Jurassic Park. Though at the time I suppose it could have been a more direct Unix descendant.

Wayne’s World 2 (yes there’s a 2) Garth talks to a girl about the Unix book she’s carrying.

Antitrust, but that’s kind of cheating

In the Iron Man movies his server cluster is a couple of Oracle racks, so probably running either Solaris or Oracle Linux.

Better than Smeagulls I suppose.

Milkman. It’s simple and I’ve seen bugs where it hangs, but overall it works well, doesn’t require a login, runs local, is open source, supports postman import, and exports to a nice variety of formats

Honestly with the clothes I thought it was a star trek away mission.

Gladly!

I’d pay to see that fan cut.

No idea how I’m supposed to take this ranty blog needlessly interspersed with furry cartoons seriously. But it’s basically just restating (poorly) all the same criticisms and alternatives written about here: https://www.latacora.com/blog/2019/07/16/the-pgp-problem/

The ‘real’ criticisms of PGP are that it’s old, it’s clunky, and it doesn’t support forward secrecy by design. None of that is invalid, but I think the importance of those points depends on the use case and user.

The alternatives given are myriad and complexity and clunkiness are interspersed between dozens of solutions instead of well understood and documented in one tool.

That isn’t a superior approach. I’m not arguing that PGP is perfect, but it’s absolutely asinine to suggest (like this blog and others suggest) that the solution is to use dozens of other solutions with their own problems and with less auditing.

If we’re going to replace PGP, we need to do it properly in a centralized library/toolchain. Breaking up the solution and spreading it around just magnifies the problems.

The “real meaning” of Christmas was getting the pagans on board with Christianity, don’t let anyone lie to you otherwise lol.

What the hell are you on about?

Who’s “we”?

But, sure, sometimes everyone is. And sometimes we’re not.

Nothing is black and white, and anyone who pretends otherwise is either a simpleton or is selling you something.

Refusing to meet bad actors with unified strength and yes, violence when necessary, only encourages more bad actors and actions.

This is a universal truth too many in our peaceful time have forgotten, and so the wheel is turning back towards authoritarianism and violence.

I’m not really a webdev, more backend or full stack at this point. I do know about C & C++ strong presence in firmware, OS, HPC, video gaming, and elsewhere.

But by the numbers there’s a lot more webdevs than any other kind out there, and that doesn’t even touch on NodeJS leaking into backend and elsewhere.

I really wonder about their methodology. JavaScript/Typescript is nearly ubiquitous in webdev, and has been making strides in the backend space for almost a decade now. No matter how you feel about it (yeah it’s terrible, I’ve been press-ganged into it this year) it’s a real force in the marketplace.

It’s super surprising to me it’s still behind C and C++.

I stand with my (forever) baby hippo Fiona.

What, no LaTeX?!

And “cake” is officially “hamburger”

Ah but you see, in the first sentence I was only pretending to be dismissive of the joke, because my comment had a second sentence (gasp), where I expanded upon the original joke with another observation of a particularly failed CPU architecture.

It is funny because I used verbal misdirection and a relevant reference from inside the community. And now it gets objectively funnier in my second comment when you make me explain it.

2015 latest revision with DDR3. That’s not living, that’s palliative care.

In all seriousness, OpenPOWER and Power9 look cool, but they’re still fighting to overcome the issues IBM and Motorola designed into the architecture. Fairly modern OpenPower9 example here https://www.raptorcs.com/

I feel like the author is being unnecessarily silly. The ancient ruined architecture could be PowerPC
