But then you find that somewhere in the lower layers of the framework/interpreter you were using there's something that relies on it. You disable all the sysctls you thought you weren't using and then your image library turns out to need them.

What's the difference between a unikernel sending data to the hypervisor and a process sending data to the kernel? The data always has to cross the boundary one way or another. Why would one approach be any more or less safe than the other?

Thats completely different from "conversion" bans that you were talking about before.

Sure, you can ban the use of all tokens, but a conversion ban between 1 currency and another makes no sense.
There's a huge success story in machined buildings - Butler Buildings.[1] They have about 100 standard steel parts, from which industrial and farm buildings can easily be constructed. Rural America has millions of their buildings, from small sheds to large factories. They offer wall and roof sections with and without insulation. (Their site promotes the fancier options for schools, malls, and churches, but the volume is in the plain metal ones.)

There are competing systems, such as Behlen.[2] ("Good iron. GREAT experience"). All these systems bolt together on site, usually mounted to a concrete slab. Such buildings are dull, boring, weathertight, easy to erect, and durable. They're rarely seen in cities, so many people don't know about them. But get thirty miles outside a big city and they're everywhere.

A lean startup, done right, plans the MVP and promises only that, as a first iteration. Then, if necessary, they can pivot in a new direction with another MVP v2, or use the credibility from the execution of their first, viable, release, to raise support for a major expansion or three.

„...convertibility to the local currency illegal...“ curious: what would be a real world example of this already existing?
Well in a distributed system you are in a way always out of sync. The primary achievement of Bitcoin was taking already exiting pieces (hash cash, Merkle trees, signatures etc.) and assembling them in a way that solves consensus in such a system (see [0]). What's interesting is the combination of these pieces. They were known a long time before. Actually I had CS lessons where we were creating virtual currencies with these exact elements long before Bitcoin happened (of course no one got Bitcoin in the process :(... or maybe they did but never told me :) ).

How to know Bitcoin better? The best approach is the same as with everything else: reverse engineer and recreate a small coin in your language of choice (chain using hashes plus a simple proof of work using N leading 0s). Remember Satoshi's genius was in assembling pieces in a way nobody thought of, you just need to copy a small version of that. It's not that difficult.

For me the most interesting aspect is smart contracts [1]. That's the one underutilized element of the system that is quite versatile.

Is it just me, or shouldn't an OS be able to kill it's own processes? When I kill -9 in Linux, the application is dead, gone... doesn't hang, doesn't sit there frozen.

Task Manager... don't even get me started. It feels like half the time when I try to end a process, it won't end. It'll hang up Task Manager or something else will freak out before you actually end a non-responsive process.

This is why I feel Windows can't shut down half the time. It doesn't actually seem to be able to kill and shutdown it's own processes. So when shutdown time comes, one little app hang and you'll just sit there forever.
While I share your opinions re: use of power to protect national currency, I don't see how they apply to this topic.

There's a strong counter argument that examines the history of the Nazi's initial rise to power and points out that they started very small, unfunded, unsupported and were able to gain power shockingly quickly. This is the basis behind Antifa's reasoning and tactics.

I'm not saying I agree with it, but when trying to feel out the contours of an issue like this, it's important to start at the edges.

The issue of when ideology and ideas become actively "harmful" or "dangerous" is an extremely complex one with a ton of grey area. It makes sense to start with the extreme cases where some of that grey area is removed. Those who argue that it makes sense to actively work to silence certain ideas argue it on the basis that those ideas represent a real and present danger to their lives and safety.

This certainly goes for Jewish people, like me, arguing against an ideology that promotes genocide of us based on our heritage -- I'm not even religious nor do I identify that strongly with jewish tradition, but based on the Nazi's accounting I'd have been sent to the concentration camps. People voicing support for those ideas are essentially saying I should be murdered for no good reason.

I hold it's reasonable to feel threatened by that and even to react to that with violence. Though it's not the strategy I adopt or recommend, it's one I feel a reasonable case can be made for.

Move in towards (ever so slightly) greyer cases. Take for instance people of color arguing against ideas that they feel would marginalize them for the color of their skin. What's the history, how much do those ideas represent a clear and present threat to these people's safety? In the case of those arguing in favor of, say, more militarized and aggressive police -- you could make a decent argument that this represents a real and present threat to black people's safety, given the prevalence of police shootings. Similarly, support of more profiling of brown people or requiring papers for immigration status. That represents a certain threat to the safety of perfectly legal brown people in the case that they are profiled and detained because they can't produce their papers.

All I'm saying that this is a huge grey area and that it is important to recognize that some ideas, beliefs, and ideologies are not harmless and do on their own represent varying levels of threat to other people.

Words are not harmless. The pen can be mightier than the sword and it can cut both ways.

As a former amateur Twitch.tv streamer, I've always been fascinated by the rise and fall of internet personalities, and some of the biggest personalities seem to be game developers that found themselves in the spotlight.

Someone made this very in-depth video about the fall from grace of Phil Fish, the creator of Fez: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PmTUW-owa2w It seems to me that the combo of high pressure and a guy with a combative personality combined with internet anonymity to create a really messy situation that drove him out of the business.

I've also followed Narscissa (formerly Cosmo) Wright's fallout in the speedrun community after coming out as transgender. Once one of the most popular streamers on Twitch, I'd imagine transitioning is hard enough, but transitioning in front of a studio audience of anonymous gamers would be next level.

And so the same seems to be with Sean Murray and No Man's Sky. Inexperience plus overpromising and really high expectations created the current situation.

I don't think any of these people are malicious and I don't really know how I would have advised them to do things differently. Edmund McMillen, the creator of Super Meat Boy and other indie games once said in a podcast interview that he hates showing people what he's making before it is done for this very reason.

Edit: I know the circumstances of these people are not identical, I'm just calling for more understanding and empathy instead of assuming the worst in everyone.

It's possible they did.
It's not just an openworld, it's "randomly" generated (from what I understand, the idea was to fix random generator's seed based on space coordinates, so that the same coordinates always produce the same planets). I can get that adding a story of even simple missions could be a challenge when doing so.
I would broadly agree with this approach, but it's important to recognize that many of those advocating the Antifa violent approach take that approach from a considered position having carefully studied the history of the Nazi's rise to power.

We can't just ignore the fact that there is a well reasoned argument there in favor of treating certain ideas and ideology as active violent threats.

It's also a real and present issue to many people in the current climate.

If you want to write a portable makefile, you use a CP variable which is conditionally set depending on what uname says, e.g. cp -r on GNU Linux and whatever it is on Mac OS. But also, copying files around is a bit out of make's scope, as it is a tool for transforming files. Most standard tools that are used in makefiles (sed, awk, m4, c toolchain) have posix interfaces, and other compilers usually don't have incompatible competing implementations. Even if you want to use a certain implementations features, say GNU features of awk, gawk+GNU coreutils are available for all popular systems, as well as bsdutils. Requiring them is better than when every program require its own build system because they are portable and reusable packages.

Sure, but it can be a strategy to reduce taxable income. My point is that people at the top end are highly incentivized to avoid taxes and will find ways to do so. I'm not making any policy prescription, tax policy is hard and I don't claim to know what's optimal or even necessarily better.

That would put your $90/hr contractor at $162K full time salary; and for base, sure. Base-wise, I'd expect a $90/hr contractor to come out closer to $150K if they converted to full time. But bonus and stock often make up another 30% or more in silicon valley, and you don't get that as a contractor.

This was actually the weird part for me, because I did some contracting around here in the aughts, and the pay was slightly better than fte work, but at that point, few of the FTEs I knew had significant bonus or stock grants. (You'd get options, just not RSUs) - as far as I can tell, this change to compensating developers with RSUs and bonuses is something that happened this decade; FTE comp went up dramatically due to bonus/stock, and contractor income remained competitive with base.

Of course, it's way different at smaller companies, or if you have the connections to avoid the body shops at larger companies, but smaller companies usually pay their full timers dramatically less anyhow, and if you have the kinds of connections required to go direct with the big players, being an individual contributor is probably not the highest value use of your time.

And I imagine things are different outside of silicon valley. Things are... very different and weird here.

Edit: oh also, 'similarly skilled' - I'm a contractor now, and yes, I get paid less than the FTEs I work alongside, I mean, I get slightly more than their base, but no bonus or stock. But... I'm also not similarly skilled. The FTEs doing my job are obviously better, at least by the standards by which we are evaluated. I'd give myself a 1 in 10 chance of passing a technical interview for a FTE job at the company where I contract now, and that is, uh, displaying confidence. My point wasn't that things are unfair; I don't think I'm being treated unfairly, aside from a few minor points, but that after the body shop takes a cut, there's just not enough left to pay enough to get people as good as what you get when you hire for the ridiculously well-compensated FTE positions at the larger and more prestigious companies in silicon valley. And the company matters; I interview often and just a few months back turned down a FTE position at a lesser company, for reasons having to do with pay, prestige, and trust.

Even on a flat roof, there is room to add radiator panels without compromising solar space. The solar panels will be tipped up to the south some amount based on their latitude, but you don't want to shade the low end of a panel with the high end of the next one, so there is a gap between rows. A shaded gap. Precisely the best spot to put radiator panels.

You could even imagine a combined product which would be a corrugated panel alternating "uphill" solar and "downhill" radiator segments with the dimensions tailored to the latitude. This could be installed flat on the roof.

I first tried to use Tendermint a year ago and honestly it was rough. Their codebase had very few comments, including things a go linter would harass you endlessly for like function comments, and the docs were barely existent. The codebase was also not exactly what you would call "idiomatic" go.

I checked back in at the Cosmos fundraiser, and then again a few weeks ago and their documentation while still needing work, as well as their code quality is definitely improved. I like their idea and I want the project to succeed, and things like independent third party audits are the way that happens.

Kudos to the team for not being afraid to look for the warts, better to get them now then later.
