The phrasing (as of when I write this comment, still within OP's edit window) can use work, but how's it off-topic? This article is about a name change and nothing but a name change.

But OP is Dutch - nobody, even from the general gay community (not specifically Holland), replied saying it's the first thing they thought of.

OP, you really made it sound like it's something as well-known as the word wanker - whereas it's extremely obscure.

If I'm in charge of the docker project, the gay dutch community is much too obscure for me to change the name because of.

EDIT:

jacquesm, I read your reply to this comment and we simply disagree. Their phrasing can use work, but the information is clearly 100% on-topic if it's genuinely the first thing they thought of when they heard it, and if they phrased it more neutrally. If a project were called "wanker" would you call it off-topic to discuss the UD definition on an article about its name? in reply to the call for speculation phrased "Why change the name? All the books and posts reference the name Docker."?

EDIT2:

this thread is becoming boring but as for the opposite of sarcasm,the opposite of /s are the three letters "srs", maybe in parentheses.

@BeetleB: "I remember as a teenager eagerly anticipating reading Dune. And was totally disappointed. There's nothing SF about it."

To whomever modded down the above, care to offer a reason as to what you find objectionable in that statement. Personally I don't need other people to censor posts on this here forum. I am quite capable of making up my own mind as to the veracity of such statements.

edit: Censorship practised on Hacker News

I'm sick of the censorship practised here through the use of the modding system to render certain comments invisible. Yet another self confirming echo chamber on the Intertubes. So long and thanks for all the fish :)
Right, that's why people are dropping dead left and right from prescription opioids, hospital injections of morphine, opioid patches...

No drug has this kind of unpredictable physiological profile, you're spreading nonsense.

I suspect you're confused by stories of relapsing users returning immediately to large doses, but there's nothing unpredictable about that.
Oh man...TW2002...brings back memories....damn. I remember playing with Cruncher. I played heavily on the Fament BBS...

I was in middle school...so this would have been mid 90's.

I was connected to the Internet using a freenet that was provided by SEFLIN (South East Florida Library Information Network)...text based. People who had real internet ran applications, and using ICQ to chat (since you can scan the in network chat for teams chattering!) I was using plain ol text based Internet...and Pine was my email program. I still use nano very often as my editor of choice :)

One time my local BBS moved to Miami...but the area code was still 305. It was considered long distance, even though the area code was the same. I racked up quite a telephone bill.
DockerCon Day 1 – what you’re missing
I think drugs should be legal --or not prosecutable to the 'addict' they are the victim imho -- dealers/sellers that's a whole 'nother story.

The issue at large is one where drugees are going through mental health crisis and the last place they need to be is jail/prison -- they need help, mentally. It's proven though that legalizing Marijuana has shown a decrease in opioid use in the states where it's legal, so there's that.
It's hard to squeeze Dune into a single movie. The book is a good 500 pages long, which fits better into one three movies than into one.

But if you are determined to fit it into a single movie, it should be possible. Here's the outline I came up with:

ACT 1 (30 min)
Start in Arrakeen, with the Atreides already in charge. Leto is the kind master, Paul his formidable young son. Their rivals are the Harkonnen, a nasty bunch (they abuse servants). Introduce Arrakis as the source of the Spice, possibly as part of Jessica's training of Paul in esoteric disciplines. The Fremen are mentioned, but as a minor impoverished rabble. Meanwhile, the Emperor, the Space Guild, and the Harkonnen meet and agree to replace the Atreides, together to maintain control of the Spice. The Harkonnen attack, Leto dies, and Paul and his mother flee to the desert. End with Paul looking back and vowing revenge.

ACT 2 (30 min)
Paul and Jessica encounter the Fremen, and are taken in by them. Paul tests himself against young Fremen fighters and is impressed; they are very good, but he is better. He accompanies them on a raid against the Harkonnen, and is again impressed. He joins the Fremen, and becomes a worm-rider. He learns the true size of the Fremen from seeing one of their secret meetings. At Jessica's urgings, he decides to lead the Fremen against the Harkonnen. Meanwhile, the Harkonnen are making a cruel mess of Arrakis.

ACT 3 (30 min)
Paul campaigns to become the Fremen war-leader; this is shown as a montage of public speaking to increasingly large gatherings and knife fighting. Harkonnen cruelties continue; the Emperor announces plans for a visit. Jessica speaks of the Voice from the Outer World prophesy. Paul, Jessica and Stilgar begin training the troops, incorporating her and Paul's esoteric training. They wait for a sandstorm, and attack in force with wormriders. Fight scenes between Fremen and Hakonnen. The fight goes to the Fremen. The Emperor flees in a ship. Paul addresses the crowds of Arrakeen from a balcony proclaiming a new day of Arrakis, with the natives in charge.

I think that could work. But some stuff did get left out: the spice as a mutagen, the nature of the Bene Gesserit and their goals, the Kwisatz Haderach, Paul's Harkonnen heritage, Paul's duel with Feyd-Rautha, and everything about Liet-Kynes.

> we all know how much the tech community loves to hate on NAT

This, I think, is the unpopular but true reason the IPv6 transition has been slow. It ties together two changes, "get rid of IPv4" and "get rid of NAT", and making a business case for doing both of those simultaneously is very hard. Lots of people understand NAT. Lots of vendors understand NAT. Lots of managers understand NAT. ("NAT", of course, means "PAT with implicit firewall," but "NAT" is the term people use.) You can get the same security and privacy benefits and an equally good or even better design without NAT, but that's not what people are used to.

If IPv6 had been a straightforward extension of IPv4 to 128 bits instead of a bunch of cool and reasonable and backwards-incompatible ideas, the transition would probably be done already. The tradeoff, of course, is we'd still be on the same quality of architecture we have on IPv4.
Sorry to say. Node.js isn't the problem. It is a symptom.

Devs these days are craptastic coming from dev->systems with devops nonsense. Just stop forcing this terrible language into server and js is as fine as it will ever be client side.

Yeah well that's the TL;DR of the Atreides arc...
I agree.

I recall another study that linked regular flossing with reduced heart disease. However, that study was on a behavior that was much too narrow -- People included to floss are also much more likely to engage in other health-positive activities.

Stereo vision gives you two slightly different perspectives on a scene. A single point in the 3D scene will be seen in a slightly different position in each 2D image. The offset between the two positions give you the depth information. The more offset, the closer the point is to the observer.

The difficult part however is pairing the points between the images. You and I do that easily, because when we see, for example, the top left corner of our refrigerator, we can easily identify that same point in both images, probably because we recognize the objects we are looking at. A computer has more trouble pairing the points.

Lidar is a way a cheating, by temporarily shining a dot on the locations so that the points can be found and coordinated easily from both images.
Agreed, and this has been tried in Switzerland with positive results; to quote just one:

"The cost-benefit analysis showed a considerable reduction in costs for medical care and law enforcement; the benefits per day and patient amount to the double of the daily treatment costs in HAT (Frey et al 2000)."

Mass destruction (chemical) weapons existed and were employed in WW1. You'd expect that WW2 should have consisted mostly by aerial bombardment with much improved chemical (and other kind of horribly effective) weapons, yet what happened was an abstinence from both sides, respecting a mutual agreement of resorting to conventional weapons only. (Well, on battlefields at least, and only if discounting U.S. show off with nuclear ones at a moment when the war's conclusion was clear already.)
That's not a 'director's cut' given that Lynch didn't make it and had his name removed from the credits (and from all other versions beside the theatrical release).

I'd like to try Kak, a friend recently told me about it. But, I'm concerned about needing to relearn common commands. For instance, I believe that they mentioned that in Kak the Vim equivalent to `dw` is `wd`. I've got decades of use with Vi(m) under my belt, as well, and I am not too thrilled at the idea of having to unlearn/relearn common commands.
can you elaborate more?

The only point I could argue with is the choice of JavaScript, all the others seem inevitable. As a Thunderbird user I'm happy to know that I might be using it for another 20 years.

Even JavaScript is not that bad. I not familiar with Electron: do those apps run from a directory with the source code or are a binary file? Running from source code would make it easy to hack with the code, which is good.

Very good point!

I commute bi bicycle all year round and admittedly I'm not the chilled kind, so I tend to get soaked (from inside out) quite often, especially if the temperature is >15 C. However, I hate commuting in full bike gear, so having a shower just before leaving has helped tremendously. So does washing in the regular bathroom at work the critical spots where odor develops first (i.e. armpit). All I need is a small towel and a spare t-shit/shirt in case if the ride was too much fun and couldn't keep the speed moderate :)
I'm still very pro-legalization because most of the epidemic is born out of legal prescription drugs, then people move to stronger illegal drugs. So here you have a legal means and illegal means working in simpatico to fuel an epidemic. Stopping one isn't going to stop the other... it's not about the legalities, it's about humans. Some humans are wired for addiction more than others. Once they get on a substance, regardless of how, it's going to only to set these "pre conditioned" folks towards their addiction. Treating the drug as the issue is only going to continue the process and make it harder for acceptance of this disease. Recovery and prevention is what people need to learn. Trying to make something illegal isn't going to stop people -- we've seen this with alcohol (arguably just as big of a problem). It's interesting how as a society we treat opioid addiction differently BECAUSE drugs like Heroin are deemed illegal -- the stigma around "illegal" detracts from the root cause of the issue and therefore stunts any idea of a solid course towards acceptance and then hopefully treatment or a cure. I can only feel that if we treated all drugs as legal and the addiction as a health crisis, we might have made better strides. Lastly, we did the "War on Drugs", it didn't work -- let's look at that data and realize that it's not a problem of substance and access, it's a problem of human nature. Spending money on supporting the illegal nature of something like this only continues to perpetuate the problem.
Did you check the rest of his blog?
Everything you said outside of tolerance is exceedingly rare. If you're not taking one of a handful of herbal supplements, you are extremely unlikely to have a measurably different response to the same dosage of opioid.

And the effects will not be vastly different. Just varied in intensity.

Most people dying from fentynl aren't buying it on purpose. They're heroin addicts who would gladly choose that if it were legal.

Your kinda contradicting what your asking about. On the one hand, you recognize PayPal and accepting CCs in general can be a pain and or expensive, but then your asking what the technologically literate would use.

The technologically literate would know of these pain points, understand there are reasonable fees associated with accepting CCs and act accordingly, no?

Stripe.com has been my go to for accepting CCs since as long as I've known it's existed. If not stripe, PayPal distilled down to the bare minimum is all of what, 10-20 lines of code after including the SDK?

Neither are really a big deal to implement now a days.

If not taking a CC strait up via a website / app, I guess I'd choose Square first and take the CC over the phone or in person, then maybe Patreon. I still prefer to be paid in actual government backed currency so not a huge fan of BitCoin. Hell, I'd rather use Venmo then BitCoin, lol...
> A lot of people in places hit worst by the opioid epidemic don't have much of a reason to get up in the morning

There was a Reddit comment on this subject to the effect of "I don't think of a muffin as breakfast, I think of it as my reward for getting up and going to work instead of hanging myself." And that sentiment is probably coming from a software developer in NYC or SF or whatever, so imagine how things look for everyone else.
Yes, but only for voluntary bumping. Involuntary bumping requires the airline to pay cash if the passenger insists on that. It seems reasonable to offer cash before moving to involuntary bumping. Anyone who can read would request cash rather than vouchers worth the same $$$ (a $2000 voucher might be different, but they didn't offer that, either).

And even if they didn't, they could have drawn say 10 passengers instead of 4, and given them "a written statement describing their rights and explaining how the carrier decides who gets on an oversold flight and who doesn't" as mentioned in the page you linked, They might very well have found 4 people who would have refused a voucher but would have accepted a $800 check.

Or skip the stupid lottery and go with involuntary bumping of the 4 people who checked in last. Well, pretty much anything but what they did.

I still disagree in essence. I know that obesity increases risks but I don't remember how much, it seems a complicated situation with a small effect, compared to say... smoking.
People do drop dead from prescription opioids. Hospital injections of morphine are done under close supervision by trained staff. Fentanyl patches do kill.

That is an inherently unpredictable situation. We cannot predict or measure the subjective and changing tolerance a patient has to opioids.
The article is discussing this study "Association between active commuting and incident cardiovascular disease, cancer, and mortality: prospective cohort study"

http://www.bmj.com/content/357/bmj.j1456

Abstract
Objective To investigate the association between active commuting and incident cardiovascular disease (CVD), cancer, and all cause mortality.

Design Prospective population based study.

Setting UK Biobank.

Participants 263 450 participants (106 674 (52%) women; mean age 52.6), recruited from 22 sites across the UK. The exposure variable was the mode of transport used (walking, cycling, mixed mode v non-active (car or public transport)) to commute to and from work on a typical day.

Main outcome measures Incident (fatal and non-fatal) CVD and cancer, and deaths from CVD, cancer, or any causes.

Results 2430 participants died (496 were related to CVD and 1126 to cancer) over a median of 5.0 years (interquartile range 4.3-5.5) follow-up. There were 3748 cancer and 1110 CVD events. In maximally adjusted models, commuting by cycle and by mixed mode including cycling were associated with lower risk of all cause mortality (cycling hazard ratio 0.59, 95% confidence interval 0.42 to 0.83, P=0.002; mixed mode cycling 0.76, 0.58 to 1.00, P<0.05), cancer incidence (cycling 0.55, 0.44 to 0.69, P<0.001; mixed mode cycling 0.64, 0.45 to 0.91, P=0.01), and cancer mortality (cycling 0.60, 0.40 to 0.90, P=0.01; mixed mode cycling 0.68, 0.57 to 0.81, P<0.001). Commuting by cycling and walking were associated with a lower risk of CVD incidence (cycling 0.54, 0.33 to 0.88, P=0.01; walking 0.73, 0.54 to 0.99, P=0.04) and CVD mortality (cycling 0.48, 0.25 to 0.92, P=0.03; walking 0.64, 0.45 to 0.91, P=0.01). No statistically significant associations were observed for walking commuting and all cause mortality or cancer outcomes. Mixed mode commuting including walking was not noticeably associated with any of the measured outcomes.

Conclusions Cycle commuting was associated with a lower risk of CVD, cancer, and all cause mortality. Walking commuting was associated with a lower risk of CVD independent of major measured confounding factors. Initiatives to encourage and support active commuting could reduce risk of death and the burden of important chronic conditions.
You pushed what was already a flamewar into seriously worse territory with your comments here. We don't want uncivil comments like "You make me laugh" at the best of times, let alone in nasty spats about race.

Just because the rest of society is going crazy about this stuff doesn't mean you get to ditch your manners here. We've warned you about this before. If you want to keep posting here, please fix it.
No, but it's 4:20.
Off-topic: something that does not have to do anything with the subject at hand, in this case, Docker, the company producing software, software in general and so on as well as rebranding or changing the name of open source companies. What GP's associations with the name are doesn't really matter and as far as I can see did not have any influence because they are keeping the name so that is certainly not why they are changing their open source projects to be moved under a new brand.

this is exactly how it would go. This is anything but benevolent, this is another one of googles blatant anti-trust maneuvers to force you deeper into their walled-garden.
I agree. Though, 2 algorithm problems over the phone in a notepad + 2 to 4 whiteboarding interviews onsite related to algorithm. How much is too much in your opinion?

How about replacing a binary tree problem with coding an actual mini-product? A mini web site or mini app in 2 hours onsite.

How about using whiteboards to lay out architectures? Or some wire framing if you're applying for a front-end/mobile engineer?

How about spending an hour chatting with a candidate about things in general rather than a question/answer type of communications?
I wonder, if they want to use JS, why not QtQuick? I'm a heavy Thunderbird user but I would move to pretty much anything else if it were to switch to Electron.
One thing to keep in mind is that opioid drugs are not effective in the long term treatment of chronic pain. I don't know why these drugs are prescribed for that purpose to be honest.
Isn't this a failure of the USA health care system rather than a failure of legalization...?
Kind of the same in the US. Some majors are "impacted" which means tougher to get in due to heavy demand. Computer science/engineering used to be tough to get into even 20 years back before the internet became popular.
Agree. Control it, regulate it, distribute it. We do this with alcohol. It doesn't prevent people from getting addicted, but it certainly prevents people from having to resort to crimes to get the product because it's illegal.
It can be about politics - See Kim Stanley Robinson's Mars series and Foundation by Asimov for two classic works with that as the center theme. But you're painting with too broad of a brush when you label all sci-fi as primarily about politics. There still plenty of other aspects of humanity and society to explore.
