First edition of the The Java Programming Language was 333 pages. The fourth, and likely last is 928. Talk about foreshadowing what would happen to the language 😞

Microplane Zester. So... you smell of elderberries?

Not sure I buy that. My limited understanding of compilers is high level language -> intermediate machine-agnostic representation -> machine-specific assembler code. Assembly is always there.

I had to restore the SourceSafe "database" from tape about once a month for a job I had early on. Yes, that would erase weeks' worth of the whole team's work. I think people kept local copies. Good luck when your workstation's hard drive fails! The back end was based on the Abcess DLL, if memory...

There are 21 posts mentioning Xlibre in this 123-post, 5-page thread. Five of those 21 are by you. Wayland is probably mentioned more, though I didn't bother to count those. Edit: and one of the 21 is a post explicitly pointing people at the proper thread to discuss it.

Yeah, that was bad, though it introduced me to three-way diff and I never looked back. Did you ever have the misfortune of having to use Microsoft Sourcesafe? I guess I'm the lone Git fanboi here. I'll do my duty and represent. I led the migration away from SVN and to Git at the startup I was...

I admit I haven't been around much lately, but haven't seen any of these advertisements. Got links?

Another satisfied Void user here. If you have to do Linux, you can't do better.

Yeah, but I kinda like that individual. https://www.waterfox.net/blog/#no-ai-bullshit

This was all Apocalypse Now AFAICT. They even shouted out Conrad's Heart of Darkness. Great book.

I chose better ioctl coverage because it seems some folks in this thread would find it useful and it's the most Freebsd-specific thing that would not be a ton of work. lldb server: much as I would like to be rid of GNU tools, this one seems like a lot of work for not much reward. fair...

Oracle is often the worst thing that can happen to any given {technology, company}.

It's an amazing tool, and we have Mr. Dr. Floyd to thank for Freebsd support. I've used it for basic crash debugging, albeit not recently.

I really have no idea. Help me choose.

Twice as many. And there are four times more cows than humans. Yes, that's 8 sheep per person.

Getting warmer. Another factoid that'll eliminate Australia and NZ (and Botswana). We've won the World Cup twice, though the last one was a long time ago.

Trick question. More than one country has those demographics. You nailed New Zealand, though.

The Jamestown Colony predates it by a decade. In my country of origin there are more sheep than cows, and more cows than people.

I tried, and utterly failed to set up NFSv4 with Kerberos on my server some time ago. I'll be following this with interest. Why? Because setting up Samba with central auth is ridiculous.
