Right, you can pin to a nightly for tooling.

The solution I proposed does not affect reproducability, since you would only use the nightly when running local tools.
> What you think of the terms between artists and labels is not really relevant to the matter at hand.

The grandparent wasn't opinion, it was correction of an inaccurate statement of fact in the great-grandparent, to wit, the false claim that record companies pay artists salaries, such that you could "steal from record companies" by piracy and hurt their income (and jeopardize the artists "employment" and "salary") separately from directly hurting artists income. Artists aren't salaried employees, they are contractors who receive sales royalties from record companies. Therefore, the scenario presented in the great grandparent is contrary to fact.
Learning a language might increase your overall intelligence, but mostly you "just" learn a language - like solving puzzles makes you better at solving these specific puzzles.
"But he has no serious plan for how to restore economic growth, which is what we actually need." The president can't just wave a magic wand and restore economic growth.

And just because Trump may well be racist, that does not mean he is Hitler. This kind of fear mongering detracts from the conservation.

You may have come across it already but you might be interested in "Time Reborn" by Lee Smolin. His opinion is that mathematics is a fine tool but it has lead physics to the "block universe" perspective. A reversible universe that is driven by pure immutable laws. He claims that time and spontaneous change are important.

It crossed over with some of my experience of programming. Recently he wrote "The Singular Universe and the Reality of Time" with Roberto Unger, but I haven't read that yet.

What makes Satoshi unique is that he/she/them sits on premined Bitcoins worth hundreds of millions of dollars, that while 100% transparent, hasn't moved or been cashed in. That alone is a peculiarity and makes for an interesting person.

Add to that the fact that once those coins start to move, it has the potential to affect the wealth of those who hold Bitcoin, for better or worse.

Future changes to Bitcoin are hotly contested, and often Satoshi's intent is thrown in to the discussion, and these changes will likely affect many. Were a verified Satoshi to weigh in, it would carry significant impact.

P.S. Caning doesn't solve everything, even in Singapore. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capital_punishment_in_Singapor...

> Capital punishment is legal in Singapore. The city-state had the second highest per-capita execution rate in the world between 1994 and 1998

Including https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Misuse_of_Drugs_Act_(Singapore... :

> The statute's penal provisions are draconian by most nations' standards, providing for long terms of imprisonment, caning, and capital punishment.

If caning is so effective, why is there also capital punishment? Surely that will take away decades of the "prime" years of someone's life. Like Van Tuong Nguyen, killed at age 25 for drug trafficking.
Thanks for the info. Now, if I understand the time line for Lisa, what you have said, and what 'dealers in Lightning' have said; the book must be refering to a pre 1980 decision (or the book is out to lunch)? When did Lisa actually start?

> I don't think anyone would be shocked to hear an assertion that a white judge had mistreated someone who wasn't white on the basis of the latter's race.

If it was presented as "I'm black, and I'm for more equal rights in America, and he's white, so I don't think he's treating me fairly because of his heritage", which I think is more akin to how it was originally presented, they yes, people would be upset if it was proclaimed loudly and publicly in a national forum.

If it was "He's German, and I'm Jewish, therefore I don't think he's treating me fairly because of his heritage" then yes, people would be upset.

I don't know why you think it wouldn't be a big deal. There would be plenty of people denouncing statements like that. There would also be overly apologetic liberals and overly radicalized minorities defending the statements (wrongly, IMO). Those have their equivalents in the current situation as well.

Don't cast aspersions on people's character (is he violating his oath of office?) based purely on their race. We have a word for that. It's called racism, and it applies both ways.
This isn't really a CAP theorem problem and it's certainly not right to describe Docker as "AP infrastructure." What would that mean exactly? Would you expect this problem to go away if I used a database that sacrificed consistency for availability such as Riak?

Sign with the genesis block key or fuck off - seriously the articles and claims aren't novel anymore. The breadth of delusion and nonsense is staggering - it's impossible to imagine that anyone of significant name in the field (e.g. Diffie, Hellman, Chaum, Shamir, Rivest, Adelman, Zimmerman etc.) would propose any other kind of proof.
You are conflating various things.

1) it is uncontroversial that training improves performance on traditional IQ tests. It is true that people aim to minimise this when designing tests. It is also true that so far, nobody has done a great job at that. It's worth noting that Mensa presents different tests in different parts of the world - which is a pretty big hint that they think previous experience/cultural background affects how you perform on the test.

2) Anyone can improve their running performance through training. Not everyone can be a world class marathon runner. The fact that you can improve your performance on an IQ test is not disproven by the claim that not everyone is capable of reaching Mensa levels on it.

How ISIS Became the World's Deadliest Tech Startup
Seymour Cray was a man of few words. I was there for three weeks before I realized he was not the janitor.

The "Chippewa OS" is too big a story for here, but it turned out that the official Control Data software team failed to come up with any software for the 6600! Hence a bunch of us from Livermore, Los Alamos, NCAR, etc. -- the places that had bought the machine -- were assembled in Chippewa Falls to "do something".

Perhaps the most interesting piece of unofficial software was a multitasking OS with graphical debugger for the 6600 that had been written by Seymour Cray -- to help debug the machine -- in octal absolute! I had the honor of writing a de-assembler for this system so we ordinary mortals could make changes and add to it (this was an amazing tour de force given the parallel architecture and multiple processes for this machine).
And it was also a good object lesson for what Cray was really good at, and what he was not so good at (there were some really great decisions on this machine, and some really poor ones -- both sets quite extreme)

hmm, your first complaint was that "Swarm offers no guarantees that containers will be rescheduled on the same host".

I'm saying that, if you want, you CAN make it guarantee that a container will be rescheduled to the same host. (or a controlled level of hosts).

I don't think it's docker's responsibility to solve database clustering.

And, as I said, I'm not advocating running a production DB in docker. But I can see a way that you may be able to.
> If at all possible you shouldn't be storing passwords to begin with and instead relying on another service for authentication.

Should we all be using "Login with LinkedIn", then?

Passwords are always difficult to deal with even when using bcrypt. Who knows if bcrypt is still considered secure in 5 years? How long would it take to implement a change which updates the hashing algorithm for new logins while still using the old algorithm for old logins? When should you erase all passwords from inactive who haven't logged in and thus still use the old algorithm. (If you are interested in this problem, Django's user model uses a pretty straight forward and good approach[1]).

Outsourcing them is not the answer. It is a good idea to add that for the user's convenience but I hate it when websites only offer the option to login with "your" favorite social media. But even then, by outsourcing the passwords, you are risking your users' privacy by giving them to Google/Facebook/etc. This even discriminates users' privacy when they are not using Facebook for authenticating because facebook can see that user X visited your website (and sometimes even all URLs from that website you have visited). This is because those "Login with" and "Like" buttons always hit Facebook's and Google's servers with every webpage.

Don't use OpenStack. It's an appropriate solution never. I've been at too many shops where OpenStack is just a bottomless cesspool of the company hemorrhaging money to keep a shitty broken platform barely stable.
>I think most people grow up missing their actual potential as thinkers because the environment they grow up in does not understand these issues and their tradeoffs....

This is the meta-thing that’s been bugging me: how do we help people realize they’re “missing their actual potential as thinkers”?

The world seems so content to be an oral culture again, how do we convince / change / equip people to be skeptical of these media?

Joe Edelman’s Centre for Livable Media (http://livable.media) seems like a step in the right direction. How else can we convince people?

In combination with sqlcipher and an application layer that ensures everything happens "just so"

All I said is the databases are temperamental. If you do anything "unexpected" it breaks. Numerous ways and often. Most of the bugs I've seen would be easily picked up with non deterministic testing. (Leaking result sets and prepared statements for example) - which is how I found them.

The testing codebase can only be that huge if they are all deterministic tests.

Trouble with deterministic tests is they miss all the edge cases and bugs persist for a long long time.

The transaction stuff is particularly bad. Gobbles memory without a care in the world till it either runs out and performance drops to near zero or fails and corrupts the database.

So everyone is forced to break transactions they would prefer to be atomic into multiple smaller ones.

These aren't things that should need a specific test case making in c, and many of the problems are horrific optimisation problems rather than show stoppers.

My point is. For all those kloc of testing, the sqlite code is definitely not what I would call robust.

How long has sqlite been reporting "out of memory" just because a database failed to open for some reason?

The biggest problem seems to be right here:

OOM testing is accomplished by simulating OOM errors.

I.e. not simulated in a real way.
Which is silly when it is so easy to generate them.

That's a rather strawman response. You say you "couldn't disagree more" then state a position that the person you're replying to never stated they hold (about life outcomes).

They were talking about cognitive decline and "brain power," not life outcomes as you seem to think.
The OnePlus 3 Review
I read a novel [1] in 1979 with a similar plot. In this book, the attack took place in Hollister CA rather than NYC. It didn't have vehicles being hacked, of course, but traffic lights were hacked and people died. Factory production and medical records were messed up and the hospital's power electronically shut down by the intruder. My point is that the idea of attacking a city through its computer systems is older than most HN readers.

[1] The book is Intruder by Louis Charbonneau. A synopsis is at https://www.amazon.com/Intruder-Louis-Charbonneau-ebook/dp/B... and a negative review is https://www.kirkusreviews.com/book-reviews/louis-charbonneau...
Hi, and thanks for your feedback. I do ask the clients who don't stick around, but unfortunately I almost never get replies. I have an automated Intercom personalised note that goes out after 30 days if they don't log back in, but get next to 0 replies, or else one liner "Not really interested" type replies.

A few months ago when I only had about a hundred signups, I actually sat down one weekend and wrote individual emails to people who had not logged in in a while. I even went to the lengths of visiting their own company web pages and checking their location via Intercom so I could open the letter with "Hey Bob, hope the weather is great in Berlin - I see you run a small catering company..." etc. but even those got negligible replies.

A little better is asking my existing users. After about 20 logins to our system, I have Intercom pop up an in app message asking them to name one thing the love and one thing they don't like about my app. That one almost always gets a response and is proving to be really useful, but alas not helping with retaining users who sign up and disappear...
There was a controversial study done in the 60s when we could still do these types of studies where they told teachers who the smart and dumb students were, the Pygmalion Effect.[0] The study suggests being "smart" has more to do with other people's perception and expectation.

Interesting entity, sure, but how do you expect them to cash the coins, if they have people trying to uncover the identity? Also, are those coins not theirs to do with whatever they want to? I fail to see the point but admittedly I'm not intimately familiar with the Bitcoin communities.

I also don't see how Satoshi's opinion can change anything with regards to the dilemma of the technical limitations people have been debating about. Unless Satoshi would come up with a solution nobody thought of yet. Why should their opinion weigh more than others' and it's unlikely to prevent a split.
I second that. And one of the main reasons I daily visit HN is exactly that. It widens my horizons, presenting me with different point of views to various problems/issues. I literally think that coming here makes me a smarter person in the long run.

I also experience that line of thinking in learning math. Mathematics seem like the perfect example of pattern matching. You progressively learn to adapt to a certain kind of thinking by solving a multitude of different exercises that broaden your conceptual understanding of a field. At least that's how it works for me. You keep exercising and at some point you experience an epiphany and then everything becomes crystal clear.
Or devolving?
I have two code bases that are microservices. I thought using Docker would be easy to setup and share a redis instance between these services. After spending a day trying various thing I just gave up and did 'brew install redis' and got back to real app dev. Docker isn't streamlined enough, does have great examples and is still changing lots. Sometimes doing it the old fashioned way is what lets you ship features faster.
My personal opinion is, Docker's good when you need to be sure you deploy exactly the same stuff on multiple hosts. This includes ensuring that the code you try on local machine would be the same on the production hosts. Docker is completely worthless for deploying singleton services that you already have packaging and deployment recipes for - it just doesn't add any value for such use cases.

That is, Docker is just a packaging system + a tool to spawn the deployed stuff in an isolated environment. Now, 3 years after, they've improved dependencies (previously done by docker-compose + hacks for using it in production).

That is, I use Docker only because its images are somewhat easier to build and deploy, compared to .deb packages or plain tarballs (and it's more OS-agnostic, since Docker Machine's available on Windows and OS X, so I can just build an image with dev. environment and don't care what OS is used). Doubt it's something more than this.
First that's median household income.

The Sanders' quote wasn't oppressively racist, given that his whole platform was centered around equality. Im not claiming that its impossible to say something racist and oppressive about white people. Saying something like "All white people are NASCAR loving, mountain dew sucking, Trump supporting, racist, wal-mart grade white trash" would be considered racist for example.
Do you have any thoughts or favourite authors on the topic of technology and innovation, and the process of that specifically?

I've been particularly interested lately in the works of the late John Holland, W. Brian Arthur (of PARC & Stanford), J. Doyne Farmer, Kevin Kelley, David Krakauer, and others (many of these are affiliated with the Santa Fe Institute).

In particular, they speak to modularity, technology as an evolutionary process, and other concepts which strike me being solidly reflected in software development as well. Steve McConnell's Code Complete, for example, first really hammered home to me the concept of modularity in design.
I don't believe my comment is missing anything. I was writing about some nostalgia and how I'm impressed with the efforts of Panama. I never implied or suggested that Panama has no problems. Just that they've done much better than I thought they would. Besides, the U.S. was a major supporter of the PDF before Noriega and at the beginning of his power. We had no qualms dealing with Torrijos or with PDF intervention in national politics. So long as the dictator was still on our side we were fine with it.

I think the real danger is that Trump pivots to the middle for the general election, and dupes moderate republicans into supporting him. Hitler also did this (i.e. started out very radical in the 30s, shifted to the middle to gain mass appeal, and then consolidated his power once in office).
