I am not sure an atomic bomb is a good comparison, I have heard nuclear reactors possess many multiples of radioactive material than a bomb.

What was the name of that version control tool before CVS, RVCS? Back in 2007 I had heard one very big name hardware company using that for version control and planning to move to CVS as they thought the former was beginning to show its age

I disagree. The rest of the world gets talent back at the cost of those talented individuals. You are one individual starting a startup and the government, the people, everybody is against you. You must own a strong corporation with R&D

I don't think this answer holds true anymore, i.e. the newbies who are a year old would claim comment quality is going low. I think it now has become the norm. Why not just aim for a standard near the top quality submissions?

haha the losers are partnering up. Nice move. This was visible from many years ago. Starting from details like how microsoft windows annoys you to install updates or creates pop ups and how slow your machine gets after a while. Also take No

Why do new build systems have to use some clunky old make style syntax? For me speed is hardly a primary goal. A build system must be understandable, readable and easy to debug. For starters, it should have an easy to read syntax. If you ha

The only reason GNU/Hurd is still a popular subject of discussion is its historical fame. There is no concrete reasoning behind this project anymore as to why it may find adoption. It is not easy to write operating systems in the first plac

The reason is it is the second best. It doesn't solve the problems the ipad solves any better. If it tried to solve only slightly different problems, it could still have a good market share even if it wasn't as famous as the ipad.

You don't really have to have networking or files to write programs. Currently in a baremetal embedded system (I am including the RTOSes) you can write programs in C or C++. It would be very useful to be able to write programs with a main()

Interesting. What would it take to run this on a baremetal ARM processor? There are many embedded ARM processors out there and ones running linux are a small fraction of them. There is also no reliable scripting interpreter for baremetal us

Yes I thought about this idea. For example it would be nice to have a .fpga section in the ELF files and one could load images as part of OS file execution. It is a nice idea and I would try to push this as a technology if I was Xilinx or A

I've researched this topic for a while in university, and the idea was to keep a general purpose FPGA as a programming device, and load preconfigured images to it when needed. For example load up an encryption module when encryption intensi

I believe non-english speaking countries are hard for startups. I would personally not choose a country other than UK or U.S. How do I handle company accounts in Spanish? How do I deal with government? In UK government is easy to deal with,

Codezero was a result of dissatisfaction from earlier L4 kernels and we worked through the engineering details. It is a simpler kernel with a smaller API, linux virtualization interface and source code. We also have better ARM support inclu

I think you are missing the point. The summary of the article is Microsoft may be a monopoly but it is not a danger for fragile new technology startups. They retain their existing monopoly but world domination is not in their radar anymore.

"A few days ago I suddenly realized Microsoft was dead." haha that's a great sentence to start an article.

Lean or not, one big lesson I learned is not to implement a feature until somebody asks for it. This is a surprisingly difficult thing to do, if your mindset has been focused on building things for a long time. If you are not aiming for com

thing is, internet is a fragile market. Especially in social, if something else becomes hot, users can go away very quickly. It's not like some manufacturing business where you build relationships over years. Some possible risks: * Orkut-li

legacy RISC mode? last time I checked it was called the ARM mode, which is the absolute standard. Thumb has benefits, but there are also limitations which is why I wouldn't call it a replacement.

We don't know the whole story but if you hold that much grudge in yourself this is how you end up. Bad karma brought him bad karma.

Trouble is in a startup you always try new things you are not skilled at.
