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

You forgot the Stabs!

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 so…

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 pus…

LOL - True Dat !! Thanks!

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 th…

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 droppe…

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

Sounds like 'advogato' for github... Social trust metrics https://web.archive.org/web/20170715120119/http://advogato.o...

Huh - I don't remember Atmosphere ... just VRML ? Thanks for the link!

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 t…

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 comple…

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.

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.
