> positions that don't match anything in my profile

It's funny you mention that because I feel like in the last year or so LinkedIn recruiters have caught on a bit. I've received far less solicitations than years past (at one point I was getting 5-10 per day). In fact I rarely ever get LinkedIn spam these days. Instead I'm seeing more spam from Dribbble and AngleList.
I would say part of this can be chalked up to a cultural difference. Germans and Japanese are risk-averse (as a generalization) and don't like risky entrepreneurial ventures. You want to take a nice business plan to a bank for debt financing, instead. Think of all the big public German companies like SAP, Bayer, Siemens: they're all in boring, bog-standard industries.

In contrast, other cultures with a greater threshold for risk have more of an appetite for the stock market. This goes hand-in-hand with innovation/startup culture.
AAwooga! Awooga!! Add this girl you hooked up with at a frat party in 2004 to your professional network!! Connect with your former sketchy real estate agent who snorted coke, attempted to feel up your sister in law, and then fell into the pool at the open house.

I don't know how Linkedin finds these people that I purposely spent the last decade trying to forget, and why they are so insistent that I connect professionally with them all.
How to Setup a Middleman Blog on GitHub Pages with One Click
It doesn't work, even after clearing cookies, even in incognito mode:

- Launch new Chrome incognito session

- Open HN story page, click 'web' link

- Click first Google result: http://www.wsj.com/articles/voter-records-for-2-million-iowa...

- I get a partial WSJ page obscured with "To Read the Full Story, Subscribe or Sign In"

I think WSJ is getting smart. Maybe they temp-block IP addresses that try to access a news article (with or without a Google referer) if this IP just tried to access it without a referer in the last X minutes.

Edit: I didn't change anything and now it works. (Standard Chrome install on Linux, latest version, no third-party plugins installed, only extensions installed are Authy and Google Docs.) Go figure what WSJ is doing...
It'll be like Maine except we will have triple the cost of living. Anchorage will look like Detroit and the bush will look like rural mongolia 100 years ago.

Maybe we'll even have to run the iditarod for real again to try and get vaccines/food/supplies to nome.
For what it's worth this happened to me through a client's account (client wasn't checking emails and didn't see warning mails re CC expiring). I reached out to customer support once the site went down and even though we were beyond the cut-off deadline they re-activated all the droplets. Perhaps they have updated their process in this regard. I also learned my lesson and made sure I got forwarding on all mails related to DO.
If you have used shared hosting you know as soon as you pay for your expired account, everything is back as it was. Never thought this was a problem until you try to test how long you can go until you pay and still restore you data.

If DO's CC can't handle data management problems they probably will connect you to their engg/ops team. So I would assume they would prefer having it resolved ( by giving the data if they had ) instead of keeping it and let user rant/post about it( which they know will probably happen ).
Sounds really interesting. Anyone have an invite, they would like to share?
I thought that was a privateer.
Is English your first language? I'm just wondering, because that may be why you are missing the emotional reason why those words would be an insult.
Chris, did you get in contact with recruitment re: some potential work?
Rakudo Star Release 2016.01 (useful and usable production distribution of Perl6)
In iTunes 10.7 with iOS 6.1.3, it is possible to sync Safari bookmarks, contacts, calendars, photos, and music over USB. I don't always have Internet access, particularly when on a plane.

Notes sync was broken between 10.7 Lion and 10.8 Mountain Lion. Now it won't sync without iCloud.

To downgrade iTunes 11 to 10 on Mavericks 10.9, I had to replace some system libraries. That broke the Mac App Store. I use a friend's laptop to get binaries of apps that they download that are only on the App Store (e.g. Shazam, LINE).

If Apple fixes USB sync, I might force myself to get over the new GUI (which is awful - no track name & artist on the iTunes MiniPlayer?).

If Linux developers get USB sync to work reliably, and make some UI scripting tool similar to AppleScript, then I would consider switching.
> you know they are suffering from systemic issues internally

I mean, when hasn't github been suffering from systemic internal issues? Drama is practically their whole schtick.
Why should I provide the links anyway?

The haters will downvote, regardless of what I write.

The others will think that instead of Germany I could have written any European country name, because you just need to get into a regular store to find such dumb TVs.
Insightful comment and one that many so-called "uber for x" companies should study up on.
> The reliance on the stock markets is mostly a phenomena of the English speaking countries

I know more about how it works in the US than in other English-speaking countries.

That listed US non-financial corporations attain capital via stock issuances, initial or subsequent, is a kind of mythology. From a century back until now, less than 5% of US non-financial corporate capital expenditures are from capital raised by stock issuances.

If you look at the numbers, it mostly works in the US in the same manner as Germany, France, Japan etc. To raise capital, corporations reinvest profits, they go to the banks, they sell bonds. The idea that stock exchanges are heavily involved with companies raising capital is a widespread one, but that has more to do with the aptitude of stock exchange PR departments than reality.
You don't have to use docker pull. You can use any system capable of distributing a standard OCI bundle, including (but not limited to) docker.
What you are looking at is a classic problem in all of programming: making data machine-readable vs human-readable. Relying on file names for any sort of data is bad practice, IMO. This info should be contained within metadata within the file. So in the file system "object_0001.obj" might contain metadata like "label" "tags" etc - that said you may want two versions of the data - let artists organize their files according to a human-friendly system, but when they are imported into the engine the appropriate metadata must be filled out and the file gets automatically saved to a specific location determined by the engine or editor.
That was my point. A modern dumb flat TV is no different than a monitor.

Xcode 3's code completion made everything run so slowly that I had to turn it off, and for a while I just copied and pasted method names out of the Cocoa header files.
Your goals sound too large. Start small. Reminds me of a saying my grandmother used to say, when we took walks. "One step in front of the other, over leaves, past trees, and over bridges"

The method I use to get stuff done:

1. Keep in mind an overarching goal; usually something simple and easy to do, but big enough to be a goal. For example, make a humidifier sensor that reports room humidity to a server.
2. Write down small tasks on sticky notes. Very very small. So small, they are easily achievable.
3. Place these sticky notes where you will notice. i.e partly over your monitor.
4. When you've finished a task, throw the stupid sticky in the garbage.
5. Rinse and repeat.

Becomes kinda fun.
OCI focuses on the intermediary runnable format (think "ELF for containers") for a simple pragmatic reason: to accomodate pre-existing container packaging systems which were not compatible with each other. A good analogy would be designing a common vm that different programming languages can compile to, without forcing all developers to adopt the same syntax (a hopeless task).

Ironically this was specifically to accomodate the ACI format pushed by CoreOS, which is completely incompatible with Docker images. We designed OCI and runc to allow both Docker and ACI to target a common format and low-level runtime. The reasoning was "let's deliver a solid building blick which everybody can use instead of boiling the ocean with a giant over-reaching spec".
Just a quick nitpick: discoveryd was reverted on the last release... OSX is back using mDNSResponder again. You can't really say "It amazes me that such bugs stick around" if you're not actually on the newest version.
There's this notion going around that money is stored in some "rich person warehouse" never to be seen again when it isn't invested in a clean tech / end income equality social venture
Doesn't that make it pain when debugging or heading down to the directory level? I think rememberable and commonsense file naming makes sense.
Thanks! That clears it up!
They have the data from the review system, as at URL [1]. They can [they hope] create value by providing a reputation service that serves the interests of both customers and cleaners by allowing them to screen each other. They're not handling the actual transaction the way that AirBnB does, however, so I'm not sure what the specifics of the business model are.

Yes, it's digital oceans fault that people want to pay bargain basement prices and then wonder why they are getting bargain basement service.
We moved from GitHub to Gitlab (mostly self hosted), honestly - Gitlab is just so much better in almost every way. We find the UI (recently) so much more intuitive, Gitlab CI is fantastic when combined with Docker, they're far more transparent and pro open source, their dev and management team will do almost anything to listen and help you, the configuration and customisation of the self hosted omnibus install is almost fantastic, they've been squashing bugs and releasing features rapidly while also decreasing the number of regressions introduced and improving their test suit across the board.

> The law does not need formal definitions like that. Law isn't programming, this is what nerds usually forget.

It is not about laws, but about experts opinions in judgments. Courts routinely hire lawyers and experts to redact very formal, technical, philosophical and nitpicky memos about a topic. The CJEU has a resident pool of such experts and they are all very qualified (and variegate in their political orientation).

Obviously those memos are not turned into law. We are talking about judgments here. But those memos are read and used by judges to inform their decisions. I would just love to get access to the memos that are surely being produced for this case.

The Interesting Thing About the Uber “Logo”
Just in case a shorter version appeals to you, I think you could rewrite it like this:

timeout 60 bash -c 'until is_ready; do sleep 10; done'

You'll need to `export -f is_ready` if it's a shell function.
That's assuming you can use a timeout instead of number-of-retries.

I think you just summed up why no one's been able to kill off craigslist. CL kept it simple, stuck to what they did best and hardly added any features.
When reading this I though, is this how the next "web" will look like!? Having the world mounted at file system level and content streamed or pushed on demand.

What about a public key block-chain where "mining" is storing and serving data!? A system with baked in hosting/browsing, identity (public key) and micro-transactions (web-money).
Well privateers and pirates are pretty much the same thing in practice, the only difference being that pirates operate on their own, while privateers are blessed by a particular State. But they both follow the same course of action.
GitHub got off the ground on-selling an emerging open-source product as a service with some innovations around data visualizations / analytics and community structure, customized for the web. Their growth really comes down to the right set of features at the right time, a low friction setup, good price point and good flow of communication with their user base.

The perceived stagnation is likely a side-effect of scaling the operation to fit with increased demand and the growth and expectations of their private & enterprise (paying) customers, who have become notably more high profile as the years roll on. With it comes the difficulty and expense of providing a dependent, secure infrastructure and a more refined and audited code base to fit the needs.

It's a diverse community here and while some groups consistently demand feature freeze (hating on 'bloat', 'features coming from marketing', focus on 'core product'), others are only convinced that a products relevancy is based only on cutting edge features ('we need feature a, because b', 'product c is irrelevant because product d offers a'). To offer refinement that appeals to both camps is a delicate tightrope.

Meanwhile you have market speculation that would use in part a forum like this as a sounding board for some kind of consumer sentiment index.

The complaints with GitHub seem fairly incidental, people airing their grievances on the incumbent because the cost of moving is considered either a hassle or a big-deal. But moving is an option, and the perceived stagnation is building a better competition (that they fulfill the promise without other expenses is always the gamble). GitHub isn't without problems, and it does seem like some obvious community complaints that have stagnated, but once released it'll probably just be a case of 'finally, thanks, no love lost'.

In the end, Git by nature is decentralized, easily self hosted, and both GitLab and Phabricator provide interesting open-source environments. It's not exactly a one way street.

But maybe it was always going to be a tough market to corner? My prediction.. more posts on HN describing migration to a different system and how it solved everything.. and then the followup 12-24 months later. Oh well.

The statistic might be stupid, but it does a marvellous job of illustrating immense inequality in wealth distribution, something which is both factual and important. Would you not agree?
China being absent from the tpp is not an oversight.
One of the points behind tpp is to have a trade agreement against china (without being overt about it). It somewhat reduces china ability to increase influence in the markets of countries around it.

Glassdoor removes negative reviews if you advertise with them. Also if you know the right people who work there (source: my current bosses friend from college works there, and he was bragging to me about how he got them to pull all our negative reviews. One of which I wrote).
In Canada, this might actually be fully legal to do, if you decided to make it a political demonstration, and did it on the steps of the Legislature of your province of choice.

The upcoming Pyra Handheld is addressing some of these issues. It runs Desktop Linux by default, and can connect to an HDMI display to benefit from larger screens. At the same time, you should be able to boot ANdroid on it if you prefer an OS made for a small form factor. All in a single device equipped with a keyboard. It's certainly not perfect, but it's getting close to what I want to do when I am on the move.

Disclaimer: I work for SUSE, specifically on Docker and other container technologies.

Docker containers /in principle/ do work with systemd. They are implemented as transient units when you use --exec-opt native.cgroupdriver=systemd (in your daemon's cmdline). I've been working on getting this support much better (in runC and therefore in Docker), however systemd just has bad support for many of the new cgroups when creating transient units.

So really, Docker has systemd support. Systemd doesn't have decent support for all of the cgroup knobs that libcontainer needs (not to mention that systemd has no support for namespaces). I'd recommend pushing systemd to improve their transient unit knobs.

But I'd rather like to know why the standard cgroupfs driver doesn't fulfil your needs? The main issues we've had with systemd was that it seems to have a mind of it's own (it randomly swaps cgroups and has its own ideas about how things should be run).

It totally depends on the scope of your project, IMO. If you are a one man team making a small indie game, then it probably makes the most sense just to use a simple file system with the naming convention you suggest. The reason I would avoid such a thing in a bigger project is that inevitably such a system will break or become complex if it is not managed by a machine (even I, as a one man team, have hit this problem and I had to go in and rename hundreds of files for a simple change). A simple analogy is an SQL database - you could depend on naming stuff precisely by certain key values to make sense of it, but it becomes more powerful if you provide it with some simple data for each entry and let the computer make sense of it (select all objects with tag "static" and "rock" and "desert" for example). A given convention will force organization inherently. Every time you need to update an object you simply look it up in the editor/engine and reload it from a file you select.
I personally don't care for the site, but when I do use it, it is to learn more about people before contacting them to avoid wasting time. For instance, reading an article that quotes someone, and then finding out if they're still doing work in that area and what their contact information is to see if they're interested in collaborating. Or figuring out which geographical regions some company was doing a project in if I was interested in learning more... people usually like talking about their interests after all.

Also good for finding well respected people in my field, figuring out from that which companies are doing good work there, and keeping tabs on the companies so that I have a clue what the more global picture is outside of my immediate circles.

I do not work in programming though.

This is hilarious and I am going to have to steal it! XD
Funny you should say that. I agree with some aspects of your complaint. But I place the blame on trendy tech companies and wonder why we don't see more investment/activity from tech firms here. Oil has been what makes money in AK for the last 35 years, We're not going to change overnight. There are attractive things for tech startups here. In Anchorage I have a gigabit home internet connection. I'm Sr. Programmer, I've been in the industry for 10 years, have a CS degree and I only make $70k per year. In other words we have a supply glut for programmers in Anchorage. I could make more in Cali, I'd have to leave my california illegal guns with my family first. I could also forget about hunting and fishing with my dad every weekend. I bet the the best backcountry snowboarding in california is a far cry from what I have an hour from my house. The real issue is I derive value from what I can do in my time off here that I can't do anywhere else in the world. There is talent up here that can be tapped for pennies on the dollar when compared to NY or SF. I'm sure there is even more talent who would like to move here because it's friggen awesome[1].

I wonder why we don't see more startup activity here, where you can actually operate a business and hire good people for less than six figures. Meanwhile the employees can rent apartments or even buy houses and have a mortgate with a 10 min bike commute to the office for around 1k per month.

Sure seems silly seeing all those people pay out the ass for an apartment to commute two hours to an office the startup can barely afford with no parking. You would think a bunch of software engineers would be able to solve a simple network optimization problem by pushing resources to the edge of the graph but it seems like an office in a trendy location and insane taxes and rent is more important than a sustainable operating budget with work life balance. But of course us Alaskan's are the dumb ones.

Correct, layers were hashed for verification at upload and download, then stored on a "regular" uuid-addressed storage. Now they are stored in a true content-addressed store end-to-end.
For my team's (~20 people) uses, Github (and the tools we and others develop ontop of it) meets our needs amazingly well and literally would be 100% worth the price at 10X the cost.

I don't think the fact that others have built tools on top of github means that github is lacking features, in the same way that the existence of github doesn't mean that git is lacking features.

On the other hand, seemingly ignoring your adoring fans asking for small changes is a bad move.

It's not deprecated anymore. It's been removed. People have been using the native driver (libcontainer) for 2 years. LXC was deprecated in 1.8 and the code was completely removed in 1.10.
