There are very good kernels written in Ada, like Ironclad[1]. Besides, what's the point of this comment? What if people wanted to write a million more Unix-like kernels in C? Do yo…

That color scheme is nice for my eyes.

That website format is very interesting. The original text (while also hyperlinked) on one side, and notes/explanations on the other side.

Ubuntu is supposed to be the most intuitive or friendly distro (very arguable), but it's a shame how bad and bloated it is. I have been using steam in arch-based distros for a very…

I was intimidated by these math books, but I was able to find a lot of interesting stuff in "Applied Discrete Structures" by Al Doerr and Ken Levasseur[1]. I was attracted by the "…

There are so many good (non-mainstream) tech articles to share. A lot of them are not repetitive. A lot are shared here every day. Yet, for some reason, people decide to share thes…

Thank you for sharing this, very useful. The BYTE magazine is absolutely amazing, it's a shame nothing similar could be done today.
