You could use the shared ring buffers scheme to replace essentially all syscalls and similar things in any context. Think gpu drivers, memory controllers, etc. It could be a universal interface for all communication that has to go through some kind of expensive security barrier.

on: SKYACTIV-X: first commercial gasoline engine to use compression ignition
I usually go at 75-80 on a "55" highway for my daily commute, never had issues even while passing cop cars. In general, as long as you're not driving like an idiot (switching 3 lanes without signalling) or running old tags, or basically have a red flag hanging, they won't bother you. Although if they do stop your for one of these reasons, they'll probably also ticket you for speeding. Speed limits are enforced far more strictly in residential areas though.

on: GitHub was down
Git supports multiple remote repositories. Have github be your main repo, keep a mirror locally or on another service (updated using hooks), and switch to it if github fails.

on: Did the Intercept bungle the NSA leak?
I'm not doubting that the NSA would have figured out the source eventually, yellow dots or not, but I think it's a fair criticism to say the Intercept did not have to publish a picture of the document in full, instead of transcribing the contents.

on: “Restoring Internet Freedom” Notice of Proposed Rulemaking [pdf]
A power company can't charge you extra or give you a discount because you used an LG washer, because LG is a competitor to their sister company GE, or something like that. That's exactly what Net Neutrality regulations were trying to enforce. Without enforcement, you have things like Comcast or TMobile giving extra speed to their own streaming portals, or charge other service providers for higher speed tiers. I don't understand why there is so much contention regarding this, regardless of political affiliation.

Got data on this? In my anecdotal experience price per square foot has shot up in urban places, which is where the jobs for young people tend to be concentrated.

Within these restrictions, I don't think they expect your written code to compile. They just want to ensure the integrity of the test itself. Is it worth the invasion of privacy? Personally, I don't think so.

on: Switching from macOS: Developer Environment
An year ago I started dualbooting Elementary as my daily *nix OS. All was well, until one day, with no hardware change or OS update, the touchpad stopped working. I'm back to VMs now.
If I wasn't dualbooting I might have spent more than a day to figure out what happened - but I was too lazy and scrapped dualbooting.

on: Nintendo Switch – New Video Game System [video]
I'd say it has more to do with demographics than specs. Nintendo's demographics usually only buy first party titles, and Nintendo hasn't done much to market themselves towards the xbox/ps demographics. If they're paying devs to have Skyrim/NBA on their consoles, that's a good first step, and hopefully a sign of things to come.

> The battery should last for approximately 1,000 presses. When the device battery runs out of charge, there is no way to recharge or replace the battery.
This limits use cases to infrequent-press applications.

Macbook touchpads are still a tier above the rest, but the Skylake XPS touchpads are pretty good (and better than the previous XPS 13) based on the reviews.

It definitely feels a little long winded for a person with some background already in systems langauages like C. Do you plan a TLDR for systems language people?
