It doesn't per se. The Insider Trading rules at my company speak about anyone living in your household as well as any close family members. Guess that's because there is reasonable assumption you'd be able to tell those peopl

Ack. "Making a living and living well" is a motivation people sometimes tend to frown at. It's a pretty good one imho.

Great tool that everyone should be using for shell scripts! Then again, I've learnt more than once that you start with "I'm just capturing a few commands in a script" and the next thing you see is a mess of special chara

It depends on your field. In some (biotech for example) it's a prerequisite for an industry career. Having one in CS myself U can assure you are right for the IT field. Getting this PhD was about personal aspiration rather than career

And it works great! I'm using it to run Windows-only games on Linux without issues. (I'm not playing extremely demanding titles, though.)

Am I the only one wondering how the discussion to his email thread went back then?

Virtual machines running Linux have actually become quite popular in the past decade. ;) It's not the research project's fault that a different mechanism is used in the public cloud. As for microkernels, they are actually used, bu

Might be worth noting that this link itself points to the university project. Most of the main developers moved on and founded a company that's providing microkernel technology commercially: https://www.kernkonzept.com Disc

Not quite. It was rebranded and even is commercially supported these days: https://www.kernkonzept.com/l4re.html

Yes, you'd write some assembly or C. Or your start from existing demos: https://samsclass.info/123/proj14/spectre.htm

Performance is all nice and such. Did anyone validate that the new processors actually mitigate Spectre and Meltdown?

I don't think this professor is exceptional, but rather the norm. As a PhD student in computer science I regularly observed people publishing papers overlapped to 80% with their previous paper. The difference being that paper 1 was tit

I guess we'd never found out without GDPR. This is why big corporations require regulation because a single user will never win this fight.

On average I'm spending way more time with my colleagues than my drinking buddies, so I would really like someone that I can get along with.

Let's focus on the 'cooolest thing' questions as the others are indeed useless in an interview. The whole point of this question is to see if you are excited about something you did and if this excitement resonates with the i

My understanding is that unikernels are single-application by design. I agree that a mechanism to spawn other apps is useful, but in this case it won't be a simple fork but the creation of a complete new os instance.

C is not used in the embedded space for 'political' reasons but for the fact that in contrast to C++ you have full control over what your program does and don't have to worry about when certain functions get magically called

OpenBSD's history of leaking embargoed information might be a reason here. If you don't play by the rules, the adults don't let you play anymore.

The fall of the Berlin Wall saved him back then. He was facing internal opposition that wanted to get rid of him as party leader and given the economic situation people believed he would not win the next federal election either. Then histor

This system is actually designed to disincentivize assistance because only first author publications will net you scientific credits when it comes to jobs or funding.

I think from his perspective he was just trying his best to help his country win the war. As did many of the US scientists involved in the Manhattan project. For both cases one can argue that their deeds brought great suffering to people. A

Quite a long piece of text for that he essentially says that he doesn't have enough data to answer the question. Also: if your article is headed with a question, the answer usually is no.
