emojis are great because they tell you what to feel so you don't have to guess except when you do, the XPG calls the latter two "carries a cultural dependency", and, since that dependency is unchecked, this implies that emojis are development tools

 Fri Sep 09 02:44:21 +0000 2022

(citation on that is dude just trust me for now, the XPG PDFs are agony enough on a desktop), but this also means that unicode should at some point succumb to the tide of internationalisation, much like who am I -> who -m, imo

hm. the UNIX Programmer's Manual notes that the(ir?) PDP-11 has DC-11 (DC11?) asynchronous modem interfaces, to which stty applies (in contrast to the console to which it doesn't), and the first two arguments set the input/control and printer flags, deferring to the DC-11 manual

 Mon Sep 12 16:38:24 +0000 2022

bitsavers has multiple microfiches of /test programs/ for it, but not so much as a product brief, much less a manual (there is a DEC disk controller DC-11 product brief, but.); wikipedia doesn't seem to acknowledge the PDP-11 has a console or capacity for modem peripherals

 Wed Sep 28 02:57:03 +0000 2022

never, at least never as described. in the single-user PDP-7 proto-UNIX, chdir was a regular program /but/ it had no fork, and no exec per se – the shell had a loader that overlaid it with the program (like ld.‌so hehe), the program exited, exit(2) overlaid it with a new shell[1]

 Wed Sep 28 13:56:03 +0000 2022

since fork, chdir has always been a builtin[2]; this is a constant in UNIXes as we know them today[3](1), alongside login as soon as init was split into init/getty/login in V2[4](2) (the reasoning for the latter is horseshit[5](3) and poisoned by the proto-UNIX but hey)

 Wed Sep 28 15:44:38 +0000 2022

it is, of course, awful. truly horrible idea realistically. BUT it would be funny and you'd get a (if you remove login) builtin-free shell, which would be pog

bublik no jutsu

 Wed Sep 28 19:30:33 +0000 2022

a more extreme variant of this take but one that I'd agree with would be to make the CWD not special but rather a conventional userspace notion of fd -1 (like AT_FDCWD, actual fd -1 would be stupid), making all opens openats; and while at it also do that for / instead of chroot()

 Wed Sep 28 19:41:00 +0000 2022

in that case there is no different between a "container" or "chroot" and any process; "chdir" is just freopenat (+- sp., you'd want a better primitive that did something like openat(x, ...) = y; dup(y, x) probably; AT_REOPEN?) and you get ch{root,dir}ing for free always ex def

 Wed Sep 28 19:43:45 +0000 2022

init just gets created with fd 0 being A root directory (the system "global" root or whatever else root for a "container"), everything else flows down from that normally (dup for CWD, &c.). of course linux-style modprobe upcalls would be harder but eeeh you could arrive at a bett

 Wed Sep 28 19:46:50 +0000 2022

fun fact: it always has been but just namespaced differently with ε different rules – paths starting with / substitute the CWD fd with a global (later process-specific) root fd: in that way openat is free; you could say that this would be a massive simplification of the system

 Wed Sep 28 19:50:25 +0000 2022

as for the latter bit, well, I've been in the Austin Group part of my WG11 paper (late december 2021) since May, and it's a wording change that would make extant Linux x32 systems conformant and no changes to already-conformant systems :)

apparently there's OSSL_DEPRECATEDIN_*_FOR() macros with replacements too but they're unused here so it must just be that they cracked SHA256

 Fri Sep 30 18:22:23 +0000 2022

there's a migration guide, not distributed, of course, which says that "low-level digest functions" "have been informally discouraged from use for a long time". as opposed to what. how do you make this fundamental API high-level

 Fri Sep 30 18:31:35 +0000 2022

EVP_DigestInit_ex() isn't any higher-level, and the original PR that introduces this says absolutely nothing on why you'd want this except repeating the same meaningless spiel. why!!!!!!!!!!!!

 Fri Sep 30 18:32:36 +0000 2022

"being informally discouraged" means nothing. there's no reasoning. why would you force everyone to pay a string lookup (or not, I guess, but the no-lookup functions aren't advertised) and fucking /allocate/ for the hashes
