Just to nitpick sonar is really complex hearing not sight.

I suspect it is not possible to evolve to detect X-Rays given the basic building blocks life has to work with, but yes your general idea is right. Vision has evolved independently at least half a dozen times because of this selection pressure.

installing them natively is clunky, they are managed in all different ways depending on how you install them. They need to started and stopped manually. You also are turning your machine into a "snowflake" with unique combinations of os and service versions.

With docker, you can make a dockerfile for your project and make it painless and consistent to run anywhere. You can also create a docker-compose file if you need other services like redis. It really is the holy-grail once it clicks.
You're still running a VM with this, just via xhyve and the OSX Hypervisor framework, rather than via Virtualbox or VMWare.

Which actually makes me wonder how they're managing memory for the VM hosting Docker here. Are they specifying a set fixed allocation? Is memory usage configurable somewhere?
The rest of the web is open and patchable (user scripts, curl, ...) and thus lets you customize things.

Author here. I was using that prior to getting in the beta. Tremendous work went into that driver, so I'm happy to see the techniques get picked up elsewhere.
Funny, it's been quite a few years, but I remember being a Nielson family for a few months, and it was absolutely opt-in. We had to fill out a little booklet with what we were watching and data about ourselves.
Did it print a warning when upgrading on terminal?

They could have a prompt with a countdown, you opt in it you don't say 'no' after a minute.
I don't know what an accounting post-modernist is, but I do know that a consistent approach to keeping the books makes it possible to evaluate the positions of companies meaningfuly.

Companies as varied as Bank of America, Groupon, and Kinder Morgan all find creative and fascinating ways to assert that their bullshit financial metrics are more meaningful than GAAP.

Generally speaking, companies that aren't a shitshow and are actually making money don't bother cooking up new accounting schemes. Their CFOs focus on counting the profits, not heating air.
"Do you mind" would be counterintuitive. I see analytics and want to respond "n", for no analytics

That's why it's a beta.
As I wrote we’d be very grateful if you had any suggestion.
I bet China does it first. The opportunity to control the population by putting everyone on the take is very attractive to power structures.

Also it furthers the long-term social engineering regarding "if the gov does it (theft in this case) then it's OK".

My point was that I would start by test driving to "dust off the cobwebs", as it were.

Personally, I don't actually believe in truly "mindless", trial and error TDD, as oftentimes it will miss the forest for the trees.

Amusingly now, three days later, I'm certain I could do this nonsense on a whiteboard now, as thinking about it three days ago seems to have primed my subconscious to dig it up.
You can't opt in to Nielson because they choose who to give the boxes to. Of course it's optional to do it if they do ask you if you want a box.

I've seen surprising pushback from non-technical managers over tree-structured information -- we're talking something as simple as a three-level nested markdown document. They'll say things like 'I can half understand it but my boss won't make the effort'.

If you think about how much energy your brain takes to unpack paragraph text into information, tree-structure should be clearer because visual boundaries correspond to topic / semantic boundaries, i.e. the brain can offload some parsing to the highly-evolved retina.

I don't have a good explanation for the preference for paragraph format in docs.
This seems to have potentially important implications for people who fly across the country the night before a big presentation. Maybe they should be leaving 24 hours earlier.
I'll second that book. It's an excellent read, covering his rise from almost nothing to oil monopolist, and everything in-between (eg there are fascinating parts in there about Standard Oil's collision with the first Russian oil gushers, which significantly threatened Standard's international expansion).
Have we seen the last of the All Writs Act in the encryption fight?
The interesting bit here is that in this scenario Docker creates and runs an actual VM, not so much a "container"?

Whoa! When did OS X add the The Hypervisor Framework? This looks really promising; I need to check this out.
There are still some rough edges, crashes when you resume from sleep (fixed in the latest update I might add), things like that. It's pretty close to an open beta in my opinion.
OK, my bad. For some reason I thought this was more tightly integrated, akin to being native containers.
Young people who are middle- and upper-class have the mom and dad safety net. That's often why they can afford the kind of passion project you're talking about. It would be very interesting to see what people of other ages and classes could come up with, given the chance. I bet it wouldn't all be indie games.
Not quite configurable yet, but it appears that's the intention. (I wouldn't be surprised if they'll try to make that a bit more dynamic, if the hypervisor framework allows it.)

The reason we are keeping the beta private is because we don't believe the quality is good enough yet to "open the floodgates". We are sending as many invites as the engineers are comfortable with - currently that's several thousands per day. As we hit more and more edge cases (performance, stability, support for unusual configurations...) we are expanding the pool as fast as we can.
Comparing Bitcoin to startups invented on the Web isn't the right comparison. The Internet is a better comparison for the Bitcoin network.

Right now, if it's an email to a prospect, Joy will ask you if you want it handles this contact. If you say yes, Joy will contact this prospect until it receive a response. Each time with a different and a suitable message.

We are currently working to allow Joy to learn your workflow. For example, it will learn that after the first e-mail you send a particular deck then this kind of email then this link. When the workflow is learned, it can manage alone.
Not necessarily, if I allocate 8GB to a VM, my systems still runs smoothly even when I'm already using 10GB (I have 16GB).
One problem is that the VM won't clean up the RAM properly but the swap can handle that quite nicely actually. And I never utilize 16GB of ram, 8 would be more then enough for me and ram is really cheap these days (even on macs).
Most things having to do with encryption are usually restricted. Strong cryptography has export restrictions so that could be an issue.
Author here.

I'm deep in the weeds with Docker, LXC, containers, hypervisors all the time. Content about those layers very few people care about... These are tools that are supposed to mostly stay out of the way after all.

Interest in Docker packaging their app as a nice mac app, and people understanding how the install process works is not a problem, it's a sign that these tools are finally becoming digestable by all.

What's the technical error?
I've noticed some pretty extreme performance penalties with Docker for Mac. Wherein VirtualBox would spin <60% CPU idling a bunch of services (MySQL, RabbitMQ, Redis, Elasticsearch, Memcached, several Python daemons) - Docker for Mac's driver hovers around 100% (spiking often to 200/300%) with another 20-30% (spiking to 50-80%) on the osxfs.

I'm going to guess it'll get better in time. It would be nice to get some insight into just what is burning CPU cycles. The experience besides that was really top notch IMO.
I would love to buy a car with only FOSS software or at least source available software available inside. In the long run, I think it would be much safer than the status quo and with everything becoming computer-driven.

I've thought about doing something like this with my center nav, but it deals with setting the time on the mirror among other things. Still, I can't get updated maps without paying the dealer a few hundred dollars to put a cd in it. I end up just using openStreetMaps on my rooted phone. This is a sad state of things. It feels like a feature-phone. Hopefully the future is brighter.

> Should I focus on one language and become really good at it or work in multiple languages and stay mediocre?

Both.

Master one, but learn enough to be able get around with the others. Also, learn the language, not just the tools or the new and shiny things. Tools and frameworks come and go, but the language itself will always progress.

> I feel like I am not doing much designing and not really learning a lot.

Work-related code, especially the monolithic, enterprise-y variants, isn't the best place to try something new. Try contributing to open-source projects. They're always in need of additional hands and move relatively fast enough that new stuff comes out regularly.
They definitely stated that gitlab.com was running on one single server (plus a spare):

https://about.gitlab.com/2015/01/03/the-hardware-that-powers...
https://about.gitlab.com/2015/03/09/moving-all-your-data/

It looks like this is no longer the case:

https://about.gitlab.com/2015/06/04/gitlab-dot-com-outage-on...

I haven't been able to determine if they're still storing the git repositories on NFS:

https://about.gitlab.com/2015/09/01/gitlab-dot-com-outage-on...

but if that's the case, I would be extremely nervous about the integrity and stability of their platform. I've had too many bad experiences with NFS mounts failing and general instability that I don't want to deploy it anymore.
So it uses xhyve...does this mean Docker runs up a full hypervisor per Docker process you run? That seems a bit excessive.
If you want to run services in docker containers with Docker Toolbox (e.g. a mysql db), and you want the db stored on the Mac host, then you have to worry about 2 layers of folder mounts (one from host -> vm, one from vm -> container), another 2 layers of port forwarding (same as above), to make it 'feel' like your're running mysql locally.

With the beta, all of that is taken care for you with a couple of settings, and it's just much simpler to get up and running.
Beta means "feature complete" not "wait a month/win a lottery to get a chance at using the bits."
Out of curiosity, would the homebrew maintainers be open to replacing google analytics with an open source setup if the infrastructure was sponsored?
"We use the information we collect from all of our services to provide, maintain, protect and improve them, to develop new ones, and to protect Google and our users. We also use this information to offer you tailored content – like giving you more relevant search results and ads."

"When you visit a website that uses our advertising products (like AdSense), social products (like the +1 button) or analytics tools (Google Analytics), your web browser automatically sends certain information to Google...

You make a good point, however I'd like to point out that explaining how money is created through the federal reserve system is no less complicated to the average person.

They don't need to understand it, only trust it.
gnu is in many ways wonderful but documentation is not one of the ways. gnu's two docs challenges are (1) document the command-line flags for users and (2) document the code for contributing devs. I've never faced case 2 but wading through man pages for case 1 is less than awesome.

I agree that docs should answer the user's typical questions but gnu docs seldom do. Can you imagine trying to figure out gnu tar from the man page? You never would.

Doesn't help that search engines starting with G view queries like 'tail -f' as stopwords.
Exactly. Bitcoin is shit, but let me know when I can anonymously purchase an offshore VPS with anything else.

I don't think Bitcoin is going anywhere, but it will perhaps regress to a niche and often illegal market. Alternatively, black markets are very volatile anyway, so moving to a better anonymous currency could happen if a worthy competitor steps up.
Well! Those seem like valid reasons for marijuana prohibition. Sorry to question the status quo!
>The question is, does the world need more indie mobile game developers?

What's wrong with having more artists, be it indie developers or semi-pro bands or hobbyist sculptors, if we can, as a society, afford it?
I appreciate this but in that case you should collect configuration data as part of requesting the bits. If I'm on a machine that's known borked, I'll wait. If not, gimme and I'll help you fix. Otherwise it feels like you're just using this as a marketing trick to build buzz.

I am in the same boat.

Which book?
It's also not what Chomsky said. It's been a few years since I read Manufacturing Consent, but as I recall the central theory is that the media is incentivized to paint a positive picture of the government to maintain access. Bitwize asserts a stronger proposition: that what people believe is manufactured by the government. Chomsky doesn't go that far.
>The prison-industrial complex will not allow falling incarceration rates to eat into its profits - too many executive bonuses depend just the opposite.

We need to get away from thinking this is some kind of conspiracy. The drug war exists because the public is unwilling to entertain alternatives, and to the extent it's misguided, it's a misguided attempt to deal with real problems.

Certainly there are companies and individuals making money by building and staffing prisons, but without public support the system would not exist as currently constituted.

In my state you don't go to jail for simple possession. People who end up in the slammer on drug charges are there either because they were dealing, or because the drug charges were coupled with other criminal behavior. To get locked up for possession of even "hard" drugs you have to be arrested multiple times and have a history of the sorts of crimes associated with junkies.

I'm curious what people who want to "end the drug war" are proposing we do with a meth head on serial burglary spree in an effort to support his habit. Because he's not going to stop breaking into houses no matter what you do with the drug laws.
Really? It seems politicians want to increase "oversight" and stop scary-sounding, misunderstood, tech like HFT. Seems like the SEC is the place to do that.
Yes, Nix works on Mac OS X. (I packaged X11/XQuartz, MacVim, and a few other things for OS X)
That's not the case - there's only one virtual machine shared by all containers.
Yes, that's what the world needs. More ruthlessness...
Your arguments are ridiculous. Humans judge; we're good at it. Burn us enough times with false promises of privacy or outright lies and yes, we will learn to become very skeptical and untrusting. You're asking people to continue trusting a system that has proven to be working against users' best interests for a long time.

The data is not sufficiently anonymized. Your public IP address is sent to Google and--the burden of proof is on Google to prove this doesn't happen--there is nothing stopping Google from comparing that data to other requests they get from the same IP address (say, from your browser). Maybe Google can't personally identify me from this data, but they can sure target me with ads, which--shock--make them money.
when you have 15 of those things start to make sense. I used vagrant in school just so that I wouldn't have any lasting tweaks of db's and weird things you end up doing. Also, with a provisioning script, I can get my projects running to this day. My snobol, smalltalk and scheme projects all can be run by just running vagrant up. I don't have to make sure that my current machine has all of the dependencies.

When we developed an angular and java site, I set up vagrant to configure tomcat, node, java, and all of the plugins required to get tomcat and maven to be nice together. Did it once, and then everyone else with a unixy platform were able to not spend time on dealing with that. Now that the class is over, all of that is removed from my machine but I can always just crank it back up in the time it takes to install all of those dependencies.
Little known fact: The Germans in the BMW marketing department at first wanted to name the new "ReachNow" service in Seattle "ReachAround".
Even boot2docker (docker machines predecessor) could do that. It shared the folders correctly and managed port forwarding. Of course localhost stop working but I just added the ip in /etc/hosts and enter docker.local instead (the docks say the IP might change but that's never happened to me).
The most common abuse of GAAP isn't Extreme events - it's companies excluding some kind of common event every year. This happened at a company I used to work for: for 4 years out of 5 there was a "one-time-only" exceptional cost taken out of earnings. After a while it got silly.

This isn't extreme good fortune, which would appear in both numbers.

It is futile to predict the future. GAAP is just there to try and make it easier to interpret the past, by applying some rules to compare companies against each other.
> In theory I would imagine you need less waste liners than shopping bags.

Fair point, I do accumulate plastic bags, and I offset by switching to paper bags (which we use for accumulating small recyclable items). You can also use them for other purposes (lunch bags, etc).

> I think people might prefer the specifically designed waste liners

You are probably right. I think I am an edge case, but I like the affordance provided by the grocery bag handles, and they make it easier to tie the bag up once you are ready to throw it away.

> Money has gotta come from somewhere.

Well yes and no. The issues are complex and my economic schooling is woefully limited (merely Bachelor's level), but I recall the idea of a money multiplier [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Money_multiplier] derived by MPC (Marginal Propensity to Consume) and MPS (Marginal Propensity to Save).

Take the following relatively contrived example. You insert a $1 into a vending machine and get a soda. The vending machine company takes that dollar and uses some to pay the soda company to replace the soda. The soda company uses the money to pay it's factory workers to make more soda. The factory workers use that money to buy other goods.

So you can see that on a whole, the $1 dollar you chose to spend actually had an impact on the economy of more than a dollar.

You can also see that depending on each what the "leakage" is at every level (or how much each entity, vending company, soda company, etc. choose to save instead of pass on) can drastically reduce the money multiplier effect leading to undesirable market outcomes (such as stagflation).

Perhaps this professor does a better job illustrating: http://aces.nmsu.edu/pubs/_z/Z108.pdf

Bottom line (I think is), empowering the impoverished to be able to consume should drive market growth. So the initial investment of a basic income should pay for itself many times over.

Anyway there is more to this obviously, and this same interaction has implications regarding income-inequality, but I'll just leave this here as FFT.
Sure but that rules out most kinds of ads. Even contracting directly with clients to show their ads, the client is often going to want to run the ads through a third party server so they can easily track all the different campaign they're running and check that the publisher is providing as many impressions as promised.

I think basically you'd end up with a lot of sponsored content and "Brought to you by..." type sponsorships interwoven in the site so they cannot easily be blocked.

First of all, this article is an example of one whose first 80% could be cut. So many writers on the Web take so long to get to the point. I wish that they had learned the Inverted Pyramid style, which has been a tradition of newspapers.

> GAAP rules state that anything paid above "book value" for the company must be called "good will" and be depreciated.

Goodwill is not subject to amortization since 2001 (depreciation is the term for tangible assets, amortization for intangible assets). It has to be tested for impairment, though. For example, HP bought Autonomy for $11.1bn in 2011 and took an impairment charge of $8.8bn in 2012 (the goodwill and a good chunk of the book value as well).
Pick a language, any language, announce you are going to learn this language to accomplish X task. Guaranteed you will find a huge number of dissenting and confusing opinions as to why your language sucks for task X and you really should use language Y, where Y is a member of the set of every other language.

Stick with a language you find fun and useful. If that changes, well just pick up a new language, it is better to be doing and making mistakes and learning, rather than trying to find the perfect language for you - there is no such beast.
