z/OS is their mainframe OS. The AS/400 is something different. Different hardware and different software.

Sure. But it’s like in the marketing pics even. It works over thunderbolt. And that’s what they’ve said.

Over Thunderbolt at least. I imagine it might subpar on non supported stuff.

I mean did he try to just daisy chain them? He claims that he wanted to use DisplayPort 1.4 for connectivity. But the monitors do support daisy chaining over thunderbolt, and he also states that. But why not daisy chain? I mean I get that it's frustrating to get the thing working with DisplayPort, dongles and docks. But the best solution was right in front of him?

SUSE is owned, through various companies, the Wallenberg Family nowadays, isn't it?

Then it'll send as a text message.

When initiating a new conversation, the number you add to it appears blue if they can receive iMessages, green if not.

If for some reason iMessages can't be delivered to the receiving party at the moment. Text messages are used as a fallback for them. If you disable the fallback mode. It won't be.

The whole thing is kinda intuitive, and works really smooth IMHO.

iClouds calendar and contacts used to just be CardDAV and CalDAV. Has that changed?

That depends on the keyboard layout. ⌘-` with an US layout is equivalent to ⌘-§ in almost all other layouts.

Mavericks? Do you mean Mojave? Because I don't even think Mavericks runs on the Touch Bar MacBooks.

Yeah so the EU can't do much about it.

How many EU countries are Apple News available in?

IBM getting involved in something is usually a death sentence. Initially they might inspire hope. But they'll turn everything into a horrible mess lacking those polishing touches that makes stuff nice to work with. They'll tick feature check-boxes. But the stuff will barely be usable.

Well, tools is probably not the right wording. But solutions for making systems accessible over web APIs. There's usually in-house solutions. But IBMs own, "IWS"(https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/integrated-web-services-ib...), is probably the main one I've heard of. I can't really remember all the solutions to serve up html pages.

It works. You pass stuff in and out through what would best be described as ARGV. Some Java middleware and so on analyzes the program to determine the amount, name and length of in and out variabels.

The process is that you choose to deploy a service, choose between SOAP and "REST" and point to your program. You then get to specify the resource name, description and a regexp for your path. The resource name becomes a part of the URL. You then specify which variables are input and which are output. And after that assign some generic settings and choose which variabels are sent in as a part of the path and not and so on.

Works sorta nice. Some drawbacks are that you'll still need to add rewrite rules to get actual restful URLs, since the URL of your service will be along the lines of http://example.com/web/services/<resource name/<your regexp>. If your program is written in COBOL instead of RPG, all variable names will be in all cap. There's a max size to how much data you can send in or return that's not super small, but around a few MB unless my memory fails me.

I mean it's almost there, just not really good if you ask me. It could use some love. Also anything you're unsure of results in you having to dig into the hell hole that is IBMs website. Not exactly made easier by some buffoon naming the platform as such into a three letter name of one of the worlds biggest companies followed by a space and a single letter. So google is worse than useless.

I've found most in-house solutions to be more reliable.

I've done COBOL based web stuff on the IBM i/AS400. Nothing particularly tricky about it, wouldn't really recommend it for anything super complex. But it's less of a hassle then the various "tools" that's ment to make it easier, which always have horrible browser based configuration interfaces and stupid limitations. Just point Apache to a binary, read environmental variables and print to stdout. Using it doesn't really make sense as such, but developers who only know COBOL can just write regular programs and be done with it.

It doesn't, or it's at least better.

Unless my memory fails me, selecting them in the volume drop down is enough. No need to fiddle with the bluetooth menu. But I could be wrong as I'm currently not at a Mac.

I have not checked the details, but I read it as someone who held a share in Ebay+PayPal prior to PayPal being spun of got an Ebay share + X PayPal shares at the time of the spinoff. I don't think PayPal was bought for $50B, it was valued as that as a separate entity. The PayPal share has doubled in value since the split.

Iraq actually. Or rather an Iraqi fella. There was an article on it here on Hacker News earlier. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9673157

Because their funds are easier to track. And easier to prove that they belong to them. Someone just needs to get your keys off you and there's that. You've got nothing on them.

Montana, Wyoming, North Dakota and South Dakota seem to have really preferred Beryl for some reason.

Something like https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/en/ssw_ibm_i_73/... ?

One slight pro of it is that at least Chrome doesn't have 80% of mobile traffic as well due to iOS users being unable to switch default browser. I mean, that's the only pro.

Like a tailor?

Yes.

SEU, the built in editor on the iSeries/IBM i, is however rather shitty. It does actually do some linting, but no syntax highlighting and the 5250 interface never really got improved as much as 3270, so its 24x80 or 27x132. Granted you're supposed to use an eclipse based IDE since SEU is no longer supported, but to just look at stuff really quick. A fast editor is preferred.

But I agree, ISPF editor is rather good.

Micro Focus is an interesting company. And apparently very profitable. From a smallish company making tools for mainframe development and consultancy to now owning HP Enterprise and a whole bunch of other companies as well. They're raking it in money wise.

Probably because the massive amount of regulations that have been added in the last century means starting with nothing is a massive undertaking if you aim at providing a full service bank. Startups are popping up, but usually they only do one thing. And a limited set of that one service at that.

They could just swap out the authentication mechanism instead of the entire COBOL stack. I don't really know why you wouldn't just run the auth bits in some other language. The programs that calculate your monthly interest on your mortgage doesn't exactly have to have to be able to handle your login credentials.

Well an actual worst case scenario also brings down your internet connection. Without banks various internet providers wouldn't be able to pay each other for connections. I mean they could theoretically let each other communicate for free. But we're talking ISPs and such.
