I don't understand your point about the death of Stephen (which I just happened to be reading in my devotional time this past week) in Acts 7. Could you elaborate?

I respect a person's right to believe whatever they want. All I ask is they respect my right to believe whatever I want. I used to believe the Bible was a collection of myths as well. If you want to believe that, that's certainly your right.

But I don't buy it. Not after reading the entire narrative, which IMHO currently is best done through the Read Scripture app for iPhone/Android (http://readscripture.org/). Not after I made an honest attempt to explain away the resurrection.

So just to be clear, do you think Jesus Christ was a myth, or that His death and resurrection was a myth?

Your comment at the end is on the right track. Annual energy consumption isn't the ideal metric because you can charge a car battery every day. 22,200 GWh is all the storage capacity you'd need with daily charging.
Well then how 'bout an ARM version with a touch screen, battery that lasts three days and the ability run IOS apps in a container...
I just bought a new mid 2015 mbp for that reason. Beyond the $300 price increase, there's an additional $400 backdoor price increase for additional chargers and a pile of dongles to replace all the functionality that currently works. Not throwing in a single usb-A port was the final fuck you that tipped me over the edge to the older generation.
Wasn't it clarified that the incident was caused by the driver and not the software?

they've introduced job success, now those who know how it works more or less or newbies with an empty job history -- are the top freelancers, whereas those who have been there for a long time, for years -- at the bottom. Needless to say, upwork doesn't disclose the exact formula used to calculate your job success.

more over: upwork claims it's guaranteed 100% you get your money if a job is hourly paid. No. they still can take your money and return it to a client.

they're many good freelancers who have been banned for no wise reason, among them are the top ones.

there're many other insights.
1) OSX is not viable any longer? Really? As evidenced by what? I mean, looking at WWDC talks, there's a ton of improvement year over year. Of course there's always more things that could be done, but remember, the core OS team is very small (especially compared to Microsoft, for example). Not to say that there isn't stagnation in some UI aspects (Finder, I'm looking at you...) but saying that the entire OS is no longer viable is a bit dramatic.

2) I don't see much competition that can even match Apple's build quality. The ones I do see, I am excited about, because that means they are striving to improve, and can challenge Apple and force them to improve more. Much better that, than having Apple rest on their laurels because nobody is even trying to get close.
The abstraction chosen by React makes a lot of sense to how my brain works. If one is bothered by the mixture of HTML/JS/CSS(where in the example?) there's always code generation.
You're extremely naive.

Likely, although my belief is only that selective enforcement of a "litany of laws" is worse than universal enforcement of that same overreach, and I don't disagree that it's practically impossible to live life or run a business 100% legally. I'm not questioning that there is ridiculous overreach, only suggesting that universal enforcement might be a solution.

There are so many that I can get sure every person breaks at least one law everyday

My usual example when the topic comes up is asking people whether they have been properly self-reporting and paying in-state sales tax on their out-of-state purchases as required by law in most states. I was impressed by one friend (a law professor) who was surprised to learn this, and now strives to be legally compliant.

It's sad but most laws do not get repealed.

Yes, but I think this is because we are relying so heavily on selective enforcement. It's certainly true that universal enforcement would be very difficult, and may have significant downsides, but I'd bet that if our legislators start losing their driving licenses for speeding offenses (or as you point out, if they, their gay friends, or family members were jailed for sodomy), the congressional gridlock would be broken and a lot of laws would swiftly be changed or repealed.
This winter so far the temp ranged from 2f to 60f... In 48 hours... So in those cases you know if it is single jacket, double jacket, or sweatshirt.

That's one example. Schedules, playing music, guitar tuner, uke tuner, metric conversion when hands are dirty from cooking, and plenty of other examples are abundant in our house
Completely agreed... I've been building web based apps for over two decades now. React is the first framework that feels "right"... there are some things that could be better, It's so much better than what came before. Angular brought me so many WTF moments, I can't even begin to mention them all, even ng2+. With React there's been a handful, usually with a useful error that made sense.

So much effort has been done with React to work with the broader JS community and its' direction as opposed to against it. ES6 class syntax, simple render function components, modules. React doesn't need much to get started, and it's unprescripted enough that just a few tools can round it out, with heavier and lighter options.

I don't want to go back, and frankly, I'd rather have JSX in my JS than go back to weird template DSLs ever again.
Self driving cars won't make financial sense in a lot of regions.

The driver plus bring your own vehicle model is a mostly operational cost model where the cost slides based on region, which makes it perfect for rolling out on a global scale.

The self driving taxi service model has a significant capital cost associated with it and that cost won't slide much based on region. It would take far too long to see meaningful returns on self driving taxis in India for example.

I'm a developer and spend most of my time in a terminal, usually in vim. I recently switched from OSX to Linux and have not looked back. OSX/macOS has been getting too goofy for my tastes.

I spent roughly $300 (reusing my current Apple Cinema LED monitor) to build a desktop replacement for my mac pro. Can't be happier.

Then I spent about $600 on a laptop (Thinkpad T460) to replace my Macbook Pro Retina. Also fantastic.

Everything's been great. The keyboard on the T460 is awesome. The battery life thus far is about 16 hours.

I don't see myself ever going back to macOS again. I'm running Arch, using i3 as a window manager, and feel right at home. Basically this feels like a computer again.

Ask HN: Will you hope S3 become a real file system?
In AWS, S3 is the de facto best storage, we are using it everywhere. After using it more and more, lacking some important feature or sematics really hurted us:

1) eventual consistency, do not known whether it's consistent or not, could result in wrong answer for analytics.

2) lacking of cheap/atomic rename, also symlink, it's painful to manage huge amount of data.

EFS is great, but can only be accessed from same VPC, also too expensive. Setuping up a DFS (GlusterFS/Ceph/MooseFS) in the cloud is also expensive and hard to manage.

ObjectiveFS looks great, after tried out, it still kind of eventual consistent from distributed system's point view(other nodes can't see the updates immediately). A distributed version of S3QL will be great.

Are you also hoping to have a solution that's as easy and scalable as S3, but also provide the same ACID guarantee as file system? If you know a solution like that, please leave a comment, thanks!
You are missing some points:

> They bought Otto - which is arguably the leader in self driving trucking and they have self driving trucks on the road right now. If they're able to capture say 20% of the trucking market 10 years from now that's tremendous.

Otto until now is not a truck company. They are not producing any truck. They are just retrofitting their technology in existing trucks. It is like what Google does and what I told everybody and laughed at me. Google had and has no interest in building cars. They have a very bad track record in building hardware for consumers. That said, Google is a software company. Google wants to sell their Software knowhow to the car industry. The very same seems to be true for Otto. Otto is just a technology company that does retrofitting. But all the truck manufacturers are building their technology directly into the trucks. Remember, that Freightliner and other Brands are a Daimler company. Daimler has self-driving technology for their cars and are integrating them into the trucks.
The future for Otto would be a partnership with at least one big truck manufacturer, which is not in sight. Otto will become obsolete, when it does not get such a partnership. So for Uber that is a high risk investment.

> They're in a legal fight in SF because they're trying to get self driving cars going. What are their numbers going to look like when they aren't paying drivers anymore?

You forget, that in the case of self-driving cars, then Uber has to buy (or lease) those cars. Today, they pay the drivers only for the work done, while the driver has to pay for the car and the service. So the risk and costs are distributed to the drivers. But with self-driving cars these costs are becoming Uber's costs. But Uber has until know no knowledge on handling own property.
What about Car2Go, Zipcar, and alike? They can easily exchange their existing car fleets. They have knowledge and experiences on handle car fleets. Think about that.

What if the thing you're calling via an RPC abstraction is not a resident deamon but instead it gets loaded on demand via socket activation and then after performing the request it shuts off? Or a process gets forked and a RPC request/response get passed via stdio? Would that smell better? I'm honestly curious.

(I'm not saying that this would make sense for the CRI API, I didn't even looked at it)
I think they will host a March Event for iMac "Pro" and iPad Pro. There are simply too much to stuff in for September. iPhone, iOS and EarPod.

I don't get your argument. If I'm reading this correctly, you're arguing that system calls and/or a call to a shared library function are cleaner than RPC to another process?

The overhead of RPC in an application like this is tiny and the cost of an additional process on 2016 equipment is non-existent.
Thank you for your post and clarifications. They make a lot of sense to me.

I made a mistake in my post:

> in a good part of the 90s in Europe cheap labour and Turkish people went hand in hand

I meant to say the 20th century, not the 90s. It occurred from about '60s till '80s. I'm also glad I'm not the only one who finds the name offensive, and FWIW I'm not Turkish in any way. Nor do I resent being associated with Turkish people. However for it to change, two people wouldn't be enough. I also wonder if the name is a coincidence, or deliberate. If Amazon were a European company I'd expect the latter, but America doesn't have the same history with Turkey as Europe does.

As for hobby. I'd just call it what it is: "a badly paid job". One you'd replace ASAP if you could. You need to also take into account that one requires a computer which requires maintenance and is going to (partly) die at some point. Sure, internet bill is likely flat fee and paid already, but electricity is going to be higher.
The Epic Guide to Bootstrapping a SaaS Startup from Scratch (Part 1)
In practice the GRPC interface can be "statically linked" into the kubelet binary and it then just becomes a plugin API that implementations can build. I believe this is how "dockershim" works today.

The advantage of the GRPC framework for developing though are tremendous, I'm building my own CRI implementation and I can iterate extremely quickly due to the fact that it can use RPC.

> SO if a startup is too risky for VC capital, 9 times out of 10 they are too risky for debt as well. Any startups who think they have loans as a backup option if they can't raise their next round are in a for a tough wake up call.

Reminds me of the one startup we once partnered with that were entirely bank funded through a major R&D effort. I'm still in awe at the financial discipline it took them, given that the bank released money in tranches equivalent to what he needed for 1-2 months at a time, entirely contingent on meeting extremely narrow performance targets to convince the bank they were on track and still met the risk profile. Mess up the slightest little bit even one month, and they'd be totally at the mercy of their bank manager. The bank saw it as borderline in terms of their risk.

Meanwhile, if they'd gone to a VC with the business in the state it was in, the VCs would be metaphorically throwing stacks of money at the company.

"Yes but you needed a different app for each taxi company."

Depends on a market I guess. Here you have a single app for all local taxi companies (actually, there are few competing apps, but you get a point), you can even select which companies do you want to use via checkboxes, because their price differs. Same centralized service works with SMS too, if you don't want to install app or have an ancient cell phone.

And how often are the presentation and logic changed in isolation of each other... they aren't separate concerns at many levels. The concern is sepearated in React at a component level... how a component is rendered is just as important as how it raises/accepts changes outside of itself, and often interacts.

Also, having JSX in my JS is much easier to deal with than remembering some abstract DSL for how to iterate through children in a template language. It's no more goofy.
Try i3 or fluxbox while you're still experimenting (or KDE for that matter if you've only gone with Gnome so far). Diversity is actually a good thing :)

Dlang's future is bright. It is the one true C++. In a related article, someone proposes C++ for physicists instead of Fortran. I propose to use Dlang or evolve Fortran to be more D-like. But take a look at the vast research C++ code. It is there unmaintained and unmaintainable. Dlang would make a huge difference here. The best are yet to come. C++ suffers from a serious personality disorder. It is C / it is SML / it is Python and finally it is perplexing and dangerous like JavaScript. If I had to use C++, I would stick to C. If I could change C++, I could throw away OO and Exceptions and see how to integrate templates and closures to C and make the language less forgiving.
But are they really the same... a common prescription for state management with react is to use something like flux or redux.

Either you can be scared all your life or adopt a system which is going to make your/your family's life more convenient.

Wrt your fear of always on microphones, there is a possibility that this may also happen on your smartphone where some rogue app might be listening to all your conversations. I don't see this to be quite different from that. I guess as more and more people adopt Alexa and you see the benefits, you will reach a tipping point where the pros outweigh the cons..
One point not covered by the article is how reading real world code will also help set realistic expectations, especially if you are a relative newbie. The truth is that there is a lot of code in the world, even in popular frameworks and libraries, which does its job but which does so in clunky or unreadable ways. I don't blame this on the developers, on the contrary it's my experience that any codebase will develop a number of FIXMEs and TODOs over time because the initial design very rarely matches the final design and because there is not a business case for making everything shine. Perfect code is a noble goal but prohibitively expensive to implement.

This is a nice lesson for a novice programmer to let sink in. That software is written by humans. Mostly clever people but not infallible. And subject to all kinds of tradeoffs. They call it computer science at university, but most of the time we are craftsmen working on buildings evolving as we go.

I recall my personal eureka moment in this regard. 2001, final year of university, writing Java code for my thesis. Downloaded the source code for the official Java APIs, I think it was, to better understand how they worked. I was genuinely surprised by the amount of critical comments and "fix this" comments strewn throughout the code. It was a great learning experience and took the pressure off my shoulders to be "perfect".
You know lots of environments are quite configurable both in aethetics and functionality have you explored this. If you just booted up and didn't explore your options you might have missed the better part of your options.
