If you use Unix today, you can enjoy relatively long file names on more or less any filesystem that you care to name. But it wasn't always this way. Research V7 had 14-byte filenames, and the System III/System V lineage continued this restriction until it merged with BSD Unix, which had significantly increased this limit as part of moving to a new filesystem (initially called the 'Fast File System', for good reasons). You might wonder where this unusual number came from, and for that matter, wha

USENIX made the decision this week to discontinue its flagship Annual Technical Conference. When USENIX was started in 1975 — before the Internet, really — conferences were the fastest vector for practitioners to formally share their ideas, and USENIX ATC flourished.
