The use of global values within programs is generally deprecated, for good reasons. The use of global values that modify the semantics of its interpreter probably deserves even more skepticism.

The inheritance of these flags by subshells, which may have been written assuming different semantics, would be potentially even more problematic, so I think bash is right in this case, though arguably the inheritance could be limited to subshell code defined in the same file.

Having previously volunteered for an LSD study, it probably isn't as much fun as it sounds. The study I was on was conducted on a cold hospital ward with bright fluorescent lights, and required having vital signs measured throughout -- not an ideal environment to trip in. One participant in my group stood up and walked out mid-briefing. Thankfully I wasn't chosen, though everyone there looked terrified.

The research and campaigning done by the Beckley Foundation [1] and MAPS [2] is absolutely fantastic though, and I encourage everyone to check out their work.

WSL doesn't run a Linux kernel – a Windows Subsystem just provides a different API to the underlying Windows kernel, in this case the API Linux applications expect. So arguably, it's even further from a VM than CoLinux.
Apple excels at this. I walk across an Apple store on my way to work everyday and on most mornings, I see a small group of people in the store getting trained on various things Apple. I see old people learning how to use an iPad. During the weekends, small kids learn how to use Apple products. I am an Android and Windows user and while these OSes offer lots of features, I wish the companies behind them put in more effort in promoting their product.
And if you're willing to spend time learning Zsh, you have a surprisingly reliable and expressive language.

A bit unrelated but perhaps a marker for a healthy Vietnamese tech infrastructure, Vietnam has produced a couple of relatively high caliber e-sports teams in the Saigon Jokers and more recently The GigaByte Marines who are currently giving American team TSM a hard time at Riot Games mid season invitational.

While I realize this isn't exactly related to start ups it is interesting because in order to produce and support esports teams, and especially true if the team is any good, a couple of things must be true.

1) Large population of adolescents/young adults with regular access to internet.

2) Large player base to produce quality players.

3) Money from sponsors who see it as a viable marketing venture.

The fact that Vietnam has been able to do this bodes well for them.

I'm surprised Microsoft hasn't released a semi-offical Linux distribution for power users showcasing .Net Core and Azure assisted apps. At least a Linux container on par with AWS Lambda.
tl/dr:
Simply put, the cross platform distribution problem is solved (in way more ways than one), but I think the combination electron/nw.js + cross-platform-from-the-get-go languages will win, instead of other options like QT. I think it might be a waste of time to target a distribution and hope it gets ported reasonably to Windows, clouding your codebase in the process.

While possibly a highly unpopular opinion, this is where I think solutions like Electron/Node Webkit fit perfectly.I think this is actually kind of already solved (just not with the tools that everyone may want). We shouldn't be even aiming for any particular distribution to begin with, at the expense of a larger executable and less-than-native UI performance, you get write once ship just-about-everywhere when you use tools like electron/node webkit.

Developers often hate web programming, but it's just about the only easy to pick up, and relatively consistent tool for the job of platforms that "just work" (pretty much) everywhere right now. It even seems like the best way to do it going forward, given that:

- Browser companies will work hard towards making browsers faster and efficient, because it's in their best interest (which is the best kind of guarantee).

- Cross-platform minded languages like Go or Rust will become more popular for those who want to get away from using JS at all, and JS could basically become an RPC layer for the "real" application

- Once WASM really takes to the mainstream, languages will just compile it to it. WASM already has LLVM support, so there's a bunch of languages for free already.

So soon, JS won't even be the sticking point in why people dislike distributing cross-platform apps with Electron/NodeJS, then we'll focus on things like executable size and memory usage, and solutions will pop up for those things too.

I don't know if your question is genuine or whether you were more asking out of anger...it's different from the standpoint of editorial involvement. Fox News and MSNBC have editors who filter the majority of their content, while the users (readers) contribute, "feedback" in terms of what stories are, "hot/trending" as well as comments. In Twitter/Facebook these roles are reversed, with the users filtering the majority of the content, barring outright obscene content.

Fox News and MSNBC do have the option of pushing stories which change the conversation, thereby controlling how things are delivered on a story-by-story basis, like an art form whereas Facebook has dials and levers to tweak particular aspects of how sharing is done. I would say news content on Facebook is 90% sharing, 10% curation while news content on MSNBC and Fox are 80% curation and 20% sharing.

What is happening with Ubuntu is what happens when the top executives realize that it may be more profitable to mothball their companies' developments and sellout to the main competition rather than compete with them.

With Canonical and Redhat virtually in bed with Microsoft does any one seriously think that Canonical was going to proceed on a path that would mean getting into head on competition with a major company they had decided to collaborate with?

When Ubuntu collaborates with Microsoft on Bash/WSL what do you think is going to happen? When hardware vendors don't want to open up their drivers for Linux to compete effectively with Windows and Mac how much progress can Ubuntu make with their phones?

The Linux desktop is supposed to be a power users desktop but their poor vision of its developers failed it. It is supposed to be the equivalent of an advanced Smalltalk or Lisp workstation where its administration is concerned, to managed by messaging passing scripting languages like Smalltalk, Lisp or similar. The fact that it is still managed by tedious error prone scripts and configuration files only shows how poor the whole design has been. Coming to think of Linux is just the kernel, and none of the desktop developers had the smarts to develop a sound administration language and build the desktop proper on top of it. All that has happened is that it has given Microsoft and the other big guys the breathing space to retrench and now they have carved up the market by basically co-opting Redhat and Canonical into their camp.

Frankly Canonical has no future, and you can expect it to be absorbed by Redhat at some point in the future given that Redhat controls the Debian project which is the foundation on which Ubuntu itself is built. The only reason why Microsoft would not absorb Canonical itself is to give the impression of competition.

So in effect Ubuntu has turned into the goto desktop for Linux administrators, while Microsoft deepens and extends its reach by making Windows the goto tool for developing cross platform applications.

Nice, because right now altough I use a linux VM for dev work, I am still bummed by the latency and stuff. For tty based work it is there but any X.org workload is still laggy as fuck, which kinda bothers me a little while coding (I'm using Xubuntu with all the VirtualBox additions on).

--If I decided to do one less picture, that meant other people at the studio in lower tax brackets wouldn’t work as much either; the effect filtered down, and there were fewer jobs available. I remember one scene in the Knute Rockne picture that had only a farmer and a horse in it on location that created work for 70 people.

Because people would watch one less picture if he was in it? or someone else would get an opportunity to play in his role? And someone else would get the opportunity to complain about making so much the government takes most of it.

Don't get me wrong there is a balance, but the argument to always lower taxes makes no sense.
An interesting article on Jio from The Economist:

http://www.economist.com/news/business/21718495-jios-100m-ne...

By their math, acquiring those 100 million customers cost 25 billion USD. The writer is sceptical that Jio will ever make that money back.

Personally I think it's awesome that an Indian billionaire is spending his money on local digital infrastructure. Even if Jio doesn't become hugely profitable, its network seems to be a boon to India.
It's not true that it is cheap because of the local currency low value: the IT wages were approximately the same when $1k was 8k hrn.

So you're saying that a fuzzier would be more likely to hit every code path, that makes lots of sense when testing for vulnerabilities / crashes etc.

Validating against a spec is almost the opposite, since first it has to check that there is a code path for each part of the spec.
The big opportunity here isn't serving the US, a place already well served, with though competition from Amazon, but creating a platform to serve smaller countries, without fulfillment infrastructure services or with a weak one, , earning margins closer to an e-tailer margins than a warehouse supplier, and with the possibility, since the country is small with fewer competitors - maybe manage to carve out a long terms table position.

Self-generation of key with gated registration to central repository, auth'd via k5, distributed via cvsup (remember that?). Automatic expiry according to configurable policy.

The installation process for the WSL still blows - and I say that as somebody who really likes this feature.

I tried doing it today on my laptop:

1.) Open up the Programs and Features control panel.

2.) Go to Turn Windows Features on or off

3.) Select the Windows Subsystem for Linux option and hit OK. Installs, prompts for reboot.

4.) Try to launch C:\Windows\System32\bash.exe. Console window flashes momentarily and disappears.

5.) Open CMD window and run bash.exe. See a message that says "In order to use this feature you must have Developer Mode enabled."

6.) Faff around trying to find where the developer mode switch is hidden, in the newer Settings app. Enable that. Wait five-ten minutes as it does... things. Reboot again.

7.) Try to run bash again, and again console window flashes in and out of existence in a millisecond. Run it again from a CMD window. Type "y" to accept license terms. More things download from the Windows Store(?). Create a linux account.

8.) Finally have bash working on Windows, albeit in the terrible, terrible default console shell. Go look up how to setup ConEmu...

This really should be streamlined a little bit, right?
I'll email you at the Spreadserve one in a bit.
I think there is a distinction to make between developers of applications deployed on servers and deployed on desktops. I know the latter category is a dying breed, but still.

With WSL, developers targeting servers do have less of an incentive to port to Windows; but I'd argue that was the trend already, which is why MS is finally coming around.

On the other hand, developers targeting desktops now have more of an incentive to target Windows. A lot of early adopters and peers for these people are power users and other developers, who run Linux or Mac on their desktops as much as (if not more than) Windows. If more of these people move back to Windows because of WSL, desktop developers will have to consider Windows a priority again.

While a lot of the focus of "New MS" is on selling and promoting their cloud services, they are also interested in stemming the bleed on desktop. WSL helps a lot in that regard, IMHO; and as a side effect, it keeps developers on Windows: familiarity is always useful when it comes to peddle other Windows-based solutions. Win-win (for MS).

Absolutely agreed -- I saw a different HN thread about running Windows 10 on ARM and:

- thought to myself "why on earth would anyone want that"

- looked at the comments, noted people who were working with legacy software that turned out to be dependent on windows, decided to keep my disparaging commentary to myself

- felt sympathy with smidgen of condescension (I'm of the opinion that someone should just rewrite those old tools, but being a relatively young developer, I'm naive like that)
