$89/month is in New York. $15/week is in Boston.

Any specific recommendations from that set? I was looking at Qemu earlier but I'm curious to hear from HN folks who have had experience with these emulators.

I became interested in ARM assembly after reading the x86 assembly Forth tutorial that was recently posted on HN. Lacking an ARM processor, though, I'm wondering what emulation opt…

Tomorrow I'm scheduled to interview someone for a developer job. I'm a programmer working on GPU computing and the candidate would fill a similar role. Being a recent graduate, tho…

Worked well for me recently when Linode crashed and burned, it let me know almost right away.

With ViEmu it's my favourite environment in which to write and, more importantly, debug code.

A minor point, but C# will generate simple getters and setters for you automatically with syntax like "type Property { get; private set; }". As soon as you want to do anything inte…

Khronos is working on C++ bindings. But having the core API in pure C should make adding bindings to other languages a (relatively) easy thing to do.

Nginx also supports server-side includes: http://wiki.nginx.org/NginxHttpSsiModule

My feeling is that the numbers are skewed because of the bias in the people choosing to report their relationship status. For the countries with a low number of reported single peo…

Yes, Cowan wants to buy ARM processors. I believe he is planning on soliciting funding from the Mathematics Endowment Fund this term. (disclosure: I'm the MEF Director)

Ah, I guess the course requirements have changed in the intervening years. We got somewhat less time to work on the OS "thanks" to renovations in the lab; none of us had time to ge…

You're right, targeting the x86 architecture added a lot of complexity without any tangible benefit. Poring over the subpar Intel documentation consumed an inordinate amount of tim…

Ah, thanks for clarifying things. Now I have the code licensed under an MIT license. Out of curiosity, what are the implications of changing the license on software you've already …

Demonstrating that the OS was real-ish time consisted of showing that (1) it never dynamically allocates memory, (2) it uses constant-time algorithms. More practically I did a bunc…

Aha, well I'm an only child! Either way, I added some text saying everything is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 2.5 Canada License; thanks for the advice. I'll plead …

It was fun! Well, fun modulo writing and debugging all the code in three months. As for drivers, the OS really only interfaces with 8250 UARTs; both the VT100 terminal and the Mark…

I wrote a toy operating system for school that I recently(ish) released to the world. It comes with source code and design documents so I thought it might be interesting for people…

That's a good point, about responsibility. My glib comment on a change of scenery wasn't very insightful. For the first time in San Fransico I lived alone and knew nobody so it was…
