Tinker and Alliance are looking pretty shaky in the long term - Tinker just dropped out of a tournament and Alliance was unable to play games of theirs earlier today. It looks right now like they'll soon see major changes, disband, or

And I thought it was about cloud9.gg at first glance.

I find it rather crazy that "cockpit", an almost brand new project has its entire backend written in C. Not your typical backend language by any means...

Having spend the last week or so working with client certificates, they could be so much more if browsers implemented a proper interface for managing them, or at least a much more intuitive one than they do at the moment. They work spectacu

Tossed one of my domains in. Awesome idea, took a while to figure out what domain to let go though

Currently, I don't think there's a fully working HAMMER implementation for Linux - there may be a read only one floating around though, IIRC

The fun thing about Bitcoin is the immense latency in moving money (USD) between exchanges, which has at minimum 4 days of transit. This makes just about anything involving multiple exchanges or high frequency (especially arbitrage trading)

I certainly hope you realize that quite a few members of the Wayland core development team are former/current X.org maintainers/core developers.

Now I'm just a little bit disappointed I didn't buy any when I first heard of them... But this feels like the same bubble Bitcoin has had twice before - it spikes then plummets, but it plummets to a point higher than the last drop

It would appear that the title may be cut off, as "error message requests" seems like it would be followed by another word - as in, what is it requesting?

Could you use Docker as a backend on Linux? I feel like it would eliminate a lot of the size overhead, and be significantly easier to ship (a single static binary)

Go has been an absolute blast to use. It's incredibly fun to write, and manages to still be fast after that.

Which is exactly what it'll be. I really hope to keep the userland portable - so Kirk/FreeBSD or Kirk/Darwin could happen in the distant future

I considered Ruby and have worked heavily with it in the past, but it's simply too slow/heavy for this type of programming. I can't believe I left this out of the post, but all/most new code will be written in Go - I&#x2

If there's any confusion, that's absolutely what I plan on doing - but I firmly believe that if it's kept simple/lightweight that it's more than doable. The GUI portions slightly worry me, but they're not happe

I assure you that I won't do that. If I wanted to make a Debian clone I wouldn't be doing this

For me, at this moment, it's simply not a feasible goal to learn the ins and outs of a kernel in any reasonable amount of time. And Kirk doesn't just exist as a blog post, I've done a relatively large amount of work on it, bu

Absolutely agree with you. I struggled with wording this for the longest time - and when I talk about OS development, I'm referring much more to the userland development - package managers, core utilities, shells, init systems, and the

Arch is my distro of choice at the moment - but even it simply teaches how to copy/paste to make things work, never explaining what is happening when you run a command, or how it manages to do that.

by IanChiles 13y ago
Well, I'm much more interested in the state of the Userland, not the Kernel itself. And since Linux is the de-facto FOSS Kernel, it makes sense to base it around that, instead of trying to port the various compilers/tools that I&#

Thanks! There's no problem with them not being configurable enough, the problem is with understanding how they work behind the scenes. The best way, IMHO, to address this, is by starting from nothing, and building it from the ground up

My biggest problem with iOS 7 is Apple's loss of their attention to detail - several of the animations are broken (multitasking gestures on an iPad especially), and the newer typography turns out to be inconsistent throughout. It was i

Firefox as of 23+ uses significantly less memory than Chrome (in my experience - your mileage may vary though)
