One of my university professors wanted us to program using DrJava, so of course Java 8 it is.

Why did he want to use that? Because it was similar DrRacket, which he made us use in the previous term to program Scheme (which is just lisp for teachers). Of course that was just us being all modern and such, he himself used DrScheme, the deprecated precursor of DrRacket.

This guy is so old that my high school Systems teacher had him as her university professor.

He has a fancy current gen MacBook Pro that he uses for his stuff. Then when it’s lesson time he whips out a windows 95 netbook and a daisy chain of adapters from VGA to thunderbolt.

I was weird and still got the pyramid scheme DM. What about it?

What you have in America, I don’t live there. But yes, I do, just a bad one. And if you believe in this meme I raise you another one: would you consider Kim Jong Un a democratically elected leader?

No, the People might just be stupid. You see, many people are gullible and get convinced easily by rallies of some rich politicians. Sometimes, they might even believe that one day they will be as rich as them, and so they see something good for the rich as something good for them. But, unless the people are threatened to vote, or the polls are manipulated, it’s still democracy

“Democracy” has nothing to do with “free healthcare” or any of those things listed. Democracy only means that the citizens vote. They can vote for stupid/bad things but it’s still a democracy. Similarly, a dictatorship that does some good things is still a dictatorship

How is any of those a prerogative of democracy?

If only…

Those are POSIX acls, and they suck

We could have had NFSv4 ACL, of which windows ACLs are a subset. In fact, every other unix os did… Except for Linux, they decided it didn’t fit well to Linux. And so we are stuck with UGO permissions, and posix ACLs.

I pronounce it spelling out only C H, but spelling them in my native language, so it sounds like “chee akka mod” and of course the same goes for “chee akka own”

It works because of triangles. Just start drawing some diagrams and you’ll quickly figure out how on your own. Which is more fun than having someone give you a geometric proof.

Try it. Look at a mirror and put a ruler on the mirror, the size of your face on the mirror will always be the same, no matter how far you are. It will be half the size of your actual face.

When you see your own face in the mirror, no matter how far you are, the portion of the mirror showing your face is always half the size of your actual face.

The hardware still needs to be brought up and initialised. But the software is the real problem here. The kernel gets fully up in seconds, but then you have to initialize the rest of the OS

The pc ecosystem is modular by design. The kernel will figure out itself the available hardware, moreover there are only two major CPU manufacturers (in the pc space of course), which means you have only two platforms to support.

Mobile phones instead are not modular, they use SoC. While most common socs are from Qualcomm and mediatek, there are a lot more smaller manufacturers. Plus, even if most often they use the same reference design for compute cores, the rest of the soc is often custom and wildly different from others. All of this to say that the kernel needs to already know exactly how the specific soc of the device works, instead of figuring it out on the fly. Which is why you need to check compatibility.

The brick thing instead is because the bootloaders in these devices are usually very locked down, so sometimes you need to replace the bootloader with a more open one, with all the risks that this entails
