According to the article he did that in a simulated environment, not the actual plane.
PostgreSQL has had PL/R since 2003.
Which is nice but doesn't really do anything for you if you're not using PostgreSQL, for example those using SQL Server.
I'm not reallyd sure that I understand that point. To me, thst would sound reasonable for educstionsl Ãr entertainment purposes, but are there any other meaningful reasons for writing an entire OS in assembler?
Today, not that much apart from looking cool. Not a lot of programmers know assembly that well anymore so writing a non-trivial operating system completely with it is definitely something to put on the resume. It used to be necessary to use assembly get good performance, but since the late 80's and early 90's it's not really necessary anymore on personal computers.
it's in trying to resolve problems later on, when you'll find that systemd helps you obscure the source of the trouble instead of resolve it.
Obscured in what way?
If it ever happened on a plane, then it means that the maintenance was intentionally skipped.
And that would of course never happen.
Especially since Firefox' certificates are hard-coded. Good luck removing untrustworthy CAs without recompiling the sourcecode.
That's easily done through the Certificate Manager.
Say "twenty-three-skiddoo" to logout.
