NestedVM was able to do this over a decade ago. http://git.megacz.com/?p=nestedvm.git;a=summary And is actually open source, not "free for open source". Kudos to the developers though, I'm not trying to bash

Also keep in mind this article is in the Wall Street Journal... take it with a grain of stock price PR salt... sadly developers and engineers at IBM are going to get the sh* end of that stick. Anecdotally... we have a lot of IBM stuff here

It sure is possible. When I got out of the army I had no degree, no professional experience, just what I had taught myself and learned in a few classes that I had taken along the way. I went to work at a software sweatshop that had low pay

Thank you for putting this presentation. Always nice to cut through the hype and see how things really work. I knew Docker used namespacing for some quasi-virtualization, but was wary of using it because I haven't had time to dissect i

Never work for free, unless it is for yourself. If you want a trial by fire education, go on elance or odesk or whatever people do to freelance now and pick up some small projects that you feel comfortable that you can complete. Do that fo

Did you ever think the government tells you more than it can know?

Is there another step after this one? Or does this get you in?

Industry-specific concerns like that could easily be addressed privately by trade associations that have incentive to prevent the sort of mutually assured destruction that you describe.

I completely disagree that patents protect "the little guy" with the best ideas from those with the most money. Patents make it illegal to implement ideas. So if you come up with the best ideas, you are the one that is the most re

To clarify, I was making a point about the implication inherent in a "This vs. That" comparison... IMHO it is a total distraction, especially with contrived benchmarks, no matter how good they are. A few years back I remember Bria

Not "all main payment operators". More accurate title would be "many major payment operators". Not a big deal but it comes off as presumptuous to suggest that paymentfont.io is the arbiter of what a "main payment

Look, Java is my right hand language, and I've never written a single line of Go in my life. But this is kind of unfair I think... the OpenJDK JVM has 20 years of development behind it, and has probably had mountains of money sunk into

Fair enough, I agree your definition of a unikernel and OSv isn't that exactly.

If Moore's Law is over, the Gates' Law ( http://catb.org/jargon/html/G/Gatess-Law.html ) is sure to follow... unikernels seem like one solution to cut out a lot of cruft and get more out of the same h

This is definitely a developing trend... seems to be catching on that most server applications are more or less single programs that just use the OS as an emulation layer so that applications don't need to come with their own low level

I'd like to add, based on this quotation: "The programmer using such a system will write his beautifully-structured, but possibly inefficient, program P; then he will interactively specify transformations that make it efficient.&q

> "NPR, along with the NAB, has been part of a lobbying effort to require this free radio feature to be enabled" Do we really need a law for this? If people wanted it they would just demand it from manufacturers and/or car

I find it difficult to imagine mere speech could actually violate someone's patent in light of more recent rulings (more recent than 2011 that is) The main lynchpin in my thinking is Alice Corp v CLS Bank Intl - that an abstract idea i

I'm not being sarcastic, this is a serious question because the specifics of this are over my head Are you saying that the "nested kernel" architecture technically increases the surface area for attack, or is the problem that

Cool thanks, you're right it was John Sullivan... should have looked it up before trusting my memory... I was thinking of his original talk: http://faif.us/cast/2012/feb/28/0x23/

I'd say this article is mostly spot on... the assertion that this is male biological urge is probably true. I believe at its core it is a desire to identify oneself as a member of a group of "manly" males and to prove one&#x

Awesome, thanks for the feedback. I definitely appreciate the heads up as well, glad I might be able to avoid having to learn the hard way :)
