Discrimination? If you really want to go down that absurd road, I want special accommodations for being short. I want free seat pillows in movie theatres. I demand that bars implement rules that require tall people to crouch or bend their knees while on the primeses. Roller coaster minimum height to ride rules are discriminatory; let's make those illegal too. Because ME ME ME ME. Now let's talk about catering to my extreme and the GP's extreme; oh wait, thats how you get averages, you say? Thats that the market is doing, you say?

Operating a "discriminatory business" is absolutely a human right, because I dont owe you any more than what I agreed to before payment. All businesses are by nature in some was discriminatory, because of the laws of physics at the very least.
Really strict data privacy laws with a regulatory environment that doesn't play games and heavily leans towards consumer rights. In Germany at least, you're also required to obtain double opt-in and record extensive documentation of the entire opt-in process just for email marketing. If you overstep your bounds and draw the attention of regulators in Germany, it has all the comfort of the Eye of Sauron staring at you[2].

[2] Lord of the Rings reference. Most apt description I can think of for the dread that comes at the mere thought of pissing off German regulators in this area.

I've been using this on Android for weeks. It's super fast, blocks a lot of annoying ads (think jumpy mobile overlays). No bookmarks or tabs, so if you're looking at a recipe for a dish you're making, there's always a chance it gets wiped. Just use Chrome for that. Highly recommend.

Immutable infrastructure. And there should be no pain involved if the ci/cd pipeline is automated correctly.
That is a horrible format. I don't want to listen. I want to scroll and read at my speed. The most that I can use is what, 15% of my screen? And partway through reading it, it decided to start playing anyways and jump back to the beginning.

If someone (eg me) wants a transcript, make it easy to get the transcript!
Docker still has a long way to go in terms of local development ergonomics. Recently, I finally had my chance to on board a bunch of new devs and have them create their local environment using Docker Compose (we're working on a pretty standard Rails application).

We were able to get the environments set up and the app running, but the networking is so slow to be pretty much unusable. Something is wrong with syncing the FS between docker and the host OS. We were using the latest Docker for Mac. If the out of the box experience is this bad, it's unsuitable for local development. I was actually embarrassed.
Maybe. Depends what you mean by that: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15049691
I wish people would stop talking about valuation this way, emphasizing the bullshit headline valuation.

The reality is that (speculating), they probably issued a new class of stock, at $x/share, and that class of stock has all kinds of rights, provisions, protections, etc. that the others don't, and may or may not have any bearing whatsoever on what the other classes of shares are worth.
Ironically I dumped their product Todoist because they simply don't understand good UI design.
As a product developer, when a user of my software "makes a mistake" my first response is to ask myself "What could I have done to avoid the user making this mistake?"

As Jeff Attwood says:

"a well-designed system makes it easy to do the right things and annoying (but not impossible) to do the wrong things."

This isn't my experience. I've lived in the bay area for a while now. It's very warm and sunny most of the year. The peninsula gets too much sun if anything. It's getting over 95F too many days of the year now.

Fog is really only a thing to Pacifica/San Bruno. After that, fog doesn't really occur that much.

It seems easier to optimize because you're starting out so far away from the goal, so you have a lot of space to improve. The money you mostly end up "saving" is money that you didn't really need to spend in the first place, but you chose to spend more instead of going through the optimizing effort up-front (which can be a perfectly valid approach).

Yes, why?
Everyone I talk to there is practically contemplating suicide (their words) before their RSUs vest. Trying to add some process just doesn't go over well, apparently!
There's a problem---you can break out of Lua with malformed bytecode [1] and the Lua team don't want to spend the time trying to validate Lua byte code [2]. That's why the latest Lua version has an option to ignore precompiled Lua scripts.

And sadly, I can see the same happening here.

[2] The overhead will eat any performance gained by using precompiled Lua code in the first place.
If you strictly limit notifications it's okay. I'm fine with being notified of a critical bug or problem when I'm at home, and happy to grab my laptop to help. Even if sometimes it turns out to not be so critical or important.

But if you, unlike me, actually have hobbies or planned activities for your free time, deleting might be better.

Sounds like positive news because it's totally crazy to see somebody—specially if not even German—waving a Nazi flag like it's something to be proud of.

However, I wonder if this promotes hate towards the haters (probably a dumb thought)..? Who gets to decide who the bad guys are and what a hate crime is..?

Doesn't matter, it's already out in the wild. This year so far, tons of channels whose videos have had ads for years are being instantly demonetized without explanation. If even one word from a video's title, one tag is on their "controversial" shitlist, it's SOL. Knowing YouTube's track record with this stuff, they will continue to be silent and not give a shit.

Content creators that don't produce content for 5 year-olds need to start looking somewhere else than YouTube.
No link. We were all stuffed into a La Quinta Inn in San Diego, running ethernet between the balconies. There was just a bunch of us crowded into a motel room, and he just started talking about it.
What I don't like about those web giant services is, to get a human support, it requires to start social pressure like this.

If they fucked up something by automation, contacting to human support is hopeless unless you have very influential SNS status or something.

The Texas approach does sound like a good compromise. I'd be curious to know if this was proposed during the Prop 13 debate and what the public reaction was.
This is excellent news!
Your web server, database connections, http clients would be the ones leveraging OTP here. In my talks, I usually cover the design of the connection pool and how it guarantees bugs in the pool bring all connections down with it, without leaking resources.

Ideally, developers should be able to use Phoenix for simple applications without caring about the low-level OTP details. That's how we tried to structure the Phoenix book: the classic MVC and then the OTP stuff. But it seems we still have more work to do in this area. :)

Of course. I'd even agree up to a point the extremist intolerants should not be allowed (be it nazis, fascists, maoist, communists, or religious extremists). But it looks very wrong to put this in the hands of a mega-corporation with political interests. They are a virtual monopoly on search and videos.

I wonder what would the EFF would say about this.

We've been on this road before. Under the pretense of terrorism threats individual rights were eroded on a massive scale. And Google was part of it, either actively or with willful ignorance (e.g. not encrypting internal links so NSA could easily tap).

Who are they to decide what is a hate crime? In Canada it's a hate crime to refuse to use on of a dozen gender pronouns for "non-binary" people.
It is obvious from your comments that nobody will convince you of any merit Docker has. You are not "playing a skeptic".
I'm sorry this adds nothing to the conversation, but god damn the audience on this site will never cease to amaze me! HN has it all.

That's why Georgism is a thing.
Cofounder is sort of nebulous, it doesn't carry any official legal authority and isn't an "officer" of the corporation in most senses, though it has a lot of cachet in SV.

I view it as a relatively cheap bargaining chip that can burnish a person's reputation, but has little descriptive value in terms of what someone actually did to move the business forward.
So Karpersky is just more competent to find the ones from the USA Gov.
Google engaged in blacklisting people for something as vague as "hate crime" (when not crimes) is as Orwellian as it gets. Then again, as long as Antifa, BLM, KKK, Neo-Nazi, etc. persons convicted of real crimes are fairly and equally represented, perhaps we'll see real movement to shut this nonsense down.

They have the same hopes and ambitions as any of us. Some of them want to move back home and build a house, some of them want to start a business, some of them just want the chance to put their kids through college.

As a point of reference, implementing a broken, partially complete, and definitely error filled version of Scheme on C is how I finally wrapped my head around Lisp. I'd been running into that one for a long time before figuring out.
I mean, I didn't mean it that bad. It might be useful to actually try to implement something on an uncomplete system; and many useful things started as a research projects....

Except that VMware never open sourced VMkernel. That massively contributed to the lack of feature parity between VMware and Microsoft (I'd say VMware was 1-2 years ahead of MSFT). That helps you secure the market in the early years, and what you see as the valuation. Docker Inc is not similar to VMware in that regard.

Google hasn't hidden its liberal, pro-Hillary ties at least since her Presidential campaign. Can anyone say Eric "he who will not be named" Schmidt without getting suicided these days? Time will tell who answers for this.
The browser passes the origin (protocol + hostname + port) to the key. This field is included in the data the key signs. The signature would not match for an authentication response obtained via phishing because of that.

Your original description is a bit ambiguous: were you referring to a case where the actual domain was being successfully man-in-the-middle'd with a valid TLS certificate? That's not something U2F aims to solve (and not something that people generally refer to as phishing).

Edit: Small correction: U2F makes use of TLS ChannelIDs, which, if I understand correctly, would help in that scenario (MitM with a trusted-but-attacker-controlled certificate on the "real" origin). I'm not sure if anyone other than Google makes use of this yet, as it requires a new TLS extension on the server.

I don't belong to any WhatsApp group, because that's bloody annoying.

So, no. No need to switch off. I can carry on about my day, phone at my side and it only bings at me if it's actually important.
First, it's not illegal - although it does raise interesting questions of where public space ends and private property begins.

If we resolve to silencing and violence without debate how are we better? Have you talked to any Nazi? Are you sure they know history and what Nazi stands for? etc etc etc I personally haven't met one ever but when I do I won't punch them with a fist but punch them with debate.

And what will you do if they respond by punching you with a fist? I have talked to a lot of nazis, and listened to them, and have been doing so a very long time. Individual people can abandon the nazi ideology; according to people in the deradicalization movement, the most likely triggers for doing so are the birth of a child (more so if a daughter), or receiving kindness/compassion from someone who is normally a target of theirs.

But the nazi ideology is explicitly predicated on the idea of violent struggle for dominance rather than peaceful cooperation, in contrast to most others. Those who adhere to that ideology and call for the subjugation of other races, genocide, or war are not engaged in debate; they are issuing threats.

It seems like one big benefit of the binary format will be the ability to skip sections until they're needed, so the compilation can be done lazily.

But isn't it possible to get most of that benefit from the text format already? Is it really very expensive to scan through 10-20MB of text looking for block delimiters? You have to check for string escapes and the like, but it still doesn't seem very complicated.
I disagree. You're not exactly handing the title out willy-nilly. If they're calling Ben a cofounder, I'll be that has significant meaning to them.

Mh.

It's amazing how far apart I got from every single one of Mozilla's visions, from using Firefox as my main browser 8 years ago.

I love the fact that—as an example—as I travel Google shows me tools that I'll be interested in, like a currency converter, translate + word of the day in the local language, etc. etc.

I would absolutely hate having my main browser constantly forget who I am. I feel almost blessed every time I visit a website that I can log in with one click (or I'm already logged in), and when I sign up or buy stuff I can autofill my name, email, address, and credit card without having to start from scratch.

I'm not ready to give up extreme convenience and lots of time for the ideal of safeguarding my privacy with Google or Apple.

We've experienced the same problem and spoken with others that have as well so we have been working on a solution. We think Slack delivers on it's promise to free you from corporate email, but now we need to be freed from Slack.

Slack has an extensive set of options for managing notifications but they are channel-centric and not topic centric. You either disable notifications for a channel and receive nothing or you enable them and get notified of everything. We want to be notified of things we care about wherever they happen, whether we are a member of the channel or not. And we don't want to spend any time managing notification settings.

To solve this we've built a bot[0] that will let you subscribe to whatever keywords you want and will then notify you whenever those keywords are mentioned in any public channel (even if you are not a member). We've found that it has already helped us regain some of our sanity while not missing important conversations in slack.

Our high-level goal is to build tools that liberate us from the information overload that seems inevitable in the modern digital age. Focus is just one small step in that direction but we wanted to get feedback early and often, so please, check it out and let us know what you think!

After nearly a decade of using Chrome I decided to give FF another shot, having initially switched over due to slowness, an insatiable thirst for memory, and the single process model. I installed on both Windows (10 Pro) and Mac OS.

Initial impressions were good; it seemed snappy, I liked the UI, and it was using less memory than Chrome with the same number of tabs open. A couple of days in things went downhill.

On Mac OS I was getting short freezes every ~10 seconds. I found similar complaints ranging over a period of nearly five years, but no clear resolution. This morning I had FF lock up multiple times while editing Jira tickets. Since FF is still a single process, the entire browser was locked up and required a hard kill, which cost me work.

So, no thanks mozilla, back to Chrome. I know this is one person with one experience, but man, this one experience was pretty off-putting. Maybe I'll try again in another decade.

Can you name a time when the blog in question actually called for violent direct action? Anyone who calls for violence or commits violence should be dealt with by the law, including the left, not silenced because you're imagining it. Unless the site in question actually called for violent action we leave it alone because you're conflating a crime (inciting violence) with someone's else's ideological opinion which they have every right to express. If we remove this blog we'd have to remove all Communism blogs, Christianity blogs, Islam blogs, etc. Ideology seems to kill no matter which one you choose.
Have you tried https://github.com/EugenMayer/docker-sync ? I've had slow FS issues with docker on mac. Integrating docker-sync doesn't take long and should help you out.
It cuts both ways. A lot of position writeups clearly have way too many bullet points (with arbitrary numbers of years of experience required in each - as if years of experience in X actually means anything), often in trivially learnable and/or transferable skill areas; or are just plain ungrammatical or otherwise incoherent. And then these places wonder why months and months go by with very few people applying.
This article is absurd, I'm not sure why people keep spamming it here.

It's just a self-righteous rallying cry for more divisiveness.
Technically you're correct. However, practically there is an advantage of electric vs mechanical shifting. Usually mechanical derailleurs misbehave a little when used under load. When in turn electric derailleurs shift just fine. That's one reason why all pro sprinters ride di2, eps or etap.

Have you ever seen a single hostility? I can't speak for startups, but if someone ever mentioned age or child status in a hiring meeting at an established Tech Company, they'd be met with horrified glares and immediately told those facts CANNOT factor into the hiring decision.

Frankly I've worked with many engineers and I've never seen any correlation, positive or negative, between overall engineering productivity and whether the engineer had children.
The purpose is to be used for quick browsing, like Google Searches, without worrying with trackers and someone getting your history.

You can always use incognito mode, but this is more convenient.

It is also really fast and lightweight, which is a plus for most mobile devices.

It is not meant to replace your main browser (probably).

Also, as rcthompson said in another comment:

> This is useful to use as your default browser. It has a quick way to open the same link in another browser, so you can use it as a sort of quarantine to vet unknown links before exposing your main browser and all its juicy user data to a new website.

Man, that brings back some memories.

Dialling in to the local BBS on my mates Amiga 1000 (or was it 500?) back in 1991 was a total revolution. We used to cycle to the BBS owners house to give him cash for access credits.
The reason join is fast for these cases is because join basically converts all iterables to a list first and figures out how much it has to join exactly.

I like containers as a concept, and I like the Docker commands for building them and running them locally. I am less convinced by Docker Swarm as a Prod-grade runtime environment, and skeptical that Docker the company can build a viable business out of something that will rapidly become a commodity, I expect the file format will long outlive the company that created it. But those are nothing to do with the question really, which can be answered purely technically.
