Oh, hey, that's one of mine. Thanks for posting it.

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

  • lproven 1 day ago

    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!

      (And for the implicit acknowledgement that, as a mere reporter, I don't have much influence over the headlines at all, and most often the editors don't use my proposed headline, subhead, or often intro paragraph.)

        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.

      Is it not about a developer

      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".

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

      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.

        "Is it not about a developer

        Fucking first sentence let alone the rest "Yuri Zaporozhets of QRV Systems is a busy chap. He's built a new RISC-V-based personal computer, a mainframe on an FPGA, and rewritten QNX – twice."

        What do you get out of this? It's bizarre.
