I know, right? Should be fun. At the same time, I have kind of mixed feelings about this. Shouldn't we be solving problems that aren't already like 70% solved? (I mean by Ubuntu. :P)
But then, I didn't think we needed another browser, but Chrome is really fast.
(as a funny aside, I don't think we need another search engine. lol.)
i dunno yo. i'm actually a fan of the computing trend to go back and solve existing problems well and simply. i feel like it reduces complexity, at least when done right, wheras most innovation increases complexity.
Yeah, but say I wanted to go create a new search engine or operating system. The complexity involved in that just blows my mind.
I guess they'll get simpler to use. But I feel like nothing gets simpler under the hood, which is frustrating. It's such a vague concept, "simplicity", that I like, but that I never know whether I'm increasing or decreasing it.
hm troof...esepcially with something as crazy as an os.
but i feel like with software simplicity can be pretty clear sometimes, especially if you're making a stand-alone library or something. or at least i've definetly seen packages that are simple and others that aren't. maybe its tough to quantify...
Dude. Game time. I'm so excited to see how this war plays out.
