Hey, the Classic Macish DisposePtr, the match to NewPtr and
NewPtrSysClear, is in this Mock~Mach Kernel. Now, As some of you MIGHT
RECALL, I argued long and hard for the retention of Copland's NuKernel,
and this Kernel is called XNU. Tenon, discontinued MachTen if I recall,
Honestly, it was only a Good Hunch back then, but now that I've
actually got a MS in CIS, I can say it was the only sensible thing to
do. I mean, your just passing clusters of 1|2|4|8 bytes around thread
to thread. It's a microkernel! The Driver and hardware familarity issue
was my main argument back then... The harder work is up higher. There
is an IOMalloc* functions but naming conventions are interesting. In my
Mach book, there's a function called thread_create, in this XNU there
is IOCreateThread.
Since I am The WordSword, lets chop, we have noun_verb vs.
PrefixVerbNoun. (GX incidentally, used the PrefixVerbNoun convention.)
I mean if you look at the Programming Under Mach, it's pretty clear
that these calls are not in the Kernel. There are some Mach~ish looking
Headers. Not an exact mapping any means. Different fields structs but
same naming conventions. It looks like there might be a Mach
Compatibility layer on top of these very non~Mach IO********* calls and
others.
I say, if it's the Copland's team work, I say just let them get their
dues. There's something very foul going on down here. What NeXT work I
see, seems very dead set on making it easy to orc~coroutine access into
any RUNNING process and Data in my laptop. It's ridiculous. It's like
you're typing and someone's typing along sometimes, pressing extra
keys... You're not doing ANYTHING graphically intensive yet you can see
flickers of EXTRA REFRESH EVENTS, your keyboard gets super hot, the Fan
kicks in, your hard drive starts WHIRRRRRrrr.... as if its doing some
Massive Search. You notice that certain files that you placed in
specific places so that you wouldn't forget where they were have been
removed. You keep having Safari Die in sync with these HD WhirrrrUps.
Netscape Dies too. But how? It's like SOMEONE (an ORC) killed them.
Just a few hours before they played your Quicktimes movies FINE. Okay
Now... For Now...
Mike Paquette, I won't even GO THERE...HERE with you. But... Oh...
So... DISAPPOINTING. Where's your UNIQUE Ch'i Flow? You know your Fluid
Creativity? Didn't I mention just dropping DPS... Writing a new
Rendering Subsystem... Do you Draw? Do you Paint? Do you Write? Do you
Play an instrument? Meter? Time? Alliteration, The Parring for
Rapping's Rhyming? Where's the FUNC!!tionality? The inflective wordflow
dot.stroke~sweep {pause} relaxincurlin' The Verbusion Verbal Fusion
I've been thinking about writing my own MetaGraphorGlyphorix ... graph
theoretic verbal communication and recontextualization with Spatial
Splines of PuncT!ual Func! lowpass filtered with an alliterative
