It pretty much is these days with the sharp turn towards fascism that both the left and the right have taken. Remember, fascism is not about racism, but about absolute government control over the economy. Obama has effectively nationalized several major industries, such as health care and the auto industry during his two terms. That's fascism.

These days there is really no reason you can't have the debug symbols already around. But you've got a fine point there, the Bourne shell debugger is much more convenient and easy to come by, and it makes postmortem analysis with core files trivial... ;-)

As much as you need to do that with any system, you need to do that with them all.

Yes... and if not you have to learn about whatever other mechanism is being used to provide encapsulation and separation of concerns between the components of the system...

> It takes time and patience you usally don't have or don't want to spend on such details.

This really boils down to, "I'm already really familiar with this other system...". It's a legit argument for why you might not use systemd. It's not a terribly legit argument for why systemd is bad.

The rc system doesn't address a fraction of the problem and actually makes a number of things worse. Heck, the rc man page you linked to links to four or more other components of the system, including the voluminous "simple because it is shell" rc.conf.
Yes there are social mechanisms in the honest use of the word- that is, when someone proves to be a scammer they lose business in a free market. But otherwise a free market is an unregulated market. "very strong state control" is the opposite of a free market. That's central planning, and despite the name "Socialism" there's not much social about it because it does not benefit society, but it benefits the people who dictate prices (namely government bureaucrats.)

Weird. I've seen libertarianism blossom everywhere except seemingly in silicon valley which seems to have gone hard leftist since the initial early pioneers (who were libertainsl-- like Jobs and Wozniak) have left the scene.

But Hacker News has had a very strong left bias, and a draconian moderation policy going back at least to 2008. You risk being hellbanned for linking to scientific papers here if the papers don't agree with the ideology of the moderators (who, like all unaccountable entities, like to remain anonymous.)

Interesting!

Personally I don't know if the second part must follow from the first, at least not for * in theists. But then I'm a theist who doesn't believe in fate, or "God knowing about something == God giving a care" or God giving a care what you had for dinner. Even the beliefs I harbor about what you did have for dinner (i.e. treating your body in a specific way) have more to do with God wanting good things for man in general.

That's a silly statement. If it didn't break suspension of disbelief then it's because you didn't even realize it was CG! If you go to movies at all then I can all but guarantee you there are CG shots that you had no idea were CG.

Here's some super impressive CG from the first Captain America movie back in 2011. Crazy insane stuff they're doing it. And that's for a very, very extreme case. You better believe they are doing slick stuff in non-extreme cases!

> We're to the point where certain software packages (GNOME comes to mind) are requiring hard dependencies on it.

Wow... we've come a long way baby! Now freely available software that you can modify as needed without interference is taking away your freedom! ;-)

> I was just today reading about some incompatibility that arises if your kernel is set up with no IPv6 support which is explicitly caused by systemd.

Actually, the problem is that if you load IPv6 support after a socket was created, there's no efficient way to make that existing socket compatible with IPv6, which of course creates a nasty little integration problem. That wasn't a choice of the systemd folks, that was a choice of how the kernel folks organized their network subsystem & modules.

Systemd runs fine on my system with no IPv6 support.

> Sure, you're "free" to use something else, in the same way that you're "free" to patch and recompile every program that touches it to stop touching it. So "free" in the FOSS sense that nobody but developers care about.

For all the complaining about NIH syndrome and absorbing other projects for political purposes, systemd actually builds on top of a lot of very well established components (dbus, udev, etc.). To the extent that software gets tightly coupled with it, it wouldn't be hard to change it so that it used those standard components without systemd... unless systemd is actually providing some unique advantages for that software that you can't live without. In which case... go out and do a better job of it!

I know, Unix is annoying that way. ;-)

There are differences. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cantonese_grammar#Differences_f...

Notably comparisons:

Cantonese 佢高過我 He taller than me

Mandarin: 他比我高 He compared me tall

Cantonese doesn't really have passives.

Cantonese can have multiple particles at the end of a sentence.
I think this could work well for people who are 'time rich' where talking is by far the better way to convey more information. For the rest of us drones though we have less choice about when / how long / how loud we can talk so texting or messaging is an attractive alternative.

>A daemon that managaes other daemons doesn't need to be PID 1, even to reap zombies.

And get this, prctl(PR_SET_CHILD_SUBREAPER) has existed since May 2012, the original patch was created and submitted by Poettering, and yet we're still told that service management needs to run as pid1 in order to see all double-forked detached daemonized processes.
"and while it doesn't tell me exactly where they are"

You can (voluntarily) share this with the click of a button, at least on Android (paperclip->Location), which I think is the best solution.

But anyway, I agree. Sounds a lot like maybe a new feature or two to Hangouts (the long term rescind feature sounds nice, and Hangouts doesn't have an easy way to record an audio clip from within the app and attach it the way you would an photo, but I'm not convinced that is as important as Ray Ozzie thinks it is, and even if it is it would be trivial to implement on top of what already exists), not some grand new product market, especially when it doesn't even include video support yet while Hangouts does. If you buy into his theory of there being something "lost" with text, surely a lot is also lost when you lose body language with just voice.
Oh I read it. And it made a lot of sense, when I was 15.

"There are two novels that can change a bookish fourteen-year old’s life: The Lord of the Rings and Atlas Shrugged. One is a childish fantasy that often engenders a lifelong obsession with its unbelievable heroes, leading to an emotionally stunted, socially crippled adulthood, unable to deal with the real world. The other, of course, involves orcs."

That's what I'm imagining. I know the engineers figured out a way to get it to work walky-talky style where you can either speak or listen (but not both) two-way -- let's call that partial duplex -- but I think the new wave of innovating social mobile apps could really utilize the flat network design paradigm in this new way, creating a whole new way to communicate with friends that also opens doors for enterprise usage. I think this could really make the world a better place.
Do you mean like voice mail and iOS / whatsapp / Facebook voice messaging?
Depends on the case, but yeah, those extra emotional cues are very important to me now.

My business consultant, a retired SV engineer & entrepreneur, has been incessantly reminding me, "make that one a phone call, not an email," for four years now. And he's absolutely right. Many situations jut work better when people can hear your voice and v/v. I feel I can communicate far more effectively over the phone in many cases than I can via email. Any time you could do with some extra empathy, e.g. during negotiations, introductions, heavy procrastination, tense moments--you pick up the phone and the extra boost is like getting free money compared to email.
> super power status in a rapid fashion because the constitution was strong

So was the terrorism. Nice constitutions are easy to write, but slaughtering the local population and driving them into deserts and marshes takes more bravery and teamwork.

> you find that Libertarianism is so successful

Well so far it was pretty much equivalent to terrorism (not unlike other Fantasy Systems, like Communism for example).

So where are these successful Libertarian countries. As I mentioned in another comment. For the amount of press and number of adherents this movement is getting, you'd think there would be scores of easy and obvious success examples in today's world to point to.
WhatsApp and Line are multi-billion dollar companies that replaced a simple thing phones could already do. Laughing and making sarcastic jokes at something that makes voice mail better and easier with a nice UI by a proven competent individual is probably the wrong response to make, especially when the UI and features look pretty gangbuster. A little bit of polish and better ease of use can make whole lot of people happy and also lots of money.
Voice isn't the clearest or the fastest way to communicate.

I'd suggest the opposite - that's it's slow, unclear and probably the worst form of digital communication. There's no good log, it's not silent, you can't link to other information (or copy it) and it requires one person to stop talking before another can start.

This all aside, iOS 8 now let's you send voice messages in the default messages app - seems like this company has no market?
Yeah, I've got OpenRC on one of my Funtoo systems too... Let's try some different shell magic...

Oh, and that's with lzma compressed man pages.
I think it might succeed.
WeChat does a subset of this and is extremely popular in China. Basically it's like text messages, except voice. This looks a lot more polished though, and obviously includes many more features. I can definitely see it being handy. It's often easier to speak a message than type it, and if you care about the presentation of your message, voice to text will often take longer than straight text. (Plus can't communicate everything voice does.) But I still rarely use WeChat since voice clips aren't my default mode of communication, and there's friction in using a completely separate app/service just for that. Including it in an all-encompassing messaging platform though, sounds great.

Arguably dbus is basically built is unix domain sockets with a pub/sub routing mechanism (and a ton better security).
I can't helping thinking "right problem, wrong solution". I would take the bet that there's more ongoing demand for voice calls than many in the tech community realize -- but I don't think this demand is primarily among close-knit teams.

Our team used Hipchat for a while, which was notable because it had a button for 1-click voice or video calls... a button no one ever clicked.
If you call somebody on the plain old telephone network and they're not around, you'll likely get voice mail. It wouldn't be hard for Talko to offer a better interface for this, but I have a hard time seeing killer app potential in this.
The point of hand waving orchestration, configuration management, etc. is to separate the concern of what is running from the concern of how it is connected to other things. My hope is that container builders could simply focus on dependencies and application code and that the act of connecting components together can be handled by a different layer in the system.
Wow, those are really good. I wonder why big budget movies have such trouble rendering believable CGI when others do a fantastic job.
>What am I missing?

You're not missing anything, but that doesn't mean this won't be successful. There were tons of ride ordering/sharing apps before Uber; Uber just had the right interface at the right moment. AIM long predated Whatsapp and Skype. These are just a few examples of not-so-original products that became hugely successful because of some very slight twists on relatively old concepts.

Not being original in concept is far from a disqualifier for success. In all but a tiny fraction of cases, "first mover advantage" is a myth. If your goal is rapid, widespread adoption of your product, it's generally better to iterate on something that has proven acceptance by the market.
I think you are missing the mini-slideshare aspect to voice and text/image sharing. Just looking at the app website, users can work as a team and use voice for annotation, which is pretty huge vs. text/images only. Plus, any voice elements seem to be treated as part of a larger conversation element that can be resumed or edited at will. Do Skype or Hangouts have these features? I know I can leave people messages like using an answering service, but that's not even close to the same thing.
Another ridiculously simple game
I think a web based killer is very far away in the time line. I recently was trying to make a huge gird in Photoshop and my i7+10gbRAM computer was unable to handle it. I think very simple stuff like annotating and cropping/red-eye fix can be done but I think a web based photo editor will fail when huge performance is required.
Chinese does have the additional complication of using a writing system that's not geared very well for fast entry on a mobile phone though.
FWIW I agree that reactive infrastructure is fairly limited in scope. The traditional model of infrastructure is everything running in a single server. If your unit of deployment is a vm, then orchestration, service discovery, security policy must be done within the vm image or via a configuration management system. If your unit of deployment is a container, then these pieces can be done outside of the container system. A standard interface for the way the container communicates with the outside world allows these systems to be shared and reused and perhaps one day standardized.
> It's like he has these thoughts actually bottled up but cannot control them

It is not at all like he simply can't control them & would have the thoughts regardless.

That's not really how the disease works. I'm not saying you need to be a fan of his comments - but I do think he deserves a little more slack than you're giving him.
I feel exactly the opposite. All my life I've felt clumsy with spoken words. I much prefer to write.

Writing gives me time to think and to edit and to find the odd word that eludes me.

I do realise that not everybody feels this way. Many of my friends hate writing and will basically ignore important emails as if they had never existed.

I guess our brains are wired differently.

It sounds cliche but sometimes the startup world chooses you rather than the other way around. What I found most interesting about Biz Stone's story was that it felt like I was rooting for him rather than feeling like he was hustling me. As entrepreneurs, we all have the "pauper" backstory and lifestyle but sometimes we have to project where we want to be. It comes off in our passion, drive, confidence, optimism, and sometimes bravado.

As they say, history is written by the winners. Biz Stone wrote it before he got started though.
Google should share their income from SERPs with webmasters.
I had the same thought when I first saw Uber. "I have the number for XYZ taxi/limo service programmed into my phone. What's so special here?". To the vast majority of people, a better interface for doing something they already do is itself a killer app. Ask a teenager how often they email their friends. They'll laugh at you. Why? Because Snapchat and Instagram are better interfaces for communicating the things they want than traditional email.

Talko is arguably a better interface than most professionals use for many aspects of communications, so they have at least a reasonable chance of success.

> Not even sure what you mean here. Are you talking about peer discovery? Because DBus won't help you there either--peers have to be aware of each other's DBus object paths before they can rendezvous. Similarly, two peers need to know where the common pipe is to rendezvous.

I suspect he was referring to socket activation and how that simplifies these kinds of messes.

> Nor should they. There are a ton of ways to skin this cat in userspace, depending on what your application needs. Protobufs come to mind, for example, but there are others.

Right... so that's exactly what systemd did. It used Dbus, which provides that standard serialization format. Not my favourite format, but very well established and tested and focused on systemd's problem domain.

The point is, in order to have loose coupling between components, something like unix pipes is just a starting point.

> Does the pipe know what's best for every single application that will ever use it?

Ah, now I understand the problem with systemd. I never realized it was trying to take over every application's communications protocol! ; -)

Seriously, I think it is perfectly reasonable (and necessary) to define a standard protocol for system even notifications... I say this because it has already been done... by the standard compoents like udev & dbus that systemd is building on top of...

> Last I checked, you pass file descriptors via UNIX sockets, not pipes.

Correct. People have a tendency to mess up their semantics though. If the original poster wasn't referring to unix domain sockets, than it is an even sillier question.

> It is unreasonable to expect the pipe to be aware of every single threat model an applications expects, especially since they change over time.

Yes, but you do need something more sophisticated than a pipe to manage secure communications between your systems components.

> Nor does DBus. Nothing stops an application from willy-nilly changing the data it serves back.

? D-Bus will drop you like a hot potato the moment you fire off invalid messages. You could send valid messages with fraudlent/misleading data payloads I guess, but at least a whole host of problems are addressed by tightening that up.
