There’s never been a better time to be a mouse

Oh! That’s very cool

My gut instinct is always that using traditional kernels in a unikernel way is a bit suboptimal because it doesn’t become a “library operating system” in the same way that Mirage does.

It's a significant discount from previous funding rounds according to Techcrunch: "Giphy last raised $72 million at a reported $600 million valuation at the end of 2016"

I’ve been checking layoffs.fyi every day and it is incredibly bleak

What’s the relevance of that to this post?

I studied compiler design at university and the subject matter here was a lot more approachable, but in that, it sacrifices a lot of the theory.

I worked through this soon after it came out and I enjoyed it a great deal

This is a great idea. Any plans for a web version?

I wonder how long it was between this password crypt approach and the first practical cracker for them

I’m getting a lot of errors and failed requests

I enjoyed this much more than Thinking Fast and Slow

These are all pretty generic Ruby things - the first file is just configuring which components of gemstash to auto load, the other two are most probably auto generated when you make a new gem

On the London transport network you've been able to pay at the barriers with a contactless credit card in the same way as you would use an Oyster card for a couple of years now. It's weird that other transport networks haven't adopted it yet

What makes it impossible to emulate?

I guess the profit margin comes from the $99/user fee

Being unconstructively snarky about a concept that another member of this forum has presented is both poor manners and defies the guidelines linked in the bottom of the page

No, it's all closed source. The binaries aren't publicly distributed either, they seem to be the result of leaks.

I love how non-corporate the Tesla blog is: "It is deeply ironic that the only customer who apparently believes that this document prevents him from talking to NHTSA is also the same one who talked to NHTSA. If our agreement was meant to prevent that, it obviously wasn’t very good."

I wonder if anyone has experimented with using something like this to make an incredibly inexpensive assistive technology interface

I wonder if clustering will be available in the cloud service?

We use a single server on Influx's cloud service for some internal metrics and it has been running without any interruptions for >6mo.

I think he may be confused with LinkedIn

Why has Google never tried to monetise Google Images results in the same way?

My instinct is that they have considered it but that image search lacks the same intent that makes AdWords clicks so valuable to Google.

Not really, a proxy fight is when activist investors persuade a majority of the votes to support their vision for the business.

This is one of the weirdest articles I have ever seen on WSJ

I think the real problem in education is that credentials have become prized over learning.

I had a read of the website, but I don't really understand what people use Shen for, but presumably, it has some benefits over other lisps?

Can anyone enlighten me?
