   You nailed it. I am in the process in my spare time to maintain old Win32 apps, that corporates and always-the-latest-and-greatest crowd has abandoned. Most people don't care about our history, only what is shiny. It is sad!

   I think the idea is take what you can and evolve. Keeping it x86_64 for now makes sense in many respects. But it could become a real uKernel OS in the long run.

   Apple releases part of the source code of XNU, it would make much more sense to me, to re-create something like the original Darwin CD out of this for x86-64. There are a number of MacOS CLI tools and drivers for x86_64. It may be a motivat

   Come on, AI needs data, relaxing GDPR brings more data. The question is what AI will do with these data and whether giving away privacy is good. There is no transparency or trust and for this reason I want to keep my privacy. But now, I am

    I think what they do is correct. We also need to get paid this way.

    Perl didn't die. It transformed to Raku. This is evolution. Not death. It found what are its strengths that would make it relevant today and it made the leap of faith. That is remarkable. No one need to switch to Perls 6 and Perl 5 can

    The title is correct. The landscape became dangerous because governments withdraw from regulating the space unleashing big corporates on citizen's privacy and options. It is a Corporate-Government dystopia.

    They don't reduce complexity. They translate C++ (static complexity) to JS (dynamic complexity). Also it is not complexity if XSLT lives in a third-party library with a well defined interface. Thei problem is control. They gain control

    Why keep XSLT if the huge majority of devs use the HTML5+CSS+Javascript combo? Why pump money on a standard which will not be used? Are XML technologies better or safer? Probably. However practice sets the standards. Is it a good thing? It

    Hacking software or hardware is so old school. The target these days is the user. The make-believe worm.

    I think String theory was a way to extort funding based on ignorance or snake oil tactics based on nebulous claims. There is a growing number of physicists exposing them.

    I initially saw all these maths in books about string theory and was scammed that these people are so clever and found something that it is hard for me to grasp. I did my MSc and diploma work in pure mathematics inspired by this. then I saw
