As a systems programmer you really don't seem to understand what an operating system is. If you can compare MacOS and Linux in the same breath, and use largely different terms when both are POSIX Unix like OSes.

What you are looking for is a windows manager or theme, not an underlying OS. You seem to have those confused. MacOS, Andriod, Linux, and IOS fundamentally and at their core largely work exactly the same.

Actually at their core, Linux and Andriod are the same OS-- Linux.

So please. If you want to disrupt a market, learn how the market works.
These people don't sound like they're starting a company. They sound more like they're starting a social movement or a cult.

It's weird, and in the context of a commercial company, which ultimately exists to make money, seems wildly out of place. I keep wondering whether they are actually sincere or just spouting this crap for the marks.

If they're not sincere, they're just liars trying to wring an extra 10 percent out of their labour force for free. And if they are sincere, their passion seems misplaced to the point of delusion. I mean, why the heck get excited about selling shoes?
You seriously expect me to break cycles myself?

Edit: Furthermore, you expect me to carefully read the source of every single third-party library I use and patch it to break any potential cycles? This is madness!
Many Spanish young developer do this because salaries are substantially higher in UK, and an experience in an English speaking country is highly valued by companies in Spain (if they ever plan to come back), and of course for the experience itself.

I have at least three ex coworkers that moved to UK for these reasons, even if at the time they were (more or less) happily employed in Spain.

I hereby challenge you to do it yourself. No offense intended.
I know, but that doesn't mean that there aren't bugs or missing features specific to that GPU model (hardware or software). But I can't be sure whether this particular issue is a driver bug or just an unsupported combination of pixel formats (FRAMEBUFFER_INCOMPLETE hints at that).

WebGL spec requires certain of pixel formats to be supported but either the test case is using some combination that isn't guaranteed to be supported or the driver+hw combination doesn't actually support everything required by the spec.

Intel has made huge improvements since the days of the i9xx series of GPUs. They were miserably bad from a programmer's standpoint.

No journald. Consequently, this also means no libqrencode and libmicrohttpd integration, nor hooking coredumps to the journal. The default log target for auxiliaries is now LOG_TARGET_SYSLOG_OR_KMSG.

The main case against binary logs is their corruptibility. This happens more often than you’d think, due to not having any transaction consistency, as an RDBMS would. The advice of the systemd developers on handling this? Ignore it.
> Windows and OSX are bloated; Linux is raw, not simple; IOS seems too basic, not simple; Android seems a piece of junk based on obsolete technologies.

Users don't care tech behind the scene, bloated or perfectly written code. If the software is fulfilling the use case or not is the only things the users care. IMO, the market should be determined based on use case not based on how any software is written.

If you come up with completely revolutionary idea of how a typical user should interact with computer, then probably you can enter into OS market, otherwise it is very very tough market to enter.

My advice is to apply his engineering skills to the job hunt itself. Send out CV's every day, network, hunt, analyze data, look for patterns, etc. As he is discovering, job hunting is a full time job.

In Canada, there are organizations for older job hunters that help with resume preparation and cover letters, job hunting techniques, how to network effectively, etc. Working with others in a similar situation is great for your morale. I wish him good luck.

Say you provided block lists for smtp/ssh/http which were actively updated, firewall rules, log filters, packet capture filters, &c to help find and prevent some of the illicit traffic on my own network.

Each of the major operating systems on the market today is generally incredibly well designed and fit for its purpose.

It is the purpose that needs changing.

The next operating system I will use will allow me to log in from any terminal anywhere in the world and receive the same experience. The OS will be a simple abstraction layer over my individual data, preferences and even personal UX. It won't matter if I'm looking at a phone or a tablet or a television or my refrigerator, the interface will be tailored to my context and all the same data will be accessible.

Many would argue thnt the web is this OS, and they would be right in many respects. But the main desktop and mobile and refrigerator experiences are still vastly separated; the next OS will remove this separation, as it no longer provides us with any advantage in the great majority of cases.

OS wise, this would bring many challenges. How do you securely sync data, and more importantly, code? Where does a user and their data live when not logged in? How is all the data transfer handled in an efficient way? What lives on each device versus on a server somewhere? How can a user continue to own their data and devices, rather than having them appear amorphous and distant? How do you keep a universal and omnipresent feel without sacrificing the power of using native hardware and capabilities?

Certain cloud services have come far in this area, but none have been ambitious enough to tackle the whole experience.

Do that right, and the world will be yours.

How to identify a salvage vehicle title?
The vehicle's seller admits that the car has a salvage title. Some sellers try to hide such information. Look for the words as salvage, junked, reconditioned, totaled, warranty rebuilt or returned on the title. Plus, you should look for evidence that the title has been altered.

>>now they have to perform contact tracing and disinfect the place.

I wonder how feasible this is. Its not just the bowling alley, using public rest rooms, subway, or utensils at a restaurant. Its almost impossible to find every thing he came in contact with and disinfect it. Plus in case of stuff like utensils, whats to guarantee that they were not mixed with each other and used by other people already.

If some one has been infected due to this by now. It will become impossible to get a realistic perspective of how far this thing would have spread.

In short you are dealing with a exponential growth scenario.Which is why these sort of things are so dangerous.

But this exists already in a form of RBL/PBL/XBL/etc. Not that it cannot be done better, e.g. for smoother integration into existing perimeter security systems, but it exists nonetheless and it's free.

OS' are more resistant to changes because of the effort involved in re-training. In purely consumer space, we already have iOS and android which do offer a more modern approach to human-computer interaction than desktop OS'. The world is simply not ready for anything disruptive in this space. Take WinFS for example.. too early for adoption.

One step in the right direction is ChromeOS (and firefox OS to some degree), and its model IS going to be the future, but the problem with ChromeOS are: (a) web technologies are not mature yet, (b) any new OS should have support for both native and web apps.

It depends a lot on unmentioned details. What's the opportunity cost for you (what are you giving up to go for a one-week trial)? Why would you think it would hurt your chances with other companies? I'd imagine they would pay you. If not, that's a bit of a red flag against the culture.

If the opportunity costs aren't too great, I'd go for it. But I'd make sure it was clear that it was a bi-directional arrangement. I'd be evaluating their culture and my potential co-workers as well to see if that would be a mutually beneficial long term solution. At the end of the week I'd be able to make a more informed decision if the work environment would work out for me.

Not sure how to deal with the compensation on that, maybe 1099 if you are in the US.

I'd look at it (as much of life) as a positive learning experience. Even if you learn nothing technically, every interaction with someone is a chance to see alternate perspectives. In the long run, that's highly valuable.

Pro tip: this should have been posted as a "Ask HN:" not so much "Help me out:". Also I believe this has been asked here before over the years. You might to well to research some of those posts.

Europe is very conservative: Standing out might be even a downer.

But generally good public (e.g. on github) standing should justifiy you a job (maybe even a highly paid one)

EDIT: Wow, thanks for the downvotes: Just to let you know: I LIVE (and work since almost 10 years) IN Europe! I have 2 (relevant!) projects on github and usually don't talk about them at hiring situations (though they are mentioned in my CV and are actually used (and appreciated) by people out there)

For some reason, I just can't get past the thought that this overhead is more than just a little.

And, again, my main concern is more of a cognitive one. It is fairly hard to "pull back the curtains" and think about a system that has different /etc files for each application/container on it. (Heck, the implication seems to be that it would be possible for malware to somewhat easily hide stuff from the other users on the machine.)

I mean, I realize it can be done. And pretty soon it would become the more standard way to do things. Just seems a larger mental shift to me than you are making it sound.
" Did you know that the first Matrix was

your "perfect world". But I believe that, as
a species human beings define their

Just see it as a time to "declutter" your brain.
Especially working in programming it's been so helpful and basically it will free up new space for inspiration / thoughts / ideas / whatever.

Don't worry about science behind it. Take some good headphones, listen to nature sounds and just try to wind down. There is no magic behind it, you can try hypnosis on YouTube. It is just guiding you to focus on simple things and your brain will relax.
I like to use Thunderspace app or youtube hypnosis or just every hour programming I have 5 minutes sitting outside doing nothing.

That's what meditation means to me, doing nothing :)

So long answer cut short.

If you have your space to relax, wind down the mind then you will naturally be more happy and more productive and inspired.

I'm not sure if it is "wrong," per se, but not idiomatic. Here (in the midwestern part of the US, at least) you would pick one or the other, so "some words" or "a few words."
It's not just mono they need, it's the IDE. The default IDE that comes with Unity is MonoDevelop. If they upgraded the runtime, they'd have to pay for Xamarin's IDE. I wonder if embedding the java runtime would have been cheaper in the long run.

Fixed headers also break pressing space to page through a document - my usual way of reading the web. Space advances the viewport by one screen-height, but with a fixed header, not all of this screen-height is visible.
This was fun to read. What I saw was someone say that they were panicking because they needed time to understand how all the things that go into learning to be a researcher goes into learning how to be a professional programmer. I'm quite sure his mind will be blown once he realizes that creating things, while incredibly rewarding, is only half the work. The other half is getting someone else to use your widget. Also (bad at math joke), there's an extra 50% involved in getting attribution.

My take? I'm biased because I was educated as a researcher. I can name-drop three famous professors at my alma mater (and yes, I did study under all three), but what really pushed me was getting a job, on campus, writing software to support PhD candidates in another discipline. I quickly made the jump from researcher to practicum precisely because I was trained as a researcher, then applied those skills to understanding what my customers needed.

Seems to me this guy found his own "push". And yet, he's still a researcher.

Same here. Aside from taking care of transactions, which is easy to imitate, I don't see what sets Airbnb apart from other vacation rental websites. They are not fundamentally different. Yes, they have a large userbase, but that's easily threatenable considering their fees and lack of distinction.

It's just not common in an idiomatic way, really. Technically, it is 'incorrect' because 'few' is the object of the sentence, not 'words'.

But there are plenty of examples of phrases in English which are acceptable but which break grammar rules.

In short, you would say "a few words".

Not related to all binary logging, but journalctl is incredibly sluggish.

I think you severely underestimate how important it is to have a monopoly on the market. FB's main asset is also its userbase, so by that reasoning they are easy to emulate. It's not that people haven't tried that, but it doesn't work.
The rebuttal is itself technically true but I think misses the point of the original statement: The gut is a complex system which has direct effects on many other systems in the body, including the brain. The resultant feedback loops are not well understood at the current time.

If you treat the gut as a simple "food processor" that does nothing more than take in food, break it down and transfer the resluting proteins & sugars into the bloodstream then you're vastly over simplifying things. Yes, it's perfectly true that gut bacteria do not make up a huge percentage of your body mass, but you could say the same thing about your kidneys & anyone who claimed that the kidney "just takes waste products from the bloodstream and excretes them as urine" would be over simplifying things enormously. That statement is as true as the "gut bacteria are only 1% of your body mass" one, but it also misses out on a lot of complexity - the kidneys are involved in all sorts of hormonal feedback loops & can go wrong in many weird and wonderful ways. The same is true of the gut, and that's the point of the original statement about the vast number of gut bacteria IMO - it's reminding us that the digestive system is in fact very complex and an active participant in hormonal feedback loops that affect the rest of the body, including those that affect how much we want to eat.
