Stuff like this (from Docker Inc, not Kubernetes) is why I'm really glad that Kubernetes is doing this.

I'm a Mesos user and absolutely can't wait until the Unified Containerizer bits are finished. The plan is to be able to pull down a docker image and run it as though it was being ran via the docker daemon, but not using docker and instead using the mesos native namespacing and control group bits. I would have already been a Kubernetes user had it not have depended on docker so heavily.

In our mesos environment, the only part we have issues with on a regular basis is docker. First it was the userland proxy and the performance and latency issues it introduced. Then it was the unresolved bug of docker just simply hanging under any sort of load[1] with upstream not really caring at all. Then there are random and difficult to reproduce issues where containers with bridged networking simply stop passing traffic from external interfaces into the containers when nothing has changed etc. So we use docker containers for some things, but try to limit them due to docker simply not being amazing for running production services for some of our use cases.

Granted geebee referenced the Valley specifically, but how many software engineers get significant bonuses? I have been various kinds of engineer for almost 14 years and have yet to be in a position to get much more than 5%. My current company is 100% owned by a single person and gives absolutely no bonuses.
Who handles conversion rate optimization where you work?
Patio11 has talked about the mythical 'markdev'. A developer or engineer who spends most of their time using code to generate revenue in a more direct way than building product.

I'd be curious to hear how most companies handle optimizing for revenue. Are you the mythical markdev where you work? Does a traditional marketer do it? Does no one do it?

Also, for some context, sharing approx. number of employees and industry would be illuminating.

Git repositories do have a full copy of the codebase (unless using some large-file management, same issue with largefiles extension for hg).

But gitlab/github are more than just git repositories -- issue tracking, discussions, wiki, etc. One version control which includes most of this as part of the repository is fossil, http://fossil-scm.org
Yes, fibers/coroutines are good for socket I/O because sockets could be made non-blocking, therefore a fiber could yield on EWOULDBLOCK error from a socket. For file I/O there is no non-blocking I/O option, so the whole OS-thread might block on it along with all the fibers that it owns. Therefore any operation that is not socket I/O and goes beyond CPU and RAM should be delegated from fibers to a good old worker thread pool. The fiber should yield after submitting a request to the pool, and on the request completion the worker thread should notify the fiber scheduler to resume the original fiber.
I meant instead of $1 in $1 off - too much work.
I disagree with your second part. A good counter example is that if I had a basic income, I'd be much more likely to pursue a career in scientific research, particularly in the area of Marine Biology. I love software development but I also love biology. The big choice for me is that software pays very well and makes it much easier to support a family which is also important to me. Given an opportunity to have a baseline to supplement my income, I'd be vastly more likely to choice a career that allowed me to not only do right by my family but had a net positive impact on the world as a whole.
You're looking only at base salary. Bonus and stock vesting (I'm talking generally about large, public tech companies you've all heard of - not startups) raise the total cash significantly.
> My reasoning there is that those who want to use DRM are not going to accept any alternative that is not DRMd.

Of course they will. The big media companies like to posture and pretend they're going to take their ball and go home, but the customers hold all the power in this relationship.
It's not like they are going to leave money on the table by sticking to dying platforms out of a religious devotion to DRM, they just think they can have their cake and eat it too by bluffing.
I use the word 'zany' as an euphemism for 'scary'. As someone who's advertised on Facebook using video (hindsight:20/20), to think that I got charged for a video view while someone read the post above / below mine on their Full HD monitor, is kinda gross
In particular, the commerce clause prevents states from regulating interstate commerce, so anyone can just buy a phone online to work around the problem. Unfortunately, this might have an impact on carrier stores, and many people still get their phones from the carrier. I don't just want technical folks to have security; I want everyone to have security.
Really? I'm pretty sure that when CA passed the smartphone kill switch law all smartphones got kill switches.
> The justification for the decryption requirement in the bill, as has become the norm, is the threat of criminals or terrorists using encrypted devices for nefarious deeds.

How does it decide which files are permitted to be accessed by the app?
I think the distinction being made is the value of the stock vs the value of the company, which is not always perfectly in sync. That's why, at any given time, a stock can be undervalued or overvalued. For example, I think you'd be hard pressed to state that the value of a stock right before a company announces unexpected losses is representative of the actual value of the company. The perceived value, prior to the announcement, is too high.
Nice catch! Thanks
I know this might hurt y'all's pride, but yous can't claim to be the only ones to have done so.
I think the most interesting part of prisoners' inventions is how humble they are. A salt shaker. A radio. Hot glue dispenser. Simple small things that apparently enrich a person's life enough (and makes getting through prison life better enough) to go through the trouble of building them from scratch.
Over a thousand people were killed by police in the US in 2015 according to http://killedbypolice.net/ which is more than fatalities from shark bites, airplane crashes and terrorist attacks in America combined in this recent calendar year, so comparing those with police shootings(some justified, many not) is dubious at best.

Maybe expecting to be murdered is a dramatic perspective to have, sure. Most people aren't murdered. But expecting the people who are hired and paid with tax dollars to "Protect and Serve" but instead kill, beat, or straight up steal from you(among other things) doesn't seem like something we should just accept because statistically it happens less than other things.

I doubt it would satisfy them, if the language of the bill, and the arguments being used thus far, is a valid indication. What they want is the ability to decrypt, and to get that means compelling companies to enduring cryptographic key escrow service, which law enforcement can use a subpoena to have Apple, Google, Microsoft, etc use to turn over plain text.

So far this is "data at rest" request. It's for data on the phone. It's not for data in motion which is another technology that PFS makes rather difficult to impractical to setup key escrowing for, that's sorta the point. But then, the basebands are all proprietary and probably compromised by state (nations) actors.

There's workout, and then there's workout. Try squatting 405lbs or deadlifting 495lbs for reps (or whatever your limits are when it comes to maximum exertion). That stuff wears you out pretty good. I wouldn't recommend doing it in the morning. Cardio, light lifting, sure, but that doesn't really tax the CNS that much.
I'm interested in some financial programming. Does everyone use Haskell or other functional languages? Where can I learn some basics?
Clever idea, however keep in mind that you are trusting both your file system permissions to be sane and your kernel to enforce them correctly (I.e. Not have bugs). a lot of projects have tried to do this (i.e. SeLINUx, trusted bsd) and it turns out to be surprisingly hard to build isolation policies that are useable and practical. I think one very cool solution recently has been qubes-- it runs each application in its own, temporary VM and provides secure UI magic for file opening, clipboard, etc

In my experience, having worked at many "tech companies" as well as "square-job companies", there is no great difference in how software engineering types are treated.
> However, a career as a software developer or engineer comes with no guarantee of job satisfaction.

No career comes with a guarantee of job satisfaction, and very few come with much security. Less so in the tech industry, because tech itself is evolving quickly.

I'm a little disappointed that this reporter feels such a statement is newsworthy. To read this article, I would almost believe that its author doesn't believe in meritocracy or neo-liberalism, which is kind of bad faith, coming from The Economist.

Good point, I don't know about outside of the Seattle area, but I've had many job interview requests in Seattle where the recruiter offers such perks so it's not that uncommon (I don't get any where I am, but my pay isn't SV or Seattle levels either).
In the old days, I thin NT 4, SQL 6.5, you could call out to the OS from SQL triggers. I created a SQL trigger on a test/database/test table that did netsend to a co-worker/friends machine with "You have performed an invalid command. Idiot!". That table got inserts about 1-3 per minute, but sometimes up to 10.

I probably understand these concepts without knowing their official names. But man, sometimes I feel really dumb when I see phrases like "Queue Invariant" or "Amortised Complexity". It's nice that this article explains them simply.
Perhaps I'm the only one that sees this, but this essay appears to be a significant departure from the YC rhetoric I've observed in the past few years. Every time I've heard retention discussed (at YC) in the context of growth, it's cast as something you address when your growth has stalled. Not, as this essay would lead you to believe, a prerequisite of growth itself.

This essay, while it discusses a really important idea, comes across as saying: "Foolish, fashion-focused founders! Clearly retention comes first! We would never imply that you should focus on growth before your product had adequate retention!"

But that's exactly what I've seen YC partners do. Recommend that companies focus on growth, because that's what YC's definition of a startup is: a company that grows very quickly. Having seen both sides of the curtain, the essay leaves me with a greasy, queasy feeling.

Am I missing something here?

Sam, are you changing your standing advice from "focus on growth" to something else? If that's what this post signals, please take ownership of the change and spell it out.

It's poor form to imply that misguided founders (and their devotion to a fad) are driving the growth zealot craze when you've had a hand on the wheel for years.

No one is going to ask the question that way. "Do you want to buy a less secure phone?" is exactly the same question as, "Do you agree that law enforcement should be able to access a suspected terrorist or pedophile's cell phone conversations and data with an appropriate court order?"

You will get vastly different answers depending on which phrasing you use. That's what the politicians count on.

Sure. Groups like the Black Panthers and various left-aligned groups tend to resist "armed government forces".

But, the counterexample to your narrative are the various militias that are slightly racist and espouse right-wing rhetoric.

Sometimes adults like to dress up in black shirts and carry weapons around, regardless of what political affiliation they have.

Yes, and how many of those shootings were justified? How many of those were in self defense? I'd wager the bulk.

I'm not saying unjustified shootings are absolutely ZERO. But it's relatively small in comparison to things like, say, black shootings. And I'm not saying "you should be afraid of black people" (because you shouldn't. . .), but what I AM saying is that iamleppert should put his fear of cops into perspective.

Something modern on Amiga:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XsJnMWX1qa0

There is a Bad Apple on an oscilloscope and a TI calculator so obviously there would be an Amiga version. Not as impressive as the Commodore C64 version which is an insane feat of compression: http://csdb.dk/release/?id=131628
(reminds me of the famous state of the art amiga demo).

Briefly Bad Apple was a sport akin to porting Doom to the most unexpected platform you could think of.
> Also, I can't decide if cops have started to do this more, or that they've always done but there weren't as many cameras around to record it, and only the poor people got to experience that side of the "law".

I don't know either, but Chicago had a police torture scandal that occurred in the 70s and 80s: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jon_Burge

I very much doubt that police treatment of black people is WORSE than before. Maybe we were briefly better in the 80s and 90s, but I don't see any reason to believe so.
>you are far more likely to shot or beaten up by a black man than you are through a crooked cop

True, but after being shot or beaten up by a black man, you are free to go.

If you are shot or beaten up by the cops, you will be arrested and charged with a felony. And then you will have to prove your innocence.

Comsat (one of the servers in my benchmark i linked) is written by the same people and uses Quasar. so eg Comsat Jetty is an async jetty servlet with a bridge to a Quasar fiber-based handler. the performance in my simplistic test wasn't great (async jetty was 50% faster than comsat jetty) - i don't know if that's representative

however, it's very easy to work with and mimics the Jetty API, which is really nice. https://github.com/nqzero/jempower/blob/master/comsat/src/ma...

for my database i was initially worried about the LGPL license for Quasar, but the guys assured me that it's not viral in this usage and i think they're correct

pron (one of the developers) is active posting on HN and has written some very good/knowledgeable stuff about java, so i suspect that Quasar is technically solid. i do plan on doing an integration with my database at some point and i'll write up my results and post them on HN

React is a different way of building user interfaces. Instead of finding the right UI element to update, you write functions that generate a description of the entire UI from the state, then the library calculates the differences to update the changed elements.

As a result, old advice about separating code from templates does not apply. Combining code and templates is the right thing to do in React, and JSX is far more pleasant to read and write than the native function call syntax, which is still available if you really don't like JSX.

If you haven't tried it, you should.

Our motto is "Make something people want!" If that's not a statement about retention, I'm not sure what would be.

And a startup needs to grow quickly. It's not an either/or--at most, it's a sequencing issue.

Most founders fail because they don't make a product product some users love, or they never make a product at all. Others fail because they don't figure out how to grow fast.

But the best way to grow fast is to have a product that's so good people tell their friends about it.

All I'm saying is that I think things have shifted--perhaps because we've given bad advice, but also probably for lots of other reasons--and founders should course correct.
Yeah if you read https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cargo_cult#Post-war and swap "investor money" for "cargo" it works quite amusingly.
