Sorry, I should have said "mainstream OSs", meaning Linux, Mac OS X, Windows. Case in point - though not a topic of this particular discussion, neither of the three were designed with security in mind. Most of the security featur

"Socialism" might mean different things for different people. I think the article confuses (when it talks about Sanders) a flatter distribution of income (a feature that I would attribute more to social democratic societies of Nor

This is such nonsense! "TeaVM is an open source project that takes Java code and converts it to fast, compact JavaScript at build time." How about integrating a small subset of JVM into the browser and allow it to manipulate DOM,
