When did this writing with no capitalization start to become a thing? I'm seeing it too often now. It's pretentious crap and quickly leads to me thinking that the writer doesn't want to be taken seriously, so why read it?

It probably starts with the habit of writing words without using the Shift key or diacritics. Just to be quick. At least, that’s how I’ve noticed this behavior in myself.

A moshpit is the only consensual form of non-sexual violence outside of sports.

There are also some medieval reenactment groups who do some real battles (with rules of course) and that is totally about fighting with each other. Something like a fight club but set in medieval context.

Good news for China, bad news for US. But don't forget China still emit 16B compared to US who emit 6B tons of CO2

Startup founder here -- we tried it, and it feels bloated (Java!), bureaucratic and overcomplicated for what it is. Something like Redis queues or even ZMQ probably suffices for 90% of use cases. Maybe in hyper-scaled applications that need to be ultraperformant (e.g., realtime trading, massive streaming platforms) is where Kafka comes into play.

Couldn’t disagree more… if you go the ZMQ you are left alone handling many things you get in Kafka for free. If you have any sort of big data problems then good luck. You are going to reinvent the wheel.

The page contains link to a manifesto/description: https://notes.pault.ag/tpl/

I think that's a more interesting read than the linked page.

haddr · 5 months ago

Actually the manifesto is linked in the second paragraph. Reading this page and then the manifesto was good experience for me.

There is this theory of „adjacent possible”, that quite well explains why the technology develops the way it does. Some enabler technologies or inventions or even economy are just not just there yet for next thing to happen.

Is there actually any browser that could store streaming content before displaying it, after all decoding etc?

The counterarguments are really weak to refuse the analogy. They actually might convince a more aware reader that the opposite is true. E.g. Voluntary participation argument asserts that everyone has choice. This is equally true as saying that an alcoholic can simply stop drinking. In the economy where the winner takes all this is not that easy…

Hi. I'm Dan Aloni, original author of this project. It still warms my heart to see this pops in HN every few years. The others who have worked on it and myself are keeping that site as the good relic that it obviously should be :)

It still amazes me how breakthrough it was to have that working, given the lack of hardware virtualization for PCs in late 2003.

haddr · a year ago

It seems that today we can achieve similar functionality in fundamentally different ways (WSL, WSL2/virtualisation, Cygwin, etc.) What in your opinion is today's closest solution to colinux? and why we don't see such clever solutions today?

It’s a pity that this project died. I used it and it was really awesome.
