The US Navy paid millions to extend support for XP. As far as I know they still use it.

I wrote a small amount of windows XP and I'm not ashamed to admit it here.
When I was growin' up, I was the smartest kid I knew. Maybe that was just because I didn't know that many kids. All I know is now I feel the opposite.

I liked XP and W7 quite a bit. I am much less fond of W10.

I like windows 10 but only after I've torn all the garbage out of it.

I suppose there would be some happy if you published an article about it

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?

I still use Win7 (Enterprise) vs Win10 at home, although that means I can't run the Android Xamarin emulator. Not much of a problem, because I have a spare Google Nexus device I use for development.

I liked windows 7 for the most part but if i recall they still were straddling two different driver models - WDM and whatever it was that came after that. It was shockingly stable, considering.
Still, it's annoying when it comes to driver interfacing and I can only imagine what the kernel and HAL have to go through.
However, that among other things led to it being kind of bloated for its day. I've had better luck with other windows versions (2000, XP, and Win10 notably) running on less than stellar hardware than i did with win7
Although win7 supported a lot of different hardware out of the box, even my old SB live card.

fair enough, LOL. And I probably wouldn't want my kid sister reading it.

What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question?

at this level of functioning. time to redline.
i know i can solve what is in front of me. I have all the knowledge i need, it's simply understanding that's elusive.
it's a good place to be in all things considered. i can redline my brain for a bit - i use to have to worry about mania when i did that, but not any more. yay pharma. in any case, i should have my lalr(1) parser doing what i want it to by the time the dust settles.
rawr.
you can't stop me.

honey the monster, codewitch wrote: lalr
The Dutch word for speaking drunken gibberish is "lallen" (which would make the speaker a "laller", although I don't think that's a word) so every time I read LALR I think you're drunk and typing gibberish.
I don't know about the former, but the latter is certainly true

As CS acronyms go, it's not too bad. At least it has a vowel.
Computer scientists usually have to give complicated names to things to make it "theirs" but in this case i think they went with something brief instead. Because "bottom up parsing with one token of lookahead" is just verbose. And so is BUPWOToL

Look-Ahead Left-to-Right Parser... I'm pretty sure that sounds like drunken gibberish to a lot of people as well
|
|

the LR isn't exactly "left to right"
the L in it means "left to right" and the R means it creates right derivations (parses from bottom up basically - from the leaves of the tree to the root)
contrast that with an LL parser, that also parses left to right, but creates left derivations (parses from top down, a tree and then the leaves)
