I've used it before, when stuck on Windows for work, and it's definitely a nice project. However, there still seems to be some kind of impedance mismatch when trying to use a UNIX type shell with a Windows OS. Things just don't feel right.

Still, it's about as close as I've gotten to having something like iTerm and zsh on Windows, and it keeps my sanity, as it means I don't have to use the atrocious Windows command line.
Doesn't Java (what Android is already written in) provide that same benefit? Surely it's easier to get a basic JVM running on the iOS?
tldr; Get sucked in by image creation, stay for the API.

The documentation could be better. Getting my brain around what a Docker commit actually is and when the cache breaks for a RUN command vs a COPY command took some digging.

They are definitely catering to the "up and running" crowd.

The idea of combining image creation with container deployment and making the CLI as "sugar-ey" and "user-friendly" as possible is mostly marketing fluff designed to make containers easy to swallow for the masses.

However, the API IS powerful. Combined with tools like CoreOS and Kubernetes, or some in-house custom built tools and Docker is a pretty spicy piece of technology that is definitely worth it.
Semi-related question: why is all the consumer tech in a movie set in the 2030s circa 2015?
One of the basic things to understand in sociology and social psychology is that what people want is often shaped by what they are encouraged to want (and it's very easy to make people want something, as verified in psychology experiments). This is why modern feminism doesn't concentrate on the "want". Not because it's not important (it's very important!), but because it's hard to separate cause and effect, especially under an unequal distribution of power. We only look at the result: how power is distributed, and assume that people don't "inhernetly" want to have less power than others, as that would mean letting others determine their lives. Of course, this assumption could be wrong, but so far there is no evidence that is the case. Consequently, feminism is not concerned with who "contributes" what to sexism (it is easy to make people want to be subjugated; can they later be said to be contributing to their own subjugation?). Sexism is an objective state of society, not a specific behavior (misogyny is), and when we say that some action is sexist we mean that it contributes to sexism; the action itself can be completely free of any ill intent.

Am i understanding this right: i can build a building in half the price if i use BIM ?

Because if that's true, who cares about old companies - start a new company ,raise money(there's plenty for good opportunities ), train some people, and start offering everybody 30%-40% discount on their building. You'd kill the market and make ton of money , right ?
Most likely Flash. It's vector based for crisp display on those huge screens and a lot of guys are still very comfortable using it. It's very fast to create mockups with it.

That being said, they could have been using any other product. Perhaps that by "interactive", they simply mean that when you touch the screen, a .mp4 file starts playing. Who knows. I would be interested to find out!
That is a major difference between these two languages.

Python: There should be one, and only one, preferable way to do things. Though this may not be obvious at first.

R: Every author has a different style of doing things, reflecting in the code.

As for the comparison in general: You can call R from within Python. So Python is at least as powerful as R. The rest (BeautifulSoup, Compression, Game development etc.) is icing on the cake.

read the article. sounds like incorrectly using the introjs script to me. This weren't simplifying the process. They had two competing info highlights. You were injecting distraction away from your main instruction guidance.

Instead the proper thing, if you wanted the point-and-click guided tour, would be to use the info highlights to guide them around. Or, to skip the guided tour and use the instruction boxes. Not both.
My view is strongly influenced by the fact that I have "atypical cystic fibrosis." Cystic Fibrosis predisposes people to CFRD (Cystic Fibrosis Related Diabetes). My understanding is that this form of diabetes is neither Type 1 nor Type 2.

CF is a genetic disorder. With CF, your immune system does not work right and you are basically chronically infected with some infection or other. I have a relatively mild form of it, which helped create a situation where I was diagnosed late in life. I finally got diagnosed due to my health deteriorating drastically and I spent a year at death's door. With finally getting a diagnosis, I was empowered to get myself a great deal healthier.

I have fewer blood sugar issues than I used to have. I did nothing to specifically address that issue. I was primarily trying to erradicate the antibiotic resistant infections that were threatening to kill me.

People with CF misprocess fats and most of them are seriously underweight. To my mind, this suggests that fat is probably not the real culprit with diabetes.

I have become very picky about the types of fats I eat. Butter and coconut oil are fats that are very beneficial to my condition. I sometimes get pain under control by spreading a half a stick of butter on a roll and eating that (or did so at one time -- it has been a while as my condition is more stable). Butter and coconut oil are high in saturated fats. My blood sugar is a great deal more stable than it used to be.

(Yes, I know that is "anecdotal." If you want to dismiss it, please come up with a stronger criticism than that. Thanks.)
True. My point was more that their budget would look very different if not for federal guarantees on those (relatively risky) loans.
> Yes, but very few of those are automated. Which is not surprising since the absence of types in Smalltalk can lead to refactorings that break your code, so user supervision is necessary.

This is just not true. Go download a copy of VisualWorks. Try a Squeak image with OmniBrowser installed. They both have IDEs with automated refactorings. I have used both. I have contributed to the OmniBrowser implementation.

What you say does apply to Ruby or Python. It does not apply to Smalltalk.
The thing that I still understand in the comic is why the hell poor people find it ethically acceptable to produce children when the children will later have such problems in life.

YC Office Hours at Money20/20 – 10/27
The biggest problem with buying clothes, in my opinion, is that most are low quality.

Pants and shirts should be guaranteed to withstand hundreds of machine washes without shrinking or falling apart.

Textiles are very very cheap. Men's pants styles have changed very little in 100 years. It's unconscionable that they should cost more than $25-$30 a pair.

When you walk into a Bonobos brick and mortar location, there are lots of accessories (ties, belts, etc.) which are higher margin items that are more trend-driven, which is good for the business's bottom line, but I don't know any guys who really want to go "all in" and look like a Bonobos spokesperson.

A man needs well-made, well-fitting staple garments that he can reliably reorder when he needs more (which should be rarely). The fashion and flourishes are fun, as are luxury materials like cashmere and silk, but they are not the core of a man's wardrobe.

Not everyone aspires to have a super expensive watch and fancy tie. Most of us just want well-made pants that won't be ready for donation to the goodwill the following year. I thought this was what Bonobos was building, but it seems to have branched out into what feels like a copy of Ralph Lauren, with the same kind of aspirational "gentleman" aesthetic.
Not so common in NYC because that would get you elbowed, but in many places people walk in pairs or larger groups which blocks up traffic.

I agree, which is why I virtually never make comments about minor errors in execution and why I felt compelled to add a disclaimer to this one. I just find that this particular error is very subtle and trips a lot of people up so thought it might be helpful to highlight in case it was not a simple typo. I never expected it to garner this much diversive conversation.

> If they're smart, why haven't they found a way out of poverty yet?

It's tempting to think you're just trolling, but this view seems to be widespread enough that it's worth a serious answer.

It's because of the time value of money. Money now is worth more than money later - and it's extremely non-linear, not only with time but it also varies with the amount you have. So any money you don't have now corresponds to (literally) exponentially more money you won't have in the future, all things being equal. Even a smart person will find this hurdle very difficult, maybe even impossible, to overcome without a large dose of luck.

For example, what do you do if your car breaks down? Obviously you get it fixed and then move on with your life.

Now, what do you do if you're poor and your car breaks down? Assuming we take starving to death off the table, your choices likely boil down to losing your job because you can't travel to it or getting a payday loan at an usurious interest rate. Ironically, if you make the conscientious choice then people on internet message boards will call you lazy, whereas if you make the rational choice then people on internet message boards will call you stupid.

Whatever you choose will suffice to keep you poor for long enough for your car to break down again - which it will, because at no point would you have had enough money to invest in one that won't. Now apply this scenario to absolutely everything, large or small, that you ever have to buy and there is the answer to your question of why the poor haven't found a way out of poverty yet: because being poor is much more expensive than not being poor.

Bonobos is carried in some Nordstrom stores, not sure about AYR. I'm actually thinking of giving their pants a second shot once the Nordstrom by me re-opens and I can try enough pairs on to find ones that fit well - if the store carries them.

They don't have to regulate speech. They can do this purely by regulating commerce, by making it unlawful for Apple or Google to license or sell software or computing devices that don't provide escrow.

The USG doesn't want to eliminate strong crypto. It wants to make it not the default. Notice how the huge "going dark" freakout happened with Apple encrypted phones and messages by default.
It's extreme for sure, but it's a concept. 'Concept cars' are produced as a visionary direction a car manufacturer may take their range. This should be read the same.

I live in Copenhagen and can't observe any way in which cars here are more inclusive than bikes. A high percentage of bikes have a child seat, there are cargo bikes for multi-child families and the rail network is geared up to take bikes for commuters.

Older people cycle well past retirement, so their lifelong mobility keeps them healthily mobile too.

The big, fast metal box of a car dehumanises people by isolating them from slower and more vulnerable road users. Bikes mix much better with pedestrians when they need too than a looming car.
Where are you located? Slack is $7-9/mo a user iirc. Genuinely curious, that seems insanely cheap for rent.
I've solved the problem the easy way. I absolutely under no circumstance speak to a woman outside of whatever minimal dialogue needs to be done for work. Not a word more. You can not and do not control what people take offense over and what one person takes as a compliment another person will take as an insult.

If I hold the door open for a woman - I'm a sexist pig in her eyes (remember, chivarly is benevolent sexism). If I slam the door in their face by not holding the door open - I'm a sexist pig in her eyes (by being a misogynist pig who "made sure the door slammed in her face", regardless of my intent). There's no winning move because it comes down to the individuals' perspective. If they want to see sexism in my action (holding the door open vs letting it slam in their face) they will see it there and there is nothing I can do to control that.

Should I stop entering doors with woman nearby in case I fail to read their minds and know if I should hold the door open or let it slam in their face?

And no - "holding the door open for everyone" is not the answer. That's what I was already doing before I got bitched at for holding the door. Thanks to that individual - the door now slams in everyone's face.
RIAA members quick to team up and sue Aurous
This case of LaDue is certainly on odd one. I agree that it isn't clear he actually had the nerve to follow through. But it is clear he is following a script. He calls Eric Harris his hero. He cites all the precedents. Maybe humiliating such perpetrators would not have prevented LaDue, but if it prevented people like Eric Harris, then it would reduce the precedent, and hence probably also the attraction, for people like LaDue.

It's the riot theory the article starts with. If you can deter the people who get the riot started, you can possibly deter the people like LaDue who follow along just because it is now a thing that people do.
Well, it is the government, so about 15 years too old sounds about right. :)

Protocol limits, I suppose. For example, how IRC handles channel history? IIRC, the only way to reliably have it is to serve logs over HTTP or alike (i.e. outside of IRC).

XMPP MUC is not perfect, but I believe would be a better match.
> I think the real difficulty with these business models is that the sizing numbers vary WILDLY across retailers

You're right, and the crazy thing is that men's[1] sizes should be completely bog-standard: they're supposed to be lengths in inches. There's no reason why I wear anything from a 29" to a 32" long pair of trousers, depending on the manufacturer.

I'm well aware that ready-to-wear will never fit as well as tailored; that's fine. But there's no good reason for lengths to vary so wildly.

[1] Women's clothing is different, because women's proportions have a much higher variance than men's.

My understanding is that up until now they've been using a reference kilogram (Si sphere or, for the watt balance, a reference object) to measure Planck's Constant.

Now that they are getting repeatable, converging results for Planck's constant they can turn the process around; define Planck's constant and then use the apparatus to generate a reference kilogram.

And so the beauty of it is that any sufficiently motivated team could assemble the equipment (either apparatus!) and manufacture a reference kilogram that would be just as good as anyone else's.

Unlike the present state of affairs, where no matter how hard anyone wants to try, they simply can't manufacture a reference kilogram better than the one in Paris.
It's not lonely. My wife and I look like that pictured couple. What are we doing? We're playing Scrabble with each other online. Or reading the news, which we then talk about.
I don't think it's a human thing; I think it's a problem whenever you rely on previous knowledge or sharing knowledge, which science is exactly about. There is no practical experimental set-up that systematically reestablishes all prior knowledge from scratch, so there has to be trust in other scientists and reevaluating that trust must be grinded out the same way we grind out new scientific results: methodically, reproducibly.

What is problematic when it comes to humans is how our social structures are organized for doing science. They are hierarchical, resources are controlled centrally, and scientists are forced to compete with each other instead of cooperating with each other. Science is a career. We injure science and scientists by tying up their economic prosperity with their ability to convince the rest of the world that their work is worth anything. This creates a huge incentive to push forward and a huge disincentive to reevaluate past results: Your reputation can be damaged because you might be undermining the legacy of a high status scientist, and if you confirm the past result then you haven't done anything new and that reflects poorly on your 'performance'.

Science succeeds in spite of status, institutional monopolies, and hierarchical social organization. It would flourish in a more egalitarian society.

Is it intrinsic to humans to be hierarchical and status based? I want to say no. I don't think so. It is in the interests of the prevailing powers of the world to convince people that it is the case though, because they'd rather we not imagine a world where there isn't power to accumulate and hold on to.

If I were a hiring manager (I used to be one, but no longer am), seeing multiple skills would indicate:

- An ability to learn new things, which is probably more important than any particular skill.

- Knowledge that's not limited to a specific, narrow area. For example, someone who has spent their entire life doing nothing but coding mobile apps in iOS would probably have less ability to deal with issues that interact with the server side of the software stack.

So I'd recommend listing all the skills you have significant experience in.

However, your resume is a marketing document, not some kind of official biography, and as such can be tailored to the kind of job you're applying for. If you're applying for iOS jobs, you can spend more space presenting your iOS skills.

This is a fair point, but in the present context, it seems like the claim is that nextdoor.com is _only_ amplifying bad traits.

At the very least, it seems like the present claim implies that bad traits are eclipsing the good ones. The reason I think this matters is because tech evangelism has a worrying tenancy to write problems off as existing prior to the technology, without honestly evaluating whether or not the technology is responsible exacerbating the problem.

Why would I prefer this to cygwin? The detail provided here just makes it look like cygwin + a preconfigured zsh. The only advantage appears to be the installer and package manager.

[EDIT] How does this update cygwin when you have programs running that use it? Do you explain to newbies what BLODA is? The one thing I would want preconfigured is sshd which this doesn't appear to provide.

I (successful man in tech) was talking to successful woman in tech a few weeks ago about her experiences and how I could better encourage my young son and daughter and their peers to consider science/engineering as normal.

At one point in the story of her journey, she noted with pride, "That was the ballsiest thing I've ever done." Even after I pointed out her words, it took her a second to realize what I was talking about.
