This has to be one of the most naive comments I've read on this site.

Theres example after example of people in history being totally fine with violence against human beings.

No need to look at history. We have plenty of contemporary examples.

For some reason people get really stupid when presented with something uncomfortable to them.

we used to sacrifice lambs to appease the gods but we don’t do that anymore.

It's bad but this is what happens when people think they're not being heard and respected. I expect a lot more of this in the future.

Im sure _you're_ fun to work with. Get a sense of humor.

Nah, he's here until he exits on his own. Sorry.

Ooh new historical Unix variant I had never heard of.. neat!

AIX is still supported and sold, so quite current?

Some that I used that are gone... Ultrix (MIPS), Clix, Irix, SunOS 4, SCO OpenServer, TI System V.

NeXTstep? (Leaving aside fun spitballing about whether Tahoe is morally OPENSTEP 26, and whether it was NeXT that actually bought Apple for negative $400 million...)

Alas, I never had access to any of the Next environments, until PPC MacOS.

I did hold a copy in my hands for 486-class machines in the college bookstore.

Yea I think this is targeted at Go devs. Im in the target audience and I like it, not sure id ever use it, but I like it.

Rust devs continued belief that they're the center of the universe is amusing.

Sure but thats really fucking hard tho.

Never even heard of TBPN but congrats!

Been there; done that.

This whole thing is nerd fantasy come to life but its not particularly useful and right now the world for most people is about trying to figure out how to deal with the cost of everything thanks to a poorly planned war against Iran.

When Apollo 8 went up in December 1968, the US was near the peak of its involvement in the expensive and poorly planned Vietnam war, inflation had been rising in the US for three years and had hit 7.2% in October, the doomed, corrupt, and paranoid Republican president-elect had ran on lowering the price of hamburgers and medical care but was actively trying to manipulate the Supreme Court's composition behind the scenes, Israel was bombing its neighbors, control over the Panama Canal was being contested, the Hong Kong Flu epidemic was winding down, popular news was gripped by a kidnapping story involving a celebrity, and the NTSB was struggling to explain why so many passenger aircraft were being involved in fatal crashes and collisions with ground structures

This just isn’t true, people have tons of interests beyond “things that are useful” and “trying to figure out how to deal with the cost of everything.”

I’m almost certain you have genuine interests beyond your financials, and enjoy entertainment in general.

The fact is, the vast majority of people (and perhaps yourself) never actually cared about space or space exploration. I think most of this dismissiveness comes from people thinking they SHOULD care, and need to rationalize why they don’t.

> the cost of everything thanks to a poorly planned war against Iran.

The war in Iran doesn't help at all. But it's a much broader problem.
