This title unfortunately does not give any information about what the article is about.

It is about the hobby projects of Yuri Zaporozhets.

Over the last few years, he has:

* Taken the last public source code snapshot of QNX, version 6.4, got it building again and then ported this 32-bit kernel to 64-bit RISC-V

* Built a new RISC-V based IBM-PC-like personal computer from scratch on an FPGA

* Built a little-endian IBM S/360-like mainframe on the same FPGA

* Built a new RISC-V RTOS inspired by QNX but FOSS, with 2 alternate kernels: his own multiprocessor microkernel, or seL4.

Which is you see too much to fit into an HN title.

Is it not about a developer and kernels and risc-v ? ... what do you know, it is.

The Register editor doesn't need that refresher course you're offering after all.

Thank you!

So it's a bad low information title and you aren't defending it and know it's bad, or it's just fine to have a low information title? Seems like you're playing both sides here and not taking responsibility.

Not even a word from the title.

and kernels and risc-v

That's like writing an article about a world cup game and titling it "some guys, a ball and a field".

I think you're hallucinating things that were never said.

Since you mention it though, this is journalism 101 taught in middle school english. You don't need a where on the internet, but there is no who, what and why.
