They don't. They fly by. Like New Horizons did with Pluto.

There can be control flow. MOV an address into the right spot in the interrupt vector table then do a MOV that causes a fault that calls the right interrupt (such as a page fault).

I'm so sorry about your cat. You have my condolences.

It's going to hurt. Real bad. But you will come through. Life is precious because it is hard, not because it is easy.

Be there for your cat. Let your touch, smell, and sight be what your cat remembers as they pass.

And sit with your grief. I'm getting teary-eyed just typing this as I remember doing the same for my little Abbi, a 14-year old Shih-Tsu mutt I euthanized over a year ago. And that's ok. It's ok to be sad. You will be sad. Cry, let it come out. Ironically, you will feel better than trying to "be strong" or hold it in.

A "spreadsheet" pre-dates computers. It literally was born from paper and pencil to record financial information and transactions in a ledger.

The innovation of the computer spreadsheet program is being able to put formulas in cells and auto-update and reference them elsewhere, all of which previously had to be done by hand (and with an eraser handy).

While I'm not familiar with Epic, large private companies I've been involved with in the past often have an internal market that has an independent auditor set the stock price and the company provides liquidity by authorizing a pool of money for buying and selling shares.

He says in the video that it is a "type of lymphoma".

I use 1Password's authenticator, so no-one needs my phone number, and I don't have to worry about losing my phone, as there is a Linux CLI, a browser extension, etc.

This should be an amazing discussion.

Not much, just that someone who is active is more likely to benefit from promotion and appreciate it, versus someone who, more likely, has gone on to other things.

Going through my subscriptions, it's sad to see so many with talent, even those with lots of subscribers, not having posted a video in years.

Here are some I subscribe to that seem to be still active. You could see if your audience might like:

Except that ST has open-sourced their toolchain, and their libraries [0]. I can write C or assembly code on my Linux laptop and get it on my ST devices without anything proprietary from ST.

Does there exist a catalog of these pioneering or best practice features, and bad features that should not be replicated? It might be worthwhile to have a tome of such for future language designers to learn from.

My first distro was Red Hat 5 as well. It is disambigous, it was called "Red Hat Linux version 5". Red Hat Linux went to version 9 I believe before it split into RHEL (Red Hat Enterprise Linux) and Fedora.

That's not really a failure of politicians, because politicians don't have medical expertise. They rely on the guidance of experts in the medical profession to steer funding. So it was a human failure perhaps, and as all allocation of limited resources has winners and losers. So blame the system, and human biases, but not the government specifically.

Because by paying a fee to Arm, they get decades of architecture experience, support, peripherals (including a well-thought-out internal BUS), etc.

RISC-V has a good ISA, but there currently isn't a lot of silicon experience in the real world (relative to Arm and Intel, for example). And Amazon isn't going to roll their own to that degree. It's not worth the meager licensing costs.

It's like the difference between deploying Red Hat Enterprise Linux and Arch Linux. Each has it's place, but right now its advantages are in much different areas.

Do you have links to his Mastodon and YouTube? Would love to follow him as well.

Just because you can, doesn't mean you should. Not everything that isn't illegal is ethical.

Unfortunately, no one buys subscriptions any more, and advertisers have moved to Facebook and Google.

The ad-based internet has conditioned people to expect free content, and the internet ad model incentivizes click-bait low quality content because it's easy to publish and provides a place to hang ads from.

Perhaps a reference to Australian health ministers asking fans not to touch soccer balls that go into the stands?

I think you pasted @MollyRocket in the middle of @SuperDeclarative to accidentally make @MollyRocketative and @SuperDeclar

And was what the Apple Lisa OS was programmed in.

Or the seemingly lost successor, Oberon. An entire graphical OS and compiler was written in, and completely documented, in a book: "Project Oberon: The Design of an Operating System and Compiler" [0]

Sure thing! I was on the client-side, and joined in 1995, when there was already a version 1 of the compression/connection piece. I started work and was lead on the search product.

If I remember correctly, we were developing on Windows 3.1 with Microsoft Visual C/C++ 7.0 to start and then moved to Windows 95 and Visual C++. We used Microsoft Foundation Classes, as well as Rogue Wave libraries (tools.h++ I believe).

We were funded by some guys who had made a lot of money in government software contracts (we were near a major Airforce base).

Here is a Google folder link with some scans of contemporaneous ads and press coverage:

I should say it was 3 years before RFC 2068 (2616 superseded).

When Microsoft came out with their extension, and then it eventually ended up in HTTP/1.1 (or at least some version of it), we pivoted to a primarily client-side product that offered read-ahead caching, metasearch (could perform a query on multiple search engines like Hotbot, Altavista, Infoseek, etc. -- this was pre-Google) and save and integrate the results. It would also then rerun those queries periodically and highlight new results, and you could save or bookmark.

We also used that search technology in a product that would monitor trademark use, which companies used to keep track of where and how their trademarks or brand names were being used. We never made enough to keep that side of the business running, while the web consulting/development side grew and grew. These were pre-2000 days when businesses were wanting to "get online".

This was true of Microsoft in the 1990's. Just ask Gary Kildall among others.

My personal brush with this was in a startup I was at 3 years before RFC 2616 (HTTP compression). We had developed a client proxy and server that would not only compress HTML pages but also bundle in a zip file all the images (TCP connection ramp up time was a thing) and it dramatically sped up page load on what was then a slow internet.

Microsoft came sniffing, on the pretense they were interested in buying our company or at least licensing. But then they ghosted us, and if I recall correctly, those features ended up in IIS and Internet Explorer as proprietary extensions, when Microsoft was trying to embrace and extend the web to beat Netscape.

I started with Red Hat 5 bought in a box in 1998 from Microcenter, compiled my own kernel with the original Gentoo, ran XMonad under Arch, and need both hands to count the number of distros I've used as daily drivers.

I have settled on Linux Mint. It just works, and looks good.

From one "filthy casual" to another...

How did you sell? What was your multiple? Did you use a broker?
