There are many userland binaries that require far more system calls than bash. Take any general purpose programming language, like Python, Ruby or JavaScript on node as a simple example. Their libraries expose a lot of functionality that would finally translate into syscalls.

So no. I disagree that bash was a major final milestone.

> If you have ever signed into FB from home, they know that machine / ip / whatever fingerprint is you. Even after you sign out, its still out.

Even if you signed out, they probably still have a cookie tracking who you are, and when your browser fetches that Like button, it will still send that cookie to the Facebook server. It'd be interesting on a shared computer where 2 people (e.g. a brother and sister) log in to FB alternatively, but I guess they can still distinguish who is who (e.g. person visits gaming forum, person visits this product page, person visits page with pics of a female supermodel: presumably it's the brother visiting all 3 sites. It's a bit sexist but that's what the algorithm would guess.)

Two of the listed websites refer to a design blog and site of the day website. As a designer, the problem I've always had with those categories is a lack of data backing up claims of good design and usability. It still feels like industry writeups are based on anecdata, personal experience presented as fact.

Yes, there are some mostly accepted guidelines, such as don't choose a font that's highly distracting, don't go overboard with colors, make things that are important easily accessible to the user... though even those can be broken in certain cases.

But when we extrapolate good practices simply based on what other companies do, we can be susceptible to make assumptions that are true... until they are not. For example, hiding navigation in the hidden left menu (via the hamburger icon) is completely fine because its practiced by most Android apps and Facebook/Spotify... until Facebook/Spotify redesigns their iOS apps to navigate main sections from the bottom, and Google releases their 2016 Material Design style guide that explicitly provides specs for a bottom navigation.

Then, for websites that get showcased by dint of high ratings from design judges, it seems like it's largely based on what's visually stunning, leaning heavily towards one-off marketing sites than considering whether or not it was ultimately successful in terms of impacting the users. I've certainly seen my fair share of things that seemed to look and feel good, only to perform quite badly in a real world environment. That's not to say that inspiration and aesthetics have no merit, but instead that design is a complex discipline that includes many considerations of the experience from a user, and that only focusing on the visual reinforces the unfortunate stereotype that designers only care about what looks pretty.
> That said, there's a huge gap between a religion a person is imparted with as a child, and philosophy they chose as an adult and have jumped into with both feet.

Searching out which people have chosen a philosophy as an adult is how witch hunts start and are justified. I've heard complaints about McCarthyism and the Red Scare over the years, and I thought the moral was "witch hunts are bad." However, it looks clear to me that other people think the main problem was that McCarthy picked the wrong targets. If he hadn't chased leftist beliefs, then perhaps he never would have been vilified.
So many of these problems go away if we just enforce higher quality (less annoying) ads.

I know the pain of searching for software to meet your requirements. But unless you have a friend you can really trust to provide informed recommendations, nobody can take this pain away for you.

If all require projects to say negative things about other people's projects while talking up their own, a lot of projects are going to distort the facts. In the end, if we don't have the ability to evaluate the software ourselves, then all we are measuring is who can shout the loudest and who is the most aggressive against other projects. Quiet projects will still be good, but now those would be overlooked even more because they aren't shouting. With this requirement you are making your life easier but you are making life harder on open source developers by forcing them to deal with unnecessary inter-project drama and to divert lots of effort into marketing that could have been put into code. That might make sense in proprietary products, but in open source this kind of demand just hurts the ecosystem.

If the pain of choosing is too much then choose something that is standardized, or the most popular thing, or what your trusted friend recommends. People will seek out the very specific projects they need. If you don't even know why you are using something, it isn't the responsibility of someone else to tell you why you are using it!

We've been asserting souls for quite a while now and we've been wrong every time. What does the weight of the artist's observations mean? How is that different from the result of machine learning, which is nothing if not carefully considered observations.

Are you doing any alternative methods of ad revenue or just removing ads from the site entirely?

> embedding external unsecure content,

There is an easy answer to that.

DON'T

Most browsers block it at this point, and rightfully so. A single unencrypted include can be used to inject malicious content on a web page. Lots of people use internet over untrusted connections (open wireless) or partially trusted connections (ISPs injecting content).

>You lost touch with the quantity of knowledge you accumulated over the years.

It doesn't matter what some guy posts on some message board (unless it's a threat, an incitement of violence, or something along those lines). It doesn't matter if he says he believes in "Gorean philosophy," whatever the hell that is.

What matters are his actions. If he's treating women disrespectfully then, by all means, throw him out. But he's allowed to believe whatever the hell he wants, and the idea that he should face repercussions for his beliefs is wrong, whatever age he was when he came to those beliefs.

Sure, there's going to be some correlation between holding misogynistic beliefs and inappropriate behavior toward women, but we don't punish the beliefs, we just punish the behavior. That's what makes this a free society.

The author wrote "OK-ish" code. I think code that is OK is one that was compiled with -o3, like basically all code in release mode. 'optimized' in this context should mean somebody spent time to make it faster.

In this discussion, doing something 'over and over', or doing less with more is a consideration at a higher level, and shouldn't play into this. This is about instructions per cycle, so being able to only do one instruction per cycle on average should only be due to continuous streams of dependent instructions, waiting on branches and waiting on memory.
Oh, fair point. I forgot about that. But it was never intended to be used with local console application ;-) (and ANSI.SYS goes back even further, I guess).
So the funny thing is how well macOS works even when it doesn't have the right drivers. At one point I tried and failed to set up a Hackintosh on unsupported hardware, but I was shocked to find how good it looked even with the default VESA video driver!

While Linux's VESA driver got tons of screen tearing issues and generally poor drawing speeds, Mac OS (this was 10.4) was sitting there drawing a fully composited desktop with no slowdowns whatsoever. At that same time, Linux required special graphics hardware with beta drivers to even get any form of desktop compositing working.

I see you've been downvoted, but the hatred towards Mir (instead of Wayland!) in a world where there are a million Linux distributions, and the idea that you could always switch to a different app/driver/OS/distribution/window manager/etc. has always been pushed as a strength of the platform clearly indicates that there was more to it, whether the people who hated on Mir knew it or not.
The three articles (the open letter, Dries' blog post and Larry's blog post) are unfortunately a little unclear on this unless you read them in their entirety, so it's worth clarifying: though it's discussed a lot, this is not at all about BDSM.

This is about Larry's belief in Gorean philosophy (which Larry chooses to conflate with his involvement in BDSM, in my view doing a massive disservice to the elsewise extremely benign BDSM community).

You are talking about the Linux kernel. Desktops (e.g. KDE, GNOME, Unity, etc) run practically exclusively on AMD64 systems that take the laptop or desktop form factor.

You can have both if both eventually exists. The problem is that a graphic server is a really hard software to make, integrate and maintain. We kept X for decades for this reason.

Trying to build and make a standard of a new one is hard enough.

Spending resources for a 3rd one, that we all knew has less chance of succeeding, was considered a waste by many.

As a community, some like me analyzed that Mir was a bad strategic move and just said it. There is nothing wrong with expressing this opinion. It's not stealing your freedom away.

Turns out we were right. Mir was too big of a project to chew for canonical, and the effort, that could have been invested in getting a better wayland sooner, was wasted.

This is a repeating problem in open source. It's hard to find the balance between innovation and playing as a team.

Given the fantastic track record of canonical though, we can't blame them. They tried. I'm glad they have this spirit, they made the Linux desktop better.

I'm also glad the Mir fad is over.
> And you don't need a code of conduct to kick someone out of a project because he's being unprofessional and/or a dick.

Unfortunately, my experience is that you actually do need to be able to point to something (a) precise and (b) that the community broadly agrees is a valid reason, in order to kick someone out without practically dissolving your community. A code of conduct is simply an agreement which states the community's beliefs on what are valid reasons to kick someone out.
I feel that you miss the point of WSL. Bash and coreutils have worked on Windows for years. In fact, they ship with git so most developers have had them for years.

> Just bear in mind you won't be able to go to US afterwards

It's worth clarifying that this isn't strictly true, at least for everyone. I've been in the US twice since visiting Iran for a few weeks in 2011, admittedly I got a bit of a grilling the first time, but second time around it didn't seem to cause any issues. However things have changed now that if you've visited Iran you're no longer eligible for the visa-waiver (if you're from a country that had that to begin with) so it does require a trip to the embassy for a visa before going to the US. I've yet to go through that process, so perhaps I'm being naive in assuming a visa will be forthcoming (at least for this pasty-faced Irishman).
The point you conceded is literally the only point I've trying to make since the original post.

Go back each level and you will see the same point being made over and over again. You owe me like 20 HN karma now.

Next time, rather than rushing to downvote, accuse of trolling and insult, read more carefully.

The problem here is you are thinking about just yourself. Yes, it's hard to do learn all these things. It was especially hard back then because the the sources to learn were pretty crappy and taught a lot of bad things. That's part of the reason we have the 'exploit a day' internet we suffer from now.

If new web developers have to learn both protocol security and code development, it will probably mean less developers. Which is great for the ones that take the time to learn, they'll get paid more.
