What we need is OS-level innovation that allows to safely run remote applications. Inferno partly went in that direction, but nothing else seems to have done any better AFAIK.

Is there any reason why these apps have to keep the database state locally? Why not just create a web service? The problem with this model would be keeping the server infrastructure running and getting some money to pay the bills, but it lo

How is this good news? That the hash rate has fallen so much means that coordinating a 51% attack is perfectly doable. Imagine that the missing hashing power was mining a parallel blockchain right now. We know it's not happening, but t

runit isn't comparable with systemd. It isn't even trying to be a powerful init system. You will incur in lots of complexity trying to deal with init systems that aren't much better than traditional init.

That's the fault of btrfs (ext4 or xfs handle these cases just fine), and even btrfs is getting support for it in the latest releases

There has been a lot of talk lately about big cloud companies using open source projects and forking them privately. I think the principles of the FSF are becoming more and more relevant, not less. People considered the GPLv3 excessive. Now

The disease is Myxomatosis, it still exists and won't disappear anytime soon. The government makes sure to introduced rabbits in the areas where the Lynx lives if there aren't enough of them.

The way vim works is actually the opposite of what your brain wants, this is one of the reasons why learning vim tricks is hard. The vim model is "action-object" (eg dw, delete word). A more natural, friendly and interactive model

In Spain buildings older than 50 years are required to be inspected and mandated to make reforms if necessary. I doubt it's much different in the rest of Europe/north America Also, buildings don't fall all of sudden. You woul

That's because on HN we know that 99% of the blockchain hype is about people discovering asymmetric cryptography and pretending that the blockchain is the only way to use it. The only real difference that blockchain solutions bring is

Adoption of ZFS has been a real problem for BSDs. In one hand, ZFS gives them a good storage stack. In the other hand, it does not have BSD license, it does not integrate well with the rest of the kernel, and it does not differentiate them

There is nothing that user space solutions do that can not be implemented in kernel space. From what I understand, the Linux kernel networking stack is not optimised to process packets in bulk, which is the only way to deal with high speeds
