> If I recall correctly, CentOS and RHEL will use the device-mapper driver by default and CoreOS the btrfs

CentOS & RHEL uses device-mapper with loopback device by default (and logs "Usage of loopback devices is strongly discouraged for production use. Either use --storage-opt dm.thinpooldev or use --storage-opt dm.no_warn_on_loop_devices=true to suppress this warning". Also related article [1]

CoreOS uses overlayfs by default now from a while [2]

Because the tanks are using the default unit AI, which AFAIK amounts to "when your weapon is ready to fire, shoot the closest enemy in range". The zergling AI knows the attack range and rate of each tank so can ensure that the closest zergling is always on its own when a tank is ready to fire.

What would be really interesting is putting a similar smart AI on the tanks, which could make decisions like shooting at the highest concentration of zerglings instead of the closest one, or holding its fire if one lone zergling is in range, but a clump of them is about to enter range.

Human players already do both optimizations with widow mines, which are a unit that takes several seconds to prepare its shot so it's feasible to retarget. It's not feasible for humans to do this with tanks though as they fire immediately and automatically.

You could even see counterevolution as two AI algorithms become better at predicting what the other will do.

An AI doesn't know or care about any of this.
Literally its applying statistics to optimize a cost function or assign labels to input states.
These numbers could represent number of kills or number of dollars; the computer doesn't care.

My problem is Apple doesn't even sell an iOS device that comes with a USB C to Lightning cable. How the hell am I supposed to use Safari's web inspector, or record the screen, or profile my app?

Sure, I can buy another cable, but I feel like Apple should be swapping out Lighting<->USB A cables with the USB C equivilient for free.

I'd love to see a e-sport league where the teams are AI human hybrids (Centaur teams). We know that AI human hybrid teams are great at chess [1],
and I'd love to see rts games played by 'Centaur' teams. In the same way the innovations made in F1 often trickle down to consumer cars, can you imagine the advances that could be made in human-machine interactions in the crucible of a real-time Centaur gaming league?

I feel the same way about all those things.
Banning of DDT has led to literally millions of deaths due to malaria. Those who advocated for it and still do today are genocidal monsters.

So that one should probably be under your "gets it wrong" category.
You "allow" it by doing something that can potentially give an error without handling it there. I'm referring to the parent's recommendation "Don't catch errors unless you can actually handle them" .. and why you wouldn't handle them. You should always handle them. To put it another way, I disagree with the design decision of depending a top level/global exception handler.
It's a great idea to have standardized extensions. I am a fan of IDE/client-side code checking. With standard Swaggers, we could check if parameter values are valid. However, it may not be possible to check the invocation flows (e.g. /login is required before /checkout) since it's not in the swagger. If they could be provided as extensions in a standard way, existing code checking tools can easily consume them.
There is a lot of discussion on HN (in this thread and in many others) about what we will do when technology replaces a significant fraction of our jobs. People are talking about a 10%, 50%, or even 99% reduction in the workforce size due to technological advances (mostly AI).

I totally reject the conclusion that the workforce will be significantly reduced by any imminent technology. Look at humans throughout history. We have continuously invented ways to automate (or nearly automate) away the labor behind our needs and desires, but people have been working 40+ hour weeks since the industrial revolution. It seems that our wants and needs advance as quickly, or even more quickly, than our ability to meet them with technology.

I think a good analogy (for this crowd) is personal computing. Every year our computers get much faster, yet the overall "speed" of the experience remains about the same. Why? Because as soon as we get our hands on a new CPU we go and write a program that requires more CPU power, rather than simply watching our old programs run faster. I don't think there is anyone out there running Netscape on Windows XP on top of a brand new Intel Processor with 32GB of RAM.

I think we are being a combination of overconfident and unimaginative when we think we are on the brink of a technological utopia where DeepMind AI does our job for us. We are unable to imagine the wants we will have in the future. This is by definition, if we could imagine them we'd have already started working towards them!

I will present a concrete example, one that's overused but still effective. Consider the smartphone. This is a device that is pocketable, affordable to ~50% of the world's population, and can answer nearly any factual query in seconds. I think if you had told someone in the 90s about that they would assume we'd have vastly more leisure time. We'd have fired all the librarians, replaced the teachers with machines, and our children could complete 12 years of education at home in a fraction of the time. But of course this is not what happened. In fact we created more work for ourselves, I bet half the people in this thread are employed by a company that makes software for smartphones. We didn't know we'd want 100 apps and games on each phone, but now that we're here we won't easily give them up.

I don't mean any of the above to sound negative. This is a wonderful thing! This infinite cycle of desire is what has driven us to this point and is what will drive us into the future. But the one negative consequence (in my opinion) is that humans will not soon be a leisurely species. We will keep busy, and we will keep inventing things to busy ourselves with.
Is it elegant when your MBP that you'll keep for 4-6 years has USB-A ports you won't use anymore after two years? If Apple put in 2 USB-A and 2 USB-C, half the ports would probably be useless for the majority of the computer's lifespan.

The reason Trump has so much hype, is because Trump creates enough bad press without the media having to lift a finger. It's easy for them to stir up controversy and bad press because he makes it easy for them.

Almost every statement he makes is geared to generate hype and bad press. Which is working. I've heard more about Trump, what Trump says about Foo, and what Trump says about Hillary, than I have Hillary.

Apple cutting prices on USB-C, Thunderbolt 3 accessories until end of the year
Formula 1 is largely British.
They probably won't do that for a couple of years until USB-C is firmly entrenched. Most iPhone customers aren't using Macbooks.
If they released a computer with two USB-C ports and two USB-A ports, every device manufacturer would continue to release all of their products for USB-A only and say "We've chosen to build our products to be compatible with all the old computers, you can use those USB-A ports for our products and the USB-C ports for somebody else's."

And then 5 years later, nobody's adopted USB-C yet because every computer still has USB-A ports and every accessory manufacturer wants to be as compatible as possible.

Apple is betting that the short-term inconvenience of a few dongles is worth it in order to force every accessory manufacturer to jump on the USB-C train immediately. I can't say I disagree with them.
Seat belts and helmets protect the individual using them, so no they shouldn't be required.

Heroin hurts the individual using, so it should be warned against but not criminalized. You can't stop self harm by inflicting harm on the perpetrator. See also the regulation of marijuana which is a huge waste of money and only creates more problems than it solves. Compare with suicide prevention.

Vaccines protect the population as a whole through herd immunity, so are different from your other examples.

Honestly the accuracy of pointing just feels much better too even when not clicking but that's quite hard to quantify.

From my experience, managerial types in general seem to not think much at all about whether programming is boring or not. They usually concern themselves with other things. But those who do, and, worse yet, find programming exciting - those are the ones that tend to wreak havok and end up inflicting the biggest damage.
Most of the comments are completely missing the point of the article. I thought it was pretty self explanatory. He's talking about the part where you write code.

I don't get pleasure from writing code. It is actually kinda boring...you've (mostly) already figured out what you're going to do and you're just typing. Most of the time you're fighting against the limitations of whatever programming environment/language/framework you may be using. It's more boring the more familiar I'm with the problem I'm working on.

I get excited when I finish and I see the actual impact of people actually using something I created. Or when I'm in the problem solving mode and I'm learning something new.

That's why I enjoy being a software engineer, not because I spend all day typing on a keyboard.
Historically, Apple has always dropped declining tech, even if they were at their prime. See also Floppy Disks, dedicated keyboard/mouse ports, Firewire. This is not the issue.

Using dongles is also not the issue. Having a versatile port is a good thing.

The issue is that they seem to be neglecting common use cases in their own platform. As in, you cannot plug an iPhone to their own computer, not even to charge it. This is inexcusable. At the very least, they've lost control of timing (if the next iphone happens to have a USB-C port).

> Right now, my $1,000 2012 Air has a charger, usb keyboard, usb phone charger, and a usb conference mic plugged into it. I don't even want to imagine carrying around the number of dongles that would allow me to do the same on a 2017 Pro machine.

A single USB-C port can replace all that and more, you can also carry power and video. There's no reason why those can't be provided by a single "dongle". Which would actually be more convenient to carry around.

Would it have killed Apple to include a USB-C to USB3 dongle? I can't believe their margins are that thin.
On the contrary, I think you don't know what the point is in the first place.

Like it or not, if there is a difference between the value of something and the price at which it can trade, eventually someone will come along and trade it until either the price moves back in line, or the value changes.

Hedge fund managers, the ones who abide by the law at least, spend a lot of time trying to find these inefficiencies. That's the nature of the job. Nothing sociopathic about it. In fact, there are many benefits to having a liquid market where (often universally discoverable) pricing reflects the current state of the world.

How do you think airlines hedge their fuel cost and get a sense for the future cost of fuel? How do pension funds determine when they should buy protection for their investments due to high expectations of volatility? They look at the market.

There are institutional traders and investors who manipulate stocks and trade on insider information, sure. They are lawbreakers and their counterparties often report them to the relevant authorities. But even the market manipulators generally have to be somewhat correct, because if not then there is always someone with equal or greater capital willing to take the opposite, better side of the trade. And the further a security's price is impacted, the juicier the opposite side's payday if the first guy gets it wrong.

No offense but I sense that you have a small amount of exposure to the function of the market as a whole, who the participants are, and how they do business. You can't just run around with a label maker that only prints the word "sociopathic" and expect to understand everything.
They map each letter (A-Z) to a single frequency. The range is around 18-19.5 kHz. As far as I know, this range is inaudible to most adults. I couldn't hear it for example. Of course, I may be using the term ultrasonic incorrectly.

> You're forgetting this arrogant display is here for all to witness, including folks who may (or may not, now) want to contract your company in the future. You also seem to forget the very folks behind code.gov are the same ones that influence who gets contracted with the government...

If you base your "security talent" hiring decisions the same way you approach "contract customer service representative decisions, you'll end up with very pleasant people who don't know jack shit about security. Which would explain a lot of the results we're seeing. So you might be right.

> The people working on code.gov and all of the repositories are truly doing something great. Code has been in the federal government for at least 60 years, probably longer - and this is the first time something like code.gov has been produced.

For once, we are in agreement.

OK, why didn't you do that then?

- Tell the other person what to do.
- Do it yourself, because it clearly matters to you.

> unlimited free time is better than 40-80 hours a week devoted to keeping yourself employed

I just want to touch on this last point. I read the rest of your responses, but I think your philosophy boils down to this single misconception.

Unlimited free time doesn't make you any happier than employment.

Dissatisfaction is born out of these relative comparisons you're making and not spending your attention on what matters: constant inner growth through learning and challenging yourself in addition to appreciating what you have. Nobody is forcing you to work, but if you want to maintain your lifestyle, you should make the best of it. Plenty of employed people are happy with their jobs.

I guess it depends on how you interpret the message. In my experience (working at Amazon) it does take a couple of years for a college hire to be efficient on their own. It turns out that even in software there are things to learn that a university does not prepare you for. I'd say it's also a decent mix of technical AND soft-skills that you will learn on the job to work efficiently on your own
I strongly disagree. If I have an 8 disk server at home with mirroring, the pool could only take a single disk failure. The usable space would be 50% of the total disk. Further, I'd have to buy any extra disks in pairs.

If instead I ran RAID6, I'd have 80% of the disk available and I could add disks in single disk increments.

I think ZFS makes great sense for businesses that can throw money at disks but for smaller businesses or home servers it's kinda bad.
I'm probably one of the people you hate. Global warming is real and is accelerated by humans. I still don't give a damn. I will throw all my waste in the trash and drive gasoline vehicles. I'll let someone else fix it.

Why do you specifically enjoy it more than C++? As far as I know, the main goal of Rust is to be safer than C++, not more enjoyable to write.
For sure, FWIW I'm personally an organ donor and broadly agree with your logic. Those are just some times when I feel the choice not to donate organs is valid.

A person's choice is probably always valid regardless of what it is, it's their body at the end of the day. In the normative sense I think everyone should donate their organs, but I'm not sure it can be reasonably codified.
Always fun to see Apple users step out of the RDF and gush over features that Android has had for years (not all of them, but a good chunk of them have been present in Android for a long time now).

Edit: And yes, the UI/UX has changed remarkably little between Lollipop and Nougat, despite the popular memes amongst non-Android users... like the ones already repeated here.

First 2 weeks are the hardest, then it slowly gets easier.

There are few short term advantages to quitting smoking - your sense of smell improves and you have more spare time on your hands - other than that, there's little to brag about.

By going through this short term suffering, you're improving your long term health.

If someone (God) came to you and said: "Hey, I'll add 10 healthy years to your life if you agree to go through a period of feeling shitty and some mental fog and restlessness and nervousness for a couple of months".

I guess we'd all agree to such a deal and it's pretty much the deal you have right now, so hang on.
