If you stumble across a labs URL (like in the article), you can usually just replace "plan9.bell-labs.com" with "9p.io". For instance, the link to Miller's RPi build that was linked to should be updated to http:&#x

Doesn't seem that realistic. I reloaded a bunch of times, and didn't get a single one where the same command can mean 3 different context-sensitive things that each take different arguments but are all named the same command.

Having written my own git client, I can tell you that "the most complicated part will be the command-line arguments parsing logic" doesn't go away. I wouldn't be surprised to wake up one day and find someone published a

The sadest part about this is that it's all because the stigma against mental health problems is so strong that people are this outraged over research that might even suggest their illness has a psychological component.

Unless your current reviews are really superficial probably not. You can only review at your level of understanding, so if they're asking for more depth to your code reviews you probably need to develop a deeper understanding of the

It's a Plan 9 fork, the Plan 9 papers and man pages would describe the system architecture pretty well. Most of the changes I know of that they've done (UFS support, ELF executables, standard C without the Plan 9 extensions, a dif

For pretty much my whole life universities have been telling people that they need to go to university to get a better job (where "better" == "higher paid", sometimes implicitly and sometimes explicitly phrased that way.

Sure, you could, but then you need to fork the Go compiler too (and hopefully eventually get your GOOS target mainlined, which seems unlikely unless your OS gets popular) or you could do your userspace in something other than Go and impleme

The Go assembly language is actually one of the things that make doing something like this difficult. Go uses the Plan9 assembly syntax but doesn't support GNU asm syntax. gccgo uses GNU asm syntax but doesn't support Plan9 assemb

I started writing a kernel in Go a while ago (and since abandoned it due to not having time.. I got as far as having a simple built in shell that let you do ls and cat on a FAT filesystem). The part about memory allocation and virtual memor

Thanks! I wasn't sure since it says that there's no window decorations.

This looks incredibly similar to a WM I'm writing.. except mine is written in Go using literate programming, as an excuse to try to do something substantial with LP. In the last screenshot, what's the header at the top of the scre

Is the plan to use grumpc to transpile the code to Go and then work in Go in the future, or is the plan to keep coding in Python and add a grumpy step before deploying? (If the former, you could just update the code to use the standard Go J

It depends what you mean by "open." Anyone can subscribe to the go-codereview mailing list. Anyone can submit a patch, but you need to a) use gerrit and b) sign a (digital) contribitors license agreement with Google. It's &qu

"it's backed by Google" is the reason I avoided Go for years and is still the only reason I'm nervous using it.

That's odd, because in the martial arts I do (aikido), I've always been amazed by how similar of a state it puts you into: trying to get into the zone, concentrate on what you're doing right now, and block any other distrac

The Plan9 raspberry pi is probably the easiest way to get Plan 9 up and running, but not very powerful. The default image only has a 2gb partition. If you're interested in venti, it's a difficult process that needs to be manually

I was pretty disappointed by the title too. The question "Does technical debt that's been already accrued lead to the rejection of new pull requests?" is what I was expecting. Instead, the question they're asking is &quo

Thanks for pointing that out! I thought the project was dead. I was really interested in it when it came out and disappointed that it didn't seem to go anywhere, but I think part of the problem is that it was too complicated to use and

This is something I threw together that I've been finding pretty useful in the last couple days, and I figure other people might be interested in trying out. It's a tool to treat an "issues/" directory on the files
