You don't have to wait until expiry. Transfers generally add 1 year of service (for most TLDs), so unless you're already at the limit, you can transfer everything now.


in fact you should not wait till expiration. Some registries refuse transfers if the domain is too close to expiration.


Intel has proposed dropping 32-bit and 16-bit support in the future.

https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/developer/articles/t...


The proposal doesn’t remove 32-bit user land or (I think) virtualization.


X86S allows 32-bit ring3 (userland) but even VMs are stuck in long mode and only support 32-bit code for userland. Booting a VM for a 64-bit OS that has a legacy bootloader with 16-bit or 32-bit code would require software emulation of that code.


It is mentioned in the first paragraph of the README:

shpool is a service that enables session persistence by allowing the creation of named shell sessions owned by shpool so that the session is not lost if the connection drops. shpool can be thought of as a lighter weight alternative to tmux or GNU screen.


I mean, nobody mention Screen here, in comments, when I wrote my comment


Python 2 was even more terse with it's print statement

    print >>sys.stderr, "foo"


Does the ZNS (Zoned Namespaces) spec come close enough?

https://nvmexpress.org/new-nvmetm-specification-defines-zone...


Yes, actually. This looks like a realistic/practical path. Had no idea this was a thing.


There is more technical information at zonedstorage.io which also offers drives for academia and open-source projects.

Is there anything that explains the why and how a bit deeper?

As an example, in the video "Packaging a Gem as a Nix derivation", he basically just and copies and pastes another default.nix, changes some strings and mentions he doesn't understand what 'passthrough.updateScript' does, but just changes a string there too.

This doesn't really help me understand Nix.


I would watch the entire thing in order to get the "full experience" of his tutorial. This touches on things like the CLI vs just syntax.

If you are coming from the perspective of non-NixOS (e.g. HomeManager or just nixpkgs) then maybe start at his rundown of what NixOS is vs HomeManager [1].

Or if you really just want to understand the nix language itself then probably start at 'Demystifying nixpkgs' [2].

I'm not sure if you're trying to imply that Lightning Network is vaporware, but there are currently three implementations that pass the integration tests:

https://github.com/lightningnetwork/lnd https://github.com/ElementsProject/lightning https://github.com/ACINQ/eclair https://cdecker.github.io/lightning-integration/


Oh, please. You and the other replier knew what I meant by "implemented."


"Code written and passing integration tests" seems like a pretty typical definition to me..?


By that definition I've implemented a search engine, several video games and many other projects that never launched.

Lightning Network has not launched, in the sense of, it is not being used by the community it was designed for. And it never will.


Not vaporware but vaporidea. They never solved incentive model to open channel so it is more like real software no one will touch.


What's the problem with the channel-opening incentives? I'm out of that loop, I'm afraid.



Ah, thanks Egor, I hadn't seen that.


You can get indirect exposure to SpaceX through some Fidelity mutual funds.

http://blog.sfgate.com/pender/2015/03/25/see-which-fidelity-...


0.04% of assets. That’s not even worth mentioning.


If the sf gate article is correct, Fidelity had a $84 million investment in SpaceX. This was part of a $1.0 billion round with Google that SpaceX says was just under 10%.[1] Looks like Google owns about 9% of SpaceX (I can't find this spelled out directly anywhere just goggling around).

If SpaceX is valued at about $20 billion, Google owns 9%, and Google's market cap is $720 billion, buying Google gets you 0.25% of that investment into SpaceX. Almost nothing, but better than Fidelity's exposure.

Location: Redmond, WA

Remote: Yes (have spent the last 6 years working remote)

Willing to relocate: No

Technologies: Python, C, Go, x86 Assembly, Linux, Hypervisors (Xen), Distributed Systems (check my resume for more)

Résumé: http://johannes.erdfelt.com/resume-hn.txt

Email: johannes@erdfelt.com

I've done work from low-level BIOS extensions, to Hypervisor development, to Linux kernel development, to Network Services (DNS, SMTP, DHCP, HTTP, TLS, etc) to high level distributed systems.

I've worked as the first engineer at a startup to large multi-national companies.

I'm generally looking for something in the cloud and/or backend internet services, but I'm open to something new as well.
