I thought there was a significant gap between our views, but I think you and I are of very similar viewpoints. Thanks for teasing something more detailed out of me, so I do not feel like so much of a troll.

I laugh, and get downvoted, because SecureBoot was a noble concept, and rightfully open source enthusiasts made it clear that trusting select corporate bodies and vested interests to be the sole distributor of keying material for the OS was

This seems to be a very exiting Linux development that was completely off my radar! And it appears there are attempts to integrate such notions of xdg-app into Fedora Atomic. From the presenter referenced in the article: https:/&#x2F

SecureBoot!? Hahahah, Linux Foundation marks this as critical? I am sorry to laugh, but thank God the LF and others fought tooth and nail for some way to have someone other than Microsoft have the key. But seriously, did anyone else laugh?

As a very green programmer, not just the tooling, but workflow blog posts and presentations like these are a god send! I wish learn x in my y minutes could pay people, especially those with weight in their respective language communities li

davexunit, one day I will need to track you down in real life. I think we would geek out all day on Scheme. I love when I see you and others mention your FRP Scheme in games work. Keep it up!

Obligatory Arabic story of the last few years: the Pakistani ambassador who was rejected for service in the Gulf, because his name is Akbar Zib. This is Arabic for biggest cock. https://encrypted.google.com/search?hl=en&

Very cool to hear. Where can we read more about this? Or is this an insider comment?

I am so jealous when I hear these damn stories. Another 5 or more years to go. Does anyone have a book about the method they develop? I bet that, following it to the T or not, it would sell here with the HN crowd.

I have a kid. And that is the only reason I do not abandon my pointless work. Anyone like this do it, and survive? I would love to see more motivational stories. Those who transitioned to professional clown work appreciated!

As someone who worked on crisis mapping stuff, how do they know this is ground truth? We had similar problems in Haiti and elsewhere with GIS ops for crisis operations, and with a lot less political value to demarcation of battle front lin

Oh I am aware, I just did not want to get in to the OSI and GNU spectrum of licensing. I was going to say Debianesque, but I kept deleting whatever I wrote in its place because I just thought it would lead to off-topic trolling. In short: I

I see people mentioning it on other threads, but is anyone usigin Guix? Or the dmd daemon system? I am curious because the GNU package set is quite limtied for obvious reasons, but I still would love to work my way up to a homegrown OS or

Cool. I would love to see a Linux/UNIX system introspection tool built in any of the ST implementations. And do you work on Etoile? I am very surprised to hear it was built with Smalltalk. I remember some devs on FLOSS Weekly years

I got some shit for bringing this up last time, and I will again. Does anyone use GNU Smalltalk and how does it compete with the CogVM on performance? (GNU Smalltalk is a text-based version of Smalltalk, on a separate dedicated VM, and appa

I remember brong and friends from FM talking about this on blogs and maybe the Email Forum. And it is finally starting to land! Very cool. Gotta love FM. Thanks from a paying customer!

Exactly, I can give more detail, but for obvious reasons I will not. Given what he posted, he is either from Syria or Yemen. And this is why, knowing the breakdown that you summarized, he will most certainly face a tough time. I work with

Please do not suggest this unless you know the full story. The conditions are bad, the pay is terrible, and the legal environment is most unpleasant. And due to cyber security laws, you will notice no one is going to sat more than that in

Currently, no. I avoid directly mentioning which countries I circulate between. But I did however live in Egypt during my years of studies 5+ years ago. I was not into IT and programming then, I was an Arabic language major.

Totally agreed. I use a few of those, and I have exempted pdf.js in the past because I would rather use that then native PDF readers on my work laptop, since Adobe Reader/Acrobat is a wonderfully famous vector. Inquiring minds would l

Our old infosec guy at work used the icefloor PF management tool at work. It seemed interesting, and I mention it in the vein of the venerable Little Snitch. http://www.hanynet.com/icefloor/

Oh man, do we have a lot in common. I happen to spend a lot of time in the Gulf at the moment. Recycling is new, and the divide between Westerners long since acclimdated from their own environs and the stark opposite is amusing. Here, ful

And hence I commented, in kind, with not addressing this at you. There is a wide and diverse audience in HN, and I wanted to point out they need to travel and see the world to better understand their culture and themselves, and the biases

In Egypt, specifically Cairo, it is more complicated than that. There is an entire pre-modern recycling system where a sizable group of the Christian minority who are lower class or below the poverty line live in neighborhood known as Muqa

Do you know of places where I can get no-name Telecom Engineering degrees online? I would not even care about the rep. I had friends in Egypt actually majoring in that, and stupidly it was long before I cared. OR I definitely would have g
