That is great news, and very encouraging! Of course the bootloader / boot process has to be able to be modified as well; we'll see how good/bad Dell does with that.

If it can't run Linux or the *BSDs, it's a closed device no different than a cell phone.

Well, what is the source of 'authority' in your view? Is it 'this is the best way to do it in my view', or is it 'because I said so'?

Wasn't Symbolics' Genera OS fully Lisp all the way down?

The goal was a reliable secure OS (achieved) that unfortunately was not very portable.

You can get a taste of the syntax from playing with REXX , which is an interpreted language that started on mainframes but has been ported almost everywhere.

So whose computer is it at this point? MS encrypts your data, but keeps the recovery key. Let's say you encrypt the drive, and then travel outside the country and come back. The border patrol officer says "I want to see everythin

Very likely a maintenance-related issue, given the age of the plane.

Wayland was started in 2008; the same year that Sun was already shipping Trusted Extensions for X11 that allowed per-window security controls. Trusted Solaris 7 had shipped in 1999; 9 years BEFORE Wayland ever existed. https://en

The real issue is that Microsoft's "engineering culture" looked down on the use of co-processor chips and wanted to do everything on a big CPU. Even in 2012 with the Pureview 808, Nokia had a pixel processing chip that could

I came to the conclusion a while back that Wayland just doesn't matter very much. As long as Chromium and Firefox plus the GUI mode of Emacs works under X11, that is all 90% of users need/use.

The difference is that they are turning OFF service, not just screwing up their network with stuff that is in theory, still in operation.

Lumen is a dead company walking. Level3's autocratic-yet-incompetent philosophy as espoused by their garbage-tier middle mangement, took over after Jeff Storey became CEO and it's been downhill ever since. You can see a lot of par

Lots of good ideas, very thought-provoking when comparing with how mgmt at most companies operate. Be aware however if trying to apply in real life that most managers will fight you since it seems counter-intuitive.

AT&T was the renamed Bell Telephone, responsible for the invention of huge swaths of technology. You can look at old PDFs of the Bell System Technical Journal, published 1922 to 1983. Bell was also the birthplace of Unix.

So basically if you can't run it anywhere other than AWS, it's no more newsworthy than talking about a COBOL compiler for an IBM mainframe; which is also equally capable of giving you 11 9's. BTW AWS can't possibly have

I am told that MIPS assembly is more regular or somehow "better" than x86, would be interesting to see if this translates to more assembler code being written for it.

This is self-reported: remember the 1000 Indians that were watching people shop at the Amazon Go stores? Amazon told us it was all "sensors" because it fit their company narrative to do so. I am not saying that Amazon doesn't

Note that at the time many programmers were familiar with assembler, since even mainframe shops coded in assembler for some projects.
