You're probably thinking of Object Windows Library (OWL) [1], a C++ library that was available to both Turbo Pascal for Windows and Borland C++, and which was briefly available for other platforms, including several Unix variants.

Borland also had the older Turbo Vision toolkit, but that was for MS-DOS. OWL was designed a very similar class hiearchy.

Kylix was doomed from day one; I saw an official presentation (IIRC by Marco Cantù himself) ages ago and was shocked by its slugginess. At that time I was playing with Delphi2 at home and using Delphi 4 at work, and both of them literally run circles around Kylix.
Today Delphi on Linux to me is called Lazarus. Some nasty bugs plaguing it are long gone since like 3 years and is very stable at the moment. You can even install it on a ARM based board (Orange PI PC here) which means it doesn't simply cross compile the code but the IDE itself runs on ARM architecture!
I think it's a matter of scope.

For some relatively small projects, k8s is sufficient. But pretty quickly you end up needing more and more functionality and you end up in a larger stack like OpenShift.

That's the place that Mesos and DC/OS (IMHO) shine: when you're working with large clusters (1000+) running very different workloads. Because in that scenario, k8s is still pretty immature and you're going to inevitably need to solve all the other problems that OpenShift, DC/OS, Rancher or other stacks solve. Just like Linux distros, in theory, anyone can do it. In practice, it's a pain and you want to pick up a standard distro. That's what these stacks provide: a pre-configured suite of open source tools that get you way more than k8s or Mesos or Marathon on their own provide.

Actually, this isn't true in the slightest.
The VAST majority of management consulting firms, law firms, and yes, even investment firms like hedge funds are very small and closely held. Most do not get to global size with hundreds of employees ala Renassaisance or BCG or MoFo.

They are maybe 6 people, 10 people and as a result, most people in them do find that they can, in fact, structure their own hours to be family friendly.

This does not mean they are not competitive in their niche. It just means they are small and prefer to be that way, in part because the people in them prefer to have time for their lifestyles.
I don't think that a counter-argument. If we rephrase it as: no entity thus far has a good grasp on the current state of the world at any given moment and furthermore, no one or group can really predict the effect of their actions on the world state, to speak of predicting the future more generally, it becomes clearer that neither the NSA nor think tanks are specially advantaged. The more correlated the world becomes (the more quickly information propagates) the harder this becomes to do.

What the spying and surveillance does is to allow Just In Time flagging at best, spying on a specific target, or as an investigative tool once an event has already occurred. But to use the information to predict what might occur (which is important for effective scheming) has not proven to be possible. Knowing which is signal amongst the noise is extremely difficult. If https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Good_Judgment_Project is to be believed, access to classified information does not make one anymore capable than someone with an intuitive grasp of base rates, properly updates to new information and an Internet connection.
The information made intuitive sense to me. I just couldn't apply what was read directly to the exercises. It felt as though something crucial had been omitted. That something turns out to be calculus.

One of the biggest unknowns is the time variable. Recall that it took approximately 3 billion years to go from single-cellular life to multi-cellular life, and another 600 million to get to our level of intelligence.

We have no idea how long our civilization will last on a geologic time scale and no idea how long it could take another form of life to evolve in the same manner.

Perhaps there was a planet where life existed, but intelligence did not evolve quickly enough before the fusion death of the star. Say it took 6-7 billion to go from single-cellular life to multi-cellular life. By then, the planet might have heated up just enough to become uninhabitable, or the star may have gone out entirely. A star only 30% more massive than the Sun will have ~50% of its longevity, so a 5 billion timeframe might be insufficient to develop life.
Why would you be concerned about coworkers making "too much" in relation to you? I mean, if the company were going to close as a result of pay, then I'd potentially be concerned (more that it's a failing company or a failure of management), but I can't imagine a scenario where I would look at a fellow coworker and have it harm me any that they're getting paid well.
The case you are looking for is Jacobson v. Massachusetts [0], which is where I pulled my excerpts from. It held that the 14th in this case allows forced vaccination (Well, doesn't violate). I'm familiar with the Buck v. Bell (Forced sterilization is allowed, as you mentioned) case as well as Prince v. Massachusetts (Schools can require vaccinations), though the argument made by the courts in all cases was to the effect that the society out-weighs the individual in the matter of health. What we implement on-top of that is up to the legislature, but the courts have shown an understanding that the state has a role in health.

Indeed. My impression is that American citizens are guaranteed eventual re-entry into the country, though perhaps after some detention time and without their gadgets. So an American can refuse to give up passwords as a matter of principle.

Non-citizens, even green card holders, don't have that guarantee. I don't think you have the right to a lawyer before CBP puts you on a plane flight back to your point of origin. So if you decide to be principled and claim that you have the right to withhold your data from searches, you're doing so with the risk of having to continue your life elsewhere.

There were some other issues then (I worked for Borland at the time, QAing Kylix) including not really understanding the FOSS community and GPL-the-social-movement part very well.

There was a particularly big flap over them not stripping the corporate audit clause from the free Kylix Open Edition version targeted at OSS dev; and another regarding enforcing the mandatory "Made with Kylix Open Edition" splash screen that was linked into your app at the compiler level, since all the library code was technically modifiable per licensing.

I also seem to recall that they managed to standardize on Red Hat 7.2, which I think had the much maligned gcc 2.96 fork in it and possibly an older glibc, and then had problems with later kernel/glibc/something along those lines versions such that you were locked into the "bad" version of Red Hat using it.

I probably have some of the tech details jumbled 16 years later, but the TL;DR was that the development community for Linux is nothing like the development community for Windows, especially back then. There were simply different cultural expectations and a hugely diverse set of environments to target, along with a swiftly moving ecosystem to link against.

Upshot, Kylix more or less flopped and Borland switched gears to Java/JBuilder-based IDEs for C++ compilation (C++BuilderX), then back around full circle later focusing on single-platform IDEs for .NET/native Windows.

Dynamic programming is very similar to caching and memoization, but is not the same thing.

Are you arguing that a person might have 1,000 hours of time each week if he hires a bunch of people to do work for him? That is not how it works.

I mean, you can define it that way, but then you and I are just talking about completely different things that happen to use the same spelling, and this discussion is pointless.
Windows Forms was (and is) primitive compared to how easy qt/gtk and just about every windows toolkit ever made. It was built for machines to generate, not for humans to code, so when the code generation breaks (and it will) so does winforms.

I rather think he thought (or at least told himself) that the Empire would lead to greater happiness for them in the long run. And I'm unconvinced that Gandhi deserves all the respect he gets — he was a man, not a perfect saint. The Brits weren't certainly not saints in India either, of course.

That would almost certainly lead to a break with Cocoa.

Those, for Swift programmers, more natural-feeling replacements will be harder to call from Objective-C than an API designed for Objective-C would be.

The only way to make neither side unhappy about it would be to provide two 100% equivalent interfaces, one for Cocoa and one for Carbon. That is unfeasible, so there will be differences. Even if they manage to write functionally and preformance-wise identical interfaces, not shipping them at the exact same time still would make the other side feel discriminated against.

I expect the first Swift-only library to appear on iOS because, on that platform, Apple can know exactly how much new code uses which language. That makes timing the transition easier. I also expect people to write glue code to call it from Objective-C, but that will be a rear-guard action.

A few years after that, I expect Apple to drop Cocoa. Deep below Swift, all the core stuff such as strings will still use the same code, but that will be hidden behind a Swift interface. After all, this is Apple, a company that isn't afraid to drop backwards compatibility. This is what happened with Carbon and Cocoa, too (how many years did that take?)

It won't happen overnight, though. Swift first needs to gain a few features (dynamism, more reflection, a frozen ABI, to mention a few), and the tooling must mature.

I think the first feature breaking interoperability with Objective-C may be a borrow checker, as that is something they have expressed interest in.
Title really shouldn't include "Mesosphere." It should be "Marathon" or "DC/OS". Or, if you keep Mesosphere, it should be "Google, Mesosphere, and Docker."

Aside from that, it's not a bad overview. I particularly like this quote:

“Mesos and Kubernetes are largely aimed at solving similar problems of running clustered applications; they have different histories and different approaches to solving the problem. Mesos focuses its energy on very generic scheduling and plugging in multiple different schedulers.” In contrast, says Burns, “Kubernetes was designed from the ground up to be an environment for building distributed applications from containers. It includes primitives for replication and service discovery as core primitives, whereas such things are added via frameworks in Mesos. … Swarm is an effort by Docker to extend the existing Docker API to make a cluster of machines look like a single Docker API.”

Mesos is useful when you have requirements that don't fit in k8s' rather opinionated world view. If you can use k8s, it's great, but it's also changing rapidly, so be aware you're on the bleeding edge. DockerSwarm is Docker finding a business model. (I'm biased here)
Think in terms of natural selection. Behaviors (and personalities) that make more successful choices in that environment will tend to survive in the environment, regardless of whether they know what they are doing.

Most of the bumbling fails. Some of the bumbling works. And so the most “effective” politicians (and organizations) will survive, even if their success has little to do with deliberate scheming.
Yeah, it's a risky strategy. I recently interviewed with a company that had "thick skin" as one of their hiring criteria, and told candidates that they insulted each other, and someone getting hired couldn't take things to seriously.
I'm so glad to hear that. I've been thinking for years that MRIs seem like an industry that could and should be disrupted. The benefits could be massive.

I probably missed it in the article, but how does Distrokid make money?
Most people can see through "I strongly disagree for the following reasons..." as a euphemism for "your idea is stupid, and this is why..." And the more you emphasize "strongly" in the former, the more likely "fucking" materializes between "is" and "stupid" in the latter.

That kind of bland vocabulary makes one's statements sound like limp static. Corporate dialect is contrived to remove strong (corporate-environment-inappropriate) emotion from your speech. If you're well acquainted with your colleagues, then I'd hope you could express yourself more genuinely. You're probably more relatable than a peppy talking head who never offends anyone.
It sounds like your current setup is working just fine, so I don't see a compelling reason to switch.

When you start to deploy many applications, and they need to talk to each other, and you need service discovery, automatic restart, rolling upgrades, horizontal scaling, etc - then Kubernetes brings a lot of value.
When I first heard about Deis it was heavily compared to Flynn [1]. It's a little hard to tell from the outside if the two are still competitors or if Deis is focusing on a lower level of abstraction.

The 9th Circuit one was not a decision on the EO itself, rather the temporary restraining order that the judge in Seattle placed on the EO while arguments were heard to determine its legality.
Oh, to be sure. Neither alone long suffices.

In any case, I'm not trying to argue with you, and I hope I don't come across as if I were. It's just that I feel like there's a strong reaction in this thread to a bias, whether perceived or actual, on the part of the article author and in the direction of courtesy. So my purpose here is to sound a cautionary note, and attempt to keep visible in the discussion what I regard to be the nuance of the matter.

Especially since a lot of engineers default to brusqueness, which I totally understand while finding often counterproductive. It can work in a collegial setting, among secure peers who share mutual respect, but in any other context it just looks like asshole behavior - and that is exactly what it is.

To understand one's audience, and adjust one's persuasive style to suit, is a fundamental aspect of rhetoric, and given the ubiquity of office politics and the necessity thereof - a topic meriting its own essay, which I will not write on a phone - such understanding and adjustment is important to professional success, as well. I think that's something it is easy for us to overlook, because computers only need to be told and then sworn at, not persuaded.

Also, all else equal, it's both more ethically sound and more useful not to act like an asshole. Leaving a trail of hurt feelings behind you is no way to go through life. Sure, we might excuse it in someone with a vision on par with that of Steve Jobs. But no one here is on par with Steve Jobs.

Anecdotally, many if not most passionate chemists I've known started with at least one of two often-illicit "gateway" interests in adolescence or early adulthood:

- The chemistry of pyrotechnics and explosives

- The chemistry of mind-altering substances

I had both of these bugs in my late teens and early twenties. For mind-altering substances I wasn't personally interested in get-rich-quick or get-high-quick, but drug prohibition offended me on an axiomatic level. I spent a lot of time in the library looking for ideas that would circumvent government precursor control for various drugs, and shared my findings with other like-minded people on the late, great Hive: https://the-hive.archive.erowid.org/forum/forums.pl

I never actually synthesized any controlled substances, but it was a great thrill finding ways to walk up to the line. (Eventually I gave this up and I suggest that others not follow in my footsteps, unless you have really strong incentives. Just collecting literature and synthesizing theoretical precursors to scheduled drugs is a great way to end up in legal trouble in the US, even if you're carefully avoiding making the drugs themselves.)

In terms of mindset, government control of drugs and their precursors is somewhat analogous to DRM for molecules instead of data, with amateur psychonauts playing the role of circumvention software authors. I actually met a few clandestine chemists who had been involved with the Amiga demo scene before they started investigating drugs. I lost contact with the clandestine chemistry scene, even as an observer, about 6 years ago. Like DRM cracking it also unfortunately attracted people who were interested in transforming the discoveries of passionate amateurs into pure profit.

I wonder sometimes if ever-more-draconian government reactions to unauthorized synthesis of explosives and drugs are going to constrict the pipeline delivering passionate chemists, as new generations are born who never knew what you could try before the War on Drugs or War on Terror. But it probably won't come up for a while. When I got out of chemistry and into software it was because the field was dramatically over-supplied relative to available research jobs.

Do you even know what RAD means?

20 years ago, RAD meant that you could drop visual components on a form, add some events, set some properties, and hit the green run button to compile and run it.

A very visual way of programming.

QtCreator with it's visual designer comes close, but then you have to suffer a more unforgiving syntax (C++), a complex macro compiler (MOC) and not at all easy cross-compilation / distribution.
