natas··on AmigaOS 3.2
pardon my naivety, but is AmigaOS the longest-lived operating system to date that is still receiving maintenance fixes?
natas··on <1% of homeless Portlanders found permanent housing in 10 months of city sweeps
You probably don't live in portland. Guaranteed 100% of homeless there are heavy drug addicts.

RIP Rackspace
natas··on The entire crypto ecosystem is a ponzi
There were times when people believed the earth was flat, and astronomers were called heretics.
natas··on The Rune Programming Language
I like the syntax a lot
natas··on In Praise of Plan 9
understood, thanks!
natas··on Turn Raspberry Pi’s GPIO into an FM Transmitter (2012)
this is completely illegal.
natas··on In Praise of Plan 9
Compared to Linux or OpenBSD, is Plan9 as "secure", i.e. randomization of tcp seq numbers, cryptography, authentication, mitigation of spectre and hardware vulnerabilities etc. Or it needs some improvements? Meaning, if I had a simple C application that could easily be ported to plan9 but it has to be super secure, would 9front be advisable, or it's better to stick with Linux or OpenBSD for the time being?
natas··on In Praise of Plan 9
So essentially, based on the above, the security of Plan 9 depends on the identification of a host? Meaning that if one trusted host is compromised in the network, then you can just mount anyone's devices or filesystems?
natas··on Classic 50mm “Normal” Lens
If I had only one lens, it would be a 50mm prime. I have 3, mind you, a 35mm, 50mm and 90mm, but 99% of the time, I only attach the 50mm to the camera; zero regrets.
natas··on Source Code for SunOS 4.1.3 (1992)
I wish it was portable to ultrasparc (sun4u) or x86_64.... it would be quite amazing.

natas··on Show HN: I built an extension for analyzing rental properties in Zillow
Zillow has sent cease and desist letters, and sometimes sued people using the data from their site. You might be okay if you're not in the US though.

natas··on Kerf Time Series Lang and Columnar DB Open Sourced
I think, please correct me if I'm wrong, that kerf's db doesn't have support for keyed tables?
natas··on Kerf Time Series Lang and Columnar DB Open Sourced
Ryan, could we get a kerf-friendly version of sqldashboards?
natas··on OpenVMS v9.2 for x86 is Available
Other than Ikea, why would a company run this as opposed to Linux or whatever? I understand clustering is cool, feels like a mainframe of sorts, I can probably come close to that with kubernetes. What are the other compelling arguments, there is no software for this platform that isn't readily available for Linux. ELI5 me.

natas··on On the Closing of 42 Silicon Valley from 42 co-founder Kwame Yamgnane
Yeah, it's just not worth it, there are no real teachers, I doubt taking that class will land you a job anywhere.
natas··on On the Closing of 42 Silicon Valley from 42 co-founder Kwame Yamgnane
I am a Fortune 500 recruiter; I'd exercise caution if you intend to put unaccredited companies (as opposed to schools) on your resume. You might as well leetcode, it will save you some money and you will get better results.
