I'd love to see it, but considering how long it took desktop Linux distibutions to run semi-reliably on most PCs which have far fewer hardware differences and important components without even partially reverse engineered specifications, I'm very suspicious this is a feasible way forward.

The arguments of ls are simply an optimization for things which are done so frequently that simply typing them over and over becomes a huge waste of time. In the early days, you can imagine people first typing everything out manually, then creating macros like 'ls | awk {stuff} | sort -k2 |..." and then just getting fed up with your .xxxrc file and modifying the ls source to trim it down to a couple of arguments.

Taken to extremes, this article seems to suggest that all command line flags for every executable ought to be replaced with separate executables and pipes. Just imagine how many files would be in /usr/bin, and how many of them you would have to remember just to do useful work every day. We'd have to increase inode limits just to hold all the manpages. An OS like this would not be one I'd like to use.
GPU hardware on Amazon is quite pricey. I would be careful since it can get out of hand rather quickly.
So, any resource suggestions (not necessarily books) for someone interested in a more practical approach ?

The next big OS is going to be Google Fuchsia, which runs on the Magenta kernel (not Linux) and runs apps built with Flutter.

Inb4 nay-sayers, but if you have followed Fuchsia for a few months and have seen the speed of development and just how many people and new technologies are involved, you will see why this isn't even a question.

But whitespace was banned from file names decades ago, and look what happened: people wanted it added in. So it was added in. That's progress!

If the shell can't handle this well, the problem is that the shell is not very well designed, and we need something better.

Meanwhile, I never have problems with spaces in file names when I'm doing stuff in C++, C#, Python, etc.

Australia has a banking ombudsman that resolves disputes like this, though I've never had reason to use it. There's also a telecommunications ombudsman - it's a magic word whenever the phone companies screw up (a fairly regular occurrence, though less so recently), I just say I'm recording this call to send to the ombudsman and everything is fixed really quickly.

I believe there a sort of government service but the banks/telcos pay for them by each complaint they get charged - it's free for consumers and works well.

I realise it doesn't help the ops current problem but just mentioning it as a good solution.

that's not the argument at all- it's not safety, but total throughput. The speed argument makes only a bit of sense- a few people attain higher speed, but at dramatically lower total overall throughput.
I don't think I missed its trees - I called out the article as missing the 'doing it well', and the bit you quoted me on was the bit of satire on overzealous puritanism.

We'll have to agree to disagree here. I think of a 'tool' as more than just a named simple function - the author's definition of 'do one thing' is ridiculously narrow (hence the satire).

Isn't Microsoft still in a good position to bring a full features desktop OS to smartphones once their ARM port is complete? I for one am not big into Windows, but if MS continues their current path of integration on continuity I could see it getting to a certain point of "critical mass" where people can have one digital environment for work, leisure times mobilr and stationary and do everything anywhere. Both iOS and Android seem ill suited for that.
I don't have experience with the Amazon AMIs for deep learning, but I'll give the tip that you can use spot instances with limited lifespans (x instance at $y price for at most z hours) to reduce cost and the risk you forget to shut something down.
I got that for a while but it seems okay now.
For interactive use, tab completion already takes care of the escaping. For anything else the actual headache is that things are passed around as strings and command argument parsing is done for the expanded string where spaces can cause different argument parsing unexpectedly. This is certainly not limited to filenames but any argument that can contain spaces and is passed to a different command without proper quoting. The very fact that it's so easy to get wrong is perhaps a sign that things are a bit broken. But not necessarily at the filesystem level ...

>>Preface: I'm Indian, and I genuinely want ISRO to be the space agency: if not today, then certainly in fifty years.

Wanting the end without any focus on means will take us no where.

Like I said in another comment. Focus on development of human resources. Good quality and uniform standard of education for everyone without discrimination. Building high quality higher institutions of the standard of Harvard's, MIT's and Stanford's is what will prepare your next generation of citizens who will build the next space stations and space telescopes.

In short solve social and political problems first. Western perspective on India is right though. You can't have starving people, who don't have access or means to basic hygiene or sanitation, coupled with society deeply in social problems won't take you too far.

What you have at ISRO is despite these problems and initial inertial of the initiatives created by a leader like Jawaharlal Nehru. Unfortunately off late the country's politics hasn't much talent to offer to the challenges and needs of our times.
> My dream would be an android "distribution", that doesn't rely on some murky "update by getting a new image somewhere if you're lucky enough that someone built one for your device".

LineageOS (http://lineageos.org/) has OTA updates with UI: https://1.f.ix.de/scale/geometry/710x500/q75/imgs/71/2/1/3/6...

Right, the monolithic images make sense for the phone manufacturers who want to update a lot of identical devices. Much less for the individual, who wants to install a distribution on their device (which e.g. might no longer be supported by the vendor).

I always found it wierd that people talk about "flashing" "ROMs", like it's firmware. It's not, it is under the hood not too different from installing a desktop OS on a hard disk (except you can't pop in a USB drive, you have to use a cable and ADB).

The (e.g. CyanogenMod) ROMs for different phones are not too different. In principle, you could wrap something around ADB that "flashes" (well, copies) a base OS, and then the needed drivers / radio / apps per model.

Also wierd that you can't easily replace individual components. If I want to make a change to a base package or the kernel, I have to reflash everything, instead of replacing one file (well, you can yourself, but nobody in the scene offers that).
The main problem with FOSS Android seems to be that your device has to be actually supported due to the myriad of cpu, graphics etc. combinations. I looked shortly for a tablet of mine which is completely workable but hangs at Android 4.2 - unfortunately there doesn't seem to be a CyanogenMod variant for it (so, probably no Lineageos either). The update story of Android devices is really sad ..

Maybe the fact that there are no buses and cabs at night is because people are driving home from bars anyway?

Here's the thing: it's not that we have great transportation, what we don't have is bars and restaurants pop up in some random spot next to a road, with a big parking lot in front. If you build a restaurant like that, you kind of already made clear that it's a restaurant for people in cars.
Well they should be banned then, but they are not. Also it might be a stupid idea for regular use but not so stupid idea as an attack vector. Along with filenames starting with a dash.
Given Google's current track record for AOSP with bringing active development into Google Play and deprecating open source components, I am skeptical that it will be good for openness.
>> Roughly half the 'power of prolog' comes from the 'power of logic programming' and prolog is by far not the only logic programming language, e.g.,

It is also by far the most popular logic programming language, in terms of the number of users and the number of different interpreters.

It's a bit like LISP and functional languages, although of course functional programming has been adopted far more than logic programming so there's many more functional, than logic programming languages.
to be honest I thought vero means true from verus so the meaning is true mail :) I like your interpretation too though
> Maybe because you called Android "a slightly less terrible Windows Mobile 6".

Okay, that's entirely fair. I guess I've gotten too caught up in the fragmentation and vulnerability hype.

I think I was underexaggerating when I said "slightly" as well - Android is a remarkably decent system by and large.

Rejecting human intelligence being Turing-complete in the same sense as a particular conventional computer (i.e as a linear bounded automaton) would be a pretty hard sell. It would be equivalent to claiming that there was a single-threaded C program that a human with unbounded time and scratch paper couldn't step through.

No, they guarantee that where proper care is taken the device will run for x months. If you try to use it underwater they won't repair it for free, and if you have it repaired by a non approved party they won't repair it for free. Both represent "misuse"
Many people don't consider something "open source" if they can't build it themselves.

With the explanation about high profile people it makes sense. For the rest of us there is the chicken-egg problem. I can't afford to deny all emails not send through that system. I whished I could charge a micro-payment for it, like 3 cents, just to keep spam away.
The same is true for Ubuntu Phone though, as it uses the same drivers.

Cloud, but there is nothing stopping me from packaging it up and having it run on premises.

OS vs Application is what I am asking here about. I could focus on OS/system monitoring or specific applications. If I go for generic application monitoring then I am competing with the big guys and that is what I am trying to avoid.

What I don't get about bicycles and Sinophone countries is this: in countries that usually price space a premium in cities, bicycles congregate in large clusters, fall into disrepair, and the supply in these clusters always outstrips demand, but the clusters form nonetheless, and are utilized ( they're not refuse ), but always under capacity. The only explanation I can offer is maybe there's something very Chinese about huge clusters of bicycles that is reassuring so long as they are there, even if they are mostly not under active use.

Some strange equilibrium point between inconvenient and useful. I don't know why the bicycle is subject to this "natural law" but is nothing else I've observed.

It might not just be a Chinese thing. I haven't travelled to Russia, South America or Africa...maybe it happens there too.

It won't be an explicit money grab. Once they have pushed out other competitors, they will IPO. Then, they will come under pressure from Wall Street to turn a profit (eventually...unless they do a la Amazon and keep creating/expanding into new markets). Then all Uber customers/drivers will see an email like: Dear Customers, Thanks for being a great part of our "community". Due to rising costs/regulations/some_generic_reason, we have to regretfully increase prices by $X.
That's a very technical viewpoint. The API agreement tells not to share the key, which obviously does not mean you can't include it in the app binary. I interpret that as not being allowed to publish the key with the source code though.

What secret strings?

You distribute user-specific secrets after a user has logged in over a secure channel.

You don't get to have app-specific secrets - since anybody can get and run the app (and modify it!), nothing in it has a reason to be secret. This means that you don't get to have an API that's available only through that app and with limitations set by that app. If you use a third-party API that requires you to enforce limits on its use (e.g. that end users can't redistribute access to that API), this means that you can't meet the requirements of that API licencing.
If you come visit my house, I'm likely to offer you a drink when you arrive.

Yes, I think that's a fair stance. Just means I can't publish my app. Maybe that's even desirable, considering the service is providing non-free data.
He hasn't been incorrectly named in a lawsuit. His Bank of America account was mistakenly debited as a result of a legal order against some other, unrelated person with a similar name.
As for pricing - looks like it would be niche dependent. I was thinking of nothing less than $99/month and then up since I probably could not support many small customers on a lower price point.
I've done a few games for a company I work for. These were developed as minisites for marketing purposes. I used Construct for the first game and that was very limiting (but very "easy" to use.), but in the end this created a lot of bugs (as you can't fully control the logic sometimes) and it's not easy to extend.

The next 3 or 4 were done in Phaser. It was very easy to setup and to code your own stuff in it. It runs very well and because you can code around it, server connections were also easy to do. The next game will be done again Phaser.js.

When you are being questioned by authorities, even if you are 100% clear/not guilty in the matter the simple fact of the matter is that it is very unlikely that you will be 100% accurate in your testimony to the authorities. Little details (even when correct) can be twisted by the authorities who have an incentive to get a conviction. So the fifth amendment was created to give legal protection to individuals who do not wish to testify or talk with authorities themselves and allow them to utilize an impartial 3rd party lawyer to manage the conversation flow.

A jury in a criminal case is not supposed to hold any weight to someone taking a fifth amendment plea to not talk (since it's a provision really meant to protect the innocent) but with human nature that's unfortunately not the case.

However, since this is a civil case I don't know if the legal system has to be neutral in a Fifth amendment plea. If not that would help Waymo's case, especially since Waymo does have evidence that he downloaded these documents. So Him taking the fifth is just to make sure he doesn't do anything himself that will spawn a criminal conviction later.

I second this, I'm pretty happy with my 1st gen Jolla, though it desperately needs an hardware update. To be able to get a terminal either on the device or by logging in with SSH to fix things or make changes is great.

Not all the UI components are open source (yet?) though it's pretty close to stock Qt; at least the base system is open-source, and that's more important to me – I think they want to prevent full rip-offs rather than lock down the system from their own users.

I've been critical of these computer-in-your-pocket claims a few years ago, but I can see now that if the hardware keeps improving at the rate it does, having a full Linux system based on something like Sailfish or Ubuntu Phone with a keyboard and screen attached could work out for a lot of scenarios.

SpaceX is already doing pretty good on launch cadence and they are gone to be way better before 2020 because they are building launch sites like crazy. Neither Arianspace or ULA will be able to keep up (they are simply not expanding their launch sites at the same rate).

You have a point on reliability, but I would ask you to consider that both Arianspace and ULA is pushing hard to get a new launch vehicle. There is no way, they would be doing that if they thought reliability was their big money maker. Additionally with their new rockets, that reliability will be mostly gone. Vulcan and Arian 6 need to build up a record as well, and that will be hard because they will both be very limited in launch cadence just because they don't actually have enough commercial flights.
