    That would be good. Oracle did a fair bit of kernel development for Solaris 11.0 (roughly when they closed down OpenSolaris) and later. illumos development seems to be mainly network and disk drivers with an acceptable (though often dated)...

    Just 15 years ago, Linux didn't have anything like this. And if it did, it was somewhere deep and fragmented. For me, Linux has completely exhausted itself as an adequate system. I no longer have time to read Linux news deeply and thoughtfully...

    Between /bin/sh and perl, there is awk. It is actually quite a bit more effective than most people think. Some example functions. My general language scale tends to be: /bin/sh -> Awk -> C/C++

    Coming from Linux, I used to use bash. But since I've been using BSD (FreeBSD and OpenBSD) more often for a while now and I don't want to have to install bash on every system, I preferred to adapt my scripts. Your answers confirm the usefulness...

    Jobs really had the whole thing already developed and a proof-of-concept machine already launched with NeXT when Apple brought him back in, so he had a real story to tell and a code base already in place. The man knew what he wanted. NeXT was...

    With apologies, Void Linux is a serious distribution, far from broken, far from unfinished. Not a very popular one, but I would rather use Void than anything systemd. Probably the closest to FreeBSD, if we ignore Slackware. My two cents, I might...

    Forgot entirely about dhclient.conf. It's been a day. Thanks for pointing that out! Brain is full zombie atm EDIT: Unfortunatley that doesn't seem to do it for me. Will need to go the VM route until I figure this out properly

    Whoewer decision this was, this is definitely what shaped Apple to become the giant behemoth that is today, for better or for worse. One of the most important decision in the IT world in the past fifthy years of so for sure.

    Hi bakul - don't sigh :). rm -vxw ocd-data/ would sit and sit and sit and never print a thing: I don't know if the problem was because of trying to buffer the list, or some other reason. rm... never showed excessive RAM usage in top/htop, but...

    Noooo Don't give in. For all we know the delete would work if you execute it on a server with -say- 256 GB RAM. If you don't have a spare computer with that much RAM, there is an easy way to do it. Rent a AWS EC2 machine with 256 GB, export the...

    Yeah, my thoughts exactly. They absolutely needed Jobs to come back when he did, they were teetering on the brink of oblivion, with no vision and a muddled product line. And basing MacOS X on a robust, mature UNIX-like OS was definitely a better...

    AFAIK _theoretical_ limit is 2^24, but for single process that uses the default C run-time libs limit is 512. Just checked net config server on Win10 Pro and Maximum open files per session 16384, but that’s for net connections

    You would think many Microsoft projects have more files than FreeBSD. But maybe Windows does indeed have a dynamic maxfiles.
