Prices are not an issue for Switzerland, given that the tariff on pork from Germany, for example, is 347 CHF per 100 kg.

Latin was the standard language of the Roman-Catholic Mass until the Second Vatican Council in the 1960s. The current form of the Mass in national languages was formalized in 1970.

But does it really matter what the details were? The most important thing is that the standard published in 1963 was 7-bit. I mentioned that the 1963 version did not include lowercase letters. The (unpublished) 1965 version, mentioned on th

In general, I agree with your conclusions. However, I found it interesting that this document made no mention of ASCII or other 7-bit character sets. Especially since the first version of the standard (X3.4-1963, no lowercase) was already s

In this document [1] dated 1967-68, on page 8, IBM mention 8-bit character sets only: their EBCDIC and the "8-bit extension of the 7-bit code" proposed by ISO. Because eight rather than six bits are used to represent a. character

That's not the only reason. On-screen keyboards take up valuable screen space.

IIRC PDP-11 was a 16 bit word machine with an 8-bit byte. Maybe you remember PDP-10 with 4x9=36 bit words?

If you don't like JIT/JVM there's GraalVM Native Image. https://www.graalvm.org/latest/reference-manual/native-image... In the past you could use e.g. Excelsior JET.

No, AFAIK the author is German and his nickname is stein (stone).

No, the author isn't an "OpenBSD person".

Does it boot from the card? Is there an installation guide available somewhere?

What about registration plates? Do they make you feeling like a slave?

How about running many tasks on the machine at the same time?

How is "performance" defined? Does it take into account the amount of memory required in each case?

Lines aren't too long. They look great on all my devices. Use ⌘ + + until you get the line length you like.

Those are not terminal shortcuts. They are program shortcuts. E.g. bash supports Emacs command line editing shortcuts using GNU Readline library. But the library (and bash) support vi mode editing too. POSIX sh(1) specifies vi-mode command

That's why it's so complicated, and has left and right parentheses commands. You start out with a clean concept and then sort of accrete guano. It lands on you and sticks and you can't do anything about it really. But of co

To clarify, I do agree with you that C and C++ have been two distinct languages for a very long time. And C++ doesn’t have much in common with POSIX. What I disagree with is the idea that C++ was developed completely independently of C (and

As for the third example, note that the programs discussed here (arguably TUI) are unlikely to work on this type of terminal. Unless the program has a built-in mode that allows it to run in true command-line mode (arguably CLI). Just like v
