Question for people who own Pebble watches - have you read the Pebble privacy policy? They track a ridiculous amount of stuff (everything from your GPS location and activity to what other apps you run on your phone), log it indefinitely (literally 'for a period of time') in personally identifiable form, and reserve the right to sell your data to third parties. It baffles me how people can be OK with this.
Absolutely; as I mention in the article. There's nothing new or exciting here; there's simply a big discrepancy between reality and how a lot of users understand it. This is partially true for the my-dev-user-is-part-of-the-docker-group case, but even more so for the container-with-docker-sock-access case.
I'm not hiding that after I learned about Docker I became skeptic. It seems like yet another thing that people observed what Google was doing, and then implementing it wrong.

Google is using containers instead of VMs. This still provides security isolation and allows them to use resources more efficiently (VM has overhead where you need a whole OS for every instance).

This approach does not make much sense in public cloud, where you already run inside of VM and the overhead is really for Amazon not you. So I see Docker is now pivoting to be a package manager, but there are already tools that do that. You can argue that Docker is simpler but so was rpm when it started. As Docker will grow it will become more complex in order to support all functionality package format already provides. There might be an argument that you can run multiple Docker containers on a single host, but that's what processes are for.

There is change happening, and looks like cloud companies want to create "cloud os", I guess Docker is step toward that direction, but at current state in don't see it offering anything valuable to the organization that uses it.
And the inhabitants think that's a good thing.

There have been moments when I could commiserate. Less shoveling.

Maybe you should be sceptical that Chevy are more honest than VW.
I use the same architecture... DRF for the API, admin for quick data manipulation, Ember for the interface and I enjoy it immensely. I am learning Phoenix because it would allow me to handle bidirectional communication in the same codebase along with other Erlang advantages. So far it doesn't seem to have anything comparable to DRF.

> I say explicitly because I know there is a tendency to say that some given structure is a monad and we didn't realise it; but that still doesn't really prove that it is all that useful in the general sense

Exactly. That is what I call mathematical- vs. cognitive-abstraction. They are not the same thing, and in the case of programming languages, only the latter matters. A mathematical abstraction is simply the naming of a pattern; a cognitive abstraction is a human solving a problem by explicitly thinking of said pattern. The former is either true or false; the latter is either useful or not (and the utility is completely orthogonal to any mathematical considerations).

> I appreciate your explanation but again it fails to actually show it being useful outside of the context of working around Haskell's strict type system

I think it isn't useful as a cognitive abstraction (and the problem isn't Haskell's type system, but its purity from effects). I believe that monads as a cognitive abstraction are foreign and harmful to imperative languages, which have an equally-powerful cognitive abstraction -- the thread -- that fits much better with the rest of the language's abstractions and I think is much more useful for most people.
Hackathons – Software Improv
I can confirm that in San Francisco, I've had a DHCPv6-PD assigned allocation for far longer than a year. When Comcast claimed to throw the switch to enable IPv6 for all of their residential customers a while back, something wonky happened to my IPv6 service (and stayed happened for several days) that required me to reboot my cable modem (which then proceeded to download a new config file and reboot several times) in order to resolve it.
Forget the realism part. Can we at least get the locality part?

In my mind, all the quantum observables are not real properties, therefor it's obvious/trivial that they don't exist until measured. That is, I have no problem accepting they are not "real".

What gets to me is the locality aspect of it.

Of course I'm not a physicist (read: I am layman).
Actually, here in the netherlands most children bike to school by age 5, and continue to bike until they are no longer able to. My grandmother biked until 80, she never had a drivers license. Before age 5 children sit on their parents' bikes. Handicapped people do use tricycles. I know a guy who lost one of his legs, and he rides on a bike with 3 wheels. There are also bikes that are powered by your arms instead of legs for people who cannot use any of their legs.

But what I see in the linked article in the photo as an example of a good bike lane, no way in hell parents are going to let their 5 year olds bike there. It's a death trap from moving cars on the left and car doors on the right. The road is massive (at least 5x wider than the average road here), so there is plenty of space there for proper infrastructure.
Your second sentence is, I think, the whole driver for this: VW have been flogging the line that they don't need hybrids because diesel is as good or better pretty much since the Prius got traction in the marketplace.

This is possibly the most hateful thing I've seen on HackerNews. Surely there were other approaches you could have taken. Surely there are other sites that have been attacked by 4chan's users and come out the other side.
The researchers could have made a lot of money ($15-30M) off this information by shorting Volkswagen prior to the release of their reports, and it would've been perfectly legal. I speculated a bit about this notion -- specifically for VW and more generally as a startup / arbitrage opportunity:

virtualenv only works if you want an isolated Python environment. What if you have two things that each want a set of .so libraries with incompatible versions, and one wants node.js? In theory this could be managed with something like NixOS, but containerization is the much more mature and flexible solution.
For any international match other than the RWC, you'd be right (>80% wins in all international matches for >100 years). For RWCs, not so much (2 RWCs from 7 tournaments, so only a 14% success rate).
The problem with bike in US is that everybody drives, the roads were initially designed for cars, not bikes. Simply converting part of a drive lane to a bike lane makes cars and bikes still share the road, which is very unsafe. Blind spots can easily cause accidents because of the shared-road bike lane design.

Some downtown streets are already narrow enough, still the stupid city planning squeeze a bike lane into them and put more risk to bikers.

The safe way to make bike lane is separating drive lanes and bike lanes with strip traffic island that can't be crossed. I used to work at Madison, WI for a while. Their bike lanes are completely separated and isolated by grass or tree traffic island from drive lanes. No wonder Madison claims itself the most bike-friendly city in US.
Or if you manage to fit it all into cache.

It's one of those things that's easier said than done, like "just letting go" (the word 'just' in that phrase is brutal). But I think it can be practiced. Imagine in an ideal sense the love a parent has for their child. It's an unconditional love, one that comes without strings attached or any expectation of greatness beyond the miracle of that child's very existence. Tough love, sometimes, but not necessarily contingent. The trick is to find a way to give that to yourself. It takes time.

Procrastination, like other problems of self-improvement, is multilayered. Some of my friends who constantly agonize over their productivity levels confound me, because often from my vantage point they seem perfectly well adjusted, if not for the constant feeling like they should be doing more. Other times procrastination is a response to stress or trauma that needs to be addressed on its own. Some kinds of distraction are arguably more of a reflection of changes in our culture than individual pathologies. Sometimes you just need an egg timer. Sometimes human beings are just garden-variety imperfect.

At the risk of venturing in cheesy territory, I'd recommend checking out Brene Brown's TED talks on vulnerability and shame, if you're not already familiar with them.

We had to maintain a Pylons codebase that we never had the time to "port" to Pyramid (you know, rapidly growing startup, technical debt... then you get purchased by a big company and technical debt becomes a non-issue.) God, I hated a lot of that ecosystem. Lots of libraries that didn't work as promised (WebOb, WebTest, I'm looking at you) and upgrading them was impossible because newer versions broke Pylons.

All in all, I've always been a Django advocate. I know people hate the "batteries included" approach, but it guarantees that all parts work together well, and you'd be surprised how much of it is easily replaceable/removable. I've even used Django as a bare-bones router/request handler framework with great results.

Yeah, I mean it could happen. But when one considers that, say, Ireland have never beaten the All Blacks in over 100 years, 10% for Namibia seems pretty ludicrous.
That is interesting, but I'm persuaded that the top one percent was way too broad of a sample. (My lapse. Sorry.)

The wealth is concentrated within a narrow subsection of that group. And I don't think that many of them became rich as corporate executives, unless you are including entrepreneurs like Bill Gates, whose wealth was derived from his ownership of a business, not as compensation for his work as an executive. Actually, maybe it is reasonable to include them. But I didn't do so when I made my earlier estimations.

Ownership of the means of production is the main intergenerational conduit of capital, which naturally creates large accumulations of inherited wealth. The fact that so many self-made people are now among the world's hyper-rich is a testament to the strength of the technological forces powering startups. And in a sense, Silicon Valley has created the most merit-based process ever devised for crowning an oligarchy.

What's really interesting is to think in terms of power laws, which predict a trillionaire within our lifetime. What would that level of divergence result in? Will someone eventually create something so valuable that the equity takes over a significant percentage of the global economy? (e.g. nano or AI breakthrough)

It is true that RSA operation over IPC is slower than doing it internally. But the latter is by magnitudes faster than the former, therefore the slowdown is negligible in practice.

What Did People Think About the First iPhone?
However, you have to ask yourself, "Why are virtually all the nuclear power plants in Japan next to the sea?" You could answer that with "Because engineers are stupid" or you could look for a more likely answer ;-)

I am not a nuclear engineer and I don't have enough background to really say what the answer is. My guess is that they are set up right next to the sea so that they can do exactly what they did in Fukushima -- pump sea water into the reactor.

Naturally higher ground is actually hard to find near the sea (because the mountains are usually set back by about a kilometre from the sea). Also, if you perch yourself on a cliff next to the sea, then you are at a more serious risk of landslides during the many 6-7 magnitude earthquakes we have in Japan each year. With artificially higher ground, I suspect you would be at even more risk.

The other main reason for not putting a nuclear reactor on high ground is that in the event of a containment breach, the contaminated water will run downhill (in indescriminate directions). The placement in low ground next to the ocean may be the best place, environmentally, in the case of a disaster.

Again, I'm only guessing, but I'm sure if you ask someone who is trained in the field they can give you better answers.

I'm hoping that Japan will transition away from nuclear reactors in the middle term. There is enough geothermal potential to provide base load (though protecting the environment with all the earthquakes we have here is not trivial in that case either). Since Fukushima, the amount of solar panels being installed in my area is insane, so I'm hopeful that things will improve over the next 50 years or so.

(Having said all that, Hamaoka power plant, which is just down the road from me, is perched up on top of a cliff overlooking the sea ;-) ).
Jenkins Integration with iOS (Part 1 of 3)
Given that these are all achieved with the `assert!` macro, we can fortunately just redefine the macro to be a no-op in order to determine the runtime cost of all assertions in the standard library (note that assertions that aren't required for memory safety should already be using the `debug_assert!` macro, which is in fact compiled to a no-op in non-debug builds). This will overestimate the impact of removing bounds checks (since we'll potentially be removing lots else as well), but I'm curious to see if the performance impact will still be negligible regardless.
There is not way to prevent the watch from sharing such information ?
>Some of the best original content creators and experienced posters migrated to 8ch, taking the mantle from 4chan as the authentic core of internet culture.

I find it very confusing that 8ch users tend to hold this "migration" as a huge event in 4chan history. As far as the archives can tell, the whole "gamergate" scandal had no affect on traffic and even more confusing is the fact that outside of /v/, no one really cares about 8ch/gamergate.

Yet I see this rhetoric time and time again, that everyone went to 8ch - when, according to 8ch's own stats, board like /vg/ do more posts per hour than the entirety of 8ch.

In hindsight, its no different 7chan before it and moot is completely right in his assessment of the situation - a small group of users got a mad, on a single board and decided to create a new website. More power to you guys, but for those us who don't browse /v/ (and 4chan is more than just /v/), we didn't notice anything.
I think you have a twisted, corporate definition of "good".

> Which would be great if everyone was running IPv6...

1) The big players already are.

2) Residential availability of IPv6 will help make the business case for IPv6 activation for operators who have not yet been able to see the train barrelling down at them. (Something about eggs and chickens...)

3) ISTR that Comcast serves at least 20% of the US residential ISP market.
There is already a "soft firewall" in the opposite direction because US companies are often reluctant to use European data centers.

Where I worked previously we included the geographic questions at the start of our standard RFI document. In asset least one case we had to drop the technically-best SaaS product because they only had data centers in France.

Even using Canadian or Australian data centers was often problematic. For employee data we could require that individual to provide consent for cross-border transfer as part of their contract but that wasn't possible for customers.

In all seriousness if you're silly enough to bet rugby the thing to watch is how much pressure is being put on the ref. Because, tragically, that is what decides games between two strong sides. Some of it is blatant and public and much of it isn't but it's there none the less.
England are about the fourth best rugby side in the world at best, but they're raging hot favourites because you know that's what's going on. Tough to tell the difference between rugby and professional wrestling sometimes.
DOJ Claims Documents Declassified,Released Under FOIA Not Declassified/Authentic
Interesting, I learned a few things:

> Cataclysmic struggle between the eastern Rome and Persia opened the door for Arabs to stream through and build one of the greatest empires in history.

More at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Byzantine%E2%80%93Sasanian_war... ... I dimly knew these two empires fought but could not have named any of the episodes nor did I realize the direct link to the Muslim conquests.

> Cities like Venice, Verdun, Utrecht, Prague and Mainz all did good business trafficking slaves to Arab lands, above all, women and children. It was the Vikings, however, who seized control of this lucrative business, eventually building trading stations along the Russian river systems flowing south towards the Black and Caspian seas that grew into towns such as Kiev and Novgorod.

I knew about the Vikings and the Volga slave trade but did not know it previously extended to northern and central Europe; not sure if Wikipedia has a detailed article, but there's https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slavery_in_medieval_Europe#Sla...
I implied that. Most programmers today use Google. A paywall prevents them from getting these answers. So, most are blocked out.

Far as your example, I agree that algorithm support can't help without good software going along with it. That's probably true for many use cases with examples you cited being areas where proprietary tools and ecosystem dominate. Leads to some potential counters:

1. It might help in the many things that OSS is doing. That's a huge list that includes desktops, phones, servers, and a few major apps.

2. It might help in commercial sector if their developers see the cutting edge approaches. It might be obvious where rendering advances are but most stuff is scattered: finding it took lots of searching with my keyword, kung-fu. Might be affecting discovery in proprietary side, too. I know many of them keep inventing solutions weaker than even well-cited academic stuff. Aside from patents, gotta wonder why they didn't go with better approach if it seemed like a good fit. Likely explanation: didn't know it existed.

For instance, it's commonly believed that signal processing can only use a commercial DSP or graphics card with nothing delivered aside from that. People wanting an open alternative don't even know where to start that's worth anything. I heard and believed that too till I landed on this bad boy:

https://www.wikiwand.com/en/Asynchronous_array_of_simple_pro...

The architecture is described in enough detail to be clonable. It might even be licensable with open-source allowed. It should handle plenty of workloads and supports custom accelerators for common things. After the mask costs, it would have great price vs performance vs energy usage. Yet, with 8 years of research, I just now came across this despite the first deliverable being in 2005. Might be a dead end and might turn into something if pursued. Yet, I'm sure it had potential to benefit commercial and OSS projects whose design approach accomplished far less had they known about this.

So, more full and legacy systems certainly have lots of momentum. You can't just have a piece of a system. I think even they might be affected by the problem I describe, though, given they're as sub-optimal vs cutting edge as OSS often are. So, easier movement of these ideas might benefit both.
We use Django REST framework backend and node frontend so it'll solve the above except: forms, templates, sitemaps, clickjacking.

I think Node today can solve these 4 problems well enough.
Are linux containers really not securable? That's how Google runs all their stuff in production.

Isn't this specifically a Docker failing? My understanding (from reading rather than use) is that LXC (the original Linux container project) provides a lot more in the way of security than Docker does?
Thanks for the response, will check it out.
I've made this mistake in the past. In C++ I used a reference to fix it like so:

#include <cassert>

typedef char array_xyz_type[42];

void test(array_xyz_type & a, array_xyz_type b, char c[42], char (&d)[42])
{
assert(sizeof(a) == 42);
assert(sizeof(b) == 4);
assert(sizeof(c) == 4);
assert(sizeof(d) == 42);
}

int main()
{
array_xyz_type x = {1,2,3};
test(x, x, x, x);
}

I'd add these comments:

1. The reference makes the code somewhat less flexible in that you can't call the function with anything other than a char[42] type, e.g. test(new char[42]...) won't compile. (This may or may not be what you want.)

2. As Linus said, don't ignore compiler warnings.

3. Write some code, then watch every line execute in the debugger so you see if what you wrote is what you thought you wrote. Repeat.
