It's also not a theoretical concern for disconnected panels either; my late father was consultant in a lawsuit where a small mechanical design flaw in the solar panel connector boxes combined with rough installation procedures caused f

A properly secured SSH server still has a bigger attack surface than no SSH server and likewise a webserver+OS behind a WAF still has a bigger attack surface then a webserver without an OS. I guess this is defining things from a purely prag

Chrome doesn't run Adobe Flash; it runs its own version called PepperFlash by default. I know because I witnessed them breaking one Flash video-recording feature after the other trying to reimplement the damn thing...

Due to the startup time your average server would, in practice, still need to run an SSH server for remote administration which is a vector for attack. A MirageOS server you would instead just tear down and start a new version of. A WAF als

There is no reason the spun up OS can't also have non-blocking IO threads. Mirage's philosophy is mainly about reducing attack surface and unnecessary overhead. That it makes the OS so small that you can boot it up in millisecon

Amen. Also loved the book 'The Willpower Instinct' [1] in that respect. No magic solutions; just a collection of insights into the multitude of relevant dynamics at play here. [1] https://www.goodreads.com/book&#x2

That's what I gave it a try for and as I mentioned in my other comment the only thing it's accuracy would work for at the moment is focus-follows-gaze. It could work very well when combined with speech recognition and broad '

I had a somewhat similar experience with EyeTribe, their main competitor (bigger area, lower accuracy, not sure about single eye tracking.) One use-case I did see however was 'focus follows gaze' which seams at least could be fa

Playing the game from a weak base and trying to win through tricks (sleeping in a car, caffeine, etc., etc.) is not a good approach. It's like switching from the poker game to the slot-machines so you can try to hit the jackpot with th

Congratulations on the acquisition! I'm assuming that puts an end to my dreams of Wit.ai supporting device-local voice recognition with context-limited vocabularies to drive user interfaces though...

For what it's worth; the main component of your success I can't figure out how to replicate is ranking for your keyword. From my perspective your business model seems to be: 1. Pick a niche and figure out keywords for that nic

Hence the 'quotes.' Seems pretty relevant as this article is all about the author understanding open source in the way Atlassian e.a. do it.

by mtrimpe 12y ago
Not really. Most Atlassian products are "Open Source" in that after purchase you can download their source code. You are still not allowed to repackage it / modify it and sell derivative products / run multiple instances

I know I would get down-voted because of the display of emotion there but you replying with the Su-25 conspiracy theory which has been debunked ad-nauseam just really further makes my point. Pretty much everything I shared is fairly common

I am deeply aware of the minutiae of the conflict. Crimea's status was indeed complex which is why independence with a strong Russian bent would have been acceptable by all international players. In 2014 there is no excuse though for s

Reckless and suicidal as in annexing a part of a European country and virtually openly invading another part by force while simultaneously stepping up military intimidation against NATO allies across the board? Apparently so.

+1 on the message loss issues. Even got to the point where I would lose incoming messages if I didn't catch them on the notification screen.

I already knew what non-local was, but the examples of no force hence stationary and completely non-local is indeed what I was interested in. Would love to see that worked through in more detail!

What does "certain nonlocal effects" actually mean when put into layman's terms? It sounds convincing but I'm having trouble figuring out what it would actually mean....
