With Woz at the helm he would have worked on the Apple II architecture until the company went down, same fate as Commodore which didn't drop the Amiga and Atari which didn't drop the ST.

"The world got more benefit from c64s and vic20s"

I started coding in 1981 on an VC20, learned a lot from it, but wonder how did the world benefit more from vic20s?

As a happy smartphone user, I think the world did benefit a lot e.g. from the Newton (loved mine, dropped a Palm for it, sad it died, but it was too heavy).

Not another Steve good, Woz bad myth.

With Woz at the helm, Apple would have gone the way of Commodore and Atari, it's a good thing he got out.

Sounds like a disassembler.

"Writing secure C code requires discipline"

Ah the old, you're using the tool wrong.

Yes, perhaps, although a tool that no one seems to be able to use correctly, see kernel bugs, zero days everywhere, bugs in cURL by people who seem very rigorous and thorough, in google and microsoft products, etc. I'm not sure the tool is innocent in this. If the highest paid C developers in the world can't use it, who can?

Or the sales rep needs to make their quarterly numbers.

The situation is Russians invaded Ukraine, murdered, plundered, tortured and raped Ukrainians, and then Ukrainians, instead of dropping dead like everyone expected, fought back.

What led to it? Putin wanting to re-establish the Russian empire as he said and wrote many times about.

It's a mystery to me, Hitler wrote exactly what he wanted to do, he did it and people were surprised. Putin wrote exactly what he wanted to do, he did it and people were surprised. A mystery.

"Ukranians were murdering Russian people in Donbass"

Russia settled Russians in Ukraine to control/destroy it for decades (like in the Baltics, Georgia and in many different places, the usual Russian tactic). Then Russia instigated a civil war in Ukraine and finally invaded Ukraine in 2014, so there were fights in Donbass back then with deaths (Russia also shot down a Malaysian plane in 2014 from Donbass).

"Your weapons are murdering Russian civilians right now, but you don't care, why?"

Because those Russian civilians voted and supported a dictator who wanted and wants to invade Europe and re-enslave the population. And Russians loved it, they loved it plundering and murdering and torturing people in Europe before and they will again.

Russia encouraged Serbs to start WW1 because Russians wanted to invade Europe through their puppets on the Balkans, later invaded Europe in 1939 in a joint military operation with the Nazis/Germans and will do so again whenever Russians see the chance to do so.

I would prefer no war but a big wall, mile deep minefields and drone/ballistic/SDI defenses instead to keep Russians out and stop them from invading Europe again, but I guess Russia needs to first lose this war to make this a reality.

"the causes of war"

Simple, Putin talked about this for decades, you can read about it:

The goal is the re-establishment of the Russian empire in it's largest borders, beginning with his massacres in Chechnya and the invasion of Georgia.

For now.

80% - 90% of Russians approved the invasion of Ukraine in 2014 according to different pollsters. The assumption is they voted accordingly to make the second wave of the invasion in 2022 possible.

If - I assume there is - there is a post shared on HN about Israel and Gaza we can discuss that genocide there.

"Russian civilians are killed daily by the Ukranian drones"

Looks like Ukrainians don't believe in "turn to him the other cheek".

Thanks!
