I think it's very common - its just what a 'normie' is depends on your particular poison... it seems to have been incorporated in a lot of hobbies/niches to refer to anyone not deep in the niche ?

Never heard of HarmonyOS before - looking at the website, it doesn't seem to mention being capability based, but it is 'distributed' ??

I'll insert my standard plug for Genode/Sculpt OS here... Capability based, and used/maintained commercially: https://genode.org/

I mostly remember it from BBS's - it was _the_ way to run a multi-line BBS for a while. GEOS was pretty cool too - amazing what you can fit in 64K if use a big enough hammer :-D

yeah - growing up in Claremont NH, right across the connecticut river from Vermont, it was cool to see a few 'local' places in the article

As a counterpoint, I've worked remotely since like 2000 ... It gets easier and more 'normal' every year. So I wouldn't worry about it too much.

Sounds like they're having a 'NSA Moment'. After the leaks, there was a Bunch of high profile stories about employees leaving after their neighbors/friends/normies found out the sorts of stuff NSA was up to....

I used to use LOADLIN.exe - worked pretty, IIRC

I never had one, but apperently they tasted much better then the current variety (which IIRC, is in danger of suffering the same fate) IIRC, there was actually a huge marketing push because people wouldn't each the current variety ? PS

The sad part wasn't the bubble bursting... It was watching all the potential being squandered and the internet basically being relegated to click farming and selling people crap they don't need. All the really cool stuff seems to

It has been done... We used to get our POP gear built out from Dell (?) in shipping containers - pre-racked, wired, and cooled - just add network/power feeds. We'd have them dropped places we needed more capacity but there wasn&#

Thanks for the overview - I'd never heard of Kemal, nor the ARM support!

Oh .. Hopefully, they can get sorted out. Thanks - I appreciate the update :-)

Nice to see Crystal is still going strong 10+ years later ! I was never a Ruby coder, but I'm surprised it didn't get more adoption. Is there a reason ? I figured it was supposed to be like 'Ruby++' and eventually most R

Yeah - writing styles have really changed over the years. Last time I ran a business document thru Grammarly, I was told it wasn't written at a 6(8?) grade level and was too complex :-P When I first started out, I was taught you use p

yeah - that's like PCBWay, et al. You can make boards yourself (even etch your own if you want to). But a lot of people opt. for the convenience of out-sourcing it.

by mech422 5mo ago
Yeah - I've tried a bunch of them, and nothing's really perfect but those seem to be good enough for lightweight use.

I tend to use 'bat' or 'glow' though I've tried 'mdlook' and 'mdcat' as well.

Hey! Thanks for E! It was my daily driver back in the day :-) Pretty cool to see it could run on cell phones as well! Thats some pretty tight code! :-D

LOL - this is great. Always cool to see people do weird shit just for the fun of it - congrats!

yeah - I wish the 'Hacker' part of 'HackerNews' got more attention. Last few years it often feels more like "VC-Buzzword-of-the-day-News" - AI is just the most recent cycle.

Hey! I resemble that comment :-P (I still tend to use apt-get out of habit...)

wow - I thought it was called 'ideation' or 'brainstorming'. he didn't give it a 'spec', he started a conversation with it to see if 'something actionable comes up' - which you actually quoted, b
