Convergence package PinePhone has more RAM -- 3Gig vs. separate phone which only come with 2Gig

I work at a place that writes new Fortran code today. Also c++, Python, Julia. Scientists will choose the least impedance mismatch to a library, some needed data set, or their brain.

Or just turn on paging and page in your kernel from the MBR, ignoring the BIOS: https://github.com/charlesap/bootpager

EFI eliminates the need for such trickery though, and who doesn't have EFI these days?

About this much more complex -- https://github.com/charlesap/bootpager (example legacy boot block that jumps into protected mode, enables paging, and pages in and executes arbitrary code, no bios used.) As mentioned above the trick is what to do once you're there. And it is a UEFI world now, might as well just write 64-bit PE kernel and be done with it.

One or more kicks are over here: http://harvey-os.org/ is taking the open-source Plan 9 code and getting it to compile with GCC and clang, etc. They have a userspace with APE (posix) compatibility and they almost have Google Go ported and they debug it with gdb... very much a work in progress though.

You can go all the way to protected mode, enable paging, and then page in the rest of your kernel in just 512 bytes, and without touching the BIOS: https://github.com/charlesap/bootpager/blob/master/oiuboot.a...

Well crap. Source code reputation is exactly the problem we are trying to solve at http://rputbl.com (sorry, just a splash page for now.)

We are nowhere near close to launch yet and there's a chicken-and-egg problem of having a sufficiently large database of hashes to make an arbitrary source code file reputation check worth your time, but we have some ideas about what to do about that too.

"your entire program has been garbage collected" I need this on a t-shirt.

I'm using it to do http traffic analysis on captured packets... about 2.5 million packets a second at peak. This is to provide realtime charts for our web service which didn't have realtime reporting hooks.

I am also using it for HTTP request reconstruction and retransmission in real-time to enable live-data and full load testing of pre-production code.

Is 30 close enough to 10?

I got a job with 30 lines of code appended to my resume, with a screenshot of the resultant output.

Perhaps the first two pages had something to do with it but I was told that the third page was what stood out.

This was a sysadmin position, the code includes bash, sed, awk, grep, tcpdump, netcat and gnuplot.

Hint to anyone who tries this sort of resume stunt: You WILL be asked what the code does.

Just the code: http://bbookkss.com/CharlesPerkinsCV3of3Pages.pdf

Grown defects. Graaah.

All it needs is this:

and a suitable targeting system of course.

Submissions

This resume has source code in it. (just the code)
