If you are emulating another architecture (e.g. running x86 images on top of an M1 chip) then yes. For native images, Docker Desktop uses xhyve, which is a port of the FreeBSD bhyve hypervisor to macOS

Not to trivialize QEMU (I use it often and I love it) but usually the challenge with console emulators are A) emulating supporting hardware such as graphics chips which are often undocumented and B) achieving cycle accurate emulation for pl

I can't speak for Indian electrical standards, but here in Ireland, we use the UK plug design and most phone chargers (and many laptop chargers) have a plastic/non conductive ground pin. Ground pins are not used because the charg

The compilers for VMS have to deal with a bunch of platform idiosyncrasies, such as the ability to have a mix of 32-bit and 64-bit pointers in the one program.

This, in turn, is because they are converting the compilers from a proprietary code generator to LLVM.

I've often seen internal IT/ops departments build their own packages for CentOS (pre Stream days) and do their own support. It's not the right call for every organization, but in that case, the Red Hat support does little.

I feel like the author is trying to shock the reader by writing that 37% of the people who supported armed insurrection have guns. Another way to read that statement however is that almost two thirds of those in favour of this do not own gu

One thing is that there is a much larger array of interesting old software for the VAX rather than Alpha. The same will be true for Alpa compared with x86, but at least it will be easier to run more modern software on x86. (I own both VAX a

Tindie is a good choice. I think you should create some sort of interest list if you are seriously considering producing these for sale.
