Mad C Skillz OEMG

I want to jump to the next level in C. I'm a quite skilled programmer for what I do, know the whole K&R but I feel like I miss something, especially about those weird techniques proPROgrammers use in OS dev and related. Suggested readings?

Hey, you idiots. Obviously once we run out of one-letter commands we can start in on the many-letter commands for less commonly used ones. ls, cd, rm, mv, cp, df,, and du, should become [m]l, d, r, m, c, f, u[m]. And maybe p for pwd.

Unix: it's a toy system that's not worth my time. Many of its "innovations" are just poor and late reimplementations of what already existed in Multics. (in b4 Project Genie, etc.)

>>48
multics had everything plan 9 has?
multics had zfs? hammer? ext4?
yeah, i didn't think so.

>>49
He mentioned Plan 9?

>>50
plan 9 is one of unix's innovations.

>>51
No.

>>52
Plan 9 from Bell Labs is a distributed operating system, primarily used for research. It was developed as the research successor to Unix by the Computing Sciences Research Center at Bell Labs between the mid-1980s and 2002.

>>53
distributed operating system
So, not Unix.

research successor to Unix
So, not Unix, else it would have been called Unix rather than its research successor.

OSX > Minux > BSD > Unix > Linux

>>55
OpenBSD > OSX > Minux > BSD > Unix > Linux

>>54
Yeah, just like FreeBSD isn't BSD.

* > OSX

>>55
I don't think you know what those words mean.

>>54
Yeah, just like Singularity isn't NT.

Congratulations for recognising it for what it was intended: not a troll.

Unix and Multics solved different problems and so, it's not good analogy for Unix vs. Windows. Windows originated as a toy system (a GUI on top of a CP/M clone). Systems far superior to Windows existed at that particular time. Over time, MS have been bolting on various technologies to the Windows system as their attempt to maintain relevance. It also doesn't help that MS is committed to trap users to their systems as one method used for achieving this goal is aim of legacy binary object support. While the NT system was a chance of improving the Windows brand as it wouldn't be hindered by legacy requirements, MS killed the potential by strapping in legacy support. Windows is a toy system not worth my time.

not a troll
Nice try, Trolly McTrollerberger.

I agree. Win7 looks pretty suave in this regard, though. It merely has herpes, instead of AIDS.

GODDAMMIT. Forgot to sage.

The network book mentioned earler is:
Computer Networking Internet Protocols in Action

Unix originated as a toy system, too (a broken multics clone written in assembly language so it could run on a toy instead of on a real computer).

Nothing like that at all.

/prog/ will be spammed continuously until further notice. we apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.
