Had an assignment to build a shell in a week, how hard could it be?

  controlling terminal
  session leader
  job control
The parser was easy in comparison.



Who was the 222nd commentator?

This might be a Polish thing but hero has to die. Does not matter if accomplishes a goal, just that hero put it all on the line against incredible odds.


Something to do with being located between Germany and Russia? Or, if you will, Prussia, the Hapsburg Empire, and Russia?


vxworks 6.x:

(one login session, say over serial)

  -> ioTaskStdGet 0, 1
  value = 3 = 0x3
  -> taskIdSelf
  value = 13600784 = 0xcf8810
(another session, say over telnet)

  -> ioTaskStdSet 0xcf8810, 1, 0x9
  value = 0 = 0x0
(first session ie SERIAL)

  -> printf "foo\n"
  -> taskIdSelf
  -> i
(otherone eg TELNET)

  -> foo
  value = 4 = 0x4
  value = 13600784 = 0xcf8810

teeheeheehaw!


I completely understand! I'm also Polish American. I have to say it helps when mother's side of family is Gdańsk+west and father's Lublin+east. My wife's family is all from Warsaw area and I had to translate for my father-in-law during a holiday to Władysławowo-Hel (probably helps my aunt's father's side is Kashubian too, mmm... dessert first).

I was blown-away on holiday to Croatia. It was so unexpectedly relatively easily understandable after Czechia, Austria, and Slovenia. I was all, "What just happened!? Shouldn't this be something more like Italian?"

It took only a month for me to be able to communicate in Ukrainian with my ESL students, you're totally right about Cyrillic. And I too think in concepts but switch my brain to express them externally via language, whatever that language may be at the moment. I am terrible at translating OTOH, so unnatural!

But it has it's limits, I got to a point after German and Norwegian that I thought I harbored a super-power. Then I went to school in Hungary ;) I also had an ESL student from Lithuania, yep incomprehensible.


Kudos to you too. Finnish, Hungarian and Estonian I wouldn’t be able to comprehend ;) these are different beasts
