Using diplomacy and business is good because it leads to LESS DEATH. And anyone can use it. Especially Moscow which had a ton of influence in post soviet space. It was free to be nice and negotiate with Ukraine and get policies good for both but it decided it's beneath it.

It's a choice not a "need". It's a revealing choice. Implying Russia "needed" to annex a country is very revealing too. Like if they don't have enough land and or resources already. You know how sparsely populated it is?
Maybe all of these companies know something you don’t know?

For every WhatsApp that you cite used their own infrastructure, I can site companies like Netflix and Apple that decided to use the public cloud and AWS in particular

> Programmers have just lost all of their sysadmin skills these days and will use everything to justify the need for these insane , low performance abstraction abomination that Netifly, AWS RDS, AWS RedisCache, AWS TimeseriesDB, etc are.

Does it add business value as programmers to spend time babysitting infrastructure? Does it “make the beer taste better”? Does it help to move faster? I can set up an entire highly available data center with all of these services you mentioned with a few lines of yaml/HCL.

Interestingly, vertebrate palaeontology switched to clade-based taxonomy a while ago (although genus and species cling on). Wikipedia tries to attach ranks to the clades of extinct animals such as dinosaurs, which have no basis in the scientific literature to normalise them with the taxonomy of extant animals.

Palaeontology make the notion of species kinda silly, as all organisms can be followed as a smooth grade all the way to the origin of life.
With reproducible build you know that what you test on your dev laptop is the same as what will go out from your CI, and if hash mismatch you can chase why. For a concrete exemple, Mellanox driver configure script will auto detect if it's running under docker and change a compile flags, so if you build in a container using podman you get a different result.
The article isn’t very clear on technical details, or in what way Colossus was “first”. The wikipedia article is though:

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colossus_computer

I think the main innovation was the use of valves (similar to tube logic), while other machines of the day used relay logic.

This thing wasn’t really a computer though, in that it was not turing complete, since there wasn’t any support for branching or programmatic examination of its output.

Instead, the operators would tell it what to run, look at the result, then manually apply a flowchart to decide what operation to take next.

These first turing complete machine that “worked” was probably the Z3 from 1941. It was electromechanical and ran at one hz (vs the colossus which ran at 5000hz starting in 1942).

It’s unclear to me if the z1 or z2 were turing complete or not. The z1 supported floating point(!)

This article gives an overview of more machines, and links to articles about most of them:

Linux won in large part because it was in the right place, at the right time: freely available, and rapidly improving in functionality and utility, and it ran on hardware people had access to at home.

BSD was mired in legal issues, the commercial Unix vendors were by and large determined to stay proprietary (only Solaris made a go of this and by that time it was years too late), and things like Hurd were bogged down in second-system perfectionism.

Had Linux started, maybe, 9 months later BSD may have won instead. Had Larry McVoy's "sourceware" proposal for SunOS been adopted by Sun, perhaps it would have won out. Of course, all of this is impossible to predict. But, by the time BSD (for example) was out of the lawsuit woods, Linux had gained a foothold and the adoption gap was impossible to overcome.

At the end of the day, I think technical details had very little to do with it.

It's not though. He was already invested, Trump attempts to close the de minimis exemptions, Trump walks back closing the exemptions.

If he'd invested just before the walk back occurred that could have been insider trading but he appears to have had this investment for a while. What it demonstrates instead is that Trump's foreign policy is, potentially, beholden to the investments of his staff. Which might be worse. I'd rather someone make a few million on insider trading than have us flip-flop on policy decisions because someone happened to be invested in an impacted company.

> businesses like Apple are completely staked on privacy

This is completely false. It has been shown time and time again that Apple will bend to whatever data requests the US government ask for.

You may think they care about your privacy, because they tell you they do. But they are legally bound to say that. Every surveilance program they have ever been part of has had a legal requirement to lie publicly about its existance. Then when it becomes public through a leak, they are able to say 'Sorry we lied, we had to by law'.

Heres just one example:

"parity" is the keyword here. Most of the time, the problem doesn't come from sloppy execution, but ever widening scope of the software.

For example, my own "Almost C" compiler[1] is 1137 lines of code. 1137! Can it ever reach "parity" with gcc or even tcc? No! That's specifically not the goal.

Do I benefit strongly for having a otherworldly simpler toolchain? hell yeah.

The key is scope, as always. Established projects have, by virtue of being community projects, too wide a scope.

Just being able to deny network access would be a great step.
This is an interesting approach.

However the task used as an example just shows how provisionning SSH keys was insecure at that company. In fact the user should generate his private key by himself and just provide the public key to the sysadmin to inject it in the system to grant access. AT NO POINT THE SYSDAMIN SHOULD HAVE A COPY OF THE PRIVATE KEY, even temporary. So the 1Password step shouldn't even be necessary.

By the way, I'm the author of github-keygen, a tool to automate the creation of SSH keys dedicated to GitHub access, and to setup SSH settings for that context.

> but to me the amount of work involved outweighs the benefit

I don’t know whether I’d spend this much work on such an abstract goal, but what reproducibility changes really is quite amazing. It vastly increases trust in published binaries and obviates the need for signing and the security benefit of compiling software yourself.
M68k has the advantage that it has a fairly typical memory model.

Alpha's memory model has problems with providing atomic access to single bytes, which i'd imagine in a kernel is a bit annoying :-)

And then there's just the social aspect, m68k was used in the Amiga/Atari/Mac/QL/x68k, so there is a whole generation of us m68k fans who are willing to keep it alive.

Alpha has it's fans (me included!), but it's not exactly the same. So in a way it's no surprise it's slowly bitrotting away.
The federal rules around indirect costs give a default minimum. So this point about negotiation taking time is only relevant to going beyond that minimum. Critically 15% is at or below this minimum. Current grants prohibit paying operating costs as part of the budget. So if this is allowed to stand, the marginal benefit of a new research grant to an org will be NEGATIVE. It’s hard to understand this as anything other than an attempt to crush university research?

> While the original post was written well before NeXTSTEP, the Mach 3.0 kernel was converted into a monolithic kernel in NeXTSTEP, which later became MacOS.

The original Tanenbaum post is dated Jan 29, 1992.

NeXTSTEP 0.8 was released in Oct 1988.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NeXTSTEP#Release_history

3.0 was not the conversion into a monolithic kernel. That was the version when it was finally a microkernel. Until that point the BSD Unix part ran in kernel space.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mach_(kernel)

NeXTSTEP was based on this pre-Mach 3.0 architecture so it would have never met Tanenbaum's definition of a true microkernel.

> Mach received a major boost in visibility when the Open Software Foundation (OSF) announced they would be hosting future versions of OSF/1 on Mach 2.5, and were investigating Mach 3 as well. Mach 2.5 was also selected for the NeXTSTEP system and a number of commercial multiprocessor vendors.

OSF/1 was used by DEC and they rebranded it Digital Unix and then Tru64 Unix.

After NeXT was acquired by Apple they updated a lot of the OS.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XNU#Mach

> The basis of the XNU kernel is a heavily modified (hybrid) Open Software Foundation Mach kernel (OSFMK) 7.3.[3] OSFMK 7.3 is a microkernel[6] that includes applicable code from the University of Utah Mach 4 kernel and from the many Mach 3.0 variants forked from the original Carnegie Mellon University Mach 3.0 microkernel.

> The BSD code present in XNU has been most recently synchronised with that from the FreeBSD kernel. Although much of it has been significantly modified, code sharing still occurs between Apple and the FreeBSD Project as of 2009

Back in the late 2000's Apple hired some FreeBSD people to work on OS X.

Before Apple bought NeXT they were working with OSF on MkLinux which ported Linux to run on top of the Mach 3.0 microkernel.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MkLinux

> MkLinux is the first official attempt by Apple to support a free and open-source software project.[2] The work done with the Mach 3.0 kernel in MkLinux is said to have been extremely helpful in the initial porting of NeXTSTEP to the Macintosh hardware platform, which would later become macOS.

> OS X is based on the Mach 3.0 microkernel, designed by Carnegie Mellon University, and later adapted to the Power Macintosh by Apple and the Open Software Foundation Research Institute (now part of Silicomp). This was known as osfmk, and was part of MkLinux (http://www.mklinux.org). Later, this and code from OSF’s commercial development efforts were incorporated into Darwin’s kernel. Throughout this evolutionary process, the Mach APIs used in OS X diverged in many ways from the original CMU Mach 3 APIs. You may find older versions of the Mach source code interesting, both to satisfy historical curiosity and to avoid remaking mistakes made in earlier implementations.

So modern OS X is a mix of various code from multiple versions of Mach and BSD running as a hybrid kernel because as you said Mach 3.0 in true microkernel mode is slow.

> You just do not comply with this. If you are Apple you withdraw from the UK completely if necessary

But Apple has a massive history of complying with government data requests all over the world. They care not for user privacy one bit, and so this request is not that unusual for them.
> Also, C programmers don't seem to use any package managers other than the default system package manager and maybe git sub-modules (at least, not that I know of).

For what it's worth, as someone who primarily writes C, not C++, I use the system package manager, vendoring, and sometimes Git submodules, depending on the project. On Windows, when I'm using MSYS2, I use the pacman package manager. If I'm targeting MSVC, I use CMake. For CMake, on Windows, I create my own directory where I place prebuilt dependencies for CMake to find [1]. With this approach, I can rely on CMake's builtin find_package behavior (no need for vcpkg and configure-time toolchain flags).

If you're thinking about JetBrains' remote development, it's actually the IDE (a headless version) that's installed on the remote dev machine. Since you first need to install the IDE on the dev server first, you are never under any illusion that it's a simple SSH-based remote editing à la vim (even though it also relies on SSH).
I think the point is that it's a psychological hack to just get started. It's making a point, and the point is that it's even helpful without running the commands. Yeah, sure you can immediately make it run the command as soon as it exists -- the article is not implying that that's wrong
Not the author and they do appear to be on the thread but...

I read "ideatic space" as notional/conceptual world configuration. The plausible world configuration which could be manifested. The challenge of many configurations of the world is that they require cooperation of the other people in the world. Sometimes the cooperation is "don't knock this over, I want to look at it" (e.g. an art installation) but they can be far more abstract involving final emotional spaces, social agreements, and other dimensions that might require bootstrapping or other coordinated shifts.

To be more concrete, imagine if we could all agree not to violate each other's rights (of property, privacy, etc.). We would no longer need locks, prisons, militaries, et cetera. This would reduce frictions, increasing time available and reducing those frustrations stemming from accidentally locking ourselves out. On a relative basis, we would have a lot of available capital and resources for further improving the human condition. Yet the level of trust and consensus is hard to imagine so many of us learn to live with "knives out"/"defenses up" so to speak and the frictional inefficient world configuration remains.

There are other possible interpretations but that was my highest probability hypothesis and the one with which I read. The author did some heavy lifting with the term but trying to completely express this sort of thing for a not-you audience can be exhausting and it seems they mean to target a subset.
Linux was free. You see that Linus says Tanenbaum charges for Minix.

I started running Linux in October 1994.

One of the main reasons I chose Linux over Free/NetBSD was the hardware support.
Linux supported tons of cheap PC hardware and had bug workarounds very quickly.

I had this IDE chip and Linux got a workaround quickly. The FreeBSD people told me to stop using cheap hardware and buy a SCSI card, SCSI hard drive, and SCSI CD-ROM. That would have been another $800 and I was a broke college student.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CMD640

Linux even supported the $10 software based "WinModem" I got for free.
