A process shouldn&#39;t have to give away the resources you don&#39;t need, but whatever you get your hands on you should be able to do with what you please.

They were both designed for individual hackers working together in a lab over a local network. <br/> <br/>&gt; Lisp people think Unix is ugly, GNU people seem to hate Unix and want to turn it into god-knows-what. So they assume because the lower level of the system is ugly (in their estimation) that everything from outside the tower is bad and lowbrow. <br/> <br/>People forget that GNU was a compromise. :ignutius: was a Lisp hacker through and through, he lived and breathed that shit for years. He didn&#39;t think Unix was particularly good, but it was important enough at the time to replicate for his system. His attempt at bringing a bit of the Lisp machine workflow to Unixen was Emacs. His initial plans for morphing the Unix design into something else were much broader, but by the time Linux won out that plan kind of went astray. The Hurd actually had some neat ideas. <br/> <br/>&gt; I really like Lisp but the thing that keeps me from reaching for it is that the designers hate Unix (because &#34;you&#39;re supposed to&#34; and &#34;there&#39;s no excuse for not having a&#34; and all of that) <br/> <br/>Sometimes I feel like a bit of an outsider among other Lisp hackers because I don&#39;t completely pull the wool over my own eyes. I like Common Lisp and Emacs &#39;cause they&#39;re the right tools for me, but preaching evangelism is a waste of time that just makes people hate you. It&#39;s like those old memes about SICP where the reverence for the book is stretched to its absurd extreme by making claims about &#34;achieving satori&#34; by the mere act of reading it. But this is apparently an actual part of Lisp culture, and they take it seriously. We can still learn stuff from our contemporaries; let&#39;s not get caught up in decades long culture war bullshit. I like Plan 9. It&#39;s a good design. When are we getting 9P over Chaosnet? 2025-04-08T20:02:56Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsgp47vxjc7snd5qqdtk8g92q9trcrtsfgh8p9he7etlr054jtnzugzypw8d9ekt35vuhmz4rgesmpsqws055hpq2zxcedua786meayzlsrykk992v In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqs89ave0ajex6f5d26tmf2yu79ykujdr3se9gddq963fqnsn0v7l3q8ht6dv'>nevent1q…t6dv</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>The part where he&#39;s talking about a hypothetical magic bullet that I&#39;ve never even seen applied anywhere. Now don&#39;t get me wrong, if it&#39;s a real thing then I&#39;d love to see it. But I&#39;m incredulous of the claim that it would have no overhead, or even be a good tool for the job. Afaik object capabilities are mostly an access control thing, which if you&#39;re running all of your processes under the same VM sounds like a fool&#39;s errand. And I don&#39;t get how that answers network-transparent storage and IPC; those bits don&#39;t just emerge out of thin air.

That is fine and free, but is a different philosophy to what is implied by &#34;free software&#34;. I have no issue with copyright when it is used to uphold one&#39;s right to copy things he comes into possession of, or preserve the authors within a derivative work. <br/> <br/>When morality is applied to copyright of things other than software, they often become different, though similar issues with their own nuances. For instance when you acquire and modify software that is free, you&#39;re under no obligation to share it with anyone. However, I also believe that free publication of all research should be a component of legal conduct for public scientific and academic institutions, and I don&#39;t think pharmaceutical companies should be allowed to operate while marketing proprietary research. 2024-10-01T06:55:43Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqs8vg2verke5xfwhpqxgm38js7jqzmlq7zp9r6cmtycl8cyajxh9jczypw8d9ekt35vuhmz4rgesmpsqws055hpq2zxcedua786meayzlsryp2lkk5 In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsx88uuyncsrxgslz6xdqlk5qsaypcm9fqx48p8xf9aw3ghjzrnskqxv4yy0'>nevent1q…4yy0</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>It&#39;s like the saying about how a lock only keeps an honest man honest: if software wasn&#39;t copyrightable/patentable (as it was for a period of time) then free software licenses wouldn&#39;t need to exist. <br/> <br/>The issue of copyright on software versus other forms of media, I think are mostly separate for this reason, since they emphasize freedom of use/reuse versus freedom of copying/sharing. <br/> <br/>Video games are also a grey area, since they both consist of software and media. I think it&#39;s a great thing when, for example game developers follow the example of Quake and release the code for their games freely. 2024-09-26T02:33:15Z
