I think the only bit that really needs to be in assembly is the context switch, but even that can be embedded in the C (which you might consider cheating, but isn't even an option in JavaScript).

It's still a scripting language, and you still can't write an OS in it. There's no low-level access to the hardware. You could of course write all the low level parts in C, but then you haven't written an OS in JavaScrip

We won't, because you can't write an OS in JavaScript; you need native code. Maybe a desktop environment or something, but not an OS.

Commonly accepted by men and women, in fact. I laughably see men complaining that it's degrading to adult women while hearing my female friends happily embrace it as part of their identity.

The "well" part is questionable. It's been many years since I used CVS, but I recall things like branching and merging being much more tedious affairs. People move on to things like Git not just because they're fashionab

The author would have a point if these people were calling themselves "software developers". Using the definition of a "software developer" to object to people calling themselves "wordpress developers" shows a

Can you fix the links? For some reason the browser URL doesn't change to reflect the fragment, so the back button is broken.

I guess this is the downside of designing and building your own hardware. You can't just go out and buy some more servers to rack up. You'd think they would have ensured they had capacity before they slashed their prices, though.

Honestly, this sounds absolutely terrible. Why is the quality so much worse than, say, Google's TTS running on my phone?

When did you use Blender? Its UI used to be a complete mess, but since 2.6 or so it's much better. Once you learn the shortcuts (or customize them to your own suiting), it's actually really quick to use. I gave up on Blender almos

I share the author's feeling of déjà vu. I feel like I've seen this article already. It was a comment posted on HN earlier today. It's kind of fascinating how someone's comment can get promoted to someone else's blo

I've been looking into it, but it looks like it's going to cost several hundred dollars, which would be fine if I knew I was getting something out of that, but it's a lot of money just to be told, "No, it must be somethi

I think I probably have ADHD, and this didn't surprise me. One of the symptoms appears to be a problem with executive function where there's a disconnect between recognizing risk and taking appropriate action to mitigate it. So ma

I remember Steve Furber told us in CS that the first time he tested the original ARM they got back from the fab, they forgot to connect the power lines. It worked anyway, just from the power on the I/O lines.
