In a previous post (a little over a year ago) about the same engine I posted a link to a video with a Q&A with Elon Musk where he was a bit pessimistic about the idea. I'm not a rocket scientist so I wouldn't know the first th

It may very well go that way, but I think unikernels (like MirageOS ( http://http://www.openmirage.org/ ) are very interesting as well. A paravirtualized unikernel should be able to carry less overhead than regular

A really important (I think) point with regards to all the comparisons to Go and other similar languages that pop up in every Rust post : Many seem to think that only Rust is suitable for kernelspace but are questioning whether Go or Rust

I'm a meditation novice so take this with a grain of salt, but the only "For Dummies"-book I've ever enjoyed was "Meditation For Dummies". It's not a heavy read like some meditation tomes can be but it&#x2

Pardon a foreigner. I'd like to understand this. Are you saying that there's law in California (i.e. something you can violate that the justice system has the authority to punish you over) that is not freely (as in freedom) availa

I don't usually complain about titles (and I know it's the original one from the article), but I came here with the fascinated (though admittedly skeptical) hope that someone had improved radically on botnet DDoS mitigation techni

Nicely done! I remember getting the original game for Christmas one year as a kid, and it was lots of fun. This brings back memories. Kudos!

I too am very disappointed and agree with the other commenter who said they are big enough that they don't have to worry about closing it. When I realized I wanted an API key they had already stopped handing them out, and now the axe f

What kind of conflict resolution does the syncing perform? If it is done automatically by iCloud, what does it do when two notes are edited simultaneously on two or more devices?

Since I believe I may have the project managers attention for a brief moment, I might be so bold as to ask a few questions :) * In the e10s-addon-docs etherpad, it says that you expect a solid browser (ignoring addons) in Q2 and then with c

It may sound ridiculously obvious, but I think it's often a matter of being able to empathise with whoever you need to convince. Most organisations are in it to make money, and different people are different pieces of the puzzle of ach

Me too. I am quite reluctant to keep any data plaintext in cloud services, but I couldn't live without Workflowy. I asked them about the possibility of self-hosting, but unfortunately it wasn't in the cards at the moment. I'l

I must second WorkFlowy. I've tried lots of different managers, but WF is the only one that worked for me. It's flexible enough to support the simple, no-frills to-do list as well as the larger projects. I like information hierarc

Congratulations on what looks like a really nice effort - I'm looking forward to trying it out. Out of curiosity, what are your main reasons for not making it a joint effort with RetroArch? I'm a modularity and reusability freak,

You will probably get different answers from different people. For me it's interesting partly because I hope to get a language where managed memory is non-idiomatic and largely unnecessary while manual memory management is quite safe,

There it was, thanks! That's commendable of them. While I hope everyone now disregards the specific example in my comment, I'm afraid it doesn't change my personal view of the involved companies and their intentions very much

I have both the GMail and Chrome apps installed on my iPad, though I mostly prefer Safari. When I open a link in the GMail app, it opens it in Chrome. I can find no way to alter this setting. One might argue that it's not the same situ

Here's a similar one the Japanese DOD (?) showed off a few years ago, I think, so I suppose the single-rotor (or dual on same axis) flying sphere with flaps has been around for a while: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pF

I think there's plenty of room for the larger discussion about how much we actually (ought to) trust a lot of our closed source software that runs free and non-jailed on our computers day in and day out - and recent events haven't

A comment on another article the other day (can't remember which or I'd link) noted that no-one will magically know your passcode when you sleep or nap, but it might not be too hard for them to gently put your thumb on your phone.

No worries, I was actually referring to the automagically translated article. :) Google can't really know which is which, so the article seems to use a mix of both english words in different places, which ends up being a little confusi

I will confess to not reading the entire article (neither in Swedish nor "Engswish" ) so I might be mistaken, but if anyone is wondering why the word "security" is used when "safety" probably would be better su

Thanks for the paper link, it looks interesting. Yes, factoring software into different processes and enforcing proper sandboxing and resource restrictions is definitely one aspect of it. Hierarchies of such processess where resource alloca

Every time these issues come up for discussion, my mind always returns to some sort of imagined utopia where our software is much more modular, composable and compartmentalizable (grammar?) than todays "mainstream" platforms. It c

In another thread, you mentioned bup. Quickly skimming bup's readme on github, I seem to only find references to the backup use case - not sync. Am I mistaken and bup also supports syncing, or did you bring up bup for another reason?
