This is a very good tutorial! Love the end-to-end examples. Great teaching method as it gives an overview of what you want to achieve without looking at things in isolation. Wanted to add one bit of info and give a heads up about the Docker for Mac & Windows beta at https://beta.docker.com/.

> If you are on Mac or Windows, consider using a Virtual Machine. I use Parallels on Mac OS X to run an Ubuntu machine for most development activities. Being able to take snapshots, break things and then revert back is very handy when experimenting.

The beta will make is super easy to use Docker on Mac & Windows without running a heavy Virtual Machine. Here's a little video about it @ https://blog.docker.com/2016/03/docker-for-mac-windows-beta/. Basically, it feels like running Docker natively, has upgrade features build it, so you can choose to always be on the latest release (super nice). I've been using it for a few months and it is awesome to just type "docker run" on my macbook and have it work seamlessly (vs using third party virtual machine software and env bits). The idea is that you can develop on Mac & Windows using the same images you will eventually deploy. It just works (although I'm biased).

Disclaimer: Work for Docker.
And this is in my opinion why "nones" / "unchurched" is the fastest growing church in America:
http://www.pewforum.org/2012/10/09/nones-on-the-rise/

The question is whether the decline of the church in America is a symptom of other things besides the issues mentioned in the article and elsewhere (eg: churches being too connected to money and power, too focused on rules, too intolerant, too judgemental). Most unchurched still believe, so if it's just those things, then America is merely ripe for a disruptive church that would correct the current modern America church sins.

However, from what I've seen with more liberal churches that exist, the crowd is elderly and small. So I think that there's been a bit of a greater societal shift. "Make an atheist church" is not a solution, because that style just does not work for a more connected, global, diverse world where individualism is more valued. Look at this thread; many people in this thread are rejecting church because the pressure to "conform to the norm" is not worth the community gain.

Is it possible to gain the benefits of community, without sacrificing the benefits individualism? (I personally think the sins of the collective tend to be worse than the sins of the individualism, so I personally would not want to see that balance shifted to the sort of conformity many churches seem to demand.)

Just want to let you know that I think your commercials are fantastic.
To be fair - Monopoly is a partially luck-based strategy game. And while having fun is certainly a big part of board games - so is winning and winning is pretty fun for most people.

I see it as a split between "casuals" and "competitive" players. Competitive players find fun in attempting to win or giving it their best shot while casual players see winning as a bonus and just want to have fun. Which may or may not involve playing with the best strategies or giving it their best.

I also agree entirely with lmm. The best games are games that are fun even when losing. If you can't have fun while losing (eg: Monopoly) then I don't consider it a good game.
I have: Xiaomi speakers, plugs, air purifier, water quality tester, water purifier, router, backpack, portable charger, fitness tracker, lightbulb, etc.

They all work very well, and are exceptional quality, considering their price.
Note to self: should have read the whole project description, there's a performance chapter answering this exact question.

The standard of living for an engineer doesn't get any better than this.
Show HN: HeartsBot, a dating chatbot for Facebook Messenger
HeartsBot (http://m.me/heartsbot) is a new dating chat bot that I made last week, and I thought I'd share it! HeartsBot quickly helps you find & meet new people in your area.

http://m.me/heartsbot

This is my first chat bot, and I thought I'd give some insight in making it.

My philosophy on the "chatbots revolution" has been actually towards avoiding any sort of conversational-like UI. Rather, the chat bot presents to you a menu (almost like a website might) and avoids any other conversation. Dan Grover's excellent article (http://dangrover.com/blog/2016/04/20/bots-wont-replace-apps.html) lended much inspiration towards this philosophy, and I'm convinced also that the reason chatbots had succeeded in other parts of the world was because of their simplicity & speed of access, rather than any novelty reason that the bot could "sound like a human." Therefore, the chat bot gives you a brief menu (Browse Profiles, Edit Profiles, and Matches) and clicking on each one opens a web page, to which you are automatically logged into.

The interesting thing about this is ease of access. There are no app downloads, no passwords, no sign-up/registrations, no bookmarks needed, and no permission dialogs. A simple message gets a user all set up. What's more, the app has access to some basic public Facebook information about you such as name, gender, and photo so it can give you a bit more personalized treatment.

Anyways, please check out the app and let me know what you think!
What is someone's motivation for finding stuff like this? I assume they just have some sort of innate satisfaction from finding vulnerabilities, sort of like solving a puzzle?

It seems hard to believe money is the motivating force, since the bug bounties are pretty low and I'm sure the $/hour is super low unless you're some sort of penetration tester wizard.
I think it's reasonable to view an outspoken owner has having organizational and cultural impact on his business enterprises in concert with personal gravity.

As in, if the WaPo is taking on some elements of Bezos' attitude or interests, that's a natural evolution and adjustment. For example, he's ambitious, and if he brings that ambition to the WaPo, then yes, it will likely be an issue with 'traditional' culture, or it might be a welcome change. It's hard to tell from the outside.

To me, Mark Cuban is a pretty good example in his ownership of the Dallas Mavericks. A relatively media savvy guy pushes his organization to be media savvy as well. Recently as evidenced by starting up a local entertainment firm "Another Mavricks Production" to partner with acts like Ludacris for fanbase engagement. Is that "anti-NBA" just because it's kind of new? I don't see it that way.

And, just as a closing thought, if Trump thinks the WaPo isn't treating him fairly, well, if Gawker manages to survive long enough to get around to flaying him in public, I'd probably click on the article.

New Limits on Neutrino Masses
What about this reason? What if your program is pretty much entirely used from a JSON REST service? What if these JSON objects need to also be sent between machines? What if they need to be exportable to files sometimes?

Now imagine the same program also has an internal database where these JSON objects can be imported and used. Does it make sense that, when actually in use, these objects are relational and split between 10 complicated tables? Why should someone bother writing complex import/export conversion functions, maintaining them in the future, and having worse performance. Wouldn't it be much simpler, maintainable, and faster to just plop the JSON in the database?

An aside.

Anyone who is interested in marketplaces, whether their implementation, management, or value, should read "The Middle Man Economy" by Marina Krakovsky: http://marinakrakovsky.com/books/

This book was very helpful to me in understanding concretely how marketplaces and middlemen can actually have real tangible benefits (though, working for a marketplace startup now, and having worked for a real estate brokerage in the past, I have more than a passing familiarity with the value propositions of several types of middlemen).

Alternatively, here's a podcast with the author: http://www.econtalk.org/archives/2016/03/marina_krakovsk.htm...
Serious question: have you been through a CS program? In addition to the mathematical and theoretical underpinnings of the discipline, a large part of what is taught is how to engineer software. IMO Docker is a major step forward in software engineering, this is why I believe it should be taught.
non-sequitur. The whole topic here is about a Universal Basic Income. You're the only one who said all that nonsense about "force employers to treat everyone like stellar employees" etc. If you want to never learn anything, these sorts of straw-man statements are a good approach. Alternatively, you could actually engage fairly with what people are actually saying.
Even that is flawed because it is not Congressioanl Representation Per Capita.

Not having it be per-capita overvalues high population schools like Harvard.
A lot of the deadwood is management :-)
It's a very big project,well done.I would like to know exactly through what you're going to send this messages. Anyway that's still mind blowing stuff!

> Most web apps are only tested on the latest browsers anyway

I've worked in web/related fields for about 10 years now, and I've never worked on a project where "fuck it, the latest will do" has been acceptable.
First thing I do when creating any Rails app is take out Turbolinks. It's like autopilot.
This is one of the coolest things I've ever seen.
You had lots of cheap labor in 1900. Now between the 12 government agencies with the ability to say "no", about as many unions, absolute liability for falls from ladders in NYC and a thousand other cuts its wacky expensive to do anything.
> it's still unfortunate that STEM majors don't seem to have a good pathway into political activism.

How many STEM majors want to be involved in politics? That's a complete field/industry change (not the case for law majors).
Yes, maybe use a database that allows you the best of both worlds, a serialised blob that happens to be queryable and generally really high performance.
I admit my wording was not as good as it could have been. I also agree that good engineering fundamental should be taught; however, Docker is a tool like any other. It can be used for both good and evil.

Self-correction: It cuts the Zürich-Lugano journey time from 173 to 111 minutes rather than Zürich-Milan (which still takes longer). Though it does cut journey times for the latter by an hour too.
> let alone automated profile switching.

Personally, I wanted to use it for making the terminal look different (different background colour) when switching to a root shell. Then I found I would have to install the shell integration in the root environment of every host I would ever admin. That turns it into a useless feature.
Pivotal | ONSITE at many locations worldwide | Engineers, Designers, Product Managers, Pre/Post-Sales Engineers, Ops, Sales

Pivotal's goal is to change the way the world makes software and we kinda sorta really mean it.

We value aptitude over alma mater, empathy over APIs. It doesn't matter whether your resumé says PHP or PhD: if you're smart, empathetic and know some stuff, we want to work with you.

We have offices in San Francisco, New York City, Santa Monica/LA, Palo Alto, Seattle, Beaverton, Boulder, Denver, Chicago, Boston, Washington DC, Atlanta, Austin, Dallas/Ft Worth, Toronto, London, Paris, Dublin, Tokyo, Sydney, Berlin, Singapore and Beijing, with more coming.

We're broken into three basic divisions: Pivotal Labs (yes, that Pivotal Labs), Pivotal Cloud Foundry and Pivotal Big Data.

-- Pivotal Labs, from which the company draws its name and cultural seed, helps clients to become better at development. For engineering we are religiously lean and agile. In practice that means we pair program and TDD every line of code from the outside. Our product managers are fantastic at keeping products sharply focused, our designers are masters from users to pixels.

-- Cloud Foundry solves application deployment and management. We're the main contributors to the Cloud Foundry project. We're constantly improving the leading opensource PaaS -- our distribution has the fastest-growing sales of any opensource product ever and it's still zooming up and to the right.
Except for upstream code, every line is pair programmed and TDD'd. We dogfood the cutting edge of the technology on our own commercial public cloud (Pivotal Web Services). It works because we took the XP and Lean DNA of Pivotal Labs and scaled it up to build the best cloud platform available.

-- Big Data is our suite of battled-hardened products, now open sourced. Greenplum tackles massive datasets with the comfort of PostgreSQL. Apache HAWQ (incubating) brings Greenplum's distributed query planner to Hadoop. Gemfire, donated as Apache Geode (incubating), is an in-memory distributed grid with years of high performance in high-stakes systems.

-- Generally

At our offices we have free breakfast, weekly tech talks, excellent benefits and competitive pay. Ping pong isn't mandatory, but it's popular. I think west-coast ping pong is harder to beat, but east-coast style is more entertaining to watch. The beer fridge has more IPA than I prefer but I guess that's life in paradise.

You can see the available jobs and apply through our website: https://pivotal.io/careers. If you do, please mention my name. You can also email me at jchester+hn@pivotal.io to answer any questions you might have. Either of these helps me score one of our referral bonsues (did I mention our generous referral scheme?)

I may not be able to reply immediately, as I am just an engineer here.
