Charlie McHenry<p>Elon Musk to Take on Microsoft With 'Macrohard'…and sexual innuendos ensue🔥 “The goal is to create hundreds of specialized coding and generative AI agents.

Windows: What's New and What's Next?
Windows 11 is constantly getting little makeovers, with a big push on AI-powered features like Smart App Control and how Microsoft Copilot blends into your daily tasks. And the whispers about Windows 12 are still out there! People are guessing it'll be even more AI-driven and super modular, but we're still waiting for an official word on when we'll actually see it.

What #unixlike operating systems do you know which are easy to port? Something like #NetBSD. I wonder if there is anything written in #commonlisp or #rust

There are some options but I'm not sure how much easy are they to port. I've heard many positive comments about bare metal development using Rust. I wonder how is common lisp in this regard.

I have extensive programming experience but not on bare metal or kernel programming.

Boosts for wider participation in the discussion are welcome.

Security engineer @alexhaydock acquired a Wii at the #EMF2024 Swap Shop. He intended to use it to emulate games, but when he realized that it could be used to host a website, he decided to try that instead. @404mediaco’s Samantha Cole spoke to him about how well it’s working, and what he’s planning to do with it (#EMF2026, here he comes). Check out the second link to find out how our friends at 404 are doing, and what they’re cooking up next.
