Taking a break and going outside for a short walk. Having a short conversation. Jason Fried and DHH discussed this more in Remote [1], and I really think isolation is the biggest challenge of fully remote work.

(Then again, my "problem" is the opposite and I think it's something a lot of remote workers experience — you work even more hours and even harder than in a typical office environment.)

a/ It's naive to assume market won't work in this one case and people will happily pass ten percent of their money to support staff just because their work is important. What can be competed away will be competed away.

Why would anyone start a company to "solve a problem X"? You should start trying to sell something people want to buy. In the meantime you may end up solving a problem.
NPOV == Neutral Point of View for those wondering. Wikipedia strives for "just the facts", but as you point out they don't have it everywhere. Most of the articles are very good or at least acknowledge where there is bias that should be resolved.

Apart from sublime text and terminal for work and a browser, there is a nice piece of software called pomello. It works with trello and essentially builds a pomodoro timer on top of it. It helps me very much with getting things done.
Maybe "stable" was the wrong word. Perhaps "proven stable" would be better. It's not that "new and shiny" can't be stable, it's just that it hasn't proven itself stable yet. It hasn't been around long enough to prove it. So it's more using technology that has over a decade of proven dependability, over something that may or may not be.

It is certainly possible. The first user I know of who did this was using Mesos. Nowadays the push is more around doing it with Kubernetes and OpenShift; I know there was at least one presentation on it at Red Hat Summit. I'm a core-infrastructure guy, so that's kind of not my bailiwick, but if there's nothing in Gluster's own documentation about such things there might be something in one of those other communities.

Perhaps this would require bomb-bay doors on the bottom of the hold?
I suspect that their troubles have more to do with the need for software developers experienced in stuff that's not JavaScript or some other "cool" technologies. They probably also require people to read/write and understand software spec documents, something most software devs in SV can't do.

Here are two scenarios:

1. Calling a function with the same input sometimes gives you a different output.

2. Calling a function with the same input will always give you the same output.

Which do you think will more reliably give you correct outputs?

> I care about correct output

That's why we unit test. Well, and to protect the requirements of the system from the engineers who change the codebase. Referential Transparency (the concept described above) is a boon to this.
I would love to see OpenBadges integration and push university students and naughty employees when they keep doing dumb stuff on the network to take more useful courses like this instead of the watered down corporate crap I see for punishment, instead of educating people away from hacking attempts.
jQuery is a large library. If it were modular and developers used only the code they need it would be faster to parse.

But I doubt the bottleneck is JS code. The problem is that web sites are not optimized (some frontend developers think that writing a CSS stylesheet for narrow screen is enough) and they include a lot of resources (including trackers, advertisement, spying social network buttons I never click). Some of the widgets create an iframe (which is like a separate tab in your browser) and load a separate copy of jQuery there, make AJAX requests etc. And even worse, some advertisement networks can create nested iframes 2 or 3 levels deep (for example when a network doesn't had own ads, they can put Google Adwords block). So when you load a page with 10 iframes it loads the CPU as 10 separate tabs.

Decoding images is not free too, especially if it is thousand pixel wide heavily compressed JPEG or PNG image.

The real optimization would be cutting away (or making lazily loadable by user request) everything except content. As website developers are not going to do it, it is better to do the optimization on client side. I wish standard mobile browser allowed disabling JS, web fonts (which are just a waste of bandwidth) and loading images on request. Mobile networks usually have high latency so reducing the number of requests needed to display a page could help a lot.

OS/2 had its own version of COM, called SOM.

The best thing about it, was that it also supported metaclasses Smalltalk style. So one could go crazy with OO metaprogramming.

Sadly it died with OS/2.

Then there was the other multi-platform OO ABI project from Apple, Sun and IBM, Taligent. Also not that successful.

COM is ok to work with, when done from .NET or now UWP point of view. C++/CX and the recently announced C++/WinRT are still ok, even if a bit more wordy.

The real pain starts increasingly with C++ WTL, C++ ATL, C++ MFC or for the real masochists pure C with COM related macros and the COM IDL compiler.

Then there was that other thing called CORBA, which makes the initial versions of Java EE feel like being in heaven.

What would you forecast the expected effects of you trying LSD or cocaine would be?

Part of the effectiveness of the Drug War has been to implant a binary perspective on the dangers of drugs: uncompromising, guaranteed, full-scale disaster. They manage to re-arrange everyday peoples' notions of cause and effect to make it seem as if the drugs are the problem leading to emotional disaster. This is a convenient scapegoat.

The real situation is the breakdown and loss of faith in the fully industrialized world is causing more people to want to escape than ever, breakdowns in family structure, financial stress, physical stress, loss of freedom and so on. These things can't be fixed easily and despite all of the drug arrests, people are continuously becoming more desperate.
I had a tail light out, and had my car taken apart piece by piece because the officer couldn't find the drugs his dog "alerted" to.

The basis of his bringing a dog was simply stereotyping me. In my state there is no probable cause requirement to call in a K-9 unit and have a dog walk around your vehicle. The dog alerted because they are trained to satisfy their handler's suspicions. He didn't find any drugs because there weren't any.

The story sounds bizarre, but it's the policing in our country that is bizarre, not the story.
The thing is you don't actually need that much javascript.

Ad hominem is not a useful or contentful response. Again, an attempt at ridicule over engaging with the ideas and content itself. I made a perfectly polite but strong objection on style and justification grounds.

Your second half warrants response. The content of his response is irrelevant to the important point I raise, which unlike your ad hominem is about ensuring better more rational discussion: I think he's making a poor representation and skewing the average response with underhand rhetoric. 'Uh yeah' starts something less than useful. Using emotion, not reason. HN is about polite reasonable discourse.

I have no _strong_ opinion YET (edit for emphasis, I'm thinking about this) on the actual literal content of the arguments at this juncture, though that may change as I read others' justifications, theories, data and references.

Edit: My response is important for the content, as rhetorical tricks impact reception and evaluation of content.

I object to emotive skews.
There are ways to cache responses defined in HTTP standard since first version. No fancy HTML5 features is required for that.

(And if you meant using hashes to use cache for resources from different domains - there probably will be many misses because every website can use different library versions, they can compress or bundle libraries etc).

Isn't that beside the point? If you have all this money and they only suspect you have it, give you some court order for the money, then even if they can't get hands on the money neither can you.

Furthermore with the push for "Online identity" they could just seize all your data storage and your various account information sets. Maybe your Ident never touched any of your personal hardware, or maybe you opened access to your hardware and pumped so many Idents through your confident they wont be able to figure out which is yours.

I think there is one more meaning missing on your list is "understood", a more general cousin of "familiar".

Usually "boring" can mean that not only you are familiar with it, but that many people are, therefore there will always be people to help you.
I don't see how you take it that way. Experience with containers will be very valuable over the next decade, and anyone with experience will have an advantage over someone with no experience. There's not one binary moment where all of a sudden technology X is mature and stable. Docker has been around over 3 years, and the underlying technology many years before that. Although Docker is having trouble on the orchestration side, the container format is quite ubiquitous already, so I'd say it's highly unlikely that Docker will completely disappear in the medium term. Finally, it's not all or nothing, Docker solves a lot of problems today in certain configuration, you don't even necessary have to productionize anything as it's quite useful in purely dev scenarios. Even in a worst case scenario where Docker becomes completely irrelevant, you've learned something about what works and doesn't work with containers.

There's obviously a choice where you want to pick things up on the adoption curve, so maybe you're more conservative than me, but my underlying point is that it is possible to find a balance and you can still advance your skillset even if you pick something that doesn't necessarily stick around for the long haul.

When I was living in Beijing, I would do a few transpacific flights a year. Even Seattle was 12 hours away...

Supersonic flights make total sense for long hauls...it could make places like Australia or New Zealand "much closer" and less isolated.

Given that you are flying mainly short hauls, this isn't a feature designed for you.
Related to your point about your ideal sort of business, I enjoyed reading Rand Fishkin's reflections on his experience with Moz. On raising money[1]:

> As a result, the behavior VCs generally need to encourage is growth at any cost. If a company burns out trying to become that 100X star in the portfolio, it’s OK. But if they choose to grow slow and steady and build a sustainable but not particularly dominant business over 10–15 years, that’s non-ideal for the portfolio or the fund’s returns.

Four years is not the long haul when talking about a new currency.
Well, you could already AOT compile with NGEN, even though it isn't an optimizing compiler and requires dynamic linking.

Or Mono.

But I am with you, when Java and .NET came out, in both cases I thought it was a missing opportunity not having a full set AOT/JIT options similar to other languages.

You could get them, but NGEN required the framework to be present anyway and on Java's case the only good AOT compilers have always been commercial.

So I would remember Turbo Pascal, Delphi, Eiffel and many others with some envy.
But it can't really be truly anonymous, not if you want people to actually use it. At the end of the day you need at least some assurance that you're sending the money to the right person in exchange for their good or service. They also need to be able to verify that they have been paid for their work and by whom.

Update: We talked to Andy Lutomirski who was involved in reverse-engineering the original exploit and tracking down the bug. He says the code path is not triggered by regular memory writes; you have to go through ptrace() or /proc/self/mem. Details in this blog post:

https://sandstorm.io/news/2016-10-25-cve-2016-5195-dirtycow-...

Of course, if you have evidence to the contrary, we'd all like to know about it!

(You are technically correct that the writes can come from another thread rather than another process, but the important part is that it has to go through one of those interfaces.)
The rest of them I don't care about, but I use the play/pause and volume keys often.
Where did you get this financial data for your first project? Is it a public feed / API? This sounds like exactly the sort of thing that I would like to start playing and eventually working with.

One of the issues with airplanes in general but especially with the Concorde at high altitude was radiation [1][2]. Would a carbon-fiber plane protect better or worse than an aluminum plane? My intuition tells me that aluminum is much better at shielding from radiation than carbon-fiber.

The Concorde was flying between 45,000 and a maximum altitude of 60,000 feet. If Boom flies at 60,000 feet, radiation is also going to be a bigger issue. I'm curious how the engineers are planning to address this.
