I am not sure an atomic bomb is a good comparison, I have heard nuclear reactors possess many multiples of radioactive material than a bomb.

What would be the risk of unhealthy radiation fallout in California? Could the radiation clouds move over the Pacific? Also these geiger counters, is it something civilians could b…

What was the name of that version control tool before CVS, RVCS? Back in 2007 I had heard one very big name hardware company using that for version control and planning to move to …

Very old news.

I disagree. The rest of the world gets talent back at the cost of those talented individuals. You are one individual starting a startup and the government, the people, everybody is…

I don't think this answer holds true anymore, i.e. the newbies who are a year old would claim comment quality is going low. I think it now has become the norm. Why not just aim for…

why does he say they failed?

haha the losers are partnering up. Nice move. This was visible from many years ago. Starting from details like how microsoft windows annoys you to install updates or creates pop up…

Why do new build systems have to use some clunky old make style syntax? For me speed is hardly a primary goal. A build system must be understandable, readable and easy to debug. Fo…

The only reason GNU/Hurd is still a popular subject of discussion is its historical fame. There is no concrete reasoning behind this project anymore as to why it may find adoption.…

Sure, please do. It would be helpful to exchange ideas.

It's pretty interesting. Do you handle Android and TV broadcast in separation? We build a hypervisor for android on omap processors ( http://b-labs.com ). It might be interesting t…

The reason is it is the second best. It doesn't solve the problems the ipad solves any better. If it tried to solve only slightly different problems, it could still have a good mar…

You don't really have to have networking or files to write programs. Currently in a baremetal embedded system (I am including the RTOSes) you can write programs in C or C++. It wou…

Interesting. What would it take to run this on a baremetal ARM processor? There are many embedded ARM processors out there and ones running linux are a small fraction of them. Ther…

Yes I thought about this idea. For example it would be nice to have a .fpga section in the ELF files and one could load images as part of OS file execution. It is a nice idea and I…

I've researched this topic for a while in university, and the idea was to keep a general purpose FPGA as a programming device, and load preconfigured images to it when needed. For …

This is one of my favorite lessons learned, also covered here: http://www.joelonsoftware.com/articles/fog0000000069.html

I believe non-english speaking countries are hard for startups. I would personally not choose a country other than UK or U.S. How do I handle company accounts in Spanish? How do I …

"These statements aren’t just true about the product — sure, they might have a crufty old VB6 app and you have the new Node.js hotness. They are equally true about the customer acq…

Codezero was a result of dissatisfaction from earlier L4 kernels and we worked through the engineering details. It is a simpler kernel with a smaller API, linux virtualization inte…

I think you are missing the point. The summary of the article is Microsoft may be a monopoly but it is not a danger for fragile new technology startups. They retain their existing …

"A few days ago I suddenly realized Microsoft was dead." haha that's a great sentence to start an article.
