hmm.. Indeed as homo sapiens, we no longer have to forage on the Savannah and are far safer than our ancestors within in our nations, states, cities with our PS5s, 401Ks, I sometimes do wonder.. WTF is the point of my existence

Slackware is really a small/bare bones distro, "old schoolers" like it because in it's time (90s era) just having a Unix like system on a PC was amazing and it is considered very stable, now that GNU/Linux is everywhere today's distros are just easier to use.

https://github.com/SerenityOS/serenity folks are building a C++ based OS and they have discord access

Ditto, love his videos even though I don't code C++ , Understanding the OS internals, security mechanisms and design decisions are worth it for me.

You run NFS within which secure tunneler?

ah ok

Wait so this is an alternative Minix 3 FS written in Rust?

ok, something the poor kid could have bounced back from after a few years of bad credit etc... dam sad.

What happens if you over leverage and end up owing your broker after a bad trade and you can't pay it back..

Yea but as a Point of Sale application for retailers.. you have the luxury of running on a consistent hardware platform.

Mainly due to them being both more tightly integrated to C++/Python than JS/TS for building desktop apps.

This is great, you may want to look at getting this to run on retro gaming handheld consoles such as r/Bittboy r/RG350/ r/SBCGaming.. I could definitely see me playing with a friend on a retro console with the multiplayer feature. Not sure if they have wireless capabilities, yet an interesting project nonetheless, thanks for the write up.

I thought of that too, than my tinfoil hat went further on thinking that maybe this is just a QA test, a mild version of the pathogen released to see how far it spreads to fine tune the "production" version.

The old Java GUI = Slow/bad/Ugly, stemming from the 1.(4?)-1.6 days of clunky AWT GUI interfaces.

I wonder if Thorium based reactors suffer the same issues at scale.

Author, if you decide to build more of this kernel any thoughts on providing live screencasts of the implementation like Andrew Kelly (Zig) and Andreas Kling (SerenityOS) on Youtube and/or Twitch. I never realized how effective it is for me to watch others go through the mental process of coding/debugging.

Nim's GC is optional

Part 2: Optimizing for HN frontpage

I normally use scrypt (with passphrase) for file encryption for personal backups.. age isn't competing with this use case i take it?

The only thing I see where Golang wins over the JVM is overall memory usage for daemons.. As Khan is non-profit they want to save at any avenue.

FYI.. there's also SNEK https://keithp.com/snek/snek.html which claims to have an even smaller footprint than MicroPython for Arduino Duemilanove compatible hardware. A recent talk at North Bay Python https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=llghdGHtxVQ

Brian Will's video covers code pages succinctly https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IM-vnsnLGd4

Eh more like C++, Zig is more of a modern C

I started my Linux journey in ~2002 with Slackware to get ipchains ip masquerade (nat) working for multiple machines to share a modem connection. Today I prefer Arch or Debian but Slack will always be that first that popped the cherry.

Exactly, I actually thought Knoppix was abandoned .. The current trend setters I would say are Arch/Nix/Alpine/Ubuntu and their derivatives.

ah gotcha, thanks

Question for the hardware enthusiasts.. if the PowerPC is now opensourced, how do programs such as QEMU emulate a closed ISA? reverse engineering?
