Hey guys, this is a follow up project to www.gitlogs.com Gitlogs only focuses on curating Github repos but I always wanted to do the same thing for all other types of resources. Hope you guys like it. If you have any suggestions / ideas I'd love to hear it.

I built Jollyturns (https://jollyturns.com) which has a fairly large server-side component. Before starting the work on Jollyturns I worked at Google (I left in 2010) on a variety of infrastructure projects, where I got to use first hand Borg and all the other services running on it.

When I started more than 5 years ago few of the options mentioned in the article were available, so I just used Xen running on bare metal. I just wanted to get things done as opposed to forever experimenting with infrastructure. Not to mention the load was inexistent, so everything was easy to manage.

After I launched the mobile app, I decided to spend some time on the infrastructure. 2 years ago I experimented with Marathon, which was originally developed at Twitter, probably by a bunch of former Google employees. The reason is Marathon felt very much like Borg: you could see the jobs you launched in a pretty nice Web interface, including their log files, resource utilization and so on. Deploying it on bare metal machines however was an exercise in frustration since Marathon relied heavily on Apache Mesos. For a former Googler, Mesos had some weird terminology and was truly difficult to understand what the heck was going on. Running Marathon on top of it had major challenges: when long-running services failed you could not figure out why things were not working. So after about 2 weeks I gave up on it, and went back to manually managed Xen VMs.

Around the same time I spent few days with Docker Swarm. If you're familiar with Borg/Kubernetes, Swarm is very different from it since - at least when it started, you had to allocate services to machines by hand. I wrote it off quickly since allocating dockerized services on physical machines was not my idea of cluster management.

Last year I switched to Kubernetes (version 1.2) since it's the closest to what I expect from a cluster management system. The version I've been using in production has a lot of issues: high availability (HA) for its components is almost non-existent. I had to setup Kube in such a way that its components have some resemblance of HA. In the default configuration, Kubernetes installs its control components on a single machine. If that machine fails or is rebooted your entire cluster disappears.

Even with all these issues, Kubernetes solves a lot of problems for you. The flannel networking infrastructure greatly simplifies the deployment of docker containers, since you don't need to worry about routing traffic between your containers.

Even now Kubernetes doesn't do HA:

https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/issues/26852

https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/issues/18174

Don't be fooled by the title of the bug report, the same component used in kubectl to implement HA could be used inside Kube' servers for the same reason. I guess these days the Google engineers working on Kubernetes have no real experience deploying large services on Borg inside Google. Such a pity!
Thanks for keeping me highly entertained with FC back in the day!
The article, as you say, mentions international graduate students. Most of these are probably funded by grants or the university itself (as is the case for most STEM graduate students in the US). So I doubt MIT - or any university - is making money off them.

Undergraduates, however, are a different matter.
Sure, the emergency spillway, but not much detail:

Do you remember the enthusiasm just 6 months to a year ago? Did you see how media was was proclaiming that VR was the next big thing, and I even recall that line repeated on the Motley Fool podcast.

Then the devices came out, and you hear nothing anymore. Sure, there are a bunch of people who bought it, but when none of the vendors are even releasing sales figures, you know it's disappointing. With the recent news that Oculus is closing their demo stations because no one is using them suggests that things aren't going too well.

VR is probably not as bad as 3D TV in terms of a flop, but I don't think anyone can call it a "success" unless your expectations are very different from that of most people.
So 60% DO have close friends that have a very different culture and language. I find that very positive. I traveled all my life, and I know how hard it is to do it. Well done !
Sometimes! (Full disclosure: MS employee, big-time Azure user in a different group)

An AAD Application can act on behalf of a logged-in user (using OAuth2 or openid) with the correct delegated permissions. This means you can grant key/secret/certificate CRUD privileges to an AAD user or group, and then use OAuth to obtain a token granting access to the KeyVault resource. All activity is performed by the client (read: application) on behalf of the user (read: human) against the resource (read: key) without having to store any secrets at all.

I use the keyvault pretty extensively, and have really grown to like it.

> The only thing that surprised Microsoft about Netscape's strategy was the brazenness with which the upstarts shouted it to the world. Nathan Myhrvold told me, "There's a good analogy to bicycle racing. In bicycle racing, you don't want to be first until the end. What you want to do is draft the guy in front of you. And then, in the last minute, you dart out. The middleware gambit is about drafting the leader." Yet here was Andreessen publicly proclaiming in the summer of 1995 that Netscape's plan was to reduce Windows to "a poorly debugged set of device drivers." "They didn't save it up," Myhrvold said. "They fucking pulled up alongside us and said, 'Hey, sorry, that guy's already history.'"
You don't technically need calculus, but knowing about limits does help.
Are you really saying "don't trust science, but do trust this scientific study that vaccines cause autism"? You're undermining your own argument.
It's extremely low likelihood of death compared to other more lethal diseases. I'm pretty sure AIDS, leukemia or malaria are more lethal to children than measles is.

And as far as "the leading cause of death", diarrhoea or pneumonia are arguably the biggest cause of deaths in children.
I always mess this up, but here's something from memory: I believe there's ABI things that motivate stage 2. The compiler built in stage 0 has historically had special ifdefs to deal with "features that don't exist in the old snapshot" (we aggressively adopt our own features in the compiler and stdlib, because that's a great way to test them). This implies it can potentially emit binaries with a different ABI from the compilers built in stage 1 and 2. So the compiler that's output from stage 1 can actually have a different ABI from the binaries it produces.

Normally this wouldn't matter, but Rust also supports compiler plugins written in Rust. These link directly to the compiler that compiles them. With the stage 1 compiler's quirky ABI, the plugins it compiles might not be able to interact with it.

The stage 2 compiler, on the other hand, uses the same set of ifdefs that the stage 1 compiler has. So it was built by a compiler with the same output-ABI as itself, and so plugins have the same ABI.

So:

* snapshot: Built with snapshot ABI, produces snapshot ABI (snapshots are old stage2 compilers)

* stage0-output: built with snapshot ABI, emits stage0 ABI.

* stage1-output: built with stage0 ABI, emits not(stage0) ABI.

* stage2-output: built with not(stage0) ABI, emits not(stage0) ABI.

I'm a machine learning engineer so "unneeded input" is something I rarely consider as a valid statement. Oftentimes when you're arguing the merits of one approach versus a different one, you have to use your rhetorical skills to influence another party. You both believe you have the best solution. You believe your logic is consistent and complete.

Emotion is a very powerful signal during discussion. It's a counterpoint to logic; they work together. Rarely does logic by itself win anyone over. Trying to remove "unneeded" (who decides what an unneeded emotion is) emotion is folly. We're not Vulcans.
I'm typically not a coffee drinker but do have "binges" that last a few weeks at a time. I've actually been making sure to drink at least two liters of water a day, so that's puzzling.
Never studied in the US but on;

> but culturally I care less about American sports and music

Culturally I do not even understand this fascination with sports; we watch football (soccer) when there is some worldcup on and our country is playing but besides that the whole highschool quarterback and rooting for your teams all seems like wasted time to me. That might be cultural.

But I always turned that into a strength when making friends. If most people do something like watch sports or listen to music I do not like, I find the people that do not; those will be a niche. But I do not seek them out in obvious places with all likeminded people; when I go to AUS or US (and certainly when I was younger and looking for (girl)friends more) I go to sports bars and or clubs (where they will play music I do not like); in those places there will be 1-2 people like me that were dragged along or went along with their friends and who will be bored. Those end up talking with me and sometimes become good friends (two American ex girlfriends and many good friends, some I still do business with like that).

In order to sue, MIT has to show it was harmed. That's why it's talking about the international students like a statistic. It has to put it in that kind of context.
When that happens, it's most likely because that person has a weak immune system, correct? So what evidence do we have to say that person wouldn't have died from the next disease to come along (e.g. diarrhoea or simply catching a cold and dying from pneumonia?).

Just a question... kind of playing the devil's advocate, but I think it's usually ignored by most people when talking about vaccination.

We're very much committed to the Marathon open source community and keeping them happy.

I'm afraid I don't know what the plans are for the project (not working on Marathon myself) but being the most popular open source project run and maintained by Mesosphere, I have no doubt that we will continue adding new features and functionality.
@Pud, would be great to hear your take on what it has been like dealing with the record companies. According to YC:

> Because the alumni network is so large and tightly knit, investors or companies who try to maltreat a YC-funded startup can usually be made to stop. [--> footnote] Except for the record labels, which are effectively a rogue state with nuclear weapons. There is nothing we or anyone else can do to protect you from them, except warn you not to start startups that touch label music. [0]

Your service does various tasks such as cover song licensing which are record label-facing. What has that been like?

And, congratulations on getting engaged.

Where I live there used to be radio advertisements for a service that would give you a full body MRI in an effort to find cancers that could be treated before they spead.

After a bit of reseach I discovered it's a false promise. A lot of people have benign lumps and growths they can carry around for a lifetime without any trouble, and while MRIs are quite safe biopsies are not. If you don't have a reason to think you might have cancer, i.e. the MRI is a screening tool and not being used for a diagnosis, the very small chance you'll die of complications from unnecessary biopsies outweighs the very small chance you'll save your life by discovering a treatable malignant growth.

At least, that was the state of the art 7-8 years ago.

"Objectivity" doesn't mean that all statements should go unchallenged in media, nor that all sides of an argument should get equal time or treatment.
There exists such a thing as objective, empirically verifiable truth, and media owes its audience doing so.

If you only need them to perform online UI/UX and they are great at that then you should ignore it. If you need them to be a bit more versatile and help out in other areas then it might be a concern. Your best bet is to just get them to critique their own resume in the interview. You want an answer that indicates they could make it awesome if they needed to do so. If they cannot come up with anything then that is a bad sign.

The point of the project is to be simple and to collect all the data that I'm going to use to analize from my like and dislike. I want to do this as simply as possible so I can just get my feet wet.

This project also has constraints. It needs to fit in a Raspberry Pi Zero and on a microsd card with no internet connection running off the power from a USB power supply in a car.

It needs to be fast-ish (I can run all of this math at the same time I'm playing the ~3 minute song) and it needs to be small. If I've got 10-20GB of music then songs+os+my data<=32GB. These days I think you can get a Rasbian install ~1-2GB so that leaves us with ~10GB of data if I don't expand my music collection ever because after I get it set up I can't be asked to update it ever again.

So yes for this I just want to start with my music folder. A folder of audio files. No lyrics, no nothing. Just things that can be infered from my like and dislike.
Variable pitch is a well known technique. Flexible blades are used by some types of light aircraft propellers. In the case of the propellers the improvement is not as great as with full variable pitch but the cost/simplicity is better. So the same sort of thing probably applies here. Some technique would have to be found that was cheap/reliable enough to end up with a better result than boring old variable pitch done with bearings and gears.
In state tuition is 45k a year. Regardless of if the US economy is in a bad state US colleges can charge a huge amount to US students because the US govt is willing to offer huge student loans.

VCs have never really had an interest in dating startups. They summarize it nicely here: "Often they’re strategically mismatched. VCs look for a loyal, active, long-term user base, and dating apps tend to attract periodic, short-term users. Monetization is also a challenge, as paid apps have to compete with free ones. There also are few deep-pocketed acquirers with interest in the space."

I think it may be faster to just port, though are there larger libraries that Arc depends on in Racket that you'd also have to significantly port?
I absolutely agree. I installed Windows 10 on a old Core Duo clone I bought off Kijiji. Everything worked flawlessly, including its old Nvidia video card. It received the latest updates and security patches directly from Microsoft.

A young man with no military experience vs. a giant who's killed every soldier in the army who's attempted to fight him qualifies as an underdog story in my book. Also I'd assume archery skill doesn't really transfer very much to using a sling
Very well put. The crux of so much of this comes down to business interests. When you finally wade through the bullshit and get to the heart of it, it's about money. Not ideals or the end of the free world.

Good luck fighting this fight here, though. It's like arguing that Star Trek is good on a Star Wars fanfic forum. They're just not ready to hear that.
I can't imagine any smart developers using Ruby anyone, I know because I unfortunately work with Rails and anyone with a brain cell has already left. To me deciding to use Rails isn't a very smart decision
Most grad students do not pay full tuition, period. Many US students, and I would imagine those who get accepted to MIT most likely, qualify for NSF grants which cover the cost of graduate education. So your argument that MIT is acting as a "business to maximize its profit" is not very convincing.

I agree with you that some of the positions might be a bit extreme: the US is most certainly capable of producing highly qualified researchers, entrepreneurs etc.

Edit: One more point I would want to add is that currently, US universities, and the US itself, is seen as a very desirable place to live and do research. This might change if the country institutes a policy of (implicit) religious discrimination.

Retroactively?

In this system, no transaction is actually final, because it can always be rollbacked because the reversal of a law can traverse time and space. The only gaurantee is once you've got it converted to cash (exited the network) because the network may simply enter a parallel universe where the law never existed (and unlike a hostile government invading another, with all the repurcussions of it, this is a manuever taken by the existing government, and likely it remains the government in the new universe).

This isn't a law then, its simply a communally accepted rule; if the ratchet turns, and community decides slavery is no longer acceptable, then it'll be applied retroactively and you'll be rendered an illegal actor for operating legally at the time of operation, despite operating legally now (no longer dealing in slaves).
