…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?..
…the original compact ford ranger was a great little truck!..the midsized replacement forsook its charm, though…
…i’m not even sure who makes compact trucks in australia anymore, but they’re not sold stateside…
…no, that’s just the common american pickup: monster trucks are much larger…
…polar bears are white grizzlies…
…that mercedes wagon is legitimate…
…problem is that manufacturers are discontinuing cars to focus upon SUVs + trucks…
…registration fees should be proportional to GVWR and speed limits (and fines) should be based upon kinetic energy…
…minivans are fantastic purposeful vehicles and probably what one-quarter of SUVs should be driving; the other three-quarters should be driving cars if they hadn’t been swept up in the road-tank arms race…
…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…
…i mean, let’s be fair: voyager set the bar so low the franchise nearly fizzled-out in its wake and arguably never recovered…
…my grandmother never drove in ninety-one years after suffering a siezure in her youth; now i work with a girl who does likewise…
…i think pornhub’s leaving money on the table not starting a SFW video platform…
…yeah, and despite marketing to the contrary they’re still all crap at reproducing incandescent spectra, even the ultra-premium cree bulbs…
…good seats have run about $1000 / pair after fees + parking since before the pandemic…
…i’ve always advocated against voting as it only serves to legitimise the electoral outcome, but the republican party finally forced my hand to vote in 2020, for which i’ll never forgive them…
…northern kentucky still northern kentucking, looks viable…
…twenty-five years ago fiji tasted heavenly, then something changed around 2003 and it’s never been the same…
…i stocked up on several hundred high-efficiency incandescent (short-life halogen) bulbs the week before retail sales were banned completely, which should last me about three more years despite their pitifully short lifespan compared to traditional (previously-banned) incandescent bulbs…
…while LED lighting’s improved over the past decade and admittedly surpasses notchy-as-fuck compact flourescent bulbs, i can only hope that LED technology evolves further to offer less-abhorrent spectra by 2028, elsewise i’ll be seeking black-market imports after my reserve incandescent bulbs are exhausted…
