If I recall it's been done on both (emulator and real hardware).
The original version of GEMDOS (the replacement for DOS or CP/M when running on 68k) was in fact developed on the Lisa as a 68k dev machine [also some Motorola VME dev boards I think?) before actual Atari HW was available. So it's a full circle thing.
Yep, I know about all that - I had big cupboard full of the damn things in my flat in london [various ataris (6502 and 68k based ones), dragon 32 (coco lookalike), peculiar IBM pc clones, and other stuff]
A few years ago I got my nephew to do up the flat for sale, and he junked the lot - at some point you have to get rid of things.
Colin Percival (cperciva), upon being dismissed due to never having won a prestigious mathematical award such as a Putnam fellowship, revealing that he had in fact won a Putnam fellowship in 1999.
that's a lovely post, and I missed it when it came out, so thanks for that! but based on the logic in TFA I think an admin would have to make the claim for it to count.
TFA has curator quotes, the users are largely the curators of HN, so it should work! I can't imagine the mods ever saying anything like that. Maybe someone like pg would.

Yeah because that should be the end goal of everything right?
And from the response:
> 1. re: the first part, many people want something plug and play. and even if they were plug and play, the problem is that the user experience (on windows at least) with online drives generally sucks, and you don't have disconnected access.
Bingo. I am a really quite experienced Linux user (I've been using it since it came on two floppy disks and didn't really work) and I too want things that are just plug-and-play. Time spent dicking about making things work is time not spend doing something fun, although I get that for some folk their goal in using Linux is to "Be Using Linux". For most of us I suspect that extends out to "Be Using Linux to solve problems we actually have, not just be using Linux for the sake of it".
If the Supreme Court justices uphold this, I'm sending the ones who vote yes emails, each with an EULA dictating that by opening and reading the email they agree to send me 100% of their salaries in perpetuity, as well as an initial, single lump sum payment consisting of all their assets thrown into a trust in my own name. If they push back on it, well they shouldn't be so upset about something they agreed to in the first place.
And when you get to the top, you actually experience how the shoe is on the other foot. One should get out early, not waiting for the other shoe to drop.
What drives me crazy is Apple redesigned their weather app not so long after acquiring dark sky. I was anticipating a polished, updated version of Dark Sky's UI. Instead we have the current design, which is quite frankly terrible.
