The Systems group at ETH Zürich where I studied had their own operating system, called Barrelfish because apparently making an OS is as easy as shooting fish in a barrel to these crazy people (this is meant positively, I hold them in high esteem). Side note they also made their own computer called Enzian. The combination of both is intended to allow them to do research off the beaten path with some different core design choices.

And we built our own student versions of barrelfish-like OSes during a course, if I recall correctly we only used their boot code to get the ARM cores on the Pandaboards up and running, then everything else was individual per group of four. We all had a lot of fun with our very individual memory management bugs, filesystem bugs, shell bugs, capability bugs and so on :-)

PS: There is also Redox OS where some people wrote an OS completely in Rust.

And why isn’t “a male” just as bad?

It is.

And what’s intrinsically wrong about those two as a noun?

Because you're reducing people to their characteristics of identity.

Why is it ok to call someone “a fire fighter“, “a journalist”, and not “a female”?

Because those are characteristics of their chosen functions.

It seems pretty easy to me, and I'm not even a native speaker.

That seems weird, it's called mother of all breaches, but isn't the result of any one breach. It's just data collection from ordinary breaches with perhaps some credential stuffing in the mix.

Of course he doesn't want that, he strengthened Hamas specifically so there would be no single clear entity in the PNA with which he would have to negotiate for a two state solution. Except he underestimated Hamas and they became too strong. I don't understand what his current theory of victory is though... annexing Gaza?

87% of teenagers use Apple

Do you mean US American teenagers, or North American teenagers, or who exactly? Surely that can't be global?

The financial types are generally more interested in hollow core fiber, to get their latencies even further down for high frequency trading. Because light travels at almost c in hollow core but only at 2/3 c in fiber core.

Just a small note, it's written dB, small "d", big "B".

"B" is the unit symbol for bel and "d" is the symbol for the SI prefix deci, a tenth.

Wow the explanation of how they reverse engineered their way to pixel atomics was super interesting!

To me that whole royalties spiel was always just marketing to bait non-technical people into adopting the NFT system.

I've never seen anyone build and use an enforcable mechanism for a multi transaction chain to pay out to one original address repeatedly. I think at the very least you would always have to hold the NFT in a multi sig wallet between the artist and the current owner, for the artist to have a mechanism to keep enforcing their royalty claims. That would also require involvement of the artist in every further transaction.

Maybe I'm missing something like a smart contract that can fabricate new multi sig transactions on demand with pre-approval of the artist somehow... If anyone knows of something like that I'd be interested in the technical details.
