At the time, I couldn't imagine how anyone thought that putting this sort of thing onto their flagship server OS was a good idea.
I realized about then that Windows was lost, MS didn't have the desire to promote it, and it became clear that their only real play was Azure and spyware.
How much more?
"100 presents for grandmothers 2019" is just web badfaith, sleazy internet pollution.
The language has added significant functional capabilities in the last 13 years...
In addition- just as with airplanes- when your life is on the line if a thing doesn't work, you're very conservative about change (oh please add a battery and electronics...)
Third- it doesn't solve a burning problem- if the market wanted it and without #1, it would be available.
This whole page is filled with "Doesn't apply to me, so go for it", which seems like a really bad rationale to apply to hundreds of millions of people, potentially.
I feel the need to sing, "You may have both.... you _may_ have both.... it's not so hard to imagine... MS even did it in certain products..."
For example, "Foobar v2 released!"- except, I have no clue what foobar is and I'm probably not the only one.
"Foobar- The Magnificent Music Player for Linux, v2 just released!" Would be way better.
[This explains explains it from an academic standpoint.](https://www.amazon.com/Questioning-Collapse-Resilience-Ecolo...)
Saying that they killed all the trees to help the moai get into place (or similar) is ridiculous.
In addition, the first reports from the 1720+ timeframe (first contact and there abouts) estimated the population at a few hundred iirc, no trees, toppled moai.
So gosshake, they didn't even put the stinking ESC in the same place, they had to indent it, ruining the billion times I've trained my hand to it.
Directly. But via parallel construction...
If only they knew what I know, and thought the way I do.
Those poor, poor dolts. May they find enlightenment one day.
Surely it will be the death of our nation if they don't.
Highly recommend it.
Also- this "printing" is really more a xerox of the original- and the "print" quality stinks. I got an older hardcover version off of amazon that was actually typeset and much easier to read.
A better title might be: "Nerves 1 released! Create bulletproof embedded software running on the Erlang VM"
It's reasonable to disagree.
It's probably a good idea for the penalties to be the same in society regardless of wealth.
"Gnu Mcon- a 100% compatible replacement for Vixie cron"
Would be a -way- better title.
HN seems to love to announce random products and updates without telling anyone who doesn't already know what it is.
"Gnu Squanchydoo v3 released!"
TF is "Squanchydoo"? No idea, not going to bother to find out...
