I'm working on a Dokku-like tool for Docker Swarm mode, where you can describe your entire application (stack) in a docker-compose.yml file and simply git push to deploy your stack on a self-hosted server cluster with automatic load-balancing and SSL using Traefik and Let's Encrypt.
The main idea is to develop locally instead of spending hours on server configuration.

I'm including some nice metrics and examples like Swarmpit, Swarmprom, Grafana, Gitlab CE + Gitlab Runner and documentation using Docusaurus.
It works with any amount of server nodes so it's easy to start with a single test server and expand as you go.

I'm planning to open-source it ASAP, but things take time.. Hopefully next week v0.1 is done.
Mostly it's been a learning experience, finally getting more fluent with bash and learning about distributed systems and networking. I've used Dokku for years but I wanted more flexibility and experience. I've noticed that I learn better when I write about something, so I'm putting extra effort in writing documentation.

It's funny that this question comes up, I just thought about it today. We should have #madeinquarantine badges for our repo's!
The tech is cool. The UI as described is for campy unergonomic noobs, only.

"he is trying to see Project HoloLens as if for the first time" This is a rather significant problem when talking about the real world as per the article. Consider the electrician discussion in the article. Real electricians want / need / expect real tools, not noob friendly fisher price toys.

Its a tool for camp. As wikipedia says "based on deliberate and self-acknowledged theatricality." And camp doesn't appeal to everyone, all the time. If they were making a UI based on camp in a cultural era of camp ascendance, lets say the late 60s, early 70s in the USA, then this would be a win, it would be "groovy", it would be "boss". But... it isn't.

Another way to describe it is ergonomic problems. I'm used to expressing myself, however poorly, staccato finger gestures at 104 keys at a desk at 100+ WPM. Any failure is a failure of my own creativity, not the user interface of my keyboard, which seems fairly capable in better hands... Now I must downshift and do interpretive dance, or gang hand symbols to communicate. No, I think not. Aside from gorilla arms problems limiting duration and comfort (no 12 hour shifts at the computer, for better or worse). And the speech interface limits it to quiet home use, while alone.

The optical technology sounds incredibly impressive, I'd love to play Minecraft wearing it. Or Forza, or a zillion other games. Its just the UI that sounds truly awful.
Same in my city in the US.
By appears, do you mean "tested positive but symptoms appear to be mild so far", or do you mean you think you might have it but haven't been tested?
Losing “water weight” is a thing. Boxers do it as part of their weight management before their weigh-ins. When I am well-hydrated I lose ~1.5 lbs of water weight just by sleeping (by weighing myself before bed and right when I wake up). If I take a piss it’s an even 2. And we lose a lot of body fluids when we have the flu.

That wouldn’t account for all 25lbs (which is a significant sum to be losing in a week — is that even factual,? Did this guy weigh 350 lbs lean?), but it could account for a good amount of it over the span of two weeks if he was really sick and also not eating well due to lack of appetite, diarrhea, sore throat, etc. How quickly did he get his weight back? Did he lose any significant amount of strength?

The flu is not the same as being out of the gym for a week. Although we do know that you will begin to lose incrementally more and more muscle mass the longer you’ve been out of the gym, being out of the gym for one week shouldn’t lead a bodybuilder to lose 25 lbs, and sometimes it’s even part of good training strategy to take a one week break from the gym to let the nervous system recover, which gets taxed just like the muscles do.

Src: I studied Biological Science at university

Also, during my histology course when we covered different muscle types, we discussed the topic of fatigue in cardiac tissue, but I remember being left with a feeling that we didn’t really know the underlying physiology yet (this would have been nearly a decade ago) but the main arguments were that cardiac muscle is not the same as skeletal muscle, whose differences can be seen under a microscope, and that the heart has enough time to recover when it’s not contracting.

Here’s a similar question — does the esophagus ever get tired? How about the diaphragm? Do you ever get tired of breathing?
Neither do tech workers in SF paying 5k for a shit studio.
From the article:

"We're talking about a device that we want to
have available in the worst case conditions and strangely
enough, COVID-19 is not the worst case envisioned," he
said.

Made me think.

Perhaps in 3, or 5, or 20 years....

Maybe we'll be thankful that COVID-19 was sort of a "training wheels" pandemic... something that helped to prepare us for the even worse pandemics that are sure to follow.

Deaths due to COVID-19 will be staggering, but it's somewhat mild as far as possible pandemic scenarios go. Imagine if it had mortality rates comparable to ebola, TB, etc.

When this blows over, the world should be better prepared for the next one, with better procedures.... emergency stockpiles of ventilators, masks, etc.

(Or at least we will be... until we go ten years without a pandemic... and all those stockpiles get liquidated in order to help some politician to balance a budget or whatever...)
Well that calculation is about to backfire dramatically.

I have literally never circled for 30 minutes looking for a parking spot. In every city I have been to people people use a parking garages of one type or another. Where exactly is circling like this common?
That's a very good question. The article doesn't mention that scenario.
> Note that you should never use a predictable string as your master key. If you have a password manager (such as 1Password, LastPass, etc.), you can use its built-in password generator to generate a strong encryption key.

Reducing the keyspace to only ASCII/printable is a pretty big deal, although judging by the article and not the code, I doubt brute force is the way to break your system.

The method you are employing (cracking contests) is another thing that projects commonly do that makes people trust their implementations less.

Inventing a cryptosystem is a pretty big task. I haven’t looked at your code. How are you sure that you got it reasonably right?

Furthermore, why do you believe it’s better to do this in the application than, say, with LUKS?
As I said at the top of the thread: it often makes sense to coordinate with vendors, and natural preferences often do align. But it sometimes doesn't, and, at times, it even makes sense to disclose without any coordination. Un-coordinated disclosure isn't intrinsically irresponsible, and so the term "responsible disclosure" is misleading. This isn't just my idea, and the term itself has become disfavored among vulnerability researchers.
I would argue that Go's focus on a small feature set made it easier to get right more quickly. The few Go designers knew what they wanted out of the language. They decided early on that Go would be very opinionated. And they were OK with sacrificing purity for simplicity.

Rust has many more features than Go. (And language complexity increases approximately combinatorially with the number of features.) Features in Rust are decided more democratically. Rust designers are OK with a long (re)discovery period for features to find the purest design.

I believe these differences in language authorship explains the churn that Rust has experienced relative to Go.
Brewing and consuming beer.
Equating a lesser crime (copyright infringement) with a greater crime (theft) diminishes the weight of the greater crime[1].

To use a ridiculous example, if you say that taking a picture of a statue is the same as stealing the statue, any accusations you make of theft will not be taken very seriously.

[1] My basis for this claim is that taking $40 that I already have is worse than not giving me $40 for a license to software that I wrote.
I see it the other way around. Collusion in hiring and wage fixing is illegal, and it is considered serious. It can be considered a crime.

It is difficult to establish the exact damages in a situation like this. This is one of those things we have made illegal because we understand it is very harmful, but it's difficult to determine just how harmful. And yes, it is important to provide evidence of harm.

But here's where I start to deeply disagree with you. This isn't a situation where two parties were both operating in presumably good faith, and some damages occurred, and we're trying to figure out who should foot the bill for what damage. This is a situation where one party behaved highly illegally, and based on the emails, there's really no question it was ugly.

So ok, I'm not going to let plaintiffs pick a number out of thin air, there needs to be some justification. But I'd say at this point that the burden should be more on the defense. Why shouldn't we say billions at this point?

I also probably disagree with you deeply on how harmful this sort of thing is.
Israel and Turkey are on that list, because the US spends most of their foreign aid on them (Not sure about Turkey, it used to be Egypt.). This is for political reasons, not because those countries are in a bad shape.

> Did you know we spend about 38 times as much on our armed forces as our space agency?

I know India spends a lot on defense, which is just as questionable.
Two out of five ain't bad? The stylus item is based on one "never heard of him" analyst, talking about an iPad Apple hasn't said they're going to build. #4, life-like software design, doesn't even make sense given that CNN states that it was Jobs' idea. Philanthropy? Jobs never said "Apple will never do this".

Even BuzzFeed would be embarrassed to publish this listicle.
This is a very nice website. Consider adding a grid view with thumbnail so we don't have to go through all the pages. Infinite loading too, perhaps?
I inferred that, since he couldn't be talking about an effect at constant velocity, that this effect would be an extra mysterious hazard of extreme acceleration - beyond the mundane hazard of being crushed into a damp spot on the bulkhead. Perhaps related to the tidal deformation one would experience falling into a black hole. The consensus here is he just blew it - nothing more to be concerned with.
What you need is a catchy heading and a brief explanation of the app, not more than a few lines of text (graphics can help too). You want to get your visitors interested enough to click through and not be overwhelmed by to much information. Don't clutter your front page with social media buttons and other needless stuff. Don't show a huge list of features either, you may think it's awesome but most people don't care.

Showing recent activity on the front page might be a good idea if it helps explaining the app (the way Twitter does it).
As with any large city there are nicer parts and not-so nice parts in Cape Town, too. But it is a beautiful city, and I've felt safe the couple of times I've been there.
Yes and no. Cape Town does have a high violent crime rate compared to most Western cities, but the key thing to understand is that like the rest of SA the vast majority of that crime is concentrated in specific areas like the townships (slums) on the outskirts of the city. For the parts of the city and areas outside the city that a foreigner would likely stay Cape Town is quite safe and definitely safer than Johannesburg.

Opportunistic crime does exist, but provided you use the same kind of street smarts you would use in most big cities and don't do things like walk alone in unfamiliar areas after dark, don't make yourself an easy target and don't be oblivious to your surroundings, you should be able to avoid being the victim of opportunistic criminals.
It's more like using statistical regression methods and Microsoft Paint to find patterns in tea leaves, but as long as you use disciplined money management and avoid major losses you can still make money at it.

The only thing I know about Dan Zanger was when he was featured in one of the trading magazines many years ago, in an article discussing his feat. He accomplished it during the 90s tech boom, when you couldn't lose money even if you tried. No idea what he did after that.
I submitted here yesterday the original asciimo link, now you can read here where the code cames from and the opinion from the real author.

I wish the phrase "A modest proposal" would be reserved for the satirical intent with which Swift first used it.
Feel free to ask questions about AR or the Appsumo deal if you want.
This move surprised me. I’ve listened to almost every podcast Tobi Lutke has been featured in.

Tobi Lutke has spoken in podcasts about the power dynamic at his company; he has more security than his employees due to his position at CEO. He said it bothered him.

Statements were made during the same conversation about power dynamics with big tech making political value judgment calls; it seemed he didn’t agree that tech should make all the calls on what speech is allowed.

Now this.

Maybe it’s because it involves a sitting president so this is okay for them to make a value judgment on. Even though small businesses promoting violence in other ways is acceptance on their platform.
Oh, and of course, there's no one Chinese spoken word for China. That's because there's no one Chinese spoken language, but lots.
Articles hit the front page because they get a few early upvotes, not because they're more useful than the other thousand submissions a day.

You are right to call me on this and given a probably-not-too-reasonable definition of "compromise" for Bitcoin, you are technically correct.

But it's like getting a tour of the Tesla factory and saying, "It can't even run under water? Well gosh, this sucks!"

Blockchain forks are _going_ to happen, because software isn't perfect. That has long been known. It's always been a question of when, not if.

But they do not matter, because it's easy to heal them in precisely the way that this one was healed. Which is part of the beauty of bitcoin.

They also don't matter much because they don't have much of an impact on users unless you're doing something you shouldn't do.

> so the community has mostly forgotten it and those that remember would like to pretend it never happened.

That's pretty cynical. I'd say the community has mostly forgotten it because it wasn't a surprise to anyone in the community that it could happen, it was just a matter of when.

That the whole incident was pretty forgettable is a testament to how easy it is to heal a blockchain fork and how little impact one actually has.
> According to some very sound economic currency theory, you're 100% wrong.

I should first say that what that web site talks about is not a crank theory. They base their arguments on what many consider a very sound economic currency theory. I happen to disagree with the theory. But you're right in that the perceived value of Bitcoin is based on serious economic currency theory, which many prominent people consider very sound.

> About half the current value of a bitcoin is speculation. The rest is fundamentally supported by its trade volume

How much of the value of Pets.com, Webvan, eToys, Kozmo etc. was supported by trade volume in 1999?

> There is no way a bitcoin can crash unless its use in trade crashes.

I guess I agree - if people realize Bitcoin is worthless, they'll stop trading with it. The crash in price will be eventually followed by a slowdown in trading.

> The paper money I use every day, which can burn instantly in a flame, has no intrinsic value either.

I've talked about this in other places in this thread. As five current US dollars could not buy one 1972 US dollar, as throughout history every government fiat currency in history has eventually collapsed in value (while gold has kept its value), as the current fiat experiment in the US is only 42 years old, in essence I agree over the long term. US currency is completely based on the power of the US government and its willingness to support its currency. Translated into what I have been saying, it means you can go to places like http://www.usps.com and send the government dollars, and it will send you valuable items in return. You are right though that over the long term, US paper money has no intrinsic value.
The time for an internet free-for-all wild west was when the internet was new and bad actors only hacked things for fun.

> I think American's fetishize "free speech"

But I agree with that statement. "Free speech" is often seen as absolute. But it is not absolute. Not even in the US. It never was. And it should not be. There is always a trade-off.

Limits are (copied from Wiki because I am lazy), for example:
"libel, slander, obscenity, pornography, sedition, incitement, fighting words, classified information, copyright violation, trade secrets, food labeling, non-disclosure agreements, the right to privacy, dignity, the right to be forgotten, public security, and perjury"
I've already been in a situation where I could choose between serious jail time and refusing orders I did not agree with so I'm pretty sure which side I would come down on.

So, with all respect mr. Anonymous Coward you haven't a clue what you're talking about.

Principles come at a price, that's for sure.

I can see why you have a problem with this worldview.

Is this a joke or are you being serious? The last thing we need is a mandatory certification program for software developers. If employers aren't willing to pay you extra for your degree then that's your problem. All that matters is ability to do the work.
For sure. Out of curiosity, do you know of a good compromise that would allow the kid to play while still keeping the rules mostly in place for other kids?
1 year non competes post-termination of your employment isn't all that uncommon. In practical terms, it prevents you from working for a direct competitor of your former employer for 12 months, after which it expires and you can do whatever you want.

> Anyone been pursued by a previous employer due to a non-compete?

Remember that this question is only relevant if you plan to go and work for your employer's direct competitor after your termination.

Do you anticipate working for a competitor after quitting or being fired in the following 12 months?

A sustained dietary change may give substantial health gains for people of all ages both for optimized and feasible changes. Gains are predicted to be larger the earlier the dietary changes are initiated in life. The Food4HealthyLife calculator that we provide online could be useful for clinicians, policy makers, and laypeople to understand the health impact of dietary choices.
if you do this , rich people will just blow their wealth since they know their kids cant get it or they will stop working hard to create more wealth and that may inhibit new inventions etc. I know rent seeking exists but communism is not the solution my friend.

My Dell Precision 7750 touchpad works flawlessly and I'm running Ubuntu. The touchpad is optimal size, similar to that of Apple's I think. It also has 3 physical buttons, middle click is my favorite which by default is configured to open a link in a new tab. Multipoint touch and gestures work fine as well, at least those that I use - two finger touch for right click menu and two finger gesture for scrolling. Because it's a rather new touchpad by Dell, Initially the physical right button didn't work, which was a bit annoying, but eventually the problem was solved with kernel update.

An excerpt:

Seems to me it's nothing but an assumption on your part that they do profit from these transactions. The comments on the OP suggest otherwise.

You'll see two opposite complaints about payment processors:

1. They let fraud run rampant.

2. They're too hasty to lock accounts.

In order to have less of one, you have to have more of the other.

Good point. The obvious answer is to prompt the user when a website says it's an app and wants to use special storage options. But wording that might be difficult to prevent confusing the user. It's not as easy to understand as "this website want to use your geolocation" or "this website wants to send you notifications".
This is ridiculous. HTML5 apps just need to get better, and closed gardens need to open up. Viva la PhoneGap!

Seriously, why do you need to code an app in Objective C just to get native features? They should be exposed to Javascript. As usual, OPEN will win, and that means the web!
In some lispmachine demo by .. I forgot his name (~~amir gupta?~~ kalman reti) he talks about that aspect. Unix serializes everything to strings, while lisp machines just pass pointers around. Obviously simpler and faster but maybe less easy to move across machines (I'm speculating). I've always been saddened by the neverending amount of grep/perl fu needed in unix to do the same thing over and over.

Similar feeling when using powershell, a lot of benefits of having a uniform set of interfaces for any kind of object. That said it feels a little straighjacketing compared to crunching strings.

If all you have are record separators, so that the only data you can send is a list of values distinguished by nothing other than the order in which they occur, then the information about the structure of the data must exist separately on both the sending side and the receiving side. Better hope they agree.

But regardless, I feel like that exists right now; doesn't this describe protocol buffers?
