Fair point on support and security. Mary Ann Davidson's rant about security on the Oracle blog was indefensible. [1]

While I'm impressed by some of the Oracle engineering there's no question they also know how to squeeze customers just up to the breaking point.

The issue you are referring to happens only if the docker client version is newer than the docker daemon version. In the case where the client is older than the daemon, it has always worked.

Thanks for bringing this issue up though, because we are currently working on a fix. Here is the PR: https://github.com/docker/docker/pull/27745

As for DOCKER_API_VERSION, it is possibly not well documented, but it is indeed present in the documentation: https://docs.docker.com/engine/reference/commandline/cli/

Hopefully this was helpful.

Find a better place to work. Just started as a software engineer, fresh out of college. I come home and I am constantly learning, which I enjoy, go to work and introduce new ideas and am shot idea not because of my ideas but beucasue im a newbie.

I agree that I want Rust usage to grow. I disagree that we made technical mistakes that hamper its growth. You've thrown out dozens of reasons over time, none of which were legitimate. Every time you name some feature of Rust you claim is a "gratuitous new thing", we calmly show you why (a) that feature is already in C++ or (more often) (b) that feature is necessary to make lifetimes/ownership/borrowing work.

I think that the simple fact is that ownership, lifetimes, and borrowing are unfamiliar. They have a learning curve, period. We can't expect a language with them to take over the world in a year. Programming languages are a mature market. Progress will be slow.

Rust is doing far better than 95% of new programming languages after a year. Most programming languages are dead after a year.
>I find that people who sit in the greys tend to be very worried about their public perception or have very little passion beyond maintaining personal comfort.

Or, you know, the issue is grey. Why take a strong stand when you have plenty of reasons not to?

The funny thing is that I find the opposite. I call it the "cowardice of taking a stand". Being a fence-sitter in this culture is fairly negatively perceived (except out of academia). As such, I notice people are very reluctant to state the nuances - they're afraid of being labeled a fence sitter. Cowards, in harsher words.

>The people I look for are those that take strong stands but are willing and able to adjust and even quickly reverse those stances.

The people I look for are those who ponder over, and see the flaws in their stands before becoming a strong proponent.

Wisdom is usually inversely proportional to posturing.

This is very reminiscent of: "Do you want a fantastic firefighter on your team, or one who prevents fires?" The firefighter is very noticeable because he keeps saving teams from crises. The one who prevents fires doesn't get noticed because there never was a fire. Poor managers reward firefighters.

I remember when I was interviewing for my last job, I would try to pose indirect questions to the potential manager to get an idea on whether they can handle uncertainty from their employees. If not, I would move on to the next interview. Managers who say stuff like "I never accept 'I don't know' for an answer" are to be avoided like the plague. They end up with a team of employees who are pretty adept at BS.

Society wants people who take strong stands, and your comment is a perfect example of it.

Just a heads up, your javascript doesn't work for me in Chrome because it's assigning to a global `history` variable. `window.history` is read-only so the js errors out. If you scope your function or rename the variable it should work. Nice challenge! Good luck!
My reading of the poem is somewhat at odds with the implication of that quote by itself. Overall Yeats seems to be lamenting a particular situation in which the best and worst have these qualities, rather than simply stating that they have these qualities in general.

Yes! This is an argument I've been making for several years now: the user-centric security model is obsolete and unhelpful, because most computers have either one or zero users in the traditional sense. The whole unix-style reduced-privileges-plus-sudo approach that Windows and MacOS have copied is a nuisance which doesn't really solve the problem; the permissions systems in Android and iOS are a little closer to the mark. Qubes is a good step forward. The real problem is exactly what you said: we can't fully trust software, even software which is not explicitly malicious, because software can be exploited, and because software authors sometimes want to be "helpful" in ways we'd really rather they weren't.

Every piece of software should run within a sandbox, and the human user should have complete control over which resources are or are not exposed to each sandbox; that's the future operating system I want to see. I did some exploration around the idea of doing this with hypervisors and unikernels (http://www.github.com/marssaxman/fleet) but it got to look too much like rewriting all the software in the world. Containers are less elegant, but seem to be a more practical way of moving in the right direction.
Thank you. Should be fixed now.
I didn't say exactly how frequently, just that it's the same with my database as other software.
Is the NZ fauna as bad as Australia's? I have spent a lot of time walking in North American forests, and I feel pretty safe in them, even with possible bear presence (I was in Alaska twice and it was majestic). I'd be scared to walk in a forest/bush in New Zealand or Australia.

7 stages of a good CRM pipeline: any other thoughts?
That sounds to me like a loudmouth versus someone who thinks about what he's saying before saying it.
"but it seems like the Docker project is more interested in features rather than stability."

I think that is a fair dig but I think they are still exploring the limits of what it can do. They are following the path of release often and make changes and show your working really well - you get to see the code and can contribute yourself.

The thing is that you have to take all that into account when you are using their product. You need to take an Engineering approach to "production". Use Docker in the way that works for you. You state that you ended up using Arch instead of Windows or Mac - so fine, you have constructed a tool chain that works for you and welcome aboard! You see, Windows and Mac also do odd things every now and then but you don't get to see the workings.

You are clearly not daft - you use Arch. I run Arch (my wife's laptop), Gentoo (my laptop and a fair few mail proxies and Icinga instances and other things), a lot of Ubuntus and a slack handful of Kalis and a sprinkling of Debians, Centos and others.

You need to use engineering principles when going to production. Also you have to look at the price you paid to use Docker - it's a purely social one but one that is extremely important and may not involve money but cost you a fortune anyway. You need to decide if you want to pay that cost.

You are clearly someone who understands the open source methodology but I would suggest that you look a little deeper into the dev -> prod thing. There is no reason why dev = Docker => prod = Docker. That's something that only you can decide after careful testing.

"Hover over album spines to reveal album information and stream music."

Hovering over any spine shows no such thing for me, on Chrome or Opera. In fact, the spines are not directly clickable and I have to use "Open in new tab/window" to see any detail.

If they are only using GCM as a queue (and the messages are themselves encrypted) I don't understand what the problem is.

They could use anyone for that functionality. Even if the messages are given to an "adversary" what can they really get from that? Your phone app contacted the signal servers. That's really it.

"To invent" means "to create or design something that has not existed before". Obviously not true in this case.
Computing Timeline
Go to settings=>security and enable "unknown sources" (allow installation of apps from unknown sources).

After that you are allowed to install .apk files (e.g. clicking the "download of xy.apk finished" notification or in a file explorer app).

Edit: that setting is always there, it's only greyed out if you installed a corporate app that explicitly disables it (e.g. the "GoodApp" email/calendar/contacts suite).
As the previous links from STRATFOR etc. prove, Google is deeply embedded in the security/intelligence apparatus. That part is definitely willing and beneficial to both parties. Of course, they're going to make changes and issue statements to the contrary regarding PRISM, because that would lose them customers.

This is also an interesting read, albeit a bit long:

You're just reposting stories from the frontpage of /r/conspiracy. You're shitposting - stop it please.

Hacker News is about discussing stories of intellectual interest and maintaining signal over noise - if we want to see what's going on over at reddit, we'll just go there.

Edit: since this story's been flagged, I'll have to answer kostko's reply to me in an edit - Hacker News, like many "link sites", including reddit, assumes one link per thread as the subject of that thread. You link to a single story, or article, and the thread which follows discusses that story.

What you've done is post several links from another link aggregator here, after simply linking to the front page of a subreddit. That is not an attempt to foster discussion around a single subject, it's spamming a thread with your own comments.

Your account is old enough that I would expect you to know how forums work, especially ones that care about quality of discussion over quantity of clickbait, so I'm sorry, but what makes no sense is your apparent confusion as to what acceptable behavior on Hacker News is.
This is very unfair and I would prefer for you to edit it to be more substantive, in line with HN policies. The way it reads now is an ad hominem attack and derails the conversation: I'm a user with a long posting history here and the comment is made in earnest. You quote me without including any context at all, and don't add anything substantive other than literal name-calling.

In particular please note that I give a complete model under which my suggestion fails. If God perturbed quantum effects to cause people to report being conscious (like perturbing dice rolls to report "I'm human!"), it could formally be a method to communicate between an ethereal soul plane and our reality, which would not translate to being modelled: the minute you modelled it, God would stop perturbing the physical substrate (stop perturbing the model) and the model would "break" or fail to have the emergent properties that the physical substrate has; the dice would stop saying "I'm human".

Since there is no obvious way to refute this scenario, by giving it I have given a very strong argument against my claim.

Obviously I feel strongly about the issue, but only because the conclusion is certain for me. I have shown fairly rigorously (I didn't exactly spell it out) how a model is possible under which I am wrong (i.e. God) so I don't see what else you could expect of me: I've given the strongest possible case against my model.

My model is still right, I simply don't want to be distracted by noise. I think you see this is the case, or you would not have responded in this way. There is not really anything to argue about here. I guess we could agree to disagree if you don't see things this way.

What does 'a strong opinion' mean to you? Because I think we have different ideas of what that means.

I think the people who are against forming strong opinions on little data, thinks it essentially means being confident, speaking your mind, and influencing others towards seeing things your way, when you haven't done much research into a topic. Which I think is a bad idea, because it has a high chance of propagating misinformation.
There's a meetup for your favorite JS library here, but I haven't found a group that I deeply enjoy going to yet. The challenge has been finding the right proportions of casualness, skill, and drive to actually build something in a group.

Currently at my (high) school they teach students App Inventor which looks a lot like this but it's web based instead. I'll definitely recommend this to them but they probably won't use it if there's no desktop web interface. Any plans for that?
It depends heavily on the culture at the startup. As an employee at a startup, it is very rare to really be exposed to what it means to run a startup. Most of the time you'll just be a code monkey, spending 60 hours in front of a computer and watching the CEO come and go without really knowing much about what they do.

Some companies try to be very transparent, keep everybody up-to-date when it comes to deals, negotiations, stuff like that. In such an environment yes you can gather some good knowledge.
Also:

> More importantly, this is an error which can happen purely on the client side. You don't need to compromise the node itself, you just need to compromise some peer between the client you wish to attack and the node. This is a larger attack surface and potentially allows you to force a reconnect and other bad things.

I don't understand what you mean by this. There aren't any peers between the client and the node. The node (socket) is owned by some process and the client has a connection to that socket.
NZ and Australia have very different fauna. They might look close on a world map but the distance from Sydney to Auckland is over 2000 km.

Just one example: Australia has a wide variety of mammals (mostly marsupials, e.g. kangaroos). NZ has very few native mammals, but it does have a huge assortment of unusual native birds. (Indeed, birds fill a lot of ecological niches that mammals normally do.) In fact, there's an ongoing effort to get rid of all non-native mammals: http://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2014/12/22/big-kill

Finally, the "all the Animals in Australia want to kill you" idea is popular and kind of amusing, but hugely overblown. Yes, there are deadly animals but you typically have to be doing something unusual or silly to encounter one in a dangerous way. Plus there's no poison ivy...

Why not move the child up to the grade level to which he/she performs?

They do this at my children's charter school. My son is in 3rd grade doing 4/5th grade math (accelerated charter school) and he has a 7 year old in his class. My son reports that its all good.

I firmly reject forcing a teacher to cater to all the "special flowers" in his/her classroom. Here is the standard for the grade level. If child are above standard, move up... if child are below... move down. If child has a learning disability, here is a specialist or a class with similar children and more teacher aids.

Edit to add: My daughter has several special needs children in her class (1st grade) and all she talks about is how disruptive they are. The teacher places some of them near her because she is well behaved and will help the teacher "police" the disruptive children. She hates it and we have a meeting with Principal about it next week.

I don't care that these children may be the next Einstein's and are disruptive because they may be bored and smart. The fact is they are disrupting EVERYONE in the class. Who should take responsibility for that? I think it is the PARENT.
