I would have mentioned their terrible dev practices like letting their site cert expire… Five times…

Dunno. I don’t live there.

Hello “Zero”!

Basically nothing is ever truly zero

Hey, don’t you know you need to become a Microsoft Certified Solutions Expert to do business properly?

Check out Blender. It’s primarily a 3D modeling software like Maya or Houdini, but it has an incredibly powerful video editor built into it.

That’s why you need to pay for premium so you can get the 1080p premium bitrate.

Such a contradictory sentence. Can’t wait for The Final Experiment to be done with, so we can eject any remaining flerfs from society.

I think the best bet is an entirely new system from the ground up that has an open architecture that every company can equally implement that from the ground up and is as simple as possible.

This keeps getting said by people who don’t understand operating systems. Even if you build something from the ground up, you still end up with an operating system very much like Linux and Windows. The choices that were made for each OS were not random. The principles of I/O, user input, graphics display, filesystems, etc, are more or less universal concepts across all OSes.

What you will accomplish is making an OS that no one will use. Linux, Windows, and macOS already fill every market that can be filled. Microsoft tried to become a third player in the mobile market and their product died pretty quickly.

Google has been trying to build Fuschia into a new OS and they’ve asked back their ambitions (from what I recall reading).

I’m getting non-stop Samsung, insurance, food, and other kinds of ads in the middle of shows.

It makes me not want to use Prime. And in fact, I don’t anymore.

I have my money on Tesla being the first cloud-connected car (that phrase shouldn’t exist) to be hacked and push a malicious firmware that will cause all cars to simultaneously activate self driving and to pull a hard left at a specific time (time bomb).

Thank goodness they cleared out all that snow and ice so that we can finally see the pretty mountains.

He just mentioned it as an example of a kernel written in Rust. The interviewer asked if Rust isn’t accepted into the Linux kernel, would someone go out and build their own in Rust, and Linus mentioned Redox saying that’s already happened.

It was a joke

wooosh

Couldn’t even use a 16 Pro?

I think Linus mentioned Redox directly during the interview

Long time “old-school” kernel maintainers don’t know Rust and don’t want to learn Rust (completely fair and reasonable). But some of them don’t want to work with the Rust guys for lots’o’technical reasons.

It’s by far not an easy situation technically. Like this is a huge challenge.

But some of those old-school C guys are being vocal about their dislike of Rust in the kernel and gatekeeping the process. This came to a head at a recent conference (Linux Plumbers Conference?) and now one of the Rust maintainers has quit.

The big technical challenge is being confounded by professional opinions.
