Completely agreed. The landscape 2-3 years ago looked incredibly different, and I picked Mesos for a rather ambitious project. After it became relatively clear that k8s was going to eclipse Mesos and not by a little bit, trying to unwind that decision basically cost me my job through some political infighting. It's a shame, but such is the price of early adoption, I guess.

Given the same information, I'm really confident that I'd still make both choices the same way.
The Safari API is severely lacking relative to Chrome/Firefox. It would be great if Apple would spend some time getting Safari up to parity so devs can create a more consistent user experience for their browser.
I never could work out what JBoss was meant to be either.
Better yet, put it in an index mutual fund.
Nice. I didn't see a link in the NYT article.
I would argue it's a sort of (nonrandom) proxy sample in the sense that they're sampling a fraction of the people actually programming on the weekend.

Oh wow, I encountered this exact problem today for the first time. It's absolutely insane!

I went for a routine doctor's visit a month ago, and paid the $30 copay or whatever it was before the visit. Today I got a bill for $208 where my insurance covers $193, which comes out as them wanting exactly $15 extra from me.

I have Kaiser insurance, I went to a Kaiser facility, saw a Kaiser doctor. It is completely incomprehensible to me how they couldn't know that my visit was actually going to be $45 beforehand, such that I could have paid that instead of the $30 I did. The $208 is obviously just a bullshit number some system pulled out of its ass, and the insurance coverage is just bullshit - 15. I don't get it, it's pure madness!
The next step up is auto-GCAS. That system, which started going into USAF F-16s in 2014, has already saved four planes and pilots. Here's a video of the cockpit view. The pilot had briefly lost consciousness during a high-G maneuver, and the auto-GCAS system rolled the plane wings-level and pulled it out of a dive and into a mild climb.[1]

Work is going on to develop auto-GCAS for aircraft without the maneuverability of a fighter.

OS X is not Linux. It's a BSD-derivative, and doesn't use the GNU toolchain. It isn't that it's "not with the program." It's that it's not the operating system, or toolchain, you're familiar with. Install homebrew and GNU tools[1] if you want them.

If you used an operating system that shipped with BusyBox, you'd be similarly frustrated. But operating systems are tradeoffs with pros/cons. Using a different set of tools makes it distinct, not "out of date".

WebAssembly doesn't currently have a way to expose APIs to it directly. It only has an interface to call JavaScript.

Maybe that will change, but blocking on a major new WebAssembly feature did not seem wise.

If you "forget" to give the cat any treats, it's not surprising it will "forget" to perform the trick. You're not describing a break. You're describing a period of retraining.
Indian villages are still tribal. The tribal cheiftains win the elections. As there is no legitimate methods to be chieftains, the way to be one is to show power or be a criminal. Now real power is with politician, and crininals become politicians. There is also corruption. The higher posts are occupied by castes in higher levels. There has to be a way to create a level playing field and that is not to stop corruption but force the bureaucrats to take bribes from all sections of the society. For that you need criminals as leaders. So OBC, other backward communities (official name) and communities in lower level elect leaders with criminal background. The communities in the top level have their members in bureaucracy and they are "influential".
It's funny how people lose sight of what the 'cloud' really is. Abstractions can be self defeating in some instances.
Is this some kind of procedurally generated programming related nonsense?
Bitcoin does have a use case--you can buy drugs with it. I'm not going to judge whether this is moral or not, but the point is it's serving a previously unmet need. There have been tons of attempts at cryptocurrency before Bitcoin, but Bitcoin came and it just worked to serve this purpose. And it enabled whole new type of transactions online. Currently it's definitely not mainstream currency but at least it has a clear set of customers from which they can expand.

Which means, it's not like Bitcoin invented a non existing demand. It already existed, and Bitcoin came and served the previously unmet demand.

My question was whether this urbit technology is something like Bitcoin where it serves a previously unmet (AND significant) demand. All previous attempts at this approach failed NOT because the technology was bad but because not enough people used them, which is different from Bitcoin.

"They should do what Time Magazine does..."

Sorry, but you have really made a blunder here. The magazine you're critiquing is the foremost American journal of left political thought. It has been publishing weekly since the Civil War. Its editors, writers, and readers expect to read difficult, complex pieces there. It wants nothing to do with Time, which, being an upstart Luce rag, is the opposite of it in so many ways.

Anyway. Doubtless, Jacobs excites some contradictory impulses in the Nation readership. As a small article in another leftist journal (http://inthesetimes.com/article/2743/jane_jacobs_reconsidere...) put it:

"Jacobs’ iconoclastic ideas raised questions about her political beliefs. Her opposition to the Vietnam War and her role in organizing movements for urban social justice seem to mark her as a woman of the left. And yet, conservatives also embraced Jacobs’ wars with City Hall, joining her on the barricades to stop federal urban renewal policy. They found comfort in her cantankerous individualism and her attack on planners and government bureaucracy. Her economic ideas–which locate the roots of productivity in ingenuity rather than class struggle–attract libertarians."

This is the reason a short article on Jacobs in this magazine, especially, makes no sense.
The videos you linked were so hard to watch.

> India is a land of lawlessness and that's a reality.

It's a little more subtle : well connected people to whatever they want and get away with no consequences. People who dare to oppose these powerful people discover the true meaning of hell. It's true practically everywhere in the world including the US.

IMO for all the shit that social networks receive (for good reasons), one of the side effects is that it's a lot easier to share such gross violations of law an example of which are the above videos. In a way social networks give people power.
What's with your negative and sarcastic response to a commenter who actually cares about a serious situation?

If something he said was untrue or misleading, please cite facts or refute so we can be in on the joke.
You should learn to multi-task :-) But seriously, we all prioritize and fight for things what we care deeply about. In the end, I live in a better world thanks to people like you who fight for civil rights.
The thing that struck me was the Glenn Extreme Environments Rig (GEER), (https://geer.grc.nasa.gov/geer-overview/overview-of-geer/). That thing is a beast! Operating 24 days with 470 C and 1400 psia gas mixture (including acids) sounds like an amazing feat.
Some people have mentioned that you might want to stay on good terms with the company.

The problem is that you're dealing with lawyers, and they want only one thing. They don't really care about you once they have what they want.

The other problem for them is that your legal relationship ended when your employment ended. So they don't have any power, other than what you choose to give to them.

I'm guessing they lost the original contracts and need the Deed to be on solid legal ground.

So I'd make them squirm a bit.
This is really nice. Any sources for the data?
politics in a nutshell

Yes. Few scumbags from a family had been holding the helm in India. Fortunately, their next generation is a bit retard, hopefully they'll weed out.
The vision of public blockchains (such as Ethereum) is to make the core of financial transactions automated and non-profit. While there may still be profit to be made on the margin (credit scores), the vision is that currency and equity trades will happen on decentralized markets that are automated and non-profit.

...Even if this vision occurs, it's not obvious how soon it would occur. For example, will we need stable-value cryptocurrencies before any of this can occur? Will anything significant occur in the next two years, or will it be five? OR more?
The author of the blogpost in another comment around here said he aliased csvtool to cat, hence cat'ing a csv. That said, unless there's another CLI csvtool program, the one I've read about can't plot. But there are CLI plotters out there.

Anyway, like I said, I'm not trying to say the post is factual. Just trying to point out that the fact that he cat'ed a CSV and got a plot isn't that big a deal (and shouldn't really be an indication of fraud), in a world where so many of us customize our working environments.
I know rust is a systems language and that that can and should remain it's focus. But it does seem high level enough to use as an applications language (which c and c++ are still used for as well).

I'd did speak to a college recently that generally keeps up with new trends and he hadn't heard of rust though, so maybe the community is very small.

Do you have any data to back that up?

At least when I was a student, I would be pretty unlikely to ask on Stack Overflow because I'd probably need answers quickly and not want to wait for a response, but I don't expect everyone to be like me.

I also don't even feel like my assignments were typically due on Monday or Tuesday. I remember often students would ask their teachers to make their assignments due Friday instead of Monday.
I am curious how the compensation of the engineers compares to that of the traders, whose job function their systems have replaced. Not only base salary, but bonuses, commissions, and all those extras. Do the engineers get comparable extras, or are they a "flat cost"?
India has one of the largest below poverty line and uneducated population in the world. Isn't it obvious that you can just win them over giving them a little money as less as 500 or 1000 Rs which is gonna make their days.
I remember when the voting guys come to my town, the parties generally setup up a buffet system for lunch and if you had voted for the party you get free lunch. An then there is giving free gifts like TV's, Phone's and mixers if you vote for them. Tell me can you challenge a system like this??
Calling it out like that for being slightly political comes across as being offended to some extent.

This is easy to say when you live in a situation where you're part of the majority and all your behavior is within strict limits of the current culture.

Take homosexuality for example. Having that information in the open means death in plenty of places. In addition, even in places like the USA it has become accepted only fairly recently but would have gotten you in serious trouble a while back. Culture change can't happen if any event towards this change is immediately punished. The change needs to start small in closed private social circles. Only when a lot of private battles have been won is there hope for a more mainstream acceptance of a new norm.

Take being Jewish for example. In 1920s Germany it wasn't that big of a deal if people knew you were Jewish. However things changed, different people got in power and started to abuse it. What was previously a simple case of "I got nothing to hide" suddenly turned into a question of life & death. It's naive to think that these kind of events will never happen again in any place in the world.

Losing privacy would greatly hurt any cultural change that needs private law breaking, and this includes any future laws.

As for technological progress stopping, of course it isn't going to stop. However this goes both ways. Privacy protecting technology also has progress. Any technology that reduces privacy has a counter-technology that protects privacy. What's more, we can use the same political system that could hurt us with a lack of privacy to instead protect our privacy by prohibiting/limiting privacy breaking activities.

Of course no progress just inherently happens. There are actual driven & talented people working on both sides every day. There is no inevitable victor here, there isn't even a clearly leading side yet, it's very close with strong trends in both privacy-reducing & privacy-increasing directions. Every contribution matters and it's definitely not too late to decisively lead us to a far more private world.

Long before Titan or Pascal or any of this built-for-ML stuff, a high-end PCIe gaming card (or quadro/firegl, which were built for sci/eng visualization) was the only way to dabble in OpenCL et al.
I have deployed several clusters with kubernetes and with Swarm. I think my wording was hyphenated at the wrong place.
Swarm has a new yml file format - the compose v3 which is pretty damn awesome. Kubernetes has had yml files for a while, but the gap in simplicity/usability is massive.

Which is what my point was with minkube and kubeadm and kompose - for swarm, you use a single tool for either a single node cluster.. or a multi node cluster. Even more, kompose was invented to read from the same Docker Swarm compose file format - because it is so intuitive.

I'll go one step further - kubeadm does not actually have high availability support, so you actually have to use kargo or kops to reasonably deploy in production.

Kubernetes introduces a lot of upfront complexity with little benefit sometimes. For example, kargo is failing with Flannel, but works with Calico (and so on and so forth). Bare metal deployments with kubernetes are a big pain because the load balancer setups have not been built for it - most kubernetes configs depend on cloud based load balancers (like ELB). In fact, the code for bare metal load balancer integration has not been fully written for kubernetes.

Now, my point is not that kubernetes sucks - I think its a great piece of tech. But its around why do people think Docker Swarm will die.. or that it sucks? Because, relatively speaking, while kubernetes NEEDS all kinds of complicated orchestration tools (and consultants!) to set it up .. Swarm on the other hand is damn easy to setup by a developer building his first stack.

Is Docker Swarm the heroku to Kubernetes AWS ?
If my experience in finance is anything to go by then they're the cheapest engineers money can buy.
With slimv I don't even have to run lein repl, it'll run it for me (well, 'lein swank') if it hasn't already so long as I'm somewhere with a project.clj. What I don't like about having my repl and editor separate is that it's harder to get or search values from the repl back into the editor. With slimv the repl is literally just another vim window/tile so it's easy to swap over, grab a value or search history, swap back, or enter interactive mode and type stuff.

Does vim-fireplace easily let you replace forms with values (or macroexpands) or evaluate a form and have its value put somewhere? By default slimv lets you save the expression you're evaluating (which is useful for testing things) but I think I'd have to set something custom up if I wanted it to store the value somewhere or replace the just-evaluated expression. If vim-fireplace did that out of the box I'd probably consider it again. I know emacs can do it, watching people perform/livecode with Overtone et al. is instructive.

Other things I appreciate about slimv are when I type "(defn " I see a nice helper below saying "(defn [name doc-string? attr-map... prepost-map? body) + attr-map?])", this applies to everything. If I type ",s" on any symbol it'll show me the (doc) for that symbol, ",h" takes me to the online clojure docs. When I type tab it auto-suggests core functions, presumably through standard omnicomplete features though. (Edit: another useful thing, I can simply trace/untrace function calls with ",t".) Does vim-fireplace support all/any of that out of the box? It sounds like it supports my "screen" flow just fine these days but what else does it give me?

Fine, I don't need healthcare for this argument.

The weird requirements are there to satisfy impulses like yours: make sure that we only give welfare to the truly needy, and to make sure that their lives on welfare are not too good. The whole idea of UBI is to replace that with an unconditional transfer of a fixed amount of cash to every person.

If it's a fixed amount per person, people who choose less desirable housing will have more purchasing power for luxuries. I claim that any attempt to counter this effect will quickly devolve into another system of "weird rules," probably subvertible, and certainly with unintended consequences. For example, what if I am cohabiting and want to stop? Do I need to justify to the state that it must now house me and my partner separately at twice the expense? What if I'm faking the separation in order to rent out "my" apartment on the black market and keep living with my partner? What if I'm being abused? What if I'm sick of exurban Iowa and my "grandmother" "needs" me to take care of her in Haight-Ashbury?

The insight of UBI is that the government's attempt to untangle questions like this is doomed to fail, and attempting to do so is an unacceptable degree of interference in private life, so it should not try.

From what you're saying, I'm pretty sure you actually oppose UBI, and just want changes to the existing means-tested, strings-attached welfare system.
I agree on the dissonance, that rankled me too. What does "as usable as any widely used app" mean, in the context of a hobbyist OS for hackers who have already committed to learning a weird new functional programming language?

I interpreted that whole bit to mean "We tried to make a commandline-free UI frontend for it and failed." But I am glad they're trying to make it more usable! Last time I installed it, using the commandline from the web interface was really clunky, you pretty much had to be at a shell.
Many US politicians and officials would easily be considered war criminals if there were any sort of binding international law. Even more would likely be jailed for activities that are well known if they weren't already powerful.

Once criminal organizations get powerful enough they can start doing extensive image management and PR, as well as building elaborate headquarters complete with fancy architecture, columns, etc.

Governments are simply the most successful criminal organizations. We the people are continually fooled by the grandeur of the columns and the silly dignity of the titles.

We're also overly grateful for the gifts of patronage they dole out to keep us at bay such as welfare, medals, etc.

The more pomp and circumstance, the more ritual and solemnity, the bigger the racket. It should be no surprise that both candidates in the recent US election still have numerous FBI investigations into their business dealings, and the majority of Americans considered both to be highly unfit for office.

Our presidential motorcade is a sham... The vehicles are tanks made to look like limousines, yet we'd look down upon a foreign leader who paraded around in a tank.

All tyrants attract sycophants, and in our case they make up most of the political and media elite. The most humiliating display in our nation is the exceedingly rare occasion when a president condescends to sit for a one-on-one interview. The softball questions are spoken with a humility (and a reassurance that there certainly won't be any sort of tough follow-up question) that should make us all gag.

In the US, there is a steady stream of news stories about corrupt or otherwise undesirable situations elsewhere in the world.
