workflow: porting code between everything, running bash scripts, building software.

Reduce vulnerability. No system is invulnerable, but sadly we run Windows in a sandbox or not at all.

And portability, I don't care if you fake it as long as it works. Don't require weird stuff. C:\AUTOEXEC.BAT, bash and zsh are "just interfaces." I don't usually interact directly with mach or the linux kernel that would be weird. For instance, over time OS X has had a line of dispatch mechanisms, launchd, Grand Central Dispatch, ... They all work, but they are different (weird.) Don't even get people started about systemd on Linux. crontab should work on OS X, and Windows because it's "just an interface." The underlying layers are Microsoft's kernel and services. We're just using an interface.

Don't require weird stuff. At the same time, don't break things.

UNIX

POSIX API layer

coreutils https://www.gnu.org/software/coreutils/

Homebrew installs the stuff you need that Microsoft didn’t. http://brew.sh/

Obviously, don't install coreutils, homebrew, fill-in-the-blank by default. But make them easily installable and seamless once installed. Keep the core OS lean.

Adopt Linux, OS X, Google Play, and whoever else comes on the scene. If you do, then Microsoft OS is the killer OS because it runs ALL the programs. I should be able to run programs for different architectures in Windows. Virtual layers via VMs, compatibilty layers, simulators, and emulators are sweet. ie. "wine weirdProgramForWin32.Exe", running a Mac OS X PowerPC program on OS X Intel or Arm, or ...

Please lose the "CP/M" (MS-DOS) creatures. Here's a short wish list of things because they bother me:

* go with a single character newline: change from CR LF to LF
* make notepad play nice with newlines
* change \ to /
* mount umount: the drive letters are old and \\ is weird
* text files don't need the .TXT extension
* change .HTM to .html, or get rid of extensions.
* executables don't need the .EXE extension
* file permissions: hidden-extension.jpg.EXE should not be executable by default
* don't take over the boot block of my hard drive, allow grub or whatever to boot Windows

See Linus Torvalds comments on filenames -- case sensitivity amongst many other hard to salve problems. See the Apple devs comments on Microsoft Office filenames. All of this, not just Microsoft, seems broken to me. Why can't I put a "/" in my filename in Linux? Why can't I put ":" in my filename on OS X? Windows paths? I know why, but I feel like there is a better way. Simple, but not too simple.

Basically, allow interoperability: make things work. OS X is good, Linux is better. Microsoft could be the best. People like using what they are used to. The Windows interface is familiar. A mobile interface intermixed with the familiar Windows interface is confusing. Again, it's "just an interface." I was hoping Windows 9 might be more like Windows 7. Hopefully, looking forward to Windows 10. Good luck.

My question for you is: How do you manage complexity?
Without a good counterindication, I'll probably end up forking this and adding VirtualEnvWrapper because I like the workflow better than plain VirtualEnv. Is there any particular reason you don't include it? Perhaps the deployment automation mostly moots the VirtualEnvWrapper wins, making it not worth the increased complexity?

P.S. This is a very timely release for me. I've done a few manual deploys of almost this exact stack, and have a major project for my company that I need to port to Django. However, I wanted to learn and use Ansible before attacking the job to lower maintenance costs. This looks like it will be a tremendous leg up on that task.
I do realize that is what was asked of them. But that doesn't necessarily mean that was the correct way to go about it.

The Serial Number / Model Number information on the other hand should work if enough details are provided.
IE 11 is fine. Good, even. They've already solved 90% of the actual problems people have - just not developer perceptions.

I don't want a rendering engine monoculture.
The use case presented was the sharing of a news article. If I email a colleague a hyperlink to an article it would be highly unusual to experience link-rot in the expected timeframe for them to open the email and click the link.

I might experience one 404 a month. Even if you multiply that by ten to account for selective memory, link rot is a good example of something that sounds like it will be a massive problem, but generally isn't in reality.
If the samples don't occupy the full range, then a Huffman table or related encoding could reduce the storage requirements. Ignoring encoding overhead, at most ~12 bits per sample are needed if everything works as the author intended, or ~14.8 bits using the range from https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9272071
Is that why my neural network can't make any sense of GoL progression? 2^512 possible rules...
Ironically, the one time I know of a government guaranteeing freedom of expression, down to the right to be provided with printing presses if needed was … the Soviet constitution.

(Source: a memory of a comparative politics lecture in college, where the professor used it as an example of what’s written and what’s implemented being sometimes a little different...)
People have been faking videos for as long as video has existed. Deepfakes is just a scary new word for what people would call "CGI" or "VFX".
It depends on the context. I had the math professor lecturing her students in mind.
I've been using ES off and on since before 1.0 came out. It has always baffled me that ES doesn't require a username and password by default.

ES is a database that has to exist on a network to be usable. Heck, it expects that you have multiple nodes, and will complain if you don't. So one of the first things you do is expose it to the network so you can use it.

Yes, it takes some serious incompetence to not realize you need to secure your network, but why in the world would you not add basic authentication into ES from the start? I'd never design a tool like a database without including authentication.

I am serious about my question. Could anyone clue me in?
Yeah, OpenVAS is a nasty piece of work to set up and operate reliably. Especially headless.

Shameless plug: I got it to work. Will be doing a talk about the experience at week's DC4420 meeting.
How is this not the accepted definition of DevOps?
http://donovanbrown.com/post/what-is-devops

"DevOps is the union of people, process, and products to enable continuous delivery of value to our end users."
I think Google's scale is a problem here. They're always talking about the "next billion users". With that mindset, nothing short of hundreds of millions of users is a success.
Posthuman was taken?
Ok, I've signed my cellphone footage of a crime being committed. Now what? How does that prove my footage was taken where I said, when I said?
If it is true that supply lines are collapsing, then obtaining necessities may come closer to home. My town of Marion Ohio, with a fairly stable population of about 35k people, used to be more more industrialized. There was a factory to make pianos, steam engine powered tractor makers, small metal refiners, at one time there was a car factory, all at the turn of the 20th century. I'm not optimistic that all that will come back, but for things like foods, especially fermented food and drink will be in demand out stripping supply for a while. Even packaging, may be done more and more by cottage industries.
I saw a study from long ago, maybe the 1980s, which researched US and Chinese high school education. As I recall, people in the US high schools mostly thought that success in education was due to natural talent, while people in the high schools in China thought it was overwhelmingly due to hard work. The kids in the Chinese schools did much better on the tests.

> This hierarchical nonsense about it only being worthwhile for the "chosen few" NBA superstars is not productive

Agreed. It also takes away the dreams of and opportunities from a lot of people.
Everyone thinks they're the person who's right that 1% of the time about the thing everyone else is conservatively wrong about.
New York is fine for a visit but I'd never want to live there.
You think the supposed experts have additional evidence, so you're treating their claim to have evidence as evidence in itself. You're unaware that they have no more evidence than you already did.
Pet peeve: Define your constants (at least units!). If I know the constants by heart, I probably remember the equation.
Strange that they didn't include Northern Ireland in their research, it would have been interesting to have data for the whole of the UK rather than just part of it.
YES! So many old school projects hosted on janky sites that are immeasurably harder to contribute to. Looking forward to getting them all moved.

...as long as GitHub doesn't become an evil empire of some sort.
Yes, of course. But, for example, the phone not working because the volume is set low would be a stupid complaint.
Smells like an NSA honeypot to me...
Presumably they don't also charge separately for requests, CPU cycles, or bandwidth, so the storage costs include that.
There has been 2 threads about Apple decreasing software quality, I found theses reports to be totally bogus. If there has been a piece of technology that is falling in quality it is Android, Lollipop is the worst update ever :

Wrong, current image sensors have around ~50% quantum efficiency nowadays. [1] That's 1 f-stop from the theoretical maximum, while they're pushing around 10 f-stops above the top-of-the-line mobile phone cam / security cam.

The pace of technology is still limited by physics - if they take out the 2kW monster flash then the lens size needs to be increased to a diameter of several meters, just to maintain the same performance at a distance of 1 meter (!).

Sure. I run a small business (http://skitrails.info/) offering real-time GPS tracking of grooming equipment at ski resorts. The resorts use the data for operations management, and to prepare reports for public consumption (i.e. what's groomed).

I'm mostly using cellular/mobile vehicle trackers (of which there are hundreds of vendors), but for regions where there's no cell/mobile coverage, we fall back to satellite options. With lots of optimization, it's only slightly more expensive for our use-case.

Specifically, we deploy these units:

http://www.skywave.com/en/our-technology/satellite-cellular-...

which use the Inmarsat constellation. The specs probably aren't quite up to being attached directly to an airplane, but with the right housing and a heater, they're probably not far off.

The trick for finding robust off-the-shelf gear is to look for industries that operate in remote regions, like oil and gas, and maritime. They also have fairly harsh operating conditions, so equipment sold there is usually fairly tough.

Prices have really come down over the last 5 years.
It depends. Is Elliot Rodger’s manifesto part of "the World"?
> It just lacks features.

Does it work on NVidia closed source driver?
I thought that this wasn't the case yet..
I think anyone who wants to be able to stick with a system as they grow, get supportive help from an active user base, reuse the work of others in the form of useful libraries, and not worry about the viability and future of their development environment should use something like LispWorks, Allegro CL, Clozure CL, or SBCL. LispWorks and Allegro CL are just as easy to install and use on Windows as Corman Lisp.
One of the problems is however carefully you craft your question somebody who should never been admin will find a way to flag it. Ask about a list of common ways/libraries/etc and boom - ban! Don't need to ask which is best (which could plausibly start a flamewar), just asking a smart question is enough. (And yes, I agree that people karma-farming is annoying, but could they please use community wiki or something instead of closing good questions with interesting questions?)

Also, smart, general questions are not the only questions to be closed: I got one closed on networking because the problem was between two company networks, not inside. There is an obvious reason for a rule about company networks and that is to keep hone networking out, not because we need another subsection for WANs, no?

Yeah, Bitcoin is great, I agree :)

It seems pretty natural to me that someone who believes in Bitcoin would also purchase it.

We're sorry the answer to "why can't we have nice things" wasn't [political party], it was lobbyists. Lobbyists is the answer to, "why can't we have nice things"!
I'm not sure what's the situation in Tx. especially in December, but here in NY getting an appointment is the limiting factor. Even as of today, there are no appointments available for eligible recipients till mid April. An appointment only gets you through the door, and if you can't make it you have to get a fresh appointment through the state website. The vaccination site itself cannot reschedule your appointment for the next day - it can only book a follow up for the second dose weeks later.

Source: I work at a medical school, and was told this by the doctor managing the vaccination line. He walks up and down the line, counting the number of people who showed up and opens the vials accordingly, but he's not in a position to ask anybody to come the next day. At least with Moderna, it's 10 doses per vial. Even though my employer had sufficient vaccine supply for us, our hospital was overrun with COVID cases in early January and medical staff to actually perform the vaccination was in short supply. The senior medical students were recruited to help out, and even then it would take many weeks to cover our staff. I actually got vaccinated at a different site 30 miles away, but I doubt this is an option available to most people. If you miss your appointment you're screwed.
10%, 50%, 80% doesn't matter. Any node who wants to change Bitcoin's code and rules is free to do so.

It just creates an additional coin and it already has happened dozen of times (Bitcoin Gold, Bitcoin SV, Bitcoin ABC, Bitcoin Cash, ...). Some of them claim to be "the real Bitcoin" but market consensus seems to disagree: All of them are either dead or valued at <1/100 of Bitcoin.

As long as you run your own node you define for yourself what Bitcoin is.
Fine. I see no problem with some small percentage of people gaming the system as long as the people who actually need help are not denied help (or forced through unreasonable hoops to get help).
With docker all container have their own ip address and (potential) internal DNS name.

But this can't be done rootless.

So with rootless podman all container map to the same ip address but different ports.

This is for some use cases (e.g. spinning up a DB for integration testing) not a problem at all. For others it is.

More over you can run multiple groups of docker containers in separate networks, you can't do so with rootless podman.

Through you can manage networks with rootfull podman (which still has no deamon and as such works better with e.g. capabilities and the audit sub system then docker does).

Through to get the full docker-compose experience you need to run it as a deamon (through systemd) in which case you can use docker-compose with podman but it has most of the problems docker has.
Note that Claris/FileMaker is a subsidiary of Apple.
The Apple Watch has a walkie talkie mode which works for person to person communication.
My parents are not too tech savvy to install and use another messenger app. I installed watsapp on their phones when i was in India last time. Even if i can go there and install signal for them, I wont to do that.

This is ok tradeoff for me. Its fine. Being able to video chat with my parents trumps everything else.
Personally I think Apple's new hardware looks good (both inside and outside) but their software doesn't really impress me. I would rather run standard Linux software like I usually do. I certainly won't buy any Apple hardware until that is a viable option. I'm also not interested in running my daily driver OS as a VM client.
What was the massive cost to the American public?
BBVA is also closing Azlo, the business bank that Stripe Atlas uses (used?) for LLCs. Looks to me like BBVA is attempting to annoy as many customers as possible.

I love Simple to death. They overnighted a cashier's cheque for me, for free, on holiday. They've been nothing but kind and I truly hate to see them go. I really really loved being a Simple customer.
I don’t know why they sold to BBVA a while ago, but BBVA’s US operations just got sold to PNC a couple months ago. I’m guessing that simple is closing because there isn’t space for it at PNC.

Talking to investors in the space, it seems like most people in the data field understand the tool differences pretty clearly, but it's really hard to understand as an outsider. What angle are you coming at it from?

While it's not in-depth, I thought these articles did a good job of clarifying what each tool is not.

https://towardsdatascience.com/25-hot-new-data-tools-and-wha...
https://towardsdatascience.com/20-more-hot-data-tools-and-wh...

Most tools boil down to the following categories, with some overlapping into 2 or 3 of them.

- Sourcing & Extraction (Fivetran, Stitch, Xplenty)

- Testing & Alerting (Montecarlo, Toro Data, Anamalo, Great Expectations)

- Cleaning & Transformation (dbt, Talend, Alteryx)

- Storage (Bigquery, Redshift, Snowflake)

- Delivery & Syncing (Census, Hightouch)

- Analyzing & Querying (PopSQL, Jupyter, Count, Hex Tech),

- Visualizing & Reporting (Looker, Tableau, Domo)

- Model Development (Sagemaker, DataRobot, Algorithmia)

- Orchestration & Automation (Shipyard, Airflow, Prefect)
Are you trying to say that engineers are inherently more moral in their decisions?
Wow, FastAPI looks like a very cool framework. I guess I was moreso curious in how one would take a model that works in a Jupyter notebook and restructure it to be callable / have a self re-training data pool of images that were submitted. (obv this feature would pose some legal risk)
That's actually a little hard to describe exactly. In short, I do whatever needs to be done on the technical side of things - from front-end development to setting up the servers. There are two particular things that I think I'm good at - debugging and performance tuning.

I think I'll be able to call myself a full-stack developer in a few years time but for now I'm happy to be called just a RoR web developer.
And given that in the beginning there was a Big Bang, we can assume that this is what happens when the black hole becomes large enough.
Except in Germany cars need to undergo an roadworthiness inspection every 24 months and the driving test is much more strict there. If you have a pulse, you can get a license in America.
The author is wrong. The people who are experts at doing this kind of thing for a living very much believe that a general nuclear war will destroy nearly all infrastructure.

Don't just believe random bloggers with no expertise in the things they're bullshitting about. Even in the open source world, there is an entire body of expert information on this topic that contradicts what this guy is saying.
hyphenated-names also makes it much easier to see and remember whether you split something that might be a compound word- did i call it hotDog or hotdog? while hot-dog jumps out as more distinct and harder to mix up with hotdog

plus the canonicalization as ALL-CAPS makes it easy to point out SYMBOLS among the prose of documentation

edit: and people make fun of it for having like six equality functions, but at least it's only got one false value
You're right, I was mixing it up with the Guatemala syphilis experiments.

Clearly the vaccine conspiracy theories are mostly nuts, but I think what GP poster was getting at is that the truth is often somewhere in the middle. Yeah there are no microchips from Bill Gates in there, but.. I don't know.. will we end up finding that a bunch of safety data was fudged to get a vaccine out quickly? Maybe. That happens anyway, so it wouldn't surprise me that much. Certainly in the UK, some of the data was technically correct but presented to the public in a misleading way.

Point is, I'm sure our governments are up to all sorts of shady stuff, just as they always have been, and in the future we'll find out that some of the conspiracy theories were not completely incorrect. The fact that they have done so much shady stuff in the past is what drives many of these conspiracy theories.

And back to the original point, does it really seem that outlandish that CIA psyops might be intentionally seeding these groups with nutty beliefs because they were getting uncomfortably close to something actually true? We'll find out in 50 years, I suppose, if we're still alive...

I believe it's from latin, and is not so old-fashioned in the many countries it's (still) used! e.g. in spanish, USA is EEUU (Estados Unidos)
I'm beginning to think you've never actually used github. Are you trolling?

The tool does not stop you from working in the way you suggest. Maybe it's not what the engineers who wrote it originally envisioned, but it's both simple and easy to work in the way you suggest.
I really don't see any value in debating ethics here. Tax policy is no different than spending policy - it's a tool and can be wielded for better or worse. Sometimes, government gets it right. Other times not. Governments, democracies especially, are made of humans.
> but still the same machine code and still the same calling conventions.

The Linux and Windows calling conventions are pretty different.

Is it possible to build real applications with Cosmopolitan?

I'm thinking stuff that requires other dependencies, e .g. build a universal Python interpreter by using Cosmopolitan. Would that be possible?
I'm starting to think that it's time to let the unproductive businesses that have blossomed over the last 12 years go bankrupt and be removed from the system. Unfortunately a lot of productive businesses that are temporarily unproductive had been using their cash for stock buybacks and using easy corp debt to run operations, and so with the pandemic, those wold get washed out too. Maybe the laws banning stock buybacks prior to Reagan weren't such a bad idea?

On the other hand how can the fed buy bonds from the "good" companies worth saving, and not from the "bad" companies that can freeride until "eventual" profitability?

I suppose you let the market decide - let the bonds float, and anything worth saving should be bought back up by the people enriched by the buybacks, right? Isn't that what efficient markets and capitalism are all about?
A crazy stat for me is that as a percentage of population more people in the Netherlands speak English than do in the US. When people in the US ask me for recommendations as to where to go in Europe I suggest the Netherlands first because it’s so incredibly easy to get around with just English.
