Tim from Docker here. Broadly, we agree. The goal of this Technical Preview is not to encourage Wasm to be mediated by containers in production, but rather to enable people to locally build & package Wasm apps easily. In production, that could look like a number of different scenarios, from "bare metal" edge (just running in a Wasm VM), to running your Wasm workloads in a nomad/k8s cluster if that’s what you need (e.g. if you want hybrid container/wasm orchestration).
When it comes to entire countries, or even large cities, they usually have every possible lifestyle within them -- somewhere. It's never what you know about a place; it's who you know.

You may have to make different choices though. It's probably possible to be a teetotalling vegetarian in Japan, but you might have to go to a monastery or something. Whereas you could easily be a games developer with those traits in the USA.
That split comes from US residential electricity being 240V split-phase AC. Adjacent circuit breakers are on different phases that each provide 120V, and double-wide circuit breakers allow appliances like dryers and ovens to use the full 240V difference between phases. If your house (like mine) puts all the lighting circuits on one phase and all the 120V outlets on the other phase, then you'll probably have relatively little trouble with powerline networking going beyond a single circuit breaker. But if you're trying to get powerline networking to work between outlets on different phases, you'll have more trouble (but I've seen it suggested that it might work better while the dryer is running and providing more coupling between phases).

Side note: the transformer on our street once had one of its phases fail. All the outlets in our house dropped to some useless voltage like ~30V AC, but the lights worked fine. Next door, the lights went out but the outlets worked fine. The light in the clothes dryer came on at half brightness. This was very puzzling, not the least because we were all used to issues with that transformer knocking out power entirely when it was hit by another teenage driver. Most of us didn't understand until then how a transformer could fail half-way.
When I was seven, I was into plumbing, electronics books, and maybe Barney. When we went to libraries, I would get books on the local jurisdictions sewage system, or how to rewire your house. I was happy that my parents let me take the occasional thing apart. But they never really guided any of it.

I remember at around 12 the Comcast repairman told me "the real money is in software". I thought - software, what's that? Then I probably went to work on our garden or something.

I didn't start coding until around 16, and that was because I had old computers that I wanted to use, and didn't really know about pirating windows, so begins using Linux, running PHP webservers ETC.

Point is - figure out what they enjoy and help them enjoy it.

I couldn't even get friends that want to learn to learn, even when they are practically homeless.

It's hard for some of us to fathom, but some people just don't have the drive to do this kind of thing. You also can't force it, all you can do is give context.
"video games, robotics, electronics" is a rather tech-sided perspective of "STEM".

Spreadsheets are great for maths, planning projects, tracking experiments/collecting data, ... which I'd also all attribute to things "STEM-ish kids" might do.
Just wait until you can’t tell the difference and then contemplate if it matters, and then if that’s what reality already is.
It kinda depends on your goals I think. The T shaped developer skillset is extremely, extremely valuable and will only probably continue. Sure, you could get deeper in a language you already have experience with, but do you think that will better prepare you for future experiences in different languages? Do you want to stick with the tech you're currently using for the rest of your career? If you do, that's great! Don't even worry about the other stuff. But I can say, any time I've spent in my career learning something new has never been wasted time, even if I never used the tool again.

Sometimes it's also fun to just see something different. There is value in "Play". You might find you actually really love the new thing, or you might find the new thing just totally reaffirmed your love for your current tools. Either is great! But finding out is probably more valuable.

For what it's worth, to your question directly, I found using Prolog to be a pretty profound experience with respect to how I thought about programming. I haven't touched it in ~12 years, but while I was using it I thought it was incredible. One of the "funnest" learning experiences of my career was building sudoku solvers in Prolog.
My first read I bounced off of Shadow hard. Second reading I finished and loved it but then life got in the way early into Claw. 2020 was the year I blasted through all 5 books and am glad I did. The book is incredibly dense and does not hide that fact, so you have to be ready for such or you simply won't enjoy it.
I think those examples are great. Another way to judge this is to consider what a class of 8th graders might come up with if you ask them to draw "a snail made of harp". The request is non-sensical itself, so I imagine the results from DALL-E are actually pretty good.
I learnt Prolog before so Erlang's syntax does not look so scary to me.
Talk to an attorney. Bring all the relevant documents. "Co-founder" is not usually a term with significant legal status.
Another false dilemma. Raise a child bilingual in English and Navajo, nothing bad. Gee, why did you omit _that_ combination?
What about it? Are there actually more jobs than graduates there?
An individual with the choice of living in the city or in suburbia is faced with a conundrum. Although you would think that by living in the city the individual will save money by expending significantly less natural resources and dramatically lowering his carbon footprint, it ironically costs him less money to do the exact opposite by living in the suburbs. This is because if the individual chooses to live in the city he must pay an extraordinarily high commission in the form of capital gains or rent to land lords. From a financial standpoint living in the suburbs is the only rational choice.

This type of counterintuitive behavior only occurs because we live in an era where oil is dirt cheap. This is the only time in human history where living farther away from the city is actually cheaper then living closer to it. Before the advent of the automobile, urban infrastructure centered around walkable cities as you will see throughout Europe. One day, as we start running out of oil, the suburbs will become the new ghettos.
> $14500

This seems rather steep and definitely not the norm at Canadian universities. Take a look for example at UBC [1]. It's about 2-3 more than the actual number for most programs for domestic students. And also rather low for international students. It's similar for U of T [2] and McGill [3].

> $25000/year for daycare for two kids

Wow more than a 1000 dollars per kid? That's quite a bit. Is that typical?

This gives me some relief. Great answer, thank you very much
False dichotomy. A single user account being compromised because they exposed the password is not "hacked." Don't let users use weak passwords and have brute-force protection. I'm curious, but did Slack lock accounts out after X failed authentications? They didn't even reveal how they were compromised. Warn users about the dangers of using simple passwords or sharing passwords between services. Make 2FA the default but let users who aren't idiots opt-out.
This reminds me of how awesome NY Times is... I remember watching The Iron Triangle audio slideshow and thinking how great it was: http://www.nytimes.com/packages/khtml/2004/02/28/nyregion/20...

This was something i was planning to build soon for myself. Great job on the UI.One thing kinda bugged me was when you select the source from the sidepanel it collapses for each selection not allowing to select another source without collapsing. I am on OSX Yosemite/Chrome-Version 41.0.2272.104. Also is the backend Elasticsearch?
Is the backend elasticsearch?
thats why the story itself (which is a couple weeks old) and most discussion isn't catching the "real story".

You can find materials and substances that'll survive years at 700C although its non-trivial (not home depot, but no challenge for real engineering). And you can find materials and substances with ridiculous awesome IR profiles that are unfortunately incredible fragile or at least not "engineering useful" tough. But both characteristics in the same material is where the real story is. Its pretty cool.

There is another aspect of industrial scale use, not discussed in the weeks since the story came out, where for example, nickel oxide powder has some serious issues for lungs, and no one seems to know the toxicology of this new stuff. I donno where this stuff fits on the continuum of health, if its better or worse that your example of nickel oxides. It would suck if everything downwind turned into a superfund site, then again maybe its harmless as a charcoal bbq.

I guess a bad computing analogy would be its not very hard to find a low power computing device. Think of TI and microchip pic series of picowatt or nanoamp things. I've fooled around with the 10F220 series for no reason, "just because". And its not hard to find a computing device that does stuff really fast, any ole COTS desktop CPU or high end video card has interesting specs. But finding a processor that simultaneously uses nanowatts of power while making gigaflops of calculations, in 2014 anyway, would be pretty impressive. And getting a good ratio of flops/watt while being engineering-worthless isn't that impressive, but getting a good ratio of flops/watt while being engineering useful and deployable is really cool.
Psychedelics have not been demonstrated to have long-term negative effects. Important to consider that 2% of the general population will have a psychotic disorder and many more will have anxiety, depression, other mental problems at some point.

Why is machine learning not good for this?
This is based on an older project of mine. It started out as an Android app written in Java/Libgdx.

The patterns are actually constructed and drawn directly in code. For the web version, I reused the java code and wrote an interface that passes the drawing calls over to Three.js, respectively now constructing the very same patterns in the browser.

Really glad this is now able to reach a larger audience.
I'm also finding it doesn't work on sites where Adblock worked. For example Aeroplan.com. I've reinstalled it and it still doesn't work.
Maybe his marketing strategy was to only draw in people who use technology based on the merits of said technology and purposefully alienate the people who need an emotional connection to be convinced?

I can certainly see the merits of trying to gain pragmatic mind share first before the buzzword technology crowd joins in and makes things more complicated.
Founded in 1994. How am I just now hearing about this? I'll have to head down to the open house next month.
I believe it's both, but the link above by GR8K I think clarifies HP's positioning: they want to sell companies the cloud infrastructure and the services to go along with them. It's a lucrative business, perhaps much more so than the smartphone space (especially when you realize smartphones will be commoditized like the PC at some point), but I don't know the numbers. They're up against IBM, Cisco, and a few others.
It’s quite astonishing that all planned supply ships will actually supply the ISS.

The good old Russian Progress for cargo, the European ATV for cargo and boosting the station and the Japanese HTV (not actually in this animation) for cargo (both pressurized and unpressurized) as well as International Standard Payload Racks (the ATV can’t bring them up because the ATV docks on the Russian part of the station and the Payload Racks don’t fit through the Russian hatches).

All already had at least one successful mission, all will fly again – which is kinda important, now that the Space Shuttle retires.

The only way to bring people up there will be Soyuz, though. Cheap and extremely reliable Soyuz but it would still be great to have some sort of alternative soon.
Serious question:

What's their rationale for forming a partnership and not incorporating right away as a means of protecting personal assets? Was the official / lawyering process radically different (i.e. terribly expensive) back then?
While his specific examples were about the OpenGL implementation(s), the spirit of his post rings true in other Android subsystems, as well.

For example, camera support can differ greatly across SDK versions and hardware. Camera callbacks need to be implemented conditionally based on whether autofocus is available and selected. EXIF orientation data isn't reliably recorded on some devices, and the EXIF interface class isn't available in older SDK versions. Lastly, your application will crash if you attempt to take or preview a photo using unsupported dimensions, but the function to query the list of supported dimensions isn't available on older SDKs.
I can think of a couple of changes that would make this sort of thing much rarer:

a) Force universities to publish[1] data on average graduate salaries after graduation. That way noone can delude themselves that a $100K major in Cultural Studies is going to be anything other than a financial disaster.

b) Stop subsidising college loans. If not for the explicit and implicit[2] subsidies then no lender would have been willing to provide so much money for a Religious/Women's Studies degree.

[1] And by publish I mean, actually make clear to people who apply or consider applying for these degrees.

[2] For example, the fact that it's unusually hard to discharge student loan debts through bankruptcy.
Why does everything have to be open source?
I think it is totally unfair on the guy. Sure he has made some mistakes, but the people who put their private information online need to take some responsibility!

The interviewers were complaining about having to check over their privacy settings??? Please! This is the _INTERNET_.
I think the main question would be do you currently have access to any resources that you plan on using to create this software? Do they have any experience in this field, or is this going to be a learning experience for them, just like it would be for you.

Estimation is very hard, my suggestion would be to try and find what is the minimum viable product that you want to produce, because in all likelihood you aren't going to be able to duplicate every feature that Autodesk has, and find some developers who have worked on this type of work to give you some idea of time. Even then figure that their estimates are going to be off and add some buffer. But still somewhat of a crap shoot because stuff always pops up.

That's just distasteful to delete data. Just encrypt it with a public key.
what's even more instesting, is that cirfu.net also has this notice up, which is very very strange. Surely they wouldn't take their own site down for gambling offences
You believe your little iOS component is worth $150-$600? That's about as much as someone would pay for a fully-featured 3D game engine, something that thousands of man-hours went in to making and that does an incredible ammount of work for them-- and you're saying that a 1-week iOS component is worth that?

I mean this in the most sincere way, good luck.
Note it's an improvement for a particular sub-reddit.

Edit: nice, someone fixed the title.
Akamai's not doing anything wrong.

OpenDNS is a broken concept.
> And it also assumes that "the problem" is a finite and solvable item.

Yes. To make this a bit more concrete, if "the problem" is making distributed storage look and behave exactly like local storage, the CAP Theorem has something to say about its solvability.
He missed the last part on the title: "in the US"
It's even more mind boggling when this protesters were inside a building that the secret service has multiple ways to completely lock down, and the police had the full support of the national guard to for example establish a second secure perimeter. They basically could have pointed two assault rifles at each protester while having a third police office per protester telling them to identify themselves.

This was the chance for the government to show a response of hollywoodesque proportions and they didn't. This makes the US government look like a joke, it's not a functional democracy. If the government actually relied of this nut-jobs to function, as in like if Trump was actually throwing a coup, it's understandable to act in this way. But the fact that no one on the Metro decided to go all in against this clowns is something that I can't understand.

The crazy progressives that think that Trump is literally the reincarnation of Hitler are saying that it's because they are white and this is Trump's paramilitary. I thought that they were crazy living in their own reality but after seeing how they got away with storming the Capitol I'm starting to think that the woke conspiracy theories are truer than I thought.
YES! Wearing yourself out does wonders for your sleep. I'd bet that 99% of people with sleeping problems have sitting jobs.

Only exhausting your brain without exhausting your body will just make you weary without making you feel sleepy. Your mind needs rest but your body is restless because it wants action :)

I remember when I had to do a mandatory 6-month army service period after college and during that time it took me about 2 minutes after lights-out to fall asleep. Actually, I was sooo sleepy all of the time that I learned how to take short naps whenever and whenever I could (especially after lunch).

The experience made me realize that, for most of the people who have it, insomnia was not a health problem that should be treated with drugs but just an imbalance between body and spirit, if I may say so :)
The way I would approach it is, to create a really simple table which, contains the pros of fixing the current code on one side and doing a rewrite on the other.

Then I would provide the benefits of doing both and then I'd present this to the person and say having, looked at our current code I believe that we should rewrite it because of X, Y and Z, in fact I'd even summarize this at the bottom of the table as well incase they want to take the table away and think about it.
Indeed, if the system became common enough, one could hypothesize a good percentage of the world's energy running "mining" machines... and the related global warming...
Actually, I'd pretty much agree with you wholesale. The only thing I'd further add is that there should be both adversarial and non-adversarial gaming in the mix. There is a certain element of maturity building you get out of adversarial "gaming" with Candyland that non-adversarial gaming either can't introduce, or will have a much harder time introducing, and vice versa.
Who's they? Isn't the system supposed to be decentralized?

What if "they" change their minds?
I once did this. However it involved some in-depth analysis of problems with the existing code, and new ideas on how to solve the same problems. This came about because the existing code didn't really fit a feature they were trying to add on
I would include links to your previous projects, what your expectations are, and references. It will help people see that you have a little "skin in the game".
I just have to say, I love Robert Harper's blog. He writes like I imagine Paul Graham would, if he were a slightly pedantic college professor--with crisp sentences that make points, dammit.

His book on Standard ML is wonderful: http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~rwh/smlbook/book.pdf
I am so sorry, but what is Black? I use django but I have never heard of Black
> For example, constant time subscripting, or improved length calculations, are made possible by encodings other than utf-8.

Assuming you mean different encoding forms of Unicode (rather than entirely different and far less comprehensive character sets, such as ASCII or Latin-1), there are very few use cases where "subscripting" or "length calculations" would benefit significantly from using a different encoding form, because it is rare that individual Unicode code points are the most appropriate units to work with.

(If you're happy to sacrifice support for most of the world's writing systems in favour of raw performance for a limited subset of scripts and text operations, that's different.)
Good point about a signature not hiding the data. I got my terminology mixed up. I thought it was encoding it in a way so that only the payment processor could see.

But that's not necessarily the case either, as somebody else brought up the fact that identifiers ARE in fact passed to the merchant.
Price/performance is absolutely terrible on AWS.

What most people don't realize and/or talk about with AWS is how much more expensive it is than in-house/co-lo/dedicated elsewhere.
Well, the vote hasn't happened yet. But the fact that it has come "down to the wire" literally and figuratively is perhaps foreshadowing for the impending doom of this legislation.

Because it threatens the nature of viral. More eyeballs being directed at fewer outlets is a recipe for ignorance.

Viral can't be viral under the oppression of corporate agenda. It's like the loudest voice in the room getting all the attention. This gives a megaphone to that person. Which wouldn't be that bad, if the loudest person was actually saying something interesting. But they rarely do.
As would I.

Of course there is no point in having a million bucks as a single person. Yes, you'd probably just blow it.

With a family? Million dollars to have a comfortable home mostly paid for, college tuition sorted, no concerns about healthcare costs. If I got a million dollars tomorrow, almost nothing would change. Because most of it would go into securing the future and giving me more time with the kids.
Like Walmart and barcodes, maybe this is the final push that's needed. As for strong-arming, I'd say they have every right to demand suppliers who eat their own dog food. They've got a lot at stake.
I don't really think it matters for a number of reasons. Chief among them being motivation. If you are motivated enough to copy this idea then you would reverse engineer it as soon as you heard what they are doing without knowing exactly how, which is what I did knowing that they were based on nodejs and I know how nodejs handles buffers.

Ultimately, if you are a provider of services, these or any other, you will add functionality or run the risk of being eclipsed.
I had heard some of these statistics in "Waiting for Superman", but I didn't know the origin of their data. I am amazed at how much damage can be done by some small fraction of bad teachers.
You should read about Hugh MacLeod's "Sex & Cash" theory.
It is odd that Atwood calls these people "scrapers" when I'm pretty sure they are just using the dump file that you can download and then doing better SEO than SO (in the past, seems like SO now ranks ahead of them in most cases).
Does Air still require a shared runtime component to be installed beforehand? We all know how well that worked with Java.
So here's a related question. If someone wanted to snag a developer that really understood coffeescript and js development, where should they be looking?
Maybe 3-tier refers to 3rd normal form?
