Sun/Oracle should have just swallowed their pride and standardized on OSGI as the Java module system years ago. Instead we've had years of back and forth, backbiting, arguments, and lack of progress... all the while people were actually getting work done by just using OSGI. At this point, the "standard Java module system" seems to be a solution looking for a problem.

H1B will not be killed. It will be changed. The loophole will be fixed so that Indian outsourcing body shops will not be able to abuse the system. Currently, the vast majority of the H1B visas are hoarded by Indian outsourcing companies such as Tata Consultancy Services, Infosys, Wipro etc. The real highly skilled workers such as US-educated PhD graduates cannot even get one at all. The new system hopefully will keep US-educated graduates and prevent those Indian consulting body shops.

Yes, this has all the hallmarks of the light intro post.

But it has the important take-away that is claiming (and I agree) that we shouldn't be too worried about the fact that some things can't be proven within formal systems. We have what amounts to a huge body of empirical experience that roots our confidence in many things, including set theory.

Indeed we have no real way of giving our stamp of approval to a formal system except by our intuitions about what reason is, as modified by our life experience. And even the innate intuitions are the product of biological evolution, which is another kind of empirical testing process.
> Once upon a time there was a net of reasonable jobs that didn't pay well but allowed people a life, low-level government jobs that took anyone willing to work hard. But has anyone here looked at how hard it is to become a postal worker or to join the army? Ability and willingness isn't enough any more.

This is all about Neoliberalism then isn't it. Privatize everything and then the privatized companies are highly competitive and only want the best and couldn't care less about the middle or the bottom. It's not about jobs, it's really never been about the jobs that's just rhetoric. It's about profits. And profits are stuck in large consolidated corporations that pay as little as possible to the middle and the bottom, preferably on contract or the "sharing" economy of contractors. For full-time employees with benefits they just want the top which is often overworked. I mean the economy was engineered to be like this specifically for the benefit of those with money.
Compliance costs increased in the wake of the Christchurch earthquakes. Local councils also like to derive a fat revenue stream from subdivision consents.
I should've put out a disclaimer in my previous comment, I was an F1 student now working in SV as an H1B. So I've to state my bias. Why do you think it should be independent? F1 students pay a lot of money to study here and I think there should be a fairly easy path to work for a considerable amount of time here. I believe it's mutually beneficial. But I'd love to know alternative views.

I've played with Kubernetes and I wish I had finished my post on it. I got frustrated when looking at logs from a node wasn't supported by nodes joined with kubeadm (that was a few months back .. I really hope they fixed that by now).

I agree with you, Kubernetes seems insanely complicated. I haven't used it in production though. I'm in a Marathon shop, and it is really slick once you have a working DC/OS cluster .. but setting up that cluster requires a full time team. It's not trivial and far from simple.
I think the "illusion" referenced in the article is the sentiment that "things will just work out."

Frankly I see this sentiment alot with today's millennial generation (really anyone from early 20s to mid/late 30s). Everyone thinks they'll have that dream job, life, marriage, kds, etc.... even the uber drivers and starbucks baristas. The "oh things will work out" attitude is especially prevalent given the popular parenting slogans of the past few decades: everyone's a winner; every child is special; you can do whatever you want if you put your mind to; etc.

> Well said. It shocks me how complex people make their value proposition for no real reason but vanity. "We are like Air BNB for lawn care with a focus on service and quick delivery."

> Ugh. How about "Push a button and your lawn is mowed in 48 hours."

You use the former for a savvy investor whose already seen half a dozen lawn care startups and is looking for where yours is different. ("focus on service and quick delivery", different than focusing on price or on the user experience of the app)

You use the latter to describe what your startup is doing to Uncle Shirley, i.e. potential customers.

The difference is in what you're positioning yourself against. Either it's other startups or the neighbor kid down the street. Use the former pitch with the latter audience and it'll sail over their heads, the latter pitch with the former audience and they'll roll their eyes and tell you to get to the point.

But you can't not position, marketing without positioning is education, and ain't nobody got time for that.
The article mentions 'increased competition'. Is Boeing facing a hard time competing against rivals say Airbus? Are Boeing's latest planes less competitive or is there less orders in the pipeline all across the industry, including at Airbus? I wish the article went into more detail here, this would have been informative.
I keep seeing Kubernetes appear on HackerNews. Is there a quick thing I can read to explain why everyone's so excited about? I know it's container orchestration, but I'm not sure what people are using it for or what pain point it is revealing.

It is just recently when we were able to use bigger models and more data in GPUs when it becomes something main stream and a lot of people are doing things with it.

well, of course the media is going to depict these people negatively--the media lives off of corporate profits which are spent in part on media advertising...these stay-at-home people are just living a lovely life...but they are not working and are not consuming...and thus not helping to increase corporate profits much and thus not feeding the media...work work work...consume consume consume....rinse and repeat...

This sounds bad. It looks like the main motivator is to make the open source version of the project "not docker" and move the binary distributions "CE" and "EE" to another licensing model.

I hope they enjoy fracturing the community. Luckily for the rest of us, LXC containers are built into the Linux kernel and Docker is just a layer on top of it. If things get too bad it shouldn't be too hard to switch to another container manager.
I initially agreed to your post, but as I reminisced the interviews I took I disagree and I think its the same everywhere. Second tier schools in US are equally bad and students lack practical knowledge. If I were to take an interview without knowing the persons race I don't think I will be able to bucket them into specific countries based on their performance.

I agree that saying they "suffer from illusions" is silly. But the rest of your analysis here seems off.

There's no reason to lionize these people and act like "society rejected them." It's just (comparatively) easy to not work in the modern world, in first world countries, and these people didn't.

I don't think there's that much more we can say.
There's this cargo cult complaint where people talk about 'layers and layers of bad abstractions' while rarely offering a superior solution or describing exactly which abstractions are bad and why they are bad. Mostly just hemming and hawing about things being "bad" and "overcomplicated".

It's basically the same instinct as complaining about code written from a previous dev that you didn't write--because you didn't write it, you weren't there to think about the very real tradeoffs that always have to be made when actually implementing something, rather than just complaining about the previous person's implementation.

I never know which abstraction people are complaining about. Is it http? html? the dom? javascript? wrapping libs like jquery? view frameworks like react? routing frameworks? complete frameworks like angular? what's the solution? get rid of all of those things? use different UI abstractions? get rid of javascript ?(oh wait, you can already). The truth is, it's just easier to complain than it is to implement, so that's what people do.
Hah, why do you think weed is so popular?

Direct quote from the first subject:

"I got used to living in an unstable situation and figured somehow it would work out"

That last bit is illusory thinking.

Also, I'd beg to differ on your suggestion that these people aren't choosing their life every single day. I'd suggest the opposite is true for most of us (leaving aside those who through incapacity have diminished options). Every single day you don't make an effort to look for work, don't volunteer for something, don't organise an activity, don't spend some time learning something, don't go somewhere to meet people, don't go on a date - you are making a choice. Living with your parents and (more importantly) living off your parents well into your fifties is not an accident. You can't accidentally do that. That is directly the result of daily choices and illusory thinking.

And while we can agreee that the term "parasite" is pejorative, I find it is deserved- at least from the perspective of the parent (who in this case is probably as much to blame for this situation).

My daughters are 20 and 18 and the expectation has long been set in our family that they will be moving out once they're in stable employment (and by that I mean any job that can pay their bills, not their dream job). When both kids are out of the house, we'll downsize and share some of the cashed out equity to help them get started on the property ladder. Then they're on their own. In our family we refer to this as "The Plan". They've been hearing about the Plan (and been onboard) since their early teens.
People who don't know how to get an emulator working or find the Roms they need can click on the website and use the Javascript version to see what it was like on these old computers.

Some old software and operating systems were made free as in beer because they are so old.

Some Roms and disk images are still owned by programmers or the company that sold them or the underwriters who bought out the IP. You can contact them and see if they give permission to use them.
That's an interesting idea. Would love to see a proof of concept!
Browsers catching up won't be the end of transpilers. If you want to write modern JS and have it support old Android phones or safari, you're stuck transpiling. And, browsers well never catch up, there will always be new features to be trying. It's really beautiful: we get to try different possible future versions of JS and make an informed decision on what and what not to bring into the language.

Also I have a feeling we'll be seeing a lot more to-JS languages, not to mention apps written in Rust, etc that target webassembly.
That counterpoint has a strong point here:

> You can either have a decentralized, communally owned social graph (like Fitzpatrick envisioned) or good privacy controls, but not the two together.

We already have a communally owned social graph in the form of publicly viewable FLOSS mailing list archives. If the lack of good privacy controls opens up the community to risks, then one should be able to assess the risks by mining the data in those archives.

So has anyone ever written a paper about mining FLOSS mailing list archives for fun/profit?

Are you talking about polyploid genes? Having more copies of each gene per cell nucleus is effectively RAID: it protects against copying errors, and therefore against genetic disorders and cancers. This does have the side-effect of increasing the size of the nucleus of each cell, which is a problem if you're an animal with cells that need to float around in a blood stream and squeeze through tiny capillaries—but not if you're a plant, with all your cells locked in place.
Ah, good ol' unbiased, unchanging, divined law. Good job it's never been changed to favor ordinary people as the result of protest or disregard, or to centralize power as the result of corruption. I think I'll be spending this year's EFF and ACLU dues on a new armchair.
"X for Y" is properly thought of as jargon, not marketing. It's useful, just not as the only component of a pitch. It definitely shouldn't be considered a summary.

Frankly, millennials were completely robbed by the generation before them in the United States. Incredible escalation in college costs, with the requirement that you need to go to college to get jobs that in no way require collegiate training. Severally penalizing even small mistakes by basically giving people as the OP put it, a life sentence for a single crime.

Disgusting. I am one of the oldest millennials (born in 82) and my age group was the last to have it somewhat easy. People born in 92 are in a pressure cooking from every angle.

The only answer is to transfer wealth from baby boomers to millennials through inflation. I have zero idea if it will happen, but as the pressure builds on this generation, they will surely look for political solutions, one of which is printing money.
I'm curious what the fundamental underlying tech is that is driving Lora and Sigfox? E.g. cdma has a few core ideas that make the magic work. What is the equivalent fundamental concept that is driving the low-power, long-range, low-bw communication?

"You're arguing out of both sides of your mouth. You're saying that media constructs what "attractive" means for women, and now you're saying that "attractive" is something that is inherent to a woman irrespective of media pressure."

You're pretending all people act the same to accuse me of some false argument. Some people will follow what the media says a lot, some a bit, and some not at all. The fact that local + some remote people thought those women were beautiful doesn't change the fact that media were trying to say otherwise and shove a specific profile in people's faces.

It really is if it's dishonest to get people's money. There's legal and illegal scams, though. ;)
There's a conflation of liberal resistance movements and antifa going on here. I don't think Antifa expects any law to support punching Nazis in the face, or is pushing hate speech laws. As far as I can see, antifa is in defiance of the law, not directly attacking it. Also it is not a wishful template for a communist police force. I believe it's based on blackbloc, an anarchist self organized mob. These anarchist mobs existed under communism too. Stalin sent them to the Gulag and Hitler sent them to work and concentration camps. People called them cowards then, too. Anarchist mobs have been around forever. It's when they attack the side in power that people really get super outraged.
Oh yeah, what you said is consistent with what I learned from them.

There is a tendency in academia to tolerate what would be considered hateful speech, if tables were turned, if it's coming form the left or underprivileged.

That's to say, at least in academia, there is more allowance and forgiveness if you agree with Che vs agreeing with Pinochet (and other things).

If you allow one, you allow all.

The context was PhD students.

None of those, at good universities at least, pay for tuition (be it from research grants or TAships). So I would expect the effect on prices to be minimal.
Given the way that problems in Japan have effected the population -- many men as well as women are out of work; the phenomenon of hikkikomori affects predominately men; death by overwork affects men as well as women -- why do you think the "biggest issue" is making it "easier for women to work and succeed"?
HA was never about replacing whole nodes just to make minor changes. Rolling updates, sure, when the system isn't complex enough to do updates in place.

The thing is, initrd's are always read-only anyway. But i'm annoyed that they're trying to justify this by saying it's good for security or more reliable, etc. It's just a legacy of the old design. And they have tools built into it to let it be managed remotely - but refuse to let this configure it live? So it can still be owned, but just not in a persistent state (unless you find persistent storage).

I ran it on a cluster of 5 of the largest mainframes available at the time, so i don't know what it'll be like stability and footprint-wise on linux/12G memory. I liked the language but i see what people are doing in R, python, julia especially, and numeric libraries in clojure, go, scala, rust, etc they're pretty impressive. One frequent limitation is not too many langaugea have complete wrappers for either of the 2 API's that CUDA exposes, which is pretty important in deep learning.

so if there are tangible advantages to APL today, it's not that obvious.

Right, I think I hadn't imagined how sensitive some, apparently on the political right, would be to the word "fascist." The article is about a Principal Researcher at Microsoft's SXSW presentation, "Dark Days: AI and the Rise of Fascism." The title on HN was merely a condensed version of the article in The Guardian. (I was going to link to the Financial Times' article but there is a paywall. The Guardian is a top global newspaper though, and was being attacked here as a mere hippy rag, whose readers must reside in "seed bunkers," so, wacky believers in climate change, much the way the New York Times is attacked as fake news.)

Seems to me that those who were offended had their amygdalas tripped by the word "fascist" because these days when they see that word, they feel as if it's being used as an attack against them, and the larger conversation is thereby hijacked.

Meanwhile a highly-related article about AI being leveraged in China to adjust credit scores according the way that people charge their phone batteries wasn't flagged. So it seems that you're right.
