    I’d just built my first PC and had no love for Win 3.1 which was rapidly becoming the default. I wanted to keep codíng having come from from Atari STs and had no desire to learn the windows APIs. An OS that came with C compilers by default was higher level than I was used to as I’d been doing 68000 assembler on the ST, but it was still low level enough.

    IIt was also similar enough to the Sun IPCs and IPXs that I was using at university.




  • I’m a little confused by some of the discussion. Surely the problems they’re talking about with variations in the test system also apply to windows. You result can be affected by:

    • Which windows updates have been applied
    • Which version of the drivers have been installed
    • What other software is on the system

    Linux is the same, but they seem to be more concerned about it. Can someone explain?

    You’re missing the point that the universe is expanding uniformly. That means two points acceleration away from each other is dependent on their distance apart. The further they are from each other the faster they accelerate from each other.

    So GP is right. We measure red shift and infer distance.
