I didn't make any long arguments, assuming that so-called hackers are aware of absurdity of trying to manage an OS (some kernel modules utilizing an API implemented as a shared library) from a virtual machine which is, in its turn, impleme

'Less is more' is a thousand years old general maxim. And of course, there is nothing from Buddhism or stoicism in cutting some costs and undoing some bad habits. One also should watch the Fight Club movie. ^_^

For the love of God, why Java when there is Python? ^_^

It is amazing to see that current HN's audience is unable to notice that consumers are switching from PC+ADSL scheme to laptop+HSDPA USB stick or some Android/Apple device and that global GSM carriers were already won the market with cheap

Terminal is a program of some kind, like xterm, (or a monochrome device with nice smooth scrolling), shell is a different kind of program, that interpret your input like bash. TTY is an interface to access a system over serial line, and con

Just face the reality - comparing to Android, let alone iOS that thing does not exist. That is why HP dumped it. Even money cannot make it fly. ^_^

Because they want us (early adopters) to use their product. try to think a little bit more - "so their shares in the startup will grow up in price". Did I express any difficulty with understanding? I thought it was just less fanboyism and

Why you're telling them how to use their own marketing/PR tools? ^_^ This site is about making good PR (with some rare mistakes, such as in airbnb's case, but there is really big money involved at the time of the next giant bubble bursting

Why to make so much noise? Universities, even good ones, are about making money at first . So, if mediocre masses thinks that python is 'more practical' or that 'with Java they can always get a job' they have no choice, but to follow these

I have no time and intention to launch into a big discussion about scientific approach to mental states and their relation to the bodily ones. What I can tell for sure - describing and studying them scientifically in separation from other d

Rediscovering sublimation? Again? ^_^ It is said thousands years ago - control your emotions or be controlled by emotions. Freud emphasized that energy bounded to some emotions and mental states can be redirected, transformed, controlled. G

"Perfection is achieved not when there is nothing more to add, but when there is nothing more to cut off." Adding fancy syntax does not magically transform that crapware to something almost perfect like python3 or ruby (in its way) where th

Framework is a thing that should emerge as a result of your own project long after its launch (after major evolutionary changes/rewrites based on actual usage feedback). It is your team's encoded skills and experience. People who are tryin
