The site seem slashdotted by us.

The deepest thing I read from HN in months. Respect.

Probably I will be impopular, but the best ferrari in the last 40 yrs is F-40 by engineer Materazzi. Designed all by him, except the japan mad turbo compressor.

That car's interior is a great example of what made Ferrari so iconic and aspirational. It's not trying to be nice and comfortable. It feels stiff, brutalist, direct. It has an immediacy and a danger.

I do not think this is an unpopular opinion at all. In fact, it's one of the most popular ones I believe.

Not unpopular at all. I think it's one of the best Ferrari ever made.

"Practically speaking" means nothing. Use "from my confused point of view", instead.

If GDB could switch its C codebase to compiling as C++ without major surgery, it's close enough.

Any language can be, depending on the project. Rust compile is slower than C, on more than average. That's it.

Me too, was CoyoteLinux.

This brings back memories. I used CoyoteLinux to surreptitiously share my ADSL connection with my SO. This was against my provider's ToS at the time.

...and don't forget S.E.U.C.K.

Ohhh! I missed that! I guess I was too busy playing mail order monsters ...

So good memories the day I obtained the floppy with Drops with dope. Awesomeness. One the same bunch, another floppy of a unixlike RT OS, which I cannot now recall the name to save my life...the then blackberry one.

Thanks, Sir.
