I used Arch for 8 months sometime in 2010. And I switched my main computer to Arch just yesterday, just to give it a shot, to see a different approach, to use a systemd-based system, to re-learn some stuff, etc etc. Basically to experiment.

IMO Slackware is definitely easier to install, more reasonable defaults, less fiddling with the system post-install. For me it's basically aiming slapt-src (something like yaourt) to https://slackbuilds.org/ (something like AUR, but the scripts are reviewed and tested by site admins) and letting stuff compile & install (with a _lot_ less interaction required than AUR stuff).

Wait for a 14.2 to be released and then give it a shot. See the readme files and http://docs.slackware.com/. I hope you like it.
How we decide what to build next
Huh? Then you must not understand what you are talking about very well. Are you talking about running BGP to ToR switches? What does that have to do with ECMP or load balancers? Its just an L3 design and its not new.
Why is it "shitty as hell?" He was two weeks away from owning what is probably a significant piece of equity and basically said he's looking for another job. Just as you said the founders would be violating their fiduciary responsibility to the company by not shit-canning him.
It was my very first one, Slackware 2 with kernel 1.0.9.

I still remember the main feature being announced was the early support for elf format.

Nowadays after a decade of jumping between OSes, I just settled on Windows, for better or worse, it does better what I need for my work (please don't start a flame war on this).

However I do owe a lot to Slackware, as before it my only access to UNIX were expensive Xenix, Aix and DG/UX workstations at the university.

I wonder how accurate it really is. The demo video didn't match up with the movements at all and the on-screen drawings looked like prerecorded video that they were trying to sync to.

It's a neat idea, but without a dedicated component or an extremely high-speed RTOS, you're not going to come close to the level accuracy that's really needed to do the math and still allow interaction.

I don't mean to rain on the parade, but I just don't think they really have anything usable.
Thank you! Can you also link the second podcast?

I would wager that there was a version of this city, more recent than 1258 that the residents were happy with.
Having listened to some history (some who don't like him would say pseudo-history) lectures by Dan Carlin on the whole Mongol thing, my takeaway was that the reason for all the murder is the classic dehumanisation approach.

Mongols did not consider the people they conquered to be far above cattle. When they took over cities they staged systematic executions where they would literally corral a hundred thousand people together, and have a thousand of their soldiers armed with axes be told "go collect 100 right ears to prove that you've killed your quota of people". As far as I can tell the way to get humans to do that to other humans seems, throughout history, to be to convince the murderers that the people they're killing aren't really human, they're just some sort of weaker other-species.

That's a false dichotomy if I ever saw one, and I dislike using that phrase.

The other option is if there is in fact a skills shortage, we encourage our businesses to train people already in the country first. Our education system is excellent contrary to popular belief and we have plenty of unemployed and underemployed people that have demonstrated their ability to learn new skills so why not go to them first?

Instead the path right now is some very unknown foreign college -> non competitive masters program (USC, UTDallas, UFla are common) for an F1 visa -> employee hires on OPT for 3 years of "training" -> apply for H-1B for the ones that show any promise.

So we are optimizing a system that takes students from education systems that consistently rank at the bottom globally, put them in mediocre masters programs for 2 years, train them for 3 years and we finally have something usable? Please.
I'll say this, a service like this is great from the network effect alone. While I might not think it's secure, it'll allow me to set up a traditional email-client+gpg and send encrypted email to people. And it'll provide a way for people to migrate to secure email, at a later point.

Much like I could for a brief moment actually talk to people over XMPP until Facebook and Google cut off the limited support they had for it. Most of those I talked to used the horrible web interface of Facebook/Google talk -- but I could use something that made sense. And I could even talk securely to some people on Facebook, as OTR worked fine over Facebook XMPP chat (while obviously breaking the web interface).

I actually am very experienced with Puppet, and I agree configuration management tools still have a (now narrower) space.

But most of your concerns are actually handled by what we are doing at Red Hat. OpenShift v3:

* applies SELinux policies to each running container

* can handle multiple styles of container upgrades (rolling, green/blue, canary, etc)

* includes an automated build process for automatically patching all of your containers when there is an update to their base image (including supported releases of RHEL containers that are kept up to date with errata)

* automatically reconfigures iptables as containers go up/dowm/migrate

* collects metrics on all running containers

* health checks for running containers to ensure they are not zombies

Since it is built on top of Kubernetes, the only configuration that you need to apply/maintain is the pod description, a short json document that describes what to run, what ports to expose, etc.
I recently switched to OS X from a decade of Linux on cheap notebooks. I've enjoyed the Mac as a luxury, and have even enjoyed the apps; but this will probably be the last one, and for similar reasons.
as we totally accept two-element lists here as well as two-tuples.

This is a little a symptom of lack of overloading (and lack of static typing therefore), but should be not hard to solve buy disjunctive hints like this one: [a]|(a,b) (and in case of Python, looks like Union[] would do?).

The URL case is also pretty much the same and for example in Java you would have to write a different method signature for each such case and that would be natural. Again, disjunctive hints would solve this.

Given that, I do not know what is the complaint really here. Perhaps that syntax is horrible, or it is hard to know what are the actual types in Python?
Domain costs, now a day I use github pages for hosting so I usually don't have to pay for hosting the domain. A subscription for Photoshop. Sometimes I pay for other software. Might have to start paying for IntelliJ soon.
You made me remember a extremely interesting article about Guild Wars team... they were annoyed with the amount of weird bug reports, and one of their programmers found out how to make the game self-analyze its data, and find if it was RAM hardware issue, he found out that about 1% of all their players had computers with faulty RAM, and a good amount of bug reports came from these computers, and that this program saved them a lot of money (since now they didn't needed to make devs chase "ghost" bugs, only actually real bugs).

I'm currently spending about £50 on server costs and an average of £200 on advertising, which will end soon as I'm switching to other methods.

I also spend money on designers and developers. Even for a side project, there are places I don't have time / skills to go to :) and I rely on external -paid- help.
Usually better off just running Google cloud SQL, because for many workloads the benefits of hosted FT outweigh the gains of Postgres over MySQL.

Nginx, Apache Prefork, Apache MPM, and PHP FPM all have multiple processes, and I would NEVER try to split up subprocesses of any of these into multiple containers.

It's quite simple if something communicates through shared memory, it should probably be in the same container. If it doesn't then that's NOT a reason to keep it in the the same container, but I don't see how it justifies the work of splitting it up....
There definitely are terrorists. We spend a lot of money every year perpetuating wars to ensure that there will always be people willing to commit acts of terrorism against our country.
For your second objection by "efficient algorithm", I meant an algorithm that is practically efficient on very large problems. That probably means no worse than O(N^2), but preferably more like O( N*log(N) ).

For your first objection I think a modified form of AIXI probably already solves most of the "non-optimization" challenges of AI. By modified form, I basically mean replace minimum size Turing Machines with minimum size boolean circuits to transform an uncomputable problem into one that is computable and that would be tractable given the scenario we are discussing. In other words you would essentially be doing reinforcement learning by searching for small boolean circuits which maximize the objective function.

Of course there is the rather important matter of defining the objective function itself, which P=NP may not directly help much with. I think that with a sufficiently powerful optimization algorithm you will get (super-)intelligent behavior almost no matter what the objective function (as Boscom has argued with his paper-clip scenario). The question would be more whether the intelligent behavior that arises is desirable for humans or not.

Even if you don't believe in my AIXI-like approach just look at what a highly suboptimal optimization algorithm like gradient ascent has done when applied to deep neural networks. If you can get superhuman go players and image recognizers with that, what would you get using a universal global optimizer ?

Finally we are talking about a scenario where mathematics is basically a solved problem (in the sense that you would have an automatic theorem prover that could prove any theorem you could state formally). If that world wouldn't lead quickly to general AI then there would have to be some mystery to intelligence that is literally deeper than mathematics itself, which is hard for me to believe.
Often it is even simpler than that. For encrypted e-mail using an e-mail client (such as Thunderbird with Enigmail) for addressees with known PGP-keys, hitting the 'encrypt' button and entering your passphrase is all that is needed once all is set up. Decrypting means you get prompted to enter your passphrase, and that's all there is to it.

But thank you for the valuable insight!
I agree. If people started viewing coding as an art instead of a strict science I think people would feel more comfortable doing something like this instead of a strict Test First or Test After.

Because you weren't supposed to see it there. Because it was never announced. Because it was never planned to be in there.

It might happen in the future, but as of now Slackware (and Gentoo) are those distros that don't have systemd. Some people might like it for that.
If the tech is great then wonderful, but I still remember LeapMotion...
These sorts of comments are why I come here. Thank you. Without prior awareness that something is common practice it can be extremely difficult to recognize it as an option. I simply lack the motivation for this behavior. If I were to release a teaser about my work it would be because I'm not ready to release my work.

No he means implicitly. By not providing everything the academic implicitly requests a conversation before providing everything. The request is never stated but is implied by the assumption that there is no other way to acquire everything.
[¡Hola desde Argentina!]

This is an English speaking forum, so the submissions in other languages are usually ignored or flagged, unless they are very interesting and have no equivalent in English. (And usually an English version gets more attention/upvotes/comments.)

I think this submission is on-topic, but there is a lot of material about the same subject in English, so I guess this submission will not be very lucky.

I recommend to write a version in your native language and another version in English to get more public. But I think you are preparing the material for a class, so this idea may not be applicable here.

> The only thing that matters to how software works for an end user is its boundary.

You're ignoring the fact that tests aren't only to validate "end user functionality". They're also there to make life easier for the developer; to make both initial development and maintenance easier.

If I need a custom sort algorithm for my product, I'm going to write unit tests for it's implementation. I'm also going write functional tests to make sure the end user is seeing things sorted. However, those tests serve different purposes.

The unit tests allow me to write clean, simple tests that show exactly what the implementation is supposed to be doing for different inputs. That allows me to change the implementation of the sorting algorithm later and worry less about breaking the functionality.

The functional tests are (generally) not going to be as clean and obvious, nor cover every possible partition of inputs that the implementation could get.
Working for free for 6 months? Where can I find workers like you? I'll take a pack of 5. Seriously.

That said, I am sorry you are going through this. I know what it is like to believe in something. It's human to have hope for the future, but don't do this again.

When you work for free, you are establishing that you don't value your time. If your time is worth nothing, well then they don't owe you anything and that is how they see it.
From the article:

I deliberately decided to experiment with test-first development a few months ago.

and

the programs I am writing are my own personal projects

If you have no real experience with TDD and you're hacking away at personal projects, I can see where you might not find TDD to be useful.

If you're experienced with it and working on a project that is going to be sizable and for use by others who might be paying to use it, TDD is indispensable.

I've seen a lot of fads come and go over the years. I've tried many of them out just to see how they fit my style of working. TDD is one of those paradigms that has withstood the test of time.

Much more important than code coverage and ability to make changes without breaking things as mentioned in the article, TDD forces you to think about your software components from the client perspective first. It's that discipline that I appreciate more than anything.

Certainly. Whoever makes that claim is ignorant of how science and scholarship is done.

I am not so ignorant, nor do I mean to imply that the converse or the inverse are true.
My standard test is "A machine learning to do machine learning." And it works here.
Read the email thread that inspired me to write it and it will become obvious. In the original email, a user asked if they should split an application that was almost exactly what I describe in the blog post, into multiple containers because you "should" only run one process per container. That is a ridiculous reason. That provides zero business value in and of it's self.

The two main business values I have found from splitting something up is 1. independent scaling and 2. independent development teams. Other than that most is preference and philosophy. You can get to the right answer for the wrong reasons, it doesn't mean you were right.... :-(

I rode in Google’s self-driving car. This is what impressed me the most
The question is, is the multisecond latency because of processing and code efficiency limitations for a academic research project, or is it because the data is unusable without two seconds of smoothing? Given what I see in the video I could argue either way. I do note the latent signal is still a bit noisy, but then, touch screen input isn't necessarily clean either.

But it's also worth keeping in mind this is all off-the-shelf hardware. It seems very likely to me that if a cell phone or smart watch was designed to do this from the get-go that several easy hardware improvements and maybe a bit of custom DSP work would make this work much better. (By "easy hardware improvements", I mean things like speakers intended to emit frequencies for sonar, microphone arrays intended to receive them, etc.) From that perspective, even if the system we saw is fundamentally limited I'd still call it incredibly promising considering the constraints it is operating under!

If I were a smart watch manufacturer I'd be falling over myself to get one of my best engineers and one of my best recruiters an appointment with these people.
What about a dockerized Postgres? https://hub.docker.com/_/postgres/
Perhaps you do not accept it, and have some rank around here. But I think it's accepted generally. Of course no one will admit as much.

I'm sure you're following these threads. They're filled with xenophobia. For example, in an article covering similar material currently on the front page, the top comment calls H1Bs "scabs", and it is unquestioned. Contrast this with when someone criticizes some feminist policy on these boards; they're called out pretty quickly. Being thought of as "sexist" is taboo in SV; being a "xenophobe" is just patriotic.

This is just one of many "communities" I frequent. HN is very self-righteous about the level of conversation and discourse here. For the most part, it's pretty good. But introduce the right topic, and you'll quickly realize that the people here can stoop pretty low.
I think the bias is exactly the reverse of what you're saying.

I expect a large part of those 50% still on Windows to be corporate devs, accessing StackOverflow during work hours on an OS they didn't necessarily have a say on. Many of them will be using OSX or Linux at home : if anything, the non-Windows figures could be underestimated.

BTW StackExchange is a Windows / .NET shop, not exactly prime suspects for Apple fanboyism.

My argument is, if two different processes are doing completely different things in the same JVM, I am skeptical that they will share memory pages well, etc. I simply don't know without testing, but I don't have any reason to believe they would.

On the other had, if I was running multiple threads that all cached data from the same data store, it is quite likely that scaling up threads in the same JVM would have a massive advantage over splitting them into multiple JVMs.

Also, in the comments I admit that over 10K applications on 1K machines, it's probably better 99% of the time not to use 10K JVMs. There would be a huge CPU/Memory overhead....
My friends and family have largely disowned me as a "Terrorist sympathiser" over this and other similar matters - convincing arguments based in fact and logic are nothing in the face of loud and blustery arguments - if it was said on TV, or by a politician, it must be true.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but the argument behind this piece seems to essentially be "ignorance is bliss and science is bad because it takes away the mystery"?

Alternative advice:
It's such a small team, and clearly money is tight, so hiring a lawyer is going to waste a lot of money and you will all be squabbling over scraps.
Instead consider pointing them to this post,and sit down with them to work out an outcome you can all live with. Don't be afraid to get less than your 'fair share' in order to get a deal done,but they should also know there is the credible threat of a lawyer. They just want you out of there, you just want a trailing stake - but they will stay and keep working, so they deserve much more.

However if the founders have gone feral and are not willing or able to be rational, then consider writing a formal letter insisting on your rights to the vast bulk of the stock owing to you and sign nothing they give you. This way if the company ends up doing well then you have more evidence that you can hand to a much more expensive lawyer.
