   Professor do not only "talk," as the article states. He might be confusing them with instructors. Professors with research responsibilities, often 1/3rd to >50% of their duties, are "publish or perish". My profes

   Yeah, and the thing about forking is, it's not that it shouldn't be done, but it should be done in an organized way- too much forking and you could have many people interested in a common alternative, but not enough coordination t

   I would agree that the linux kernel is not anarchist, because only one mainline production version is released- the most recent with Rust, for example. I actually think the wish to view linux as a binary "joined" or "not join

    I agree- my friend at school had a Pentium 200Mhz with 16MB of RAM, and I only had 8 for several years. Since Tinycore needs around 48MB of RAM it would be interesting to try out something like Tiny Slitaz, which can run on 4MB: https:&#x2

    My first PC was Windows 95 on a Packard bell 100Mhz Pentium with 8MB RAM. It had 16 bit color with 1 MB of video RAM, and yet a GUI is really hard to do today with that amount of RAM. I would like to see an OS today do that. https:/&#

    Hi, neolog! I lead the solar/low-power OS group. The picture in the article is from a Samsung NC215S from 2011, though few, if any laptops have been made to run solar. I am researching ways to use microcontrollers to run a limited form

    Hi jrrr! I am co-developer of PaperTerm- I agree it is very niche right now. The Pomera DM30 is a distraction free typewriter- it is relatively new (there is also much older options like the AlphaSmart Neo2)- I hope to develop something sim

    Definitely agree. There is a profit incentive to make laptops powerful but there is very little competition at the low end, unfortunately. I solar powered a microcontroller in indoor light just to prove that powering a computer is possible

    Hacking is more a way of thinking than a skill to be learned. For example, When I look at e-ink displays, I think of its potential as a general purpose monitor, even though 99% of eink screens are not general purpose monitors with HDMI&#x2F
