   Ok, so IIUC, that could be especially useful if I were to go quasi-embedded way, meaning at least a "fully dedicated server" (for the one and only Process ...princess?), as a unikernel might then let me get closer to the metal wit

   Anyone has any leaks or something regarding what's the pixel resolution of the display? I'm curious if it would be theoretically possible to display vim in some 8x8 font on this...

   Thank you so much, for having integrity, keeping it, and telling about it here now. It's so reassuring for me and strenghtening to learn that there are more people in the industry who try to look deeper and keep some moral spine. I per

    I'm curious why I don't see any projects applying new ML techniques to text recognition (OCR) in those "advertisements" popping up recently; is this because: - too boring/mundane? - "solved problem"/

    Ok; so if you confirm my experience, I don't understand how you can at the same time claim Go is "backwards to C++" w.r.t. concurrency & race conditions. Did you mistype "superior" as "backwards"? Btw,

    Why exactly do you say Go is backwards to C++ with regards to concurrency and race conditions? Really curious. I worked on a sizeable C++ codebase, and it had a home-grown, buggy thread-pooling & task cancellation (similar to Go's

    The Ars article omitted an important background note about the guy, that he sold a company for $120M at one point, and that it was "cheaply" because he was forced to do so by a lost patent dispute: https://news.ycombina

    Problem is, the evil SEOs backdate, therefore he needs to prove that the content was created no earlier - thus IIUC, blockchain/Merkle tree can't help him...

    What syntax do you have in mind? Can you give sone example of what you see as easier in MySQL than Postgres? Genuinely curious, I don't have money in that game

    That doesn't invalidate the parent comment :) The code is pure Go, but parts of it originate in C by means of automatic translation during development of Go 1.4 (or whichever version it was).

    What's your relation with it nowadays? I'm very curious about NetBSD but never tried it yet. I sincerely wonder what's your opinion on it now, and why you speak about the situation only as "those days" now? :)

    I hold the source code of Go standard library & base distribution (i.e. compiler, etc.) in very high regard. Especially the standard library is, in my opinion, stunningly easy to read, explore and understand, while at the same time be

    Sure, one can roll on the ground hoping to get to a slightly higher place ("making Linux more secure"), or one can dig a hole, put up a foundation (L4, Genode, etc. etc.) and build a tower on it. Rolling on the floor is sure easie

    It is rather: security vs. non-security. Pragmatism pulls in the non-security direction. When security people see "Linux-based", they already know the thing is situated at some particular point on the scale, or worse. Linux has bi
