Hey, thanks a lot for your feedback! You just putted a big smile on my face=) Yes, you're right - The Presentation Market itself really big nowadays (I simply know this by working as a Presentation Designer=)). The reasons I post my product to NH:
a) Feedback: do my landing page deliver sale message in a clear and actionable way?
b) Audience. I know that most people here are more interested in "hardware" and "hacking" types of news. But I was also hoping to find some present and future Founders / Startup Team Members, that are in need of Pitch Deck Design service (and I actually see a little traction. Just a little, but some interest anyway=))

p.s. Duarte is a Queen regarding Presentation Design and Speech. You're lucky to attend at their workshop! I'll definitely do the same when will have a chance!
Thanks again for comments regarding Target Market!
How did you measure the suffering ? If you just guesstimate the magnitude of the suffering I try a guesstimation too: In my opinion 4.5 years of intense suffering are in the same order of magnitude with 45 years of not so intense suffering. Unless some suffering is way more important than other suffering. I don't know.

I know what you're getting at but to be fair that probably is a slightly trickier question than it seems. You need to factor in how absorbent the walls are (are you using unfinished drywall?), what colour the walls currently are (Is it very different to the paint? You'll probably need multiple coats.), what's the brand of paint you're using (I've seen different brands range between 350 - 450 sqft / gallon).

I'm a Turkish citizen, Istanbulite, now 23 years old. I have happened to witness all of this in person in this city. I wear two identities, if I can say so, one is that I'm from the bosphorus, Bogazici, and the other is that I belong to the near east. This sort of findings delight me a lot. It proves that at the end of the day the human is to measure, that he be the one to be measured, and that after tens of thousands of years all we have been able to do is better tools, nothing more. Regarding the Erdogan and the rest, he's just the tip of the iceberg. The Turkish have been miserable all the time, and recently more, because, as a turkish proverb proceeds to say, the feet became the head. If it wasn't him to be made so powerful by the crowd of angry ignorant fundamentalists, it would be someone else. In this country of genocides, now one is active against the population of reasonables.

may I ask why you don't believe in epigenetics?

That's not a question based in science. It's not about beliefs, it's about evidence.

Speaking for myself, I've taken a strong interest in epigenetics due to my own health experiences and general curiosity. I find some of the hypotheses around epigenetics to be compelling, including that of generational inheritance of trauma, which is at issue here. But hard data is lacking, and I hope to see more rigorous studies that produce more solid evidence that can enable us to better understand the issue.

Someone who hasn't heavily researched epigenetics or any other topic is perfectly entitled to take the null hypothesis position and demand better evidence before adopting a different position.

Zen Garden is pretty much the opposite of what one should do nowadays. Someone wrote some markup and sprinkled a ton of CSS hooks on top and then someone else came along and wrote the CSS.

It uses these 12 IDs:

css-zen-garden, design-archives, design-selection, zen-benefits, zen-explanation, zen-intro, zen-participation, zen-preamble, zen-requirements, zen-resources, zen-summary, zen-supporting

And these 39 classes:

archives, benefits, css-resources, design-archives, design-name, design-selection, designer-name, explanation, extra1, extra2, extra3, extra4, extra5, extra6, indicator, intro, main, next, page-wrapper, participation, preamble, requirements, resources, select, sidebar, summary, supporting, view-css, viewall, wrapper, zen-accessibility, zen-faq, zen-github, zen-license, zen-resources, zen-submit, zen-translations, zen-validate-css, zen-validate-html

If you've ever wondered how some websites end up with a meg of CSS, that's exactly how that happens. Each view/page starts with some markup, then you sprinkle some one-off CSS hooks over it, and then you write some overly specific CSS rules which are impossible to reuse. Rinse and repeat.

It's more efficient to create a library of reusable building blocks and then build your views/pages out of these. All of the more organized approaches (BEM, SUIT, etc) work this way. You always use what's already there and you only extend a component or create a new one if it's absolutely necessary.

I think by "interesting" you meant to write "terrible". I'm wondering who on earth is the market for this? 32 bit ARM (even A15) is not a great server platform.

If it had been 64 bit ARM with a real amount of RAM and an SSD then it might be more interesting. Even there (and I say this as someone who has an APM Mustang under my desk), it's more likely of benefit to people hosting web servers at scale than for VPS.

There were quite a few non-Unix influenced operating systems that are even more worth learning about, but it seems hardly anyone knows about them or remembers them.

Worthy of mention are:
ITS (http://victor.se/bjorn/its/, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Incompatible_Timesharing_Syste...)
This was the original hacker system, developed and used at the AI Lab at MIT.

Genera (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genera_%28operating_system%29) and the other Lisp Machine OSes.

EROS (http://eros-os.org/eros.html), a more modern research system.

Also worthy of mention are the various mainframe operating systems, particularly MCP (Burroughs) and VME/B (ICL).

These are all quite different to both the present day operating systems, and in many ways they were better. If all people know about are Unix-like systems (and the not too different Microsoft Windows), there will be far fewer ideas for how to improve them, never mind improving upon them.
I strongly disagree with that. Especially with the GPIO library which is as thin as it gets (you can even redefine gpio_get_value, gpio_set_value etc... in the BSP if you want an extra-fast board-specific version). In my experience the overhead is really small actually and it gives you some nice debugging tools (the sysfs interface and debugfs entry in particular).

If you implement a GPIO controller driver using the gpiolib means that all other drivers and userland tools will be able to interface with you at no cost. If you write a device driver that uses a GPIO using the gpiolib means that you'll be able to use your driver even if the GPIO gets wired on an external I2C "expander" or something like that.

Pushing your logic to the extreme one might as well get rid of the kernel and write on bare metal to make sure not to waste any CPU cycle or memory byte on a abstraction layer. What is a kernel in the end if not a set of standardized APIs?

It's true that there's some bloat in a few of the kernel's APIs (the video comes to mind, although I won't pretend I would be able to do it better) but that shouldn't be a reason to "always try to do without having to use all of these APIs". Unless you only write code that's only intended to be used on a particular software configuration on a single board without any possible evolution or reuse it's really asking for trouble in the long term.

If I have to integrate a third party driver and I see that they use some custom made GPIO interface instead of the standard kernel API I'm going to be very annoyed.

If you haven't read it, Philip's PhD memoir (link: http://www.pgbovine.net/PhD-memoir.htm) is wonderful.

One of the ideas discussed in it is the importance of knowing your platform. He had an idea for a tool which many other people had before, but it was the deep knowledge of python interpreter that allowed him to create the tool that was actually usable (IncPy).
Curious, what are the other two things? :-)

I tutor people -- I use "tutor" to emphasize individual or small group instruction -- and the idea of mainstream teaching is horrific. I fully agree with the poster learnstats2.

For one thing (and this is probably most damning), classes are highly regulated by school administrators. Managers who try to hire obedient teachers. The few teachers who try to slip through are nevertheless horrifically constrainted.

Children want to learn; it's a deep human motivation that has to be beaten out of people. The adults I teach have to be scrubbed of so many educational scars and bad habits. If only I had time right now to go into depth of all the antipatterns, the symptoms.
I was originally going to make a SAAS for recruiters, so I did customer interviews for about 30 of them. I came to the understanding that they all vary in the way they organize their information. There was even one firm that still had paper resumes on file. I think the best recruiters I talked to had a great skill at reading you like any great salesman. The ones that I did not like as much were fresh in the industry, and they sounded like they were sitting in a boiler room.
I don't understand the "people not believing you'll get there" point. The pledger loses no money if the project doesn't attain its goal so there is no reason to not pledge just because it might fail.

I'm not sure why you think that. Do you mean that normally, in this context "space" means the memory usage of a program, which isn't particularly related to the size of the program?

In which case, yeah, it's a little incongruous. The "space" bit is talking about the textual representation of the program produced, while the "time" bit is talking about the runtime characteristics of the program.
I got through occasionally (Netherlands), but I guess we just have to ride it out...
You don't have to use the vectorization though. I prefer to work with Cython and just use pointers. You don't get to write vector + vector --- you have to actually write the loop --- but that's not such a big deal imo.

There's also been some discussion about this on the MirageOS mailing list [1].

There are definitely operational things to work on (e.g. more convenient deployment to AWS, amongst other things). One of the best ways to get feedback on these is from the people -- like the OP -- who try things out.

End to end toolchains make a huge difference but taking the time to come up with the correct opinionated tooling is important. Being opinionated and wrong could torpedo the uptake of such tech.

1) I can leave my country and arrange to move to US, but I won't. It's a win win situation for lots of people like me to who wants to live in their country and contribute.

2) I live in the capital of my country and it offers better employment opportunities than rest of the country. As a result more people are coming here everyday and now the capital is very much burdened with overpopulation. The rest of the country has more room but underdeveloped. Now the only logical way is to develop the rest of the country at least to some point so that the local people can live there happily. In the development process its not possible to maintain a higher salary for every other people in rest of the country until the market becomes similar to the capital, because the yield and market size is not the same. And its not necessary as well, because better living standard can be ensured there with less money.

> because some remote developers are better

I've explicitly mentioned that we are considering two developers of same quality. Other developers equal to my caliber living in the US have access to more resources than I have, and I don't want to leave my country, so obviously I'll take advantage of my lower living cost. Quality doesn't have any boundary but opportunity has. Toptal is getting a cut from my payment to find me the opportunity and I don't see anything wrong with that :)

In any case, I don't believe the right way to make someone understand is making an argument. It is only possible by setting an example and evaluating its success. If Toptal can make all the parties happy (their clients, developers and themselves) then they are doing it right despite all the exploit theory you bring on. Of course not every client / developer will be happy, but again they don't need to stick with Toptal.

I won't continue this discussion any further. Thanks for your replies.

>Laissez-faire economic systems are in no way capable of keeping themselves stable.

This is the point - Laissez-faire economic systems function well on their own, it just happens that humans prefer systems that are "stable". Hence, regulators try to limit the volatility of markets meet their stability preferences. Whether this is ultimately beneficial is an ongoing debate.

I would point out that in many cases enforcing artificial stability on markets can have negative outcomes. Recently, the +/-10% limits on daily stock price movements in China created situations where many stocks increased by 10% every day for over 100 days [0]. Such illusions of stability likely played a role in the recent bubble/crash in China. It could be said that attempts to regulate 'stability' into markets merely leads to a masking of tail risk, which can be very dangerous.

It's very likely that they will need to write their own OS from scratch for the Mill. They might be able to reuse a lot of code from Linux, but it won't be Linux, as the whole ethos of the Mill is to rethink everything.

In particular the Mill does not have the same notion of a process, the CPU itself is aware of threading, it has its own security design that isn't anything like user/supervisor mode, there are no syscalls, and programs have to be specialised before they can be run, a la ART on Android.

I suspect once they have LLVM up and running, one of the next biggest wins they'll want to go for is porting HotSpot. The only other company I'm aware of that was able to actually make money selling a really crazy custom CPU architecture is Azul with their Vega arch, and they did it by making Java bytecode their exposed bytecode. The actual CPU opcodes were an implementation detail and everything compiled on the fly.

The nice thing about porting the JVM is tons of business-critical, performance sensitive code would Just Work™. And then you have a ready made market for companies with huge Java (e.g. Hadoop) jobs that are very power/performance tradeoff sensitive.
The trouble with traditional homework is that you have to wait a long time before you get feedback, at the earliest it'll be the next day. This makes it hard to correct misunderstandings. So parents helping with homework is a great idea, not because pupils shouldn't learn to take charge of their own learning, but because homework kind of sucks as a tool for learning.

I will try to test if those "servers" would be good for task processing. Example: let's say I have a ton of websites to crawl (high IO, not much CPU, ideally parallel). I could use a couple of these to cheaply do the job.

I am guessing that any job that is not CPU or memory hungry would fit the bill. Like crawling, sending a massive amount of emails, simple text processing, maybe even as a RabbitMQ server.
