone hasn't complained about it being 'unix like', always without defining what the non-unix-like OS they want would look like, or where the software to run on it would come from.
- Could have been done for fun. You wouldn't understand.
- Look up James Gosling and get back to us. I'd especially be interested in hearing how your undoubtedly superior experience would result in a more successful language. I'm sure you can vibe code something up.
- I understand your tiers just fine. You are misunderstanding what "cross platform" means. Or rather, you're trying to redefine it to mean "what Rust supports, in the way we want to support it, on the few architectures we care about, because in our view nothing else of value exists".
However most of the embedded world uses ARM chips
My point exactly.
- The CO closest to me was turned into condos. A friend was the general contractor. It was by all accounts a nightmare.
- Z80 mode to run cpm
8080 mode, not Z80. Did run CP/M, and I used 22nice for probably longer than needed. Unfortunately over time lots of cool software assumed a Z80, sooo...
Xenix was just pollute and delute - system V with some BSD thrown in
Which Xenix? It was originally V7 based, and 'upgraded' to System III around version 3. I forget what it looked like between version 3 and version 5.x, where it became System V based (+ stuff).
- Yup. And I like the implication that Rust is 'cross platform', when it's 'tier 1' support consists of 2 architectures (x86 & arm64). I guess we're converging on a world where those 2 + riscv are all that matter to most people, but it's not yet a world where they are all that matter to all people.

But if you think that's bad, you haven't seen the name change shenanigans Microsoft pulls in Azure.
