See ATC'13 How to Run POSIX Apps in a Minimal Picoprocess (https://www.usenix.org/system/files/conference/atc13/atc13-h...). I would say it's a POSIX emulator OS.

I used to (and still do) listen to Chaconne and Goldberg variations all day when I was writing papers. Praise Bach!

Really cool project! It reminds me of TockOS from SOSP'17 which is also written in Rust but designed for extremely resource-constrained devices.

Well my first thought on this is multitaskers have reduced their RAM size and I'm completely lost.

C'mon. Not even your own Drawbridge project is supported in Windows...

Never thought I'd see this on here...There is no need for all the complications like IF, etc. This game is only about your caloric deficient and surplus.

IDK about systems programming, but one thing I do know:

Expand a little then it becomes the probabilistic graphical model.

Your numerous citations and that point 2) you made form an embarassing contrast but it's adorable though.

Very neat work. I understand about ext-family and those fs that have a clear boundary of the data/metadata block -- they can be annotated and identified later. Then how about NTFS where metadata and data can mix in one block? Is there any potential challenge or same approach can still apply?
matachuan | 7 years ago | on: How to scale a distributed system [pdf]
Another quick hint: always make things work first then profile and optimize it. This happens when my colleagues were building a stream processing engine that scales up. At first, they start with all those fancy fine-grained locks but it turns out the final result just does not scale at all. They have to retreat to the version with some big locks and then figure out what was happening and how to solve it.

Correct -- you should at least try and then make a fair judgment of yourself. However, that judgment is still hard to make.

"Anyone can do anything" is a big lie -- people just find it hard to admit themselves are just as normal as anybody else.

In that matter, don't you think it's the financial status that pushes all the ideas back? There is a fundamental tradeoff between resources spent on individuals vs total resources.
