Yes, and Andres (literally the “main hat” they wear at Microsoft is work on PostgreSQL, and Tom, etc. I don’t understand why pointing out what should be obvious gets people to lose their mind here and is such a controversy. PostgreSQL like

Pgadmin became web based only relatively recently. The old pgadmin was ugly but functional.

It has discrete ICs though. Assemblies appears less generic than components.

It has discrete ICs amongst other things, and why do you need a pinout for resistors? What would you propose as a better generic term?

It’s not Postscript. AirPrint supports a few different formats/PDLs including its own raster format and Postscript is notably not an option.

No it’s a horrible fit. OpenSSH is focused on a high quality, secure implementation of a rather complex protocol. And OpenSSH is not a core piece of Linux infrastructure any more than say gcc is. These projects serve other, greater ends. A

No they have not. Read the article carefully. They have had some success with implanting renal epithelial cells, but they have not demonstrated filtration function. It’s promising but not quite there and things may go prove to be more diffi

Both that headline and article are cringeworthy. You can’t extrapolate a bunch of flawed experiments like that to anything real. This is a hot area of research but that means it’s a hotbed of flawed and sensationalist research. Dunking embr

What’s the point if they’re merely competitive? There has to be some compelling advantage - why would Apple throw out their ARM ISA for RISC-V. Unlike other companies the licensing isn’t really an issue.
