Straight from the horse's mouth--admire your product, Mr. Hykes!

I love how you can run docker inside of a container. What I've done sometimes is run docker inside my build environment container. I use Docker Machine (OSX), so I just send the same machine environmental variables over to the container, but on Linux you could just link the socket file. In fact, I have a container just for Google Cloud that maintains my GKE config and makes it easy for me to prepare new deployments to the cloud.

Most types of contracts do not need to be signed.
With Android Studio, Gradle, and Maven library management is easy now. You just include the dependency and compile.

Better to me than using a third party solution like carthage or cocoapods in the iOS world.
what docker build extensions would make it possible to do this without 'rolling your own' tarball docker layer? having access to volumes at build time?
What do the other half say?

(Honest question. I'm very interested in the question of the approachability of functional languages)

Kind of the same for us, in a first ring suburb of Minneapolis. Tried selling it two years back, had it on the market 5 months, not a single offer despite dropping the price $20k from our initial asking price. This year, put it on the market on a Thursday in middle of March, had an offer within 36 hours for our asking price, above what we ended up pricing it at before. It's pretty much like that all over the city.
I just started reading this book, maybe half way through, it's very interesting!

Some of the technical analogies are a little weak, but all the quotes and anecdotes are great.
She's rolling the dice a bit, but it was her best shot.

If she very strongly was in support of his prosecution, she'd be seen as very anti-free speech. If she blocked it entirely, Erdogan would be pissed off and probably stop blocking refugees for her.

Her goal here is that the courts decide to throw out the law entirely when it goes to trial (is that a thing in Germany? Can courts do that there?) or they give a tiny slap on the wrist. Then she can say to Erdogan "Well, we tried to stop him".

Worst case scenario here is that the comedian actually goes to jail. That would probably end Merkel's career.
Yes, that is a good idea. We are building out a list of criteria that we will use to evaluate sustainable products and services. Using those keywords we could potentially analyse existing data and use that as a first wave to find new products and services. A human expert would probably still be needed to vet the products before adding them to our Sure database.

We just have to be careful which sites or services we would crawl as we don’t want to infringe on anyones copyrights.
Following the rules laid out in a robots.txt file is optional. The reputable search engines tend to play by the rules but dodgy ones? Not so sure.
> When I used to live in downtown Miami there were high rises going up everywhere with prices starting at 500k-1mm. These same places would later be short sales for 150-250k after the GFC.

This sentence doesn't make any sense to me. The definition of a short is to sell something you dont' own with the explicit intention of buying it back later at a lower price.

How can you sell a condo you don't own? and then why plan on buying the condo back at a later date?

A lot of people are criticizing Guillory for waiting until the deal was announced to come forward. Whether or not this is true (it is disputed in the two opposing briefs), one can hardly fault him for not wanting to spend time, money, and effort litigating for half of a company that may or may not be worthless. I would wait for some evidence of success/value before deciding to invest my time/money into claiming my half of the pie.
There is already an ecosystem of packages for OS development even, and we statically know if you use the standard library or not. Many libraries that don't require it have an option to turn it off.

I understand your skepticism, but we care about this use case and are working to make it easy.

I mean, the main issue is that Germany even had a law allowing someone to be punished for this kind of speech. Merkel can't (or won't) let Erdogan get the chance to point out even the slightest hypocrisy when it comes to enforcing laws. If she gives him an inch by not enforcing this stupid one, he can make a mockery of the west when they say anything about the journalistic and civil rights abuses committed by his administration.

Not that they're doing even close to a good job of that right now.
> Con: you'll have to use vendor chargers.

The con (which is really a con) represents a restriction to your freedom of choice and, ultimately, the creation of a monopoly.

The pro, on the other hand, is irrelevant. If you wish to risk your gear connecting crap components to it, feel free to do so.

What I want is the ability to actually buy and use a component without being strong-armed by the manufacturer to comply with their price-gouging. If risking having to brick the product I bought with my own cash if I intentionally purchase crap chinese knock-offs then that is the price to pay, and a price that I'm willing to pay.

While what I wrote is the contrary to what you say, you are absolutely right, too (so you get an upvote).
But Merkel has her very own style of doing stuff, and in the current situation that she maneuvered herself into, her decision made some sense from her point of view.

I personally think heads of state that turn authoritarian should be offended much more often and harder. In this regard, Merkel's decision is absolutely the wrong signal.

Ask HN: Stop working as a co-founder of a successful business?
Hi HN,

Approximately 5 years ago I co-founded a business. (We operate in a northern European country; it's the equivalent of an LLC, both of us have a 50% share). I'm "the technical guy", my co-founder takes care of the other half of the work (sales, account management, general management & administration).

The business is fully bootstrapped; it's a B2B (SaaS) business in a nice market with paying customers; our turnover is approximately haf a million euros per year; growth is projected to be approximately 30% over the coming 3 - 5 years at least, at which point we'll reach saturation of the domestic market (but may still expand abroad). In other words: I think it's all pretty successful, and I'm quite proud on what we achieved.

At the same time, I want out. After 5 years of working on the same thing, I'm feeling it's time for me to move on. This is caused by a couple of things:

* I no longer find my work so interesting (rather: I find it boring). This is partially caused by the changing nature of the company (more bugfixes & maintenance than building), and partially by my own desire to make the next move in my career. In particular I'm looking for an environment where I'm surrounded by people that I can actually learn from. I also have a personal project in my head that I really want to devote some time to.

* Unsatisfying in particular is that I feel that most days are spent putting out fires, rather than constructively working on the things that are important in a concentrated manner.

* The constant stress of being responsible for the technical half of the company is taking its toll on me. I sometimes worry that I'm close to a burn out (and my girl friend tells me I should worry about this more, based on my behavior). Whenever I go on holiday (not often, and much more briefly than is common in my country) I feel that things are feeling to pieces in my absence (they often are).

Ah, ok, so it's akin to a racial slur. Thanks for that explanation -- it makes a little more sense now.

> Just like you wouldn't be offended by racial slurs not referring to your particular race.

Personally, I'm not offended by racial slurs referring to my race, but then I was born lucky (white, male), so I probably don't appreciate what it's like to be a minority...

... but is Erdogan from a minority?

(I must confess I know very little about Erdogan, but most of the media I read portray him as just a few inches short of a megalomaniacal dictator.)

EDIT: I find it interesting to contemplate Erdogan's reaction to this compared to the (hypothetical) way, say, Obama would have reacted to this. (Not a US-ian, just for the record.)
It took me 18 years to finally get the guts to move away from Thinkpads. I ordered the Chromebook Pixel LS and absolutely love it and sport it better than an Apple hipster in Bushwick! Only downside to me is that it lacks F11,F12 and the hdd is soldered in.

Not sure if anyone commented yet but Torvalds used a Macbook but I think since moved to some Sony VAIO if I'm not mistaken.
I am libertarian, and support UBI, though not necessarily via state taxation and administration. Pragmatically, though, that is how it would need to be instituted in the real world, even if it could possibly work differently in my personal libertarian fantasyland.

I'd say that a significant fraction of all libertarians don't want to admit that their fantasyland and the real world are so far apart that they will never meet in any living human's natural lifespan, and therefore resist any idea which would tend to empower government to a greater extent in the long run.

By my personal estimation, UBI is necessary to avoid the accelerating concentration of more economic power into fewer hands, until the common man again becomes a "useless eater" that must be disposed of for the sake of efficiency. I fear that without it, or something like it, class-based warfare is inevitable, and war is more damaging to liberty than the welfare state. Given the choice between backing a step away from the way I wish the world could work, and running ten steps in any direction in a blind panic, I choose the one controlled step.
If it is unjustifiable, it will go to the german high court and will be judged unconstitutional. Merkel does not need favours from Erdogan, Merkel needs to stand strong within her country (not that I am happy about that). She has said previously that she thinks it is an insult. If she had now reversed that thinking because of political thinking, that could have been far worse for her. And also for the turkish opposition since hindering the prosecution would have been best that can happen for turkish nationalists.
It also removes the stigma of welfare b/c everyone is getting the same thing regardless of income and status.
It's not a new law, and in response to this incident Merkel has said she wants to get rid of this law, so how is it getting worse?
You're thinking of the practice of shorting stocks, which is different than a short sale. From Wikipedia:

A short sale is a sale of real estate in which the net proceeds from selling the property will fall short of the debts secured by liens against the property. In this case, if all lien holders agree to accept less than the amount owed on the debt, a sale of the property can be accomplished.

It's always hard to believe the numbers, but I trust Redfin since I used them to purchase my home. I think the problem is comparing what's turn key and not. For example they say:

> Portland, OR had the nation’s highest price growth, rising 16.1% since last year to $325,000...

The problem is you're fighting 100's of people for that one house in Portland that is livable at $325,000. Most houses that cheap need a ton of work.

SF on the other hand is just seeing their ceiling come into play. Only so many people can justify raising a family and purchasing a home in The Bay. Why not change jobs to Seattle or Portland and make around the same money, but spend half on a house? I think that's what we're seeing.
I was a raid leader/main tank for the guild who got the first ever Nefarian kill. We announced on forums that he dropped a head quest similar to Onyxia that turns in at Stormwind and people started flooding our server with new humans, thousands of them. It was insanity. To no one's surprise turning in the quest crashed the server...
A young composer met mozart and said 'I want to write a symphony, where do I start?'. Mozart spins him a story about starting with short pieces, then apprenticing to a serious composer, mastering the different instruments and gradually working up to it.

The young composer is surprised. 'You didn't do all that'. 'Ah,' says mozart, 'but I didn't ask anybody how'.
True, I was assuming fixed rate.
No.

Courts do not prosecute people. They decide cases. The government (that is, the elected part) prosecutes people, at least in many cases. The prosecutor is either appointed by an elected official or elected directly. Therefore it is up to an elected official, either directly or indirectly, to decide whether or not to prosecute a case.

> Nix has some great ideas but when the install of emacs took 10 times as long as homebrew, then didn't work correctly it didn't leave me wanting to use it for anything work related like my docker images.

I understand it's not fun to watch a long build process finish only to have the final product not work, but that assessment is not really fair. Nix itself is not the problem there; the problem is in the definition of that package. The same thing could just as easily occur in a package defined in homebrew. Saying that nix itself is at fault when an individual package (among hundreds of thousands) is faulty is sort of akin to encountering a buggy program and equating it to a bug in the language the program was written in.

I'd also add that due to the closed-source nature of OSX core libraries, it's hard to achieve the same degree of robust determinism in OSX that nix allows in other platforms. Fortunately things tend to be very solid on Linux. My company has been using Nix in production for about a year now and it has been a huge benefit to platform stability and speed of deployment.

Startup aims to let you 'draw' your strategy and manage it visually
Exactly. This was a brilliant choice of action. And Merkel is blatantly telling the Turks how different things are handled in the EU. Without giving Erdogan (she needs him) grounds for feeling disrespected.

This is now out of the hands of government and will be settled in court. In an independent court that the government will not mess with.

That she emphasized the freedom of speech, freedeom of press and freedom of art several times in her speech is just the cherry on the cake.

Show HN: Put Dat – upload and share datasets
Fun things I discovered in just my last performance tuning engagement:

* Database with homegrown software load-balancer in front of it, and the database replicated to a half-dozen subscribers. Load balancing required database calls, and the subscribers had their LUNs on the same array as the main database. So 7 different servers, but all beating the same storage. In the end, we ended up with no load balancing (just the single instance).

* Application server with lots of agents (one on every workstation). Agents were checking in every 200ms, even if they had nothing to report. Result was lots of tiny database transactions (for logging no activity). Throttled that down to 10 seconds (product managers agreeing that was the more realistic threshold) and batching the updates, made the logging asynchronous, and saw the database transaction log no longer waiting on log writes constantly.

* Bad clustering keys for tables. Some tables that were being searched constantly as heaps. Sharded tables with divergent schemas. This was fun, as had to conform everything while it was live (got agreement on what was reasonable delay for synch jobs). Chose correct clustering keys, compressed the tables, and then got rid of other indexes that were no longer necessary. Cut IO by 99%, and writes were now just appends.

* Badly written queries using inadequate indexes on badly structured tables. TL;DR: An analysis process took 24 hours, and was tuned to take 4.5 hours. I spent a day on it to cut it down to an hour while I worked on other things. We then spent 2 weeks refactoring it to cut it down to about 8 minutes, despite the underlying data model being bleh. We also added ad-hoc functionality to do stuff out-of-band of the regular scheduled job, with an average response time of 6ms.

* ORM lazy loading by default, including for things that constantly retrieved collections. Rewrote them to be programmatically eager loaded and reduced database calls from millions a day to thousands a day.

* And a little bit of hardware. SAN HBA links were moved form dual 1Gbps to dual 10Gbps. Some SSDs added. Ended up reducing IO latency by 96-98%, depending on the server. Needed to happen, as IO latency was in hundreds of ms, and we were able to get it down to where it should be (< 10ms for reads, 1-3ms for writes).

Non-scaling SAAS stack went from falling on its face with an entire rack of hardware, to being cut down to 1/3rd of a rack of hardware and the hardware basically twiddling its thumbs. The organization was in the process of building of entirely new SAAS platform in a completely different tech stack -- they immediately started questioning that decision when the old stack handled everything trivially, and they knew there was a lot more tuning that still could be done.

I can't blame Microsoft much, when they've open-sourced Xamarin and are doing good things with .NET Core, plus they aren't the ones to blame.

The writing was on the wall ever since RoboVM was closed sourced, right before Xamarin bought them. I was one of the pessimists here. Basically any project that goes from open-source to close source is as good as dead, unless forked. And whenever you see such projects, you should run. Because the most interesting aspect of any open source project is its open source nature. And a bait and switch doesn't work so well.

That said, RoboVM was open-source before October 2015 and the most interesting aspect of open source is the ability to fork the project. A fork of RoboVM can still happen, the code from before October 2015 should still be there somewhere, I just hope the license is permissive enough. And if a fork doesn't happen, it only means that the project doesn't have enough interest and so it probably should wither away.
