…NeXTstep was built on mach and, although i’m unsure if any antecedents remain in macOS, it was certainly production-ready in its day; i remember a couple of decades ago there were stopgap versions of the HURD built on top of mach instead of their own microkernel but i thought that was only ever intended as a temporary workaround…

…i presume on that basis that sustained developer interest was its greatest hurdle, no pun intended…

edit: …is this the post-mortem you mentioned?..

…i’m absolutely ignorant of its current state, but every time i’ve checked in on progress of GNU/hurd over the past three decades, it still hasn’t matured into a stable production-ready platform: i’m not sure if that’s an artifact of technical viability or developer interest…

…my grandmother never drove in ninety-one years after suffering a siezure in her youth; now i work with a girl who does likewise…

…jordan cochran…

…no, salsa is mostly peppers…

…i relish saying canadia; it rolls so deliciously off the tongue that i can’t resist using at every opportunity…

…even powerhug?..

…then some damn fool invents the wheel…

…american residential houses are neither expensive nor slow to construct and 3D printed houses aren’t significantly cheaper nor faster: what’s expensive is land and infrastructure and what’s slow is permitting…

…rankine glowers in your general direction…

…metro!..

…american; when i learned to stick-and-clutch fourty years ago (driving fifty-year-old used cars) we still called it a standard transmission…

…we like to say that i married my wife because she drove a standard, but when she traded in my last hatchback the manufacturer only offered automatics in the new models; would’ve been a dealbreaker for me but she liked the car…

…print stills from primitive technology into a picture-book…

…the animated sequel released last week is very good!..easily on-par with an upper-tier episode from its best seasons, and better-produced, to boot…

…sadly, it may as well not exist for all the reaction i’ve seen posted online; i blame warner brothers’ release/pricing strategy…not even the lurker’s guide has bothered to update the film information, that’s how under-the-radar it’s been received…

…enjoy this summer; it’s the coolest one you’ll experience for the rest of your life…
