Kubernetes is currently a pain to install, granted. Indeed, building a real-life (as opposed to toy) kubernetes cluster is pretty miserable. But other than that, it's a really nice system.

The article complains that kubernetes requires installation but Swarm just runs a container. True, but kubernetes runs atop docker, not inside it (although the kubernetes components do run within docker). I think this is a better design, because it makes migrating off of docker easier.

The article complains that one must know everything in advance. That's not quite true: one is able to add nodes. But yes, they don't add themselves. That's also okay with me, since kubernetes in general seems to take an intentional approach.

The fact that kubernetes avoids using docker commands is a plus for us: we declare what we want to do, and kubernetes does it, rather than us imperatively instructing docker what to do.

Contrary to the article, we certainly don't have multiple definitions of anything. We don't have any Docker Compose definitions; we use kubernetes throughout, whether it's single-node running on a local laptop or multi-node in integration, staging and production. Thus, 'in other words, once you adopt Docker, Docker Compose or Docker CLI are unavoidable,' is pure and total nonsense.

In our experience, kubernetes just does things right. The service abstraction, and service discovery, are exactly what we need. The way that replication controllers work is great. The idea of pods of containers, all of which can communicate on the loopback interface, is extremely useful. It's certainly not perfect (c.f. installation, supra, and there're plenty of other warts), but it's going in the right direction.

As an aside, given my experience with docker itself, I'm not eager to adopt any more software from Docker; I'm looking forward to when kubernetes supports rkt or some similar container format.
A vegetarian lion could technically survive. A human being needs food (which he cannot grow anywhere, due to property laws) and shelter (which he cannot build anywhere, due to property laws). Does the US government hand out free food and shelter for all?

If not, you are forced to work. You can choose what to work on, but that's about it. Even something as passive as investing capital or extracting rent requires some work. Being homeless is a full-time job asking others for money.

Whenever you'll get free food and free shelter (we can argue about clothes), then you won't be forced to work.

As a remote worker and remote work proponent that was by far my favorite quote.
Oh, I'm not disputing that. I just thought it was an interesting bit of history that the original message (which OP linked to) mentioned two dead formats and none of the formats that are integral to the modern web.
But you're approaching this in the context of current income tax rates. How would the equation change if there was no income tax, just the property tax, and you could plan your retirement around those numbers?
Seems to summarize down to a love/hate relationship with shared libraries. Most of the flaws are best explained as the devs, admins, users, security team, and distro maintainers sometimes having different positions on the spectrum of love/hate for shared libraries.

Also don't forget architecture... you want that binary in 32 bit i386, 64 bit amd64, or arm?
I see the benefits of Opal, but can anyone enumerate the downsides? I imagine it generates quite a bit of cruft as CoffeeScript does (of course, one argues that developer satisfaction in using said language outweighs the extra lines added to JS files).
As with any volatile investment you should get out when you are ahead, or in need of the money. You may lose out on further gains but the likelihood of another crash is high. It's better to win than lose.
Almost certainly not. Jet isn't an established business with real traction/growth cashflow. This is definitely a real venture play. It'll either work and they'll be huge or it won't and it'll be worthless.
Can anyone comment on current status of using Fedora (or maybe even Linux in general) on sleep/suspend/hibernate? I remember the last time I tried it being a hit or miss and was painful to get working consistently.

For reference, I'm using Retina MacBook Pro Mid 2012 (10,1), but I was unsuccessful on my Dell Latitude E Series (the exact model escapes me at the moment) also and gave up.
Oh, you should probably sell them. Just like when I sold all of my Apple stock when it shot up to $30, purchased at ~$20. :/
From what I understand, the only new thing Rust is contributing is managed lifetimes. Everything else is, like in D, just borrowed from other languages and put together.

That said, I've mostly heard that lifetimes are still too young to be worth the trouble. So the one new thing Rust does bring to the table isn't really ready yet.

No, but the jobs they use to do have been replaced to varying degrees. So, a company needs far fewer of them (and more likely just munge their tasks into something else).

Some secretarial tasks much less common these days and/or mostly automated so primary worker does them themselves.

Typing, retyping, dictating, managing calendars, meeting scheduling, appointments, taking voice messages, dealing with mail(physical opening/organizing), internal memos, filing, searching for stuff in those files, copying, faxing.

I really hate "professionalism". Yes, it's not personal, but only because the persons who are affected by this, are not seen as persons by management.
> I thought it was 10Mb/s?

Alas... Also, in my experience, throttling is really slow to react, i.e. you get a chunk of data out at 10-20Mb/s, then everything freezes for few seconds until average would drop below 5Mbps, then another speed-up/slow-down cycle. Long-term average is exactly 5Mbps as per their spec-sheet [1].

Given that BTC is a currency that is not backed by a national treasury (and is, in fact, technologically not backable by printing more money), such insurance would be a prohibitively expensive percentage of a company's BTC resources.

The same features of BTC that serve as its advantage and, arguably, goal make it more difficult to offer basic protections that other fiscal infrastructures have had for decades.
> Right now I am trying to figure out the best way to do service discovery and load balancing.

Or you could just kubernetes, which does them (mostly) right, right out of the box…

The way it works is that services are exposed as hostnames and environment variables; connexions to those hosts on certain ports are load-balanced to the actual backing services, transparently. It's really nice, and very Twelve-Factor-like.
That's actually what I had in mind. Read this on one of the blogs and it seemed like probably the best option. The main obstacle (for me anyway) is getting "acquainted" with others who run a consultancy :) I guess i'll try to go to more meetups and be more social, reach out to friends to see if they know people, etc...

Do you think it's frowned upon to cold-email people that you're only vaguely acquainted with? Say for instance, I make a very politely and concisely worded email, asking them if they have any extra work that they could off-load.
I believe conquering space and time is on the Silicon Valley TODO list.

I'm curious what they did for due diligence. There are a lot of complaints about how Jet works (or doesn't), how scammy sellers are doing bait and switch, and how customer support isn't helpful. Their reputation isn't very good. I know I won't order from them until they add seller transparency and better support.
I think I confused the point. When you say "Microsoft, I'm buying X more licenses for Dynamics, give me a discount." they reply, "How about no discount, but some cheap Azure instead?"

There is a big impact in performance if you are running a graphical user interface instead of a server only with the console. VMware put more efforts in the UI than other vendors.

If the author is here, thank you very much for providing this. I wanted to to look it into Jupyter and machine learning and this is probably the right way to start.

I don't think you can really complain about having to have node.js installed in order to run a node.js script.

If you want self-contained binaries, learn Go. If you want lightweight scripts that run effortlessly on all unix systems, learn bash scripting. It sort of sounds to me like you're complaining about not being able to shoehorn your chosen language into all possible scenarios.
MMM works by constantly paying out. I.e. whole thing works as long as money circulate in the system. And as part of this circulation - people withdraw bitcoins and exchange these to local currency.
Best of luck to John!

I've been following the discussions on emacs-devel lately and he's been showing a lot of enthusiasm for what he has in front of him, and given John's previous endeavours (use-package, eshell) I really think emacs has found a worthy successor to Stefan Monnier.

> Basically, if this thing produces a general relativity effect, then it is possible that momentum is not conserved because the underlying metric does not have translation symmetry.

Given the setup, it seems highly unlikely that this thing produces something that requires a GR explanation. The energies aren't high enough; there's no high gravitational field or high acceleration.

> I think violation of conservation of momentum is more likely than new physics.

But if GR is out, then violation of conservation of momentum is new physics.
I agree that it's easier when it's all sitting conveniently in one place. But if we're really to be worried about it, we need to ditch the concept of civilization as it's presently understood, because everything we do to make our society better leads to more information about us being available to more people. You can't have a cake and eat it too.

I structured my previous comment in this way to proactively address the argument that someone always brings up - the story of how Nazi Germany used census data to track down and exterminate Jews. My point being that yes, evil government could use this data to do evil things in an efficient way, but it doesn't mean that we have to proactively stop doing censuses - they have many other, real, actual, positive uses.

Or another example - the best way to prevent a house fire from burning down a neighbourhood is to not build houses near each other. But instead, we invest in firefighters, better materials and procedures, all of which addresses the problem of fire spread. Why? Because we want the houses to be close to each other.
Don't you think that moving to a fiat money system has contributed?
As a followup, I did some calculations and figure the US averages about 534twh of electricity - say it peaks at 1000twh, which seems reasonable. Both solar and wind appear to be capable of about 1twh per square mile these days, based on existing installations. So 1000 square miles of wind/solar, plus some battery caching, could provide 100% of our typical energy needs. This seems pretty feasible to me.
I rather like the implicit conversions. Especially in D where they only happen where its safe.

There's the 'to' function to perform checked conversions and the standard cast operator to perform unchecked conversions.

int foo = 256;
ubyte bar = foo.to!ubyte; // throws ConvException
ubyte baz = cast(ubyte) foo; // overflows as expected

If I want more type-safety than this, I'll create simple wrappers:

struct Seconds { int value; alias value this; }

That way I can still pass seconds everywhere an int is expected, but I can now declare arguments to only accept Seconds and not ints.
The guy in that linked post just pulled his 10,000 BC biomass estimate out of thin air. I wouldn't go around making any major life decisions based on it.

Capitalism is certainly worth blaming, at least for offering a lens to justify the deterioration of the global middle class.

Essentially, the wealthy have come around to the idea as seeing the poor and middle classes and resources to be exploited, like a coal mine, by offloading their tax burdens onto them. The more people chafe under low pay and high taxes, the more easily they can be tricked into thinking the social support system is unsustainable and should be dismantled before people are taxed to death.

People who created this mindset and let it fester know who they are. The rich who benefit stay silent. That's why this generation of CEOs who may be highly vocal about social issues tend to be conspicuously quiet about tax policy. For every Warren Buffett, there are a dozen post-exit founders who are happy to leave their capital gains tax rate where it is.
> However with CL and most of the popular "modern lisps"

When I write, 'modern Lisp' I mean 'modern implementation of Common Lisp,' since there is no Lisp but Common Lisp, and Kent Pitman is its editor:-)

SBCL, at least, provides some support for stack allocation, and I'd be surprised if Allegro and LispWorks don't.

Like I wrote, modern Lisps tend to be fast enough, albeit not as fast as would be perfect.

[Total idiot post here. As pointed out below, Oxytocin /= Oxycontin. Kept for lols.]

Opiods for social disorders? While an interesting effect, the inherent dangers of such a substance should moot any thought of practicality, like discovering that plutonium can be used to cure hangovers.

The drive to expand the market for opiod market in recent decades should give everyone pause. Addictive medicines once used to treat pain in hospitals (ie post-surgery) are now sold to old people for arthritis pain, for cronic conditions. I'm sure that lots of companies would jump on even the slightest evidence that opiods might also be used for mental disorders, disorders present in nearly every area of the population. With the current market flooded, with old people already swimming in painkillers, that is the only room for exponential growth. And it is exactly why we should not allow market forces to dictate treatments.
Let me suggest the following way of looking at it.

What evidence do we have suggesting that the EmDrive works? We certainly don't have a device observed to be generating large thrusts reactionlessly. What we allegedly do have is a bunch of measurements that, on the face of it, suggest that maybe we could make one by refining this technology.

But the path from those measurements to that conclusion goes through a load of physics, and nothing on that path is known with any more certainty than conservation of momentum is known under such "ordinary" circumstances.

Suppose someone comes to you with a purported mathematical proof that 2+2 doesn't equal 4. You look at their proof and don't find anything wrong with it. Are you justified in believing that 2+2 isn't 4? No, however carefully you check the proof, because the axioms and rules of inference they use in the proof are going to be no more certain than 2+2=4. If you check the proof carefully enough then you're entitled to conclude that something is very wrong in our conventional understanding of mathematics, but you can't tell what and you should be pretty confident it isn't 2+2=4 until someone demonstrates how every time you put 2 things and 2 things together you're really getting 5 things and just not noticing one of them.

Similarly, if someone comes to you with a purported demonstration of momentum nonconservation in "ordinary" circumstances, then if you check their work carefully enough you may be entitled to conclude that something's wrong with our understanding of physics. But you shouldn't leap from there to "momentum isn't conserved" until you actually see momentum clearly not being conserved, or find a coherent theoretical framework that explains what you've seen along with all the previous evidence for momentum conservation, and that has momentum not being conserved as claimed.
Last time I looked through the YC alumni list (http://yclist.com/) I was surprised at how heavily it was skewed B2C though. I haven't checked since W15 was added but a quick skim and it still seems fairly B2C focused.

It's in their request for startups though. Seed funds don't seem to be an area that attracts B2B.

I suspect it's because you have to be in the industry to understand the problem exists in the first place, so a huge segment of the YC applicants simply don't know about those opportunities as they've not worked in industry and only know about B2C opportunities.
Due to its erratic development and the much-delayed release of Rust 1.0, I fear that many people have associated Rust with frequent breaking changes, even if that is no longer the case. It's much like the "Java is slow" fallacy; it may have been true in Java's very early days, but it hasn't been the case for many, many years. Yet the misconception still persists, even to this day. This is the sort of taint that a language will find very hard to shake. The "Rust suffers from breaking changes" misconception is very ingrained in the minds of many programmers now.

401Ks allow you to move the money between different managed funds. The main difference is choice: With a pension someone else decides which funds, with a 401K you decide which funds.

You don't need to be a financial expert to pick a managed fund. Just look at the fees and history and decide. A pension is like being locked into one managed fund the entire time no matter how poorly it performs or how high the fees go.

Plus some pensions don't diversify enough. I'm sure Enron's former employees will tell you all about it.

Looking at his github profile (shared in another post) he looks like an approachable fellow as well. It definitely would be interesting to see where Emacs goes, he mentioned he already had some ideas, hopefully we get to see and appreciate those new features that come up.
Ubuntu is usually the first to be offered by most cloud services (especially on free tiers), because its a good compromise between a liberal license, commercial support and light requirements. This gave it a good momentum in some quarters, although I agree that it doesn't really look like "domination".

It would be cool to get numbers across all providers, in terms of deployed instances of this or that OS. There's a good story to write, there.

"The open access model allows anyone, whether an academic or not, to read a journal online for free. Currently, most academic journals are funded by subscriber payments; with open access journals, the model is flipped around, with institutions paying to publish their papers."

Rust inherited the enthusiasm of some very prominent and outspoken members of the Ruby community. These ex-Rubyists honed the craft of projecting excitement with Ruby and RoR, and brought these skills and talents with them when they moved to the Rust camp. The D camp hasn't really had anyone like that join them.
I'm not trying to fight a battle against society. I was trying to express exasperation at your explanation.

A thought experiment. Imagine that everyone in the 18th century (including 60 year old men and women) jokingly called each other "retard". Would this strike you as immature? What if I expressed this sentiment aloud, and someone responded "There's a confounding social factor. If one were to object to such a social norm, he or she might be called a square and thus ridiculed! Maybe it's not right, but we can never stop being people."

This response bothers me. To call it a "confounding" rather than "additional" factor implies that risk of reputation somehow funges against the immaturity of the social norm. I would argue that calling people "retards" is immature regardless of the mechanism driving the social norm. On top of this, you seem to be implying that I think myself "superior" to those calling other people retards.

(Now replace every instance of "retard" with "evil democrats". That is my original argument.)

(By the way, your comment frames things as if you're 100% the good guy, and I'm obviously a villain. This is the exact behavior the Robinson article criticizes.)
