I love this sort of program. I've been using Control Plane [1] for a few years. It's nowhere near as pretty as this, but you can automatically switch contexts with sources like time, Bluetooth devices, location, wi-fi hotspots, even shell scripts.

Thanks for the feedback! We've recently implemented some pretty big performance improvements in the filesystem, including prefetching files, caching them encrypted to your local disk, and journaling for writes (allowing us to sync them over some period rather than blocking on your network connection). If you're still experiencing poor performance in the filesystem, please file a ticket on github.com/keybase/kbfs or contact me on Keybase chat (keybase.io/jzila).

Show HN: David Copperfield
Perhaps a temporary monopoly isn't the best way to reward these companies? Prize money might work better. Once the prize is awarded, there can be competition.
The day after the Fukushima nuclear incident, the top-voted article on HN was an extremely confident-sounding article by an expert about how this was a minor incident, sure to be contained and forgotten. The comments in the article were dismissive about alarm. I remember feeling a sigh of relief that the experts had pronounced it a minor incident. As the days rolled by, the news about Fukushima turned from bad to worse to horrible. Unfortunately, my archive.org skills were not good enough to dig up the front page of HN around that time to show you the article in question.

A closer tale about experts being wrong, and persistently so is the tale of the Japan Bonds' "widowmaker" trade: apparently, a lot of smart people have been wrong about this:

As for algorithms, why single one out? Google, Twitter, and Hacker News all create algorithmic filter bubbles. What's the alternative? Getting rid of the algorithms and going back to direct human manipulation of the content we see? We already have Fox News for that, and it's not an improvement. The algorithm is part of the experience, which is why it's not at all true that our hypothetical grandma could get the same value from Google Photos. Who are you to say that their opinion of the value they receive is worth less than your opinion?
The advantage of being someone who doesn't cater to the offended is you can respond to something like this by saying:

It's WAY too hard to be a scientist. The kind of salary and other sacrifices scientists are asked to make are unfair and surely deter many to leave science.

Science is the only thing moving everything forward and if the funding strategy is look for irrational people who will work insanely hard for next-to-nothing salaries...it doesn't sound like a great strategy.

This model can be annoying on running feature branches. Once you rebase, you have to force-push to the remote feature branch. It's not so bad if you use --force-with-lease to prevent blowing away work on the remote, but it still means a lot of rewriting history on anything other than one-off branches.

> There was a stock broker looking for new business. He cold called 512 people (he must have been a quant); half he told to sell X stock, half he told to buy. The next week he called the 256 for whom he'd made the right prediction and did the same again: Half he told to sell, half to buy ... several weeks later he was down to 16 people. He called all of them and said, 'look, I was right 5 times in a row ...'.

Except, what you just described is a scam and not something a registered broker can do.

Thanks for the feedback. Is there anything I can do for you? Sounds like you are having a bad day.
Historically the Macintosh distinguished between Enter and Return. IIRC on the Lisa the Return key was on the main part of the keyboard and the Enter key was on the numeric keypad. In many apps they did the same thing, but I think in LisaCalc the Enter key would enter the contents of the selected cell and leave it selected. Return would do the same and then select the cell below. IIRC the Mac version of Microsoft Multiplan did the same.

On the MBP I'm typing this on, the key is labeled enter in small type and below that return in larger type. I think holding down the fn key and pressing that key does the enter action, while without fn it does the return action. I am pretty sure my full-size Mac keyboard has return on the main keyboard and enter on the numeric keypad. I think the Lisa was the same.

IIRC there was no Enter key on the original (128K) Mac keyboard, but the optional numeric keyboard had the Enter key.

Apple have an old user interface guideline that basically said that the main keyboard was for primarily typing text, while traditional data entry was secondary. Hence the function of the Return key was strictly to insert a carriage return into some text. And so no Enter or Control key on the original keyboard. As a kind of substitute Apple introduced the Command (Swedish campground) key, but it wasn't a direct mapping of Control. And IBM further muddied the waters by introducing CUA. By the time of the Mac II the default keyboard was much more compatible with common computers. It was a time of rapid change.
But Fukushima was a minor incident...

So it is not impossible for a cat to submit a paper to a scientific journal where the editor might be a dog. What a time to be alive.
That one's hard, however, since it's frequently the case that the user interface is what makes it real to people and leads to plan revisions once they realize that e.g. the cool visualization they asked for doesn't work with 100k data-points.

I haven't found a way around this other than careful communication, which works with most but not all clients.
Where did the $850 million to bring the drug to market go? What is that spent on? The drug or chemical itself is often discovered somewhere else, in say a university lab financed by the NIH, then licensed to a company. Rarely are the subjects of testing compensated for being guinea pigs for the drugs. There are also not that many doctors overseeing the trials.
Probably harder, I dare say.

In social organisms this is called https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stigmergy and means the way that instructions can be 'written' onto the environment (i.e. ant pheromones).

In theory no set of instructions makes sense outside a compatible environment. All instructions are implicitly bound to a reality where they make sense.
The commercial products in this space (Apigee, Layer 7, MuleSoft and the like) seem to have learned their lessons over the years, but we'll see. Things like Eureka require RESTful discovery protocols that aren't exactly standards, for example, and rely on well-written client libraries.

I'll leave the dev's reputation aside as it's already being discussed elsewhere. That said, I think Dash is great. I can pop it up with a global keystroke, not just inside my editor, and I use that a feature lot. It also integrates with just about every editor so that you can open docs from inside those editors with a keystroke.

I very much love having Dash open on my small laptop screen, with Emacs open and filled with code on the much larger external monitor.

Nice. Thanks. I'm perfectly serious -- obviously the OP didn't define microservices -- you did. Good for you. Bad for the OP.

Okay, microservices look like what used to be called agents. For their communications there have been various efforts at ways to define data objects, complete with a registration hierarchy (that is, a case of public naming) and an inheritance hierarchy (roughly like some of inheritance in some cases of object oriented software). So, we had object request brokers, CORBA or some such. And we had the ISO/OSI CMIS/CMIP where ISO maybe abbreviates international standards organization, where OSI may abbreviate something in French, where some international telecommunications group, maybe part of the UN, was involved, and where CMIS abbreviated common management information system, and CMIP, common management information protocol, all mostly aimed at computer and network system monitoring and management. The work was somehow close to some old Unix work with management information base and ASN.1 -- abstract syntax notation version 1. Whew!

Okay, if there are to be lots of such microservices, as you nicely described, then they will want to be able to communicate. So, maybe they will want to use JSON (as I understand it, essentially just name-value pairs -- from Google, JavaScript Object Notation and, thus, maybe more than just name-value pairs), other mark up languages,

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_document_markup_langua...

etc. But we'd have to suspect that there needs to be some common global standards and data definitions.

Okay. Gee, in the past I went through a lot of that CMIS/CMIP, ASN.1, etc. stuff, wrote some internal papers, wrote some software, etc. so was totally torqued at microservices without definitions. Right, maybe the hidden secret is that we're supposed to retreat to Wikipedia for the
undefined terms and acronyms -- bummer.

But, I still wonder: How popular, pervasive, important, practical so far are microservices? E.g., are they a lot like agents for system monitoring and management? Where are microservices getting to be important.

No, I'm not trolling. And with your description of microservices, we're making progress here.

> Scientists who fiddle around like this — just about all of them do, Simonsohn told me — aren’t usually committing fraud

Yes they are
Wonder how JS would have gone if it had fully embraced its prototypal nature instead of hiding it behind Java-like syntax. For as long as JS has been around, there were people clamoring for classes in the language, or thinking that it had classes, or implementing a class-like structure, until finally ES6.

But it didn't have to be that way. And now the sentiment is that OOP is bad, and inheritance is evil, and classes are the worse, forcing one to predefine a taxonomy that's likely to need refactoring.

But prototypal languages can be easily changed. Just change the parent slot(s), or modify the object itself, etc.
Android Kotlin – Aggregate Functions
Spectators love a fight. Ultimately it's more about using the right tool for your situation.

Istio and Linkerd are both very young and the adoption will be with those that really need their unique features. Most companies, including startups, in my experience are using roll-your-own routing/traffic mgt via Consul , or using NetflixOSS' stuff today and probably through 2018. Enterprises are buying API Gateways and the like too - IBM API Connect, MuleSoft, Apigee Edge, etc.

As for K8S vs Swarm, I rarely see Swarm in the wild, really. From my vantage point, the battle has been Kubernetes vs. roll-your-own-Docker vs. Mesos in startups using the pure open source. For enterprises paying a vendor, it's been IBM Bluemix vs. Pivotal Cloud Foundry vs. OpenShift, as they've been making more money out of all these container vendors combined (I work for Pivotal) - probably around $300m+ annually across the vendors. Some just use their native cloud's platform, like AWS container engine, etc.

The main X-factor will be serverless frameworks eventually taking over, possibly rendering today's battles over runtimes somewhat moot.
Is the sidecar-container-within-a-pod the only deployment option on Kubernetes currently? Is a daemonset deployment (like what Linkerd does) option currently in the works?

At the end of the day though, even private individuals are beholden to the people in the nation. It's a social contract, so people may no longer agree to allow those private individuals to be wealthy and run the banks.

> any smart person in JC's shoes would have seen the writing on the wall and would have acted in the same way, imho

I disagree. As evidenced in the 23-F coup, the armed forces were either opposed to democracy, or loyal to the king. If Juan Carlos had wanted to remain an absolute monarch, all the machinery of the state would have kept turning as usual. The same way it did during 30 years of dictatorship during the Cold War.
Huh, where I work the managers are the ones who get fired for bad ops or oversights. The engineers are just penalized by dealing with shitty decisions so they dream about quitting. The smart ones just fulton out of shitty managers to good teams.
It depends on how you learn, and there is no single correct answer.

For me, and the students I have taught, I think Python is the best language to introduce absolute novices to simple concepts in programming. I then switch to Java and explain the fundamentals of CS from the ground up.

Once a student has a grasp of python and Java they have a simple scripting language and industry standard maintainable language under their belt. They understand all the basic concepts in CS and can extend to new languages and concepts on their own.

The next step would be to use C++ in the application of algorithms and memory management. By starting in python then java, you avoid really interacting with pointers and memory which, in my opinion, makes it easier for students to focus on one concept at a time. Too often in intro classes, it starts with simple concepts like types, but rapidly branches to require the student to understand many concepts at once.

_TL;DR_ Python, then Java, then C++

Land is different in many important ways, but this does not make it a monopoly; you do your cause a disservice to co-opt that language. Something doesn't fail to be a market just because it's not a commodity (where the things being bought and sold are identical/interchangeable). The art market is a market even if there is only one Guernica.

Yes, of course, in the limit where there is particular item for which there is no substitutes, this approaches a monopoly. Hence, certain pieces of land can roughly be described as monopolies, as can, say, the Mona Lisa. But this doesn't make it reasonable to characterize most land as a monopoly. Most land is substitutable, for most purposes and for most buyers, by different land. The unrealistic supposition that "someone already owns them all" in your hypothetical highlights this. How often can anyone say "I rented a house/apartment for which there were zero feasible alternatives from another seller"? Almost never.
I think we mostly agree - what you describe is what I was meant when I said actively managing currency risk. Every sale in Japan for Apple is a pile of Yen (real or virtual), that needs to be dealt with, and just holding it brings a lot of risk. You move it, you buy options to hedge if you hold it, you buy stuff with it.

My initial reaction is "...and?"

Not because I'm trying to be obstinate or lacking empathy, but because I'm trying to hard visualize a situation (re: China) where those who lose out legitimately can do anything about it.

They can't realistically move, or revolt. They can starve[0], but that's happened in the past and the State really didn't suffer for it.

It's difficult to prove things about the world---but maybe it's actually near-impossible?

Scientists always hesitate to talk about "proof," since we hold our beliefs on a tentative basis. However, some scientific theories have been corroborated to such a degree that they can be regarded as proven for all practical purposes, within broad domains. These include classical mechanics, relativity, gravitation, quantum mechanics, thermodynamics, electromagnetism, and Darwinian evolution. This level of "proof" is trusted on a daily basis in regular lab work, e.g., if an electrical circuit violates Ohm's Law, you don't throw out Ohm's Law. You look for a bad solder joint.

Granted, science is presently dominated by the life sciences. I'm sure the physical sciences have their own problems -- we shouldn't be overconfident -- but they may be qualitatively different problems. In my view, a journalist shouldn't generalize about "science" without showing that they've considered whether the generalization is justified.

Disclosure: My background is in physics, and my day job is in scientific instrumentation. It's a business where people are obsessive about replication. When an instrument goes out the door, it's been put through a stringent set of tests that could be described as replications, and the results of these tests are compared across different designs, models, batches of components, and even competing brands, all around the world.

The purpose isn't to remove papers. It's to help guide and reproduce experiments. What if we can only reproduce certain desirable results when researchers feel a certain way?

This is too important to simply dismiss out of fear. Science needs more courage, not less.
I guess I have a monopoly of my shoes then. Quite straight forward.
I can't seem to edit my comment anymore. In an attempt to correct the record, I'm very wrong about my claim in at least a couple of ways.

1. I made that statement without checking my facts

2. I recalled from the news today that China had a debt to gdp ratio of about 250% (this is total debt to gdp, including debt held by consumers and corporations)

3. I compared it to a number in my head of US debt to gdp ratio being about 100% (this turns out to be about government debt to gdp).

At the very least, the thing I intended to say is wrong or an unequal comparison at best.
