…NeXTstep was built on mach and, although i’m unsure if any antecedents remain in macOS, it was certainly production-ready in its day; i remember a couple of decades ago there were stopgap versions of the HURD built on top of mach instead of their own microkernel but i thought that was only ever intended as a temporary workaround…
…i presume on that basis that sustained developer interest was its greatest hurdle, no pun intended…
edit: …is this the post-mortem you mentioned?..
…i’m absolutely ignorant of its current state, but every time i’ve checked in on progress of GNU/hurd over the past three decades, it still hasn’t matured into a stable production-ready platform: i’m not sure if that’s an artifact of technical viability or developer interest…
…i think pornhub’s leaving money on the table not starting a SFW video platform…
…do you ever smell things which nobody else notices?..
…my original aftershox aeropex eventually developed a stereo imbalance after about four years of daily (all day) use, but they were fantastic for a collaborative office environment where other headphones get in the way; i recently replaced them with shox openrun pro which offer improved bass response but are otherwise nearly indistinguishable (although i prefer the original UI voice)…
…of course they’re not high-fidelity headphones, but especially with the improved bass i find myself enjoying music in a way nothing short of speakers can replicate in a shared workspace; i just forget that they’re there more often than not…
…they make for transparently fluent remote conferences, too: it’s kind of funny, since i brought mine into the studio after the pandemic, they caught on and now half our office wears them…
…with the prevalence of clickbaity bottom-feeder news sites out there, i’ve learned to avoid TFAs and await user summaries instead…
(clicks through)
…yep, seven nine ads plus another pop-over, about 15% of window real estate dedicated to the actual story…
Take a bath. And get a job.
(but yeah, eleven is awful)
…i’m surprised pornhub hasn’t rolled out an all-ages video site…
…well i guess draft messages in outlook can make-do in a pinch…
…me, summer of `93, insisting that the world-wide-web would never catch on when we already have gopher: cut to fifteen years later, i’m hanging out with its author on second life of all places, and yeah, that never really caught on, either…
…open platforms matter…
…that’s the POWER model: the unit posted above is the consumer version with the SX chip, no math coprocessor and fewer function keys…
