GNU reimplementations showed up late enough not to care about running in a 64K address space.
>Is macOS UX actually well thought out to begin with?
To begin with, yes. The decline only started around ten years ago.
It's not the finger, it's the arm. Remember light pens?
Amazon chose for itself a reputation as a place that nobody with a choice will work. I'm pleased to see that pay off.
From the README, this is a collection of names, not a prescriptive proposal for definitive names. Walk over to your local hardware store's paint section and you'll see the same hundreds of names for off-white variations.
Still dark for me (Firefox 158.0 on Linux)
Hypothesis: Weighted to the postwar western fashion of amplifying Enlightenment self-critique into self-sabotage. What if you ask the same question in Mandarin?

They don't mind; it's a targeted market fit. They have Instagram and WhatsApp for other demographics.
The management class is certainly itching to ditch the remaining nerds.
There's always a silver lining!
The POC video did have an anime catgirl. Maybe we're finally getting the cyberpunk dystopia we were promised.
Already, including backports to 7 and 5.
I see Debian has packages.
5.6.40-104+0~20261021.134+debian12~1.gbp7401dd
7.4.33-31+0~20261021.121+debian12~1.gbpe9c428
Debian has a new build of 7.4 at least.
Two minutes before the announced 1400UTC? Or have I forgotten how to math?
You write sixteen lines, and what do you get?Another PR and technical debt.

For a wide variety of usecases, not for every isolated usecase. Today, AVIF is better for showing people ads^W^W^W web content delivery. This article is titled “JPEG XL vs. AVIF for web use-cases”. The other article recently discussed¹ is subtitled “Investigating JPEG XL's place as a Web image codec” and ends:
> JPEG XL isn't useless; it is genuinely compelling technology for use cases beyond the Web.

(Either way, can we agree to take webp out behind the barn?)
We're all stuck writing COBOL now.
“I used to be a mathematics professor. At that time I found there were a certain number of students who could not learn mathematics. I then was charged with the job of making it easy for businessmen to use our computers. I found it was not a question of whether they could learn mathematics or not, but whether they would. […] They said, 'Throw those symbols out—I do not know what they mean, I have not time to learn symbols.' I suggest a reply to those who would like data processing people to use mathematical symbols that they make the first attempt to teach those symbols to vice-presidents or a colonel or admiral. I assure you that I tried it.” — Grace Hopper
Fortran (before 90) ignored characters after column 72 because the IBM 704 had a 36-bit word and read each row of a card into two words. (The card reader could be wired with a plugboard to select any 72 of 80 columns from the card.)
My second university co-op placement, which led to my first real job of 16 years, included writing a FORTRAN 77 compiler front end. It's crazy by modern standards; in some cases you have to see as far as the second-last character of a multi-line statement to determine what kind of statement it is.
Other way around. I–N were integers rather than float because mathematics convention uses i, j, … as indices and n, m as sizes or counts.
Customers' desires are a nuisance, but if you ignore them long enough they go away.
Yeah, Unicode shipped 35 years ago. If you want a ≠ then use a ≠.

Eh, that'll take care of itself when the sump pump loses power.
I guess I've skewed the totals a little, but the site agrees that the digits of π are random.
