I know we invaded Canada with six armies in 1812 and all of them got their butts kicked by the British, but I never heard of an invasion during the Revolutionary War.

People are weighing the worth of a college degree versus the cost of obtaining one (both time and money) and the scale is tipping towards going to work without one. This is probably because the tuition fees have become so inflated that most

C should be retired and replaced with compiled C# (if the usage allows for Garbage Collection) or Rust (if deterministic memory management is needed). There's really no use for pulling on a dead horse. C has had its heyday and should s

We should be more careful with the word "crypto" since these days it's mostly a synonym for "crypto-currency." I had to read the article to verify that this is not the case here.

Since pieces of rock move this wouldn't be a foolproof solution.

Yes, hardware support will always be a problem unless there's a large uptake. Developers should therefore focus on more hardware support instead of adding unnecessary features.

Is this OS a fork of SerenityOS (also completely written from scratch in C++)? I'm amazed how many single person or small team developed operating systems are out there. Another one I like is RedoxOS (written in Rust) and Resea (microk

Could you make the navigation look more like Bootstrap's NavBar with a simple flat items? The button menu looks weird.

OK, fine, but not having JavaScript is unworkable. Most sites, such as Github, Outlook and Jira require it and I need those to do my day-to-day work.

I'd say they're getting closer to becoming science, but aren't there yet. BTW I wonder what they're going to do about the possibility of plowing into a small rock fragment at several times the speed of light? If they can

I developed software for Mac OS X around 2005 and I can guarantee you that Apple certainly wasn't kicking butt back then and is probably even worse off today with OS X becoming bloated and full of cruft.

The entire financial system in the U.S. is a manufactured product, if you really think about it. The USD has intrinsic value even if Americans don't lift a finger since you need US$ to purchase most goods on the commodities market. If

Nice to see that some people are taking the time to try and assemble a RISC-V PC usable in everyday life. That no mainline web browser works would be a showstopper for me. I spend about half my day on the web and the other half in my IDE (b

I really like it, but it needs more work on the navigation. A more conventional looking navigation similar to Bootstrap's would be nice.

The biggest question is "Why?." AFAIK very few cargo planes have ever been shot down by a MANPADS IR-homing missile. I still remember this Airbus A300 out of Iraq that got hit by one and lost all hydraulics but still managed to la

In my experience even the cheapest (mirrorless) digital snapshot camera runs circles around any mobile phone's. I used to have a cheap Nikon camera and its pictures still stand-out compared to those of even high-end mobile phones (like

I guess we'll know in about a week, when the deadline expires which Putin's sock-puppet Lavrov has set. And the 100.000 troops stationed near Ukraine are almost a dozen times the number claimed in the article. I do feel a certain

Too bad they didn't write it in Rust. I believe C is much too fragile for interpreters to be written in them, especially for high-usage scenarios like the web.

The only thing that will prevent Apple from introducing on-device scanning is people voting with their feet. Nothing else will persuade them to stop this madness.

I keep wondering: why do we really need authenticated boot? If you encrypt the entire disk, including the boot partition, there's no way for an adversary to make any changes anyway.

It's clear the Chinese are trying to undermine the EU by introducing these kinds of systems in a aspiring EU member state. BTW the EU isn't directly against such systems. There's always the loophole that it CAN be used in the
