Containerization is indeed better, for those applications that work well in containers. Many applications don't always behave well in containers, and the container model requires not only that your app work in container environments, but that your development and deployment process works with containers.

I suspect that many organizations will start to migrate apps to containers, see that they require a fundamentally different set of tools and processes, and migrate back. The reason VMs work as well as they do is that they look just like regular servers.

That does not mean that containers will never succeed, just that it will take a long time for the tooling and processes and knowledge about containers to be common and commodity enough for many organizations to take advantage of them.

I used to get pretty frustrated by it. I can't do anything about other people's bad driving habits.

I now try and pay more attention to the speed at which they approach the roundabout, and their lane positioning/angle. I probably take more "chances" because I drive an auto with a bit of grunt.
I wonder why .yu (Yugoslavia) isn't there.

The article covers reproducibility. The test does reliably reproduce results, at least if you don't quantize to boolean. Jung doesn't matter. Being a cash cow doesn't matter.

There is nothing in the field of psychology with better support than IQ. If you aren't going to accept IQ, then you've entirely tossed out the field of psychology. There is nothing left.
Most FPS games suffer from “peekers advantage” due to the client side simulation of the player moving. Basically they can pop out or move around a corner and shoot before the movement has time to replicate from the server to you. The worse your latency the more advantage another player has.
This comedy piece usually sends my family into laughter when I try to ask Google Auto to play a song or to call someone.

I end up with some vulgarities and ask my children to do it the old fashioned way (that is to tap the name on their phones, not to use smoke signals)
Look at recent trends in the price of the mac pro, or how much their headphones cost.

Heck, the stand for the mac pro monitor is $999.
Yeah, the disk space issue is what I'm concerned with. I'd prefer not to use local disk space to store a copy of my emails but I haven't been able to find a way to disable local storage in Mail.app.
I'm 49, and started programming as a kid, I was similar, I spent a lot of time programming (and still do, day job and for fun). working on maybe an average of 30hours a week, my upper bound is around 65k-70k.
Not sure if that was your intention, but I would pay Apple level prices for this.
I kinda don't get the point. What does he mean?

I'm afraid to sound rude, but can't find a way to conduct the point otherwise.
They have certainly been vague on those details. I assume it is because they are investigating, but maybe they are trying to protect an engineering failure or some otherwise embarrassing detail from leaking. "Forgot to plug it in" might make for some ugly headlines. Probably better to just tell us already since it will inevitably come out.
General purpose computing is one possible safeguard, it also has pretty big and clear downsides for many consumers and isn't obviously the right choice for most.

And again, the proof is in the pudding. If closed-down markets degrade and become awful over time, the market will eventually reflect and account for that in the future. Long-term consequences eventually materialize into immediate consequences after all. In fact, the market exists to validate lofty claims like yours because history is filled with failed attempts to dictate what people should produce, by minorities like you who believe they know better than the people who buy them.

> I do think it's slightly problematic to assume that users are conscious enough of security to make an educated decision to opt into a locked-down platform, but are not educated enough to avoid flipping a switch in the settings that turns that environment off and on.

This seems pretty obviously true to me. It's quite easy to realize you suck at security, all you need to do is suffer a security breach or know of one. For example, the Windows era taught many users just how insecure they could be, the lessons were pretty simple. Knowing when to disable security guardrails, however, requires actual security knowledge that most users don't have. We know users usually don't have them because Windows tested this with UAC, which users happily and quickly disabled to allow malicious programs that they didn't really evaluate at all; A long and painful case study in "how to let your users choose to fuck themselves".

Of course users don't think about a tradeoff between open access and security, the choice is obvious to them. Security matters and open access doesn't. On the one hand you have the tangible risk of getting your stuff or info stolen, and on the other you have danShumway's nebulous & unproven prophecies of a day that will soon(tm) come where the lack of open access causes stuff to degrade and become awful.

I don't personally make the same tradeoff because open access matters more to me personally, but I think the majority of consumers have made legitimate choices for themselves. They know what they want and have made choices to support their desires, same as you or I, and frankly no one should be able to violate their choices.
I suppose the upper limit would be becoming the economy itself. Imagine monetary policy being set by https://treasury.amazon.gov.
Very interesting point. Of course, it begs the question : If Microsoft was so alert to the potential for the Kinect to be hacked, does that mean that there's a potential way to crack XBox security embedded in the Kinect? There has to be a reason for their narrow-minded initial legal response.
- lack of experience and expertise. Canada is a relatively young country with very few major infra projects under its belt.

Wait? We need to have 14th century church building experience to be considered experienced at building infrastructure?
No indeed there's no gun, and luckily if you can't afford a car to drive, Uber would love to sell you a subprime auto loan as see on FTC TV: https://www.ftc.gov/news-events/blogs/business-blog/2017/01/...

I wonder if we would all feel the same about some other ponzi scheme.
Oscillating charges emit electromagnetic waves that carry away some energy.
Yeah, that makes sense. Hopefully that's an incomplete list of examples.
It doesn't matter how much backup you have in the organization if the product is missing essential functionality. LibreOffice just doesn't have everything that MS Office does. That doesn't matter for some businesses but for others it creates a total block.
w3m works fine for me.

Any reason people prefer lynx over w3m or eww?
Typing on a mobile device.
Thanks. The list you are making is very good, it's a destination in itself.

As said elsewhere, the extension helps to avoid clicking on the same story twice when the title changed. (I will add url monitoring too.)
What makes them convenient is availability and driver mass. Prices are an added bonus but not the main USP. Not to me anyway.
you have to trust the chip makers, the BIOS maker, the network interface card maker

So, what you're saying is we might as well just give up, and purposely store all our data on Google's file servers and give up all data and information privacy, because all network chip manufacturers and internet providers are already sniffing all our data?
In the process of sending out the emails.
Will it do C++? I still haven't found a good C++ editor (with class member autocomplete popups and such) - at least, nothing that compares to Visual Studio over in the Windows world.
I enjoyed reading that, if not for the story, then for the author's writing style. It's funny that even with all of the social stuff going on these days, the web seems to be getting much more impersonal.
I completely agree! After realizing that the team at my new job prefers full-on BDD with Cucumber I took a closer look at testing frameworks. My conclusion was that T::U and Shoulda/Coulda in combination with Webrat does just about everything I need it to do. It's simple enough for me to write quickly and I don't struggle to read it 6 months later.

And that's good enough for me.
The story was pretty good for a while, but then it devolved into the guy describing for pages his "epic" quest to get media attention. Eventually, the pages are interspersed with ads to buy his book, his DVD, to donate, etc. Really good start, but went way downhill.
Ditto. I'm quite happy with my qwerty-keyboard dumbphone, but I would love to buy one of these!
I've never looked into WakeMate before as sleeping is one thing I can do really well, but I thought it shipped earlier this year? I only see one product listed, is this really new?
Focus on what needs to get done.
On some level, they can't prevent you from just using the backend. Unfortunately just maintaining a fork with different branding is essentially a full time job, I used to do this so that I could use a work and personal number in two instances of the app but it was too much effort to be worthwhile.
Do you know why expenses are that high?
You're talking specifically about murder and such.

Surely, the reason the incarceration rate is 6 times higher in the USA than in Canada isn't because Canada is soft on first degree murder.
I think you should change your question to "which -parts- of firefox will be redone in rust and is there a road map for that?"
I don't want to council despair but I'm not as sanguine as you either. Intel has had disastrous microarchitectures before. Itanium, P4, and previous ones. But it's never had to worry about recovering from a process disaster before. It might very well be able to but I worry.
Debian will make an announcement in a bit less than 2 weeks:

https://www.debian.org/vote/2021/vote_002

The most popular proposal seems to be "Call on the FSF to further its governance processes", but "Denounce the witch-hunt against RMS and the FSF" and the support letter are also among the proposals.
How about windows?
Thanks, I'll delete this one
People on this site might forget other facts people consider when buying a computer.

I would have jumped on the apple bandwaggon years ago, if only I could buy one with Windows. I know about bootcamp, I have several unix machines, but for my personal computer Linux/Unix is not an option (yet).

Even if Apple computers would become cheaper. And I'm far from alone with this attitude. Hear I'm the minority. I love the Apple hardware, but "No Thanks" to MacOS.

What would happen if I could walk into an AppleStore, and buy a new MBAir with windows7 on it?
What do you think? Would it outsell the MBAir with MacOS?
Assume I'm barely competent at both Perl and Python. Can you explain how looping over repeated regular expressions is more powerful and useful than core language support for grammars and arbitrary tree transformations?

(I approve of Python's named captures, though even Perl 5 has had those for almost three years now.)

... over a decade and a half-hearted attempt at rewriting the language...

In truth, the Perl 6 redesign began a few months after Python 3000, in July 2000.
I don't know of a digital version of the comic.
I love it! I was on my way to bed when i saw this on HN, 45 minutes later.. Woah. I would definitely read a sequel. This made my mind spin, not sure i'll manage to sleep now :-D

Makes you wonder though, would this actually be possible? And if so, how could we prevent it? Not that we can prevent the unpredictable, but too much of todays internet requires constant maintenance, we have the web 2.0, how about a internet 2.0 where some changes are made to keep it alive no matter what? (theoretically speaking, not suggesting this is a good solution).

Would have to be planned in the open too, making a open sourced new plan-spec of the new internet.
Naively, I ask: does this affect Apple's Facetime? http://www.apple.com/mac/facetime/

Yep, in the sense of cocoa vs gtk. But rather than a port to js, it's a port to canvas.
Commercial real estate does this, because the leases are so long and turnover is expensive with buildout allowances and such, and they sometimes have weird financing schemes that penalize the owner if they lease too low. Residential has none of that, so there's minimal reason to hold properties off the market (and it generally doesn't happen.)
Sounds like Apple products.
Not when Cancer is responsible for 1/3 of all deaths - the maths just don't work.
You got the stupidity/malice-greed quote entirely backwards :). You aren't supposed to attribute to malice anything that can be explained by stupidity.
Hmm. Surely in order to "display" you need to "manipulate" (someone has to write the text rendering library, although ideally only once). And the simple action of "enter filename" crosses both those domains.

Then there's the whole classic domain of parsers and lexers as the front end to programming languages. I appreciate this gets upsettingly difficult if it's also a security boundary, where things like invisible spaces are a threat, but it remains important.

Maybe what we need is to go the other way from asking interns to reverse strings, and ask library writers to provide some slightly higher-level functions that don't rely on regex. Perhaps LINQ for strings? Most languages give you "split", which is the very beginning of a tokeniser, but we need something a bit more powerful.

A good test case might be writing the notoriously difficult "do these two URLs refer to the same resource?" program.
I'm doing exactly this now on an RPi running Docker Swarm. Only difference is that I pay Namecheap for the domain, so Cloudflare is free...I know Swarm is outdated, but it was super easy to start being useful on just one node, now it's running all sorts of things for me.

But yeah, it's just a shell script that hits the API every 10 mins.
This is an article about the city of Östersund written in 2018, the few links between the Spanish flu and any reform are tenuous at best.

Having said that, I grew up in Östersund and found the article fascinating and a good read.

One interesting thing is that now, a 100 years later, the tourism of the region once again brings a pandemic. Swedens largest ski resort Åre, an hour west of Östersund, has a bunch of Covid-19 cases that has spread through after ski parties (which has since stopped).

Some context to the article not relating to Covid-19:

Jämtland, the region where Östersund is located, is located in the geographic middle of Sweden, but is considered to be in the northern parts because the demographic of the country is heavily skewed south. In the west it borders Norway and in 1563–1677 it switched between being part of Denmark/Norway and Sweden 13(!) times. Perhaps as a result of this there is still a strong sense of regional identity. Among other things Jämtland is a "fake republic" with a "fake president" which gives a speech during the music festival once a year. This is just in good fun and the speech is mostly about peace, love and understanding, but hearing 15k people singing the regional anthem "Jämtlandssången" after the speech always gives me goosebumps.

Östersund has always been strategically important militarily, in semi-recent times because the Soviet Union would have to pass it to take Trondheim in Norway and the harbor there. The article mentions the airbase closing down, but there were other military units that were disbanded as well. The article touches on this mentioning the university, but another reason the town is still successful today is that it also supported newly unemployed military personel in starting companies. Since one of the units that were disbanded(/moved?) was the military technical school, the city managed to keep a bunch of people with higher education which might otherwise have relocated and now has a few tech-companies and a somewhat entrepreneurial spirit.

This is just some stream of consciousness stuff, while I live in Stockholm now I got excited "my city" was featured on HN. :)

It is a beautiful city and region with fantastic nature and a very long and fascinating history, definitely visit it if you have the opportunity!
That Sweden is a socialist country. Socialism is not the same as Social-Democratic which is what most countries in Europe are. Call it capitalism with a social security net.

It's the Guardian, it's to be expected.
Looking at "Core Language" I was dismayed not to find any builtin floating point data type.

In "Phix vs Conventional Languages" I'm told that "1/2 is always 0.5". And "Library Routines" / "Math" includes sin, cos and tan. What's going on here?
There is actually! I was told about it over the phone with an App Review rep a few weeks ago. I didn't write it down unfortunately, but I think it was appreview@apple.com - googling for that e-mail address returns some results, so I am pretty positive that was it.
Similar experience here - lotsa years at startups, then something worked out great and part of the deal was I had to join $MEGACORP for a couple of years. I left as soon as my time was up, and a big part of it was due to the absurd amount of meetings.

Now back at another startup (10 people), we have no meetings other than a 20 minute Monday call for some sync-up that otherwise doesn't occur naturally. It's wonderful.
Why should we be confident that the police will be able to get it under control?
One of the articles of impeachment was on obstruction of justice. In a normal court that would have been open and shut. The White House was extraordinary and blatant with the obstruction. It was well documented. The conviction on the obstruction charge was voted down by an even larger margin than the collusion charge, which I thought was strange because thanks to all of the obstruction the hard evidence was a bit lacking. They had few documents to work with because the Trump Whitehouse explicitly refused to honor all of the subpoenas they were served.

Basically he knew that the Senate would cover for any crime so long as he delivered the votes, so he ran the place like a mob boss.
Unfortunately this is also going to be another superspreader event. Odds are this will lead to fatalities even without this violence.
I'd take $1.91 per GB for phones. I don't use that much mobile data so it's not a big deal but it's $10/GB for me on Tracfone.
"no faith in the election since voting required the use of hackable electronic voting machines."

The voting machines produce a paper ballot, which can be recounted and audited.

The elections were fine.

100% of the issue is derived from Trump's attempt to sow doubt, and of course, his enablers.
But when media organizations peddling outright lies are allowed to call it "news", and are treated as being just as valid as genuine journalistic organizations by the various institutions of our country, it is, for want of a better term, no longer a "free market" of news.
This is interesting. Indeed the certification report you found does not mention 6GHz. But according to Intel's AX210 whitepaper[1] "The product supports dual-stream Wi-Fi in the 2.4GHz, 5GHz and 6GHz bands". So I certainly hope it supports 6Ghz now. I'll be very disappointed if it doesn't.

Is the Xiaomi router for sale with 6Ghz enabled? I can't seem to find it on their web site. I saw a few listings on AliExpress for a 2021 AX6000, but they did not mention 6Ghz.

Scala.JS is an alternative if you write Scala, a compile target for the browser (or Node of course) that also can use most Typescript libraries via the Scalablytyped plugin
That's a pretty selfish way of seeing things. The isolation is not that severe.
I would be interested in seeing some spark v dask benchmarks too. Haven’t seen any yet though.

In my experience, Dask really shines when you implement custom numpy computations that could only be done in spark UDFs. We saw a decent performance difference there, but for common built-in computations I’d imagine that spark has better performance.

Edit: after some googling I found this paper with benchmarks.

https://arxiv.org/pdf/1907.13030.pdf

> Results show that despite slight differences between Spark and Dask, both engines perform comparably. However, Dask pipelines risk being limited by Python’s GIL depending on task type and cluster configuration. In all cases, the major limiting factor was data transfer.
Not the op, but I think any consolation of media will make people care less about their neighborhood and more about the world, which might be a good and a bad thing. Bad in that local news are often a tiny bit more actionable and social building, and good in that it makes progress faster.

I remember when I moved to another country and was absolutely shocked that they had local restaurant reviews on the news channels. Really appreciated it instead of all the doom and gloom. I visited quite a lot of them!
If we vaccinate enough people to get the fatally rate well below the flu there is absolutely no reason not to go back to the old way. There is no 100% safe but there is a level at which hospitals are not overwhelmed and people are accepting the risk of being alive.
How? It would take one minute for a dude with some sniffer on his wifi to find the DNS entries and CDN used. Go to the press with "Parler is being hosted out of domain Foo w/ CDNfront" and viola.
It's the #1 reason why so many people have been voting against their own interest for the past 20 years
I guess I was thinking, get a random sample of newspaper issues from each of a number of newspapers, and for each article in each of them, get a subject matter expert (or, not necessarily an expert, but someone knowledgeable in the field), and give a random ordering of (a selection of) the articles in the issue, and have them read them in that order, reviewing how accurate they think the information is before going on to the next one,
And then evaluate whether, if they thought any inaccuracies they found in the article about the topic that they have a good understanding of, whether that influences the accuracy they estimate of the later articles.

Or something like that.

Maybe have them answer some other questions about the articles other than just accuracy, such as quality of writing, in order to be less likely to cause them to re-consider how they are estimating accuracy?

And I suppose by “accuracy” I mean to also include “not misleading”, in addition to just “not false”.
