The Nineteenth Byte

I like Ubuntu over others mainly because my son also uses the computer, and it seems the most kid-friendly one, while still allowing you to go deeper.

@Geobits how is @Minibits doing?

I mailed him my laundry by magpie service.

Geobits

This second? He's in school, so probably bored out of his mind. He'll get to the laundry later.

@EᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏIʀᴋ I assume so. He doesn't hate it so much as he just doesn't ever feel like doing his work in class. So yea, seems pretty normal. Give him a couple more years for the real hatred to set in.

@ChrisJester-Young if you feel any of your codetutoring kids need OS dev experience, we will take them and introduce then to the glory of jQuery.

Geobits

2:13 PM

@EᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏIʀᴋ It's almost all repeat for him, and that's the issue. He's a couple years ahead of his grade level in both math and reading, so he doesn't learn anything new in those. He loves learning in general, though.

Did I just hear an implication that you're building an OS from jQuery?

Eᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏ Iʀᴋ

yes.

I'm trying to come up with a good explanation for why I'd seemingly gimp a decent computer by putting a browser-based OS on it, but I can't.

zyabin101

@DrGreenEggsandHamDJ Yup.

Chris Jester-Young

@MarsUltor I actually wrote one. Initial version was in JS (codepen.io/cky/full/f5923696f12019ed15622f7f24913929), but then I decided I couldn't stand JS and wrote a ClojureScript version (gitlab.com/cky/emojisweeper).

@Geobits But. What's so bad about a browser based OS?

Sherlock9

2:17 PM

I like Discord because of voice chat, but since I didn't visit PPCG regularly during the months of January and February, it was hard to get people together to talk

Geobits

@MarsUltor Isn't it somewhat limiting? I mean, on a regular OS, you have browser+everythingelse.

wizzwizz4

@MarsUltor Chrome is bad enough as it is. But dedicating an entire OS to it...

Chris Jester-Young

@EᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏIʀᴋ jQueryOS? What is this world coming to? ;-)

Eᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏ Iʀᴋ

FUNNESS

Mars Ultor

@Geobits But it will have normal OS support when it's finished. And many things can be ported via Emscripten.

Chris Jester-Young

2:18 PM

@MarsUltor Or PNaCl.

Geobits

@MarsUltor Ok, so you're saying that the disadvantages aren't major (I'll reserve judgement on that). So what are the advantages of a browserOS?

Chris Jester-Young

I'm much more excited about PNaCl than Emscripten, but that's because I'm a low-level coding nerd. :-P

2:20 PM

@Geobits Not much, I guess. (It isn't supposed to be a widely-used OS). The only thing I can really think of is a flexible and easily extensible desktop, and easy-to-create widgets.

Dr Green Eggs and Ham DJ

It's him as a kid.

Autorité de sûreté nucléaire

The Autorité de sûreté nucléaire (English: Nuclear Safety Authority, ASN) is an independent French administrative authority set up by law 2006-686 of 13 June 2006 concerning nuclear transparency and safety. It has replaced the General Direction for Nuclear Safety and Radioprotection. Its task, on behalf of the State, is to regulate nuclear safety and radiation protection in order to protect workers, patients, the public and the environment from the risks involved in nuclear activities. It also contributes to informing the citizens. From 2006 to 2012, the president of the ASN was André-Claude Lacoste...
