According to users of the Kaypro II from that time, it was a very robust machine. It was even used on the 1984 Paris Dakar edition.
And the Kaypro IV came out with the cool dark look.

Are we talking about .NET standard?
No, we're talking about copilot core, not copilot framework

Interesting, but the opening line threw me off:
> Sure, I still make fun of the PHP I remember from the days of PHP 4.1, but even then I didn’t hate it. (ref. And “PHP: Training Wheels Without a Bike” is still in the Top 10 of my favorite memes.)
I still use it to build my latest projects, and for me it’s like breathing. Simple and functional. It’s not perfect, but no language is.
Yeah, no reason for PHP to catch strays here, especially if his knowledge is still based on 4.1. It's really a whole new language compared to back then.
My nation-wide C# Silverlight app lasted almost 12 years. And it had grid, animations, what have you in 2010 better than most html5 in 2018. Not to mention tooling.
And you know what? No matter the browser, no matter the OS it all worked and rendered the same.
Probably Adobe Flash was like that also.
First app we rewrote to AngularJS. You know what happened to it. So then we rewrote it to Vue.
The same effing app just to keep the stack “modern”.
I don’t know what is wrong with all these people.
God I wish something like Silverlight returned in a way that is mobile battery friendly.
Silverlight was awesome, too bad Microsoft abandoned it. You think they could've done something with it like decoupling from the browser, instead of making all these different UI frameworks that are fizzling out.
On the other hand I worked for a small place that was spending over 250k'ish per year on website maintenance to a company that setup their headless CMS website that they sold them.
They complained about it constantly but they kept paying (7 years and going when I was doing work for them which by they way they constantly tried to shortchange me). Never feel bad about taking money from a company, its just business. Setup your income stream and take care of yourself. I'm not sure why there is this bizarre self sacrificing mentality in tech to make other people rich at your own expense.
Not to mention if you invoke those companies you are putting yourself in their walled garden that makes them money and takes control of your income away from you. Why would any person want to do that? There is no moral quandary here.
There is some truth to this. One of the fails we had was pricing our product too low, where it was looked at as a stepping stone to something more expensive, even though it provided the same exact functionality minus the fancy looking ui. There were businesses that wanted to get out of their existing application suite, but are hooked in due to management perception and the sunk cost fallacy. The company who overpriced considerably is reaping millions per year on that application. If I could just go back in time..
"We use Oracle syntax and write <column expr> <alias> instead of ANSI SQL <column
expr> AS <alias>. Ditto for table expressions"
Footnote on page 3.
T-SQL can handle that alias expr just fine, but the seqNum returned is 4,8,12,16,20 instead of the 1,2,3... I tried on MySQL and it works fine. I'm not sure how SQL Server is handling those cartesian joins differently
Of course, trying out the first example doesn't work on SQL Server..

>"effectively gutting the least efficient parts of the government (my take, at least from 50,000 view)"
Based on what? See, I think of myself as a highly informed, curious person that is a voracious reader and yet I absolutely know I have zero basis to make such a determination. So what data do you have that I don't?
Efficiency is at an all time high now. We can see one air traffic controller handling a workload that would have required ten or more.
