Joe mentions working with "existing language package managers". That probably doesn't include nixpkgs, but perhaps it could.

Yup, spot on. The meaning of "buscar" is really narrow, "discover the location of a thing", so even if the officer pointed at the car while saying "puedo buscar el auto", the only reasonable response would have

Agreed, we do give a lot to private companies in order to get the benefits of their products, and they're constantly pushing for more. I just feel that the internet as a utility is still too new for us to know exactly what the right re

> Also, take away right of way to private ISPs, and let citizens and municipalities charge arbitrary amounts for anything going over their property. That would make private ISPs go away.

I use this for sql queries: const user = await db.connect(sql => sql.getUserById(43)) The sql value is a proxy that looks for a file called 'getUserById.sql', reads sql out of it, sends the query to the database, and r

The mothers are dying for nothing. To the extent they can tell how well their eggs are doing, it must be terribly sad.

To put it more positively, progress is made by stringing together many small incremental improvements. Even the RISC revolution started as a special purpose project that stripped away the inessential to achieve a specific, narrow goal.

And now, so does 1.1.1.1. I suspect it was something sonic.net was doing, and they had to fix it when this announcement was made.

Looks that way. 1.0.0.1 works fine though.

Sure there is. Data on accidents involving human drivers is statistically useful for estimating risks from self-driving cars. Yes, driving machines are likely to be better at driving than humans. But there a ton of other factors which are t

Yeah, I hate that. I keep getting files that have a ".docx" extension and I have no idea what to do with them. And the designers are using some program that uses ".ps". Thanks guys.

Yacc/bison seems pretty common for stuff implemented in C.

Yeah. I would say that Monticello was Smalltalk's git. It does the same sort of method-level versioning as ENVY, but it's a true distributed version control system: there's no central server, no locking, and you can always pu

Lots of people are pointing out that with the Host header one web server can handle multiple domains. Yes, that's true. It's be useful in cases where you have one organization that hosts multiple domains. Then you just configure y

Add SRV lookups to the HTTP standard. There's a tremendous amount of complexity and cost attached to the fact that browsers look up the IP address of the hostname and then connect to port 80. First, it's true that you can specify

Yes, exactly. The article would be much stronger if it also covered ways in which unikernels either don't improve security, or are actually more vulnerable.

Not at all. If you want to become wealthy, being broke is way better than being in debt.

Ugh. The last thing the world needs is more formulaic news stories. We need to move past the idea that the web is a virtual newspaper. News sites don't even use hyperlinks effectively, let alone audio/video/interaction. We sh

I've long thought that a combination of NixOS and illumos would be incredibly useful. Software would be installed into the nix store in the global zone, and mapped into dedicated zones for each user. IP and port virtualization via Cros

It doesn't matter if they're successful or not. The point is that bright, hard-working people left Google, and chances are, they won't be back even if the startup doesn't pan out. If they try out their idea in Area 120 i

No, Nix syntax is much nicer than Javascript. Consider, for example, the similarity between a let expression and an attribute set (NOT JSON by the way): let foo = 42; bar = "a string"; in { baz = "deja"

I'm interested in it from a purely technological point of view. Linux is almost 30 years old, and it's architecture is almost 50 years old. Xnu, which is the kernel of iOS is a bit more modern, but Apple has gradually moved it bac

The problem is that the coins won't be useful unless the entire country adopts them together. By signalling that they're not really serious about it, the Treasury ensures that they won't be adopted. Transforming the currency

Yeah. When I was in J-school, I covered a court case where a man was convicted of DUI when the cops found him asleep in the back seat of a car with the engine running. He knew he was too drunk to drive and decided to sleep it off in the bac

Oh, and it's worth noting that Dart is essentially the modern version of all this: a dynamic, class-based language, a fast VM that optimizes base on type feedback, and an IDE based on optional static type annotations. It's no coin

If I've understood the lore correctly, Sun chose Java over Self as their big language for the future. Some of the key people that worked on the Self VM (including Urs Hölzle and Lars Bak) left to join Anamorphic, founded by David Grisw

They did fancy 3D imaging of a jaw found in Greece and a tooth found in Bulgaria. The roots and interior structures of the teeth resemble human teeth more than it appears from the outside, so maybe these belong to early humans. The fossils

What do you mean by "resource permissioning"? There doesn't seem to be anything in the article about that.
