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.

Possible, yes. Efficient and applicable?

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.

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?

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.

Software changes fast, and developers will need to vigilantly reskill their workers to maintain competence in the highly competitive arena. It's true: resources need to be killed.
Or is he talking about reservations? I hate making those before going to restaurants anyway.

Oh, seriously!
Am I really going to open an article whose title has the words "reskilling" and "new software landscape" in it?
I don't carry my buzzword-bingo card with me, so it will have to wait.
