I would love to see a comparison between scp and wcp over NFS, more specifically large single file sizes, if folks are looking to discern more performance parameters.
Yes, unfortunately current manufacturing practices forced them to switch over to Chinese clones of the Cherry MX. I'm writing this on their late 90's Cherry MX Blue based keyboard (which I'm lucky to still use) which were switched over to the cheaper Chinese switches in the last decade.
That's what seperates them both, it's not about immediate formal checking from a compiler here, but rather if our proof is being justified adequately according with the rules of deduction and reasoning, it's a more intuitive approach in math, although you do end up knowing whether something is right or wrong, akin to programs.
Whoa at the work hours, if you don't mind me asking, just curious to know what kind of work entails such long hours? Also I'm assuming it paid equally well for the time devoted to it, frankly the hours itself is a big turn off regardless of the quality of work.
Wait, saying both C and UNIX aren't small and beautiful seems like one major oxymoron. Care to elaborate on those?
IIUC, both of them were created in a small and concise design to perform tasks that most systems of the time failed to hold up to. In fact, the very reason they've endured such long time spans must be enough proof of their beautiful concise yet efficient design. Take any language or operating system today, they just cannot design them without some inspiration or functionality derived from C or UNIX.
Complexity today is insane, take Linux for example, but the darn thing works! The original UNIX was the exact opposite of today's major operating systems in a way, which was designed to perform tasks based on the UNIX philosophy. Linux or any other OS today take complexity to levels the creators of UNIX never foresaw and is one of those aspects they wish today wasn't done. But the world itself has changed since the 70s, and so has Linux too, evolved into having thousands of system calls, whereas the original UNIX had 20.
Yes, but he isn't exactly wrong about it either, and sure it seems as though it has really affected him, but Apple too need to take a look into their near past, and introspect things. Sure, they seem to be suddenly overcompensating the Mac fans by launching things out of the blue like the new Mac Pro or the iMac Pro, but with no real incentive to the average user to upgrade into their desktop hardware anymore, for one the price tag itself would turn off desktop enthusiasts who would prefer to either just build their own rigs, or go for other tower vendors, and moreover the latest Mac hardware just doesn't offer anything remarkable for their prices other than premium aesthetic looking machines that one would assemble themselves. Sure, people trash the trashcan Mac Pro but it was something truly original at the time and still maybe. And the same goes for the Macbook Pro line.
wcp is good stuff!
