This is definitely a visionary post and the title is a little misleading. A more useful title might be: A Vision for a Container-based Production Stack (based on experiences at Google). I think the post covers the scope of container-related problems very well, but I definitely know of a lot of production stacks that work well and don't look at all like the post describes :)

One consideration missing from the post: one day we could very well have a ton of opaque/sealed/closed-source container images provided as SaaS. For example, Oracle could provide their products in containers which you would then use on your own hardware or your own cloud provider. This sort of product would give CIOs a bit more control over OPEX/CAPEX and security.

The current post assumes a single central registry. IMO it's more likely containers drive a distributed ecosystem of registries, and container-oriented stacks will need to deal with this.
> RSS is not a protocol

I don't agree with this, but I can see reasonable arguments on either side of the argument.

> vendors are building completely open source tools [like] React & Angular.js

It's good that folks are open-sourcing their GUI toolkits. The problem isn't the lack of open-source GUI toolkits. The problem is the lack of interoperability between various Bigcos' services due to the lack of open protocols. Sure, you can reverse engineer the protos, but protocol design and BigCo cantankerousness has come a long way since OSCAR.

> Are you suggesting that HTTP is transport layer? Because it's not

It totally is. It's the Universal Firewall Bypass transport layer. (There are ways to categorize sections of the networking stack that aren't the OSI seven-layer model. :) )
The firewalls you mentioned were NAT/Enterprise level. They do not generally have absolute control of what programs are running on one of their internal computers. May be that port left open is used by a C&C client installed on one of the user's computer inside LAN, hereby possibly compromising the whole internal network. There is a reason why DMZs exist.

Compared to coding in assembly, was it really worse? (I don't know. The only coding I did for C64/C128 was BASIC and assembly.)
It's articles like this that make me feel like containers are the new Java EE, factory-factory-builders, dependency injection, etc. I mean all this makes sense in some context, but whatever happened to right tool for the right job?

Once when I was offshore on a drill ship, I remember being utterly fascinated when I read about the story of a CIA ship pretending to search for "manganese nodules" but was in actual fact searching for sunken Russian submarines.

I almost blew my gasket when I realized the ship in question was the same one I was sitting on at the time.

Engineering Student Got So Drunk, He Doesn't Remember Designing a Plane
Here's my anecdata:

DK1&2 owner. I felt the same, but the Crescent Bay demo blew me the heck away. More amazing than experiencing the DK1 for the first time.

Then, recently, I tried the Oculus Touch demos. For an hour or so afterwards, I felt like reality was less real than the simulation, even despite its limitations. I felt like the realm of possibilities within that box was infinite, and real-life was limited in comparison.
While the society at at that time was mainly responsible for the stifling of women prodigies I think a large part of the blame in this particular case should go to Leopold Mozart.

"There is evidence that Marianne wrote musical compositions, as there are letters from Wolfgang praising her work, but the voluminous correspondence of her father never mentions any of her compositions, and none have survived" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maria_Anna_Mozart)

Now, contrast her case with another contemporary female prodigy, Maria Gaetana Agnesi (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maria_Gaetana_Agnesi) one can see that not all parents at that time were so ignorant of their daughters' potential.

"When she was fifteen, her father began to regularly gather in his house a circle of the most learned men in Bologna,[9] before whom she read and maintained a series of theses on the most abstruse philosophical questions. Records of these meetings are given in Charles de Brosses' Lettres sur l'Italie and in the Propositiones Philosophicae, which her father had published in 1738 as an account of her final performance, where she defended 190 theses."

Leopold Mozart was no ignoramus (say, like, Gauss' father who tried to stop his son's education so to avoid him being an "egghead"), he could have supported Maria Anne similarly.

The example breaks down with torrenting because it introduces a third option. For the no-name artist,

a) Some people would pay $100,000 and get the painting.
b) Some people would think $100,000 is ridiculous, not pay, and not get the painting.
c) Some people would copy/steal/whatever the painting, and get the painting for $0.

Is it really surprising that many people choose c? Those people might say they'd actually pay for it if it was $10 instead, and some of them might be telling the truth, but I think many people would still choose option c. $0 is hard to pass up.
Something about this doesn't feel right. Unfortunately I can't express it so it's useful to you. But keywords that create conflict in my head are: elite, candidates, less expensive, recruiter, pay.

Perhaps this explains the understandably defensive posts here. The idea is interesting but the wording is a bit snobbish.

Good luck!

It's weird but when I was a kid I thought GEOS was a toy - I inherently rejected the graphical presentation of "doing things" over the "command line" (which was just BASIC for the most part).

Of course, this could be due to not caring for most of the applications launchable from GEOS.

> I'm ignoring the portions of your comments that don't pertain to my question.

To answer to your question yet again: "the net result is that you're raising taxes, but making it look like you're decreasing expenses instead." Removing a tax exemption is a tax increase, and granting one is a tax decrease; paying collected funds out is an expense, and not doing so removes an expense. They're on opposite sides of the balance sheet, and there's a meaningful difference between them even if the balance sheet adds up to the same value.

See previous comments for a more detailed explanation for why the way the article applies that particular spin comes across as "disturbing", which is what you specifically asked for an explanation of. You're not going to get an apolitical answer to that question, because it's a political question.
> How do you find which module you need? Search on the web may be the best answer.

Experience, stdlib reference, web searches. Same as with bash.

> In shell at least you have "man -k".

I really disagree here. Since you took `glob` as an example, how do you get to the explanation of `for test in *.in`? Go on, try that with "man -k".

> Already python is telling me that the "man" documentation is going to be better

I'm not trying to say python is good here (well, the stdlib documentation on the web is actually pretty good, it's just not easily available from the console). But the idea that bash/man is more discoverable is just wrong... You can find the glob under "Pattern Matching" section which is all right, but you need to understand most of the expansion mechanism of shell to know it applies to "for". Then again "for" itself has a definition that belongs more to a CS material, than to a usage guide.

Notice how the thrust of your comment "Even dense construction doesn't fix the demand problem" is at odds with the claim in pbreit's comment:

> Plus, in your fantasyland, demand would plummet. Who would want to live there?

I assumed that pbriet was making a claim that went something like "Cities that are packed with skyscrapers are barren hellscapes that noone wishes to live in.". To address that claim, I provided my subjective opinion of a section of San Francisco that is packed with skyscrapers, and reported what appears to be the community reaction to a new high-density high-rise apartment building in SoMA.

Maybe I'll get down voted but I really think perl 4.036 was the best perl. It was already weird with all the $this and @that but it was such a pleasant language that when I was at Sun I proposed rewriting a pile of /usr/bin in perl. We had already made stuff slow as crap with unicode support so why not? Didn't happen, Sun pulled the unicode support to get back C level perf.

Call me crazy, I love me some perl 4. That release was brilliant.

Node has its place, and it's not for everything, but for quickly whipping together sturdy, flexible web APIs, it's great.

I've long take it as an article of faith that humans are wired this way. But I am astounded by the comment about artificial intelligence. Is there any kind of paper that explores this? Not even sure how to set it up or quantify such a thing, but that would be incredible to prove.
I totally agree -- and not just on HN -- everywhere. Now let's update that title:

But what does the patent have anything to do with anything? The seller would still be interested in protecting their brand even if the product wasn't patented and the patent would still exist even if the product was sold under a generic label. There is no apparent connection between the patent and the interest in protecting the brand.
It is not subject to traffic. People don't have infinite money. There is a price at which few enough people are willing to pay that traffic flows freely. That is the price that will be set. People who don't have a choice of when to travel will share a ride to split the cost.

Yes, the driver will need to be paid as well, but people often run carpools that only charge for the price of gas. The prevailing rate for a ride will be low because there are plenty of people heading in the same direction who just want to defray their costs. Regardless, the mechanics of congestion pricing guarantee that people will use alternatives to driving. The congestion price will go up until people start choosing to share rides, take transit, or do something else.

Congestion pricing works. It's not an untested idea. It just isn't widely used. It should be, because it eliminates traffic. Ride hailing apps give even cities without great transit a great alternative to driving alone, which makes congestion pricing a universal solution to traffic.

Great article. I've recruited engineers and worked with much more experienced recruiters. Before LinkedIn, they used to "smile and dial", which was just going down a list of numbers at a company trying to get names and positions to recompose the org chart. If the recruiter was a woman, she would often pretend to be someone's wife to get past reception, and once reception passed her on, she could strike up a conversation, and potentially get passed to someone who was looking for a job.
So you agree in a thread which started from "one Harvard/MIT person doesn't get to design it" by listing two technologies:

- one coming from bitcoin which was supposedly mostly designed by one anonymous person

- one designed in US government sponsored project for use by intelligence agencies and later improved by DARPA

The root cause of sickness in VR seems to be either a) slow hardware/slow software, causing judder or b) poor design which moves the player in ways that cause discomfort. The combination of these two is a one-two punch. I'd encourage you to pick up CV1 or Vive in 6 months with a modern rig and take it for another spin with an experience that's been properly designed for VR, I'd be really surprised if you continue to have any problems with sim sickness.
Same. There is one major hurdle for me: it's too big of a pain in the arse to get up and running. In order to work on my game I have to muck about with NVIDIA Optimus (which they still don't have a fix for), take the headset off, change a Windows setting, put the headset back on. No it doesn't work, do it all again ad nauseam.

It's got to be a dream to make and play games on and right now, it's not.
Well I agree that glob was not the best example. For sure there are things you have to learn about shell scripting as well.. one of them is if "man for" doesn't work, try "help for" or "man bash". In fact there is no good reason for this and it should be improved. (not to mention that you already had to know what *.in does, but you could argue that this is fundamental shell syntax: man bash / pattern matching).
Thank you so much for your writing on this issue. I second others' motion that you should write a book, but until you do, what book would you recommend for someone who wants to get started?
Yeah. DK2 owner here. My DK2 only comes out to demo to friends these days.

It's not so much the motion sickness for me though. It's just that the novelty wore off and it became a chore. Elite Dangerous with a DK2 was incredible for a quite a while. I used to just fly around space stations and look around. Now after the 100th trading run i prefer the monitor as it doesn't require me to clean lenses or deal with a tangle of cables.

"Or submit “harmless” refactoring patches that exploit minifier, sorry, compiler bugs to introduce new vulnerabilities."

I like this line but I'm not sure I get the joke. Is it that serious attacks are likely to target a weak point like JavaScript in the browser, or that modern software is so darn procedural that the compiler is really just a glorified minifier that hardly does any optimization?
This article was brought up on the CONLANG-L mailing list a couple of days ago, with the suggestion that the LCS (Language Creation Society) help hook up people who want to administer or take these kinds of tests with conlangers who are capable of constructing them.

Yes, poor people tend to have rigid work schedules. If congestion pricing were implemented, employers would have to be more flexible or pay their workers more. Would those jobs that people couldn't afford to take just disappear? We shouldn't subsidize the usage of road space just because some employers enjoy it.

Congestion pricing isn't a tax. Its intent isn't to raise funds. You could rebate all of the revenue to low income folks and still achieve the goal of eliminating traffic.

Congestion pricing isn't regressive since it's easy to split the cost. If you want to pay less, ride with more people.

On a vacation to France last year, my SO and remarked several times on how different the behaviours of children and adults in the playgrounds in cities and towns of France differed from their counterparts in Canada and the US.

The interaction in France reminded me much more of my parents and I than the modern parents of North America.

It's hard to put a finger on exactly what it was but there was a lot more letting the kids climb on stuff, do "dangerous" things, work out their own problems, fight their own battles and basically run around having fun.

"Abstract: Prior to the twentieth century, theories of knowledge were inherently perceptual. Since then, developments in logic, statistics,
and programming languages have inspired amodal theories that rest on principles fundamentally different from those underlying
perception. In addition, perceptual approaches have become widely viewed as untenable because they are assumed to implement recording
systems, not conceptual systems. A perceptual theory of knowledge is developed here in the context of current cognitive science and
neuroscience. During perceptual experience, association areas in the brain capture bottom-up patterns of activation in sensory-motor
areas. Later, in a top-down manner, association areas partially reactivate sensory-motor areas to implement perceptual symbols. The storage
and reactivation of perceptual symbols operates at the level of perceptual components – not at the level of holistic perceptual experiences.
Through the use of selective attention, schematic representations of perceptual components are extracted from experience and
stored in memory (e.g., individual memories of green, purr, hot). As memories of the same component become organized around a common
frame, they implement a simulator that produces limitless simulations of the component (e.g., simulations of purr). Not only do
such simulators develop for aspects of sensory experience, they also develop for aspects of proprioception (e.g., lift, run) and introspection
(e.g., compare, memory, happy, hungry). Once established, these simulators implement a basic conceptual system that represents
types, supports categorization, and produces categorical inferences. These simulators further support productivity, propositions, and abstract
concepts, thereby implementing a fully functional conceptual system. Productivity results from integrating simulators combinatorially
and recursively to produce complex simulations. Propositions result from binding simulators to perceived individuals to represent
type-token relations. Abstract concepts are grounded in complex simulations of combined physical and introspective events. Thus, a perceptual
theory of knowledge can implement a fully functional conceptual system while avoiding problems associated with amodal symbol
systems. Implications for cognition, neuroscience, evolution, development, and artificial intelligence are explored"
