I believe you. There is an old proverb that states "One man's trash is another man's treasure."

For researchers at the cutting edge, a certain irony has emerged: New and sophisticated instruments are starting to produce so much data that supercomputers are needed to analyze experimental results. And scientists who try to analyze such huge datasets often struggle to master the complexity of the software needed to program the hardware. Great news for the next time you work on a supercomputer
"We wanted to create a programming environment that doesn't require every researcher to be a computer scientist," says Aiken, the Alcatel-Lucent Professor in Communications and Networking. Just what I think of when I want someone to work on my multi-million dollar hardware.

"We wanted to create a programming environment that doesn't require every researcher to be a computer scientist," says Aiken, the Alcatel-Lucent Professor in Communications and Networking. I somehow don't find it very encouraging that "the Alcatel-Lucent Professor in Communications and Networking" doesn't know the difference between a computer scientist and a computer programmer.

The problem with pretty much all new computer languages is that the inventors fail to respect all the challenges they have to solve and which have been solved over many years by the handful of mature languages.
What is a quite deceptive is how often many of these languages rely on a massive library/framework which often work great when you things exactly the way the inventors want, but fail miserably when you depart from their golden path.

A study led by Brown University researchers shows that it's possible to store and retrieve data stored in artificial metabolomes—arrays of liquid mixtures containing sugars, amino acids and other types of small molecules. Needs more skatole
I'd be surprised if they don't get reactions leading to contamination of their data.The researchers used the technique to successfully encode and retrieve a variety of image files of sizes up to 2 kilobytes. What's a 2kb image these days? I'd think people post emojis bigger than that.

Chronicle links the malware samples to Iran's APT33 group, which previously developed the infamous Shamoon malware. It's so rare that Outlook has a vulnerability, so worth noting
It was patched in 2017, but apparently still being targeted. Yay, sysadmins.

I find it fascinating how US news sites go on and on and on about Iranian-government-sponsored malware, Russian-government-sponsored malware, Chinese-government-sponsored malware, etc, but very briefly brush past the tiny fact that the root cause of most of the worlds problems with malware has been US-government-sponsored malware.

Opines that there's 'absolutely no way on Earth this was written from a clean sheet' Because it's taking away so much Windows marketshare
Yes, opinion was from 2017, but it's making the rounds now.

Good luck to them defending code that they have overtly, openly, and many times declared as being defunct, because the "Last Ever Version of Windows!"* is a complete rewrite.
* Actually, with their twice-hourly updates to emoji libraries, icons, etc, it's become "the last several thousand versions of windows"

Anyone else ever work with Phar Lap ETS, an OS with much of the same API as Win32Kernel32.dll?

That's because ETS was a stripped down version of Embedded Windows XP resold by a third-party vendor. I believe they added some drivers and claimed it was real-time.
I've never used it so I don't know much more about it.

It predated XP. I did a contract for a company using it in 1997 or 1998. We did development on NT 4.0 and then [the team lead] did a cross compile for final executable.

Well,
All of their products were built on top of Microsoft operating systems. It started out as a DOS Extender and eventually became an extension of the HAL on top of various Windows Embedded operating systems.
It's still being sold today under the name RTX.
I've never used it but it looks interesting. I wouldn't mind playing around with it this weekend if they have a trial version. Do you still have a licensed copy of the old ETS?

I never had a copy, I think for licensing reasons. As long as I followed several rules, whatever ran on NT 4 would run on ETS.
