Very insightful read. But I don't understand why he didn't continue the startup. He even identifies a yet unsolved problem. I would have cut the costs and continue in my own direction and try gaining traction. There is probably room for thi

I am surprised this is standard behavior. So if I allow user X to see my photos it means that user has a right to publish all my photo urls. It doesn't look good to me.

It's because Unix has become very popular and it is good enough for mainstream use despite its flaws. Plan 9 brings certain design improvements but they don't actually justify a need for replacement. It's actually not that surprising since

What surprised me is how this one evil guy took the effort to hack his server. Some strange motive is in place. Usually they scan ip addresses and ports and attack servers randomly.

Don't learn C++ as a starter language. C++ and Java are languages that have been mostly evolved from C. C was designed as a convenience tool to replace stack based assembler programming, which is what existed before any of these languages w

why do people need to use so much f ck sh t and d*ck when defending an argument I'll never understand. It doesn't make it any more influential or cool, if that's what is intended.

Blocking system configuration is not nice in that it limits freedom, but I think an employee must take responsibility when his tools don't work as expected and fix it at his own expense or just not take the chances and use the standard syst

Much of open source software source code sucks in linux. Things could have been leaner, smaller and written with cleaner source code. I haven't checked thoroughly but I am pretty sure I can find lots of places where code could be factored o

An operating system roadmap that promises to get leaner, smaller, faster on future versions. Not to flame but I switched to Ubuntu after Vista and never looked back.

It's very neat. I had a minor issues with changing text formatting. I would make sure they're smooth. Also the UI updates are mildly slow, e.g. when you press enter for a new line. Could make that a bit simpler/faster.

I think that's not their point. What they advocate is based on Tony Hoare's CSP model. When you introduce locks and share data, your program suddenly becomes extremely complex to validate. Yes if you are skilled enough, you can lock things

My girlfriend looks at me in a way she hasn’t since I surprised her by uncharacteristically demolishing a friend on the tennis court. That should have been fun.

If you buy any new ARM related boards I might buy a few from time to time. E.g. beagleboard and accessories, gumstix, toradex and accessories.

We had a similar problem with another vps provider. Some php script was remotely exploited and sending spam. They disabled the VPS. Our website and email was down for 24 hours. They enabled the VPS the next day for us to look at it. What's

We don't need a complex web application. We need a decent-looking website that describes the company, the products, possibly using rich content. A contact form, an integrated blog would also be nice. But we need something more than a basic

You are laying out certain facts well; if you are doing rare work on an expert subject its unlikely that anyone with the expertise will risk their time and career with your work. But I have not anywhere suggested that I am not willing to do

It's exactly the same problem we are facing. When the job requires very high technical skills its a dead end. I am looking for talented kernel engineers. If I go for employing someone high caliber, the costs would be in the 100K >= rang

From a point where he goes slightly off topic, but I really liked it: It's not so much that the game favors evil, but that the definition of "good" is really twisted: Good adj: anything which increases the stock price. Considerations ab

Who says ARM is going to be 32 bits? Rumors say they're going for 64 bits especially for servers. They will need to surpass 4GB limit on >=8 cores per chip.
