Heroku's strategy is about locking you in through services. It's the same playbook being followed by AWS, Azure and GCP. The concept of spinning up and scheduling containers is now well below the value line -- there are many competing platforms in this space. Raw compute is nearly a fungible, undifferentiated product at this point.

Insofar as you can decouple yourself from Heroku service offerings, you are able to decouple from Heroku.

Whether that's a full-service standalone platform like Cloud Foundry (partly inspired by, and partly sharing code with, Heroku), an IaaS-smoothing platform like Convox (founded by Heroku alumni), integrating some intermediate platforms like Deis or rolling your own with Kubernetes or Marathon.

Disclosure: I work for Pivotal, which sells a commercial distribution of Cloud Foundry. And I work in the Cloud R&D section on opensource bits of it. So I have a horse in this race.
As a tourist in lower Manhattan, the Citibike stations seemed to be everywhere, and I saw a number other people riding them. So I felt confident that I could rent a bike and later find a station to drop it off. Still, it was expensive.

In San Francisco, the coverage is not great (don't try to bike to tourist areas like the Castro or the Haight), and they apparently put a bunch of bikes at remote suburban train stations for political reasons. Unlike in NYC, I hardly ever see anyone riding the bikes.
Generally a good comment until the last line. Getting tired of everything having partisan attacks.
Their niche will soon figure out there are some people (like OP) running the same software on much better hardware for much lower price. How much longer do you think they will keep buying original macs?
We should also invest more in changing "100% bugfree software may be too hard to be worth the effort in most applications". Ultimately, everything else is just stop gap.
Right; what I'm pointing out is that your comment isn't saying "if only we could raytrace in WebGL, we would have better graphics". It's saying "both raytracing and forward rendering (and so on) have problems, and we need new techniques entirely if we want to model reality accurately".
Strava's heatmap is great. I use it all the time.
I use the Bay Area Bike Share for commute and I absolutely love it! $88/year is a great price! Much cheaper than Muni or even owning my bike considering possible theft and maintenance costs.
PAIP is also very, very high on my list as well. I'm very pro-lisp and still develop new projects in lisp (CL, Scheme) and promote it when/where I can. But the person who picks up PAIP wanting to learn AI might not necessarily want to worry about picking up lisp programming skills at the same time (nor is learning lisp strictly necessary). This is why AIMA is still the best option, IMO, because it employs a language agnostic approach.
> The point is about graphic programming algorithms that we still cannot explore in WebGL, because its model is a DX9 level graphics card.

No, that is not the point of the thread. See my reply.
How often do you go over the 30 minute limit for a trip? Between the high price of a yearly membership, and heavy bikes that aren't well suited for the hills of SF, buying a used bike on Craigslist seems like a more viable option for most. Especially if overtime fees happen even semi-regularly. I'd take any of these [1-3] over a bike share bike for city riding.

Owning your own bike comes with its own concerns, biggest one for me being that they can be a pain to lug around on BART when its crowded.

Quantum Computing and the Entanglement Frontier – John Preskill (2017)
As someone clearly disagreeing with you, I find it interesting that you mention not understanding "the people downvoting" and then only talk about your impression of the posts that are not downvoted. The downvoted posts seem a lot more needlessly rude to me than the ones they respond to, and I hope I'd see that similarly even if felt different about the issue overall.

The confused top-level comments to me read mostly as expression of said confusion, which to me is completely fair for a place like HN. Of course people want to understand why something could be interesting to them if it is posted & upvoted here.
> Remember that software isn't intuitive, but familiar:

Well put. In practice, largely correct. But literally minded me wants software also to be DOCUMENTED. E.g., at my Web site, each page has a link Help that explains the page hopefully in simple but clear terms.

But, wait, there's more:

At my Web site, also
a user never has to try to guess what an icon does -- there are no icons. Civilizations had lots of icons, and eventually we got the Roman alphabet which I believe is a huge step forward. So, for links I just use words in the Roman alphabet.

The pages never do anything sudden, e.g., cover up what a user is reading with a pull-down, pop-up, or roll-over -- there aren't any.

For your

> Remember that software isn't intuitive, but familiar:

I do exploit that: The pages all use just the simplest, old HTML, and I've written not even a single line of JavaScript (JS). Microsoft's ASP.NET has a little standard JS for me, maybe having to do with positioning the cursor or some such. But, really, all the pages just use the most standard and elementary HTML controls 2+ billion people already know very well.

For more, the fonts are all relatively large, say, 24 pixels high. The colors all have high contrast, and the 25% of men who are partially red-green color blind will still do just fine.

There is just one Web site with just one user interface (UI), the same for workstations, desktop, laptops, tablets, pads, smartphones, watches, Dick Tracy's watch, Flash Gordon's magic decoder rings, and any toys in Cracker Jacks boxes that can run a Web browser up to date as of about 10 years ago.

Each Web page is exactly 800 pixels wide. The layout is not by HTML div elements but by tables and is always the same for all users.

There are always both vertical and horizontal scroll bars, and the pages should still be usable in a window as narrow as 300 pixels.

For more, how the UI works is simple and intuitive, so much so a 7 year old with a cheap smartphone and who knows no English (the text is all in very simple English with no alternatives) should be able to do fine with three minutes of instruction or 15 minutes of experimentation.

So, one of my key thoughts was
to exploit for basic HTML just your

> Remember that software isn't intuitive, but familiar:

So, I stayed with just the simplest HTML knowing that 2+ billion people were then already quite "familiar".

Where can one see my Web site? At present nowhere! Since just now my development computer is sick from data corruption, e.g., crucial parts of Microsoft's .NET are not available to my software, my software won't run even on my development computer. Right, bummer.

But I've put together a nice list of parts for a new development computer also powerful enough for a good, first Web server for my Web site. Intend to order the parts and plug them together soon! Then I'll get the software and data on the new computer, make some tweaks in the code I have in mind, load a lot of data, and go live.
State websites drastically improved in Hawaii once the company I was working for (that provides https://ehawaii.gov and many of the state's sites) managed to get a centrally defined standard set in conjunction with the CTO. It meant we could get everyone on the same page, speaking the same design language and really thinking about how they presented their departments information.
I always found it a little odd but quite pleasant - but I don't at all remember AS3's E4X having interpolation. Did I just never know about this feature (or have since forgotten - it's been, oh, half a decade at least since I've used ActionScript 3 in anger), or was it missing?
More experienced cyclists might be more likely to own and use GPS units as well. Strava's heatmap only has data from users that self-report GPS traces.
Size and noise I am totally on board with. Just not the obsession with weight. And I am an ultra-light gram obsessed backpacker. I may just be an outlier or unusually strong. (Kidding on the last qualifier :))
Very cool! Can we include custom search? I want to search for pancakes, boba or bikes you know
I had to RTFM to figure out what the yellow highlights are. Those are roads that have been designated as part of a biking road network. In your example Fremont should presumably be highlighted yellow. I think the renderer puts far too little visual emphasis on the bike network roads (and omits the markings from the key!)

Since it is open street maps, it relies on manual curation. My guess is that some curators use the official city bike maps, and others editorialize.

This seems to do a great job where I am, though it crashes repeatedly on both iOS devices I tried. It definitely needs better testing with mobile safari (and an app with some sort of tile caching / offline mode, unless I'm missing something)
I don't know about you and how you set up your page, but I think how you approach those people matter too.

I have seen Parted Magic's author, Patrick, being a pain in the ass about offering a free student version [1]. So in that case, technically a student version is provided, I don't think anyone would ever choose to beg for the license, or they will send an email and say mean things. Of course, his intention might be good, but with that page, no one would want to take his good intention.

Case in point, so even I was a student, I still chose to pay full price for Parted Magic after reading that (not very happy, but OK), and got a download link to a version that had a bug (very disappointed). So what did I do? I didn't bother to ask the author for anything, fearing I will upset him, and just went ahead and downloaded another version on thepiratebay that works.

Can it be handled differently instead of having that page ranting about people being assholes? I think so. Just ask them to verify the .edu address automatically by sending them an automated email. I am sure I am so much happier being offered a 50% discount being a student and get verified automatically than to get a free version when I beg.

Facebook Messenger’s PM director Martinazzi leaves after launching Day
If the email was nice (no profanities, thank you or something) we will just give it free - just keep it simple.

The point I'm trying to make here is that offering something cheaper via webpage will attract wrong type of people (patio11 calls them pathological customers).

I think there was also 37signals post about why they do not offer discounts for students or similar.

In short, just keep it simple as Veen said: If I offer a service or product to what I assume are reasonable, rational, intelligent human beings, the deal is this: you pay me what I ask and you get the service I'm offering at that price.
If the lifetime of the temporary holding the value 3 can (implementation-defined) be limited to the body of the function, the assignment to r happens when the temporary can (implementation-defined) be destroyed already.

Yea, you might be confusing Windows and Macintosh there (or iOS and Android). It's trivial to setup a Mac, there is one dialog to collect crash data you can opt out of, and you don't have to use iCloud. Apple would like you to use iCloud but doesn't make you, doesn't want your private data, and is committed to protecting that data.

Windows is a little more frustrating, and I don't think Microsoft has the same level of privacy commitment as Apple does, but I also don't think it's that far behind.

Google is a special case, they are an advertising company and have virtually no revenue streams outside of that for Android. I'm sure they'd like to protect your privacy too if they could still serve super targeted ads to you, but they have no way of doing that.

Thanks, it was definitely tough for us to admit that we failed our customers, but the entire team at imgix felt that we had an obligation to be honest and transparent with our customers. I particularly wanted to be sure that we weren't deflecting blame, but also the reality is that there were other parties involved at various points -- that's the reality of operating something on the Internet, there's always a transit provider or datacenter operator or somebody that you're buying critical services from.

The driving reason that led us to start imgix, and then spend years of our lives growing and operating it, is to empower our customers to build awesome stuff on the Internet. We have to work hard to keep up our end of the bargin, and we also have to forge our partnerships and relationships with customers in a million little ways. I hope that through adversity we've forged some new relationships with customers in the way we've communicated this time (and how we will continue to communicate).

As an aside, I was personally impressed by how one of our vendors handled a service issue they had last year [1]. That was a definite inspiration for how we handled this communication.

I've now seen this devolution in argument a number of times. Here, Facebook, and Reddit

Trump Supporter: Look what Trump Did!

Answer: Obama Pressured Congress, the bill was passed in December

-Obama waited till he was on his way out so what's the point. He was ineffective.

Answer: Actually the legislation was drafted much earlier, but republicans didn't want to pass it. Obama used his office to raise the profile of the crisis to help convince Republicans to get on board.. Congress hands out Money, not the President

-So Obama fixed his own mistake in poisoning Flints water. A lot of good the EPA does.

Answer: Actually it was a Republican governor who assigned "emergency managers" to take over Flint. He superceded the democratically elected Mayor. The new managers shifted the water source from Detroit to the Flint Michigan. The EPA told them they needed corrosion controls, but the response was by the managers was there was no law requiring the controls. Flint was a financial disaster before, but the emergency managers came in and started doing whatever they wanted regardless of the outcome.

- So the EPA just let it happen.

Answer: The EPA escalated up the chain of command. The argument went on for six months, but they didn't hold press conferences with news organizations, which was probably their last option.

-Because the EPA is ineffective, and that's why it's funding should be cut! Totally Useless!

The final answer from Trump supporters is either a) you can't stop another Flint Water issue so just get rid of the EPA, or b)getting rid of all regulations will allow the free market to naturally fix the issues.

It's no longer possible to have rational discussions. Anything positive is directly attributed to Trump, and anything negative is the fault of Obama.

The former engineer seems to be missing the point.

All this site does is present existing CSS animation methods in a convenient, curated fashion with nice variations such as "wobble left". We know it works on mobile because the code is written according to the CSS spec.

If you have doubts about whether the CSS animation works on mobile, then you have doubts about whether the CSS animation spec in general works on mobile.

Developers don't copy and paste and write code on their mobile phones. Therefore the target audience is not your "50% of web users" club, which is a consumption stat, not coding or technical productivity/creating.

The code that you take from this site goes to your own project, and that's when you test on mobile - with your own HTML elements and other code.

Finally, "mobile first" is not right. Nothing should be "first" because by definition everything else is given less priority which is flawed logic depending on the application. "Mobile-friendly" is the more sensible idea.

As you can see many people reading your comments are evidently literally unable to imagine the kind of parenting you're talking about. It stirs up a lot of emotions that most adults have put to rest and forgotten. You start poking those old sore points and suddenly out comes the poop-flinging (downvotes in this case.)

I can remember my bewilderment: once when I was a little child my mom was scolding me for something and then the phone rang and when she answered it she wasn't mad. I understood that her being mad at me was a choice she was making, but I couldn't understand why she would do that. Why was she being mean when she could just turn it off?

Our society is very neurotic, the evidence being that people will justify physical and psychological torture of children and get very upset when you dare to point out that it's stupid, cruel, and unnecessary. It's a memetic disease, anchored with trans-generational trauma, and rationalized to normalcy.

I'm not suggesting the GP is saying having accessible services is bad. I'm asking if he believes legislation to ensure services are accessible is bad. As someone who believes web developers are often lazy and don't just do these things because they should I think the laws are important and necessary, else people will be left out from accessing what they need to access. I'd love to hear a counter argument if there is one.
I don't know if I agree with Jeff, the iPad is definitively more intuitive, because it mimics real world interaction better than the mouse.

There's no explaining needed, touch it, move it, it's direct manipulation vs indirect.

I'm sure, when we have weight, texture feedback, it will be even more "intuitive"

Because they get to those numbers without a "decent pro model", so it's not like they feel they need one.

As for getting to even better numbers, well, they had decent pro models (and even servers) back in the day, and they (presumably) know that they don't sell that much.

My concern with these hackintosh systems is safety. Tools like Unibeast/Clover and whatever else. They manipulate the OSX install image. It all seems to work but then you type in your credentials for the bank or work into a browser and who knows if the OS is compromised.

Thank you so much for this thoughtful post—this is enormously helpful and encouraging.
I installed Tensorflow 1.0.1 for Windows for the first time like, 3 weeks ago. I've never installed it before on any system and I never even had Python3 on this machine. I had to use Windows because it has my new GTX 1080.

Short story: worked great, running in about 5 minutes. (With VSCode, I even get autocomplete out-of-the-box on the TF libraries, imports, etc.)

I think it was much different before 1.0. Also, building on Windows is a little more difficult. But just installing it really isn't. And Keras was far more annoying because it wants scipy, which wants BLAS, and I don't use Anaconda. I haven't gotten around to that one yet...
Hm, still 3 to go then. Guess I won't be buying you dinner then! But if you ever do make it past that hurdle let me know and consider yourself invited.
Yes, that's fair enough.

But the point is that there are people who would pay you, but can't do so using credit cards. That's pretty common in parts of Africa, Middle East, etc.
