DOSBox is a better option, if you have any interest in playing really old DOS games (Captain Comic, Commander Keen, Descent, etc) on a modern system. As far as running FreeDOS...it's a cool exercise in preserving compatibility for historical systems, but for the average PC enthusiast....doesn't offer much beyond that.

It makes you wonder, what the heck _are_ they doing with their time?

Well, playing video games, using their phones, and feeling lonely: https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2018/10/01/loneliness-felt-...

As well as reporting more depression and anxiety, and committing suicide in record numbers: http://theconversation.com/the-mental-health-crisis-among-am...

Is it as simple as "phone bad, sunshine good?" No probably not, but there are studies out there linking social media to depression, and many studies linking loneliness to poor mental health.

Wait...I have a legitimate question (was about to post some snarky comment but now I'm wondering).

WHY did you need DOS??? Use an XP VM? Some sort of Linux emulator? Flashing the firmware on a device manufactured long after the existence of DOS had been forgotten for most major hardware producers...

so many questions!

Open Source Processors: Fact or Fiction
they're not a lot less expensive by the time you have an equivalent system.

The SG-1100 is based on the v7 espresso.bin board. a 2G version of that is $99 by the time you have case, heat-sink, eMMC and power supply. We sell them for $159.

A 2G RPi 4 with case, heatsink, and power supply is $76.30. You have WiFi, but no second (or third0 Ethernet.

Also, someone has to pay the developers, right?
I don't see what point you're trying to make? Microsoft continues to protect all their commercial products with DRM. They clearly see value in doing that.
It is interesting how they talk about HR.

In my experience HR organizations are mostly there as a sort of risk management for the company, everything / anything else tends to feel like just sort of HR resume fodder / token programs / company cheerleading.

I think literally everyone has a problem with airplanes falling out of the sky. Anyone saying otherwise is perhaps a comedian. So I still have to insist you work harder to refine your complaint. The complaint is legitimate, but it's also ordinary. To contribute to the conversation you have to bring something a little bit more than just the ordinary.

Indeed, it might very well be questionable that the 757 and 767 have the same type rating. But then, even though they have the same type rating they do still have difference training. Is iPad difference training really adequate? Who evaluated this? Were there contrary opinions?

You'd have to re-purpose something like a deep mining shaft from a diamond mine, then stick a giant rail gun in it, almost like Germany's V-3 cannon[1] but on steroids.

A pain yes, but very easily recycled. The components of a lead acid battery are easily separated and each have a ready market to recycle them. Lithium ion batteries are complicated. No two models are identical. Many models change internally from year to year, change enough to frustrate recycling efforts. Their components are tightly layered and not readily separated mechanical. They may be better batteries but they are not necessarily better lifecycle components within a fleet of vehicles. That's why forklifts, golf carts, boats and cars are still being sold with lead acids.

This meme gets repeated on HN quite frequently but a good HR department can help a lot with engagement across the company. Sure, they can't solve specific team problems but if they work as a channel for employees to be heard and upper management trusts them, they can be a positive force.

Kickstarter a replacement board?
In the 1990 or so time frame, the IBM Palo Alto Research Center forked a version of mainframe Unix and made it multiprocessing. They referred to it as PAIX, though I think it sank into irrelevance and was never released as a product. I was adding async I/O capabilities, the better to match the latent bandwidth of the mainframe I/O channel processors. My PAIX instance was running in a VM partition, while the rest of the machine served hundreds of other users. While debugging my kernel additions in PAIX, I would once in a while crash the entire machine. So much for the vaunted rock solid reliability of mainframes.
AWS already had a web based shell via SSM. This allows native SSH connections using credentials tied to AWS IAM users.
I would assume...(guess?) that FreeDOS will continue to exist in VM's to support extremely old industrial control systems (for example, one of the major dairy plants in my hometown of Phoenix, which still uses [last I checked, 2016] software running in a VM on actual DOS). Beyond that however, maybe outside of educational scenarios, I can't see it sticking around much longer as the move to pure EFI continues full steam.
Google Compute Engine has had this functionality for years (at least the browser based SSH). Furthermore, Google's free Cloud Shell feature is fantastic.

Over the years, AWS has put their focus entirely on "Enterprise" customer functionality as opposed to "developer friendly" capabilities.

I think the bigger outcry than the DVD was the removal of the Ethernet port. (Which was also overblown).
Funny, because I been kicking around an idea to remove pointers entirely form a language, the compiler and the implementation. Maybe even the ISA. So heavy, literal, concrete, absolute. Pointers do not go with the flow.

Pointers are a junk-food abstraction that needs to go away.
Right. And with open source software decades old programs can be compiled without issues too using last known good compilers, toolchains, libraries, preserving all the old bugs and vulnerabilities, just like on mainframes, but for free.

So everything he misses is there. It's just that running legacy code is too risky these days unless you are completely isolated from the internet. And modern infrastructure has a lot more essential complexity.
I often see folks say that schools should teach finance management from a young age.

Well, they also ought to teach time management, emotion management, energy management, people management.

It's just a basic life skill, keeping things in balance. Extremeness in an area can often be disastrous, it might also come with high reward, but very few people know how to be highly engaged and yet sort of keep other parts of their life balanced.
To be clear: I'm talking about people who seem to live in Austin, the vast majority of which don't have any connection to farms. I'm not saying that grille guards have no legitimate purpose or that they won't protect your vehicle. I'm saying that they make the roads more dangerous for others and aren't necessary for the majority of people who buy them. Note the difference between necessary and helpful. Grille guards might help protect your vehicle but I don't think most would say they are necessary.

Anyway, I grew up in a rural area (outside of Texas) where grille guards could be useful. Didn't see many grille guards back there. I even (briefly) worked at a farm before, literally shoveling manure.

I have a different take. How can he on the one hand say he’s supernatural but on the other imply he’s quite replaceable (but Apple’s mistake is not replacing him).

I don’t get the abnormal bashing _now_. He’s had some mild criticism before but now suddenly there have been intractable issues since Jobs died. It comes across as opportunistic and makes me doubt him.
The interests of HR are opposed to the interest of the worker 9 times out of 10. There is no way to reconcile this fact.
This was a wonderful read.

This article plus some of the comments here make me think of the best homeless meal service in San Diego when I was homeless there. My old homeless blog simply lists them as The Vegans and I think that's how they self identified. My impression was they were some kind of church group, but unlike most church-affiliated homeless services, they never identified their organization that I know of.

They served a meal once a week. It was all vegetarian and it was hands down the best free meal I had as a homeless person. They also let you take a couple of sack lunches with vegetarian sandwiches, like peanut butter, plus snacks.

Many free meals involve listening to a sermon. A lot of organizations treat homeless people pretty bad while supposedly trying to help them.

There was none of the usual crap with this group. They also gave away free clothes or blankets or whatever they had.

I wish far more homeless services met a similar standard.

There should be at least basic formatting filter that would block 1 MB comments or clearly non human written comments. This won't stop the spammers, of course. It should be time consuming to create a user id. It should be anonymous, but it should take a few minutes of your time (not your CPU time) to generate a valid user id. once this is done, it'll be easy to spot one spammer's comment, find all others (since comments are signed with ed25519) and dump them all. The spammers then won't be able to delegate the work to scripts.
They accept less pay for the same work. Did you not read my comment?

I am having a hard time believing that you did not know this fact before our exchange.
Maybe I should rephrase and emphasize that I think this is interesting not necessarily immediately practical. From what I understand about rail guns, they're not even practical yet to deploy for military ground to ground purposes, let alone to get things into space.

I think I'm taking a lot of liberties to imagine a future where we figure out a ton of challenges to get all the engineering to match the theory of making this happen. And in general, I believe we should take an optimistic approach to the future, given that getting humans into space in scale would be a marvelous accomplishment for the human race.
Yeah i often look at my iphone SE and think it really needs some character.

To be fair, I think it can be difficult to appreciate how it sounds if you aren't LGBT. If you're straight, you haven't been exposed to being demoralized because of your sexual orientation.

I understand the perfectly valid scientific use of it-- I'm just saying that sometimes people weaponize it. When you come across anti-gay rhetoric, it almost never uses the word 'gay'. It has phrases like "the homosexual agenda". The wording is specifically chosen to imply the group is lesser than others.

Can you disclose which textbook it was? I'm curious. Was it a good textbook?

The textbook market is a predatory scheme to fleece money out of students who are usually pretty close to broke, by making the books more important even than healthy food.

Not releasing a new edition every few years would have the same effect as "piracy", once the used market is large enough to supply each new class.

Professors and professionals who write textbooks should treat them as a marketing and career advancement exercise. Write a good book, get noticed by tenure committees or potential consulting clients. Most people who write books like that already have relatively secure jobs, and the book, if it's not awful, improves their career trajectory even more. It builds their reputation or brand.

It's tough to side with them over broke college students slavishly scanning thousand-page textbooks while eating ramen.
That and software can be easily decompiled. It's not that hard if you really want to know how something works. I learnt enough asm to modify a modern app that was essential to my work flow but had been abandoned by the developers. It didn't take me that long to learn.

A nation state can easily do it if they want. The US govt (NSA) has even devloped a reverse engineering tool and open sourced it.

I'm not sure I understand the distinction you're trying to make. Most (reasonably practical) religions do not expect everyone to become a hermit. The notion that Eastern Orthodoxy is some kind of super-worldly religion of communing with a tub of ice cream just doesn't strike me as very accurate at all.

Hmmm, the way to be convicted of this crime is not to commit it and be caught, because that shit ain't gonna happen. The way to be convicted is to make a permanent record claiming you've committed the crime, and then have the misfortune that a federal prosecutor discovers that record. What tiny percentage of these crimes are ever prosecuted? Wouldn't we expect prosecutors' discretion to be the only thing that could matter? Do we really need such arbitrary and thus unjust laws?
I don't disagree, at 100,000 feet all weapons are mass gets propelled by force, where I part ways with you is here:

"A rail gun isn't much different"

While I completely agree that in concept rail gun isn't different, making one is extremely different. That is why I would have little trouble making a bow and arrow over the weekend that would serve as a respectable weapon[1], but I would not be able to create a similarly lethal rail gun[2]. Reducing the theory to practice is neither straight forward nor obvious. People have been trying to build them for 100 years after all and we're only now seeing some that come close to being competitive with other weapon systems.

What I'm saying is that your "overhead in terms of gear to make it work" covers for a whole crapload of technology and engineering.

What I hear when you dismiss this technology is a lack of appreciation for what is involved, it sounds to me like someone saying "Making an atom bomb is pretty simple right, simply hold a super-critical mass of fissile material really tightly until you've achieved the desired number of fission events. Right?" But you can't pick up two 4 lb pieces of plutonium and bang them together like a couple of rocks and expect to get a bomb event (although you will die). There is nothing "simple" about it, even if the concept is easy to express.

[1] In part because we learned how to make bows in Boy Scouts and I spent a summer doing a survival course where I had the opportunity to build one for my final.

[2] Even though I'm a classically trained EE, understand the theory, have experience in switching fairly high currents from my Battlebot experiences and a fairly complete EE lab at my disposal.

I think there should be many data servers with different rules. Some will blindly accept and serve any comments. Some will have mods and a buffer of comments waiting for review. Some will review only those comments that are flagged by their scripts. All these data servers should form a well connected network and exchange with comments. What's the incentive to exchange with comments? If a greedy data server refuses to give comments, others will block it. And users will be able to have multiple data sources, if (when) one big data server tries to use its monopoly power.
As an addendum:

The Royal Navy had a long and well-established tradition of exceptionally well-drilled gun crews, probably going back almost 150 years from WWI through the Napoleonic era. It could be argued that their fast-firing and disciplined gunnery were decisive in more than one British victory.

HOWEVER....as you point out this led to objectively-suicidal practices....What's that term for when you've been doing a risky job for so long you don't realize how dangerous your habits are? Yeah Royal Navy gunnery is a textbook example of that.
Is it $5 or $15? What if we have a target audience like healthcare? Or is this purely an aesthetics feedback on products?
> USB-C is baffling. Suppose you buy into the dream of one cable type for everything.

I may be mistaken but I think that was the original USB dream as well. It's been a source of immense irritation to me at times over the years to find that I don't have quite the right mini/micro/whatever[1] USB cable to hand to connect whatever device I happen to have with me. USB-C just adds to what is already a mess of a situation as far as I can see.

[1] Don't get me started with cables that have USB-A on one end and some proprietary connector on the other: I'm looking at YOU, Garmin, with the stupid cables for your Fenix line of watches (which aren't great, btw: learn from my mistake and don't buy one), and YOU, Nintendo, for the daft 3DS charger socket that would have been just fine if it were a micro-USB socket.
Kind of ethically dubious to this type of work. There is moral outrage when Google tries to do military contracting, but none against when federal government doing this type of extra-legal actions.

This isn't solely a mainframe thing. The pty/tty designation for terminals on Linux is a reference to when the computer had no display, but output to a typewriter (to give one such example).
The regenerative braking system is not complicated at all. In fact, it comes basically for free!

All that happens is you cut power to the motor but leave the wheels attached to the motor. This is the same as "engine braking" on a manual. The wheels turn the motor, which steals kinetic energy from the car and charges the battery.

There's no extra bits or anything. It's all in the drivetrain that's there already.

The computer fits in my bag, even with my reading glasses. I can carry it a long time without my shoulder getting sore, which means I can use it all day on the go. Another poster mentioned that 32 gig of ram is impossible because the thin design needs lower power requirements. This actually tends to mean that you have more battery time (which is paradoxical, really).

I don't have a mac (or even want one), but I've benefitted from the trickle down effect where Toshiba seems to want to close ridiculously thin, long battery lasting macs.
