I'm one of the runc maintainers, and have been thinking a lot about how to create a new runtime from scratch. Despite a lot of flaws, runc's daemonless design is something that we did that was the right decision.

However, I've also been thinking about ways to defend against hostile containers. And it turns out that a lot of the tricks you need to do are very hard if you don't use a daemon and are impossible if you don't want to pollute the host namespaces.

I've spoken to Vish (the author) and we'll see if we can include some of my architecture reworks into railcar or if I'll go off and do my own thing.

Oh, and by the way, if you like runc's design you should probably go look at rkt. I'm planning on putting in the work to make rkt work without systemd, but the really nice thing about rkt is that it's architecture is also completely daemonless.
Intent really matters, especially in cases like these. He's serving up files deliberately, knowing they will likely cause problems.

Microsoft doesn't take the fall for malware, even if its a fault in SMB or the like.

The intent is damage.
The argument here was that being offered assistance is personally insulting. In this case, I think the "same exact logic" holds. Yes, the line of questioning is a bit of an abrasive way of putting someone on the defensive, but I wanted to have a clear and direct answer for why the ghetto comparison held.
I think you're confused. The first objective clause is pretty direct.
This is like the soft equivalent of leaving a USBKill device in your backpack, to punish anyone who successfully steals it and tries to comb through your data.
This might actually work well with fail2ban integration. Every time you block a connection, you also respond to the final request with a big ol' file.
yep! ;)
Yes, it's amazing what Intel can pull out of the hat when they finally get a little competition again.
This is more that the thief is parked at your front door permanently trying to pick the lock, so you replace the valuables he's looking for with big chunks of lead.
Agree, there's nothing wrong with high value speculation as long as you recognize it.

Tesla is overvalued. If you were to take a present snapshot in time (a data point) and compare the assets and cash value of Tesla with what its stock price is it would be wildly off.

Everyone always remembers the winners, the Googles, Microsofts, and Facebooks. No one remembers the hundreds of dot bomb companies (including Cisco) that saw tremendous loss in stock when everyone thought they were "certain" to succeed.
Being an engineering hiring manager for a few years, I will say that if your work environment is semi-pro (ie, no lewd jokes, no groping, ect..) being a woman or minority is a huge advantage.

I felt kind of bad for single white males sometimes. Between them and an equally competent black or Hispanic female...no contest. There don't even have to be quotas. Mgr's just love to be able to post a chart with a huge pie slice showing how awesome their minority representation is. Note the "my office is 50/50 male/female" comment from higher up implying that is somehow a measure of workforce quality.

Plus there are a Lot of women on the flipside who realize how easy it is to manipulate an all male environment when your one of like 3 females. Those are the clever ones. And men fall for it in droves.

Women are great. So are men. So are GLBTQIA and all the other versions of rainbow alphabet soup. As long as when you are at work you Get. Shit. Done.

Well, that and keep your knowingly hurtful comments and touching to yourself. This world is hellish enough as is. Lord help us when mind reading tech gets pervasive. "6 of 8, your thoughts are out of compliance with Newspeak, prepare for 'reorientation'." Damn you Orwell. All my nightmares are made manifest.
well that's really shitty.

I read about the first 50 replies or so and found myself agreeing with the 'meh' user, but after reading that blog post, it seems aredridel was on to something...
To be fair to ams6110, the op went out of his way to specify the gender of the delivery person.

I had the same problem with these services and having yet to have a single person deliver to me twice over 4 years, but that's regardless of whether they are a man,woman, or any other gender
I know about unitary in math. Just what QM does with it I don't know yet!

I'm eager enough to further develop my intuitive understanding. My ugrad physics prof said I had "a good feeling for physics" -- that was after I blew away everyone else in his freshman physics class!! :-)

Yes, being careful can yield new results in old fields. I've published two papers that apparently did that, one paper in optimization and the Kuhn-Tucker conditions and one in mathematical statistics.

In physics I'm not really trying to publish tricky papers at the core of the foundations, but I do get the impression that quite a lot about QM is still a bit fuzzy to nearly everyone.

So, I'd like to clean that up, as much as I can, both intuitively and mathematically.

Going into the details about how to get approximations, etc. about the orbitals of the water molecule, likely relevant enough for a physics student, seems a bit of a detail I'm willing to skip over. And generally I'm willing enough to take the results of the more famous experiments at essentially face value although might try to differ on the explanations.

My ugrad physics prof pushed hard on the MM experiment, Young's double slit, and Fabry-Perot, and it's amazing how close those remain to challenging current topics.
A major tenet of TCP/IP and the Internet architecture is the end-to-end principle, taking the TCP/IP out of software fits poorly with the idea.

Of course in the real world people have tried it, but it hasn't caught on. There are some niche "specialized hardware talking to specialized hardware" applications where it lives on (RDMA in HPC for example).

The limited TCP acceleration features in ethernet cards that are only used in amenable circumstances have been significant sources of headache and mysterious data corruption bugs, but they have eventually become pretty common HW features - not sure how often the feature is actually used.

The need has also decreased in end-user hardware, since broadband has largely stopped getting faster - we don't have the 10-100 Gbit Internet connections that the curve from the early 2000's would have lead to. Instead we transitioned to choppy 4G on iPhones and left broadband to stagnate...
If you make a design because it looks good and not because it works well, then you're an artist, not a designer. A designer has to meld form and function. Pencil-thin light grey fonts are a fashion fad, not a thoughtful design choice.
I'm not touching any cryptocoin tech where developers are using MongoDB to serve critical data.
As a manager and employee this has also been my experience. it was even raised that effectively no employee survives a PIP due to the deliberate treatment of compensation (such as bonuses, which are immediately zeroed out) in the mandatory manager training by people who had been managers for 12, 15 years, much to the chagrin of the presenter from HR.

In the company I work for now, we genuinely try and recover people and we don't call it a PIP. But that is the exception for my personal experience over 20 years.

I was on a United flight a year or two ago, and before the flight they showed a video that was all female United employees talking about how United cared about women, and how women at United were pilots, and women were maintenance people, and how women made United work!

If I had a daughter I wouldn't want her to see that video. I think I would literally cover her eyes and ears. Sure, it's helpful for a little girl to know that there are female pilots. But I think that a kid seeing that kind of propaganda just helps build a complex for thinking women are less than men and need to make videos like that.

I'm a short guy, within the bottom few percentile of male height in the US. Being this short has been highly correlated with decreased wages and significant decreases in attractiveness. Can you imagine a video with a lot of short people saying "X company values short people. You short people can do whatever you want. Us short people are strong together. See, short people can become executives!" Makes me sick just thinking about it.

How do any women at all support this kind of thing?

doesn't this incur large bandwidth data charges for the defender?
I've seen it work out once. I used it as a voice of hope to other people I knew on PIPs for a long while until the numbers kept adding up over the years. 1 out of 3 doesn't seem so bad. 1 out of 20 or so, them's not good odds.
What's "inane" (defined as: silly, stupid) about these meetings?

Be specific, because I'm curious.
> NVMe

While NVMe benchmarks are stunning I really am curious whether in an ordinary setting the difference to SATA can be felt at all. Not measured -- felt. When the era of swap ended because CPUs / chipsets finally could handle enough RAM and when we went from HDD to SDD, those could be felt for sure.

> This is marginally different for laptops

In laptop world, the problem is that with the spread of thin craze most laptops are now running 15W CPUs instead of 35W like in the old age and so there is little performance increase, no core count increase.

The grand vision of Tesla and what's driven the price up does not exist. If you were to ask someone the idea of Tesla and why it's worth so much I'm sure you'd hear an "imaginative" answer.
> I guess you didn't get my snark

I get the point that with enough time the emanations of an internet gnome like me and my comment above could be reproduced by a simple program sampling every letter and character combination, thus making my original point seemingly contradictory because I am a sentient being and the comment was the result of intent. But...

> you're a bit overly certain that it's caused by random geological activity

The article explained why we think it's the process of geological activity/solar bombardment and I was saving any readers who were baited into thinking it might be something grander than that.

I'm totally open to the idea of intelligent space-faring life in the cosmos, in fact I hope it's the case, but I was preparing readers expectations for the content of the article.
Quoth A. Gary Shilling: The market can remain irrational longer than you can remain solvent.

TSLA is simply not responding to the market like most stocks in its sector do. That can screw with any model based on previous data, which is really the best we can do.

I like Kolmogorov a lot (father of modern probability) and have heard of his complexity but need to study that and see how it applies to physics.
> Simply put

But in the real world, this isn't always the case. The article itself is a great example. It uses giant fonts and lots of whitespace, which is good for people with poor eyesight, but it leads to a choppy, hard to follow article. It also forces you to use navigation to follow a chain of thought.
Ask HN: Recommendation for collect and send email from client-side?
I wanna let users submit their email in my app than post to a third party platform use api.

The platform store the user email as well as let me manager and send email to these users. I tried mailchimp but they don't support client-side api because of the risk of exposing account API keys.
I'm in a city and currently don't own a car. We end up buying groceries through delivery services like instacart or peapod. If the service fails to deliver, which happens more frequently than we want, we kinda just deal with not having the food we wanted. Sometimes that means esti g a substandard meal, sometimes it means eating some frozen food we had and turning the other ingredients into a different meal the next day. It's extremely incovienent but it's better than walking to s supermarket or all the problems that come with car ownership in a city

Edit:we also ended up eating out at about an average of 2.5 nights a week every year which is much higher than when I lived in a rural area with a car

That's a good point, although I think the innocuosness of the action would be at least a mitigating factor. I wouldn't expect MS to take any blame, but the "damage" being due to faults in the OS or browser would also be mitigating---a minor rearend collision on a Ford Pinto could cause it to explode because of a design flaw, but the driver of the other car wouldn't be charged with arson. (Afterthought: he might be if he rammed it deliberately, so I guess that supports your thesis rather than mine)
Well I'm paraphrasing and omitting details for reasons of brevity and memory (this was almost 20 years ago, after all). I do recall the email was lengthy and made the point more than once that I needed extra support because I was a woman. I was at least halfway through my internship, which had been going very well, when I got it. It wasn't my first intern-like role, either, I'd done an 8-month co-op at another company the year before, which also went very well. The word that Maria used in her post, and that I quoted above, really does match how I felt -- I felt like I was being told I was a victim when that didn't mesh at all with my experience.

> There isn't usually a 100% modular solution, because you want to stay flexible respectively in either dimension, to some extend. You have to chose between trade-off (as always).

There are actually language mechanisms that can get you both. multimethods, for example, or their ultimate generalization, predicate dispatch. Few languages support them, though, because they are overkill for most application domains (though there are some, such as computer algebra, where they can be very useful).

Note also that while many OO languages constrain you in having methods only occur within a class definition, this is not a requirement. Multimethods invariably need to be more flexible (because there's no privileged "self" object), but the multimethod approach can also be applied to single dispatch. See also partial classes and related techniques.

Also, ADTs in their basic form are still a very specialized, limited form of sum types. Even if you want sum types, better extensibility is often needed (though ADTs remain a very useful special case), as well as the ability to actually describe subtypes of a sum type.

See how OCaml ended up with having polymorphic variants and extensible variant types and Scala with case classes, for example.
This article goes on to suggest that Goldman Sachs orchestrated global warming so it could profit on cap and trade. Seems a bit like Epileptic Trees[0] to me.

I've known people all up and down the spectrum of "curt" and you just have to reset your expectations. I have coworkers who talk like this all the time whether they are actually grumpy or not. I just try to act according to how I feel I should and try not to reflect whatever I'm getting from them.
There's a book (I can't recall the name) written by a former HR professional on the actual function of HR in a corporation: a way to mitigate liability when firing people. That seems like the most plausible scenario given what I am reading from this blog post. If you were going to fire a well-known activist and you did not want to give away any ammunition for getting sued, there's a whole song and dance to make sure it happens. This way, you can be fired for legal reasons rather than the real reason.

I'm obviously taking a cynical take on this -- there are lots of organizations that try to use performance reviews to help an employee's career, and HR that is there to help the employees, not to bail the company out of litigation.

Probably his best defence is the fact that it's really unlikely that the attackers would ever swear a complaint or testify. Kind of a "robbing drug dealers problem". I'd be more worried about being targeted by a massive DDOS.
It might not look like quite the same Holocaust level event when you control for the ones that would have died anyway. But hey, let's not examine the details when we can just spread hysteria instead. And then when you look at the other 2 leading causes of death, which are about as bad or worse in numbers, your hysteria looks even more misplaced. And then there's the fact that about 30% of pregnancies end in miscarriage, or approx. a million per year, about twice as many as now get aborted. What kind of crazy numbers would we get if we summed all those up since 1952, also?

I was discussing this today with a woman who works in tech in SF. She's had people try to harass her, but it doesn't bother her much; she's comfortable with pushing back. She's more upset about the startup she worked for tanking because the people running it were in their 40s and 50s and too slow-moving.

Another woman I know works for a large software company that acquired her software startup. She does a lot of public speaking, despite being under 5' tall with a mousy voice. She hasn't had much harassment. But she's mostly in the US northeast, not SF.

Another is a lawyer with a big law firm in Silicon Valley. She's had problems, but not really serious ones. She was originally not too comfortable with confrontation, and was a back-room lawyer drafting contracts. But once she started doing trial work, she became used to dealing with confrontation regularly, which improved her success at work.

All three women are horse owners. That seems to help. Women who own horses are used to dealing with huge, powerful animals with strong personalities. The skills to deal with this seem to transfer. Bullies don't seem to be a major problem for horse people.

(Years ago, when I had a horse at the Stanford barn, one of the high-school girls showed up after school and announced, in frustration, "I just do not understand teenage boys". I told her "watch the rooster for fifteen minutes and you'll figure it out." The barn had a rooster and several chickens. The rooster made a lot of noise, chased the chickens around, and didn't accomplish much. A rooster is testosterone driving a brain the size of a peanut. The girl came back later and said "Now I get teenage boys.")

They have a response paper though :

"Here we provide additional confirmatory data and clarifying discussion, including sequencing data showing extensive heterozygous mutations throughout the genome in the CRISPR treated mice, which are all progeny of inbred mice purchased from a commercial vendor (JAX). The heterozygosity in these cases cannot be parentally inherited. The summary statements in our Correspondence reflect observations of a secondary outcome following successful achievement of the primary outcome using CRISPR to treat blindness in Pde6b/rd1 mice. As the scientific community considers the role of WGS in off-target analysis, future in vivo studies are needed where the design and primary outcome focuses on CRISPR off-targeting. We agree that a range of WGS controls are needed that include parents, different gRNAs, different versions of Cas9, and different in vivo protocols. We look forward to the publication of such studies. Combined, these results will be essential to fully understand off-targeting and can be used to create better algorithms for off-target prediction. Overall, we are optimistic that some form of CRISPR therapy will be successfully engineered to treat blindness."

That's the goal. It used to be that JavaScript and web development was very difficult because the languages were lacking. Today the languages aren't lacking but there's still a psychosis that won't go away. React was built for extremely complex websites like Facebook, specifically for Facebook. And now people use it just to make buttons or range sliders. Or to develop a blog, or an about page.

Despite the fact that you can make a button or a range slider natively in HTML and CSS which would be much more performant with a smaller footprint on both bandwidth and cpu. What can you say; ever since jQuery everyone has been dying to reinvent HTML and CSS, it's exactly what you just pointed out.
It's the same kind of thing as "never accept a counteroffer from your current employer", but with a much higher epistemological certainty level. Both are self-fulfilling to some extent. That doesn't make is 100% true, but it does make it the kind of hand you bet strongly on.

Yes, actually! You have no expectation of privacy with a postcard or a conversation in a public place, therefore they can be legally intercepted. This precedent predates the internet by decades.

Whether you take reasonable steps to make something private does influence the degree of legal protection it gets.
In my understanding: Your brain does two things automatically that are currently difficult for computer vision: fast and good object recognition; and comparing the history of object to track it.

Currently CV can be good or fast, but not really both.

Also, contrariwise, your brain is actually terrible at depth perception and object recognition, and employs many tricks to approximate depth perception and recognition[0]

1. Take a look at this chart[1] and let me know

(1) Which professions have a gender diversity problem? and

(2) Given that the population's gender ratio is ~50/50, which male stone mason (99.5% male) do you want to be a preschool teacher (97% female) and which preschool teacher do you want to make into a stone mason?

I've seen a bizarre thing with a certain portion of women in tech, which this article kind of alludes to. Instead of being interested in new technology or being really interested in tech itself, some number are interested in "women in tech". It's bizarre, and I believe a symptom of this effort to bring women into tech by emphasizing that they're women. Women/Men/Whatever should just be people in tech, stop focusing on gender and get to work.
