I'd read that

I disagree entirely. I put my projects on my own site. I see no reason to put then on github in any way shape or form. What will it offer to me that my site does not?

I know. I just think it is wrong

Every time he comes to the area they put a huge [30-mile-radius, 18,000 foot tall] no-fly zone for all but commercial air traffic around him. Why inconvenience so many pilots? Is he that afraid of his…

1. http://www.azulsystems.com/presentations/qcon-london-2011 2. fair but irrelevant. the argument was that there is no way to make GC happen. It was wrong. I never objected to th…

Can you give an example of any codebase not using any new or delete at all that compares in size? "Right or Wrong" are irrelevant in the face of "Practical or Not". The fact that a…

not even sure where to start... 1. plenty of garbage collectors do not pause all threads or wait for memory to be full. 2. you CAN ask for gc anytime you want in java and in C# (you need not wait for …

It is pretty entertaining to watch the bitcoin crowd slowly reinvent all the controls that exist in the existing monetary systems as they slowly learn what they are for. One lesson down, how many to g…

this story is a great example of this, but there are others

These sorts of generalizations do not end well. For example, if you really think that "There aren’t people who are A players and C players. Just people who are performing at an A level and at a C…

Well, I did get the card to fully work using my own kernel and ramdisk and filesystem, even bringing up ubuntu. Just had to do some dirty things to the kernel. If you're curious, the linked artic…

none of 1...3 applies here, though. just #4
comment
Not quite. any part that links with kernel must be GPL. other parts may not be. See how NVIDIA/ATI do it for examples
comment
Do you think it would be worthwhile to try? I really would love to see the proper and complete source released for this card - it is a cute and capable device, and having to hack module.c to make use …

Wonder if FSF will care about this? Or if they can help.

How about some physics about this? Here is some... http://dmitry.gr/index.php?r=06.%20Thoughts&proj=01.%20Hyper... …

just compile, hook up ram, and run :)

Emulator supports framebuffer emulation, and I have run gnome on this. I have not tried KDE :)

I considered GPL, for a while, actually. I'll think of it some more

I've done plenty of practical things a while back (palmpowerups in PalmOS days) but nowadays I am relaxing (I work at Google and I fly planes for fun). I'll go back to doing practical things with a p…

I handled it thusly: while reading or writing RAM, interrupts are off. Between bytes read they are re-enabled. This means that the longest refresh delay is the length of a ram read/write. This is why …
