Feynman thought they were everything that science should reject. It seems that knowledge used to be better before internet. (new math == Bourbaki)

One of the actual members is Pierre Barthelemy http://passeurdesciences.blog.lemonde.fr/pierre-barthelemy/ they seem to originate from ENS and elite school in France.

According to Pr Gleik they "engineered" math so that not another Poincaré would appear again. A french mathematician that based his reasoning to geometry at the dislike of yet another academy that thought talent should not despise the recognition earned by the experts. And Poincaré made clear he despised the formalism fanatics and the french school of math.

So they pushed what Feynman called an hyperverbose reformed version of math that would rather focus on being objectively "scientifically correctly expressed" by being able to manipulate formalism instead of having intuition that could ridiculed the best.

They said that Mandelbrot owe them a lot, and Mandelbrot just fled these people without really caring because he thought geometry was important and these people were kind of pedantic.

The message of bourbaki in one "lemma" is never draw.
A drawing is always a special case and no drawings of schema will ever lead you to build strong abstractions. Formalize everything.

It kinds of looks like modern computer science fights between the craftsmen vs the tools/language/frameworks/methodology fanatics.

And for an extended understanding of the mechanism of how Bourbaki's 'new math' and other amazing formalism makes it to the top of the educational offer in California a little light on still standard practices is necessary: it is all about the best choice possible

I completely agree with your description of prematurely setting in stone the interface between two subsystems (which could be modules/libraries or independent processes.) If a chunk of functionality is identified as a candidate for a microservice, making an otherwise isolated library in the existing codebase is by far my preferred first step.

It lets you live with the seam between the two systems for a while, adjust responsibilities and communication patterns cheaply as they reveal themselves as pain points, and delay or avoid paying whatever costs are associated with deploying a new microservice (which at my current company, at least, are non-zero.)

Outside of a few examples where we've identified a simple and truly orthogonal set of responsibilities up-front for a new microservice (e.g. image resizing, push notification delivery) I have always regretted prematurely building a new service instead of extracting it from an existing codebase.

There was discussion recently on HN about Henry George and his theories of a "single land tax":
https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11158398

Apparently, the board game Monopoly had its origins as an illustration of Georgism, and originally had two sets of rules:

From its inception, the Landlord’s Game aimed to seize on
the natural human instinct to compete. And, somewhat
surprisingly, Lizzie created two sets of rules: an anti-
monopolist set in which all were rewarded when wealth was
created, and a monopolist set in which the goal was to
create monopolies and crush opponents. Her vision was an
embrace of dualism and contained a contradiction within
itself, a tension trying to be resolved between opposing
philosophies. However, and of course unbeknownst to Lizzie
at the time, it was the monopolist rules that would later
capture the public’s imagination.

Many more details and links about the original game are here: http://landlordsgame.info/

He forgot to factor in the ~$250K cash downpayment to buy that $1MM mortgage. The opportunity cost on that over the next 30 years has to be added in. At 7% annual return (which you can get from Vanguard mutual funds) that 250K is worth almost $2MM in 30 years. Sure, rents will rise over time, but it's probably closer to a wash when you figure the insane downpayments you have to make.

<rant>I also object to menus that hide when scrolling up and show when scrolling down. I usually place the row I am reading at the top of the window to make it easier to follow visually. When I need to scroll back a little, the pesky menu comes out instead of the text. I think scroll up should be the exact inverse of scroll down, not a menu display trigger. Or, at least, offer us a few lines back scroll before showing the damn menu.

> I use debian:latest. I don't see a problem with that.

That's not the advice he was giving. He was talking about tagging the images you create. If you always use latest, you're not keeping a history of images in your registry that allows for easy rollbacks. Latest is an entirely appropriate tag to use so long as it's always a synonym for some other longer-lived tag.

> There are many reasons why it could be meaningful for a program to use more than one process.

There are, but there are people (like Phusion) that want to run lots of processes inside a container. That is, IMHO and that of the story author, a bad idea. I may be more lenient than the author, but I believe a single container should represent a single logical process, whether that makes to a single OS process or not. But when you have many distinct logical tasks, they should be separated into their own containers.

> Both are pretty much the same problem. If the attacker can read files containing credentials, he will also be able to read environment variables with them.

This is very, very wrong. Credentials stored inside the image are less flexible and stored in more places than credentials that are supplied as environment variables. Images are designed to be copied around easily and trying to add authorization to the copying process is never going to be particularly successful. In contrast, credentials supplied as environment variables only live on the machine that's running the container and are only visible to those with access to the machine.

> A network-based service uses a long-running listener to process requests. Why shut it down?

Because software is constantly changing. At my last job, we released many times per day. Trying to patch a running container is just a recipe for pain. It's much simpler to start new containers and kill the old ones. You can even do it without downtime if you've got a system to route to the correct container (something like a long-lived HAProxy process that watches etcd/consul for the container it should route to. More and more, the notion of a non-distributed system is becoming obsolete. And the one lesson I've learned about distributed systems is that state is what makes them hard and you have to be incredibly intentional about how you manage your state. This also means that any time you can avoid adding state, be it in code or infrastructure, you should avoid doing so. Ephemeral, immutable containers follow that philosophy.
This is pretty nice! It seems to need some work on mobile though: http://i.imgur.com/6DcJOxu.png
Referring to these as "rules" when they aren't is exactly what great-grandparent was warning against:

> […] will always end up being dogmatized and multiplying complexity needlessly.

If more than one process helps you get your job done, great. If it's all one self-contained application, go for it. You start feeling the pain when you have unrelated or loosely-coupled applications in the same container.
So here's the real bear of it, and the crux of my argument.

The delegate thing is an iOS thing. Android uses a totally different pattern. I mean, there are delegates, to be sure, but android loves their anonymous inner classes in many of those cases. (Which is closer to idiomatic js IMHO.)

So on a language level sure, easy peasy, you could delegate in javascript all day long (and you do). But on a platform level, nuh-uh. One is going left and the other is going right. How do you meet in the middle? What fine line gets scrubbed in between?

What? I don't know what you're referring to about Google, but I'm under the impression most of their stuff is based on optimization problems like power iteration, which have very little to do with human level AI.

I agree in a sense, but one thing to keep in mind is that all automation requires a large investment, especially in systems that cannot fail.

If the cost of that automation (programmers, testing, etc) is greater than the cost of training pilots, then pilots are going to remain.

Usually, there ends up being a middle ground - you automate the low-hanging fruit, and leave the last percentage points to the humans.
I like this app because it gets you writing. The problem most of the times is just start to write something. When I sit down to write, I have no idea where to begin with. This would definitely get me in the flow. Yes, I cannot write stuff that makes sense. But it gives me a way to get everything on my mind out and get me into the writing flow. I can then close this app and take that flow to write something more meaningful.

I also like what others have written using this tool and posted here. It is interesting how we tend to write in simple language when we have constraints. That's the it should be. Not the constraints, but the language. Use jargon or too complex words and most of the times you have lost me as a reader. So, in a way, this app really helps you in writing the way you usually think or speak.

I think we can use this app to write proper stuff too. If we set it to 1 min, we can write much better stuff using this tool. Also, it would be great to have the functionality of not having the choice to delete what we have typed. Probably remove the backspace, delete and arrow-keys. I figure that I spend most of the time hitting backspace and deleting sentences. If I don't like the way I start a sentence, I should only be allowed to hit full-stop and start the new line and edit those things later.

I hit backspace many times when writing this post. It considers backspace also writing something. Another option would be to just not count backspace/delete/arrow keys as typing something.

This was really fun writing the whole thing set to 5 sec timer. I didn't know I could write so much without a 5 second gap.
Pinterest also didn't enact that until they reached a multi-billion $ valuation and hundreds of employees. They did it when they already knew they could handle turnover. Earlier stage companies might need longer.

But then it's hard to set a definite timeframe. What you want is to incentivize sticking together as an effective team to reach a point of maturity, to maximize the chances of getting there and thus the options being worth anything. It's probably more about size and valuation. That's what was nice about effectively tying it to IPOs (when IPOs happened earlier). Going public was a decision that the board made when they company was "ready".

Damn, the anxiety in your writing was palpable. I'm gonna have to give this bad boy a go. There's an exercise I do where I pick a topic and try to come up with one hundred relevant points about it, without stop til it is done.

I would imagine the earliest forms of life (proto-life if we use cellular structure in the definition of life) were free-floating strands of genetic material, more similar to viruses than to fully formed cells.

As I said in my main comment, I love this app. I'll be using this quite often from now. A suggestion would be to not consider backspace/delete/arrow keys as typing something? Because I feel that I spend lot of time hitting backspace to correct thing which interrupts the flow.

Thank you for this.

Edit: My bad. It does not consider deleting characters as typing. Apparently, I wasn't hitting backspace for that long. Funny how it feels like 5 secs is like 2 seconds when you are set time constraints.
