Fair. My point is a lot more valid if you are tying to put something that needs a lot of space, like hvac. Wires are probably not that difficult to get in.
> Microsoft gave a big pile of cash to Docker to figure out how to make Windows based Docker images.

Actually Microsoft has been contributing quite a bit to the OCI (Open Container Initiative), as well as Docker. So they have been putting in the work. I'm not really partial to Microsoft, but they do have some good engineers that are working on free software.
I was under the impression that only the distribution of any changes you make including the original code would be unlawful in this regard. Can someone clarify?
Yes, scope is very easy to learn, which is why it's so damning when you encounter someone who claims multiple years of experience with Javascript, and doesn't understand the most-basic fundamentals of scoping.
>Being proficient in graphics doesn't mean you are an artist.

I guess according to you having a degree from an art school is a necessary and sufficient condition for being an artist.
are you trolling ?

> That would be worse for consumers - and creators.

that would be sad if "creators" had to try harder to make better content that made me want to pay for it, you know, like Game of Thrones did.
Nobody's saying you can't test their ability to program. You can ask questions about programming without having them solve some problem from freshman data structures class. You can ask them how they do their current job, and ask for specifics about code they've written. You can ask them to review pieces of code to see how they would improve or change them. You can ask them for a code sample, and then have them walk you through it to be sure they understand it as well. There are many other less insulting options that still give you the chance to "hear the musician play." As an analogy, you probably wouldn't hire Wynton Marsalis and ask him to play "Happy Birthday" in an interview. You would probably ask for some samples of his music, or links to videos of him playing, etc.
personally, Dali's theater museum is my favorite museum in the whole world and definitely something to check if you are in barcelona/figueres
Picasso's paintings sell for tens of millions of dollars. I guess he's not qualified enough to be called an artist by you.
He says in the interview that a global adversary like the NSA just needs to cross index a unique characteristic about yourself to de-anonymize your identity, even if you're using TOR.

This is a perfectly valid claim.

Yes, if you cherry pick the right projection for a particular route you'll get something like that, which is exactly what I said. But plot Johannesburg to Sydney on the same map.

What I said is impossible is to have a map where all routes between pairs of points look sensible. It gets worse if you optimize for other factors, like making maps equal-area, conformal, rectilinear, etc.
Your comment reminded me of my uncle who considers his photography to be real art but photoshop to be a cheap commercial endeavor.

> You'll see most economists advocating a consumption tax, instead.

I was under the impression that a land value tax was the most widely supported amongst economists (due to its efficiency, lack of distorting effects, and difficulty in avoiding).

> Both the "pumping up asset prices" and "while doing nothing for the real economy" is extremely disputable. It's kind of pompous of you to think you know better than the team of PhDs at the Fed, too.

See Richard Koo regarding balance sheet recessions for a less pompous assertion that QE does little to help. There are plenty of other eminent economists such as Mr Koo who also disagree with the FED's 'team of PhD's'.
I'm glad we figured out how to pin this on millennials.
Some great approaches here!

I like the medium-like bar on the left to browse blocks. Checking the boxes next to the blocks you want to show is a neat way to make a view of just the functions you want to look at. Putting it in a browser, like iPython/Jupyter improves accessibility for people whose main job is not developing software (the Eve demo makes a good example of being able to pass an analytics view to a teammate in marketing).

I do find myself wondering how a literate programming system like this would scale for a large project (I expect the Eve team have thought about this more than I can imagine).

Great polish on the demo, too :)
Just as a counterpoint; Sennheiser HD25 headphones connect from the right headphone in the default configuration, however there are plenty of replacement cables of various types, some of which may change this. I agree that its quite unusual though.
Granting that the Venn diagram of "libertarian" and "Objectivist" is a contentious matter, Ayn Rand was very outspoken in her support of copyrights and patents, and one of the plots of the villainous collectivists in Atlas Shrugged was to nationalize all patents.
Thanks for the article, I graduated from Art Center College of Design in Pasadena and have seen similar issues with skyrocketing tuition costs [1]. In addition, I have also noticed an equally alarming decrease in the average age of the student body going from late 20’s to the now common immediate post high school age being the norm.

I feel like that is particularly troubling as younger students that may not know if they want to be in the field over the long term end up being saddled with crippling $200,000+ debt.

You also listed some excellent resources in gaining skills for creative trade work but, to be honest, I don’t know if I agree that these can act as a complete replacement particularly in entertainment design, industrial design, interactive art or even UI/UX due to the scope of knowledge needed to be competent in these fields.

I personally think there is starting to be an uptick in doing only part of a program where students will only do two years of a four-year degree to get the networking and skill benefits with less debt. This is a pretty bitter pill to swallow though as you end could easily end up paying $100,000+ for no degree...

In any case, I would be really interested in hearing more of your thoughts on trade specific strategies for creative education.

The answer to your question is yes. I would rather the stack, or at least most of it, stayed stable for 10 years. The problem seems to be that the JS community keeps re-discovering the wheel at every step, instead of actually looking at other ecosystems and learning from them.

How log did it take for a sane build system to show up? Or a sane package manager (with dependency resolution, upgrades, checksums, signature verification, etc.)? Why is Grunt/Gulp a thing when we have thinks like make/CMake?

The technology is not changing, in the sense that the state of the art is not really changing. In the past 15 years the biggest paradigm shift has really been towards single page apps, ES6-7, and TDD. The rest has existed as state of the art in many other ecosystems, but the JS community is notorious for having a bad case of NIH syndrome, so it's taking forever to get to the state of the art.

The good news is that it will slow down at some point. The bad news is that it probably won't be for a few years.

Well, it's like how people used to not care about leaving their wifi access points unprotected back in the day.

By that description, it sounds like a Bogeyman [1] to me.

Anyway, I live in a mostly Capitalist system, and it's also authoritarian. The only thing that seems to keep it from spiraling into complete evil is that a democratic Leviathan [2] happens to rule over it. (Of course, the capitalism is always in a constant assault for control).

What's funny to me is that I have several neighbors who fervently describe themselves as pro-capitalist libertarians. Yet, when I'm out of coffee or I need my driveway plowed, they do it for free. Why is that? Probably because we are all friends and have common culture and mutual trust.

When people invoke the idea of communism they usually mean: why can't we all have a society where we all act as neighbors. Sure, that's a daunting goal, of course. But, it's no less impossible as when people invented the idea of the social contract. Or any of the other million inventions that people said were crazy or impossible.

You should be asking whether this is legal (but you shouldn't be asking HN, you should be asking a lawyer). For example, even if you didn't copy any code, you might end up using trade secrets or confidential information (like a client list) that belongs to the current business, or you might have signed a non-compete agreement that's enforceable in your state. It's possible you'll be sued, and certain actions you take or don't take may affect the outcome.

As for whether you're being a dick, I don't know. I'd guess the guy who runs the business might think so, and harbor a grudge against you. On the other hand, lots of businesses are started by people working for other business, and they end up competing with those businesses (e.g., a chef who leaves a restaurant to start their own business is probably going to start a competing restaurant near by).

If as some have commented, parts of the MIT license attribution were removed, Automattic might not have been legally allowed to distribute the software either.

I would hesitate to ascribe identical motivations to everyone involved in instituting marriage bars; I expect that there was a variety of reasons people did it. Some people probably did feel like they were doing good for society.

But the effects were somewhat pernicious, because as usual people didn't think about second-order effects. Or in some cases first-order ones, like women delaying marriage so they would not lose their job.
No, both they and their competitors are equally advantaged once the invention has been made. What paents give them is not freedom from disadvantage; it is an artificial advantage to justify making the investment.

Society/the government is ostensibly afraid nobody will invent if they are not artificially advantaged. Those with working intellect consider that trade secrets are enough of a protection against competition.
Or just come to Australia where a three year fine arts degree can be found for about AU 12 grand per year. Fees will vary depending on the Uni.

Australian students pay less because the government contributes some of the cost. We might pay 10 grand per year instead of 12 in above example.

I regret studying a BA at age 18. The internet wasnt quite around yet and I just didnt care about anything. I went to Art School after the BA and have no regrets. Art School is an awesome thing to do in your early twenties. Its where I figured out a few very important things.

Online resources are amazing now but its important to have that human interaction life experience when formulating your creative foundations. Mingling with other students and lecturers is to mingle with ideas and opportunities.
Odd no one has mentioned this, but it seems likely that Google is going to make a play disrupting the market for live event video. On one side is an infrastructure play by expanding GCP to include many video-specific capabilities for streaming, transcoding, distribution, etc., following their acquisition of Anvato.

The other side would be helping all those producers to reach consumers (expanding the Play Store?) and possibly doing a revshare on targeted video advertising by expanding Adsense For Video or the equivalent.

The only question in my mind is whether Google intends to become the Netflix of live streaming events, or if they will be content to remain a market-maker (AdSense/AdWords has worked out rather well).

I probably have some details wrong, but clearly something is going to happen in this space. Check out this job posting for example, and draw your own conclusions:

Welp, meant to reply, then completely forgot...

> OpenBSD dropped 32-bit sparc support. And 32-bit Intel CPU support only? MirOS isn't interested in supporting any modern hardware. So yeah, why bother with SMP...

This sort of thing confuses me a lot. I see it like a total waste of effort to go to the lengths of maintaining a UNIX (BSD) variant (kernel and everything) if your work isn't going to have a real-world use... I mean locking yourself into x86_32 and SPARC is basically a death knell, nobody will consider the software as a serious product.

> OpenBSD's hardware support back then wasn't bad. It's just that you'd definitely want to check that what you were buying was supported before you bought it rather than just assume everything's going to work.

Ah, like Linux was at one point. Makes total sense.

> The OpenSSH fork was based off the last BSD licensed release of SSH.

Ah, makes sense.

> SSH authors decided to adopt a more restrictive license. Within 5 years 90% of internet facing SSH servers were running OpenSSH.

Heh. Like the egcc war thing...

> The deal with OpenBSD is that it's great if you do the same things as their developers. If not then you're out of luck.

Sounds like Google :P ("nah, don't think anybody's using Reader or Wave"...)

> Apparently they like building networks and closing the lids of their laptops.

And now I'm imagining half-second clips of those two things happening one after the other, in an infinite loop...

> Regarding different operating systems SMP support and your question of interrupt handling, you should consult OS architecture books.

OH, so THAT's why people design OSes... I finally get it. To properly make sense of hardware, and also understand the practical issues of multitasking and such. Thanks, I've always been torn about starting a toy OS project, I finally see the rationale behind it now, will definitely be poking the subject at some point (probably for multiple architectures, too!).

> In a nutshell for SMP:

> (...)

> Linux, FreeBSD, Windows, and Solaris for example, have all solved this problem much better than OpenBSD has for a long time. OpenBSD has only begun to address this quite recently.

Hah. I see. (Where might I read about the work they're doing?)

> In a nutshell for interrupt handling: Say you're routing frames between several Ethernet interfaces. Nevermind a proper firewall which would be much worse, you're just bridging like a switch.
When a frame comes in on a port you get an interrupt and context switch into the kernel. Then you have to read at least the destination address into main memory so you can compare it to your MAC table and know how to handle it. Then you need to copy the whole frame to the appropriate outputs. This is very slow compared to the CAM table lookup that dedicated switch hardware uses. Even though a general purpose CPU can do some really impressive things, if you add enough network interfaces and a high enough packet rate to a PC it won't keep up.

That's... not really an easy problem to solve, I get it now.

Thanks for the explanations!
I call that an ego boner.
Color-coding would have helped solve the cable mess, especially for users who are not tech-savvy. Imagine if USB-C were green, Thunderbolt were blue, Lightning was yellow, and DisplayPort red. If you have a rat's nest of cables behind your desk, it becomes easier to tell what's what, which makes it more manageable and less frustrating.

Also easier to guide non-tech-savvy family and friends on the phone: "See the red cable? Is one end plugged into the monitor?"
"Yes"
"Good, now plug the other end into the laptop."

is a better conversation than:

"There are a dozen cables here, all alike!"
It's much, much better to burn fossil fuels for heat than to burn fossil fuels to spin turbines, transmit the electricity long distances, and then run it "back" through heating elements. Stages one and two are pretty lossy.

Particularly when electricity is from coal and natural gas power plants, using it for heating is a staggeringly bad idea.

> If you allow anything to be a TLD the root servers need to know about everything, which isn't really feasible

I wonder about that: The number of TLDs in my scenario would be approximately equal to the number of user-registered[0] domains now.

The .com root servers already need to know a large fraction of all 'user-registered' domains, and will need to scale to a much larger set of data as the number of domains grows.

Therefore, I expect that scaling to all 'user-registered' domains wouldn't exceed the root servers' capacity.

[0] I can't think of the technical term at the moment, but domains such as ycombinator.com, bbc.co.uk, ox.ac.uk, etc. Second-level isn't quite correct (see the .uk examples), and I know parsing the user-registered part is a bit of a challenge; see https://publicsuffix.org.
Never heard of them before but apparently they have been around since 2004 and they support 450k websites and their only revenue model is advertising. I doubt they had a solid technical and business plan behind this service.
Use root servers like we do now. I'm not asking about doing away with DNS completely, just TLDs.
