I wonder what corroded Teflon means, chemically speaking

Reading Slashdot's summary, this is about malign hypercholesterolemia, a rare condition where cholesterol levels are about dozens of g/L. That is not likely to be of any use for people that just have "normal" high cholesterol.

Hence they cannot update the software?

We will also need to convert maintainers to Rust. I suspect it is better to have maintained code in C, rather than abandonware in Rust.

Such an institution is difficult to design so that it remains fair. France's conseil constitutionnel is packed with old politicians chosen by the president, and presidents of the parilament's chambers. What can possibly go wrong?

France has three top courts: The conseil constitutionnel, whose duty is to check that laws are not in conflict this the constitution. The cour de cassation, is the top court for all cases that do not involve the state, and the conseil d'état, which is the legal adviser to the government and the top court for all cases against the state.

And then there are two European top courts above the three french top courts: the European court of justice and the European court of human rights.

That is a lot of top courts.

Lost expertise is part of the cost of migration. It is often hidden because the persons that take the decision do not even know about it.

You can experience it if you have Linux sysadmins with years of experience, and you switch your server to Windows (and vice-versa). But I am not sure there is a lot of user expertise in user interfaces.

Precisely. I understand we are better protected than insects by our immune system and our high temperature, but that still looks like a dangerous idea

And when it it considered not dangerous anymore? After 95% radioactivity is gone? 99.7% More?

In other words, retirement is so bad that workers would prefer working to death?

Given the size of Airbus, and given documented past NSA spying, I would expect them to use on-premise installations for critical applications.

No, just that the recyclable claim is only 5% truth

With only 2% of polypropylene and 5% of polyethylene recycled, the ones that claim plastic is recycled should be sued too.

20 years ago, a previous attempt based on NetBSD. Today's project seems more advanced.

Here is the context: If you publish software under GPL license, then a third party the bundles your software must publish under GPL. This is the "viral" feature of GPL, and its intent is to prevent anyone making GPL'ed code proprietary

But sometimes, you want to be ripped, so that your implementation spreads everywhere, including in proprietary software. The BSD license allows that, the only duty for the ripper being to reproduce the BSD license when distributing its own software. The BSD license can be "viral", but in a very different way.

Some authors suggested TCP/IP would never have reached the status of interoperable standard, if numerous actors had not been able to copy the BSD implementation in their proprietary software
