Vulkan: Explicit operation and consistent frame times
In a trusted environment, I have found managing software updates and verifying that the updates are safe, challenging. Will be curious to know, how regular Linux kernel OS updates and runtime updates are managed by the CoreOS. Will there be someone verifying if the OS and runtime updates are safe and not compromising?

This is definitely a step in the right direction in the adoption of trusted computing.
Now that swift is opensource i'm looking forward to some better tools being released for it. Right now xcodes support of swift is pretty lacking. No refactoring, and compile errors are fairly ambiguous sometimes.

Since this has linux support i wonder if xcode or something similar will be ported to linux.
Looks really well done.

I played around a bit and it's working smoothly.

Kudos!
Move their fat bottoms away from the table when they’re done eating.

On a more serious note, you are of course correct, though I can imagine that having a link between somewhat-abstract calories and a timespan that you know you need to work out to get rid off these calories might help to restrict yourself? As in, “This cake has 600 calories” doesn’t sound like a lot, “I have to work out for an hour on a level that will leave me entirely crushed if I eat this cake” may be more relatable?

Job hopping, is it a problem?
When I had a project that I started on sf and later moved off, I kept the sf project technically alive, but removed all downloads. I updated with links to the project site.

This was a BlackBerry project, though, and it wasn't something you could install on a desktop - that may have been a contributing factor, but I never had any problems with them continuing to host the content after I deleted it.
> I really dislike the idea that programming languages have "commands"

I can see a perspective in which it makes sense to call imperative subroutines (in Python terms, functions that have side effects and follow the Python idiom for principally-effectful functions of returning None regardless of their inputs) "commands". But I probably wouldn't do it in a Python-focussed tutorial intended for new programmers, because it conflicts with what the language itself calls them and creates unnecessary friction.

There are definitely vulnerabilities being discovered in user namespaces, but they're a significant layer of defense as-is that will only improve.

To be honest, I don't think containers are even particularly good for local development. I'd rather run something that acts like my production environment, which means a virtualized system that's version- and patch-equivalent to my prod environment. I use Vagrant and scaled-down virtual machines for that.
That is the wrong wy to think about it. If you want to take an analogy, and I still dislike it but if pushed, I would call it sportsbetting.

There is a degree of chance (lets stop using luck) about both start ups and sportsbetting. They depend on forces outside of one's control.

However, a lottery mathematically dictates that you will have a poor outcome of winning and all you can do is increase your probability by buting tickets. A startup has more control over how it operates.

A gambler can watch tapes and use past performance to find a perceived mismatch between the spread or gaming lines, and their appraisal.

Many gamblers are unsuccessful. However there is a reason that the same couple guys seem to make it to the end of the world series of poker every year[0].

Peter Theil discusses it in depth in You're not a lottery ticket[1]. Startups are risky as hell and even smart people with good ideas fuck them up. However, smart people with good ideas only rarely win the lottery[2]

Yahoo for years has seemed like a company resting on its laurels. With 400 million email users and a bunch of web properties that are relatively low maintenance or running on automatic (weather, sports, finance), they have become complacent, while smarter competitors have blown past them in search, innovative new services etc.

Their News aggregator site used to be useful to me until it turned into something akin to a tabloid/clickbait site.

Sorry to hear that the 90s Dot Com mentality is still pervasive within the corporation, but maybe that's to be expected of a company that grew so fast and probably promoted a lot of amateurs into high managerial positions.

Usually this is a matter of bad coding or overprovisioning of whatever is being used to host the site and the DB.

He may have heard it direct from Apple. They have a close partnership for developing enterprise iOS apps, and have been for almost two years.

I had no idea myself until I went to interview at IBM. I haven't had the opportunity to work with Swift professionally though, so they went with someone else. Possibly the OP :P

BitMessage has greater latency (~2 Mins?) but is fully P2P, given the cost estimates for a server upthread, I wonder if bandwidth concerns are the reasons for a client server architecture over P2P...

My understanding is that BitMessage achieves its non-content privacy guarantees by sending each message to all clients, and then the latency is the result of the Proof of Work and some other concepts borrowed from BitCoin.

I'd love to hear more about it if you have time.

In particular, I'm interested in the P2P vs Client-Server trade off, is Vuvuzela workable in a fully P2P network, say over WebRTC?

I'm much more thrilled about Swift the about Go. Sure Go has a head start in server-side department, but from what I know of Swift I'd much rather write webapps in it then in Go.

Many webapps have a kind of "highlevelness" to them, and Swift nicely addresses that with it's features. Go is somehow on a kind of feature diet that's just not my cup of tea. And in terms of low-high-level-ness it I put it somewhere in between Swift and the obviously low-level Rust.

1. I said "effectively" a tax on death, because it's levied at the time of wealth transfer, which is almost always at death.

2. There is blaring, obvious religious justification for considering conception to be the beginning of life, and it has a high degree of consistency in logic and basic medical observation. Arguing that life begins at some other (arbitrary) point is a loser's game, my friend, and it comes right out of a post-modern nihilistic nonsense. Being anti-abortion has everything to do with protecting the rights of the child because that child is a person, and nothing whatsoever to do with controlling women, except to the extent it's required to protect the life of the child.

3. Because....what? If that's not manufactured outrage, then I don't know what is. Seriously. I think it's highly likely that most people refer to the Democratic party as the Democrat party because "democrat" is the noun that the adjective "democratic" comes from, and is the grammatically proper way to refer to someone who is a member of the Democratic party (as a "democrat").

All of this really kind of proves my point, I think: I nor any conservative that I know are upset that you don't describe things using our preferred terminology, but you seem to be upset (accusing me of dishonesty seems pretty upset to me) that I decline to use yours. Seems like a one-way street to me.

> Docker containers do not need to run as root and the documentation does recommend running containers as non-root users. Yet, unless something is default, it's hard to make users follow best practices. For that reason, user namespaces are important.

Definitely, but, in my experience, it gets worse than that, and why this is really important and not just important. Most containers are built on top of full OS images, with a full OS image's worth of vulnerabilities (some inert because services aren't running, but setuid's still respected--and I wonder how many setuid'd tools are actively tested in a containerized environment!), and it's rare in my experience that those base containers actually get updated after the end user selects one and a version to go along with it. Which means that even a properly-built container that doesn't run its internals as a non-root user may--and a pessimist might say "probably does"--have user escalation bugs squirreled away somewhere that the user not only doesn't know about, but isn't capable of auditing or is even aware that they might exist.

This, not "users don't read docs", is why I am so very, very salty about this in Docker, and while I'm glad that now Docker users (and, full disclosure, I'm not one anymore in part because of the poor security story--monolithic do-everything daemon running as root, no user namespaces--and in part just not wanting to be the stooge for somebody's platform play) don't have to "expect to wait long", this was promised in something like Docker 1.4, a year ago.
Improvements to our LuaJIT benchmarking are currently being discussed in https://github.com/JuliaLang/julia/issues/14222. LuaJIT 2.1 is significantly faster than LuaJIT 2.0, but until now I haven't had a convenient way to get an installation of LuaJIT 2.1 on our test machine. LuaSci was easy to install and we would be amenable to switching over to LuaSci instead of vanilla gsl-shell. See https://github.com/JuliaLang/julia/issues/14222#issuecomment... for a timing comparison.

Anybody knows what effects of the "copyright owned by the contributor" are in the context of Swift's Apache license?

I guess the "good side" is that the lawyers of other companies probably like when the code made by their programmers keeps being copyrighted by the company. But it is still an Apache license, so they can't demand too much from the users of the code.

Still, are there any negative aspects? Any imaginable danger?

Can the standard library have problems with (once in the future) having different copyright holders for its different parts?
Sounds like talking past each other with different notions of democracy.
People are upset because it feels like another step in the shift of power from a democratically elected state to the oligarchs.

You're right that it is fully within his right to keep it, but then he would have had to do things like pay taxes on it. By doing this he can avoid estate tax and keep the power within his family or inner circle. He can be left to pursue his worldview without interruption.

I'm sure he'll do some great things with his foundation, and others I'll completely disagree with, but the point is it moves us further down this road of oligarchy and reliance on the extremely wealthy.

EDIT: Just wanted to add an example. The Gates foundation put something like $200 million towards Common Core education standards, which was rapidly pushed through and adopted after their funding. Regardless of whether you are for or against it, it goes to show that one extremely wealthy foundation was able to completely change national education policy in less than a decade to reflect their singular worldview. That to me is unacceptable in a democratic society.
Why do you think D3 is not well suited to this task? Given all the amazing layouts it can manage very well this is surprising.

Naturally you wouldn't be able to use their default tree layout because it assumes identically sized nodes but creating your own layout should be doable. If I remember correctly D3's tree layout code is 200LOC.

I am heading down this path now so I'm sorry to see both you and poster above giving up on D3 for this.

> You aren't less of a citizen because you try to not pay more tax than you owe.

That is true for some values of "citizen" and "owe", but not others. If you're using the strict definitions of the laws, it's technically true. If by citizen you mean something like, "participant in a community of place" and by "owe" you mean "should fairly pay" then it's also true. But when you mix those, it can easily be false. Being a citizen in that sense is about full participation in the community, and paying is part of that.

This matters because of your next mistake:

> The exemptions for certain types of income are put there because the legislature wants to promote certain activities as beneficial to the public good.

This is manifestly not how laws get made in the US. Many studies indicate that US legislators are much more sensitive to the concerns of the rich than they are to anybody else. And abstract conceptions of "the public good" don't vote, so they're definitely not sensitive to those.

> If you think so, then donate 100% of your income to the government and live on public assistance.

This is just fatuous. You're arguing with a particularly dumb straw man here. Tax policy is about finding fair ways to pay for collective action and to shape society over the long term. Believing that should work well is not equivalent to your absurd belief that anybody advocating for reasonable tax policy is in favor of the world's dumbest communism.
I guess the idea is that you will be able to run the same code from your fronted (iOS, OS X) also in the backend (some Linux server).

Writing tooling for C++ is difficult because of how entangled all the language's features are (and its wonky grammar certainly doesn't help). In addition C++'s type system is probably even weaker than Go's, having inherited a lot of slop from C.

That said, if you're talking about source code formatters, I'm pretty sure that clang-format predates gofmt (and surely clang-format was not the first automatic source code formatter for C++). The coup for Go was that they got the community at large to standardize upon and champion gofmt, which is not something that C++ has ever matched.

Tumblr is certainly popular but it always reminded me of LiveJournal: a sort of simplified blog-lite with the ability to comment or follow pages/people that you like. For the blogger, there's the ability to go as simple as just posting links and images or customize your layout to some degree.

The thing that always struck me when I looked through tumblr is that essentially all of the "comments" are just the equivalent of likes or retweets and less actual comment threads. Always seemed like sort of a waste but I guess people use it more like a "richer" version of Twitter without the character limit and with easier embedding of media.

> Matlab will always have its proponents

I honestly can't understand why. I'm currently in a computer vision class that uses Matlab, and it's literally the worst language I've ever used in my life. The design is nonsensical, bordering on malicious

I've always thought that the biggest problem with python was that as programs get bigger, you're likely to run into some confusion due to the lack of static typing and substantial use of implicit conversion (e.g. "Truthy" and "falsy" values), but python has nothing at all on Matlab.

Just last night, a matrix I constructed using the expression "[x, y, (x+scale), (y+scale)]" inexplicably had dimensions 1x8 instead of the visually obvious 1x4, but only after a few hours of matlab slowly evaluating this expression thousands of times without any trouble. I suspect this has something to do with matlab's horrible ambiguous matrix concatenation syntax.
Type I is (usually) an immune disorder where the immune system destroys the cells that normally produce insulin. I don't want to make an absolute statement about that not reversing, but it would be incredibly unusual.

What signs made you know it was safe to go off your bipolar meds?
I think that's a very optimistic view.

Full EVs are a drop in the bucket right now. The Model 3 isn't even released, probably won't be widely available for another couple years, will likely cost around $50K comparably equipped, and even then Tesla likely couldn't make enough to make a dent in the overall market.

The Leaf is a great car (IMO), but even in a major metro (DFW) spot-charging is really impractical. There are NO DC quick-chargers in North or North East Dallas last I looked, and you at minimum have to have a subscription just to have the option to pay to use them. There's a reasonable number of Blink Network chargers around, but no one who's actually used those would suggest they're a viable way to maintain a charge without major compromises. Using a Leaf to commute to the suburbs is an experience fraught with stress as well.

Maybe in a couple years the Leaf will have kicked the range-anxiety issue to the curb. And the Chevy Beat looks very promising. 2 cars in the range of the average new car purchase price does not make for domination though.

My prediction is that it's realistically going to be at least 3 car generations before that has a chance of happening, and most manufacturers haven't even released a full EV yet. That's a good 15 to 20 years as a best case scenario. That doesn't address the Truck and family SUV market either. These things are made for hauling. They're going to suck down a lot more power. "Work Trucks" aren't going to convert for much longer Though I think there's a good chance many will go hybrid in ~10 years. There's got to be a ton of utility in a series-hybrid truck for towing, site power, etc.

Just my 2c. I've actually owned a Leaf. I think EVs are great. A lot more so than people even realize. Instant torque and acceleration response makes them really fun to drive. That doesn't mean I think they'll somehow become dominant in the same timespan that it took Nissan to come out with a massively compromised diesel truck nobody is going to buy. That's beyond optimistic IMO.
