I am interested in reverse engineering, operating systems, and compilers. Always happy to chat.

I will admit I never expected to open the front page of HN in 2021 and read a comment about someone who had read The Overstory. Richard Powers is the preeminent American novelist of our time. With respect to all his…
> More than 80% of the aid to USSR was delivered after the Battle of Stalingrad was won by the USSR, and the outcome of the war was pretty much settled. If you think WWII was settled in February of '43 then that says…
> Frankly, it it not a coincidence that Silicon Valley and companies like SpaceX are in the US. They are direct results of the military ecosystem that has developed there. SpaceX is the direct result of a South African…
> Ww2 in Europe was largely won by the USSR. This comment is unrelated to the discussion you are replying to, but I'll give it a brief response. First, all you need to know about whether the Soviet efforts in WW2 and…
> If I was an American, I wouldn't want to be footing the bill for Global Security either. There is a deep and nuanced conversation to be had here, though I will say fourstar already made one important point very…
Years ago I took 6.828 at MIT which is an operating systems engineering course for which Xv6 was designed. The part I found most useful as a student was the fact that the entire operating system printed out into a nice…
This is really excellent, thanks for being willing to share Colin. It's an impactful essay and the last paragraph in particular hits very hard. I'm a big fan of your work and the path you have taken!
Generally in professional online tournaments there is not a tournament official onsite. Players are competing from their homes. Instead, tournaments require several Zoom sessions from multiple angles in an attempt to…
Finance Theory I by Prof. Andrew Lo: https://ocw.mit.edu/courses/sloan-school-of-management/15-40.... You can view the first lecture here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HdHlfiOAJyE&list=PLUl4u3cNGP.... Prof. Lo taught…
For those curious, the full position name is Under Secretary of Defense for Research and Engineering USD(R&E), a position in its first conception held by Vannevar Bush.
> We’re 50 different states with a federal government, which doesn’t have public health as one of its assigned roles. COVID is clearly a national security issue, which is squarely a matter for the federal government.…
Currently the federal government has a wide range of powers over reservation land such as the ability to prosecute crime. For better or for worse, Congress can expand these powers at any time to include dissolving the…
The biggest reason would be that the people of Maryland oppose retrocession. [1] You cannot make Maryland take back land they do not want without something like an amendment to the constitution. Each year DC pays more…
The racism aspect has been well covered elsewhere. In addition to this, it is the battle flag of an illegal militia who killed U.S. soldiers. Opposing this clearly has an extremely strong moral foundation. Your…
Your entire premise is built on a faulty foundation-- step 1 in your summary is an illegal act and treason. At the time of succession they were firmly aware the United States considered it as such. After the war, Texas…
How can someone be "defending" themselves when they initiated hostilities? [1] Unilateral succession is illegal. Those flying the confederate flag were not defending themselves, they were committing treason. Our Union…
It is the flag flown by an armed group that killed soldiers in the United States Army, is it not? [1] This fact gets lost in the debate. No American should fly the flag of any group that targeted and killed members of…
Canvasing in Ohio is a blast. I did it once and the field office was based out of a recently shuttered gambling den. Getting yelled at on someone's front porch is unfiltered democracy!
> But I still believe that whenever you have an office you are creating a community of employees who will have a different relationship to those who are working remotely. Fully concur. Senior leadership needs to lead by…
We'll have to see. As another person already pointed out, VMWare has experimented with ESXi on ARM and they claim their customers could realize significant cost savings by migrating to ARM [1]. So if they've already…
Broadly speaking yes. Generally, hypervisors mediate access to shared hardware whereas emulators implement simulated hardware in software. The very first hypervisors worked using dynamic binary translation. They would…
I agree, as I mentioned the debate about "journalism" has no relevance when it comes to computer intrusion and some of the other crimes in the indictment. It is a good point that it could bear some relevance on jury…
Your comment is well taken. However, I would point out that with respect to the disclosure counts there is some legal relevance to the frequent message board debate about whether he is a "journalist" or not. The false…
It is very likely that ARM-based Macs will lack a performant hypervisor upon release. We will have to see how VMWare responds. I'd bet it will inspire new products and innovation and the desktop space will move towards…
If you have a life and death emergency you can still get a passport within 72 hours. Despite the phrasing this also includes things like a close family member getting injured. Aside from that yes you may need to wait.…
