Even on a small scale there are significant benefits, both in production and in development and test. As the article states, containers are great for moving away from a monolith architecture. Many applications are moving to a distributed service oriented architecture. Each piece can be deployed separate. That leads to an easier more maintainable development process. However, the larger number of independently deployable apps adds operation complexity. Trying to manage that complexity, even on a small scale is no fun. Queue containers. Containers by themselves are interesting; they let you run many more applications on a single machine. Unlike a VM, there is no operating system chewing up ram and cpu. On machines only able to run 4 VM's reasonably well, I have seen nearly a hundred containers. That is only a small part. Container platforms such as Openshift make the process much nicer and more powerful. Openshift uses Kubernetes under the covers. You arrange your applications inside pods. The pods are wrapped in a Kubernetes service. The pods automatically assign internal ip addresses; that allows you to put, let's say, 20 wildfly servers on the same machine without worrying about ip and port clashes. The service acts as a load balancer and a router directs traffic accordingly. I don't have to worry about any of that. It is all automated. I create a build config and a deployment config for my services (there could be hundreds) then Openshift (or other container PAAS) maximizes the potential of my hardware. In development, it is much easier to completely replicate production. Everything is encapsulated in the container image. Not just the application; all of the software and configuration the application requires is part of the image. If I need to recreate the container image, every step is in the Dockerfile. I do not need documentation to remind me how everything is set up. In openshift, I grab a template, then click a button; within seconds, the containers of my app are running. That would take much longer with VMs. Containers allow me to develop in a production like environment because I am able to deploy an unscaled version easily. What took multiple physical machines to replicate now takes a few seconds to deploy on a laptop.

When growing plants such as carrots, as mentioned in the parent article, the crops are competing with the weeds for space, sunlight, and nutrients. In the orchard this is not an issue, and the ground cover can be beneficial to the crop.
"I’ve wasted the whole day exploring new things and concepts" is a weird thing to say after you set out with the goal of learning some new tools. Definitely seems like he learned something.
I don't understand you, my analysis was correct.

1. It was written by a non-native speaker, and
2. It was thrown up on HN in an incomplete state to garner attention (the OP said as much).

This is not an informal HN post, this was specifically crafted as marketing and it NEEDS to be done in a professional manner.

As far as I'm concerned, if the OP starts getting their posts proofread as a result of my "rude" post, then I've done the OP more good than anyone else here.
Girls in California Are Latest to Seek to Become Boy Scouts
The Reply All podcast had a pretty interesting episode on this recently: https://gimletmedia.com/episode/44-shine-on-you-crazy-goldma...
If you've lived through previous real estate cycles you know that prices can move very fast, especially to the down side. It would probably take 2 out of 3 of the following in order to trigger this in the Bay Area: meaningful interest rate hikes, market crash/tech firings, foreign money meaningfully drying up. One of the three would cause a slowdown but 2/3 causes the next real dip. It might not happen in the next couple years but it will happen at some point (''this time it's different'' - no). I don't know what you mean by ''usually'' but I'll say that about 30% of the Bay Area sellers I see move into other similar property (as evidenced by the filing of 1031 tax documents) and 70% either cash out an investment property and take the cash (almost all inherited properties fit in this bucket since the tax basis is market value and there is no tax due) or sell their primary home and move to a LCOL. I personally have no problem with foreign buyers participating in the market but we should incorporate this information into the debate about how to handle land use, zoning restrictions, and land taxation in the future (e.g. if foreign investors become a major ownership group in California, presumably residents would be in favor of higher property/land use taxes).
If only that were true. There are many, many reasons to keep using Matlab, mostly toolboxes and decades of software written on top of it. As I said in another comment, Matlab is a bad language, but a productive environment.

In grad school, if I wanted to do my own EEG connectivity analyses, I could just include the Signal Processing Toolbox, the Stats Toolbox, and crunch my own numbers. Or, if I wanted to do a more standard analysis of my fMRI or EEG data, I would turn to the world's most popular open-source toolkits (SPM and Fieldtrip), both of which require... you guessed it, Matlab.

The only place I ever found Matlab's libraries deficient for my needs was in machine learning. (I ended up doing an SVM-based spotlight fMRI analysis in Python.)

There's a lot of lock-in and quality toolboxes around Matlab, Python/Julia won't knock it over yet, though I wish them the best of luck.
Oh, absolutely. One Straw Revolution isn't a weeds-are-good book. It's a description of less intrusive methods to maintain crop health.

For rice plantations, he does try to ensure weeds don't grow. I don't remember the exact methods advocated, but I believe it was placing straw all over the ground, and for some crop he grew clover in the downtime between harvest season and growing season, I think. I don't recall too much, though.
Just checked this using mitmproxy. My United MileagePlus Account is definitely there.

Also, you need a valid MP#, and the # is not sequential (nor all numbers).

At least they're using https.

Edit: Also annoying the app keeps making calls to Gogo wifi and some other Wifi page.

Edit2: I just realized United _did_ fix it. Thought it said they refused to fix it.
French Vocabulary: 129 Most Common Adjectives – Talk in French
My experience is that you are going to be "locked in" in some way no matter what. Current infrastructure systems are a mess of vendor specific solutions and configurations. Migrating from one open source system to another is going to be just as hard as migrating from a proprietary thing like vanilla ECS to say kubernetes on bare metal.

There are other concerns like vendor pricing and stuff, but I have not had bad luck with that.

> Why are you afraid that I don't want you to know my reading list? Would you tell me yours?

I agree with your privacy-oriented attitude and the bug report, but this sentence made me think that:

1) lots of people love to share their reading lists. Yes, of course it's always an edited version (which enables privacy), but still...

2) ... websites like this very one are basically aggregated reading lists we all share. Others like Goodreads are basically just shared reading lists for offline content.

3) There are some browser plugins that tried to build communities around webpages, i.e. you'd go to a webpage and see other people reading it at the same time. They never seemed to get much traction. However...

4) ... would I like a system where I submit my browser history and get back recommendations for other pages or for communities to join? Yeah, I'd like that. Huge privacy implications, sure, but I bet a lot of people wouldn't mind trading some privacy with an automated entity if it means getting back more meaningful connections. In practice, Google Search does that already.

In the end, for most people the problem is to share more, in order to establish significant connections and augment their own knowledge, the issue only being who or what we're sharing with. We all joke that our browser history is horrible, but we would love nothing more than a nonjudgmental entity that can use it to improve our life.
Celestial navigation is way easier than you think it is. We have accurate clocks now, and you can just take the measurements and feed it into the computer.
Your English is good, but not good enough. If you're going to continue writing these articles in English, find a native speaker to proofread for you.

If you start getting your stuff proofread, my "asshole" comment will have done you more good than any of the touchy feely bullshit you've seen elsewhere in this thread.
Very cool. Similar to how Taxis (and Uber, Lift etc) work -- you're paying a premium for someone else to drive you around without owning a car.

@gwern has done self-experimentation with LSD microdosing.

Can you explain what the various reasons for not using a probability baseline (i.e., only if the model is pretty confident assign a label, otherwise say nothing) are? It's what we're being taught right now in ML classes, so I would like to fix my understanding.
I have countless weeks / months experience in dealing with manual weed removal. At times when I was younger I spent 14+ hours a day out in the field destroying weeds with a hand hoe.

One of the main crops I was doing it for was squash. The squash plant is pretty broad and the hand hoe allowed you to get close in under the plant. That's something this technique couldn't handle.

As someone working on minimum wage, I could get through a pretty large area in a day. Sometimes there would half a dozen of us in a gang. I'm not sure how much a device like this would eventually cost but I suspect for the same money you could buy a lot of minimum wage manual labour.

Either way, cool prototype!

Bloated beauracracies need agile ways to respond to important situations. Giving them a pass because they are bloated won't make that happen any sooner, and it does need to happen.
I used Slackware for several years as my main desktop machine. I never ran into dependency issues. You have to understand that the Debian et al approach of having dozens of small packages for everything you want to install is not universal.

I have often read "I don't have the time for Slackware." In all honesty, I spent way less time on the OS with Slackware. The quality was much higher, there was never a need to wait months for a bug fix because someone forgot to link something in, and it was really easy to build my own packages.

I eventually left because slackbuilds.org was not being run very well and I couldn't get the packages I needed. But the dependency issue was not a concern at all.
Compliance cars are weird in general, since the manufacturer doesn't really want to sell them. I wouldn't take that as anything meaningful outside the universe of compliance cars.

Edit: I realize what I said above isn't quite clear. I meant that there's no category of physical product out there that's subscription-only.
It's more than 10%. Many Chinese buy via LLCs which makes ownership impossible to determine. I work with one HOA board in Seattle where 50% of the units are now owned by Chinese investors. They are debating whether to pass a restriction on renting out units (limited to some % of total units, and you have to join a waiting list until new spots open up). This type of restriction eliminates investors but immediately drops market value by 20%. Similar to the co-op system in NYC. Talk to a high volume realtor in SF, LA, Seattle, or NYC and you will hear directly from them how many foreign buyers are influencing the market.
And some just want to burn out the weeds that have taken over the garden.

R replaced S and S-PLUS, not SPSS. SPSS is still around as a light, user-friendly stats tool.

And Octave is nowhere near replacing Matlab, not by a long shot. It's the complete opposite story as R/S-PLUS.

Source: was in grad school for cognitive neuroscience. Saw Matlab everywhere. Saw SPSS here and there. Saw Octave nowhere. Briefly looked at Octave and stopped as soon as I realized all of the packages everyone used required Mathworks toolboxes.
With a quick google search I found this stackexchange answer to preload data into cache with the pg_prewarm extension (from Postgres 9.4)

http://dba.stackexchange.com/a/116536

But this doesn't guarantees that the data will stay in the cache because: "Prewarmed data also enjoys no special protection from cache evictions, so it is possible for other system activity may evict the newly prewarmed blocks..."

This seems like the easiest way to get it working now. In fact, you could do the inverse at some point in the crop cycle - get workers/robots to identify the viable crops, and from that point on stamp everything else remotely plant-like out.
I love Acid and have taken the occasional microdose myself but I cannot support the authors attitude. The benefits described can all be achieved through meditation and single real doses of LSD, but after all it is merely a chemical shortcut to these higher states of conciousness where your mind loses its grip on you and you gain uninterrupted access to insight and creativity. Microdosing acid every fourth day is neither necessary nor very healthy, I assume, since there's a chemical component involved that acts on several neurotransmitter systems. The solution is already within everyone of us..
Yeah but that's not media-managed, it's just happening and that's it. It doesn't make waves.

Instead, what if we waited for a slow-news week and then go to a public forum and say "we're going to BLOW UP Pompei next month unless we get €1bn NOW". Of course we'd be vilified, but hey, it's not like we have many options left.
Thank you for speaking up!

Public assistance in this country is given up so grudgingly, and often so incompetently, as to be actively counterproductive.

In long-form television (or, some of these may have been created as films, a distinction in some European media that seems to depend in part on schedule and budget), I've been quite enjoying Il commissario Montalbano:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inspector_Montalbano_%28TV_ser...

You will like these if you enjoy quieter productions that depend on subtleties. And if you enjoy works that are both artistic (think about the state of the filmed street-scapes) and that seek to imbue local flavor.

Also, depending on where you get them from, the subtitles may not accurately convey some of the language and subtleties.

P.S. RAI subsequently launched a "prequel" series, The Young Montalbano. I haven't seen it in a while. It's ok, I guess, but I prefer the original.
Don't use jpeg format for this stuff, you'll end up just looking at blocking artifacts. Use PNG.
So can alcohol, but countless offices have beer fridges.

> One, AdNauseam, clicks every ad on every page I visit, baffling ad networks.

This seems like a bad idea for everyone involved:

* You leak more information to the ad network (or at least make your datapoint it more prominent in the database)

* You get worst ads (if the ad network uses a smart algorithm to serve personalized ads)

* The ad network gets info with worse information, so it will probably serve worst ads to everyone else (if a lot of people use this)

* The site you visited might end up receiving less money, as it can be accused of click fraud (if a lot of people use this)

Using an ad blocker seems like a much better option (I believe they actually block most of the tracking javascript from even being loaded, so you are probably not tracked anyway).

Am I missing something here?

I've heard from a friend at fitbit that jawbone, Nike, and others all licensed their tech from some professor's company, whereas fitbit developed their own in house... And evidently the licensor didn't keep pace with tech, but also didn't allow innovation on top of the stack.

This is second hand hearsay, take it for what it's worth.
I no longer put any stock in the word 'awesome' . It has been used way too much for things that are not awesome. I especially will not buy the recommendations of anyone who uses any of its derivatives either like "awesomesauce".
To clarify, I agree, if it's not the first they've heard from you, it's not cold calling. I do mean, though, that when you pick up the phone to cold call someone, you aren't calling at random- you're already calling someone who's in the right industry or whatever to have a chance of being interested in your product.
Couldn't you just use a browser that doesn't send user-agent?

10 Nifty New Things That Could Make Our Homes Smarter and Greener

I like using "neat" as well. Then again I'm in my forties ;)

I also like using "fantastic" instead of awesome and often get strange looks, but a bonus of being older is I don't give a crap!
Well, not so much.
Two important points the author (re-)discovered here, that are really not as commonly known as they should be:

1. Docker is a first-class citizen on Linux, and a second-class citizen everywhere else. "Setting up Docker" on Linux means installing the Docker daemon. "Setting up Docker" on OSX or Windows means installing a Linux VM containing Docker and getting it to port-forward the docker daemon from that VM to your host. After it's set up, there's no day-to-day usage difference—but that stumbling block is a big one.

2. Nothing AWS offers—no matter how much it might look that way—is an end-user platform. It's all infrastructure, the kind of thing sysadmins set up/deal with. Infrastructure-as-a-Service effectively means "our market is bigcorp CIOs making buy-vs-build decisions": decisions of whether to provision more local data-center infrastructure, or provision that same infrastructure "in the cloud."

In other words: Elastic Beanstalk isn't for prototyping an instance of your app! Instead, it's for CIOs considering replacing "our data center containing a bunch of machines with docker daemons on them" with "our AWS VPC containing a bunch of opaque instances with docker daemons on them." The same goes for every other AWS service: the documentation and "semantic models" of AWS services are not targeted at app developers, but rather at the sysadmins who were implementing the CIO's whims by keeping local infrastructure going at-scale, and are now implementing the CIO's whims by porting said infrastructure to the Amazon cloud.

AWS might be intuitive to you as a developer if you have 5+ years of devops experience, deploying your own code and and managing the infrastructure it sits on. Otherwise, the choices AWS offers will be pretty opaque to you.

(Side-note: there's a business model [that AWS allows and encourages] in taking an AWS IaaS-level component, and shellacking a coat of UX onto it to make it into a PaaS component, and making your money by arbitraging on the "PaaS premium." Heroku is PaaS-shellacked EC2 instances; Tarsnap (or Dropbox, even) is PaaS-shellacked S3 buckets; etc. I'm surprised more of these businesses don't exist.)
Idk how you could quantify that astrophysics is more competitive than biology. There is a lot more money and also many more investigators in biomedicine. NIH grant funding is insanely competitive.

Anyway, you are responding to an argument that I didn't originally make.

I was just at the Lean Startup conference, and a lot of the headline speakers were from big companies like GE and Intuit. A large portion of the audience was from names I recognized as well. Being a startup is immensely fashionable.

If large companies can figure out how to house innovation, it would solve some major problems that they have. But our current model of management is basically inimical to true innovation, so personally I'm skeptical.

The only thing I miss in books is the ability to sync page turns in e-pub acquired outside of the app-store.

How does this one do in that regard?
That's funny because I was about to say the complete opposite.
I prefer to compartmentalize and hide. Each area of interest and associated communities has its own persona, or set of more-or-less linked personas. Each persona has its own VM, and setup for Internet connectivity (various nested chains of VPN services and Tor). I also take basic steps to reduce tracking. I use Disconnect for search, block ads, and allow only scripts essential for rendering pages.
Right now? Pretty sure "dope" has been slang for "awesome" (not necessarily the same as "cool") since at least the 90's.
That would serve a somewhat different purpose than Social Security—a lower income throughout life rather than a higher income in retirement.

Regardless, though, it seems like there should be relatively elegant options for achieving both objectives with one system if we want to. Perhaps just increase the basic income after some age. (That sets off some warning bells in my head, though—it could be a step toward complexity and means testing.)
