Chemical engineering is mostly about 'plumbing' - pipes, tanks, valves, etc. Fluid dynamics. It's much closer to physics than chemistry most of the time from what I understand. Chemistry doesn't have the same stereotypic

Yes, hundreds, many of which are now being 'reinvented' or 'rediscovered'. Time to figure out how to persuade investors to get on board - processor architecture isn't one of their fads at the moment.

On the 40th anniversary of Inmos, creators of Transputer, we filmed this set of talks discussing the legacy and impact of Inmos in Bristol, UK. You'll find some fun insight into Inmos and the transputer in some of the longer talks. ht

There's a nice quote on this topic from David May, ISA designer of the Transputer, at the end of this article (available free if you sign up - irritating pay wall): https://www.telegraph.co.uk/technology/2019/

"71% of WeWork members were corporate full-timers at companies that were either located in a WeWork office or used WeWork to house their remote teams" Is another example of hype. The source article linked to merely says "Seve

This article is mostly hype and hyperbole it seems to me. A quick source check (note: not a fact check by any means!) of just some of the stats in the article show how badly they've misquoted. It claims '40% of American workers wi

Our articles and videos are largely language independent so still contain a lot of very valuable information for any OS developer, irrespective of language. I would say our codebase is useful for seeing how to make the various drivers work

Thanks!

Yes MVB has lots of international students (as social secretary of BEEES I do talk to them regularly! ;) ), but the ones who actually have all the technical language (good enough to translate the docs accurately) are (at a guess) busy third

Haha it's always at the lowest! My flat really is that noisy. And the video I'm (slowly) uploading now is even worse because I don't have my mic so it's laptop recorded - wanted to post something to "ride the New Ye

Yep but we're looking at the creator CI20 or CI40 boards as our compiler supports MIPS. I tend to only listen to the positive stuff from Reddit and the like but that said, we've not had any notable amount of negative feedback onli

Master should now be stable such that the console appears and you can type into it. You should also be able to Alt+Tab between the two shells. Please note though, the codebase has been being transformed for the past 2 months and there'

Thanks for the share! This is really valuable for the project and has given us great feedback and positive messages.

This is an interesting issue - how people interpet the name seems to come out 50/50 between "OS for learning OS dev" and "OS for educational content". In my experience, people's backgrounds are the biggest fact

Thanks! Good to hear. We haven't yet but we're planning to in late 2016. We are hoping to produce an OS dev kit for A-Level / first-year univeristy students which we can sell at low cost. Awesome that you're from UoB! Sh

We'll add more detail in future but here's a brief article covering the key points: http://flingos.co.uk/docs/reference/How-CSharp/ I've also added a sentence to the Introduction section of the

You've very much hit the nail on the head. However, though it's hard, it's not impossible - we've got some magic (read as: not suitable for a public forum) in the business pipeline that should keep this project alive. If

Compile our compiler against XBuild and apparently it works (according to one Reddit user). Unlikely to work with MonoDevelops default/old compiler.

Apologies, I committed to master instead of develop last night which caused a regression (we've just implemented a new scheduler). We'll be back to working order soon enough :)

Interesting to read your comment - I'll update the article to make the information more readily available. Cheers, Ed
