Protectionism in East Asia did help very capital intensive industries (automotive, chip fabrication, ship building etc) to grow during its infancy. But I doubt that if this is fundamentally the right way to look at why economic miracle happened in East Asia.

There has never been shortage of protectionist economies. In fact this was the norm for centuries all around the world and certainly in East Asia. What was it about post WWII that was so special that actually had impact on the economy?

[Edit]
And let's not forget about North Korea. North Korea surely had the most protectionist economy in the world. It has shielded its own corporations from the hardships of global competition, and yet we never saw companies like Hyundai, Daewoo or Kia in North Korea.

Six Ways Ansible Makes Docker-Compose Better
When I first heard about Docker, I thought it did what Nix does.

Then someone handed me a docker image saying, "I got this working on my laptop, deploy this. Isn't this great!". I had no idea how they arrived at that configuration. If something happened to them or that image, I wouldn't have known how to reproduce that "working state".

So I am happy to see Nix / Guix become popular. It is what I imagined package management to be.

But Nix / Guix is a qualitatively different things. Hope it becomes popular.

Didn't see it mentioned in other comments, but a particular failing of LED lamps is their unsuitability for critical color matching applications. Fluorescents and CFLs are available for that use, but to date haven't seen LEDs that are satisfactory.

This is important in art studios, museums and other venues. For many years I've used specialized 48" T12 fluorescents with good results. Incandescent/halogen lamps are also essential because color selection can depend on the target environment, there's a world of difference between indoor illumination and daylight in this respect.

The high-efficiency lamps described in the article will likely be very useful and a welcome refresh of a light source that's so far been hard to emulate with LEDs.

With IR energy being pumped back into the filament, maybe it's an option to run a hotter filament emitting a higher color temperature. More likely the input energy is just decreased so the resulting filament temp remains in conventional range. There still might be an issue re: time to filament burnout not differing from conventional lamps unless the filament is modified in some way.

In the long run I imagine LEDs will be improved, curbing the disproportionate blue output, while enhancing and smoothing the long end of the spectrum. LED dominance will probably be complete when color rendering is optimized, they work properly with electronic dimmer switches, and lamp envelopes produce illumination as diffuse as classic sources, e.g., like "frosted" incandescents.
Remove "analytics" from your statement and you'll arrive at the answer, because while analytics is driving the streaming space as we speak it is literally one of the most boring applications of streaming imaginable. I positively cannot get excited about engagement numbers from an event pipeline. Intrusion detection, fraud detection, about half of infrastructure monitoring tasks, event sourcing... You're also glossing over the impact of microbatching which looks more like seconds than milliseconds, as well as what microbatching does to your windowing abilities (such as having to double-process to work around the microbatch interval as applied to your desired windowing semantics).

Microbatch latency immediately rules out several useful applications of streaming. I also didn't say anything about the JVM nor it being okay for my purposes. You did.

I can back up my statements on streaming from Flink to Samza to Dataflow/Beam to Storm to MillWheel to Spark "Streaming" and back again because it has been my primary focus (literally thinking of nothing else) for a couple years. Please accuse someone else of FUD because that's a relatively veiled way to say "you don't know what you're talking about," and I assure you that you're (condescendingly) wrong. I think you're also coming at that angle from interpreting me as negative on Spark Streaming. Read carefully.
Security team? We don't even have an IT guy. That's what small business is like. Everyone pitches in, and to some extent, everyone has to know a bit about everything.

In this case, that includes keeping up with the latest updates when they come out, looking up each KBnnnnnnn marked as a security patch, and checking whether it looks good before deciding whether we should install it. It's not rocket science, it's just more difficult than it ought to be since Microsoft stopped putting any helpful information directly in Windows Update. It's still far less hassle than either jumping through Enterprise hoops or experiencing downtime because a Windows Update broke something important and we couldn't block it.

> ...he was making sure that Makinde wouldn't be too politically assertive about race issues.

I think that gives him far too much credit. It's no different than if you asked someone "Why is it offensive if I grope you, hit on you, and imply that sexual favors will advance your career?" It smacks of complete obliviousness to social issues at best, which would make the interviewer extremely unqualified to screen interview candidates for anything other than pure technical qualifications. Which, in this instance, they were obviously conducting an at least partially non-technical interview.

My suspicion is it's an aggressive move, to make sure that the racially insensitive and/or offensive status quo can be maintained with the interviewer betting heavily that their actions would not be called out post-hoc and that any candidate who was offended would walk away quietly. The people creating such a climate can claim an attempt at stimulating diversity, but that their job offers are turned down.

It's unfortunate that we don't know who did this nor does it appear that their company was contacted/informed about the inappropriate behavior of one of their employees.

Obviously Makinde's experience with the CEO is outrageous and abhorrent but race-related issues go very much beyond his personal negative experiences.

Any sort of questioning of a PoC talking about their experiences or their opinions on race is social suicide.

Learning: Slow versus Fast
I don't know for sure, but I think it's installed under /nix thinking of multi-user Nix installs. With Nix any system user can install its own set of packages and on NixOS there are build users that install packages on behalf of normal users.
The last time I tried (a month ago), I could reproduce most of my current Homebrew packages. There are few that are broken (e.g. rust, which has since been fixed), or do not have Darwin support (aria2c, which I have a PR open[1]). There are also packages that are a little bit hard to discover, e.g. those that are imported from Haskell's Hackage where it is not listed by default[2] when you do `nix-env -i <packageName>` (e.g. shellcheck).

From my few days of trying to replace Homebrew with Nix, being able to rollback the environment to last known good state (`nix-env --rollback`), ability to keep track of package changes (`nix-env --list-generations`), ability to try a package without installing it (`nix-shell`, well, technically it's installed on the machine, but nothing is linked in the profile, and you can nuke them with `nix-collect-garbage`) are very nice additions.

Apart from these features, the fact that it doesn't chown `/usr/local/` to my user is a big plus. Nix will also not linking anything not explicitly installed by user to their profile (e.g. if package A has B as dependency, B won't be linked until user actually choose to install it, which is then managed separately from B that were explicitly installed as A's dependency).

That said, I've since revert back to Homebrew because there are few packages broken that are crucial to what I'm working on. Creating and fixing package is not too hard (I did with aria2c), although time didn't allow me to do it back then. I would love to try to switch to Nix again sometimes.

People in ##nix-darwin are super-nice, also! :-)

I don't understand how that's supposed to make the bulb more efficient. If you're trying to keep the interior of the bulb hot, mission accomplished. But the problem we're trying to solve is that when we run a current through the filament, some of the energy we supply becomes visible light and some becomes infrared light. We want more of it to become visible light and less of it to become infrared light. How does preventing infrared light from leaving the bulb help with that?

> 5 seconds of research into CRI says that the first sentence is false. CRI compares a light source to an ideal black body, not necessarily daylight.

I'll clarify this a bit further: At color temperatures below 5000K (warm/neutral whites), it's compared against an ideal black body. For 5000K and up (cool whites) it's compared against CIE Standard Illuminant D[1], representing a daylight spectrum.

Two interesting notes on CRI:

1) This makes CRI discontinuous at 5000K. Two bulbs with very similar color spectrums at 4995K and 5005K can have significantly different CRI scores.

2) CRI of 100 doesn't mean it's "perfect", it means it's the same as a black body emitter (or illuminant D for cool whites). There's some recent research suggesting that people prefer oversaturated reds relative to the black body emitter, but if you put more red in the spectrum it actually lowers your CRI.

As far as the two quotes you pulled from the article

> Traditional incandescent bulbs have a ‘colour rendering index’ rating of 100, because they match the hue of objects seen in natural daylight.

Yep, totally wrong. A tungsten filament bulb is effectively a black body radiator. Being well below 5000K color temperature, it's gauged against the black body spectrum. It's the same spectrum as the reference! Of course it scores well!

> Previously researchers have warned that the blue light emitted by modern bulbs could be stopping people from getting to sleep at night

This one's a more reasonable statement. Daylight doesn't keep you up at night because there's no daylight at night. The fact that you're running a blue pumped phosphor LED at 11 PM is the potential issue. They have a giant spike of blue in the emission spectrum[2]. Exactly how that affects melatonin levels or your circadian clock is out of my expertise, but it's definitely a real concern that we need to investigate and get a better handle on.
