No, it's extremely useful, and no different than other people in the thread who express how exercise or hobbies have helped them cope with work stress. They're implying compartmentalization too, because having a hobby shows that there's more to life than work life.
Yes, people/companies can and do discriminate against whites all the time. Yes, discrimination is bad in all forms. But comparatively, discrimination against whites is limited in scope and impact.

In the words of our president-elect, those concerned with discrimination against whites are just being big babies.
Docker moves fast and breaks things without stabilising them first this post explains the problem fairly well: https://thehftguy.wordpress.com/2016/11/01/docker-in-product....

There have been lots of bugs (some could be considered design failures) allowing processes to escape from a docker container. Fixing those problems hasn't received the attention from the docker community I would expect from a serious OS level virtualisation community. In some cases it boiled down to "yeah just don't do that" or "no problem just put docker inside a VM".
There are use-cases where globally removing aliases isn't an option (e.g. scripting for use on a machine that isn't yours).

For those, it's also possible to evade the aliasing just by explicitly appending the .exe onto the command. 'pwd.exe' gets you the GNU version.
The point is that they're defined by default. See this story for more background:

On the other hand there's an article in the WaPo "Facebook fake-news writer: ‘I think Donald Trump is in the White House because of me’" where he mentions "my story about a protester getting paid $3,500 as fact. Like, I made that up. I posted a fake ad on Craigslist." And similar.

It's by no means impossible that that stuff swung the election. I mean I actually believed there may have been paid protestors and that's the first I've seen of it being faked (https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/the-intersect/wp/2016/11...)
(This is Craig -- CEO) Ouch :). I was never much good at naming. Take 'Kubernetes' as an example. I still get razzed about it.

I would describe this as a case of 'domain based naming' (i.e. we could get the domain name, it was uncontested space).

I hope to create something positive out of it, if we do it up right hopefully the company character will dominate the name.
Seriously, if I have to see one more burger menu on a desktop site …

I have to click unnecessarily on the icon to see the navigation (which, of course, overlaps the whole page). Terrific.
Isn't that always the case, that shell built-ins take precedence over things elsewhere in the system? On Unix you have to call them with their full path, e.g. to get the system echo instead of bash's you need /bin/echo, I guess. On Windows you can add the extension, i.e. use ls.exe instead. Even cmd shadows programs that have the same name as a built-in, e.g. echo.exe must be called as such and just echo will use the built-in command.
Haven't tried in the preview build but this is still the case in the recent Windows 10 build I have.
Being verbose would be a good thing (more readable than a cryptic acronym) if there was auto-complete support. A console should really be a small IDE that gives live feedback on what arguments are possible in the current context, etc. But that's not the way powershell was designed.

You can set it up like that, yes. (I'm not sure what the default is, since I haven't created a new Thunderbird profile in years)
No, batch files won't magically get run by PowerShell (and in fact cannot, except for very trivial stuff).
Weird. I have 14971 installed and when I type CMD in the "ask me anything" box or in the alt-r box I get good old CMD shell. Is this a config thing ?
This is the first thing I thought of tbh.

I've been slightly paranoid after it was revealed that Kryptowire discovered backdoors in some Chinese made smartphones:

http://www.nytimes.com/2016/11/16/us/politics/china-phones-s...

It was not a bug. Rather, Adups intentionally designed the software to help a Chinese phone manufacturer monitor user behavior, according to a document that Adups provided to explain the problem to BLU executives
Absolutely, but it's also helpful to understand why an FSB/KGB aligned company would be building their own OS from scratch anyway, when they could just adopt any BSD or Linux-based OS with a permissive license.
The firewall can match on the jail id for local sockets and apply traffic shaping based on these matches. Hierarchical resource limits on CPU/disk/memory/... can be configured per jail.
I think the problem here is that the word 'friend' in US English means someone you know, but are not necessarily really close to (should really be described as an 'acquaintance'). People usually use 'good friend' or 'BFF' to describe actual friendship.
Not sure why you're downvoted. Very true statement, imo.

Out of interest, this "in the loop" terminology sounds odd to me and sounds like business speak. Is this common in Google?

I remember once contacting Sun for info on software many years ago and received an email where they promised that someone would "reach out to me".

I didn't want to be reached out for - I just wanted some text answering my question.
Seriously? I wonder how they managed to do that, i am sure that required a whole engineer team for a whole month!
I just wrote batch files that serve as aliases for those. I type ls in my command shell and it does a dir /w behind the scenes, which makes it look more like how it looks in Linux anyway. Here are the ones I have:

* cat.bat: type %1

* clear.bat: cls

* diff.bat: fc /n /w %1 %2

* ls.bat: dir /w %1%

* pwd.bat: cd

* touch.bat: echo . >> %1

* top.bat: tasklist

All have an @echo off at the top too. Touch is a little janky, because I couldn't figure out how to actually create an empty file with nothing in it from the command prompt.

I'm actually not really a Linux person, but on Mac you kinda have to use these, so I got more used to using them than the Windows counterparts.

Hey, I'm still on Windows desktop after having tried Linux desktop more times than I can count. But to claim that bash (or most other shells) are only preferable to cmd and powershell if you're a linux zealot is what is truly laughable.

If you have ever worked with both there would be no question.

You're right! I just didn't have the ability to see that. Thanks for your insights.
Story goes like this: Joe and I did Google Compute Engine together. Once that was on rails we started looking at the gap between GAE and GCE. Joe found Docker way back before it was a household name, and we started thinking hard about the 'compute continuum'. What beyond the container format was needed. Brendan was working in the meantime on something that looked like cloud formation that we were also playing with. We had instantly good chemistry with the three of us, and he started looking at Docker too.

To raise awareness of Docker in Google, I asked Brendan to pull together a demo for our all hands. In a nutshell what he produced was the bones of Kubernetes. I remember looking at it and having a moment, he had built a mini borg cell on VMs. Basically made borg a devops accessible tool, not just a monolithic clustering tool (like Mesos was). When I saw that the product ramifications were obvious, I called Joe over to look and the rest is history.

Volkswagen pays out high salaries to their line workers, requiring little work by comparison (when measured in hours). VW pay is up 20-50% compared to comparable industry jobs.
quoting pcwalton up above:

"I don't care if the software is verified via libraries or compilers. The problem is that C++ verifiers don't work."
Yes, they are going to give older workers good conditions for early retirement and will not replace those exact positions. The work council has agreed to the conditions.

Also, they are creating 9k new jobs in e-mobility.

"Work close friend" is a clunky phrase, and most people in my experience understand "work spouse" easily.
It's another FUD. Keep in mind that Kaspersky lab have found EQUATION Group, no one else could.
I am sick of these sites at this point. they all look, feel and work the same way.
The central issue here is also that Volkswagen is going to change massively over the next 10 years. They are about to invest billions in e-mobility, connectivity, and autonomous driving. So the competition among car manufacturers, esp. Tesla and the rest, is going to increase over the next years. Tesla we be on new grounds in 10 years from now.
Most of the fake news sites listed are conservative. Don't believe the leftist propaganda.
The fact that something is "all in your head" doesn't imply much about how much control you might have over it. Schizophrenia is "all in your head." Some people do have a reasonable amount of control over the situation, but many people have little control.

It sounds like this "journalist" just has a huge ego. No one man or his news would have swung an election. If fake news could swing an election, CNN would be the "newspaper of record" and not the New York Times.

This whole fake news controversy makes me really sad. Democrats aren't learning from their failures.

That's awesome when you can find that. More often I find that "flexible hours" means "if you're an early bird, you're on your own until we decide to meander in, and expect to hear from us about work at 8pm or 9pm at any point during the week."
>How many of them knew Hillary literally created the Syrian refugee crisis in a failed attempt at a coup? Not a single one I talked to.

There is no evidence that Clinton backed or supported a coup in Syria. The US did support elements of a popular uprising in Syria during the Arab spring, and then provided and continues to provide military support to Anti-Assad factions after Assad viciously cracked down on the uprising. A coup d'etat is a very different beast.

The refugee crisis is a result of Assad and Anti-Assad factions acting to change the demographics of Syria via ethnic cleansing. It is unclear, but seems unlikely to me, that the refugee crisis would be lower if the Anti-Assad factions had gotten less support from the US. The refugee crisis would have just happened over a shorter period of time. To avoid increased US involvement Assad regulated his behavior somewhat (see Chemical Weapons controversy). It seems likely to me that the US by providing limited support to Anti-Assad factions acted to limit/control military support given by gulf nations to the more extreme Anti-Assad elements. Such support would likely have made the more radical elements of the civil war much more powerful and likely increased the flow of refugees.

US involvement in the Syrian Civil War did in certain circumstances limit the refugee crisis and has allowed refugees to return home. For example the US/YPG defense of Sinjar Mountain in N. Iraq allowed refugees to escape genocide, then with the recapture of Sinjar, allowed refugees to return home. Another example would be halting of the Islamic State's campaign in N. Syria, which if continued would have generated hundreds of thousands of refugees. Not only was the Islamic State's advance halted, but it has been rolled back significantly with large numbers of refugees returning home. This would not have been possible without US support to the factions (YPG/SDF) fighting the Islamic State.

We can debate the exact nature of US responsibility for the refugee crisis, but (1). any direct responsibility for foreign policy at this level is with the President not the Secretary of State, (2). there was no coup d'etat attempted or otherwise in Syria.
You might be too young to remember Blaster Worm. There was a time in 2003-2004 you couldnt install Windows XP/2000 when directly connected to the internet (no nat/firewall), you got infected (= reboot after 60 seconds) as soon as install process fired up RPC service.
I don't remember enough of the details to find a link, but I recall reading a story where some system error destroyed the binaries for most of the usual command line tools like cat and the author couldn't restart or rebuild the server so they hand entered the hex (or something) for enough tools to bootstrap themselves into a running system again.
What issue? Root outside the jail is implicitly trusted by the jail so why would you hide resources (in this case jailed processes) from the "true" root? Jails can't see each others processes. The only case I can think of how one jail could affect an other is if they are connected by a unix domain socket in that case you could probably send a process descriptor from one jail to the other and the capability represented by the descriptor should cross the jail boundary. This would require the sending to sendmsg() the descriptor on purpose and I wouldn't consider it a security problem, because both jail have to cooperate to create this condition and be configured to share an existing connected unix domain socket a shared writable file system subtree (e.g. through nullfs what Linux calls a bind mount).

Yes you can limit resources per jail through hierarchical resource limits.

Does this answer your questions or did I missunderstand your question?

No, it is mostly backward compatible. Not the same thing at all.
In technology, there's points where certain things stabilize and change infrequently. You can only build great things when your foundation isn't changing all the time.

I'm not really a heavy shell programmer. I mostly use it for git and simple scripts.

IMO, nothing's really "sold" me on powershell. It's always come across as some tool that some people like, but I've never really seen a reason to use it. (As I don't do a lot of complicated things in the shell.)

Hopefully this is something that's easy to get used to.

Airbnb's app has the most annoying privacy problems that I refuse to use it on my phone. I only use the website for this reason.

When setting up the app, it refuses to sign you in unless you authorize it with Oauth to download your entire contacts list from Google or Facebook. I refuse to give Airbnb access to my hundreds of personal and professional contacts just so I can book a room somewhere.

For some reason, the website doesn't require this level of Oauth permissions, just the ability to see your email address.

Airbnb, please fix this! Privacy conscious consumers shouldn't have to delete your app, but there are some lines in the sand we refuse to cross, like giving you access to our entire list of personal and professional contacts.
My comment -- despite being quite carefully written and about something few people on HN really care about -- have really jumped up and down in votes. Which is expected. [Edit: A bit weird when it first had multiple plus votes, then ended up on -2 -- and the vote counter is +2? :-) 20 minutes later, up to 0 and vote counter 4. ]

The most extreme parameter when Sweden was compared to the rest of Europe used to be the high amount of trust in the society. People trusted each others and the state.

All that seems to be disappearing. I saw in my FB stream "Sweden is a country where we are right now learning to hate each others".

Sad. Or maybe it is part of growing up, as a country and as a society.

Edit: Vendan seems to think I'm happy about this change in societal climate? :-( I'm closer to mourning.
Zero Assumption Recovery X Crack Incl License Key
Not sure how that is related. Its years ago i last time used Windows for anything development related. And honestly i would prefer the old cmd because its easy to install Gow into it. It seemed quite harder to have my common environment working properly in Powershell without actually learning at least some of that syntax stuff last time i tried.
They're only going for 51 orbital planes and it's fairly simple to spread out many satellites from a single launch if they're in the same orbital plane. And a Falcon 9 can carry 20,000 kg to orbit whereas each satellite is pretty light. Some people on /r/spacex calculated that the binding constraint is actually the volume of the Falcon 9 payload fairing and they'll be able to launch 20-25 satellites at a go. And I would expect that mass produced satellites to be far cheaper on the margin than bespoke ones. All of which is to say that it's probably more like $10 million per satellite launched.

I'm in the midst of a light burnout right now - and I realize it's partly my expectations, and partly the expectations of my company.

As part of a start-up you're expected to be insanely productive at all times - so much so - that "normal" productivity feels like you're spinning your wheels and not getting anything done.

The other side is the company encouraging being a "hero". Being the one who can do anything, who gets X, Y, Z done on time, even if it takes all night. The praise and recognition fades quickly - as you realize you've set the expectation such that you can function at 200% at all times. (And you start feeling stressed as you fall to 150%, to 120%, to 100%.)

Some of the comments in this thread are spot on. For the level where I'm at (not full-bore burnout), I'm trying to prioritize my life outside of work again (aka have a life outside work). Sleep well, exercise, pick up hobbies again, go for hikes again, and so on.

Burning out to me - is letting work take up a disproportionate amount of your time and mental energy - so much so that the microcosm of work starts feeling like the most important thing.

Getting out of it (for me) is all about regaining that perspective.
