Not sure I buy that explanation. Looking through this repo, the kernel, drivers, and many core libraries seem to be written from scratch with no dependencies. There are some deps for reading images, and other things outside of kernel/d

That is not how safety margins work. Safety margins are meant to give a buffer for unforeseen circumstances, they are not a ticket to just cheat. With this logic... why stop at a 25A breaker (30 in the US)? Why not just plug a 20A device

They have had these for years in OR suites to dispense surgical scrub soap. They use an air bulb and tubing rather than mechanical link since that is much more durable and cheaper to replace. These obviously present an accessibility issue i

The scheduler overhead and the cost of context-switches are vastly overstated compared to alternatives. The per thread stack space in effect has virtually no run-time cost, and starting off at a single 4k page for a stack, thousands still o

401k backed loans are nothing new. The incentive is the avoidance of tax penalties (or less obtusely that's the disincentive at the federal level to just withdrawing). It's not to prevent stock sell-offs, it's to prevent peop

If you're using KDE, Qt is "native native". You're fundamentally mistaken about where Qt sits in the stack - it effectively sits in the same place as USER32/WinForms in Windows or NS/Cocoa GUI widgets of OSX. I

The difference between pointers and references can easily become muddled. If you have a language with pointers that are non-nullable, type- and memory-safe, is that not high-level? I think a good real-world example that exposes the problem

Building on X gets you very little other than compatibility with the X ecosystem - something that had little to no value to Apple - they certainly didn't want to promote OSX as some kind of Xserver in place of writing quality Mac apps.
