I donated to the ReactOS Community Edition Kickstarter and I never got my password to their site to download it.

They need more developers and more money to get out of the alpha phase and into the beta phase.

In all honesty Linux + WINE runs more Windows apps than ReactOS currently does right now. Just get Play On Linux to help configure stuff: https://www.playonlinux.com/

If you don't want a Linux distro but want some alternative OS that is more finished that ReactOS try:

https://www.haiku-os.org/

HaikuOS is a BeOS rewrite, it is written to be API compatible with the old BeOS versions.

http://aros.sourceforge.net/

AROS is written to be API compatible with AmigaOS 3.X, got support from Amiga Inc and they even used parts of AROS source code for the latest AmigaOS. They even ported it to 68K Amigas with a new Kickstart ROM replacement.

Haiku and AROS won't run Windows programs, but you can run them in virtual machines and use the software that is available for them.

I am waiting for ReactOS Server where they bundle a SAMBA server, Web Server, Email Server, so it can be a free Windows Server clone and install on Virtual Machines so it has a lower memory footprint than Windows Server. But Microsoft has made Windows Server Core to run with less memory.
And 7 Eleven in Sweden managed to make it even more dirty by using the headline "Bite sale!", which apparently means "Dirty dick!" in french. As if that wasn't bad enough, the ad was actually meant to sell sausages. To kids.

Today, FogCreek focuses on their products, but in the early days they set out to build a developer-centric consultancy.
Thank you for your kind words! You probably don't realize it, but they actually mean a lot to me :)

My goal was $200k. Some people criticized it for being too high, but I think it was actually a pretty conservative estimate. Oh well, c'est la vie.
Houston used to do this in 2000. Don't know what has happened since. (Flew Mexico to Japan without entering US.)
It's "peepee" in English but you are likely to get a chuckle if you name your product "pipi". Back in 2006 Nintendo ran into this problem with the Wii ("wee" or "weewee" is also slang for urination eapecially among children.)

PIDP-8/I – Remaking the PDP-8/I with a Raspberry Pi
You don't need a degree for common sense.

My parent spout a lot of the same nonsense. Just who exactly are these "they" gatekeepers the Boomers keep referring to? Pretty sure "they" are the same keepers of great wisdom such as "Housing prices will always rise", and "Work hard, you'll get a pension and gold watch," sorts of people. Not intentionally wrong, but definitely behind the times.

Want to make a computer? WE don't need
"them" to gatekeep their own bullshit anymore. Everthing, including fabs has been virtualized and is available online. Funding, PCB design and layout, soft-hard your FPGA ASIC designs, etc, etc, etc. Make your tradeoffs same as the rest of us, but don't think for a second that you must have "them" to make that computer.

I know it's not really that easy (my parents spout the same nonsense all the time, but I love them nonetheless), but try to surround yourself with enablers not gatekeepers. And be able to quickly differentiate between the timeless and the boomer knowledge.
This is pretty great. I did not realize the NBA kept this type of data on games. I wonder if the MLB, NFL or NHL do the same thing. Very cool regardless.
True, however this all started with a complaint by Unilever, the maker of Hellmann’s mayonnaise. They dropped their complaint when it was discovered that their mayo did not meet the criteria either.
Also according to Unilever, ""cholesterol free" modifier already signals to people the product is not mayonnaise", which apparently should remove ambiguity that Just Mayo is not real mayonnaise: http://www.ctvnews.ca/business/hellmann-s-maker-left-with-eg...
A lot of BS attempting to stop a company with great products disrupting the old guys.
Depends on how brave you are, really.

While a lot of the development community will likely be tracking 2.0's development and working to release libraries not long after 2.0 releases...2.0 is effectively a 1.0 release all over again, so it's a matter of production-readiness not only where community support is concerned, but with itself.

I'm waiting to see where things shake out on all sides after a few releases before really judging anything. We'll still kick the tires on our team here in the meantime.
Cutting Through the HFT Lies: What Really Happened During the Flash Crash
Just a note. The quote
Eiriksmal posted is from the section: Why would I NOT want to use Arch?
Opencontainer spec discussion
That difference only exists because said Flash games were first and foremost published online, and because the Flash heyday is offset from the DOS heyday by about 15 years. Just because they happen to still be floating around on Newgrounds or Gopher Gas or whatever other Flash game site doesn't mean they're actually cared about necessarily. Ultimately, the difference doesn't matter: just like how DOS game developers ended up migrating to Windows, Flash game developers will end up (and indeed already are) migrating to HTML5. Few people lament the DOS games that weren't ported, and in the long run, few people will lament the Flash games that weren't ported (or, if they do, will port them themselves, as was the case with multiple DOS games, the prodigial example being Doom).

That difference is also less meaningful with companies like GoG reselling older games, often with the necessary emulation layers for them to run on newer Windows versions (and - lately - Linux). Thus, even some very neglected DOS games are still in distribution. Hell, Super 3D Noah's Ark of all things is on Steam. Super 3D Bloody Noah's Ark. If that manages to be the case, then I'm pretty sure Flash gamers have nothing to worry about in the long run.
It's a matter of requirements for external resources. If a system needs constant infusions of external money, its ability to grow will be determined by its ability to bring in such external money. This is how non-profits tend to work and why they dedicate such attention to fundraising.

Systems that generate what they need to grow don't have the same constraints. If money is what your business needs to grow and it generates a significant yearly profit, then your business can meet its own needs to enable growth.

Is that clearer? Some sorts of systems, when functioning correctly, will tend to be self-perpetuating. Others will, as an artifact of structure, require endless external resourcing.
The tax law should be as simple as this: there is a BGI (basic guaranteed income) and every dollar above at a fix percentage regardless how wealthier you are.
There's a big difference between 2000 and 5000 unit initial runs... why 5000?

The Greatest OS That (N)ever Was (1997)
If people are interested in getting started with question answering on the bAbi dataset, I wrote a baseline RNN example that's now in Keras[1].

Whilst I love the theory behind the bAbi dataset, there are issues with the data itself that still need to be fixed, particularly that there is duplication in the datasets[2]. This duplication leads to less unique data than expected and even overlaps between training and testing data. The problem gets worse as you get to the 10k subsets[3]. Most worryingly, authors who I've spoken to aren't aware of these issues.

As an example, QA17 (Positional Reasoning) which is one of the focus areas of this paper has two major issues. First, instead of 10,000 / 1,000 unique train / test questions, duplication means it only has 5,812 / 632. Second, 15% of the exact training questions in the 10k subset are repeated in the test set.

I've contacted the creators of the dataset at Facebook but they don't seem to think the issue is that extreme. The authors of papers using the bAbi dataset are also not noting which version of the data they've used, which is problematic if there are future updates...

The "top dumb issues" page for porters has value even for non-hurd users. In terms of "don't do this". Its on page 13.
Can't scale in a weak, strong, or asymptotic complexity sense? And for what sorts of problems (I assume you're thinking of 2D and 3D PDEs discretized with local basis functions)?
Very suspicious that anti-war protests vanished from the headlines as Occupy Wall Street took hold.
If you are interested in C++14 then you are "looking to the future" as it were, in which case I would suggest Eigen. Why? One word: tensors. Eigen has already a quite usable tensor implementation, whereas as far as I can descry Blaze has no plans in that direction. Tensors show up everywhere in scientific computing. They are incredibly useful. For this reason (along with several others, which I can elaborate on if you are interested) I feel like Eigen will become the Numpy of C++ numerical array software in the future.

After reading the original publication, the analogy to an iron bar is just confusing the point.

The article states: "Every time the outcome of a play of machine A ends in a reward, the bar moves to the left a specific distance, and every time the outcome ends in no reward, the bar moves to the right a specific distance. The same goes for a play of machine B, but the directions of the bar movements are reversed. After enough trials, the bar's total displacement reveals which slot machine offers the better winning probability." There's no locomotion reinforcement which can apply to the iron bar.

Something (either a physical mechanism or a guiding hand) needs to move the bar. Now the math of problem solving seems to still work out, but the mechanism of locomotion needs to be included in the system to get a proper description of the entropy at play.
I will let CVE database speak for me in what concerns security.

Micro-kernels are used in many embedded scenarios nowadays. Even your phone or car infotainment system might be running one, e.g. L4, QNX.

GNU/Linux being a UNIX clone will never change. Using a micro-kernel or any other language instead of C simply doesn't work out in UNIX culture.
Instead of 'decision-making', they could have said 'computation'. Does that make it less ridiculous? I think it's a little interesting.
Polymer is a pain to use by comparison to practically everything. My understanding is it's meant as basically just a comparability layer.
To be fair, the speculative fiction novel is a very convenient platform for illustrating alternate political views. Bradbury, Orwell, Rand, and Heinlein are all technically science fiction writers.

Orwell wrote _Animal Farm_, which is basically one long allegorical denouncement of the Soviet revolution.

Rand is, of course, the founder of objectivism, and explicitly anti-communist.

Heinlein wrote _Stranger in a Strange Land_, _The Moon is a Harsh Mistress_, and _Starship Troopers_. Those describe cultures that are theo-communist, anarcho-capitalist, and stratocratic, respectively. I don't think they are endorsements, as the man himself was largely libertarian for most of his life.

So if Bradbury could be sympathetic to communists, he could also be sympathetic with Klingon High Command, rogue AC repairman Harry Tuttle, Dr. Zaius, and the pirates of Neverland.

The appalling thing is that no one involved in the investigation had the balls to tell their superior that there was no reasonable suspicion there, and it would be a violation of Mr. Bradbury's civil rights to continue with it.
You said "feminist" and equated it with "misogynist", not "misogyny".

I say the relevant equivalents are:

Feminists and men's rights types.

Misandrists/misandry and misogynists/misogyny.

No it doesn't. It should be vanishingly rare for software not shipped by Apple to be impacted by rootless. The whole point of the feature is to prevent files that should never be modified from being modified. The only software that I can think of that's impacted by rootless is Xcode, which is of course Apple's own app. I can't think of anything else that should be hampered by the inability to modify system files. Can you name any other software that has a problem with this?

And if you really want to disable rootless anyway, you can do so. Boot into the recovery partition and there's an option there to turn off rootless.

I'm also completely baffled by the claim that, just because no security solution is 100% perfect, that we shouldn't even try. That makes no sense at all. Yes, security is hard. But protecting you from 99% of all malware, even if there's the rare case of malware that gets past you, is still extremely useful. Besides, it's awfully cynical to declare that SIP is an impossible goal before you've even looked at it.

This is really about inference, and less about "decision-making."

First, the bar is has a action-response rule-based mechanism based on the input of winning or losing combined with which direction it came from right or left. That's it.

An externality can then infer that the bar has made a decision, but of course, the bar has made no such decision.

This is still useful, but it's overblown to call this "decision-making" outside of decisions made exclusively within a strict framework of primitive rules. That said, many fundamental human reactions and decisions follow a pretty strict framework of primitive rules. That's why most people fail to grok the ladder of inference: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KJLqOclPqis

> We have recently begun to spend significant amounts on advertising and other marketing campaigns to acquire new users, which may not be successful or cost-effective.

> We have recently begun to spend significant amounts on advertising and other marketing campaigns, such as television, cinema, print advertising, and social media, as well as increased promotional activities, to acquire new users and we expect our marketing expenses to increase in the future as we continue to spend significant amounts to acquire new users and increase awareness of our products and services. In 2014 and for the three months ended March 31, 2015, advertising expenses were $71.9 million and $21.1 million, respectively, representing approximately 10% and 6% of our revenue, respectively. While we seek to structure our advertising campaigns in the manner that we believe is most likely to encourage people to use our products and services, we may fail to identify advertising opportunities that satisfy our anticipated return on advertising spend as we scale our investments in marketing, accurately predict user acquisition, or fully understand or estimate the conditions and behaviors that drive user behavior. If for any reason any of our advertising campaigns prove less successful than anticipated in attracting new users, we may not be able to recover our advertising spend, and our rate of user acquisition may fail to meet market expectations, either of which could have an adverse effect on our business. There can be no assurance that our advertising and other marketing efforts will result in increased sales of our products and services.

ALSO

> Revenue increased $474.3 million, or 175%, from $271.1 million for 2013 to $745.4 million for 2014. A substantial majority of the increase was due to an increase in the number of devices sold from 4.5 million in 2013 to 10.9 million in 2014, including $151.9 million from new products that we began selling in 2014. U.S. revenue, based on ship-to destinations, increased $356.5 million, or 173%, from $206.1 million for 2013 to $562.6 million for 2014 and international revenue, based on ship-to destinations, increased by $117.9 million, or 181%, from $65.0 million for 2013 to $182.9 million for 2014.

So ballpark 11 million units sold in 2014, and 71.9 million dollars in advertising in 2014

That's $6.59 worst case customer acquisition cost (assuming no repeat customers)

"Is there actually any such thing as a "grassroots" movement?"

I would hope that this would be an easy question to answer, simply by identifying some minor thing you have done that would qualify as - even as the germ of - grassroots action.

I can think of one or two things I have done myself that would fall into that category, and I would hope that would be the case for everyone. Even if it's minor (as mine have been) if it welled up from within you it is ipso facto the start of a grassroots movement.
If you wouldn't mind elaborating more, why is it a vile idea on paper?

AFAIK, every practical implementation of "communism" falls so short of the description, both ideal and transitionally, in things like The Communist Manifesto as to be blatantly lying when they use the name for themselves.

And then you have countries right now like China which blatantly abuse the label. (At the very least: If your country is engaged in capitalism, you are doing it wrong.)
As a linux user, as much as I'd like to believe you, everything I see about OS X is that its privacy policies and options are far more restricted and in what the OS can do, and it is made far easier to opt out.

Curious what the endgame looks like for hardware startups that fail? One of the things that appeals to me about software startups is that if they don't work out, I've learned a lot of valuable technical skills that there's a market for. I can easily do some consulting or get a job with a fast-growing company to replenish the bank account, and then try again if I have another idea.

Is there the same transferability with hardware startups? Do other companies love to hire failed hardware entrepreneurs the way they usually like to hire failed software entrepreneurs, or do you just write off the money and time spent on the startup as a dream forgotten?
