I started looking at Docker during vacation last week. I had a slightly outdated copy of Boot2Docker that didn't play well with VirtualBox 5.0. With limited bandwidth, I downloaded the docker-machine executable rather than the whole Boot2Docker package. Worked fine, and I was able to set up a variety of containers.

When I got back to work this week, I started setting some of this up on my work Mac, and found a release candidate for the Docker Toolbox. It looks like it's the docker, docker-machine, and docker-compose executables plus the Kitematic GUI (haven't tried that yet). Looks like a decent package.

Grumpy, off-topic digression after a week with limited Internet: please supply offline docs (Unreal), don't put a git clone command in the configure script to build them (Rust), don't require an external crate in a tutorial (random number generator for Rust), don't put a link to a CDN in your offline docs (Leap Motion SDK), don't require activation after a 2 GB download (Unity Personal). I did luck out and find a WebSocket library in the Go tutorial, which I used to grab JSON from the Leap to load into MongoDB (in a Docker container).

Grumpy, mostly on-topic digression: docker-compose doesn't work on my work Mac, and no one seems to know how to fix it:

https://github.com/docker/compose/issues/271

Haven't yet managed to rebuild it locally as suggested.

Edit: some observations after installing Docker Toolbox.

Kitematic is an Electron app (complete with a Toggle DevTools menu that covers the window with a web dev console). It doesn't tell you what it's doing, but docker-machine shows that it created a machine named default using the VirtualBox driver with the default settings.

Opening the Docker Quickstart Terminal stopped (and deleted?) the machine that Kitematic made and started a new one with the same name and settings.

I think I'd be just as happy with only the docker and docker-machine executables.
I refuse to believe we live in that unfree of a society. I know that we have FISA courts and so forth, but that's still a tier below preventing someone from continuing to publish their computer code. All the 90's cases surrounding cryptography as armaments cemented the notion that it's protected under the first amendment.

For something like that, do those people work full time on just that one game? Or are they also working on NFL/NBA 2k2 at the same time, creating UI code that works across all the games in the series?
I think learning the fundamentals of the git command line is pretty simple, and pays large dividends.

Indeed, learning to use git was one of the main things that spurred me to learn to use the command line for many other tasks. It's a good starting point.
I've heard numerous times that Linux's lackluster popularity is due 'chicken and egg' problem in the application space. If a company that gets the maximum possible percentage of Linux users is not willing to support the application for Linux then we can't expect anyone else will even attempt. May be because Linux users are 'smarter' and better off with CLI ;)
Lol. I work as a programmer in one of the largest studios in the UK and make $30k/year. Games industry is brutal with wages.
I don't mean this as a knock on Github, but I'd argue they are a company that lives on selling corporate licenses and enterprise software to companies that don't want everything to be public.
Bitcoin died in March 2014, with Mt Gox. Everything since then has been fussing over the remains.
I have a 1kW solar panel battery storage system which I use to power my computers and servers. I installed it a couple of years ago to help mitigate the $0.37 kWh top tier rate that SDG&E charges.

In California, a minimum charge was introduced and will be $10.00 starting in 2016. I suspect that this charge will be jacked up in increments till it is a significant fraction of the monthly bill.

If this does indeed play out, then the only option will be solar with localized energy storage, and disconnect completely from the grid.

California also will be flattening the rate curve at the Utility companies request to combat solar installations in the next 1-2 years. Users in the first tier will be paying more, the other tiers will be combined into one and be at a lower rate than the current top tier. In 2019 there is a plan to move everyone to time of use pricing. Once time of use is mandated, it may be too expensive to remain connected to the grid.
Three reasons Facebook video sucks
What does "AAA Game" mean anyway? I'm a bit lost on the definition. Wikipedia says:

> In the video game industry, AAA (pronounced "triple A") is a classification term used for games with the highest development budgets and levels of promotion. A title considered to be AAA is therefore expected to be a high quality game and to be among the year's bestsellers.

By definition, a budget of $75k + 6-10 people wont make an AAA game.

> When we made Crash Bandicoot (with a team of 7), it was already virtually impossible to make a AAA game with 6-10 people, and that was 20 years ago.

I'm biased/invested in this area, but I think nowadays tools are really helping strip away the technical challenges of making a game. Increasingly game development is less about technical challenges but more about the creative challenge. Individuals are willing to pour thousands of hours of work into artistic and creative projects, and I am seeing far less resistance and challenges going forwards for these sorts of people to produce AAA quality games, when previously game creation was extremely inaccessible to them.

Also, thank you for Crash Bandicoot. Amazing game :) One I loved playing growing up!

> Pearson, the owner of the Financial Times, which has had a non-controlling 50% stake in us since 1928, is selling. Three-fifths of those shares will go to an existing shareholder—Exor, the holding company of the Agnelli family. The rest will be bought back by our parent company, The Economist Group.

Phew, I was really worried they were selling to News Corp or something when I saw the headline. I've often thought of the Economist as the weekly version of FT, but the two are actually quite independent from each other (both in editorial control and legal control). Pearson had a 50% stake in the Economist but only 6/13 board seats. And the Economist has been great about fiercely guarding its editorial independence.
I really don't like velocity as a metric. It's about as useful as counting lines of code to judge a project's completion.

I'm actively developing a network protocol for secure end-to-end datastreams between any objects connected to the same physical network. It's conceptually reminiscent of email in that you register an address and then use it on any provider, can have multiple addresses per machine or access the same address on multiple machines, etc. I've been building off work by IPFS (http://ipfs.io/), with an eye on future compatibility with distributed systems like ethereum.

I just finished a reasonably decent draft of the whitepaper (https://github.com/Muterra/doc-muse/blob/master/whitepaper.m...) and would love some feedback. The yellowpaper explains much more detailed implementation, but is in a pretty rough state (absolutely not even draft quality: https://github.com/Muterra/doc-muse/blob/master/yellowpaper....)

Cheers and thanks!
For me personally, two main things. Absolute unwavering conviction in the vision, and the discipline of consistently solving every little issue that arises to keep the project growing faster. Discipline also gets you in a creative zone that has the potential of taking your project at a higher level at anytime.
Apple does allow it as long as they are only pushing html / js. IPA changes would still need to go though Apple. From Apples guidelines: https://developer.apple.com/programs/ios/information/iOS_Pro...

"The only exception to the foregoing is scripts and code downloaded and run by Apple's built-in WebKit framework or JavascriptCore, provided that such scripts and code do not change the primary purpose of the Application by providing features or functionality that are inconsistent with the intended and advertised purpose of the Application as submitted to the App Store."
How is someone going to learn that he lives in a society being locked in a building all day with people exactly the same age and social class as he is? How is someone going to learn how to deal with people when they're constantly supervised by a team of bureaucrats whose job is to deal with students' problems for them? [1]

I don't think anyone is claiming that the ideal homeschooling childhood consists of only interaction between parents and child, and nobody else. Neighbors, fellow homeschoolers, family, church, Scouts, camp, trips, actual adults: these are all sources of socialization.

Cutesy spellings aren't cute any longer, if they ever were. That point is debatable.

Startups looking to seem edgy and special use them, but I don't think they are effective. I only look at them to see what sort of product is behind that mis-spelling, not to actually buy something or use their service.

Mis-spelling shows me just one more small outfit trying to be splashier and trendier than the some other small company with a splashy logo or trendy spelling.

IMHO, you're always better off using standard spelling.

If your product or service just rocks, then it just does, and you'll have word-of-mouth. Odd spelling habits won't help you if it doesn't.

I had to move my head with every line I read. (The PDF is somewhat easier on the eyes.) Not a single reference to aviation, the context where most of the related research has been done, and where research matters most, as people's lives depend upon it.

The article was specifically about reading news on-line, and was a very small study. Reading code is somewhat different to reading prose in natural language such as news. To understand a portion of code at all, you need to take in every token. With very long lines, this means having to move your eyes back and forward. Laying it out vertically makes scanning a lot easier.

I haven't found a dedicated Linux GUI client for git either, but I'm a big fan of IntelliJ's CVS support. While it supports far from everything you can do with git, its interface is excellent, and having it integrated with your editor is a big plus.

I think they are stretching the rule too much, I don't see this lasting very long...
> I am convinced (although I do not yet have enough data to prove it) ... If anyone had any actual evidence that might support this conclusion, I would be grateful.

This is the opposite of how useful research and/or data science works. Data should be taken as is and then learned from. It certainly should not be gathered in an effort to directly prove a conclusion that you are already "convinced" of.

It's very disheartening to see this as a comment on a data science article on hacker news... unless you're being sarcastic/ironic? This has to be sarcastic/ironic, right? Right? :(
I'm very comfortable with the command line in general already, and if I have to I can use git on the command line. I've just always felt a GUI is the best interface for git - personal preference I suppose.

I'm a very visual person when it comes to code, and being able to see a nice history/diff etc inline with a few clicks just sits better with how I view the world & my ideal workflow.

I appreciate I'm probably in the minority on that though, as evidenced by the lack of client from those two big players I assume they feel that way too!
It seems like they meant AAA-quality game, with a budget of $75k + 6-10 people
Who's going to consider Microsoft a brand name for an Android and iOS app? A random dotcom has the advantage that people assume that you know what you are doing and that you care about your only product.
What users don't expect from a dotcom is lasting as much as Microsoft, but a service like yours doesn't require much commitment from its users and large companies shut down services at whim anyway.
Sure, but this is a case of the letter versus the spirit - and as a blatant end-run around the app store application process (they advertise it as a feature) I don't see those terms lasting too long. And/or any app that changes too much stuff on download will get pulled very quickly.

Apple don't have a track record of interpreting their terms particularly generously.
Of course they are. The people who aren't comfortable enough using a CLI stay clear of Linux.
> Obviously 4 is possible due to the 4 colour theorem...

Unless your bathroom includes a loop, such as all four walls (even with holes for windows and doors) or over the ceiling. Then the coloured area is no longer a plane, and so the 4 colour theorem does not apply.

>It is important to realize that ignorance isn't "bad" it can be fixed by learning

In the parlance of Mr. Rumsfeld, you can learn from the known unknowns, but often you don't even discover the unknown unknowns (the "meta-ignorance") until it's too late.
AppHub co-founder here, we realize that this is something that would seem to be prohibited by Apple, but updating JavaScript code is explicitly permitted by the iOS Developer Agreement [1].

Generating random text, email and color in Swift
So wait, if you can refresh the probabilities of a quantum property by making a second type of measurement (as described by the video in the article), why wouldn't this work? Here's how you might send information between two entangled particles via some property:

To send a 0 via property A:

1. Clear your measurement of property in A by measuring property B
2. Measure property A again
3. If A is not in state 0, goto 1
4. The other entangled particle should now read state 0 too

To send a 1 via property A:

1. Clear your measurement of property in A by measuring property B
2. Measure property A again
3. If A is not in state 1, goto 1
4. The other entangled particle should now read state 1 too

Maybe it would take a few more tries than expected occasionally, but if you give enough time to loop say, 10 times between measurements of the second particle, that's only a (1/1024)/2 = 1/2048 chance that the information is wrong! That's probably reliable enough for reasonably good error detection [1]. As long as the amount of time needed to get the first particle into a given state is less than the amount of time needed to send a photon to the second particle, it would seem that you could send information faster than c.

An interesting article, but light on specifics.

I did have a chuckle that author thought 225 transactions per second notable enough to mention.

Correct. They earn money off of private repositories... not sure how them hosting public projects adds directly to the bottom line besides the obvious marketing benefit and sticky factors.

Teflon has been known to be toxic for years. I'm not sure why "default trust" is a good position when dealing with companies like DuPont and Monsanto that have been caught lying to the public before. "Default suspicion" seems like the more cautious and logical approach here.

It's been more than a decade since I cooked with Teflon. I use glass, stainless steel, cast iron, or ceramic/enamel (love that old original Corningware from eBay!).

Much like eating real food, it's not hard to switch and the result tastes better.
I think this would be a pretty good approach, especially when combined with the author's strategy.
The issues raised here are side effects of the discontinuity between how humans evolved to learn, and how we are taught today.

Fundamentally, the problem is similar to the problems of mass production. The need is to produce greater volume, with standardized results and less variance in the end product. But this is exactly opposite of how humans evolved to learn. We're evolved to learn primarily from our parents, secondarily from extended family and then from the larger group. This is why children in general have a desire to please their parents, and parents have both anxiety about struggling children and and pride when they do well. There is another force for learning, curiosity, that is the underlying factor for children's increasing knowledge and innovation, and which drives persistence and resilience. In a prehistoric environment, teaching and learning were highly personalized. 2 parents may have to nurture 2 or 3 children at a time. Prehistoric children also learned quite a bit on their own, in their own way, at their own pace when no teacher was paying attention. [0]

In today's world, the amount and type of what has to be learned to function far exceeds what parents and family can teach. Even with homeschooling, advanced topics may be learned from texts that the student reads, rather than from tutoring by their parents. Most parents don't have homeschooling as an option, so we invented schools, which are by their nature, not personalized. Instead of ~1 teacher/parent per student, we have 30+. Teaching is not personalized, which goes strictly against human nature.
