There's no problem with running supervisord, inside or outside of docker, there's a problem running supervisord as an init (pid1). You can run openrc or systemd or s6 or runit or minit or whatever and use supervisord on top of that, you just shouldn't use supervisord directly as pid1.

People don't divide their time equally between apps. I have apps I haven't touched in a year. I would venture to guess the FB app is only behind phone and SMS in terms of usage. This means that, yes, review are far more likely to be left for the FB app and, within that user base, those with issues have far more motivation to leave reviews than those who are happy.

Again, not saying the FB app is good. I barely use it. Don't know. What I am saying is that review systems in general are very broken.
Really? Aren't they using VHDL generics/Verilog parameters?

Cx supports specialization of entities with this kind of semantics, so you give an instance parameters and the compiler generates specialized code (so there's no more need for Perl scripts thankfully ^^). Right now you can't enable or disable things, but this is something that would be excellent: modify the hierarchy, add or remove ports, all depending on which flags the entity was instantiated with.

As I explained in another comment a few minutes ago, we're not so much about syntax as we're about better semantics and higher level description (I agree this isn't very clear on the website). Your remark about the ecosystem is perfectly right, and this is what makes EDA a tough market.

I don't know enough about verification to comment. I know SystemVerilog is very powerful but very complex, I've read about UVM and stuff, some people use SystemC. I wonder how they even manage to get hardware validated!
> Sony adopting a policy of greater openness

Sony had, a long time ago, a family of Unix workstations. At that time, those systems were called "open" in the sense that they played well with other systems over documented protocols.
From 2006, and sadly so; this advice should have been followed back in 2002, and been the reality by 2010. Schneier is well known, but somehow still isn't being heard by the right ears...how can we help change that?
I think the best thing here is that GNUStep is GPL - any improvements - and there will be many - bringing it to the same functionality level as Apple's equivalent will be also GPL'ed and open for all.
Exactly. I don't have the patience to maintain a blog, but I can see myself cranking out a few essays a year whenever inspiration strikes.

This actually gives me an idea, though, because the trouble with me cranking out essays is that I have nowhere to publish them. Sure, I could put them on my own personal website, but it's too much effort to create one and then find somewhere to host it... and besides, nobody would ever find it. Alternatively I could get a Wordpress blog to host my very occasional essays, but all the blogging sites are set up with blogs rather than essays in mind, so they're really non-optimal.

So here's a startup idea for someone: a wordpress clone optimized towards the writer of occasional long pieces rather than frequent short postings.
First time I hear about that. Source?
Okay, I have to agree - the fact that I can manipulate my weight at will and either stay at the target weight or adjust it if I want to does give me some feeling of superiority in this particular aspect.

And I have learnt a few things on the way - for example, that slight hunger is not a sign that you should rush to the fridge. That a 24 or 36 hours fast will not kill you, but is rather good for you. That if I want to lower my weight, eliminating all refined carbs and added sugars is simple and effective.

Yes, if you want to lose weight you may need to put in some effort. There is little way around it, short of liposuction may be. You may have learn to control the "drive to eat" just like you control many other drives. Ideally, of course, one should make proper eating his way of life.

Talking about breath, by the way - yes, if I concentrate on my breath, I can consciously make it more deep and breathe less often. It is somewhat similar to what I would do to my meals - eat a bit more, but less often, with no snacks in between 3 meals per day, with suprisingly positive results.
what the hell... seriously... this his hilarious... I'm gonna put it on in the office tomorrow!
I'm pretty excited for Facebook's React Conf at the end of the month, but I'm biased because I'm speaking. =D
We do this at my job. We try to come up with projects that are good fits for the candidate, usually a small version of a problem we've recently dealt with.

It's not a first line, though. We tend to start by actively recruiting/headhunting. We cherish recommendations from current or past employees, but we'll also open the position to all on the off chance we get a good application through traditional routes. HR only becomes involved with the process after an offer has been accepted or if the hiring manager has questions/concerns.

After an informal lunch with the hiring manager, you'll be invited to meet with some senior developers for about an hour. These meetings are mostly to figure out what the candidate thinks their strengths and weaknesses are and gives us a chance to talk about the stuff we plan to work on in the near and not-so-near future.

Once we have a fairly basic understanding of each other, we'll come up with a project. Think your strength is on the front end? Here's an API we wrote. Build a widget with the data. Think you're strongest at databases? Great, here's a database project.

We don't care if you have a lot of questions or if you fill in the blanks. We give as little direction as possible at first on purpose. Write it in whatever language you want to write it in. We want to see how the candidate works. If they ask questions, great. If they don't, great. Do they ship something?

We make sure to stress there's no wrong answers. At all. The projects are designed around your perceived strengths because we'll figure out your weaknesses and will compensate for those during the 90-day trial period all new hires have to go through anyway.

The point is to see something we can discuss in a later, final round. Even failure to complete is acceptable, so long as you can articulate why.

None of this is hard and fast. We have had candidates who, for whatever reason, can't or won't write code outside of their current position. We'll adjust. Our process isn't rigid at all. We try our best to take a holistic approach. It's only bit us in the ass twice, mostly due to culture issues because the hiring manager made his decisions unilaterally. Since then, all senior devs and a few others on the team meet all candidates before hire and can give management input.
The article author is the one that calls it fake. Invalid probably would probably be a better choice of words.
Me too! Sadly, as an iOS user, I can't have it.
Very few police officers actually live in the area they work in. Most live far outside the city in the suburbs or more red areas. Either due to cost of living or politics. This often contributes to the "us vs them" divide because the people policing neighborhoods are often from different areas, ethnicity, incomes and political leanings.
Tough love time. Whether you were unprofessional depends on how you spoke your mind. The way you phrased it, I suspect maybe so.

That said, there's hope. I have been in monotonous dev contracts before and how I approach it is to gamify. Find meaningful metrics about your job that you can calculate on a daily or weekly basis, ideally through automation. Then set percentage improvement goals for yourself.

Do the same thing for your outside of work personal growth: find a popular technology that's relatively new still that appeals you, figure out what it would take to get recognized as an expert in that technology, and map out mile markers on the road to that goal (e.g., become a committer on X and Y projects, port Z to technology Foo, submit and present 2 presentations on technology Foo at tech conferences). On top of that, network like crazy through local groups, online groups, LinkedIn, Twitter, and conferences. At first, volunteer to do stuff other community members don't want to do (minutes, documentation, writing more unit tests to improve coverage, etc.). Your contributions will be noticed, and job queries will start coming in. Do not say anything bad about your job or boss in those conversations, simply 'We've grown in different ways and I feel it's time for a new challenge.'
It does not need to be 1 KLOC/day :) The complexity of XML-RPC parser is about a week of work for polished code. Go from there, not from the given 7 KLOC of some implementation.
Right, I understand that. But it seems irresponsible to suggest - as I think this site does - that the entirety of AWS has the uptime you're advertising.
Compared to other languages, C is pretty straightforward. You also have to write more of it to do less. I switched back to C after 12 years of using web scripting languages, and am surprised at how much more code I churn out per day.
Over the last three years, I've come to a similar viewpoint. Stuff has to be stored, maintained and moved. I'm quite ambiguous however about subscriptions and the Age of Access though: http://www.foet.org/books/age-access.html
ok, I've read this over twice, and I'll bite - how was this "hijack"/"hack" done? I think it'll be helpful for us to know this so we can try to avoid it in the future.
I have a product in this area.

I think it's very difficult to build a generalized model that predicts stock market movements based on news (outside very specific things - drugs that pass testing, buyouts etc). It maybe possible to build specific models that track the likelihood of particular events and then map these to movements though.

My product works on prioritising news for human analysts instead. This is much more practical and works better with many companies existing work practices
It will be - by the time the censorship is actually being implemented, the red team will be out and the blue team will have the reigns.

Generally the foundation of political support builds as sensible opposition while the other team is in power. Then that opposition team gets elected, and its politicians go to work "compromising" with the gatekeeping lobbyists - neutering any hard hitting reforms and transmuting that grassroots desire for reform into regulatory capture.
Nowhere does it say they were let go due to a protest.
Yeah ok. Write down your rules, maybe make a computer simulation or something. Then see if you can get anyone on board your plan.

I'd think a good starting point would be a local club or something. Don't elect officers, just vote on every issue. If you're lucky, you'll find that every issue you'd want to vote on easily distills down to a binary choice, and it will be obvious what the two choices will be, and what issues there will be to vote on. If not, maybe you can come up with some way to vote on what will be on the ballot. Maybe you'll find yourself rapidly descending down a rabbit hole, or maybe it will work out swimmingly. I'm sure we'd like to see.

Good luck!
I'm not sure anybody would suggest that, who's had to negotiate via online chat etc. Its a terrible medium, lacking completely in persuasive body language, intonation, physical signaling etc. Politicians are professional persuaders. I'm sure very few would think this is a could idea.
Search? Gmail didn't even index attachments until recently. Give me a break - Gmail is a joke. Never thought I would pine for Outlook but here I am :/
The rise of internet radio has made it pretty difficult to obtain a really good FM tuner these days regardless of the price.

In fact, I'm not aware of anything with real diversity reception-- at most they're limited to crossfading two tuners, and even that is mostly a car radio feature.

I wonder if anyone has been working on an open source state of the art SDR broadcast FM receiver.

A good receiver would have denoising of the stereo signal, filters to eliminate HD radio interference, PLL/matched demod of the stereo signal, and support diversity reception using constant modulus algorithm or similar.
>You didn't. The guy I was originally replying to did. If you're going to wade into a thread to defend somebody else's position, it behooves you to understand what their position actually is.

The commenter upthread was specifically asked to list some things they considered positive about China. I think it is pretty uncharitable to consider their response uncritical, as their reticence about expressing their views suggests they are well aware of the negative aspects of the regime (perhaps more so than you and I are, through firsthand experience) as well as of how people expressing any positive sentiment about any aspect of China are recieved on forums like these.

>You want an example of heresy? Go practice the Islamic faith in Xinjiang. You will be shipped to a concentration camp and the government will station a man in your house to sleep in the same bed as your wife.

Bad things are bad.

Is it ok for me to wonder at the motives of those telling me that particular bad things are worse or more worthy of discussion than other bad things, especially when those bad things have been known for quite some time but only discussed in media for the last year or so? I have known about the camps and human rights violations in Xinjiang since 2017 at least, but back then nobody wanted to discuss it on the Internet with me as a geopolitical issue. So it's... good? I guess, that it's becoming more broadly known.

Edit: i see this whole subthread is detached now for being offtopic. I want to be careful here since I already got warned once for losing my temper about this subject. When you're from a geopolitically insignificant country, like I am, the actions of the big powers look different. Happy to leave it at that for now.
Why encourage those who cannot prioritize making their minds up against a common enemy? Effectively, this scheme looks to empower any majority no matter how comprised. Clarity of purpose should matter.
They've been superior for a while. We had touchscreen kiosks at a Jack-in-the-Box (cheap burger chain) at near my university back in 2007.

It was a pilot program, and the CEO said they found that young people preferred to wait in line for the kiosk rather than place their order with an actual human, but older people preferred the opposite, so they decided to wait before rolling it out to all their locations. I think touchscreen devices are finally omnipresent enough that the older age demographics can handle ordering via a touchscreen.

A more sinister take would be that the larger restaurant chains anticipated minimum-wage increases, and timed the rollout of touchscreen devices to coincide with the rollout of minimum wage legislation, so their lobbyists can make the argument that minimum wage increases cost jobs, because they're still going to have to pay the cooks in the back and the people to keep the place clean.
I've not worn one since 1995, when the cheap Swatch a girlfriend bought me broke. Am 39 now.
I'd say that all people over 30 I know (me included) wear one. Most people in their teens and 20s don't. I suppose they won't wear cheap plastic watches, but they'll buy nice timepieces at some point anyway.
From my experience, a lot of employers are Nash level-two thinkers here: they know that everyone embellishes their resume, so they assume that you've put union of the sets "things I know how to do" and "things you require" on it, rather than their intersection. Thus, they require "10 years experience in Clojure" etc. because they think that anyone who doesn't say they have it really doesn't know anything about it, even though that usually disqualifies the Nash level-three candidates who honestly evaluate themselves.
Was there ever any sort of eMail confirmation? So far, I've put in my data and nothing happened after that O_o

Though, even for a company you do pay taxes where you spend most of the time. So if your main presence is in Sweden you would pay taxes in Sweden. On the other hand, if your main presence is in estonia you would pay taxes there, irrespective of whether it is a Estonian company or a Swedish company.
Germany has a section called "Violation of intimate privacy by taking photographs" that seems to apply here[1].

That's an excellent expression of my concern. Also, people who agree with some but not all of the ideas held by "right-wing terrorists" suddenly become terrorist sympathizers, and their friends "associate with known terrorists and terrorist sympathizers". Imagine the context you've heard those phrases in on the news, and what you thought was okay when it happened to those people.
Easy solution: allow for more immigration :)
> Every time your computer does an NTP update and has to jump ahead one second

PCs don't run anything crucial, usually you can set your clock to 2001 without visible problems, the same is not true for a server. A server uses ntpd, not a bruce-force ntpdate. Under ordinary conditions, ntpd adjusts the clock in small steps so that the timescale is effectively continuous and without discontinuities. But I think a negative leap second is quite violent.
I think they do. If you have far more protected bike lanes, then you're going to have far fewer cyclist deaths from cars.
over the course of 7 years and millions of players

lots and lots of megawatts, not kilowatts
The way I see it, current circuits are running in high temperature thermal equilibrium; there's no chance of operational reversibility at the physical level. That's only possible with near 0K computers probably using superconductors and such. So indeed reversibility should only be relevant in this regime when you're operating near the ultimate energetic limits of computation (and quantum computers of course), not high temperature "thermalized" devices.
You're cutting a Dev team an awful lot of slack for a data loss bug.

Microsoft got rightfully roasted for last years data loss release. This is arguably the most serious class of bug, and the most preventable.
For 1) alpha is what you don't want when investing in index funds. Index funds can only stop working if they stop being able to track the market. That can happen if they're such a big part of the market that trading is effectively broken, but 10 years would definitely not be enough to reach that point.
I agree with the sentiment, but this is a national-scale website and not a Django app someone locally tossed online.
We have seen repeatedly that Apple does not want your data at all. Maps, for instance, goes far out of their way to not know who you are.
Nice! Picked up a shirt and some stickers :) Sorry to see you guys go. Flynn was one of the first things that made me legitimately excited about the future of Docker. Thanks for all your great work.
I was sorting out some old box's just the other day and in one I found an old IBM PCMCIA Token Ring adapter, in the box with manual and connecting cable. I put it aside, it's so old that I won't ever use but probably niche enough today that I felt worth keeping onto or selling over e-wasting it.
Those things have some utility and yet most of them are bought solely for their resell value, not for their utility. Not all investments are ponzi schemes (by that vague, rubbery definition of ponzi scheme). Just the ones that are in limited resources, mostly for their resell value, which results of their prize going way higher than the value of their utility. Like the ones I listed.

Making the pie smaller ultimately leads to lower quality.

I am virtually certain people will argue that this argument is invalid for whatever reason, but I'm pretty sure that'll be more indicative of the bias seen among hackers than anything else.
grep treats "[m]yapp" as a regex, which will match "myapp" but not itself. That is, it won't match the exact string "[m]yapp" so the grep process won't show up in the listing.
Do the ranking system and banned posts represent the views of the moderators, or their attempt to maintain a neutral but high-quality website? Do note that there will be some overlap between the two.
> our rights to control and to profit from our labors

I'm all for profiting from socially useful work for hire, when nobody was going to volunteer to provide it. But you can't control your IP. You can only control other people while they're using it. And that I find odious, an evil which isn't necessary. A system that successfully prevents copying is too intentionally crippled to be a tool worthy of human beings.

As it happens, I'm going to a mashup show at jwz's club in a couple of hours. They're using art as the ingredients for new art, which of course imposes a tenuous existence in a legal grey area, when it's the kind of innovation we should never have granted authors the power to prohibit (rather than merely profit from).
I loved this one as a kid too. Thanks for posting.
I love the irony that sufferers of a disease "characterized by hallucinations, delusions", see the actual visual information while healthy viewers are utterly unable to see it.

And this: "Schizophrenia patients, meanwhile, may be unable to modulate this pathway, accepting the concave face as reality." is just too ironic, considering that the concave face is reality.

Maybe Schizophrenics are not the delusional ones.
I feel like those videos could be generated without human intervention, by hooking a neural net up to some video software and pre-made assets and optimizing for views. And, while that's not literally how they're made, the difference feels increasingly academic.

Khan has had celebrity visitors to the farm and won numerous awards, including the Padma Shri, one of India’s highest civilian awards, and records in the Limca Book of Records. He has visited Dubai and Iran to teach the art of grafting, and in 1999, he created a mango tree with more than 54 varieties for the Mughal Gardens attached to the Rastrapathi Bhavan, the official residence of the President of India.

A hard-working man with ambition, dedication, and passion.
Yeah, but their software updates come too few and far between for my taste. And come on: no security bugs in all those years? Coverup!
> Now I just curate interesting videos and the kids have to watch it with me.

I also curate content to watch with my daughter. It started long before she had access to a computer, because it made for a nice pocket of time to share fun moments in the evenings.

We call them "Watch With XXX" (where XXX is my daughter's nickname). When I find something I think she'll like, I email it to myself with the subject "wwXXX". An email filter shuffles them off to a separate mailbox. She regularly asks if I have any new WWXXX's, or if we can watch an old favorite again.
Valid point, I wrote that poorly. PBS Kids is awesome.
If the only way to cycle safely in the city is to pretend you're a full sized motor vehicle, it sounds like you understand how ridiculous it is that the roads are designed for and devoted to cars.
Then _don't drive in the city._

Why is this so hard to understand? Unless you're a delivery vehicle, driving in a city is just antisocial.
You can run less of them if they're not having to push air through a filter first.
