There are very good kernels written in Ada, like Ironclad[1]. Besides, what's the point of this comment? What if people wanted to write a million more Unix-like kernels in C? Do you think this is bad? Why do you care? If you want, just

That website format is very interesting. The original text (while also hyperlinked) on one side, and notes/explanations on the other side.

Ubuntu is supposed to be the most intuitive or friendly distro (very arguable), but it's a shame how bad and bloated it is. I have been using steam in arch-based distros for a very long time and I have had no issues at all running most

Basic/minimal designs are fine, but just by looking at the brand logo the buyer isn't really showing that he supports free open source projects, at least right now. Perhaps adding some tech-specific designs, as the other user sugg

It's the first time I ever see the function parameters declared like this: int my_function (a, b) int a; char *b; { ... body of function ... } What do you even call this?

Sure, but do you think that's the reason why there is an interest in promoting diverse teams? For helping the people "grow up"? Besides, that's only true if the differences are relatively small, you can't understand

I was intimidated by these math books, but I was able to find a lot of interesting stuff in "Applied Discrete Structures" by Al Doerr and Ken Levasseur[1]. I was attracted by the "Logic" section, and I was not disappoint

There are so many good (non-mainstream) tech articles to share. A lot of them are not repetitive. A lot are shared here every day. Yet, for some reason, people decide to share these self-help low effort articles on HN. Just make some "
