This is a good example of a poor web site design. If you, like me, do not know what Phosh is and go to their website, it will tell you not much beyond "A user interface for your mobile phone," which could mean pretty much anything. Is it a UI level on top of Android? Is it an idependent mobile OS? How it is better that competition? What are key features and design goals?

Comcast + Netflix. My personal experience few years ago: switched to 8.8.8.8 DNS at home and my Netflix streaming become extrelemly slow.

unfortunately many DNS resolvers are integrated with CDNs. I do want privacy of an independent non-tracking DNS but I also want my video streaming work fast. :(

Reading reports of people objecting datacenters build in their states I wonder how Florida residents feel about the Spaceport ? It will certainly be more distruptive than datacenters.

We may be entering the age of "disposable software" (some people politely call it "on-demand software"). Until recently, coding was a highly specialised skill and was relatively expensive. So writing custom code for personal whimsy was a luxury only software developers could afford. Not anymore.

There are formally compilers (e.g. CompCert https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CompCert ) which are formally proven correct. I think eventually all production compilers will be formally verified.

He should publish a "bring Tesla to small court" kit, with all documents other people in the similar situation can use to sue them.

It should be a benefit of TSA Precheck program that TSA Pre members would not need an extra step of applying for Gate Explorer.

I do not use KDE and wanted just command-line version of it without any Qt dependencies, so I've burned some tokens and produced just that:

I think it is fantastic to have more compiler implementations. It was probably also a fun project to code. What I find lacking in web pages is a motivation. What makes it different from popular compilers? Where is this project heading? What would be potential benefits/use-cases for using this compiler vs others, lessons learned, etc.?

Hardware-supported capability-based architectures like CHERI are great. I am lilttle skeptical about adpotion prospects of software-only implementation of fat pointers for languages like C and C++.
vzaliva

This is yet another variant of the "fat pointers" technique, which has been implemented and rejected many times due to either insufficient security guarantees, inability to cross non-fat ABI boundaries, or the overhead it introduces.

> Russians are essentially the only truly literate people left. The vast majority of Russians read regularly, more than anywhere else in the world.

Not really.

According to Nielsen, 59% of Russians read at least weekly. High, but not the highest in the world, and behind China:

Several European countries have a very strong reading rates, some exceeding 70% of adults reading books annually:

What would it show? If he logged in to Santoshi's email account and sent an email to his personal account, the metadata would be in order, and we would learn little from it.

So, I started it and was doing something but there is no obvious way to exit. I tried Q,q, Ecc, :q. I tried `man lnav` in separate terminal - but no man page is provided. `ps` shows 3 processes which would not die with SIGTERM, have to `kill -9`. But nice web site :)
