Specifically, his belief is that God forbids networking in TempleOS, not other OS's. (Otherwise he wouldn't maintain a website, upload YouTube videos, or comment on HN.) It may not be a good idea to add networking to TempleOS, since he may take that as an affront to his religion.

Also, if code has no license, then apparently it's equivalent to having an "All Rights Reserved" notice, preventing any re-use of the code at all, according to http://osswatch.jiscinvolve.org/wp/2013/05/21/unlicensed-cod...

"Experienced developers won’t touch unlicensed code because they have no legal right to use it." http://osswatch.jiscinvolve.org/wp/2013/05/23/unlicensed-cod...

So if TempleOS has no license, then it may not be strictly legal to add networking support and then re-release the code. Glancing at the "Downloads" section shows no mention of a license. Of course, no one is going to be able to enforce those protections in Terry's case, but if it's likely to simultaneously offend him and be illegal, is it a good idea?

What a strange situation.

EDIT: TempleOS turns out to be in the public domain.

I am 28 years old. I am starting business school next year and really hoping to get a couple more projects under my belt. Recently a team of us developed an algorithm which predicts stock market movement. We are still developing the algorithm and automation behind the scenes but are seeing some very good returns over the last several weeks.

I can always provide more about myself, but my idea is an app that hopes to improve the customer experience, by connecting local business and customers in a way that has not been done.

Hope this help, I think 50/50 can work and I am willing to learn or do what it takes. I have been told I am an extremely resourceful person and not afraid to put myself out there to make a project succeed.

Ask HN: I've been rejected for internships. What am I doing wrong?
I'm from India. I applied for internships at various startups, Facebook and Google. It's been a week and I have been rejected by everybody(Twitter, Stripe, Palantir, Quora) except Facebook and Google, probably because they take longer to respond.

I'm trying to figure out what I am doing wrong. Is it the fact that I'll need J1 visa sponsorship if I'm accepted, that the startups don't want to consider international applicants? I consider myself pretty good at coding, at least for my age (20). I have experience as a successful startup founder while I was 17. I've done many freelancing projects 3 of them are on my resume. I have experience with NodeJS, Angular, multiple APIs (Twitter, Facebook). I know JavaScript, PHP and C. I've mentioned all of this on my resume.
I'm studying at a college nobody knows about and have average GPA.
What am I doing wrong? Is this just not enough to get a good internship?
Why more antiquated?

No, they're both about "making things work". Visual design isn't arbitrary, touchy-feely stuff.

I'm a huge fan of ants, bees, and wasps, but I have never kept bees, only ants. There is something I don't understand.

Is there any rational advantage to keeping the beehive alive between the two queens, especially since the new queen is probably only remotely related in terms of genealogy? Is it just so the production of honey, propolis, etc remains uninterrupted? What happens if you let a beehive completely die and then put in a new queen? Would the beehive become too filthy for the new colony to develop easily?

Or does the author's wish to keep the beehive alive only stem from emotional attachment?
They might not benefit from it but if we agree things will be moving that way (I personally believe it will) then it's a matter of timing.
You pretty much nailed it. I lived down the street from this lightbulb as a kid and never heard of it until it became a phenomenon on the web. It should be said that they intentionally run it dim in order to prevent burnout. Didn't read the full article, but I'm guessing they mentioned the lightbulb also has its own UPS to deal with power outages/surges.

Unless I'm forgetting my P-Chem (possible, it wasn't a favorite subject), the 10 kelvin/halving lifetime loosely holds true for most chemical reactions that occur out of extremes -- e.g. that relationship holds true for most reactions that naturally occur on our planet. I still find that to be one of nature's neat factoids.
Linux in a Browser
Well, there is are several metric tons of examples out there.. Hard to resist coming up with my own ideas though since this is such an interesting topic.

Maybe we don't have to have the most advanced open source 3d networking game engine out there as a protocol.

Maybe we can start by building off of Named Data Networking (NDN) http://named-data.net/doc/NDN-TLV/current/

Would be nice to have everything including content represented in Manchester OWL syntax but that's probably not realistic.

So perhaps use the NDN protocol with TLV encoding, NDN name format/URI scheme, order. Use the interest packets for subscribing to rooms in the metaverse. Then exchange NDN Data Packets with updates to object positions etc.

Maybe for data contents use something with YAML for a change from XML.

The idea with the "procedures:" thing is to take advantage of YAML's flexibility in order to create a language independent representation of an algorithm for doing simple procedural generation. It would be designed in such a way as to make it easy to generate code from the data tree in different languages like C, C++, Nim(rod), Java, Python, whatever. That would be compiled on the fly and loaded as a sort of plugin.

Then rather than doing simple state updates, it uses operational transformations like saying "at time A force B was applied to this object and its velocity before that was C".

So my idea uses an emerging standard (NDN) for efficiently distributing information and updates about the metaverse, an easy to read standard in YAML for describing the details, includes the concept of portals linking between worlds (you gotta have portals, they are one of the coolest things about the metaverse), includes the idea of embedded webviews (too much awesome stuff on the web to leave that out of the metaverse browser), a YAML-format for encoding algorithms that can be easily translated to common languages and compiled on the fly, and operational transformations for informing other clients about operations on the world state.
The Common Core Curriculum (CCSS)
The Common Core State Standards (CCSS) or Common Core Curriculum has become a highly debated topic among politicians, educators, business people and the general public. The CCSS has gained strong support from some technological corporations and people such as Bill Gates (http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/03/14/bill-gates-common-core_n_4964026.html). Some of the companies strongly supporting the CCSS, however, also have strong motivations in that they are set to make a lot of money off the implementation and continued used of the standards.

I personally am not a strong proponent of the CCSS as I do not think that they will fix the problems that the backers of them say they will. I am studying for the education and sciences field which is my connection to the CCSS.

I was wondering how other people in the tech and start-up communities feel about the CCSS.

What, she's worked a Google, Microsoft and Apple as an engineer. While she may not be currently employed as one, she certainly could be if she wanted.
If you're at all interested in this topic, I can't recommend highly enough a little book by Tony Kordyban, Hot Air Rises and Heat Sinks: Everything You Know About Cooling Electronics Is Wrong. (The sequel, More Hot Air, is good too). The author makes the case, in Chapter 30, that those numbers, which came from MIL-HDBK-217, were pulled out of somebody's hat at a time when semiconductor reliability rates were changing rapidly due to process improvements, and probably don't have much validity any more. When actual reliability rates were compared to prediction and measured temperatures, there was no correlation.

These books are great.

> systemd is not taking away your freedom in any meaningful sense of the word "freedom"

This is absolutely incorrect. We're to the point where certain software packages (GNOME comes to mind) are requiring hard dependencies on it. 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. (To which the response from the systemd folks was something along the lines of "You shouldn't be turning it off anyways")

(Great, now our software takes philosophical positions...)

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.

Meanwhile, in the real world, populated by end users and sysadmins, the most important people when it comes to a computing environment, the ones that all of this crap is being done for at the end of the day... not so much.

sigh

I'm annoyed that systemd is taking over for political reasons and not purely on its technical merits, and that there is no way this is not going to lead to a monoculture. There will be others, but they will be relegated to the position of marginalized, niche players that nobody outside of /g/ troll threads care about.

I'm annoyed that the rest of the world is going to have to adapt to this software, rather than the other way around.

I'm annoyed that this software is doing 5000 things where one would do.
I know personal experience doesn't exactly count as rigorous scientific study, but I do have one light in my house that I literally never turn off in my kitchen. No automatic switch or anything, it burns 24/7/365.

It burns out roughly every 3 years (26,000 hours, pretty damned good, right.) That bulb is subject to various other environmental factors that will reduce it's lifespan (vibration and high heat.)

I've forgotten my point now, but I think it boils down to, a single factor, such as power cycling, isn't likely going to be the only reason a bulb doesn't last as long. A lot of factors play into it, including both environment and manufacturing.

They should say that American Apparel is the manufacturer of the shirt (I only found out by clicking their google image search link from the checkout page). They're known for running a size small + (imo) they have a good reputation for quality t-shirts, so it might help with sales.
You can trap virtually all signals beyond SIGKILL.

Keep in mind I'm not advocating a strict separation, it does make sense to intertwine to an extent for practical purposes. I'm mostly trying to say that they're separate stages, and should not be completely equated for each other, lest some undesirable design properties emerge.

I understand, that sounds very close to what I've been working on, a functionally reactive infrastructure that is configured with constraint based logic DSL that starts from QoS constraints. The QoS constraints allows one to specify goals, and allow infrastructure to be built up implicitly.

I've read some of the stuff on your website, it's very closely aligned to what I'm working on. We should talk in more detail.
> Lastly, lightweight containers are the real-deal for small development tasks (not for production!).

I've come across this sentiment a few times in the last month, but I haven't yet heard an explanation other than "VMs are battle-tested and containers might leak data to each other". Is there something more that I'm missing? Why aren't containers a good idea to use in production?

As much as I appreciate what he did (most of us wrote a bare bones OS in school anyway), I'm not a fan of his racist comments. Some are incredibly specific like "I can't believe a nigger is the boss of a white guy, that just isn't right" or something like that. It's like he has these thoughts actually bottled up but cannot control them because of his illness. Nonetheless, my bad to rain on someone with such an illness. All the best to him.
Very good article!

If you have a validation that prevents the price change, so you really does not need to test the view logic. Only your presenter. If the user change the price, it is never saved on the database.

Using sysvinit doesn't require a domain specific configuration language to be known and understood. So I think simpler is quite valid.

Less verbose does _not_ mean simpler! In many cases it means quite the opposite.

UNIX to me is about simplicity. We don't need crap like binary logs and heavy RPC mechanisms to be polluting beautifully simple and minimal systems.

It really is incredible. I mean, in the original link, look at the image of Arnold used for the video before playing. It's a blurry, greyscale section of his face. Nonetheless, most people could easily recognize that face as being him.

Billions of people in this world, we all have a very similar facial structure with two eyes, a nose and a mouth, and yet you can recognize that small blurry face in a fraction of a second.

I imagine it's similar with animals. You can have thousands of birds in a flock, and they can recognize their mate instantly. To us, we'd have to carefully analyze the birds for days or weeks to make that same match.

Well, if you believe in god, then random numbers must come from him, right? Even in the sense that randomness is deterministic, it's then part of fate which is ruled by whatever supreme power you would believe in. As Luke says in The Dice Man, if "not a single sparrow can fall to the ground without your Father knowing it", then how can a die tumble without his knowing it? A die is just as pseudo-random of course, but it's nigh impossible to have a "seed" of the exact hand movement and height you use, the surface and the form of the die.

I'm an atheist, but I do find the concept of randomness being the pure will of god fascinating.

If Aviary owns any patents in the photo-editing realm, those alone were worth the acquisition to Adobe. Aviary has active partnerships with Yahoo!

Often times, 50/50 partnerships fail because of differing expectations. What are you expecting from the other half of the partnership? What will you be able to contribute?

Many ideas can be validated by with manually, before software is written.

The CEO of [Treatings](http://treatings.co) used a spreadsheet to keep track of users, and sent all the emails by hand until he validated the idea. Off the top of my head, AirPair, ZeroCater, and WuFoo were all founded similarly.

Programmers are more amenable to partnerships where you've got a manual process that can automated, than an idea.

I always have mixed feelings when it comes to Russian "freedom." On one hand it looks like a libertarian's dream where freedom (to not wear a seatbelt...) is plentiful. On the other hand, it also reminds me of this: http://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2013/dec/19/anarchi...

There's a fine balance between freedom and recklessness but I'm glad Russia has smokejumpers and the like so we can see another way than that of most of the western nations.
