And by "don't totally suck" you apparently don't mean battery life? Having my wife switch from Chrome to Safari on her macbook was the best thing that ever happened to her battery [1] - it literally can make the difference between needing a power adapter or getting a full days work done.

Thank you very much for your time here. More importantly, thank you for your contribution to the field. All of us here live and work in a more exciting place because of the visions that you pursued and built. We are better for it.
I say this every time I read an article approaching my areas of domain knowledge. (And yet I keep reading the articles.) Thankfully we have forums such as this one where more context and clarification and correction can come out.
Mesos is proven at massive scale (Apple use it for Siri, Twitter use it for their data warehouse). You can run a cluster of 10k nodes if you want. I believe they have run simulations at higher scale than that.

Docker Swarm is not yet proven at such scale. They have run perf tests at 1k nodes, which is high enough for most use cases, but not for truly warehouse-scale computing. 1k nodes is also where Kubernetes tops out at (though expect that to be higher in Kubernetes 1.3, which should be released in the coming weeks).

On the other hand, if you're trying to run Docker container workloads, it's going to be easier in a Docker-first cluster orchestrator like Docker Swarm or Kubernetes; Mesos has Docker support but it's not as tightly integrated, and doesn't implement the full Docker management API.
You want to say "are not bothered to pay for their tools"
Keeping your brain fit is important, and the study isn't arguing that. The way that these games do it is not useful.

Just liking training running will make you good at running, training those puzzles will make you good at... those puzzles. That's not what those game companies sell it as, people want better general intelligence and instead they are just getting really good at matching shapes or solving crosswords.

In your football example, a squat is full body exercise that strengthens numerous different muscle groups. These "brain training games" are not full mind exercises.
Being happy about something and supporting something is not the same thing. It is entirely possible that McCain is not happy about Trump but prefers him to the alternative - e.g. splitting the party, losing the election, etc. The world is imperfect, and you don't always get what you're happy about - sometimes you just choose how much of the unhappy you're going to have.
Well for one it costs you money to run the programs so if you want to run your program forever you can try that but it's a bit of a money pit.

I think the idea vehind TC is that now you could write in certain styles that do guarantee termination without sacrificing readability.

For example if you're working with just primitively recursive functions you can always guarantee termination

So the prerequisite for people investing is for the contract to be in a certain style, or something

EDIT: besides, even without TC you still need to check the contract for logic bugs. TC is a bit of a red herring for "due diligence is always needed"

This guy is talking about some very low value information. If social streams are the central axis of your life, you're doing it wrong. There are more interesting ideas to be had.
> My real complaint is that none of these give you a way to do persistence that doesn't destroy some other really nice properties of containers.

100% agree with you there.

> It mostly just keeps them even with Kubernetes at best. And an imitation of it at worst.

Personally, when I looked at kubernetes, mesos, etc and saw the xml hell that i'd be living in and said "no way".

If i have to run something as complex as those to have docker then it's not worth it to me.

When I look at the new docker swarm stuff. For the first time I think that docker is a viable thing (assuming it all works). because I'm not adding additional complexity to get my docker simplicity.

Partially related: Is anyone else bothered by the volume of negative reviews on Amazon that simply target an individual seller rather than the product? All instances of any product are covered by the same set of reviews, regardless who the seller was, so reviews like this are totally unfair in dragging the product's rating down.

Why doesn't Amazon have a policy against this?
Except C isn't a subset of C++. There are many valid C keywords that aren't valid in C++, like restrict and _Noreturn.
The problem is also a lot of people think they and everybody they agree with belong to one of these camps while all people that disagree with them belong to the other, and in truth it's nothing like it :)
It's the idea popularized by git. Use one namespace and you have related commands that lives under one roof. Compare that with postgressql which installs a bunch of generic names on the top-level (e.g. createddb) which is annoying.

The thing I would be concerned about is bloat. I enjoy and leverage dockers' fast boot up and lightweight containers. I hope they stay focused on this.

Hi Alan,
Since you may spend another day answering questions..
a got some more for you :-)

What do you think about the different paradigms in programming?

And what do you think about type theory, etc?

Bonus question:
I am trying to develop a new general programming system for children.
I was inspired by Smalltalk and ELM.

http://www.reddit.com/r/unseen_programming
It is a graphical system that uses function blocks connected with flow-logic. So basically it is functional,
but much simpler.
The function-blocks form a system, very similar to classes/objects in Smalltalk.
What do you think about such a system,
or what tips do you have about designing a new language?
The banks pretty much state that their software is an approximate implementation of the contract not the real contract itself. They specify that the real contract is what their lawyers drew up as interpreted by a human judge considering hundreds of years of legal case law.

The DAO basically said screw the lawyers and case law and precedent bullshit, the contract is nothing more or less than the results of running this program on the Ethereum VM.

As the program executed a way to transfer 10s of millions of dollars and they specifically stated that the program was the contract, by The DAO no contract violation occurred, hence no hack.
You are mixing up the National Council of La Raza (a political group) with the La Raza Lawyer's Association (a professional association).
I'm interested in the streaming technology you mention. Is this something open source or supported natively by docker?
I've been an avid Sublime user for many years and still am, and this is what puts me off any electron based editor or app in general. The requirements for the most trivial things are so high, it is insane. Try running Atom on a AMD E1 laptop. TLDR, not very nice.
Educated guess: generator functions with chunked processing on setInterval callbacks would be less CPU consuming for such tasks.
This is more holy war material than anything really. Emacs is just an editor.

There's no liability because they aren't intruders, they're requesters.

If all it takes to get something is to request it, without any interaction and thus without any fraud, then it's public.

What's the difference between me calling a phone number and asking for a company's financials before they're publicly released, and checking the probable URL before they're publicly released?

The first isn't a crime, why is the second?
The government does not create resources. Giving people resources means taking resources from people, passing it through enormously vast, complex and ever expanding bureaucracy and then giving whatever is left to the those that the bureaucracy deemed worthy. This is the wisdom behind left-wing politics, and I think it is only natural it does not look particularly wise to some. Adding to that huge amount of regulations, red tape, prohibitions and compliance demands, which drain resources and foreclose opportunities for many while benefitting few or nobody at all - and the wisdom becomes even more elusive.
With SQL, you get a complete solution to your problem immediately (the data you want is returned). So, high value return on effort motivates people to learn it.
What if they had used a language without the possibility of recursion and without loops? I'm being serious. Languages that disallow certain types of recursion, and disallow loops exist. You'd think they would've used something that actually allows for total functions that are guaranteed to terminate in a certain way, instead of a JavaScript clone...
Maybe they should do a comparison of extension support or developer tools? :P
I would question the assumption that every politician says PC is something negative that we have too much of. Certainly I'd have hard time finding many left-wing politicians saying that.
PAM is great, and it's especially great as a layer of indirection, but I can't agree with your overall point that using PAM = problem solved. To your no harder than LAMP point, most teams can't competently manage a security critical LAMP stack. They're in good company given that big companies/governments get pwned with great regularity. Survival requires defense in depth, and that gets expensive. It's a matter of everything from policy (are there two-man change controls on firewall rules, do separate teams own the route tables and firewall, do separate teams develop/audit/deploy security critical code) to hardware (is private key material stored on an HSM, are sensitive services physically isolated, does entropy come from a hardware RNG). Most small companies aren't thinking about those things.

Also, given that the P is for pluggable, what's the backend? You wouldn't use pam_unix for users outside your org. A DB? Now you're back to square one. LDAP+Kerberos/AD? That beats the DB but it doesn't do anything for your defense in depth requirement.

We want to allow recursion and loops. We want to be able to run arbitrary code.

We just need to be a little wiser about how we do it.
Can you point to some of the instabilities?

> If you cannot understand this, please I beg you, do NOT design crypto systems. If you'd like to be an even better Good Samaritan, please disclose your identity to the community. This may protect your future employer and their customers from a breach.

First let me say that I believed we were having a decent conversation until this comment right here. You're personally attacking me at this point. I am not designing crypto. In my first message I stated multiple times that those were my thoughts. My identity isn't hidden - if you care to look through my history. Your account is 20 days old, and you're talking to me about making my identity public?

Anyhow, I now understand the attack you've been describing. I misunderstood the attack, thinking you wanted to be able to sign any message of your choosing. Rather, the attack is focused on iteratively changing the signature of a message until the server confirms it. I was wrong, you were right. The spec for JSON Web Algorithms (JWA)[0] confirms this.

It is doomed, who would trust a contract now with real "money"? Unless you have a mathematically rigorous proof that the contract is trustworthy I sure wouldn't.
...and a willingness to accept any unintended or unforeseen consequences.

The burden of proof that "iron fertilization" (or any other geo-engineering technique) will even result in a net reduction in anthropogenic climate change — leaving entirely aside, you know, not actually being harmful — is on the people who want to do it. As much as CO₂, &c, is a problem that begs for something to be done, I don't think that's been adequately demonstrated yet.
I am waiting for my copy to land in the mail before reading this.

You are correct, LRB is generally not easily fooled into writing puff pieces; O'Hagen is a very sharp writer (check out his masterly analysis of Assange who is much more capable of blowing smoke than Wright).

My prediction is that this will be looked upon more as a an essay about digital con men, and this is why M-K Willmers allowed it to be published.

FWIW, I say Neal Stephenson is Satoshi :)
> More and more research is pointing to strength being a leading predictor of mortality.

Can anyone point me to some sources and readings on this topic? I'd love to see some stats on how strength compares to cardio as a proxy for mortality for instance.
just a quick tip:

check out weave for managing networking, IMO it's much easier and I'm not even talking about the docker plugin. just use weave without the plugin and it works amazingly well.

for the configuration aspect, just use dockerfiles and a system like mesos and marathon for deploying production.

you can then write simple restful API commands to launch different environments with marathon.

build all your docker containers to act as single server instances, i.e., spark on one container, SQL on another.

tie in a default install of cadvisor on all mesos clients and you can have easy monitoring as well.
The Tor Project, for example.

Yep, I think the only defense against someone criticizing an unboxing video is to sit near your front door on the expected delivery day, recording device in hand and finger on the button, and as soon as you see/hear the delivery driver pulling up, start recording and don't stop until the device is unboxed. The sheer absurdity of anyone actually doing that is what works in the favor of scammers on both sides (buyers and sellers).
Ask HN: Mediating a conflict between manager and subordinate?
My manager and one of my reports have been butting heads badly this week. They're each in the right about some things and in the wrong about others; they each have some unrealistic expectations and emotional baggage that they're bringing to the table; and when apart they're both very reasonable people. I'd give more detail, but I'm pretty sure they both read HN, too.

So far I've managed to stay mostly neutral and taken the stance that this can be resolved. But I'm feeling caught in the middle and pretty sure this is going to end badly for all involved unless they both drop a whole bunch of preconceptions. What are some tactics for getting them to see eye to eye - or at least prevent the situation from escalating?
How do you keep track of symlinks?
Maybe I'm missing something, but I'm honestly surprised how people could trust huge amounts of money to projects like Ethereum and The DAO.

The only explanation I could imagine is like:
"We could have become rich if we knew that Bitcoin would be a success..now it is too late. But wait, there is a new thing called Ethereum, maybe that is our chance! Let's invest our money!".
FYI "the race" is not the only meaning of "la raza" (surprise, word can have several meaning) and not the one meant in "La Raza". And the group is not called "La Raza" either. It is called San Diego La Raza Bar Association.
Considering that the billionaire investor behind it has zero track record of implementing massive construction projects (on the scale of Samsung working as a prime contractor for the Burj Khalifa, for example), I'm very suspicious that it's anything other than vaporware...
GOLD Outlook Remains Higher on More Recovery
It's funny how Microsoft conducted the "tests" on Chrome [1] & Firefox [2] and discreetly leave out Safari. Safari is by far a winner when it comes to efficiency. So hats off to MS for their "informative" & "thorough" test(s).

[1] has been known for draining battery, so no surprises there.

[2] which for a couple of releases has become even more unusable. On my MBP (2014, i5, 8GB), takes over 4+ seconds for the bar to activate. Hopefully with the introduction of E10S [3], next releases will be much more perfomant.

EDIT: I did not know Safari is no more on Windows. So in that case Edge is the winner for Windows.

Interesting analysis on DAO, the virtual company that apparently thought it could fly but instead fell off a cliff. I like the premised intent of digital currency. All currency is digital (read imaginary) in fact, but the geniuses who headed this up did not realize that security is not just a byword for hacking/privacy concerns. If you stick your wallet out you better make damn sure you don't end up buying everybody's lunch. Personally, they should 'rollback', as long as their is no animosity. Again, all 'currency' is man-made-imaginary. So I say live and learn and keep pushing forward. What do I know though? Maybe these guys can afford to give their money away but that is definitely not agreeable.
As expected, "Ethereum is turing-complete" turned out to be just a marketing meme (or a horrible idea at best), just like "Litecoin is silver", "Doge is community", and all the others.
I believe your speculation is correct.

The DAO was a great idea but it should have been done at a significantly smaller scale. Raise say $1M worth of tokens and invest in three things and then sunset the project and evaluate the result. Call it an experiment. This was like going from bottle rocket to Saturn V in one step.
> That demonstration was all I cared to do. You can move the goalposts, and demand "documentation for the super broad claims", but I'm not going there.

That's fine, don't worry. It's not like anyone else is, either.

> Nor is this essay about that topic you want to discuss.

Yeah, I noticed that. Yet it serves to substantiate anything bad about Appelbaum in the minds of people, as demonstrated by nobody giving a genuine fuck about the plagiarism claims.

> I see. So because you don't understand something doesn't mean it can't or doesn't happen. Is this based on your experience in reading through EEOC and court cases on how sexual harassment takes place in the workplace? Or in Title IX cases of how sexual harassment takes place in academic environments?

Huh. Do any of these involving attack websites calling someone "rapist, plagiarist, sociopath", or a TimeToDieJake twitter account? If you're claiming any of these things would make a case for how this, and exactly this, could every be a good idea and not abusive in itself, simply cite the relevant bits, or make your own argument.

> Or are you winging it based on your personal beliefs? Because that's what it seems like to me.

Winging what, exactly? That someone fingering someone in their sleep or having sex with them in front of others agains their will doesn't constitute proof for plagiarism, or what?

You're "winging" addressing that head on first by declaring it out of scope, then also simply substracting it from the scope of what I criticized, which is the website and the whole package, then bluffing about documents in which you'll hardly find anything to support said package, and then fantasizing about "personal beliefs" of mine without even having the courtesy to name them. More of that creepy bullshit any HN discussion I posted in was riddled with. This isn't a mob, we're just mobbing.

So, what personal belief of mine would that be? That you shouldn't have double standards? That you shouldn't lie? That the first one to call anyone a bad person doesn't get to do whatever to them, while being completely beyond criticism? Anything else you have issue with and would move from the real of minimum requirements for being a fully fledged adult to "opinions" or "beliefs"?
I use "character" in the same way that the Unicode Consortium uses the word. Though "code point" would be more precise.
