Considering the share that Linux has on the desktop, this is hardly a surprise.
This has been my experience too on the limited number of embedded projects I've done. I once had an intermittent issue with the device locking up when going into sleep mode that took me 60 hours to get to the exact cause, which was in the CPLD, where isuues with a similar level of complexity I'd usually be able to pin down in a single day in my expertise area of server software.

Also, recently having received an Arduino project to work on, it was a bit of a garden path to get to the point where I could get it running under GDB.

Now I make sure I always have two working pieces of hardware, and I verify the hardware functionality to the extent possible before trying to implement software features on top of it.
> Yes, but production <> distribution

Compare with the second paragraph:
"The reality is that Facebook is one of the most powerful companies the tech industry — and arguably, the world — has ever seen. True, everything posted on Facebook is put there for free, either by individuals or professional content creators; and true, Facebook isn’t really irreplaceable when it comes to the generation of economic value; and it is also true that there are all kinds of alternatives when it comes to communication. However, to take these truths as evidence that Facebook is fragile requires a view of the world that is increasingly archaic."

FB doesn't pay for the content, which is a major advantage over traditional companies that do both creation and distribution (newspapers) or ones where content is licensed somehow (television, music labels). FB is agnostic to the costs of creating the content, but their networks necessitate producers to user their platform.
That sounds super neat, and also super hard to specify and implement, in either C++ or Ruby.
My current policy is to keep work and personal devices completely separate. Call if you need me urgently, otherwise it can wait until the next work day.

I used to have my work email and Slack on my phone. Eventually we started to implement stricter security, which I found disagreeable, so I purged everything work-related.
You can tear it apart and understands how the mechanism work but you don't have the million details about the manufacturing process, precise drawings with tolerances, material composition, etc.

People already create and distribute patches for Windows releases: release binary diffs (e.g. "patcher" programs) - which has the added advantage of being much smaller and easier to distribute - and that doesn't even mean you need to violate copyright law anyway.
It's the PC/SJW lunacy and its ideas becoming mainstream.
This is pretty much correct. Upspin is way more filesystem-like than Camlistore, but I would emphasize Upspin's single global name space, rather than the filesystem-ness.

I think both Camlistore and Upspin have promising models.
Of my steam library of 324 - yes, mostly Indie games, not AAA, which generally don't interest me - 230 is available on Linux. Now I have to admit I would not buy a Humble Bundle if there were not at least two Linux compatible games in it, but then why would I as I have 3 home machines none of which ran Windows. That changed when I bought a Vive, the same machine has not been switched on since October last year... Oh well another 2k invested in the "future of humanity".
If one is a computer scientist, yes. If one is a programmer, not at all.
How about stating very publicly that a judge could not be impartial because he's Mexican. That's kinda textbook right there.
> They liked the idea, but the support overhead wasn't worth it for them.

The support overhead killed Linux on Asus and Acer netbooks. That and hardware returns from people who found the operating system unusable....

Outside of Apple, PC margins are extremely thin.
It's definitely very good and has a lot to offer, but I still can't justify $70 for some reason. The free version offers enough functionality to be a very good PuTTY alternative though.
Steam survey doesn't show percentage of usage per OS for cross platform games. At least I've never seen such data published. It's tossed around often, but it's not useful really.
> Obamacare is the republican solution to health insurance, it's a federal version of Romneycare. Republicans should love it, because it's their own program, but they hate it.

When I used the word 'bubble', it really was applicable to you.

People who raise the same points you've raised are so out of touch with anyone who doesn't agree with them already.

When was the last time you met someone who could be convinced with the following argument:

"Hey believer-of-X-ideology, you should support idea Y because it is actually a part of X ideology because one of the prominent leaders of the X ideologists supported it".

Romney is a blue state Republican, which is different than a red state Republican. I'm sure Republicans in Massachussetts or California would all be ok with Obamacare, but the states in which Romney would never be a governor, they hate Obamacare for the idea it represents.

I think what GP is proposing is significantly different than space craft: in space, you have limited space for redundancy, so you overbuild to avoid failure of key parts.

I think GP is proposing you start with, say, 11000 servers when you have a planned capacity of 10000, and just cycle off bad ones for spares (or just diminished capacity) until you redo the whole system.

I believe that's how Microsoft operates their server farms, but I could be mistaken.
Some of the big cloud providers (Google and I think Facebook) do exactly this in their DC's, when hardware dies they just leave it dead until enough has failed in that rack to make it worth swapping out the whole thing.

When you have a 100,000 of anything electrical MTBF will hit you every day.
I would suggest getting out of your bubble (I'm not trying to insult you). But the way you disparage rural people and assign false motives to so many shows (in my opinion) that you are grossly ill-informed about those of which you speak.

And I think (if you read the original article) this is what frustrates so many across the country. Whether all, or some, or none of what you attribute the motivations of Trump voters to exist.... you're completely unaware of soooo much more that guides them.

For example: https://www.commentarymagazine.com/articles/our-miserable-21...

Please take a minute to read it all. From the economic wasteland that much of middle America has become, to the massive addiction to prescription drugs & heroin, and widespread unemployment.... is it any wonder that people would want to try something completely new?

But no... keep throwing around your labels.
Keep calling people racist bigot homophobe, sexist. That will surely convince the guy with no job prospects that it's all in his head, and his heart. Not the emptiness in his pocket.

"Maybe the liberals are right to defend their patch from this creeping menace with zero tolerance?" -- And this last election was a line in the sand, for many defending there patch from the "intolerance" of the far left.

Marine fouling of the heat exchangers is probably the biggest technical hurdle.
Cool. I'd love to see a section detailing the most important trade-offs that differentiate upspin from other projects, compare the approach to the alternatives and explain why upspin's approach is superior (for $TARGET_USE_CASE)
> Do conservatives label virtually all our opponents with slurs?

Yes. That is, for any opponent of the right, you'll find someone on the right that has labelled them with a slur for their politics.

Of course, many on the Right see themselves as individuals and the Left as a single faceless collective, so while they will take it as "the Left" using a slur if anyone on the Left does so, they will dismiss it as an isolated subgroup if someone on the Right, but not the whole Right, does so for a particular target on the Left. (The same is true in reverse, of course.)

If one server goes down and they are not able to restore it remotely they will just write it off. If a large number go down due to some common failure, it might make sense to haul the whole thing up and refurbish it.
When you spend an hour with your child, the child matures by another hour worth of your attention. The relationship also becomes an hour stronger, plus you gain memories associated with the hour. With single player games there is only the memory, no relationship building and no nurturing provided. Good observation about most games make us someone important.
I always thought the book was better.
Right now the main option I'm considering is Nalpeiron. I'll keep my eyes on keygen, though, thanks for the info.
Ok. Good point.
The Steam survey says that 95.97% of Steam users use Windows, and almost 50% use Windows 10.

Only 0.8% use Linux.

This looks great - I was working with an old iOS app back when Swift was first released and I wrote an XML parsing library SOLELY because the SOAP support was horrific. I think this will help a lot of people. If you don't mind, I might add a link to your repo from my README just to help point people towards a better approach over manual XML parsing.
Which again doesn't solve the problem described above. Only massive availability can change things.

Maybe I am mistaken, but I thought that much recruiter interest on linked in is pretty typical. I live in the Mid Western United States and what was previously mentioned is also true here from my observations. Most of it comes down to having the right keywords and tags I believe. Having .net/java/mobile in your profile nets a lot of messages where I am. Words like Scala/Python/Node/Ruby/etc gets you a bit more.

80% of it is for jobs within the surrounding city, 10% for within the state and 10% out of state. That said, most of these jobs you could also find without the recruiters as well, but sometimes ones from internal recruiters (and if you're lucky a developer/dev manager) are useful.
There is a tiny fraction of linear algebra that's very useful for most games, but you can pick most of it up over a long weekend. Further taking the class five years ago means you still need that long weekend anyway...

Compared to say learning direct X it's a tiny time investment and hardly worth a degree.
There's really nothing special about Linux, but timing was right and political blunders beset all other contenders. In the end the price tag of a free UNIX was too good for cheap web hosts and eventually hyperscalers and Linux had insatiable hype and sidestepped most blunders. Less importantly for numbers but critically important for actual engineering talent (hyperscalers are pretty low on anything other than ops talent), high end IT applications like RDBMS and three letter acronym software from IBM, Oracle and HPC also needed to land somewhere as the commercial UNIX market shit the bed. That brought in things like RCU and high core count scalability relatively early on that turned out to be well suited for mainstream servers a short few years later.

One interesting thought experiment is that cost model is the primary thing holding the WinNT kernel back as again hyperscalers tend to have very low expertise and contribution to the systems software space. A free WinNT heavily focused on the Linux (I want to say POSIX but that would be unnecessary friction at this point) personality that did containers and orchestration well would actually be interesting and a pretty easy path for MS to navigate. The space is terrible enough the MS could navigate a superior solution due to vertical integration. Think Joyent's SDC but from MS. In effect, this was what happened to Linux on the desktop -- Apple executed in a way that vertical integration can always out-engineer the bazaar model on coherence, and OS X took over desktop UNIX.

Linux on the phone and embedded space I actually expect to see this erode as IoT disasters come home to roost. Things like Google's Magenta kernel, capability kernels, seL4 will probably displace it. As in the server space, the Linux personality may live on in image activation here due to entrenched developer mindset, but it's really never been a good platform to build these things on.
As recently as two weeks ago their support were replying on their forum about their reasons for not being Linux compatible [0].

Thanks, this is probably a better landing page for HN than the linked release page!

I had a quick hunt for it but couldn't see it on the release page.
I decided to look, given that I'd heard a lot about Rt being untrustworthy. Here's what a cursory search found, but it's possible the results may have been biased by my search term. It's up to you to determine whether these are credible or if there's another side not represented here. One (American) new sanchor for RT quit on the air because they believed the agency was advancing Putin's agenda over the news[1][2]

As to how much of a public institution it is, I think it's important to look at how much of the organization's budget is from the state. For PBS, it appears it was around 12% in 2010[3]. RT appears to get almost all its funding from the government (if Wikipedia is to be trusted)[4].

Sorry for the Quora links, but really, there's no reason to accept anything I present over what people there might be able to supply anyways. I present them not as sources, but as additional discussions about the topic.

let me double check the hull speed formula for datacenters.
I reckon the increasing popularity of FOSS is paving the way for the examples you've listed to start becoming mainstream. Social media is already starting to kick that third one into gear, and I wouldn't be surprised if the growing remix culture soon evolves into licensing terms that expand fair use to "you can sample my song as part of your song as long as your song is substantially different from my song".
Steam survey is not useful for estimating Linux usage of cross platform games. It's not even clear how accurately it represents all Steam users. But given that majority of Steam games are Windows only, such survey is pointless when you need to know percentage of Linux usage for a given title.
Ford to skip past level-3 autonomy because its engineers kept falling asleep
This may or may not scale but I've been lucky to be part of a startup program that roughly matches your description of a "better option". It's a 2-year program; I was, and still am, part of their experimental first class of students. So far I've gone through 9 months of entirely CS study, and I was even placed in an internship working in Mountain View, and without a college degree.

I have never held a dev job before, but I’ve gotten to doing some pretty serious and nuanced coding (all the way down to memory management and writing in C). They’re a really great team of people, their unofficial motto is “Google it”, and RTFM, and their program is called Holberton School.

I really hope it succeeds.
It's also a disaster on NFS.
I continue to work through the backlog :-) But an example of where it hurt me was buying some excellent books on 3D graphics after my time available to write 3D code was waning. I'm still interested in 3D graphics but since I haven't had a really easy to use environment for learning since the 3dfx library died I don't spend a lot of time there. There is a lot of friction between starting with an idea and pushing it through the OpenGL or DX12 APIs.

I agree, I am basing it on things I vaguely remember having read and a tiny bit out of my ass. Chomsky uses this a consistent talking point, sorry again no reference, that the polls are consistently to the left of the Democrats.

I wish I could give you a better answer, and will concede my documentation is lacking. I do believe this is true based on my conversations with Democrat and GOP voters when living here. Most people are fairly leftist when it comes to specifics, well except paying taxes.
This is definitely fun... It'd be nice if it used Github to login and save to Gists. Also, I think it'd be better if the developer called u(t){}, rather than it being the content of the entire post, so it could set up variables, etc., and since it already has a few shortcuts like c,x,C,S,T,R, might as well add in a more complete API.
Cheers. A couple of nice features here, might even start using the 64 bit version though I doubt it will have much impact.

Would it make sense to provide an upspin server interface to Camlistore?
And Romneycare is a state-level implementation of the mandate-and-subsidy proposal that various national Republicans and the insurance industry came up with as the recommended national healthcare policy in the wake of the failure of the Clinton plan in the 1990s when there was still pressure for a national policy.

Of course, by sometime in Bush's Presidency, the dominant proposal among Republicans who thought there should be a national policy (which was a shrinking number) had evolved: it was still a mandate and subsidy plan, but now restricted to high-deductible plans tied to HSAs.
> I believe some heat can be lost due to radiation.

In hard space all the heat is lost as radiation (minus and incredibly tiny loss from hitting the very few particles in space), the dark side can be treat as a blackbody for a rough approximation.

One of the reasons that the side exposed to the sun is mirrored is to reflect as much of the radiation falling on that side as possible as the heat is so hard to get rid off, people think the shiny part is gold but it's actually usually mylar or something stacked in a layered insulation.

Space is a horrible environment to make things work, metals spontaneous weld themselves (vacuum welding), radical differentials in temperature depending on orientation, your electronics are constantly hammered by high energy radiation, micro impacts by things travelling at velocities that make a sniper rifle look like a slingshot, it's fascinating as a layman what it takes to keep stuff working reliably up there at all.

Is embedded work, in general, well paid? And is it relatively easy to get new work once you've broken into it?

It seems to be not very visible. I'm under the impression that some "not very visible" work is well paid and not going away any time soon. I'm thinking of some cobol or pascal developer called out of retirement at great expense.

Or is this like being at the edge of new/exotic web 2.0 where you are continually looking for the next job, re-learning tech over and over.

I know this is a big topic and perhaps there is no correct answer overall.

If anyone has any resources to job sites or further articles I'd love to read them.
Huh. I stand corrected. I thought for sure the package used automatic differentiation using dual numbers.
As far as I can make out, this isn't distributed --- while there may be multiple file servers, each piece of data is stored on exactly one file server, and you need to use the directory service to allow you to identify which file server stores the data. Then you contact that file server and it's a perfectly ordinary remote file system.

It sounds like it ought to be nigh-trivial to bolt IPFS support onto it, so that the file server is replaced by IPNS (can't be IPFS because Upspin is mutable). So, you look up elvis@theking.com/fnord and the directory server hands you '<hash>/fnord', and the client library then goes and looks up the data via IPNS. No file servers required.

Of course, this means that the only way of doing ACL enforcement is via encrypted data which is unlocked via ephemeral keys handed out by the keyserver, which as a solution is pretty terrible, but ACL enforcement in a decentralised system is practically impossible anyway.
