The web is your 3rd mobile OS.

Sure the developing world still needs very cheap phones, and they require software close to the hardware.

But in the developed world phones and tables get closer to a full PC every day. They basically are tiny PCs.

And exactly how the web made Windows and OSX, and Linux less interesting, so it will make the mobile OSs less interesting.

Because even if you can't get close to the hardware, and might require user permissions to access hardware features, still a java script and HTML5 based web app can do almost anything you want on mobile hardware. History keeps repeating itself.

For some reason I seem to be getting different values then you. However from what I got, there was only a single instance of a username 'michael' having a password 'michael'.

HOWEVER, of all of the people whose password is 'michael' 83 seem to CONTAIN the str 'michael'.

Of the set of usernames 'michael' there are 20 whose passwords contain the string 'michael'

Of the set of usernames containing the string 'michael' there are 276 passwords that contain the string 'michael'

I honestly expected much more.
It's a valid info I think.
Kudos to you sir for contributing!

By "core contributor" I did mean developer but really my point was that there is an explicit gap in the roles of the people involved in these platforms. You have a small group of people explicitly focused on development, and a much larger group of people explicitly focused on usage. Windows and Mac OS X are in the same situation. The best strategy for the people developing these platforms is to focus on a generally applicable UI to accomodate the large heterogeneous group. Ultimately this will result in the platform being more omakase (if you will) and less likely to be everything for everybody, though a decent default.

I don't mean to say that this is a fault with GNOME/KDE themselves but more of a likely unavoidable consequence when you build a product for a large general audience.

If you're a programmer this is really annoying. When something is broken or annoying to you, you have the ability to fix it but because there is so much organization/process/design around these systems, the activation energy is too high.

But if you're a programmer you don't have to deal with this. You can just use a simpler system meant for hackability, a system where the users are the developers.

I see nothing wrong with big vertically integrated Linux systems like GNOME/KDE and in fact I'm glad they exist. If they did not, I would not be able to genuinely recommend Linux to my non-technical friends. Apple has shown the vertical integration is an efficient and successful way to design products for large groups of people, not unsurprising that those systems are mimicking that.

5 Important Points About Business Models
Totally... this is why pipelining makes Redis 10x faster, less syscalls.

Basically to make Redis much faster we need to work to three different related things:

1) Less kernel friction.

2) Threaded I/O, this is the part worth threading, with a global lock to execute queries so you don't get crazy with concurrency and complex data structures. Memcached did it right.

3) Pipelining: better client support for pipelining so that it's easy to tell the client in what order I need my replies, and unrelated replies can be glued together easily.

Does that mean Google will not SELL those robots to the army?

DARPA only FUNDED THE R&D for most robots from them. DARPA is a funcding organization for military research projects: Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency.

The real customers then will be military, police, homeland security and agencies active in special operations (CIA, ...).

From their homepage:

> Organizations worldwide, from DARPA, the US Army, Navy and Marine Corps to Sony Corporation turn to Boston Dynamics for advice and for help creating the most advanced robots on Earth.

So US Army, Navy and the Marine Corps are already giving money to Google for military robotics projects.

I don't think Google has done anymore than MS to cripple WP. With WP, you can use Bing maps, Outlook, skype, cortana and all of the other MS apps that MS fanbois love.

To all the programmers saying they don't want to spend their time building their own desktops:

My point isn't that people in general should be hacking up their own Linux desktops, even if they can. Programmers that like to do that probably should though.

My point is that if you are going to commit to using user-oriented systems like GNOME/KDE, don't do non-standard things and don't complain because system internals seem too complicated. They aren't meant to be hackable/simple!
> Better than GNOME. They are having and developing actual application like geary and midori.

As stated above Geary is built on top of GNOME technology (Vala, EDS), and uses GNOME infrastructure (i.e. bug tracker and git.gnome.org) -- and I'd argue it's built for GNOME.

Mirdori is also developed independently, again building on top of GNOME technology (i.e. WebkitGTK). Based on this thread[1], "Midori does not securely handle unverified TLS certificates, so it's not safe to use for HTTPS."

>This extra time will be spent being old. Whether you're 70 or 100, you will be frail, dim-witted[1], and unattractive

I refute this and so does the article. One of the striking things about this community was not only how many old people there were but how active they were. It mentioned 85 year olds who were still making honey and teaching dance. These people lived so much longer because they lived better and stayed active. Sure they will be less active, aware and attractive than when they were younger but these people are still in far better shape than most 'old' (60-70s) people in our society and many young people.
which is more frightening.

Here’s the crux of the issue: I don’t even know where to start looking. I’ve googled this issue, and found all sorts of answers pointing to polkit, or dbus, or systemd-shim, or cgmanager, or lightdm, or XFCE, or… I found a bug report of this exact problem — Debian #760281, but it’s marked fixed, and nobody replied to my comment that I’m still seeing it.

If this is the crux for the OP I don't really see how this is for Modern Linux. Maybe it's just me (though I doubt it) but what is described here is basically how working with linux (and software in general to a lesser extent) has been for me as long as I've used it. Small annoying problems here and there which take quite some amount of time to find a fix for, if any. And after a while if there are too many of them it becomes irritating and you start a blog post to nag about it :]

Show HN: Weekly newsletter about scalable vector graphics
This is a classic network effects problem. The two OS's are dominant because they are powerful two sided networks (developers + users) and so breaking the duopoly is that much harder. As is typical with these sorts of networks you really need to solve a problem a user or developer has 10X better than the existing networks do. The few times we've seen this happen on the internet are when the new company focuses on a specific vertical (airbnb to craigslist) and/or is aided by a specific technology wave or breakthrough. I suspect the "third" "mobile" OS will succeed similarly i.e. it will either solve for a narrow use case and blow every alternative out of the water and/or be aided by some new technology. Definitely won't happen via brute force...not 8 years in at least

Right I think that was the point of misunderstanding between me and asuidyasiud. If you think of x as an assumption in linear logic for example, then there is a difference if you assume x or x^2 and so on. Since in programming languages such x : I -> A are values of type A, this then ties in with duplication and destruction I was going on about above. I tried to express the sentiment that in many ways it is actually natural to think of those kinds of logic as more fundamental, because it makes the duplication of values (unnatural for things like resources, spaces of state, etc.) explicit or even impossible.

I understand this is a slightly contrived example, but if you work against the system, usually the system will work against you.

I think the problem here stems from improper use of version control.

It basically sums up to not trusting the version control system and keeping a 'backup' with the rest of the code, dead code should be eliminated, if you ever need it again restore it from VCS.

App Store TOS does to a license what a virus does to a binary; they both inject themselves with no respect to what already exist.

Apple's terms are incompatible with any license which do not allow additional terms to be injected. This mean any license, be that proprietary, copyleft, or permissive. If you don't have the authors permission to add additional restrictions, Apple's terms are legally prohibiting you to use it in App Store.

But from a practical point, only GPL apps has so far been pulled from App Store. Proprietary apps are permitted if the author permits the additional restrictions, and permissive licensed apps are so far being left alone, regardless of the arguments from people like Theo (http://undeadly.org/cgi?action=article&sid=20070913014315).

Think about the type of deep integration that Apple-owned

store would.

While I understand the point about Siri, Gmail (of all the Google apps)
seems like a terrible example of the same thing on the Android side (Maps and
its incestuous relationship with Play Services might be a better fit). What does
Gmail do that Microsoft's Outlook app couldn't do if Microsoft were willing to
invest the effort? Maybe I'm missing a feature I don't use, but the best I can
come up with is being bundled with the device, but even there if Microsoft struck
a deal with, say, Verizon, I don't think there's much Google could do about it.

It's all tradeoffs.

There are clear benefits to your IDE remaining unaffected regardless of how badly your program messes up.

(Author here) Continuing our thread from Twitter, one of the things I wanted to say here is that things like pipelining and threading are good, but there is still improvement to be made at the kernel I/O layer.

This is one of the big reasons I like the paper I mention in this post.

If it is in the IP/TCP layers then moving that to user-space does not, by itself, necessarily reduce latency, it merely shifts it elsewhere. If the latency is due to kernel user land memory copies then that is a different matter.

> The experience of a curated, pruned garden vs. a wild west scammy bazaar isn't a good one for users.

But that is a choice. For example, I would prefer to recommend to my parents a system with more granular control over permissions than stock Android, and a market which is more curated than Google Play. It's fairly absurd that they can send off all of their contacts to some random third party server because they installed a flashlight app.

> Choice is great! You can "choose" to install a scam app or the official one.

To avoid that, you want to choose not to have to make that choice, by going to a more curated platform.

I think the key to creating that alternative is by making both Android and HTML5 apps genuinely cross platform. Blackberry, CyanogenMod and/or Sailfish should support the emerging W3C Web API standards and Cordova, and then create a clear target for Android developers to deploy Android apps that don't rely on Play Services.

The real need isn't for a third OS, it's for a real cross-platform development ecosystem, then there will be genuine space for innovation.

Linux has always been the equivalent of a discussion forum with opinions expressed in code.

Everyone has an opinion about Technology X/Y/Z, often strongly held.

But you can't make a usable desktop OS out of opinions. You need a big-picture long-term strategy. There doesn't seem to be a lot of that in most of distro world.

Server Linux has done better because the problem space is (kind of...) smaller and better defined, so strategies and innovations have appeared, and there are clear goals to work towards.
