  • So my mentor's mentor used to program for some ancient TI machine that used drum memory. He was a master of his craft and wrote his code deliberately so it would physically align with the next rotation of the drum, ensuring the fastest reads possible, and it cut tons of time off of every process run on them.

    I can't even imagine what it is like to even write naked binary, let alone make sure every single one of my operation sets are the same length.

    Arguably it was perfect optimization.

    He still got laid off with zero thought when the time came.

    I's there a lesson here? I don't know, I'm drunk

  • No it was a shitty OS with very VERY little hardware support,

    and he built it because the voices in his head told him to build a temple and he was too lazy to be a carpenter.

    Have you actually installed it? Because I have. It's BARELY an OS

    The 'security' mumbo jumbo is mainly to cover his networking incompetence

  • Ok I'll just go grab some sand and refine it into silicon then bake my own chips then code my own kernel and OS and applications because that's the only way to 'control' it.

    Companies need to be held to regulatory standards about our private data, and the ONLY reason those regulations don't exist is because every FUCKDAMN politician in the world was born before TV had color
