Nomad dev here. We should definitely tick the simplicity box for you. If not, let me know. :)

Nomad is a single executable for the servers, clients, and CLI. Just download[0] & unzip the binary and run:

nomad agent -dev > out &
nomad init
nomad run example.nomad
nomad status example

And you have an example redis container running locally!

Nomad supports non-Docker drivers too: rkt, lxc templates, exec, raw exec, qemu, java.[1] To use the "exec" driver that doesn't use Docker for containerization you'll need to run nomad as root.

Do you have a link to the original version? It looks fake enough as it is, I wonder how much bad it could be.

But hey, maybe this guy really cracked the market, and a Nobel prize and billions of USDs are on the way...
>Use pseudonyms! Be cautious about what you post online. There are so few sites that require your real identity that letting it 'slip' should not even be a possibility.

It's not like I'm doing that today at 30 years old. But when you're 15, the internet is relatively new in the mainstream, and these people are your "friends", maybe you give them your phone number so you can chat, or your address so they can send you something, and then someone else gets ahold of it, and there you go.

Kids don't exactly think rationally and are notoriously bad at foreseeing the eventual impact their current actions have.
It's ok Kyle, I'm with ya. I like most indiehackers articles but this one didn't really provide the same level of insight as most. I made over 150% returns on bitcoin in the last 13 months.... and I did nothing.
They feel like paper to my eyes. Sometimes like a xerocopy. See above for a bit longer reply: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13591030

I had some doubts myself before buying my first e-ink based device. It helped a lot to watch movies on y-t where guys were test driving them.

Not all e-ink displays are of equal quality. The newer ones should be ok, those claiming 16 levels of grey. However the definitive test should be made by your very own eyes.

Edit: I don't have a Kindle.
There's a basic, and I think unfounded, assumption we'll find new jobs for people.

Look at horses: thousands of years of utility, now essentially decorations and luxury items. Their population virtually gone in 100 years.

No one has explained to me why that won't happen to humans except "it hasn't happened yet" and "humans aren't horses (duh!)", neither of which really addresses the issue.
>dogs do not love you

care to explain where between our common - for dogs and humans - ancestors and us you think this capability for love appeared? In particular - did Australopithecus had it? Or did we get it after Australopithecus? Or do you think dogs lost it?

To me your position looks to be exactly the very clear expression of that typical religious dogma of "only humans have soul".
Trolling absolutely can be a form of satire, and has existed far longer than the internet. While there are trolls who do it simply to spark anger or get attention, some do it to point out the absurdity of an argument.

> IMHO, "political correctness" is not the problem, it is a symptom.

The problem is that society is becoming increasingly stratified, and large swaths of it don't accept differences of opinion.

> Trolling, to me, just aggravates the actual problem: deep socioeconomic/racial/sexual inequities.

I'd say it's the opposite. If anything, it points out the deep hypocrisy among certain groups to accept different opinions.

When I think of trolls that exist outside the internet, I think of something like Charlie Hebdo, which satirizes a subject in a rather extreme way that's meant to provoke. Or a public figure like Milo Yiannopolous, or even Kanye West.
I doubt Giuliani was misquoted, or he would have trumpeted it from the rooftops. So your complaints about the Post don't come into it. I think Giuliani can be believed here.
I am a Java developer by day and I fell in love with Clojure sometime ago. I have to give the language credit, because it taught me some new important concepts. After a break of couple of months (a year?) I went back to write some simple Clojure stuff - only to find out that the problem with error messages still persists: it's really easy to misuse some function here and there - especially if you don't use them on a daily basis - and sometimes tracking the actual source of the error/exception is almost impossible, even in a such developer-friendly IDE as Cursive. I can see how that can be absolutely discouraging for the beginners, even for people that are coming from Java backgrounds. Until that core problem is not fixed, it will never become a mainstream choice of a language.

So if you ever played Crazy Gregtech from 1.4/1.5 where it rewrote a bunch of mods and made everything hideously expensive and tried to force you into automation.

Now imagine they removed the forced manual crafts like plates etc. were for a while.

Now they put in a smooth curve for the automation so you get your first automated thing pretty early and the answer is never "go grind manual mining for 2 hours" or "quarry half the world and come back in 2 hours when it finishes", but instead is "build more automated lines" or "find the weak link in your current chain and optimise/expand it more".

Modded minecraft certainly feels like an inspiration, but this takes that plumbing/building/optimisation aspect of it and boils the game down to most of that. And since there's a single designer and no mod arms race, everything feels like it fits together, and has a balanced progression.

I like it more, especially since so much of modern modded minecraft consists of building a single pipe and attaching appropriate outlets to it (AE2 being one of the worst offenders).

Also another suggestion for people who like the automation/optimisation aspects of games, OpenTTD is pretty good for scratching that itch once your networks get bigger.
Paying teachers better might attract more people to become teachers instead of lawyers?

Just nitpicking your argument here. I think there are empirical studies looking at things like impact of teacher pay, teacher prestige in society, teacher selection etc on student learning; and teacher pay doesn't actually have that much of an impact (and neither does class size). But I would need to look that up to be sure.
I'd recommend loading Chrome's network tab as you browse the site to get some insight into this. For example, it looks like every time I click on a story it makes four requests; three are the same and the fourth is for 'undefined'.
Except they are NOT interested in reporting the violence in protests in the United States because all the violence is wholly on the side of groups siding with Democrats.

I agree -- I think the two most important people currently in software are aphyr for database testing, and lcamtuf for fuzzing (AFL). Both are pushing important fundamental software to pass the kind of tests it's embarrassing we haven't been doing for the past 20 years. I mean that in the most positive way, it's hard to get people to do things they've been neglecting for so long!
I don't see why one would choose TCL over LISP-likes which can be made equally as efficient and are very simple to implement and optimize.
Research is expensive because it is conducted by well-paying professionals over multiple years, then taken to several rounds drug trials, which come with risks of serious side effects.

Negative outcomes resulting from drug trials -- as well as approved drugs -- are routinely litigated by the aggrieved parties, which result in expensive settlements or the risk of high damages (in some cases, punitive).

Further, to promote public interest, patent protections on medication in most countries usually expire after 20 years, which limits the window of time in which the makers can recoup the cost.

'Tort reform' proposes (among others) to reduce the monetary risks associated with drug trials by limiting lawsuit payouts of limiting grounds to sue -- to its promoters, this benefits society at large (and the drug companies) while hurting a few individuals who happen to have found themselves embroiled in such a case.

To its opponents, tort reform is an instrument to dismantle regulatory protections and results in little to no societal benefit, perversely incentivizing drugmakers to both a higher absolute quantity of drugs to drive overall revenues, while reducing the average quality of drugs to be less safe, and leave seriously injured people with no viable recourse. It's a complex problem with no easy answers.

Like I said, I was aiming for a game that had similar depth/complexity tradeoffs to DF, but which wasn't situated in the simulation/sandbox genre, where all comers have to be compared to DF, and most don't measure up.

Given, KSP doesn't strictly compete with DF...
The problem with that argument is with people who argue poorly. The American Revolution required privacy which means we went to war. Ergo, the response is then, "What are you trying to overthrow the government?"

They don't fundamentally see the need for privacy. They don't understand the value of privacy until they're having weekly home inspections for health purposes (read: contraband). Then the response is, "You think the government is going to shore up enough manpower to start searching everyone's home on a weekly basis?" Well, no. But as a former servicemember, I lived that life. It's the same thing they're doing with your digital information, but instead of the known inspection where you can hide something, it's everything at all times.

Instead of addressing the point, they deflect the argument.
I think globalisation (as in outsourcing to cheaper countries) had a major role. It put out of a job low skilled workers in the US, and made (part) of the cost of living much cheaper to those with a job (all the stuff imported from China).

Money printing and the over accumulation of debt I think had less of an effect. It had inflationary effects on upper middle class activities (housing in big cities, college tuitions, etc), but I believe the bulk of the effects is yet to come: a period of high inflation that can have severe effects on our way of life.

Rackspace lays off 200 locals in company-wide cuts
Im not sure what the answer to that question is.

What appears to be the case is that if certain movements at their core significant weight on identifying/separating groups of people, especially based on grievance, it will inevitably split.

A group that bases itself on division, will inevitably divide and weaken.
It might be better to think of it as a limitation of two-generals, rather than 2PC in particular.
If you only make the shoes for the left leg you're still doing your actual job, just not all of it.

Disabling half the buttons on a page is an active act of sabotage.

Peaceful protests for software engineers have the problem that in most software companies, if everyone used the age old "you're not allowed to strike" tactic of conspiring to call in sick, most likely the software would continue to work just fine, since everything is automated.

Of course the system would eventually break down, but likely after the employees lost their patience for the protest, by which point the company could have brought in replacements to keep the shop running.
If we're speaking literally, yes it has. Average salary in US 1957 was just under $5,000.

If you're adjusting for inflation, it's hard to quantify our quality of life difference. We have comforts and luxuries that were hardly conceivable 60 years ago, and they're well distributed.

In real terms worldwide, GDP per capita in current USD went from $445 in 1960 to $10,000 today, a 20x increase.

So I dispute your point, except in inflation-adjusted USD in the USA for the average worker (and where I still don't think you can quantify).
This is liked to Slashdot. At least link to the real source.[1]

A poll of economists probably isn't that helpful here. Crunching on data from unemployment offices might be more tied to reality.

Then don't advocate for the option which would cause that, and don't say, "it's unfortunate". These are people's lives you're talking about.
Get a job, Eric. That is, if anyone will hire you after your long history of sub-par software, racism, and just generally being an asshole.
So... if 600 traders were replaced with 200 engineers, do the engineers make 2-3x the salary of the replaced traders?
Father Ted is a great, great show, btw, well worthy of watching every episode.
I think this sort of argument is inherently troublesome because it assumes that our experience of consciousness is totally unique and no non-human animal shares any part of it in any amount. If you fail to draw that line precisely between humans and everything else, then you can't draw it anywhere else either. I think it is not possible to do the former (some animals clearly demonstrate significant cognitive capabilities), so it follows that there is no line that can be drawn.

I think it is good to keep in mind that the majority of non-human animals likely see the world through a very different lens than we do, but I think we must also keep in mind that we are related to the rest of the animals and not maybe as special as we think we are.

Also, the idea of "anthropomorphizing" emotions in animals (like love) is IMO kinda silly since I'm not sure we can precisely define or quantify just what it is we are supposed to be experiencing that animals definitely aren't.

Not trying to be hostile; just registering my two cents.

No, everyone understand privacy and it's value, they don't understand privacy ONLINE.
The Factorio map is unlimited (ish, maxint and all that). However the map matters a lot less in Factorio than it does in Minecraft, as the latter relies a lot more on the preexisting world than the former.

In large part, in the CPU section, it _is_ working in numpy. I think of the neural network libraries, Chainer is made by the people who like actually coding the most.

I mean, for example, lots of the TensorFlow type checking gets done in Eigen, where it's done by C++ template metaprogramming (that's how it worked when I looked at it, anyhow): Chainer type stuff just gets done by runtime inspection.

Which one is faster? TF, by far. Which one would you rather have in _your_ codebase?

Edit: after reading the damned thing, they add in more runtime type stuff. And after looking over TF back again, they still have this hybrid thing going on where it's some Eigen stuff and some runtime stuff. I mean....
Computers don't need to understand natural language, they just need a little guidance towards what the data means. You can train a neural network, or you can just write some solution-specific code. A lot of people are not that hard to replace.
You forget one part: patients do not care what insurance costs because their employer chooses what they use and what price they pay.

If I could buy health insurance separately from my company I'd look into it. I know my company pays at least as much as I do for my insurance, but if I go off the company plan I can't get that money to use for insurance I like.

The result of this is I have incentive to not care what anyone charges. The only thing I can do is lower my satisfaction job rating if the doctor I want to go to isn't covered by my plan. If I actually could choose insurance I would would look into cheaper plans - if they tell me the doctor I want is more expensive so I need a more expensive plan to cover using him I would then have incentive to choose: see if I like a cheaper doctor, or pay more for the one I like.

The result of employer providing my health insurance is a large source of dysfunction in the health care market. I illustrated one, but there are others. (Note, there are other dysfunctions in the health care market - always it is complex)
Many (most?) of the online wallets have 2-factor auth, though maybe that wouldn't come into play if the login appeared to be coming from a familiar computer.

"If you think surveillance isn't necessary, my guess is you are actually living in a "safe" area and leaning heavily on state surveillance and military/police violence to provide border control so that the general public can't enter your community."

My initial indignant reaction to that was "No way!", but realistically, my country (Australia) treats refugees worse than (assumption ahead) yours... While my neighbourhood is "safe" and pretty much abhors police violence, you're right about my country... :-/

"Perhaps you don't consider the person standing at the border and looking to see who's trying to come in as "surveillance"."

Like I said, I'm not from the US, but even some of us on the opposite side of the planet have seen all the stats proving toddlers with guns kill more people than "the people standing at your borders". From someone with no real dog in your immigration policy fight, but perhaps with a bit of outside perspective - this seems like institutionalised every day racism, rather than any real attempt to make the public safer... (Not intending to accuse you personally of racism here, but there's a deep undercurrent of it in your country's policies, government, institutions of power, and public discourse. And my country is no better either...)
I wouldn't say the UI/UX has been completely ignored. In fact, to a large extent I'd say it's been quite deliberately designed. The lack of "graphics" does not necessarily lessen a game, especially one like this (or like less complicated roguelikes). I've been playing roguelikes for years (decades?) and I think the text visuals are actually better than any tile visuals I've ever tried (and I've tried a lot of tilesets for the various games I've played). As long as you know what the symbols mean, there's less ambiguity about what something is (especially at higher resolutions). Textual interfaces might not be great for a FPS, but at least to me, they're actually ideal for games like DF. Same for the keyboard interfaces.

To me, the roguelike and DF style UI/UX are kind of like vim/emacs and "easier" or "prettier" game UI/UX are like MS Word. Both server their purposes well, but one is designed to be extremely powerful but it has a steep learning curve, while the other is designed to be easier for new users but the power usage can be more obscured or entirely non-existent. It's not a perfect analogy, of course, but it's my take on it.

Industrialisation has been destroying blue collar jobs. Computerization has been destroying white collar jobs for a while. You don't need an army of accountants to manage your books. All you need is an SAP-like system and a small team of experts. You don't need hundreds of engineers doing industrial design all day, you just need a few good guys and a CATIA-like system.
Doesn't seem that strange to me. Given that the target audience seems to be creatives at desktops, webapp first seems to be a good approach.

It only takes someone having it out for any specific individual who depends on the device. The OneTouch pump is a convenient murder weapon that could make the death look like an accident. (Or the possibility of many collateral casualties could be a plus to some.)
Actuaries have quite a high regulatory wall protecting them from other human competitors. But probably not from computers.

True, and the usual definitions are useful in many ways, but I would argue that the Catholic church (big "C", as opposed to the various catholic structures and practices found in many non-Catholic denominations) has larded up their religion to the point that it's barely recognizable as christianity. The idols (incendiary term, I know), the various levels of hell, the duties and bribes to church officials in return for forgiveness. A preponderance of Catholic doctrine and church structure has nothing to do with Christ's promise of utterly free redemption.

I know nothing about the Orthodox churches.
