We might be comparing Sun hw from different eras. The QFE cards I remember were in a very different address range from the onboard Ethernet (which was still 8:0:20:... I think). Seems like the QFE MAC must have been in PRAM on the NIC then, at least. And I am pretty sure I remember the MAC address following the card, too.

The problem I ran into was that when two same-MAC ports were connected to different segments/VLANs on the same layer 2 or 3 network device, that device wouldn't know what to do with the packets. Or it might send them down the wrong wire, which was a problem for me -- these were firewall boxes. :)

Eventually Sun added a boot param (or a kernel config? Set from OBP or from a shell) that would automatically number the QFE interfaces sequentially on boot. That fixed the problem for me.

Much later, they added the front-panel accessible smart cards that contained MAC, hostid, etc. I think that was the Netra series, intended for carrier grade RAIC installations.

I've found pfsense to be extremely quirky, though it works pretty well. If you can wrap your head around the weird way it's all presented, the CARP and XMLRPC sync between clusters works flawlessly.

That said, when you bring their strange "packages" into the mix, all hell can break loose. So be careful.
News flash: most technology companies don't really pay dividends. Probably, the main reason is because dividends are taxed at a pretty high rate. It's easier just to keep the money overseas in some tax shelter or other (Apple, Google), or plow it back into the company as investment (Amazon). Microsoft is one of the few tech companies that pays dividends.

Spending money on dividends looks like a poor choice. If your share price is sagging, you can always buy back your own shares with part of your cash hoard, like Microsoft did recently. Investors are always willing to believe that your investment will make the stock more valuable because TECHNOLOGY. And if they aren't, who is to guarantee that the stock will have any value at all next year? Cough-- Nortel Networks-- cough.

Life expectancy for someone who is 65 years old is actually 82.5 or 85.2 years (depends on gender) [1]. You are making a very common mistake by using life expectancy for someone born today -- that's a very different thing.

"What OSS tools and IDEs are making your devs so happy, and making their jobs better than say, VS 2012?"

You will believe that I am joking, but Vim, bash, git, grep, gdb, valgrind, llvm and lots of UNIX tools. We use IDA Pro a lot too.

Most of the people that work with me learned with Microsoft tools, myself included but we can't stand it anymore. Why? They are so powerless and limited, specially in the extension mechanism: extending it using your own tools, which basically do 90% of our work.

The main reason for that is that commercial companies can't let you do what you want, they can't let you do what you need like reading the system internals like with linux system utilities(Windows or Apple monopolizes access to it making amazing tools like Numega SoftIce dead) and even reading the source code.

We use VS 2012 and Xcode for compiling Windows and Mac versions of our software, that is mainly designed and tested in pure Unix.
Would you say you are catching 20%, 80%, or an unknown number of PR/shill type accounts on HN?

Looking through the source code posted elsewhere, it appears to make heavy use of AndroMDA internally, which appears to generate Java classes from UML diagrams. I think that's important to keep in mind when judging the 500m figure, as 500m computer generated code != 500m human code.

Speaking of the flamewar detector, I'm curious: what's the balance to be struck between discouraging flamewars (or encouraging civility) and discouraging groupthink? If certain topics are in effect verboten due to the types of discussions they tend to breed, does that not induce a sort of hivemind effect that reinforces prevailing views?

For example, if articles on Microsoft tend to get driven off the front page, while articles on Apple dominate it, that presents the appearance of the HN community being pro-Apple and anti-Microsoft, which affects the types of submissions and comments that are made, which affects the types of views people feel comfortable expressing, and eventually the types of people who choose to participate. The end result is that the community actually is more pro-Apple and anti-Microsoft, and the cycle intensifies until something close to homogeneity is reached.

As desirable as it is to discourage low-signal discussion threads, is there any thought given to the side effects of doing so?

The craziest part has been the hysteria about the healthcare.gov repository going down. It never contained any files that were useful to anyone - it was just the blog / landing page.

I recently installed a new version of Office on my dad's machine and was shocked to see that you can start using Office pretty much right away, even while it's still installing. The more complicated features (e.g., making charts) are locked out, but will be available as those bits are streamed in. Basically it bootstraps a bare bones document reader and advanced features become available as they are downloaded.

Awesome, but really brings to light how poorly MS handles advertising.
Microsoft makes shitty products that are not well designed or tested. Simple.
Salaries for the board is a special case, since it usually needs to be agreed by the shareholders at the AGM.

Umm... You are accusing MS of just forcing their choices upon their users? Isn't that Apple's standard (and actually well documented. Remember that article about Innovator's dillemma and jobs?) policy? I thought apple was famous for completely ignoring their users and telling them WHAT they want. Now THAT is use of monopoly. Google does that too (remember closing off gtalk?).

Secondly, the Metro UI thing, IMHO wasn't a forceful use of power. It was a bet (a lost one) that touchscreen laptops will become predominant. And So they created a UI based on that bet. They (incorrectly) thought that people want exactly the same UI on all their devices. So it's not that they are EVIL, just misguided.

So i don't HATE Microsoft, i just pity them.

I was hoping someone would correct me on that. So 84-65 = 19 years, and 2/19 = 10.5% predicted population churn in two years. 14% is 3.5%/10.5%, or 33% higher than the demographic factor alone would predict.

> Android's architecture keeps code small, makes sure nobody eats the global heap, shares common bytecode (really, anything) pages across processes, and provides memory-conserving modularity tools within each VM instance's heap.

Global heap can be controlled by process in many OS, nothing special about VMs.

Sharing of code pages between processes has been done in mainstream OS since a few decades.

Memory-conserving modularity tools, whatever that might be, aren't VM specific.

The only issue you are right about, is that bytecode is much more compact than native code.

> ... the reason there hasn't been a lot of new work on the JIT may be that the JIT is as good as it can be without eating more battery.

E5-1620 v2 (10M cache, 4 Cores, 8 Threads, 3.70 GHz (130W), 22nm) - $294

Hardly unbelievably expensive. In fact, the CPU is disappointing -- a top of the line non-Xeon desktop CPU would actually be better, not just in speed, but features. However, I blame this on Intel, not Apple, as the larger socket CPUs now lag the desktop line by more than a year, mostly because there is little to no competition for them and so Intel concentrates on other product lines. Your choice is now newest cpu or option for more than 4 cores.

The GPUs are also not that interesting. They are top of the line from AMD now, but they are just about to release new ones that should delegate those to middle of the line before the Pro comes out. I hope the cpu choice doesn't mean that Mac Pro is stuck on Ivy Bridge as CPU for it's entire run, and that you can upgrade the GPU to Hawaii for the better models on launch.
Of course, but I would be shocked if the backend was more than even 3-5 million lines.

Terminal weather script re-implemented in python
As someone else pointed out there are about 380M people living in the US so perhaps the code is :

...
} else if (name == "mark zuckerberg") {
} else {
open_dialog("Are you sure you are a US Citizen?");
}

Sillyness I know. I actually agree with many people that someone likely pulled the "500M" number out of a hat during a stressful moment needing a "really big number" not thinking about what it meant if that was in fact the number.

I'm in the same position as the parent (grandparent?).

I think that once I have actually written some stuff from scratch, I'll understand and appreciate a lot more of what is happening behind the scenes with django more.

That's ok, great, you are totally biased in favor of this company.

So you can't understand or respect other people opinions. "hate" is a very strong term for not caring enough, or not caring as much as some family with all members working for the company.

FYI, the cheapest PCIe SSD card I could find, a 240GB OCZ RevoDrive 3 will cost you ~$600 (while IOPs weren't specified, a +1GB/s RW was mentioned in the keynote).

As you mentioned, much of the cost is in the (extra) GPU (roughly FirePro W7000 class), but being said, I think you underestimate how important OpenCL is these days for video editing. FCPX is heavily dependent on the GPU and presumably Logic will be moving in that direction as well.

I was talking more about depreciation of capex than marginal cost. Almost all ASIC owners are facing losses and some of them are inventing rationalizations like the idea that they can force the price up by not selling (even though the price cannot affect the mine vs. buy tradeoff).
I guess you also suffered from being a newbie into a myriad of technologies.

WPF and Silverlight share almost the XAML stack with little differences. One just needs to know those differences.

LINQ-to-SQL and Entity Framework are usually used together and also share common concepts.

Other vendors also keep changing their stacks, it is the job of a developer to keep up with changes and learn to quickly pick up what is relevant for a given project.
I'm not sure. I just through some configuration options for a standalone tower server, and you can definitely get a comparable Xeon in there for the same or less. What's not clear to me is those video cards. There is no reference on the Dell site (or anywhere else I could find) as to what an AMD D300 FirePro is, or how much it costs. Dell lists FirePro V7800 and W7000 for ~$1500, but I don't see the D300 listed on any site so it much be an exclusive thing?
Just consider. The very recent imposition of the Metro/Windows 8 interface on a widely unwilling public is prima facie evidence of MS' continuing abuse of it's particular monopoly.

If they were truly a monopoly, they would not have seen it as important to respond and revise Windows 8. Real monopolies can abuse their customers and have no qualms about it. Microsoft is no longer in that position, so they changed direction once they saw what was happening in the market. The fact that they responded to the market and changed course is evidence that they have no monopoly power in this matter. They simply made a huge mistake due to being terrified of what iPad was doing to them, and they decided wrong. It's nothing more than that.

And besides, it's not like they didn't have a public beta program in the first place.
