I mean did he try to just daisy chain them? He claims that he wanted to use DisplayPort 1.4 for connectivity. But the monitors do support daisy chaining over thunderbolt, and he also states that. But why not daisy chain? I mean I get that i

IBM getting involved in something is usually a death sentence. Initially they might inspire hope. But they'll turn everything into a horrible mess lacking those polishing touches that makes stuff nice to work with. They'll tick fe

I've done COBOL based web stuff on the IBM i/AS400. Nothing particularly tricky about it, wouldn't really recommend it for anything super complex. But it's less of a hassle then the various "tools" that's

SEU, the built in editor on the iSeries/IBM i, is however rather shitty. It does actually do some linting, but no syntax highlighting and the 5250 interface never really got improved as much as 3270, so its 24x80 or 27x132. Granted you
