All those one offs sound like technical debt that businesses are borrowing on. For example:

-- environmental disasters are the result of under investment in preventing environmental disasters.

-- security breaches are the result of under investment in security.

-- restructuring is the result of under investment in continually adapting the organization to a changing reality

-- layoffs are often the result of under investment in hiring to make sure you don't hire bad performers and under investment in cleaning out poor performers continuously. The only layoffs that aren't like technical debt are those caused by external forces like a recession.

There is nothing wrong with under investing over time and then paying the piper when the time comes, but any one off expense that could have been prevented if things had been managed differently should not be excludable.

The litmus test should be along the lines of asking, "Is this cost our fault?"...

Technical writing traditions are mostly evidence-free bullshit that focusses on appearances at the expense of usefulness.

I usually find "official" technical docs very hard to read - much harder to follow and less useful than a typical how-to book.

Writing is not code. Human elements like humour and story-telling make technical content much easier to understand and learn.

And "topic centric" should be something that comes out of testing. User testing should note the most common user taskflows empirically, and write those up in the docs.
What's amusing about the book is Chernow would sum up each chapter with the popular narrative of how awful Rockefeller was, yet the facts presented in that chapter told another story.

Bitcoin was set up from day one to act as cryptographic gold mining. As such, it attracted a overlapping crowd of goldbugs and cypherpunks. Hilariously while both are highly anti-establishment prone, what seems to have adopted the tech with gutso is Wall Street. And you can't really get more "establishment" than that...

Question: Is this compatible with OS X 10.9.x or earlier? Or is it only for the latest pieces of shit that are 10.10/10.11?

edit thanks for the correction netheril96!

I'm curious about the state of compatibility because I've drawn a line in the sand -- and refuse to upgrade from 10.9 (since many things seem to be getting only worse and less stable in MAC OS land :).

Is it? If you use the Microsoft provided media creation tool for Windows 10, it will automatically pick up OEM BIOS keys (including from earlier versions of Windows) and install the appropriately licensed version.

I did it last week on a laptop that I put in a new SSD in and hasn't had a Windows install in over a year (but came with Windows 8 installed when I bought it). I really don't think Microsoft would go out of their way to make this possible if it was against their terms.
I'm sure there are older precedents, but the first thing I read about this concept was from this article from 2015, in which a team applied together to various companies:

Thank you much, that has got to be it. I found one 2011 estimate that the shoreline tetrapods are $6K USD each, but I didn't find much in a cursory search either for or against the evidence of tetrapods as useful erosion control.

> Our approach is to focus on functionality and correctness first, and then improve performance over time.

Just my two cents: I think that the interface and features are excellent and a joy to use, but performance was a show-stopper that forced me to quit using the Beta for Rails-application development:

- a simple request that took ~1/3 of a second using VirtualBox and Docker Machine took six seconds on Docker for Mac
- a more complex request went from one second to twelve seconds

I didn't have a chance to dig into it, but I would guess that it has something to do w/ osxfs and the many files that Rails loads, as it reminded me of the difference between using sharing files via VirtualBox's own file sharing vs. NFS, the latter being a significant improvement.
Like another commenter mentioned, it's not entirely dissimilar from small acquihires. I think it's a smart idea.
Regulators Approve Charter Communications Deal for Time Warner Cable
No one needs turing complete smart contracts, proof of stake is a perpetual motion pitch, and exponential scaling are just words on paper
I would bet money that it does not. The Virtualbox based solutions all create one VM and run all containers there -- why would they stop doing that just because they're using a different means of virtualization?
I don't get it. Why is Docker for Mac running Linux containers? Shouldn't it be for OSX containers?

All of us raised in a capitalist society abide by this social contract, and as such it is more beneficial to have examples of people that played by more effective sets of rules than the next person.

People have learned from this by having a settlement (or rainy day fund) specifically for the government.

You can use it as educational, as a cautionary tale, but there isn't need to pass any retroactive judgment on it, in my opinion. No need to either rosy it up, or highlight something you would rather consider abominable.
I'm older than many here, I suspect. And I use modafinil and coffee. But if I'm tired enough, and I know that I have enough slack, I have no problem sleeping. Indeed, if it's quiet enough, I can still sleep for 12 hours or whatever.
Anyconnect iOS IPv6 Is Tunneling Traffic to Local
So I updated to iOS latest Anyconnect. Which claims now support ipv6. But after some testing, it seems like the iOS app will not tunnel ipv6 traffic when the server doesn't support ipv6 in the first place. But instead of dropping all ipv6 traffic, all ipv6 traffic will go through local connection if your local connection support ipv6.

Not sure if it is a intentional design choice or serious bug? While I haven't looked very deep into it but I doubt ipv6 connections got dumped to local is encrypted in anyway. Mac version doesn't seem to be have this problem and properly dumped ipv6 link when the vpn server doesn't support ipv6.

I started playing around with Docker for Mac in an attempt to get my whole dev environment set up in Docker. It was really slick, especially being (re-)introduced to docker-compose which makes connecting containers very easy.

There is a ton of potential there. My biggest challenge is that the documentation hasn't quite caught up to all of the interesting stuff that is going on. I'd certainly welcome some more opinionated answers for how to develop on Docker. Specifically: how to not run apps as root, as almost all examples use root and permissions are annoying if you don't do so; how to use docker containers for both dev and prod; best practices for getting ssh key access into a container during the build phase.

But much of it Just Works at this point, I'm pretty confident that the best practices will catch up in time.

Depending on the level of basic income, you keep the stick. You just don't beat people to death with it. I don't know about you, but (let's say) $20k/yr wouldn't keep me sitting on the couch. I'd continue to get out bed. That amount, however, might allow someone otherwise unable to do so to go to school, to pursue other interests, to spend more time with their family, and so on. All things that could be long-term more positive than languishing in poverty.
I plead observer bias - I've noticed the difference in my lifetime. It wasn't some halcyon golden era, but I was raised by people who grew up in the Depression, and they had a certain Puritan streak about material possessions.

And TV advertising is just a hobby horse. The first practitioners were "retired" OSS officers, principally propagandists. This certainly fits my desire to avoid it for aesthetic reasons. I'd just note that Prosperity Gospel really is a thing, caused (and carried) by Cable TV.
Very easy to fix. Monitor the driver's behavior in terms of the way they use the vehicle (accelerate, brake, etc), and charge them accordingly. Let them know ahead of time that you will do doing this, and that they could be liable for thousands of dollars if they don't drive well. Same goes for the interior, make them liable perhaps via insurance.
One interesting difference from acquihire here is that existing teams can be poached as a unit from other tech companies.
I guess the problem is that I'm the only one in this discussion that has offered a definition of rational. Taking action on bad information or analysis may be rational for some utility functions.
That's already possible with cgroups. Adding a virtualization layer even on Linux would be wasteful, since Docker runs natively on Linux anyway.
Well part of me hoped this was actually Docker for Mac, not just running Docker inside a Linux VM.

Guess what? I can do that on Windows 10 too and it works like a charm.
It involves an Italian bistro.
IMO the difference is: With Windows, it's expected that your installing from 3rd parties, so you get what you choose to get, warts and all.

Installing from the Play Store is supposed to be a "curated" experience. But most of the curated apps are shit.

Sure.

But the people with the skill-set and interest in doing that are going to do so anyways; I don't see how anti-theft tech would convince that type of person to shell out an extra few hundred for a bike. They would just buy something and install it themselves.

I just don't see the market for integrated anti-theft. Seems more like a custom component type of thing.
Not really, unless you are going to be running OS X in your server. You want the container in your development machine to be as close to the one that'll run in production as possible to minimize "Works on my Machine" issues.

Hey, are Germans to blame that in English, everything you write is obscene by default?
No, you're right - the principal benefactor is the government, but that's pretty weird and unsustainable. Not to mention a massive conflict of interest.

Yes, by CPI. I think the rise in real estate is caused by the deflationary nature of the rest of the economy. The Dow? That's just our standard bellwether now.
While I feel we should all treat Google with skepticism here, I didn't realize they (and so failed to acknowledge) that Homebrew was attempting to remedy that, so I apologize for speaking out of turn.
Most reefs rely on photosynthesis via a symbiotic relationship with cyanobacteria to get energy, but the water here is too cloudy. Instead many of the sponges in this reef rely on a symbiotic relationship with chemosynthetic microbes. Pretty cool!
I had an older version of Docker installed as well as the beta, so when I installed Kitematic nothing worked correctly until I reverted everything.

Yeah the way i see it, the reason we get so many "standards" is because commercial interests always want to build silos.

A "standard" is, imo, worthless if you have to supplicant yourself to corporation A, B or C to implement it.

Sadly the consumer world is more and more willing to do just that.

Observe how while IBMs attempt at siloing the PC with MCA went nowhere, "we" were all too willing to embrace Apple's proprietary "standard" regarding device docking.

A big text file, with a heading for each day.

In go tasks, troubleshooting attempts, outcomes, links, etc. Then I copy+paste into github issues, commit messages, and wiki articles as needed (part of my deliverables, as @LeifCarrotson puts it).

* No vendor lock-in, no lag, no migration issues.

* Never have duplicate typing because of copy+paste.

* Get a daily history of your work going back into time in a light, portable, ubiquitous format.

* Recover from accidentally hitting the back button while writing a Jira ticket.

* Be able to precisely answer "What did you work on last week" (or last Monday when you logged out of VPN, or anything else)

I have to move the text from my file into the tracking tool(s), and that could be a downside. But I like having a layer of translation there. It lets me select and rephrase snippets that will communicate best in each environment.

Agreed, but unfortunately info is used so infrequently that I don't even bother with it these days.
Then you should look for micro-successes, and build upon them by ensuring they occur more. The goal here is to accumulate a momentum of success that spawns motivation, and avoid measuring success from an absolute perspective (e.g., small victories matter).

Honestly though, it sounds like maybe you're trapped in a lifestyle that may genuinely (rationally) not be worth it for you. The only way to solve it may be to fundamentally alter your lifestyle toward greater self-interest (not the same as selfishness) by pursuing what you actually care more about, or being honest with yourself that you don't care enough about what you're pursuing to succeed (fame for most people falls into this category).

I like that this captures something very important about Data Science. The data may give the truth, but it's the story that makes people change. The story taps our emotions, which cause us to change behavior faster than hard data.

Every week there's a huge story. They come and go.

You also have to realize that news media are weapons used in geopolitical and economic wars - a big part of what's reported has some sort of secondary goals. Even a minor shift in perception can translate into millions gained on the stock markets.

You owe it to yourself to see past all the informational pop corn that the media is producing and realize how little it matters wether you know the "huge" story or not.
But at that point, what are you offering? (Genuinely curious. Capital? Taking on the risk? Insight/market research?) And is that worth the overhead that goes into your pocket?

Sharing economy type stuff makes complete sense when it's something you share often enough to want first dibs, but not often enough that renting it out from time to time is an inconvenience. But if you're renting it out full time then I'm not sure I understand how the incentives line up. Seems like if they notice you're doing well they could just swoop in and under-cut you next time the contract is up.

I think self-driving cars will reduce congestion in two ways. On freeways, due to slow human reaction times, there is a 2 car-length space between cars, meaning cars only take up about a third of the space on the freeway. With self-driving cars, there is near instant reaction time, so the space between cars will be 2 feet. With that, you basically triple the amount of cars on the freeway, reducing congestion by two-thirds.

In addition to this, on surface streets, traffic lights meter traffic through intersections. With self-driving cars, the cars will be able to go through intersections without the need for a traffic light, eliminating that metering effect.
I don't think policies designed to incentivize creative/productive activities (combination of propaganda, training/education, and subsidies) would be prohibitively expensive in a nation that has already agreed to try BI. Much or all of that, I imagine, could be done by volunteers and donors.

I wrote a blog post a while back about my experiments with Homebrew, which covers most of the major security concerns I have with it. I hope it's clear from the post (linked below) that I went into the process with an open mind, and even positive expectations, because so many people really like Homebrew. But, I was alarmed at the implications of some of the decisions they've made; I understand why they made the design choices they made, but I don't think the trade off is even close to worth it. It is, as noted, particularly scary for server use, but I would be hesitant to use it for any purpose.

http://inthebox.webmin.com/homebrew-package-installation-for...

After that post was written, I continued to tinker with Homebrew (because it is so popular, it was really hard to completely toss it aside), but found a number of other problems. While it has lots of packages and they are often very up to date, updating over time and upgrading/downgrading versions, both proved fragile.

In a world with so many really good package managers, I find it unfortunate that the one that captured so many people's imagination and enthusiasm is broken by design, and in ways that have been understood for decades (even before good package managers, it was understood that you don't run all your servers as the same user). Or, at the very least, cannot ever be a general purpose package manager for operating systems; if you understand the limitations and know you can never safely deploy to servers using Homebrew, and only ever use it on private development laptop/desktop systems, then I won't judge. I understand it is easy to use, has a lot of packages, and has a lot of good documentation. Those are good things.

Anyway, I'm a packaging nerd. It's a thing I'm weirdly passionate about (I've contributed patches to yum in the distant past, have been a maintainer of packages for all sorts of operating systems and OSS and commercial projects, and I maintain the package repositories for my company's products and projects). I have strong opinions, but they are based on much (much!) more than average experience; over the past two decades I've spent a lot of time building packages (for Linux, Windows, Mac OS X, Solaris, FreeBSD, etc.). It may even be the technical area I have spent the most time on, since it's been consistent across nearly every company and project I've ever worked for/on. Homebrew strikes me as a huge step backward.
I think HN's dupe detection is a work in progress. I think it's currently a bit weaker, which allows good stories to get a chance when reposted.
