I've worked on a lot of web projects, but still I don't understand why we want to build applications in browsers. Don't get me wrong, I love the web and I've been hacking on it for a long time, but browsers can't do

That sounds great to me. We need more whistle blowers and more civil disobedience. We need to change, the US is a joke; a parody of itself. We have all of this freedom branding, but are afraid of that freedom. We cower behind a police state

I believe "artificial selection" is the commonly accepted term.

That's the problem with federated systems: we (users) have to rely on the promises and whims of our system operators to have access. I don't trust or distrust you, I wish I didn't have to decide.

We don't need all people to care, only those who can make a difference. We have the technology to build privacy-enforcing versions of popular services. We can make them better, faster, and stronger. We could create new, fun, and intere

In other words, nothing different than what we have now.

This applies mostly to applications, which often rely on specific library versions which may or may not be available on the target system.

It is more comfortable, after you establish the discipline. Getting there takes some practice, which is probably why people slouch.

It's very early in the project lifecycle, but that's along the lines of what I'm planning for my hobby OS[1]. Right now I'm planning on using Genode/seL4 for the kernel and doing a plan 9-style userspace in Rust. Ge

Secrets are valuable because they can create an information asymmetry that the holder of the secret can take advantage of. However, it is often the case that sharing the secret is more beneficial than holding it. Which you should chose de

It's init + your app, which is exactly what you want. PID 1 has some important responsibilities that aren't handled anywhere else. I'd argue that most init systems go far beyond what you actually want PID 1 to do, but that is

The only general intelligence we know of is us. It stands to reason that the first step towards creating AGI is to copy the one machine we know is capable of that type of processing. Why doesn't our research focus on understanding and

These are some excellent ideas, but I wonder, what would it take to get you to ditch Linux/BSD/Illumos for the new, modern *nix? How would you get corporate support?

Good. Well, it would be good if we used our taxes for good things. I guess Uncle Sam just got a shitload of new bombs.

That isn't how self-driving cars work. They use GPS much like a person would and drive much like a person would (using various senses and knowing how to maneuver the vehicle).

Most of my hobbies are past what most people would consider safe, but I am never phased by it. Statistically, I am much more likely to be injured or die than most people, but I value experiences more than safety. Everyone weighs their risk-

It seems implausible that all of the aliens would agree to ignore us, even less so for them to consistently arrive at that conclusion in an independent manner. Then again, Earth might be exceptionally boring and consistently uninteresting t
