But now many years later have to admit VMS was just a lot more complicated than what was needed.

There is zero chance I would crawl through such a tiny hole even without the water. I would freak.

Would seem the future for enterprise will be OAuth.

So far really loving Flutter. The hot reload speed is just incredible. Plus there is some unusual features.

One is widgets keep state so can go directly to where you were already at when developing. This makes you a lot more productive and experiment a lot more.

The other is able to be somewhere in the app your are coding and just click that page on the screen and takes you to the code behind it.

Also it does look like Flutter is the future as the native UI for Fuchsia.

But NOT older than me. I am old.

Would like a similar solution but with Postgres on the back end instead.

But man the three volume Comer books made things so much easier.

But then purchased the Comer books and made it so much easier. Highly recommend buying the Comer books if really interested in writing a TCP/IP stack.

Also if you really want to learning something you write an implementation. To this day makes it so much easier to deal with IP problems, configuration, buying products, etc.

But Microsoft getting patents to use for royalties or as a weapon to me is not as good as the Google approach.

Google does not use patents to get royalties but instead gives away tons of IP to help everyone or the entire industry move forward.

Microsoft just takes a different approach. They use the patents for royalities and how they make over a billion off of Android phones a year.

Google has tons of patents and even buys them up like what they did with Moto. Yet they do not charge royalities for using. They instead use for cross license agreements.

Just a very different culture from Microsoft.

But one of my favorite examples of Google and patents is VP8.

We had Mpeg-LA extorting license fees out of us for Mpeg2. Google said enough and created VP8 and gave away for free for anyone to use.

But then in addition also offered patent infringement protection for anyone using VP8. That is just not an approach you would see from Microsoft.

"It doesn’t matter that’s not the company they are anymore "

What has changed? I would say they are giving back more now than ever before. They use to give their "secrets" in papers like Map/Reduce, GFS, and so many others.

But now they actually give the software away with their "secrets". Perfect example is Kubernettes. They build Borg and learned from it and then with everything they learned now give away K8s.

Which is now used by Microsoft, Amazon and pretty much the entire industry. They do not charge a cent and help their competitors better compete against them.

They did it because it helps the entire industry move forward. That is just not the culture at Microsoft.

Google continues to give away just tons and tons of IP.

But you do have me curious. How do you think they have changed in terms of the technology community?

BTW, another example is giving away SPDY which became http2 which helped everyone including competitors.

Or all the money they spend finding all the major security flaws including Shellshock Meltdown, Cloudbleed, HeartBleed, Spectre and many others. Cloudbleed was with a competitor and helped them solve the issue.

Google finds many Microsoft vulnerabilities and tells them about them helping them make their products more secure.

Google does not play that game. They have tons of patents and purchased patents for cross license but they do not get paid anything in royalities. Instead they give away IP for everyone to use.

That is why Microsoft gets paid more for every Android handset through royalaties from patents than Google does.

Just a different approach between the two companies.

One started by Moto before them purchasing and the other the Waymo trade secrets case with Uber.

Google has purchased tons of patents but they use for cross license and NOT for royalities.

Are you confusing Google and Microsoft? MS does use their patents for royalities and perfect example is getting more per Android phone sold from royalities than Google gets.

Great find and wish we got more things like this.
