Indeed, but only after suitable alternatives were given the necessary window to emerge because of Sun/Oracle's antics. Arguably, the result is better all round.
Actually, Linux needs competition or it will start to run out of reasons to make it better. In future, it looks like the BSD family will be pretty much it.
Thanks, Sun/Oracle for erecting barriers around DTrace, thus motivating even better tracing in Linux. Thanks also for doing the same to ZFS, thus saving the rest of us from that sprawling abomination.
...the clusterfck that is Qt or Gnome. Have you actually ever used interface builder?
Hah, you clearly have never used Qt, but you are willing to mouth off about it anyway. When I interact with Apple cultists I always come away feel like I got something on me.
It is not in doubt that SQL is a programming language, it has been proved Turing-complete. Not a general purpose programming language, I will grant you. You are dead wrong about Ruby or Eiffel for "anything serious". You are dead wrong about Fortran.
in reality nothing other than C, C++, C#, Java, Javascript, Perl, PHP, Python, Objective C, and Swift are
Kind of pointless trying to come up with a definitive list of languages that supposed to be the only ones in use when there exist many others with large industries revolving around them. I will add SQL and FORTRAN to the list. Ruby. Eiffel. So many in which important systems are written and not on your list.
It was then used by NeXT for NextStep. It got into Apple only because NeXT was bought by Apple and NextStep was the basis for Mac OS X. It had nothing to do with developer lock-in.
That's how it got into Apple, but it continued to be promoted by Apple mainly in the interest of developer lock-in.
Compare programming a 6502 in assembly back in 1980 to programming in Java nowadays. Using modern languages and compilers you can write code 1,000,000 times faster, clearer and more complex in the same amount of time.
So that what used to take a week to write in 6502 asm now takes less than a second to write in Java? Not disagreeing with your post, just taking issue with your scaling factor in the interest of making a better argument. Agree that OP couldn't be more wrong.
You clearly identify as someone who has no exposure to anything outside a limited set of mundane languages. Your implied bifurcation fallacy between "fad languages" and "languages I know" is enough to see that. LISP, for example, can be pigeonholed as neither a fad language nor a hobby language. The Chinese have a term for your kind of world view: "frog in a well". The frog spends its entire life at the bottom of the well, and far above it can see a small part of the sky, which it believes to be the entire world outside its well. That's you.
As for the real world, I see four types of languages used
You are talking about the galley slaves of the internet. All the languages you listed are distinctly pedestrian. A programmer who knows nothing beyond the likes of those is not well rounded and better get adjusted to the idea of being a galley slave for their entire career.
Or does the world urgently need another random person on the internet to post random angst to an article that they have not read and most likely would not understand if they did?
The flight recorders section omits some of the media reports referenced in the investigation section, and does not state that the voice data record was successfully repaired.
Conspiracy theory: fake news about Samsung removing the headphone jack would mainly benefit Apple. (Contrast with my alternate conspiracy theory that fake news, later retracted, gets free publicity for Samsung.)
Yes, your link trumps mine. The Figaro article from July certainly says that, and there are other reports of the word "fire" from the voice recorder, so I guess they did recover data from it, and the Wikipedia article could use an update. The whole thing seems to be a bit short on official comment, this latest being hearsay from "a source from the investigation".
Just to clarify, this was deduced from the flight data recorder, not voice recordings. The voice recorder was apparently damaged by salt water and data not recovered so far.
The cockpit recorder should have picked up a few explicit verbal phrases if such an event had taken place.
Wikipedia reports that the flight data recorder was repaired after being recovered from the ocean, but offers no further information on the voice recorder other than that it was sent to France after initial recovery attempts failed. It seems credible that voice recordings are not available.

Uh, linux has both dtrace and zfs.

Unfortunately, I can't google "ipad fire" as it collides with "kindle fire".
Here you go.
Couple of choice ones:
Fire that killed four dogs in rescue home started by an iPad charger
iPad fire
So to show us "Apple battery fires", you link us to stories about "(chargers (supposedly) from Apple fire (or in one case more of a smolder)"
"iPad Fire" (read the post)
Goddamnit. Why can't you loudmouth know-nothings just fuck off already?! You're a pox on the Internet.
Typical Apple cultist?

Wow, Apple censor team is active today.
Anti trust implies controlling prices to the detriment of the consumer.
Competition law (colloquially called anti-trust) covers a wide range of anticompetitive activities. Educate yourself.
The flight recorders section omits some of the media reports referenced in the investigation section, and does not state that the voice data record was successfully repaired.
BTW, there are photos of the recovered flight recorders. No apparent structural damage. It is likely that the enclosures are not waterproof even when undamaged.

Oh damn, I nailed that.
Only out by two weeks.

rather than buying the back catalog stuff I was into at the time on CD, I just bought LPs and dubbed them onto good old XLIIs.
In the 90's you were ripping your prized vinyl collection to analog cassettes? Condolences.

Brilliant to you, sick to me.
we can expect a fair share of Samsung jokes regardless...
What kind of person could turn 56 accidental deaths into a joke?
Do Norway, Sweden and Finland have summers?
