Plan 9 as a whole is a pretty good IDE for general development - excels at C, shell scripts, Go, and similar. Having been created explicitly to OS differs from older (POSIX/VMS era) OSes by making GUI, architecture portability, namespaces, user-level filesystems, software services, network transparency and distributed computing first-order concerns.

For those unable to switch outright, I wholeheartedly recommend plan9port[0] - an almost complete set of utilities and protocols from Plan 9, ported to run in Linux, MacOS X, and OpenBSD userspace. It's being actively developed[1] by the 9fans community.

plan9port comes with both sam and acme[2] programmers' text editors.

You can be competitive and still have fun.

In my sport, I train and enjoy competing as hard as I can.

I find the highs I enjoy from winning over a player who is a similar or higher skill level than me outweighs the disappointment of losing to someone I shouldn't. And it seems the better I get, the less often I seem to lose to people that I shouldn't. I enjoy seeing that progress and enjoy competing against better players.

I've lost close matches and still enjoyed every second too.

What's rent like in those places? I'm having a hard time wrapping my head around thinking how devs get by on so little.
The "natural law" argument can be demonstrated in a couple of stories. Years ago there was a very strong copyright on sheet music in the US. (1800s some time) And sheet music was kept very secure. But then competing composers/musicians hired people that could hear the music and write down the sheet music from memory.

(ie, simply expressing or performing an idea and having other people experience it means it can be copied.)

There was another copyright battle in the early US over fonts. To this day you can copy any font Adobe or anyone else makes, because you can't copyright the alphabet. You can only copyright the code that makes the font. You can make identical fonts for every Adobe font legally, and they can look identical as long as your underlying font code is different. Consider the laws on fonts before there was "code" to display a font?

There's stories about coat buttons and other odds things as well. Laurence Lessig gave a talk on the history of copyright a long time ago that is incredibly insightful on this topic. (I can't find that exact talk on Youtube any more) But one point that was interesting is that without copyright laws, originally nothing was copyrighted, but today it's believed/taught that everything is.

Edit: I appreciate your willingness to look into this topic, and I feel I may have come across harshly in my first reply to you. I hope you didn't take it to badly. I am trying to tone down my internet voice.

I don't have anywhere close to enough information to know what the actual yield numbers being experienced by AMD's products vs Intel's (you can probably count on 1 hand the number of people who know such things). For sure its much harder to make a perfect large die, which is part of why most of the 7nm parts are so small (or experiencing really low yields). But its so completely different. Intel is on a very mature process with a larger feature size, and so much of their large die chips _ARE_ consumed by things that can be disabled (cache slices, cores, etc) that the probability of landing on some critical portion of the die that completely junks it are probably fairly low or we would be seeing a glut in the lower core count parts too and intel doesn't really seem to be having a problem sourcing the upper mid range xeon parts.

Bottom line, I don't believe that intels product lines prices in any way reflect what the actual yield curves are.

True value was probably the wrong phrasing here. More accurate would be “relative value”; The value you as an employee bring in vs your cost. Employers are arbitraging between these values to generate a profit. Businesses have to make more money than they pay their employees.

This particular phrasing just happened to strike a chord for me. It’s likely Marxism 101 but I’m not well versed on economics.
There's a clone of notepad++ that works on Linux, called notepadqq.

Here's the way I understand it:

1. The model says there exists some true value of a parameter, say, how much more likely you are to get cancer if you use hair dye.

2. You run an experiment with two groups, hair dye, and no hair dye.

3. If you were to run this experiment 100 times, you would expect that 5 of those times, the true value wouldn't be within the confidence interval, and 95 times, it would be.

This type of analysis doesn't tell what you really want to know: how likely is it that hair dye causes cancer. What you do know is that you should expect that if you run a bunch of experiments, you should expect 5% of your 95% confidence intervals to be "wrong."

To have a degree of belief in something, you need a prior. If I run a hazard ratio analysis for skydiving without a parachute, and the 95% CI includes a hazard ratio of 1.0, I'm still not going to believe that this is a safe activity. If I run it on drinking a glass of water, and the 95% CI doesn't include 1.0, I'm still going to believe that drinking a glass of water is safe.
Seems like they realized Stadia isn't gonna work unless they build up the infrastructure they laid down and then forgot about.
Right. And those feedback loops do very much exist -- you can find plenty of women sharing their experiences of what it feels like to be the only woman in a room full of men. Over and over again. Being an "only" is rough. I'd imagine that going from 2 to 3 in a group is a much, much smaller change.

It also means that success often requires acting like a man, even when that is neither natural nor optimal for the situation. That's one reason why more than minimal diversity helps -- if there is a benefit to be had from diversity, you may not get it from having an "only" who is pressured to fit in.

Actually I was just answering the "parsers for what" question.

FWIW, I think LangSec is saying "Code that doesn't have remote code execution vulnerabilities[0], or limits them to a weak computational model[1], is better than code with RCE vulnerabilities." - which is also "Well, no shit." - and "Parsing a nontrivial data format is the same thing as executing a (not-necessarily-)very constrained programing language."[2] - which seems obvious to me, but could plausibly be a "superpositions don't collapse"-level epiphany for someone who doesn't think about parsing the right way.

That this is the top story on HN currently is one of those things that makes me think I should just stop looking at HN. Look, if you want to use Plan 9, go nuts. Follow your bliss. I guess. But the slice of humanity that finds this to be an appealing option is such a sliver of a sliver of a sliver of the total. How is this relevant to any vaguely reasonable person's life? Why would anyone upvote this Quixotic nonsense? Plan 9 may the be operating system analog of pumpkin pie, but what could it possibly matter given that it has zero ecosystem and zero uptake? Jeezum frigging crow. Give it up. It's dead.

Although I guess one nice thing is that is puts in perspective the fact that stories about tiled window managers and/or Arch Linux and/or God knows what else are always showing up on HN. Kind of like when you see someone, who you can never understand what the hell they're jabbering about, give a talk about something you already know, and you realize that there's no way in hell you would have understood the topic based on what just came out of their mouth. Which is clarifying, because it reveals that they just suck at explaining things, and it's not just that you yourself are a dumbass.

Last I checked, it does far more than just connect to the machine over SSH. It pushes up a nodejs executable and then also pulls down other stuff from the web. And it will also leave an agent running on the host you ssh into, even after you exit vscode.

I can see this being okayish when logging into a dev EC2 instance or something ephemeral but it's not something I would ever want to do on something important.
Plan 9's Acme (a GUI editor similar to sam) is just fine when ran over LAN - no felt lag at all. Not sure how well it handles modern-day internet, but quite possibly would be practical.

And yes, it uses mouse-based select/cut/copy/paste, with line- and block- level operations.

I can’t imagine why anyone would want to be hitting up Getty for anything

I run a local sports blog covering a pair of National Football League and Major League Baseball teams. If I want high res, quality photos of the most recent games or photos of specific players or photo highlights I really don’t know of or have any alternatives other than Getty and the AP to get pictures specific to my teams.

Steph Curry probably enjoys just being on a basketball court, even playing against people of much lower skill level. No reason he can't still work on perfecting his jumpshot for himself, even if it's only me guarding him. Lots of people practice shots by themselves.

I'm speculating here, but I think people who don't enjoy it on some level usually don't make it to that highest level in sport. Every top-level sportsman I can think of looks like they enjoy it.
I think you said one good thing (the mouse is a problem) and one bad thing (the accusation of elitism)

The people who did plan9 did not do this, to support other people. It was a self-supporting community. If that imposes barriers which make it hard for others, its not elitism in the sense I understand it, because the barrier is functional not based on any other entry score, such as 'who you know' or 'what school you went to' -You just have to make a matching investment, to their investment.

I have a lot of respect for these people. I have never interacted directly with them beyond the tokenistic, despite my obscurity no mail of substance I have sent to them in times past was ignored, and if the answer didn't satisfy it was usually because I (like you) assumed they had acquired obligations and burdens facing me, regarding this code.

They're not looking for happiness in your use of this code, or your non-use of this code. They're looking for higher functional outcomes from things proved in this code which now filter out in other ways.

This is exactly what I want to see on HN. Exactly because I will never use Plan 9. It makes me happy to know that someone, somewhere, is using it. Providing an existence proof that even something this unwieldy and obscure is for one glorious moment useful in 2019.
You raise a good point. The thing to realize is that the incoming packet data, like all data, is code. "Code written for which machine?" you might ask. Well, think of that data as code that is executed by the parser. If you think of the parser as the machine (yes, it is weird), then it becomes easier to see how the adversary tries to program it using data as code. Just like we advise people never to eval() untrusted data, the LangSec response is not just to validate user input, but to constrain the programmability of the machine. By lowering its ability to compute, you are effectively lowering the privilege given to the adversary. So, the LangSec answer would be to design the protocol so as to not require a parser that can become so easily confused by conflicting information. Hope that helps. FWIW, I think you raise a great point about the ease of use and practical utility of LangSec, and agree that its potential is thus capped.
This is the kind of content that would be #1 years ago before HN became about regurgitating news about acquisitions in Silicon Valley. Remember that it's Hacker News you're reading. I welcome a return to those days.
Ever heard of retguard? This is not an exploiting bug, this is a parsing bug. It could happen with Rust too.
That was fine and dandy in the early-2000's when Moore's Law was still in full swing. Chip makers aren't practically guaranteed a compelling speed and efficiency boost just because a year or two have passed since the last gen, where it was a no-brainer to toss in 64 bitness since process improvements would gloss over any deficiencies or regressions.
Its at the top of HN because its geeky and fun. For some of us this stuff is a hobby just as much as its a career.
Yes! I was waiting for a reference to Alec's channel. So good!
Winning is not the only motivation though.

If I was playing against Steph Curry, I would try to come up with achievable goals, such as trying to defend well enough to force him to take a jumpshot instead of a layup, trying to make one of my own shots, trying to get him to fall for a pump-fake, trying to get a steal, trying not to fall over, etc.

Winning may not be, but there's always an achievable goal you can strive for.

You do need to be careful with requirements before choosing this tight binding. If you want single source, that's a great idea. If you need single source for mobile web + mobile app, you will be duplicating code. There are other reasons for API and business logic remaining server side.

I agree. Program execution is rarely linear too in a codebase of any real size, so viewing the source of a program as a linear page of text doesn't make much sense.

I think there's an opportunity for a big player in the dev tools space to create a mainstream visual programming language and associated tooling. Many are trying, like Luna (https://github.com/luna/luna-studio) and Dark (https://darklang.com/) but I'm worried they're not established enough to gain traction.

Unfortunately programming with a text editor has become so mainstream that investing time in learning potentially better tools nets a lot of friction and not to much gain.

I don't have to use plan9 to value what the 9fans did.

I don't have to use plan9 to secure the benefit of exploring models of software, systems, networks which plan9 explored.

I think that you have to swim very strongly across some currents, to decide to "be" in plan9, but its no different in that sense to choosing to live behind a Nokia brick phone, or only using pen and paper in meetings. Others may work effectively in their kanban on a laptop, but the decision to stop using the parts of your brain which type, and instead use the parts of your brain which shape semantic intent, by writing, is quite large.

And in that sense, deciding to use plan9, or even just a tiling window manager, or to disable image load in web by default, or to use Markdown or Org mode to do thing instead of reaching for some packaged electron app, or to focus on GO or Haskell or whatever the thing is, which forces you to think about what you are doing in code, That decision may be swimming against the stream, but its big.

Plan9 is big. Its not for everyone, and I decided not to invest because it had moving parts I didn't feel confident I understood and at the time I looked at it, was wedded to multiple independent instances of boxes I didn't own.

Now, it is probably entirely possible inside containers or VMs or something, but I am content to know I could.
