I'm a #programmer and #osdev. I value #simplicity above all.

Instead of wasting resources with #SelfDrivingCars, #Games and so on, #AI research should focus to the only true problem that really matter.
#Chatbots that help you reasoning about #OSDEV!
🤣
Teenagers these days grow up with a phone instead of MSDOS or a C64 and how will they ever learn to tinker? How can we transition from play to programming, allowing people to create their own games, like in the old days you could play on a MUD or MUSH (I liked MUSHes better!) and from text adventure to community to programming it had everything. And I want the same thing for the web and messaging. People writing bots. People writing CGI scripts or whatever. I want it all! I want it now!
The #Singularity has nothing to do with #AI or #ML.
It's not about #machines, but about #humans.
We will reach the singularity when everyone will be an #hacker, able to #program, #understand and #modify #software.
Turn all #people to #hackers, if you want #Freedom and #Democracy.
What's all this talking about #GeneralStrike in the #USA?

I feel like #Hamlet.
I cannot find a definitive answer to an important philosophical question.
When you add a node to a tree, are you changing the parent node, the whole tree or are you creating a new node?
#Unix answer is that you send a message to the new node, the new file. Same when you remove it. This smells of an easy answer to a deep question.
Usually this smell means there is a simpler solution waiting to be seen.
Writing the parent directory seems an obvious one. But write what?
We'll meet again... in the "Freedom Camps" for dissidents and journalists.
Never give up, never give in.
Once Trump establishes that the Federal government can hold people who have been accused of no crime, even toddlers, in internment camps on military bases by executive order for an indefinite time, how long do you think it will be before you or someone in your family is taken there?

"Almost every soldier in Iraq has been involved in some sort of incident like that or another, I would say. Their attitude about it was grim, but it wasn’t the end of their world. It was, “Well, kind of wished they’d stopped. We fired warning shots. Damn, I don’t know why the hell they didn’t stop. What’re you doing later, you want to play Nintendo? Okay.” Just a day’s work for them. That stuff happens in Iraq a lot."
This photo that Chris Hondros took in #Iraq at a security checkpoint in 2005, breaks my heart.

@MeimuHakurei @Wolf480pl @eff Julia Reda has been fighting this (and other things) for years. As a Member of Europarliament.
Amelia Andersdotter, also a former MEP< is one of the main reasons we do not have ACTA, and we *do* have Roam-like-at-home and standardization of phone chargers in EU.
So how about some credit where credit's due.

I'd rather suffer the performance hit of #9P than have to deal with embedded #scripting languages in every application.
#Technology is just the continuation of #Politics by other means.

Node9 is a hosted 64-bit operating system based on Bell Lab's Inferno OS, but using the Lua scripting language instead of Limbo and the LuaJIT high performance virtual machine instead of the Dis virtual machine. It also uses the libuv I/O library for maximum portability, efficient event processing and thread management.
