There are mountains of good and bad info on meditation. Here is a primer on mindfulness as I understand it from Ronald Siegel (Assistant Clinical Professor of Psychology at Harvard Medical School, author etc)

The human brain has two default modes of operation and you have very little control over them. They exist because they offered an evolutionary advantage in much more dangerous times, but don't necessarily promote a sense of well being/happiness in a modern relatively safe world.
a) Pleasure seeking and pain avoidance
b)Self referential thought ("Am I good enough, smart enough and do people like me?")

Mindfulness offers a third option. Relaxed open awareness with general acceptance. It can be done my anchoring awareness on a physical sensation like the breath. You won't be able to hold your concentration there very long before you realize you're thinking of something else. You are mindful when you realize your mind had drifted and you bring it back to your anchor.

It offers tons of well studied and documented benefits like increased activity in the left prefrontal cortex with is good for reasons that google can tell you.

A note from my experience. Expect the timeline of benefits to be similar to starting a cardio or weight training program. Your first few times may seem like a waste of time but the benefits start piling up after a few weeks.
> You left out the part where they told you this perceived issue did not impact their codebase, due to how they were using the upstream project you cited.

This is completely irrelevant. Vulnerable dependencies are vulnerable dependencies, and trying to avoid updates because you're "not affected" is a really good way to get owned.

This is for the exact same reason that "yes, there's an XSS vulnerability in the admin panel, but that doesn't matter because it requires an admin login" is invalid. At some point, somebody is going to combine multiple "unexploitable" vulnerabilities or exploitation paths that you overlooked, and successfully compromise your system.

A vulnerable dependency means that you need to update that dependency, full stop. No exceptions.

The Lost Civilization of Dial-Up Bulletin Board Systems
Yeah, there is a -webkit prefix there as well for Chrome and Safari, which it works fine in.
Couldn't agree more. This is the reason I haven't started to recommend Docker for production use yet to our clients. We are pretty happy with only having a single JAR deployments for all of the services, running with separate users that cannot access anything else than the service folder. I am considering using runC probably starting early next year, seeing the amount of problems with dockerd makes me nervous about introducing it to any team.
It's not quite ready for production yet. There are still some bugs with dev dependencies and private repos that need to be addressed before we can use it.
> Most programs should not place arbitrary boundaries on the number of objects they'll operate on

I think this can be argued both ways. The classic stateless pipe programs, sure, they can take as many lines as you want. User-facing programs? It can be worth imposing fairly small limits just so you don't have to worry about pathological behavior and security risks. (What happens if someone pastes a million lines of text into a small box, etc)
Health and Wellness Startup Competition
One thing you wrote made me curious: That good wine box -- will a wine box from another batch also impress as much? I assume one of the problems with the cheap stuff is the std deviation values?

I might add that I got a Moldovan 2 bucks wine in a PET bottle this week and quite liked it. :-)

(I prefer dry red Spanish that you almost have to chew (I think the English term i s "rich"?). I should probably just admit defeat and replace the wine with a bit of vodka in espresso. :-) )

Edit: Hmm, I guess the cheap stuff is blended in giant volumes and hence consistent? Thanks for the information, lisper. I should try to widen my experience.
Any numbers available re performance improvements due to binary Velocypack/Velocystream transport??
By the way, this is an incredible example of scientific writing done well. It's very tangible jelly-like feeling that the author clearly has for the topic, conveyed well to the readers. This whole thread is people excited about a video codec!
Generally, don't touch anything with mediatek or allwinner if you want it to work at the end of the day. Their driver support is very bad. Funny personal story, I turned down a contract almost four years ago that would have involved getting 3D running on an Allwinner based board. Four years later and CHIP is demoing an "Alpha" of 3D on Allwinner.

Meanwhile even hardware accelerated 3D and video decoding works on the Broadcom SoCs in the Pi, and has for years.

Mediatek and Allwinner are cheap, but useless.
I don't get it. Is that a Kiwi joke?
I wouldn't exactly call New Zealand expensive? It's more expensive than say, south-east Asia (or similar regions), but then most places are.

I would consider it cheaper than the US and parts of the EU for most things. Exceptions being certain imports (like cars) being more expensive due to the cost associated with shipping them.
From experience this doesn't hold for smaller tech devices, for example I priced up a camera there vs my current residents (Dublin, Ireland) and it was about $1,000NZD cheaper to purchase in NZ (most likely due to being parallel imported from South East Asia).

Reference: grew-up in NZ, and have been living in Dublin for the last year.
The ultimate NIMBYs. The same people that are responsible for the many uncertainties multinational corporations bring and therefore stimulate the dangerous populism in this global age now go to Queenstown, have a pint and wait for this to all blow over.

Money does not buy style if you see all those new houses by the way...
Microsoft only sold 5%, and Gates says they never used the money.
Same here. Mozilla giving up on this is really disappointing to me. When I first heard about it, I was really excited about how it provided more privacy that OAuth/OpenID, but the impression I got from reading the mozilla documentation/blogs was that the javascript client and mozilla operated servers were a temporary stop-gap to facilitate faster development, but sacrificed some of the benifits that the final end-goal would provide. Given that, I spent the time reading the whitepaper and playing with the API to give me a headstart, but delayed integrating it into production websites, because I thought that they were saying it wasn't production ready yet. Then they canceled the project because not enough people were using it.
I quit my job at facebook too, now i'm unemployed.

The Best Hacks: All Startup Hacks You'll Need to Scale Fast
In general (convention in mathematical papers)
Fair points but at some point you have to ask yourself at what cost to the business, especially if you are a small shop. Implementing all new trendy frameworks & over-engineered setup comes at a cost.

I am not at all opposed to using new and shiny. I use new frameworks, etc. in my business often but there is a balance. I generally stick to boring and proven for business crucial stuff (especially back-end) and new/shiny for not so crucial. OR sometimes a new framework is the best decision for the business. In that case, that framework wins.

I guess I feel as a business owner, I have a responsibility to do what is right for the business and our customers. If a developer doesn't want to work on what is right for the business or our customers, I don't want that developer.

I was actually just parroting claims of message arrival time/sync inconsistencies in this thread. I don't use the app too much, in part because nearly everyone I know uses Skype instead of Discord, but I've never personally experienced a bug.

My personal biggest gripe is the lack of easy searching. I rely on it a lot, and Skype usually does an okay job at it (even though it can often be slow and tends to lag the UI).
With HyperContainer, we make the performance/overhead of virtualized container similar to linux container --- 130ms launch time, and sharing the read-only part of memory (kernel and init). As a result, we can use it as a more secure container.
Can moaning ever make you happy?
“The world is heading into a major crisis,” said Internet entrepreneur Kim Dotcom in an Oct. 31 Twitter post. “I saw it coming and that’s why we moved to New Zealand. Far away & not on any nuclear target list.”

I don't understand this whole dichotomy between art and science. Or why people are so insistent that they are mutually exclusive. Science is an art, taking part in this myth hurts both art and science as a whole.

The UK has two problems:

1. We need lots of skilled people.

2. We have lots of people lacking skills.

Importing talent solves problem (1) (and grows the economy and is generally and genuinely a good thing). But problem (2) remains. Why not try to solve both at once?
Analytics for Git (open for beta testers)
In terms of a public cloud service, you (customer) don't care. You pay for the amount of memory you used, whether there is one kernel, or many of them, is irrelevant.
That is amazing. (Go look! A Python decorator that edits the bytecode...)
AC is conceptually stupidly simple. All you do is encode a string of symbols into a range of real numbers.

To start your range is [0, 1). For each symbol you want to encode you take your range and split it up according to your probabilities. E.g. if your symbols are 25% A, 50% B and 25% C, then you split up that range in [0, 0.25) for A, [0.25, 0.75) for B and [0.75, 1) for C.

Encoding multiple symbols is just applying this recursively. So to encode the two symbols Bx we split up [0.25, 0.75) proportionally just like we did [0, 1) before to encode x (where x is A, B or C).

As an example, A is the range [0, 0.25), and AC is the range [0.1875, 0.25).

Now to actually turn these ranges into a string of bits we choose the shortest binary representation that fits within the range. If we look at a decimal number:

0.1875

We know that this means 1/10 + 8/100 + 7/1000 + 5/10000. A binary representation:

0.0011

This means 0/2 + 0/4 + 1/8 + 1/16 = 0.1875. So we encode AC as 0011.

---

The beauty of arithmetic coding is that after encoding/decoding any symbol we can arbitrarily change how we split up the range, giving rise to adaptive coding. Arithmetic coding can perfectly represent any data that forms a discrete string of symbols, including changes to our knowledge of data as we decode.
> My first encounter with docker goes back to early 2015. Docker was experimented with to find out whether it could benefit us. At the time it wasn’t possible to run a container [in the background] and there wasn’t any command to see what was running, debug or ssh into the container. The experiment was quick, Docker was useless and closer to an alpha prototype than a release.

Anyone who has used docker at all knows the above statement is 200% rubbish. FFS
In its current state probably not. It's already almost turned into facebook. If it's going to rollback to 2009's state, then maybe.

Also, community in my corner of its social graph is heavily degraded. Everyone tries to make stupid sarcastic jokes and everything else is being shamed and silenced.

So I think it's unrecoverable.

But no WiFi - that's the big difference here imo.

The owners shouldn't be filing a lawsuit. They should pay for an engineer to assess the damages and see if it's possible to fix the building, and depending on the results file a claim with their insurance company to pay for the work. The insurance company then has the resources to pursue any lawsuit, against either the city or the developer.
I think Docker can somewhat be seen as a generalized term like Linux. Linux doesn't write EXT4 but it is often referred to as "Linux filesystem".

Docker has been actively trying to become to household brand name for containers so it's difficult for me to give them a pass with your line of reasoning.

> Re Persistent Data: You are probably going to have a tough time if you try to do persistent data. Containers really excel at stateless tasks(or temporary state like caching). Certainly it's doable but for someone early in their adoption the proper toe in the water is probably the stateless business logic not the state layer.
Yes, but locking you into a plan in a time when plan features and pricing are almost constantly improving.
Top 5 Storage acquisitions in first half of 2016

I don't disagree that they had some students that would be otherwise difficult to reach as recruits, just that they would have had trouble getting enough money per student given that most of the market has low/no costs in providing anything to future employees. The need to provide personal tutoring for inclusiveness was really the nail in the grave for profitably and had nothing to do with that market of recruits.

Reasonably, they had a max of 5k per matched employee which would only be fraction of students that complete a program and even want a new job in one of a handful of places in the US. Competing recruiters would collectively take more than half those students, especially when the students were already in industry and not completing whole tracks.

I also think the sponsored courses backfire as these things are out of date immediately and/or completely irrelevant in most of the market; they probably had to turn most down to prevent alienating students that trust udacity to recommend learning paths.
That's because if you want your party to win you nominate a moderate.
That is the traditional thinking indeed, but not all VMs are born equal. Check out the underlying tech here: https://docs.hypercontainer.io/
I don't know whether there's any relationship here -- at all.

But I'm reminded of concern that the earth's magnetic field may be destabilizing with transient weakening and variability, in advance of its reversal. This concern has been gradually mounting for a number of years, but so far as I know, there is no overriding, conclusive analysis, yet.
I can see a lot of inflammatory content here - vague accusations about "tire fire" filesystems and how Linux users are "faithful" zealots, blind to the truth, that will have to "admit" their folly and implicitly humble themselves before "the rest of us", whoever they are. And baiting a bad response, as you ask people to "downvote away" as if you want to inspire anger. All of this is needlessly confrontational. You don't need to insult your opposition to make your point.

Well, it depends for the kind of job you're aiming for.

I wouldn't be surprised if Apple themselves didn't think of it until after they had resolved to manufacture and sell a smartphone. Once you are determined to do something, the act of doing it combined with motivation enables you to identify and solve problems.
I pay around 80nzd/mo for unlimited . Latency is not awesome. That was literally the only thing I was worried about moving back to NZ "how well will Netflix work and will managing servers drive me nuts". Netflix is still awesome, the round trip to US based servers is noticeable - 130ms west coast. That said I get home from work in the largest city and go for a swim in beautiful bay 2 mins walk from my door ...
The same thing happened in the US to Craftsman tools, the line sold by (now rapidly vanishing) retailer Sears. For decades the Craftsman name was synonymous with high quality, reliable tools -- a reputation also shared by other Sears house brands, like Kenmore appliances and DieHard automotive batteries. Then Sears got a new CEO, production got shipped to China and the quality of all those brands dropped through the proverbial floor. And all the cost-cutting didn't even help turn the company around; if anything, Sears went under faster afterwards than it had been doing before.

Nearly a century of brand value destroyed in a few years, to no positive purpose whatsoever. What a waste.
Yes but has any website ever done any of this?

Docker in Production: How we did it wrong

This is a typical case of blaming the tool. There are so many bad practices mentioned I don't know where to start. No orchestration... One container a host... Not using volumes correctly... Apt-get installing docker every time ci runs... Not using an optimized base os for containers... It's amazing what people will blame their problems on when they don't do their due dilligence with a new platform.
Fantastic. As a NZ expat currently resident in London it's depressing the way global market conditions have sent house prices skyrocketing in the places I'd like to live. My partner and I are doing well here, and we plan to go back to NZ one day, but in just 6 years since my partner's brother was here what we'd go back to has changed immeasurably.

He and his partner managed to come over here when the pound was worth $3 NZD, rent was cheaper, save well and move back to Auckland when houses were depressed (2009-2010). Since then they rode the wave and now have a beautiful home with a view straight down the Waitemata harbour.

My partner and I? We came here when the pound was at $2.10ish, not so bad I thought, not as good, but y'know, we make good money, we can deal with it. Then BREXIT. BOOM. Now the pound is $1.70, our salaries are, of course, still the same. Also a shithole house in Auckland in a bad suburb now costs at least $700k NZD - the first house that my partner's brother bought cost $650k NZD, in a nice suburb on transport links.

The world is mad.

Between the wires interviews Vue.js creator Evan You
Here is the smoking gun, showing that this organization shot itself in the foot:

> Docker first came in through a web application. At the time, it was an easy way for the developers to package and deploy it. They tried it and adopted it quickly.

Unless you've got a lot of spare time on your hands, it's never a good idea to adopt unfamiliar tools where they're not needed. Stick to your traditional deployment techniques unless you're equipped, and have the time, to take a roller coaster ride.

Docker is young software.

That said, it seems the author did experience many legitimate breaking changes and abandoned projects. It would be great to hear a perspective from someone on the Docker team about how breaking changes are managed, how regressions are tracked, how OS packaging is handled (e.g. the dependencies the author mentioned wrt filesystems, as well as the bad GPG signature), etc.
In the major cities you can get unlimited fiber with 100Mbit/s connection for around $90 NZD a month.

> The system can not generate the key required to decrypt your data unless you are logged in. Our staff have no means of accessing your data at any given time.

If this is true, how can your service work? If I'm dead, I can't log in to generate a decryption key so my message can be sent in the clear.

If your service works, how can this be true? If it can decrypt and send my message in the clear when I'm dead, I very evidently don't need to log in for decryption to occur.
