I Wonder if gaming models (like strategic game simulations) can help to visualize what we mean by luck. We can improve our luck or chance by education, taking chances, and etcetera. This is so easy to show in games (you stay passive you wil

The same thing is happening in Iran. I didn't know it still exists but then I just learned that it is so rampant that Iranian shopping companies may very much start their pyramid section of their business officially very soon. More tha

I remember using bitvisor (a very thin hypervisor like Xen but for intercepting sys-calls or hyper-calls) to see if Windows XP and Windows 7 send anything without being caught by the OS level firewall. It was actually but I never investigat

It is weird I didn't see the Gentoo Portage and BSD Ports as the first mentions. They are basically forerunners not sure if they are actually the first.

I find the comparison between ARM's GPU and others very interesting. I wonder what exactly Apple and Qualcomm are doing that they are way more efficient based on power usage?

Well many years ago his rational (which I agree) was that you should not be vague on the mailing list or people will be confused and Linux Kernel is serious. For all those who do not like this attitude, I point you to the responses coming f

Xen's hypervisor's size is very small. Qubes is about security and trustability of the whole system. In operating systems for measuring the trustability of the system, one very important measure is the lines of the code. Xen has a

I would have liked to see that too but I assume one of the reasons can be porting the BIOS/UEFI and Chipset Drivers, and keep the quality the same as the one that they have already. AMD has done good on the hardware but they are not fa
