Agora isn't just a library and apps that resemble Mac OS X, it's literally a reimplementation of them from the ground up. It's as much a child of OpenStep as any of them.

yeah but i'm trying to target classic Mac OS and that actually uses OpenSTEP and shit

Yeah. Not "this looks like MacOS", but actually "This is built on NeXTStep, OpenStep, Cocoa and the like to actually function like MacOS"

Nobody has benchmarked this against base Phi-2, so the fine-tune's actual domain lift is unmeasured — and with no prompt format documented, anyone running it is starting cold. For vintage NeXT/OPENSTEP admins, that blank eval is exactly where the interesting work starts.
Phi-2 Goes Retro: A 2.7B Fine-Tune Trained on Vintage NeXTSTEP Sysadmin Lore
There is a particular kind of pleasure in finding a model that exists simply because somebody wanted to see whether it could be done. DevQuasar/vintage-nextstepossystemadmin-ft-phi2v2 is exactly…

Lotus Improv on the NeXT
Both NeXT and Improv brought innovative solutions to their respective computing questions of the day. NeXT made UNIX palatable to those scared of the terminal, debuted Display Postscript on a mega-pixel display, and made development for the system a snap. Improv rethought multi-dimensional data modeling, offered English-like formulas, and made it easy to rearrange data views on a whim. The bones of both remain to this day. NeXT’s operating system, NeXTSTEP / OPENSTEP, morphed into macOS, and by extension iOS. Lotus abandoned Improv fairly quickly, but a quick survey of today’s spreadsheets shows a universal embrace of pivot tables. ↫ Christopher Drum I had never heard of Lotus Improv, so I learned a lot reading this outstanding article by Drum.

@omnigroup.com Y’all should talk to your team about releasing OmniWeb source code for the Rhapsody OS/Mac OS X Sever 1 (over 26 years old) and prior (NEXTStep, OpenStep). It would be incredible for the open source and tinker community. It’s a product that was long abandoned.

quando steve jobs apresentou a NeXT para o público da Apple, ele disse que eles tinham um sistema operacional, o Mach, e em cima dele um conjunto de APIs e interface gráfica que era o OpenStep, ou seja, tudo que se vê não era o sistema operacional

hoje em dia a Apple muda a posição de ícones […]

ギルバート・アメリオの自伝読んだけど Copland っていろんな部署が主導権争いして同じ機能が乱立。結果プロジェクトが空中分解したって書いてなかったっけ? それが動くってどういうことなんだろ? ページ行って動かした感じ、MacOS 9 程度の雰囲気しか感じないw

I'm not hardcore enough at the moment to emulate NeXTSTEP and run it as it was, BUT I am preparing the iMac G5 as a dedicated WindowMaker / OpenSTEP box, since that's still my all-time favorite UNIX GUI.

Given how the iMac G5 came to be, I feel like I'm closing a cosmic loop of some kind […]

I love the whole “fake website” deal. Almost as much as I love clearly made up operating systems/interfaces in 90s TV shows/movies.

“Is that OpenStep? What the hell is that menu font?”

I might mention that with some help, I got a modern browser built for OPENSTEP. it’s on GitHub if fellow black hardware folks are interested.

It’s funny that most people have never heard of nextstep or openstep, while they use much of its foundation and philosophy every day.

Still have two turbo color machines at home - one of which used to belong to Jonathan Schwartz.

추상화는 작동을 드러내는 수준에서만 훌륭하다라는 말이 왜 중요한지를 보려면 OpenStep시절과 그 이후의, 특히, Carbon 통합이나, Swift로의 이전을 위한 변경이 어떤 질적 저하를 불러왔는지 보면 됨.
