I work on high-performance scientific simulation software in C++, and, I have to say, it works really well for us.

Our competitors do a bunch of code generation to accomplish the same things in Fortran that we do with templates and policy classes.

Sometimes, for shits and giggles, I'll prototype algorithms in Haskell or Common Lisp or what have you and, I have to say, the experience isn't really all that compelling, and this is without introducing MPI and all the associated headaches of working with MPI in something it doesn't support first-class.
Oh. Hmm. Honestly blog posts can provide a ton of value to the community and some developers like to write. I feel like blog post is a different category than sign-up pages and fundraisers and should be okay.

But that's just my opinion. Spamming blog posts will get pushed down anyway.
I'd argue that the stateless bit is more of a Docker idiom than something intrinsic to containers. LXC/LXD, for example, treats containers as machines instead of processes.

I tested Sandstorm just last week, the technology maybe cutting edge but sadly the UI design /UX was from the the 90s. The various apps did not gel with either sandstorm frame or other apps at all (conceptually, not technically), almost as if they are iframed and glued together.

Hope the team spends time and polish the presentation layer.

>I never claimed otherwise. Did you read my post?

Yes, I did. You said

>Movie theaters also don't advertise in such a way that suggests will walk out with a lot of money.

in response to someone comparing movie theaters to casinos. Your comment is obviously suggesting that you believe casinos advertise "in such a way that suggests will walk out with a lot of money".

>I've never seen such an advertisement

Check out any chain restaurant advertisement. Here is an example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4CbVVq4GStc

>nor have I heard of anyone putting up the deed to their house or the title of their car to pay for their restaurant habit.

So you're changing the point from "they advertise in a misleading way" to "people can become addicted to it"? That is a different argument so I want to be clear if we're moving on from the original point.
That's definitely how Google is acting.

Most of the negative feedback I've heard is because it makes it very difficult to bypass amp on mobile (impossible?) and, yes, copy the URL of a google result without linking to google.
Realm has been discussed on HN quite a bit for the past 3 years: https://hn.algolia.com/?query=realm&sort=byPopularity&prefix...

It's been really nice to use so far for me, plus the Realm team puts out a lot of helpful deeper dive blog posts:

In a perfect free market where literally nobody (not just super large corporations, anyone with any advantage, be it scale, efficiency, whatever) abuses their advantage, this would definitely not be a big deal. In fact, it would be detrimental to overall economic efficiency.

Unfortunately, the world we live in is not a perfect one and thus, there is a need for such regulations.
I like how the guys were described as "scammers" and "cheaters"; the same adjectives could be used to describe the casinos.
The real problem is the infrastructure required cooperation of the public to build, using public funds and eminent domain to get these cables threaded through the last mile to people's homes. Now we are told the public's interests should not be expressed through regulation but market power that doesn't exist, because no one else can replicate that infrastructure, sometimes literally by law but often just as prohibitively by the economics of fiber buildout.

In my (unqualified and amateur) opinion, competition and the free market is often a fragile and unnatural state that requires active intervention to maintain. Trust-busting progressives are not in conflict with capitalism, but I think are the necessary gardeners of a wild and unruly competitive landscape.
ah, I guess I wasn't clear. the point/opinion I was trying to convey is that without getting rid of large corporations there's no way to avoid these issues. I was just curious why there's so much emphasis on his particular issue, which I believe not to be the real problem.

I agree with your claim that we need regulations. I just don't see how they'll last, given corporations' influence on our democracy and government. Isn't this article in particular case and point?
Sure! I've just emailed you from my personal mail account.
I think the React Native is pretty cool. React Native doesn't take your web JavaScript and turn it into a mobile app. It is using the React library with the native UI view objects.

Those are two different problems: what is the best framework for our web front-end vs what is the best framework for our iOS front-end. If you want to normalize on React for both, what is the problem that you are solving by doing that?

All system can fail, and failed system should be recovered. That's why we have disaster recovery plan, back up or replication etc.

(I have just shallow knowledge in docker volume, so please reply if not corrects exist)
I understand docker with local volume is just abstracted file system have mounted path that volume specified linked with host path.
So file i/o is probably not a problem in local volume.

And if network has bug that make data corruption can make difference between nodes, docker cannot be used any system. So we can think network bug may not make data corruption(but can make network separation).

Now I am building on-premise autometic deploying software using Kubernetes as a outsourcing job, so I tried to find SAN for resolving stateful data. After many searching, I realize only local path will guarantee stability of database filesystem. So we mark storage node, and all type of stateful app(limited kinds by playform) is deploied on that node. So we can easily back up and manage storages.

As a deployment manager and backup automation, container for database have a great functionality. All file produced by container are jailed where I specified and can be copied or backed up.
(for stabaility, replication is first class. pause-backup-resume or copying on running will make operational unstability. you can use both for backup, replication first and make backup using that replication node)
so if someone uses their brain to compute such things...it is in the gray area depending upon casino?
First of all, we do use emulators. Personally, as a Go compiler author I have written several emulators to develop (or debug) several Go ports, and I have used many emulators written by others, ranging from open source, to commercial, and even to secret emulators that have never left the hardware division department.

Yes, as a compiler writer I deal with how painfully slow these emulators are. Usually it's not a problem. When it's a problem, the payout is usually large enough so that modifying the tests is a good idea.

But all of this doesn't matter in general, we were discussing about the Go continuous integration builders. These tests run for every commit (and even before commit), for every change, from any contributor, and test everything. Emulators, even fast and inaccurate ones, and even most low-end hardware is simply too slow to allow for this.

Funny you mention ARM and "discounted licenses", because we've been under negotiations for several years to get something like that from them, and even though the arm64 Go port was commissioned by ARM, we still didn't get it yet. I've been promised we'd get what we need, but the bureaucracy and lawyers and approvals simply make any endeavour like this take literally years, and what we will get in the end is something that can be used by a select few, not by any potential Go contributor.

Yes, the Go project has access to all targets. It's all real hardware. It's a requirement for any new port. And every change is tested and must not break any target.
Why do you use Firefox?
Most of your claims are false.
And for argument sake if they were true, let's face it: Ukraine not only was independent since 1991, but it's territory integrity was guaranteed by Russia and USA.

Technology salaries are probably a drop in the bucket cost-wise compared to the profits that will be made from deregulation of the industry. So while Goldman might have to pay a few million more in salaries, it's offset by the billions more in profits that they will rake in (over the short-term, until they destroy the economy again, that is).

Tech companies aren't going to see a similar measure to increase their profits to offset the labor costs increases.
There are two products - Realm Mobile Database[0] and Realm Mobile Platform[1].

The former is, as the HN post suggests, basically a database for mobile applications which you can use in place of SQLite or as a key value store.

The latter combines the database software which runs on the mobile devices with the Realm Object Server[2] which runs server side to provide something like Firebase (disclaimer: I've used the Mobile Database but haven't used the Mobile Platform (and Object Server) yet).

Recent languages like Go and Rust have taken over a lot of mind share—at least on sites like Hacker News

C++ isn't "good" or "bad", it's just OLD (and is backwards compatible with an even OLDER language).

We are continually learning which language abstractions give a lot of implementation leverage (e.g. garbage collection), and which introduce unnecessary complexity.

Any new(er) language has the benefit of incorporating those learnings into the language design.
With correct play slots have some of the lowest house edges per dollar bet. Sports betting has a fairly high edge, 4.5% on normal bets and much higher on exotics. The difference is you make a few sports bets and walk away, while with slots you keep cycling money through until you lose it.
> I don't understand the current political system at all

because you're trying to view it through the lens of "rational, beneficial policies that are supported by a democratic majority" whereas our current system is "niche issues of low utility but high tribal divisiveness used to distract the democratic majority while we secretly empower monopolist corporations"
They will certainly kill city-run broadband and anything else that the big companies view as encroaching on their monopolies.

In 2008 we should have let the banks fail and all the wealth in the world evaporate like it's supposed to in a Capitalistic society. Instead, we basically made the banks bigger and the rich richer and more powerful.
There is a very long list of countries that are doing better than fine and severely restricting gun ownership.

There are long lists of entities who safely ignore tail risk events - that's true almost by the definition of "tail risk".

That doesn't mean buying a cheap insurance policy against tail risk events is a bad idea.

Over my whole life, I've moved on average once every two years. Moving is a disruption but it's also an opportunity to keep things fresh, to keep yourself flexible and awake and open to new experience. It helps keep you from settling into a rut, sleepwalking through life doing the same things over and over. Moving is also a great opportunity to simplify your life and get rid of all the crap that otherwise accumulates. You can pare it all down to the essentials before you move, so you get to enjoy a clean new minimal space. Of course the possessions will pile back up again eventually, but you can try things out differently this time.
I've been using and loving Zappa[1] lately. Basically it lets you seamlessly deploy a flask app to AWS Lambda -- that solves your deployment, scaling, upgrading, staging, backups, etc. And local dev is just running the flask app locally.

Sure, but writing a graph (any kind, but even more so undirected) in a language without GC is a minefield from the standpoint of memory safery. You simply need some kind of reference counting. High-level languages like C# and F# hide this need behind using GC for everything, but Rust tries to be lower level than those and therefore exposes the extra layer.

I am still on the journey to wholesale container acceptance, but I have been finding more and more use-cases that are delightfully solved by them. My favorite so far is a WordPress hosting platform with some shared infrastructure (web server, caching reverse proxy, and database) but each PHP-FPM instance jailed in its own container. This lets me:

* easily chroot PHP (this is surprisingly difficult otherwise)

* restrict MariaDB access by IP address

* constrain the resource consumption of each application as necessary (i.e. to prevent an out-of-control PHP script from swamping the box)

* independently determine each application's PHP version

And because each managed application is (basically) a Docker image and a Caddyfile, it's easily extensible to non-PHP things. I can feel the lightbulb flickering but I'm not yet at full k8s awareness. The shared infrastructure isn't containerized, but it could easily be, and it's all running on one VM, but it could be distributed across multiple.

Containers don't solve the common problems, they just give you more tools to work with. With databases, for example, you still need to figure out whether each application gets its own database instance? schema? user?, a replication strategy, a failover strategy, a backup strategy, etc. You can use either a bind-mounted host directory or a shared-storage volume for the backing store, just like always, or a newfangled data volume container.

I am more comfortable sharing a database instance between multiple schemas and users because I can do IP-specific grants, but if I wanted to do one per application, I could do that too!
I get that creating a genuine random number generator isn't easy, but surely this points out that it's something the slot machines should have rather than a PRNG?
It's not Chrome.
The problem with that analysis is that ignores the risk. A 40% chance of winning the lottery would be great, because in the 60% case you've only lost a few bucks on the ticket. However, a 40% chance of winning in a casino is not ideal, because in the 60% case you've lost a ton of money.

I think another reason why "just install a railing" doesn't address the problem if you can't see, you're counting on everyone else realizing the problem and fixing it with a railing, whereas a head-mounted collision-avoidance system works whether or not anyone else realizes there's a problem.

Ideally you'd have "defense in depth" such that your head-mounted collision avoidance system is just a fallback, but honestly it's one of those things where it would be best to take it into your own hands if possible.
I think you're taking an awfully optimistic view of how much people understand or care about this issue.
Its not that your wages are artificially increased, its that an H1B worker's wages are artificially decreased because they are trapped in the job and are unable to negotiate at market rate. They can't leave their job, so they can't negotiate a fair salary. The green-card costs the company $5k, but gives them a worker who can't leave for years.
I don't thing Windows 10 on mobile is dead, but it definitely seems dormant/sleeping right now.

Consumer-facing hardware especially seems to be in a lull. I think you might have a harder time right now finding a Windows 10 device in the price point that would make you happy. That saying, if you did find one in that price point, I'm not sure there's a good reason not to buy the Windows phone if you like the ecosystem better than Android.
WW END HALF THE POPULATION COULD DIE IF Not STOPPED
The US version is a bit more far-reaching but the Common Market[1] allows me to sell almost anything in any EU country.

Incidentally, Amazon is one such example. If I buy something on the German amazon.de the contract is formed with Amazon EU S.à r.l. in Luxemburg and the goods are often shipped from a Polish warehouse.

The difficulties companies face within the EU are largely language and culture related rather than legal.

there's a lot of emphasis on this particular manifestation of the larger issue (our society is ruled by monopolist rent-seeking corporations) because it is 1) highly visible and effects something in everyone's daily life and 2) was previously the subject of a partially successful popular campaign that temporarily pushed back against monopolists

Of course not, but for years there's been a 'digital can do anything analog can do so why even use analog' from the digital side of music engineering. To which I answer, because I don't want to have perfect consistency and predictability in every context. There are contexts in which I want imprecision, nonlinearity, and surprise so that I can select rather than design.

I'm not sure how to articulate this, but it's a general problem in our technology culture. To me this is not that different from not wanting to write code all the time. You know what I hate about writing code? When I'm working with unfamiliar languages/frameworks/libraries I don't know what all the available options are, whereas when I'm working with more visual tools I can see all the options even if I don't understand what they do, and I can select and experiment and, well, play with the options until I find something useful or interesting. I can't play when I'm writing code because my experiments are just liable to result in syntax errors or suchlike.

Writing code appeals to people who like learning a bunch of things first and then recombining them. I find this kind of learning slow and tedious and I keep wonder why I'm doing all this syntax bullshit instead of letting the computer handle it for me so I can focus on my domain-specific ideas.

Likewise when I talk with DSP programmers about how I like the unpredictability and nonlinearities of analog signals, they say things like 'I could add a random noise generator to the oscillator algorithm' or so (I'm simplifying, but that's a design reality on many electronic musical instruments). This is often a self-defeatinmg strategy, at least in the short term - witness Roland corporation bending over backwards to do The! Most! Accurate! Component! simulation! Ever! in a recent line of digital devices featuring 'analog circuit behavior'. Meanwhile their smaller rival Korg has completely crushed them in the very important entry and mid-level market segments by simply producing what the market wanted - a wide variety of cheap analog gear, mixing both classic and new designs, and labeling the boards and publishing the schematics so people can mod them if they're handy with a soldering iron.
> lets you marshall data between the interpreters.

To be clear, Inline::Perl5 (and the other inlines like Inline::Python) automatically marshal data.

And exceptions. And classes (so you can sub-class a Perl 5 or Python etc. class in Perl 6). Etc.
Capitalism, as a system, tends toward wealth accumulation, and that wouldn't have been less true if they allowed a bunch of banks to fail.

I'm impressed with the direction they've laid out. It is great to see a deliberate effort is being made to make the language easier to learn and to strengthen the community's ability to leverage shared code.
By way of an unrealistic formalisation there you actually assumed that salaries are determined exclusively by labour supply and far more predictably and linearly than possible. The complexity of the economy, greatly confounds simplistic formulas.
There is no tech in the universe that can cope with cascading failures, like ALL instances of a docker container crashing on ALL hosts one by one in quick succession. This usually happen because an app hits an unexpected bug in the docker disk or the docker network stack and this is the major source of concerns I have with Docker.
The documentation is not easy to read, and it often lacks important descriptive context about how to use a library. I started learning Rust about a month ago, and I feel like the documentation has made my life more difficult than it needed to.

> I just want to vote for a party that supports abortion rights, gun rights, a open Internet, and a generally smaller government (focused more on research and education).

The first thing you'll need to do is engage in activism directed at replacing the current electoral system with one that supports more than two viable parties (or, alternatively, convinces enough people of your set of priorities that it replaces one of the two major parties or becomes the platform of one of them.)

This activism will, necessarily, need to be a lot more than just voting.
I'd love them to standardize the serving aspects, in addition to the formatting aspects. Changes like these seem somewhat arbitrary but yet impact everything end-to-end.
But AirBnB and Uber aren't actually sharing. The uber driver isn't carpooling on their way to work, they're your driver, which is a luxury. Likewise an entire apartment on vacation is much better than a hotel room.

That's not the case. I pointed out your specific picture is of an American store and therefore doesn't hold an value, despite it being a German chain (which you pointed to).

I certainly don't doubt that some supermarkets are built in the way you are describing (with the checkout being like that) but I personally haven't seen one yet.
