how do you feel about strange timezone watches?
They're the first time I've been even slightly interested in watches in a while now. I want complications. I want unix time. I want circular hands a la RAKETA COPERNICUS. I want hybrid digital analogue weirdo stuff.
Sadly they're all cheaply made.

At some point i was even thinking of forking a small unix kernel (smth like netbsd) and adding datain file descriptors (like stdin). And use the shell token `|>` for the structured data pipes, and `3>` for the redirection.

There are two things I love pwsh that i wish unix had, the consistent naming policy (it really matter which scheme, but be consistent and predictable). And the data output instead of text output.

이후 애플에서 쫒겨나고 NeXT를 만드는데 이미 NeXT에서 워크스테이션을 만들때 워크스테이션의 대세는 UNIX계열이었음. 그 뒤로 잡스는 계속 워크스테이션에 도전을 내밀었지만 애플에 복귀해서 절치부심해서 내놓은 파워맥-맥프로도 결국 워크스테이션에서 주류는 고사하고 고급 라인에 끼지도 못함. 그냥 힙스터용 저가(라고 하면 모르는 사람들은 놀람. 성능이 워크스테이션계에서는 저가 맞음)라인업에 겨우 들어감. 호환성은 개판이고.

Why is Unix V4 so vital? It's the first version written in C and its source code was considered lost. Recovering it offers a rare glimpse into early OS development and a foundational piece of computing history. #LostCode 2/6

A Unix V4 tape, thought lost, has been found! 🤯 The HN community is buzzing about recovering its data, exploring historical significance, the technical challenges of recovery, and the longevity of various storage media. #UnixHistory 1/6

While cleaning a storage room, our staff found this tape containing #UNIX v4 from Bell Labs, circa 1973
Apparently no other complete copies are known to exist: https://gunkies.org/wiki/UNIX_Fourth_Edition
We have arranged to deliver it to the Computer History Museum

Quite right and I definitely get that most folks aren't their degree, I've worked with UNIX engineers with degrees in English and Chemistry and those folks besides being brilliant engineers were quite well rounded. I side-eye folks qualifying so called statements of fact on their unrelated degree

No es habitual, pero a veces los grandes descubrimientos tecnológicos no suceden en laboratorios de I+D, sino en almacenes olvidados y polvorientos. Y es que...

That's more or less only about the basic GUI and basic app usage.
Maybe also worth a minute or two:

Really all the standard Unix commands with args I can never seem to remember (find is the worst imo). Shellcheck for bullshit detection in larger scripts.
LLMs are also great at translating my pure Unix commands into damned PowersHell slop. I will always remain willfully ignorant about that shit.
