Except no one wants to write drivers in Forth.

Have fun with libGL!

The deep irony is Windows has achieved its herculean backwards compatibility through dynamic linking.

Not because it'd be any good, but because it'd be cheaper for Microsoft.

RCS dying on the hill of DDR training blobs seems a bit ridiculous to me when the system is much better elsewhere. RYF in action!

people chose those things due to superiority, not any dogmatic reason. i.e. wordpress was there and does what you expect it to. (besides, linux displaces windows on the server, but not on the desktop for reasons.)

imagine an alternate universe where wikipedia was a ghost town devoid of information, but hey, it's open!

just because someone is a dev (even a good one) doesn't mean figuring out IRC is worth their time

disclaimer: i have 80 buffers in my irssi session, but i know why most people aren't me

just PowerPC assembly before, but mostly on a much smaller scale (RE or writing basic blocks)

they don't need BT, but rather, you can't let the VM manage its own PTEs. virtualbox lets you configure that - just turn off nested paging. vmware unfortunately doesn't do that. if you can get the VM booting in safe mode, flipping the safety options from system properties perf button might help too. (I will say ME runs fine where 98 doesn't. weird!)

VMware still supports it, it just uses an old version of Tools to do so.

that page is a bit outdated; i do know VBox has changed for at least devices like SVGA, so I think it's possible. that said, i don't use vbox, so i can't say for sure

I'm perfectly happy with Preview.app; I'm curious what's not working for you?

Most of these apps are just dipping mustards around HOTP/TOTP, so it's a standard protocol. There's an ecosystem of standard applications around it; Twilio, Microsoft, and Google all make pretty popular ones.

I think you underestimate a lot of the APIs for a platform and how they influence an app; Cocoa provides a lot for an application; for example, it can provide a lot of the structure for a document related app in terms of i.e undo/redo, window management, etc.
