You could buy three F-22 Raptors with that kind of money. Well, Congress would never approve the sale, but this painting went for triple the per-copy price of the F-22, according to Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lockheed_Martin_F-22_Raptor

> For someone in that wealth bracket, this is probably a very reasonable diversification + having a significant amount of sentimental value.

I can't even pretend to understand how people in that "wealth bracket" think. Imagine if you knew, or at least knew of, every person in the world with as much or more money than you (i.e. a few hundred). Imagine if you had enough money to ensure that, barring major wars or mistakes, all of your close friends and descendants could live comfortably without ever having to work another day. What would you do with the spare hundreds of millions of dollars? Build space ships? Build islands? Buy paintings? Buy paintings, only to set them on fire to demonstrate your power?

Ask HN: What should an ideal, all-new OS look like?
What would an all-new, best-we-can-do-today OS look like, if we hit restart and didn't have to worry about backwards compatibility to any significant degree? (Yes, I agree that's an extreme hypothetical!)

Would it be all THAT different?

In other words, would such a "best of show" OS (one that's within our technical reach, right now) look much like the incumbents? Would it be more serviceable, do more, or just be somewhat faster, smaller and more reliable? How much easier could it make life for programmers, if at all? Security? Future-proofing? How much economic value could doing such a thing actually add even if you could ignore legacy? (I know, not enough to actually dump legacy, but how much? Enough to make you pay 20% more for a computer, if that were the price you had to pay? 10%?)

Speaking of future-proofing, how likely are AI advances (deep learning) to heavily profit from such a rethink?

I'm hoping to avoid any discussion of why companies haven't done this and almost certainly won't: because I think we all know why such a project might not be profitable or very practical. I still use Qwerty, after all.

I love Rust, but since existing OSes can be rewritten in Rust and that may very well happen, if only a bit at a time; I don't see Rust as a decider, here. Of course, we want Rust, we just don't have to restart to get it.

This query was sparked a bit by this quote from romaniv:
"One would think that in 2017 we would be using an OS that takes the best ideas from Xerox Park/Star, Oberon and Cloud 9. At least on new devices (like tablets) which don't have to keep backward compatibility."

The one piece of advice I can give you is that self doubt is the enemy. Identify a goal, come up with a viable method of acquiring it and then try your hardest. Every time you get overwhelmed give yourself a short break and remember everyone hits these walls, don’t beat yourself up, just keep going.

Best of luck in your journey, wherever it leads!
The resources aren't "code" but people and time. You have a limited set of folks who consistently contribute and become reviewers/committers. This is all based on volunteer time - no one is paying these folks to do it. So, asking these folks to divide their limited volunteered time between multiple versions of python is unfair. I think this is the right decision to take.

If you feel you have "plenty of resources" you can fork the python2 version of numpy and maintain it.

>so it's not too much to ask for a senior dev doing low-level work.

Actually for a senior dev, it is too much to expect low-level work they haven't used in 10 years. The analogy I quite often give is that you wouldn't assess a French teacher on their Latin class from 2005.

The bottom line is that you probably asked a useless question that was great for teaching the CS foundations in school, but that hasn't ever been used once in their careers. People discard useless information, especially smart people because they prize the efficiency that their memory can use in place of useless information.

Re Fuchsia: Google is restarting in one sense, replacing the Linux kernel in Android it would seem, partly in Rust. But they can't really restart, since they can't stray too far from their libraries and huge app pile. Is that something that eats at those programmers, or is it really not a big deal to forgo pure freedom to invent, since we've gotten it mostly right by now, anyway?

My strong impression of Redox was that it sticks very close to Unix principles (and libraries) and was not a clean restart. But I may very well not understand all that one can do if you are writing in Rust from the start.

Good points. I think the blog post would have benefited from a definition of the "education product" the author has in mind, because otherwise it remains a little vague.

I can think of at least a dozen educational services and products and it's possible/likely the optimal growth strategy would be different for each of these. For example, tutoring service (in person or remote), learning web application, learning mobile app, classic content products (print textbook, digital textbook, recorded video lessons), new-media content products (e.g. new apps or learning modality), etc. Then there is the whole "credentialing" aspect, which we all hope will go away but currently it's still a very important: people are easily impressed by big-name universities, and three-letter degree acronyms.

The "edtech space" is very interesting. The OP is totally right that it's not obvious how to make money given that neither schools nor students have money... (Sure there are rich kids and motivated parents who can pay and they will enjoy the value, but it's a very ugly thing to deny access to knowledge to someone behind a paywall/subscription just because they can't pull out a credit card and follow the funnel.)

In addition to the traditional for-profit startup model, there are big developments in the ed-tech sector by non-profits like Khan Academy. Some of the best learning UX/UI and content to come out in last decade is from KA. More generally, the open educational resources (OERs) are starting to be a thing now... there lots of good open content and there is potential for companies to be "service providers" on top of the vast sea of "commons." Open source gave us an interesting last two decades. Now imagine what will happen when open content becomes mainstream too?

On the other hand being too open with the content and starting with a "yes take it all for free" strategy is a sure way to end up out of runway. How many non-profit projects shut down because of lack of funding. Aren't there always strings attached when receiving funding from governments, NGOs, and philanthropists. What if they change their mind next year? Or two years form now? There is something beautiful and robust about a self-sustaining project like a for-profit startup. I know teacherspayteachers and other for-profit projects that are doing very well. Definitely something to learn there.

It all depends on what you want to optimize for, but the fundamental algorithm in the edtech space remains the same as in all other spaces: deliver more value than you capture and be in the right place to ride the wave up.
Very little new stuff is being developed in Perl, period. I don't know anyone working in Perl who is not maintaining existing codebases. I haven't heard Perl proposed for anything new in over a decade. That further reduces the motivation to move to Perl 6.
Every time I see one of these "code together in real time" announcements I remember SubEthaEdit, which did this flawlessly 14 years ago, and released the collab part as a library that other apps can use: Coda uses (or at least used, I haven't used Coda in years) it and is/was compatible for sharing.

"once you understand the difference between Unicode and UTF-8" is what's difficult about Unicode in Python 2. I understand it, you might understand it, but I have to interop w/ and work w/ code written by people who do not. I'm not fool-proof either, so I greatly appreciate that the language makes a hard distinction now; doing the right thing by default is the point.

That was part of Sun's "people pay more attention to the first number" reversioning. Solaris 2.6 was followed by Solaris 7.

This was partly because of the competitors (e.g. IRIX) were raving the first digit with each major version. When Solaris was version 2.6, IRIX was version 6.

As I recall it, Management had less confidence with things called "1.X" or "2.X" than things called "5.Y". So, Sun went through and started dropping the small leading digit from the versions of their products.
A main issue of leaving these things to market is capital accumulates and centralises. We see this today with the ongoing mega merges and in days of old where (in many countries) a handful of people owned all land. Whether or not you care about this is your political ideology but this is the long term history and likely future of unregulated markets.

I think your comment misses the paper's point. You're talking about the motivations of individual posters working within an incentive system created by the Chinese government. The paper isn't concerned with such individual motivations, but instead with the motivations of the Chinese government in creating that system.
Arguably that works better as an indicator, as you can see which packages are being actively developed with. But that's beside the point.

Are you suggesting that Mozilla's CI system runs so often as to artificially inflate the download numbers of their internal only packages to the top 200 Python packages? Because if so, then my point still stands. Either Mozilla is a lot bigger than I thought or the Python community is a lot smaller than I thought.

I also am of the belief that if any team would think to cache their dependencies, it would be the team behind a modern browser.

If a manufacturer engages in fraud and is caught, they would (a) be subject to criminal penalties for insurance fraud and (b) it would become very difficult or expensive for them to acquire insurance in the future. These two negative consequences serve as a strong deterrence against fraud.
Hm very interesting. But to play devil's advocate, what's wrong with the Java approach or the v8 approach? Is it just that they are suboptimal in terms of efficiency, or is there something that SDE can accomplish that they can't?

The Java approach is to do parsing, semantic analysis, and compilation to bytecode on one side of the network. Then JIT compilation is done on the other side.

The v8 / "modern JS" approach is to do gzip compression of source code on one side of the network. Then decompression, lazily parse, and lazily generate native code on the other side.

Now I recently look at v8's parser, and it's fiendishly complex [1] and somewhere north of 20K lines of code -- and yes that's just the parser.

So there are downsides. SDE might be more elegant and efficient overall (?) But when you are dealing with networked code, you can't change both sides of the wire at once. So we are sort of stuck with suboptimal interfaces and brute force on both sides.

That said, I do think there is a good argument to be made for shipping plain text source code and using brute force to make parsing and analysis in the browser fast. (That is, writing ridiculous amounts of hand-tuned C++ code.)

What are examples of those 4bn+ stores of value then? I was thinking of something that can be easily moved around - e.g. 400M in gold is 10 tonnes. Not super handy. Stocks, currencies, real estate - those are cases when you trust somebody else to take care of storing your value, most often the gov. Not trying to make an argument for my example here, just sincerely curious what those stable store of value can be.

+1 - having session recordings is a HUGE win to help track down hard-to-reproduce bugs. You can get the strangest bug reports, and by watching the session, as a dev, you can instantly translate it into the technical terms that the end user lacked and you can fix the problem.

It's also great for ad-hoc usability testing to see how people are using your features, where they slow down to read, what elements they try to click on but can't, and other UX improvements that you'd pay consultants six figures to put in a report for you.
I think the bottom line for a language is to be successful not whether or not the founder has whatever acreditation someone worships.

Dart seems to be used pretty much only by Google with few exceptions. I'm not saying it's a bad language but it's just not successful.
I believe popularity is important because a death language doesn't solve problems. Engineering is about solving problems anyway not about developing the most complex/expressive language.

As far as Go design is concerned I believe that someone who designed few programming languages can be called a "pro" even if he doesn't agree with the mainstream opinion about what makes a good design. Simplicity is underestimated.

> The average, middle class person thinks about education as an expenditure, not an investment.

The way I remember it, middle class folks in Kansas City suburbs really, really care about the quality of their schools and levy property and sales taxes to fund it. Rural Ohio townships where dual earners are making 17k less than the national median for such households may not have a lot of middle class to speak of.

Cost and outcomes have always been a tradeoff. 1:1 tutoring is the gold standard for educational outcomes. We know that from there, outcomes fall as teacher:student ratios rise. This fundamentally puts a cap on returns to improved quality -- if your improved school outcome is comparable to adding one additional teacher per grade level, well, you better be cheaper than those teacher's salaries. And good luck finding that data in the first place. It's not easy to convince folks to run the experimental treatment on their children to get that data.
The article correctly identifies consumer-facing education businesses as being incredibly difficult. I used to work in education and Chegg is the only consumer-facing company I can think of in the industry. Most other education companies have either sold or partnered with schools (Neverware, Clever, Jamf, etc). One of the interesting things with the market is that it's difficult to start penetrating districts since school budgets can vary year to year AND because many purchases have to be approved by school boards. But as soon as you're in, you essentially have a monopoly for a number of years. It's enterprise sales without the immediate huge money payoff. That said, there's a lot of money out there in education

It depends what you're using it for. Certainly it wouldn't make sense to use it for web stuff. However I use perl exclusively for server-side "shell" scripting, and it excels at that. More powerful than bash, less compatibility worries than python (I've had issues even between 2.* versions). If I have perl5.* on a server my scripts work everywhere. I regularly start new server-side scripting projects using perl, including a recent webpage-to-video conversion batch script. To be honest there is no other platform that I would even consider using for this kind of thing. Is there even anything that comes close to perl's cross-platform, rapid development, stability and general compatibility?
