Re A

You did notice how I went from an extremely hard task (full POSIX) to a series of them that gradually deliver more and more useful functionality over time if resources and labor permit? First goal is a runtime. Next is key POSIX features (80/20 rule). Next is full POSIX. If you cant do a runtime, you cant do POSIX.

Re B

Linux kernel is a user-mode API that gets you lefacy apps inmediately. You gradually replace the syscalls with your own and eventually get off it. Meanwhile, critical stuff runs outside Linux VM on a Rust runtime directly on microkernel or other trusted components. WAY better than just Linux kernel.

Re C

No, there are dozens of projects trying to make OS'S or runtimes in safe languages. There's closer to 100 that started as learning projects then petered out when hard reality set in. Dead link after dead link. Hence, I said it in plural as my recommendation and gradual progression applies to most. Including a Rust project.

Re D

Im not a Rust user so that's new to me. Good to know they have it. Thanks for tip.

Re E

You addressed that point in isolation. The context is a series of steps with gradual increase of difficulty and intermediate deliverables. Starting at Step 5 is clearly not my recommendation.

Re F

And Step 6 follows Step 5 if author had skill and resources to achieve it. Starting at Step 6, like 5, dramatically increases odds it will be another entry in archive.org rathet than protecting real systems.

More to point, I can name many systems that tool my route to success even on a budget and some resisting NSA pentesting w/ source. Maybe it's ny broken memory but I can't name even one project that implemented POSIX in a safe language clean slate. Hence, my recommendation.
Nice. Will there be ways to visualise diffs? Also having the ability to fork a recipe (own or some one else's) would be cool.

My only complaint and not wanting to sound like a grumpy old fart, but you want me to login with none of the things I would ever want to login with.
> In other words, "Hey, Uber hires known felons and its okay because I can think of a scenario where background checks fail."

You say this like it's a bad idea to hire people who were convicted of felonies who've served their time and are now out of jail.

> There are some pretty significant gaps in that coverage that shift the burden to drivers, depending on the state.

> In fact there is an entire business built around the fact there are massive holes in that policy:

That "entire business" is "an auto insurance company". Funny that. You see "massive holes". I see "the market at work". Do you wish to force insurers to take on risks that they can't take in a fiscally responsible way?

Anyway. In CA, folks who drive for nontraditional taxi services like Lyft and Uber have access to (and are required to carry) coverage while transporting a fare, coverage between the time they accept that fare and the time that they pick up that fare, and all other times they are operating their vehicle. [0][1][2]

As with all things political, it will take far too long for this to become the policy everywhere, but it's pretty much inevitable.

To analogize: just because many Red States like Alabama refused to accept no-strings-attached Federal subsidization of Obamacare premiums for their poor, and refused to use no-strings-attached Federal money to expand Medicare to cover those who fall into the "Medicare gap" doesn't mean that those programs are bad, or a disaster. It's just a fact of life that many politicians love to play football with other people's livelihoods.

Ease of communication means it's more difficult to separate your thoughts from others. You become ever closer to a mere regurgitator of pre packaged thoughts.

This is going to sound snippier than the tone it's intended in:

What's your proposed alternative? So very much human suffering is directly caused by a failure to communicate well - seems like increasing ease of communication would be the best way forward based on that alone, regardless of the growing pains and the bad actors. Manipulation has been a thing since communication has been a thing - you're simply not thinking straight if you think retarding the latter will impact the former.

What the hell is a "pre packaged thought" anyways? A synonym for unoriginal? We're products of our shared environment, the likelihood that your thoughts are entirely unique is just about nil.

Aside:

Could you not? Doing this, your entire opinion becomes worthless, and even uglier than it already was considering the cynicism it's practically dripping in. Snide remarks aren't necessary here. Thanks.

No. See any of the papers, eg http://ssrg.nicta.com.au/publications/nictaabstracts/Elphins.... The maintenance effort is quite reasonable. They've managed to evolve, and continue to evolve, the kernel even with the ever more stricter properties proven about it.
Uses one weird trick. Ruby users HATE this!
Yep. :P

For avoidance of confusion, if you're reading an IPv6 address as if it were a word written in the English language (that is, from left to right), the rightmost 64 bits are the ones that identify a host, and the leftmost are the routing information. :)
Setting security.pki.sha1_enforcement_level to 0 will still only accept SHA-1 certs that are signed by a root CA in the NSS truststore. That setting only disables the SHA-1 deprecation logic.
I agree that it's perfectly valid, but disagree that it's necessary. Deploying proxies has costs - it obscures the endpoints of communication from sensor software and makes anomaly detection more difficult.

Richard Bejtlich's "Practice of Network Security Monitoring" has a chapter dedicated to the costs and benefits of proxy deployments; I recommend the book for a look at one coherent method of network security monitoring.
The same thing is rampant today. Rather educated, liberal people will claim that black people are, on average, more violent and less valuable as employees... but of course specific black people are fine. It's easy to do, you just have to rely on a little bad science and a lifetime of propaganda and that whole worldview seems sensible.

Atleast in India, it will not take off. Present internet facilities in India will not be able to serve this. At an avg HD streaming of a movie in netflix for 2hrs takes around 3GB bandwidth. In India, except Hyderabad, any major city the internrt charges are so high that no one adopts it.

For ex: in Bangalore, for 2000rs, you get 20mbps connection capped at 50Gb and after that its 8mbps only. If I take BSNL, for 2000rs, you get 10mbps capped at 30Gb and so on. However it might be good for Hyderabad people, where 2000rs, you get 50mbps connection capped at 350Gb.

My point is Indian internet cant simply scale to serve Netflix presently. They should tie up with ISPs to something magic

I am not the person you asked, but I take screenshots for archival purposes not-infrequently (as seen here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10845275).

The tool that I use is Phantomjs with a script called 'rasterize.js`. The big plus for me was the ability to render arbitrary dpi images of web pages.
That long grooming session IS a warning sign. I recall working for one disaster where we were required to have one grooming session for us (1 hour) and then it got re-groomed the same week where we heard all the tickets again.

It should be sufficient for someone to lead and assign tickets as they come in, and for people to talk to people and reassign them as needed.

Again, if you need status on something, don't have a 2-3 hour long meeting, just ask... because when you have a long meeting and only 2 people out of, say, 8, are engaged at the same time, those other people are being very expensive and are getting bored fast.

The team's velocity is what it is - retrospectives can be boiled down to a "hey, how are things working out" that you can fit into a standard team meeting IMHO. Doesn't need it's own time slot, and this can also prevent retros turning into "throw X under the bus / CYA" type meetings. You can also get a lot of this from 1:1 conversations, and probably in greater depth in that context.

it's nice for the haskell folks that they'll be getting some sort of dependent types, but suffice it to say that they will be of a very different sort than the Idris ones.

Not to mention, there is hope of giving a semantics to Idris since it is based on a fairly routine variant of type theory, whereas I don't think there is any hope at all of understanding "which" type theory the Haskell folks shall have implemented.

If those opposing the FreeBasics are trying to decide on behalf of poor, isn't FreeBasics itself not doing the same thing?

In fact the word play now is just ridiculous. When questioned about the above, they point out that this is an open platform now where any service can come in. When questioned on why not simply give free capped bandwidth then, the answer is that "basic internet services" like education, health are more important for poor. And if left to themselves, they will spend all bandwidth on things like porn. (The last statement is not from Facebook but from certain supporters of FreeBasics)

I've considered the visualization of diffs, but I really, really don't want this too complex to the average cook. As far as "forking" is concerned, you CAN copy their recipe right now. There will be an indicator that says the "original recipe", with a link to the OG recipe.(I just haven't published the template yet.) The copy works, and it will be a completely new recipe associated with your profile. A simplistic visual tree of it's origins to where it ended up is a good thought though.

I understand your concern regarding the social networks, but user security is paramount to me. Especially when this is a one man crew. Dealing with local accounts is just another avenue of anguish, I don't want to deal with right now. The big guys have already invested millions in making their services bullet proof. Possibly in the future with tokens based on email alone, I'm just anti passwords. Is there another auth method you'd consider? I can certainly add just about anything that supports oAuth.

Thanks for the feedback!

To be fair I would say it was perhaps less being out of touch and more about being desperate to try to say anything for differentiation. But either way your point is the same. And for those that say "well I'd take a local driver over a GPS driven experience that might go wrong with bad data" I would ask; are you're old enough to remember having vastly different fares when you took a cab to and from the airport on a business trip? Never have to worry about that when you know a GPS system is doing the driving.

I haven't worked my way through the entire list yet, I might do that later but I would like to comment on the first "practise" if you don't mind:

>> Radical Candor. Basically, bosses need to tell their employees when they're screwing up, but it very rarely happens.

You know what. I have seen many instances of "bosses" screwing up big time, but somehow we seem to think that the "creative work place" is a one way street where only "bosses" seem to be capable of advising their employees. Silly.
Sincere? Really? I have more of a feeling the guy is a psychopath.
Well only one kid was murdered in my high school but 3 died from accidents. We worry and track automobile accidents so why not gun accidents its all part of the picture.

My point is that the measure should be how far a city is from a state with lax laws not just which state it is in.
I don't know. If I were to guess, I would blame some combination of the large number of urban areas in the US that are pedestrian-unfriendly and the US's relatively lax punishment of DUIs. In Canada for example, a DUI is a felony. As a non canadian citizen, you will be bared from entering Canada for 5-10 years after receiving a DUI anywhere.

Well, the problem will sooner or later rectify itself - even if you have an entire city filled with rich people, someone has to do the "lower paid" work. Like, working in supermarkets, hauling trash, doing construction works, teaching the kids... and when these people are priced out of an area, it's hard (or next to impossible) to get them to return without cheap housing.

Because if these people disappear, then the foundation for the rich people to live also disappears.
That's really HBO's problem, then, for thinking they can continue to forcibly segregate the world. I'll note that I don't use this service or any like it, but I do think that people need to keep pushing against the insane excesses of copyright through the political process, through education, and through civil disobedience.
Two days ago, the first day of the quarter, our professor put us in groups and told us to exchange contact info. For reasons surpassing my understanding, they all hated email, someone suggested Facebook, but not everyone was on it. Someone suggested iMessage, again, not everyone was on it, so we ended up using SMS. An interoperable standard.
They just need to merge the Tor Browser into Firefox and add a meek-like http-based pluggable transport, then they can get around these weird MITM boxes.

They probably should have foreseen this and used OpenPGP-based updates over plain HTTP though.
> Your service can be part of it.

This part is my favorite. I know that my personal website is ineligible because it contains some JavaScript code that handles the navigation, but I submitted it regardlessly just to see how complicated the process is (and to write a blog post about my experience so that others would know what to expect).

That was like 20 days ago. I'm still waiting for someone from Facebook to contact me.
Exactly. Increase taxes on homeownership to pay the teacher's salaries. If homeowners don't like this, they can cut out their NIMBY ideals and allow adequate construction of new housing.
What was stopping them?

Living in Russia (St.-Petersburg), [1] I'm experiencing firsthand the territorial restrictions that transnational companies impose on us. E.g. Amazon doesn't offer any books in Russian and for a long time there wasn't anything of substance to read in App Store nor Google Play, either.

I assumed it's because copyright law works different in every country: to be able to offer all the property they already have rights to in the USA, in the new country (e.g. Russia), they have to strike deal(s) with the copyright holders in that country, perhaps a lengthy and/or impossible task. Yet it doesn't look like it in case of Netflix: they started working in 130+ countries overnight.

[1] I wonder if it the Russian St.-Petersburg mentioned in the press release? Works either way: Singapore is far from both.
Good point. Those musicians that made it, maybe they where just better at networking.

The music I tend to like most is these folk type singer/songwriter with an acoustic guitar singing sad songs. A lot of those musicians seem quite introvert and shy, and are probably bad at networking. So it might explain why so many of them don't make it despite their talents.
Because it is not a static scenario. Internet users in India grew by ~30% over last one year itself and that growth is not slowing down. And FreeBasics is not limited to people coming on the internet for the first time.
I went to a Christian Brother's High School in the 80's. 2 of the best, 4 of the best or God forbid 6 of the best. It was a tougher all boys school in the inner city. I think for the most part it kept us in line. My total for the entire year was 6 while the "worst" of the boys were at 60 or 70 in total by the end of a year.
There is clear correlation via looking at other countries control measures - Australia, UK etc.

Your suggestion that I should have reinterpreted what harryh said, does not makes sense given the context of the post he was responding to:

> Terrorism has never been a problem. The same number of people died in car accidents during September 2001 as they did in terrorist attacks. Where is our war on cars?

My main point, and reason for making the distinction between metrics is explained here:

"However, if we had spent more effort in trying to reduce unnecessary and high-risk driving we would see a larger reduction in traffic deaths. This includes solutions like walkable cities, adequate public transit, and higher penalties for drivers engaged in risky behavior that cause fatalities. Focusing purely on deaths per mile excludes those types of interventions. Thus you can't use that measure to claim a 'war on car fatalities'."

Tightly integrated and ready to use graphics API that does not require setup has been used to teach programming for a long time.

In USSR there was a set of programs for education, called KuMir (mentioned in https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-English-based_programming_...). There is a GPL version of it for Windows and Linux at https://www.niisi.ru/kumir/index.htm
It provides two environments: one it which you can draw, another in which you control a robot. The second one is somewhat unique. Robot should bypass walls, can put and remove flags and can move cargo around. You can see some "screenshots" in a 1990 book: https://www.niisi.ru/kumir/books/1.pdf

Ick. I guess I'm spoiled; back in the early 1980s I had the pleasure of using BASIC09. It had the grungy control flow if you felt the need, but also had procedures (with actual local variables), decent control flow (save that you were stuck with ON <expr> (GOTO|GOSUB) rather than a reasonable switch (wasn't it called SELECT in other structured BASICs?) ), an integer and a Boolean type, and the moral equivalent of structures (though you had to redeclare them in each function they were used in, which was a bit of a pain and a possible source of error). It compiled to an intermediate code in the manner of Pascal P-code... and it ran on the 6809. That I'd be willing to consider suggesting for kids to use, at least when I'm not thinking they should be started on Haskell before they're corrupted by imperative languages. :)

I know this is HN and money is the name of the game, but... some people like creating things and if they want to do it in their 80s, they will.
