The mach kernels in general are buggy, regardless of the release. e.g. I'm pretty sure they end up delivering SIGPIPE to the wrong thread in some circumstances on Sierra. There is also a problem with recvmsg not returning control messa

In Germany you have to get a TV License for every household that owns a TV. That money is used to fund public broadcasters like ARD, WDR, etc. Now, you can watch the privately funded TV stations from the same TV ofc, but they don't rec

I'm working on RRDNS, but am a new member of the team. The big difference is that RRDNS contains all of our business logic to enable things like Orange clouding, and other DNS based features. Those depend a lot on how our infrastructur

I've tried this recently, and I can't get 10.11 to build the 10.11 xnu. Parts of the kernel throw deprecation errors, etc. Pretty weird actually. I'm assuming this is due to toolchain mismatch, but I haven't been able to

You should let people know that you have skin in the game. You are one of the founders of the company according to your profile.

You're making that assuming from a US viewpoint. In Germany every kid in school is on WhatsApp, as my teacher friends tell me. The same is probably valid for other markets.

Benchmarks in CI are hard, because you need them to run in the exact same environment to make any sort of conclusions. But CI's are often noisy, virtualised, dockerized, whateverized. There is not much benefit in that.

So all your application does is accept connections, send hello world, and close them again?

Yes, that is still the case. Cgo calls work the same. Note that the most common syscalls get special treatment though: file and network I/O use a thread pool and epoll/kqueue respectively.

In most cases this will boil down to: n := defaultVal if expr { n := otherVal } Which I think is easier to understand, and not that much more typing. YMMV of course.

Go doesn't really use libc all that much. Syscalls are also implemented in pure go + as, so there aren't really header files to provide. That makes for a great cross-compilation story.

I think you have proven my point. I'm talking about this: void something(const char* const s); Maybe I'm extrapolating here, but it surprised me.

The comment about changing the const pointers is subtly wrong. There are pointers to const memory and there are const pointers to memory. My favourite little known C fact. See also http://stackoverflow.com/questions/114

At the risk of repeating myself, if you're thinking of applying as a solo founder you're solving the wrong problem. You need a co-founder more than the money (see also: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9918690

I think you're setting yourself up for a world of hurt here. Starting a company is really hard, and there is very little downside to being in a team. VCs agree on this, and will show the same attitude towards solo founders as YC does.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but what happened to FoundationDB smells like an acqui-hire par excellence. This article provides an interesting alternative to the "Apple bought this space age technology to keep it to themselves" na
