I think building some sort of OS from scratch would be a wonderful class. I've actually thought about what _I_ would like to see in a class like this before. These ideas might be useful to you: 1. Use a widely available architecture. T

I probably would. I’m also in OMSCS and the two operating systems classes offered cover a very different spectrum (GIOS is more about learning the Linux OS interface and AOS is about experimental concepts in OS development). There isn’t a “

I see now. I stand corrected.

The implication from the comment was that Wine is better at running old Windows games than Windows itself. I’m not sure where this Linux vs. Windows comparison is coming from.

I wouldn't say I get "more" from a scatter plot, it's just a matter of accuracy and trusting the data. Smoothed plots add slopes and transitions that just don't exist.

Yes, that’s what I (implicitly) meant, but failed to mention. Thanks for the clarification.

This may come across as pedantic: I feel like you should never enable curve smoothing in these kinds of plots. Smoothing the curves makes it look pretty but then the plots are no longer entirely truthful.

I found it to be somewhat faster when comparing between the packages my distro had, but YMMV. What did make a _noticeable_ difference was to download the FreeRDP sources and compile everything statically. That blew Remmina out of the water.

During college my friend and I kept an innocent prank going for a couple of years: every time one of us left our laptops unlocked the other would jump in and type 'alias ls=sl' in the prompt and then clear the screen. Good times.

No engineer that works at SpaceX and is actually good at what s/he does would have an issue finding a job somewhere else. Having SpaceX on your resume is a guaranteed door opener. Everyone that I knew did it because they believed in th

The beta is open, I just got a welcome email from my previous registration attempt. But when I attempt to login I am again forced through the newsletter sign up screen. The beta and the newsletter are two different things.

Well, you can certainly stick to your convictions, no problem with that :) but that doesn’t mean you are right. You can’t compare against paralegals/lawyers because calling yourself a “lawyer” has legal implications, as in, you must be

It definitely is not orthogonal. Suppose an OS thread goes into an infinite loop. How do you cleanly stop it (feel free to assume Linux/Windows/MacOS)?. In Erlang this is possible because of the custom threading implementation.

by elteto 7y ago
How is runtime fault-tolerance achieved? My understanding of Erlang is that the BEAM VM implements these capabilities (custom threads, supervision, restarts, hot reload), but it is one level removed and above actual code. And they implement

I hope this myth would die. Most engineers don’t ever take a PE exam. The PE exam is only needed for a handful of disciplines, like civil and HVAC engineering. Even then, you only need the PE certification if you are going to be signing leg

I don't know how the Taycan compares to a Tesla, but Top Gear has had an anti-Tesla bias for a very long time, going back to when they did a negative review of the Roadster that was entirely fake and staged. So take its reviews with (u

We software types must be masochists. It took Rob Pike an hour in the comfort of his private office to write this piece of code. How is this _at all_ like a typical software interview?

I have the same issue, it's extremely annoying. I just use Reader mode.

In South Florida external walls are typically concrete, and roofs use ceramic roof tiles. I think roof frames are made of wood. Interesting note on the brick veneer. Even if they are not structural I think they are more durable than other t

Ah, so Beckhoff finally got around to add another OS besides Windows. They teased us with promises of Linux support for a while, but it took them too long and we already had experience with NI cRIOs so we just used that for our project.

> American houses are made of wood... Well, this depends on _where_ the house is built. Building codes vary wildly across the US. You won't find a new house in South Florida built out of wood. In Texas you will find a lot of new hou

I think there is an intrinsic tension in how C++ is being developed: the desire to expand the language and the desire to maintain backwards compatibility pull in different directions. As this proposal notes, there are many mistakes in the l

I think the parent comment meant "philosophically" based on Delphi since Anders Hejlsberg, the creator of C#, was also the creator of Turbo Pascal and chief architect of Delphi. He left Borland for Microsoft in the mid-90s.
