It's possible to shake off OpenVPN and TLS without shaking off use of tun/tap. I use a tun/tap based "VPN" (overlay) and I quite like it. One could even add NaCl to it if they were so inclined. I sometimes think A

"Nothing stops you..." Except my lack of creativity using k at this point. Thanks for this. As a k noob, I wonder: is thinking of solutions using iteration and control structures a bad habit, at least until I have command of the r

What if someone took c.c, k.h, linenoise.c and linenoise.h and made a tiny k4 REPL for UNIX with commandline history? Would the k community appreciate this as useful, pragmatic solution? I am a BSD /emul/linux, /bin/sh,

I know that capstone, keystone and unicorn are marketed to the "security community" but these projects are some of the most promising I've seen for programming in general, e.g., for the few people who still might want to writ

Silly question: Historically, did anyone ever attempt to create the APL primitives as separate utilities? The crazy idea that keeps recurring in my mind is that one could have a UNIX userland made of APL primitives. k's mmap approach,

The AS Macroassembler by Alfred Arnold (1992) still compiles on the unpopular OS I'm using, with a quick edit to sysdefs.h.

Easier: Add /amp before /articles. (This has been posted on HN before.) In fact, "amphtml" is the first link on the page. Follow this link to see the full article. However the /amp URL does not retrieve comments l

Fortunately the two approaches are not mutually exclusive. There are no rules about how the "distributed Web" must be constructed. As the old saying goes, there's more than one way to do it.

I think there's a lot of historical evidence over the last few thousand years that people naturally form small communities, or at least small groups within large communities. Today, people can, in theory, choose from among billions of

Sybil attacks do not work in small communities that members may choose to form where the members already know each other. If a system forces all users to be part of some large, Borg-like, distributed hash table, or ledger, then by my de

"To be honest, they're probably buying the users, not the product." I thought the same when they invested in "Facebook" and gave some kid with a website 17M or so. And then when they overpaid for Skype. I would not

AWS is fine as long as... you do not want to control it with shell scripts and without a large scripting language. (No Perl, Python, Ruby, Go, etc.) I tried this when I first experimented with AWS after I read the story behind it, i.e., the

This is common not just in Intel chips but in all electronics. Instead of making several versions, each with with more features, only one version is made that contains all possible features. Whether they are turned on or off is what correla

FreeBSD. Got it. But not OpenBSD, NetBSD, or Solaris. Interesting how even with a relatively simple utility like tr, changes were made.

That's GNU, I'm guessing. BSD is a little different.

Negative coding. Eliminate cruft. Drop "features". Go small. Stop modifying the same program to do more . Finish. Open to interpretation but that's my take. You use the word "elegance" and I think that's

This post is about more than emacs/vi. HN title should be renamed "Unix taste" because that is the subject line. I wish more programmers thought like McIlroy. Good taste is rare in programming. He has it.

Call me cynical but I say this is doubtful. Microsoft will probably buy it and kill it. Or the QNX patents will go to a NPE ("patent troll").

Not sure about "original" as in AT&T, but certainly lots of files going back to the 80's and 90's. Lots of Sun's legacy to be found.

"It was designed to make it easy to write quick, "one-off" programs in C." OK, so it just so happens this is what I love to do. I like writing small programs and continually trying to improve them. So I guess I should b

"... so its system calls are going to be necessarily more complicated." Are you implying that an increase in "power" can never be achieved through increasing simplicity?

Did the authors benchmark against kdb? e.g., run a single k interpeter on each CPU, then divide and conquer Isn't it faster to do parsing in memory and avoid I/O wherever possible?

I regularly use non-printable ASCII characters as delimiters. I just confirm first that they are not in the input. I am going to start using the ones you mentioned. This solution is one I rarely if ever see used. The other solution whic

Is it not OK to criticize Microsoft on HN? This title was changed to remove any mention of Windows. Just curious.
