The lack of launcher support (like legacy DOS support in Windows) probably killed it. If you were using it, you were also often loading native programs instead of it.

Something as simple as a double-click instead of having to reset and "LOAD * ,8,1" would have encouraged the practice of launching into a GUI first.

Let the poor demand to be paid. And ignore that for most universities, the sportsballs are net losses on the whole.

By all means pay them what they are owed. They are owed exactly what they demand and receive for contracting their playing services. If they can strengthen their hand by bargaining as a team, go for it.
THAT's the name of that service!! I remember trying to find it about a year ago, and was never able to. I even asked here on HN and reddit, to no avail.

Ask HN: CTM gave CS the “kernel language”. Is there a “kernel database”?
In "Concepts, Techniques, Methods of Computer Science" (CTM), Peter Van Roy takes the approach of teaching programming not as one paradigm or another, but rather a hierarchy of features for which each new feature set or stratification, maps the whole set to a new paradigm. (He calls this abstract set of features the "kernel language".) Thus you build up something like Object Oriented Programming from simple parts, the lowest of which is Declarative/Functional Programming. Then you can negotiate the tradeoffs effectively.

Currently I'm diving into databases, and I'm nothing but confused. It seems easy to get lost in the myriad of technologies and their features. I'm having a difficult time negotiating the tradeoffs, particularly without a real, central model of what a database is or what it's design space is. Is there an equivalent to a kernel language in the database world?

The cover graphic of the MIT OCW for databases (labeled 6.830 / 6.814) seems to give away that there is a basic set of problems that databases need to solve. So I think that a "kernel description" of databases can exist. I'm wondering if anyone here has come across any.
In 1987 I published a preemptive multitasking for 6502[1] (Apple II). If I remember properly (it's only been 30 years or so), the stack is fixed at $100, so all you need to do on a context switch is save the stack somewhere else and restore it. That's 256 bytes to move around. I used the mouse card as an interrupt source (video refresh) to get a regular source of interrupts.

[1] I can't find any trace online, except for some weird Word document of what must have been the original README file.

Minimum wage is a band-aide on gaping wound. The problem is that employers control employees lives, while employees at worst can take a company down - leaving the owner in a position where he just has to go get a job. The power obviously weighs heavily in the favor of the employer.

If everyone (and I do mean everyone including the 1%) was given a wage that could keep you alive and healthy, then there would be balance of power between employer and employee and you would see people taking advantage of each other much less.

Short answer - no. They go to a training institute which is indeed a fine place but mostly in the sense of its colonial glamour and hangover. And that's it.

Some of them, who are later selected for joint secretary roles for the central Govt, go back for another short training.

The point is, the training is more of a tradition. No, I am sure they are taught and trained there but it's done because it's been done every year. So, the answer is still - no.

Practical Recursion Schemes
How dynamic? Resources can be updated to point to new immutable objects. For instance, as an operator of a website, I can sign the resource `/comments/10189265.json` as referencing an object with a particular hash, and then when there are additional comments, change the object it references. How fast things like this can update are dependent on the implementation, which I haven't read.
The counter to paying college players is that it can be a gateway to the NFL, so college players play for "free" in exchange for access to a potentially very lucrative career. So why not a venture capital model? Pay players, with the condition that the university receives a % of their pro pay.

Ha, you put it much more eloquently! I agree - the underlying problem is obviously how much the wealth disparity has grown.
I'll never understand why people reject the most sensible answer: allow high school students to be drafted into the NFL.

Even if they're not playing in the NFL for 2,3 or 4 years, pu them into a developmental league where they can earn $30K a year for a shot to make the league.

Then college is reserved for people who want to go to college, not for people who have to go because that's the collusion that's been designed. It's been designed to protect the value of college football, which exploits poor athletes who otherwise have no way to make a living in sports.

The system is likewise awful for college athletics. Kids who have no reverence for school (why should they) break the rules, break the law and are coddled because they make millions for the university with no pay. Then we all have to pretend like we care about academics in student athletes, coaches impose 1-game suspensions during the 1-AA game week and everyone happily looks away.

Major League Baseball has solved this - you may be drafted out of high school, but once you start college you have to be out three years. It preserves the notion of amateur athletics - of trading your athletic skill for a shot at a degree - without forcing people to take that route.

>What stops ZFC from proving sentences about Python interpreters, or Brainfuck programs, or whatever?

Well, mostly a lack of writing down axioms about how these things actually work. The innate nondeterminism, imperative operating environment, and intentional behavior (in the sense that which implementation of a function you write actually matters) also give things that are, let's say, on the research frontier to reason about formally.

And then there's just the fact that ZFC isn't a very good language at all for programming with. Type theories are both proof-theoretically stronger and easier to write something at all like actually programs in.

Also, things like compilers and program analyzers are very common in "real-world" programming. They're just about the cutting edge of what we can do with formal verification today: it helps a lot that, as I understand things, when you write down an inductive type in a dependently-typed proof assistant, you are also writing down axioms (an induction principle) with which to prove theorems about it, and the dual for coinductive types. Then, between coinductive and inductive proofs that rely on either productive nontermination or eventually-terminating programs, we can write down most of what we actually want to code.

With the exception, of course, of proof assistants, where we can still only write a verified implementation of one system using a strictly stronger system. Gosh, if only someone was working on ways to tie that knot...
> So is this primarily for static websites?

More work would be needed here perhaps. But decentralized apps should happen one day. As someone without real technical knowledge in security and decentralized platforms, I'd love to hear from some on HN where we really stand on decentralized apps and security.

- Public data. Distributing, searching and querying is not a problem.

- Restricted data. You'd be distributing encrypted data to peers. Now, if we have a way to send an encrypted query to the peer and have it run on encrypted data without the peer being able to understand the query or the data, we'd be set perhaps.

- Obviously this would need application architectures to change. But that's solvable.

Somewhat relevant, the Open Mustard Seed project;

The Open Mustard Seed (OMS) project is an open-source framework
for developing and deploying web apps in a secure,
user-centric personal cloud. The framework provides a
stack of core technologies that work together to provide
a high level of security and ease of use when sharing and
collecting personal and environmental data, controlling
web-enabled devices, and engaging with others to
aggregate information and view the results of applied
computation via protected services.

I'm very excited to see what happens with IPFS. The article talks about replacing HTTP however, and this is definitely a tricky task.

Someone in this thread already asked one of my questions (So is this primarily for static websites?) but my second question is: So is this primarily for personal websites?

I'm having a hard time finding a good way for Facebook, for example, to monetize their website. Targeting ads go out the window with mostly static content. Even more so though, what about Netflix? How is DRM done? How do you make sure only the correct users can access your objects?

edit: Also, doesn't a "permanent web" have an inevitably fatal flaw that you can't free space?
You've never heard God mentioned at a conference because the religious people are hiding from bigots like you. Plenty of scientists have seen a connection between faith and science and if you can't, it's probably your own fault.
> Almost all of your costs are fixed: salaries, facilities, equipment. And the amount of procedures you can do with those fixed resources varies dramatically.

Yes it does vary dramatically, but there's no way there's 3 orders of magnitude of variation and definitely not 2 orders. There might be a single order from top to bottom, a 2 hour surgery versus a 20 hour surgery or a 15 minute visit with a doctor versus a couple of hours with a doctor.

Lawyers have the same problem and while they do bill by the hour, they can generally give you a pretty good idea of what the more basic things might cost to handle. I'm not suggesting that they could give you a +-3% estimate for your SCO vs IBM lawsuit, but if it's a DUI or a will or a trust or whatever, once they've done it a few times they know how the game is played.

I totally get that people aren't courts and doctors aren't lawyers, but I think it's a decent counter-example to the notion of "it's hard so why bother trying?"

Ah GEOS. It has special meaning to me because I was working on Windows / Mouse GUI desktop system for the C64 when news broke.

Agree. What we really need is for browser vendors to get together, bring in the tremendous financial and technical resources they have, and get a decentralized protocol formalized and supported across browsers. It may take years, but it needs to be done.

That would change the internet, and the world.
Our idea with Portal (https://portalplatform.net/) is to make it possible for regular people to run the exact same kind of Linux servers that many of us on HN run.

We're using stock Ubuntu cloud images w/CloudInit so everything that runs on Portal will run anywhere Linux VMs run. Once there are some standards for importing/exporting data we're going to make that a one-click operation. Users can already download all of their data and completely wipe all remote copies.

The original promise of the internet was that we would all control our own domain names. Instead we ended up @gmail.com facebook.com, and twitter.com. We can fix this for less than $10/user/mo now.

Is that possible? It doesn't seem to be "N versus NP" but it seems similar. How can a computer find a correct answer to a question it doesn't know?

I suppose you could send off small units of processing across many nodes, such that none of them knows the full result set...
Actually it's with jsdom, Zombie's major dependency which dropped Node support pretty soon after IOjs was released.
> I've used node on several high-volume production apps, and I haven't seen any instability.

Not sure if this is what you meant, but I read the ancestor comment not as being about "will the process crash randomly?" but "will an upgrade break something in my app?"

It's just that I've seen whole comment threads go by with people tripping over this misunderstanding without ever acknowledging it.
It's odd how these stops seem to be in the middle of nowhere; who are they serving?

One also notes that while some of them are pretty to look at, most of them would actually be very uncomfortable to set in; pretty but useless. It's ironic, in a way, how they say that the design of these was done with more autonomy from the central planners; but then these stops are planned like from far away by somebody who'd never wait at any of these stops.
IPFS is designed with mutability in mind-- think of it like git branches which advance to newer versions. (though you can indeed get rid of version history in that pointer if you want). So, the short answer is "yes, IPFS will work with mutable content just fine", though _how_ the mutability works is a harder, deeper question.

I think the best sources will be the paper, the talks on the website, and the FAQ:

It seems the way of our brain works have some similarities with machines(well, it perhaps among the best average person at this time is able to perceive.). The brain gets information from sensors, tries to categorize everything and makes sense by use the categories in mind. New information from the sensors may trigger the brain to recategorize. All those steps make sense. I believe that's one of important reasons screen based devices are not good for little kids. They need to get exposed to the physical world since they are still learning how to interact with the physical world they live in. Leaving kids to screen is a low cost and time/energy-saving solution, but it increases the risk of "less-developed-focusing-muscle".
Two pieces of (coming soon) good news:

- very soon, you wont need to install anything to use IPFS. it will "just work" with js on today's browsers.

- for best perf, yes, we need browser implementations. and... those have begun :)

Some Audi S6 would be sold for $5,000 by desperate salespeople who need to get it off the lot. I just left it out because option A isn't all that realistic in either scenario.

Option "D" (offering to pay, taking for free) comes with knowing that the artist might not be able to support themselves to make more. I've always supported artists/studios I want to see create more art and I think any adult pirating understands the economy enough to know this - and most teenagers understand it on some level (but also understandbly aren't usually made of money).

One could also argue that increased exposure is a form of indirect profit. If 3,000,000 people steal a copy of the painting someone might be willing to buy that painting for $100,000 for bragging rights. Hey guys, I own the original painting! This exposure could increase their potential sales.

The issue of pirates is never black and white. Frankly, the music industry would never see $0.01 from me if I couldn't pirate/listen to free on YT and decide "I wish to support this artist and hopefully hear a new album from them in the future."

I know I'm not the only person who would never spend a single penny otherwise.

Top-tier college recruits shouldn't need a gateway to the NFL with their talent level.

We can stick with a tech metaphor: It would be like all tech companies and startups and VCs colluding to require a certain number of years in college before being willing to hire or fund anyone. And the universities would own any apps/code the kids wrote while they were in school. Obviously it would be ludicrously imbalanced for the top 18-year-olds in that situation to give up that much earning potential in exchange for a "gateway" to a profession that needs them anyway.

Sadly people really get into tribalism, and have much stronger ties to their college than they would to any local minor league team, so there's tremendous amounts of money in play to maintain the status quo.
Since the private data and the query are from the same user, they could share some mathematical connection perhaps, which would allow a query to be done and the results sent back (results which only the user can decrypt).
