The reason I mentioned clearing is that the day that the bank sees the check is not the same as the day it is mailed, or the day that it is handled by the recipient. There are variables. If you are trying to achieve a decent financial status, you might want keep your cash in the savings account that earns better interest, instead of keeping excessive funds in the checking account. I'm engaging on this because I'd like to hear if there is some option besides having a benefactor provide me with a spare 'N' dollars to allow my checking account to have a buffer against the bank's unfriendly policies and the other random effects.
I'd be very interested to hear details of exactly how you would suggest, if I understand you correctly, that any Linux container can be broken out of.

With user namespacing in use (available in Docker since 1.12) I'm not currently aware of any trivial container-->host breakouts or container --> container breakouts.

There are information leaks from /proc but they don't generally allow for breakout, and in general Dockers defaults aren't too bad from a security standpoint.

The only exception for the general case is, I'd say, the decision to allow CAP_NET_RAW by default, which is a bit risky.
This is backwards.

A userspace process on x86 has a certain amount of overhead, namely the overhead needed to switch between it and the host kernel. This takes the form of SYSCALL/SYSRET (mostly) for system calls and interrupts/IRET (mostly) for interrupt returns. SYSCALL and SYSRET are quite fast. interrupts and IRET are slow.

A VM guest needs to do a VM exit (which is quite a bit slower than even an interrupt, I believe) and then fix up a bunch of host state that doesn't get restored by the CPU. Then, to get back to guest mode, it needs to manually restore some guest state and do VMRESUME.

Regular user mode wins hands down.

To be fair, unikernels get to directly create page tables, which is potentially very useful. But, for the simpler applications, it's probably not.

(I more or less maintain the glue between x86 Linux user code and the kernel. I do, in fact, know exactly how this works.)

Maybe it was covered in this article and I just don't know the technical term for it, but my biggest pet peeve is when a page is taking forever to finalize the load, but the text is all there so I scroll down and start reading. The page then pops me back to the top of the page and I think it's finished so I scroll back down to where I was and continue reading, only to have it pop me back up to the top AGAIN because it wasn't finished after all.
> Seth has published 18 books and is regarded as one the best marketing minds alongside Ogilvy or Tim Ferris, so he doesn't need to be in the trenches anymore.

I hate statements like this ie 'best marketing minds alongside Ogilvy..'.

Who considers Seth equivalent of David Ogilvy or anything close? That's really quite ridiculous actually.

Oh yeah and Tim Ferris is certainly no Ogilvy either.

Ogilvy built a world renown career in advertising. Seth wrote books and started a small company that doesn't even exist anymore. He may have some good things to say but he is certainly not in the league of a David Ogilvy.

Lastly ideas and 'how I'd do it' don't matter as everyone knows. You can have tons of ideas a new idea everyday. Not even trying to implement the idea and just being interviewed about it is like hypothesizing how you'd pick someone up in a bar or win the Olympics.

Some kind of classification system where people and/or households could be grouped together by urgency or sensitivity to calamities (e.g. diabetic, disabled, elderly) would make this process a lot more straightforward. If you're in group X you go at time Y, etc.

I don't know if I got it from Hacker News, but I've adopted the position that workplace "values" don't mean anything unless they're:

a) verifiable

and/or

b) someone could reasonably disagree with it/would actively select its negation or opposite.

Take the work/life balance, which a number of people are, justifiably in my opinion, taking issue with.

Under the verifiable condition, we need to be able to see that someone actually lives up to that value, otherwise its just a marketing term to try to fool candidates (and becomes more of a trap, rather than helpful). So do team members work 40 hours or less per week? Do you provide sick/personal leave? Do you provide 4+ weeks of paid vacation (and people actually take it)? Can you take community/charity days? Ok, then you get to list yourself under work/life balance. If those things seem antithetical to you, or they don't happen in practice, I'm sorry, but you should be excluded, no matter what you say you value.

Lets then look at criteria b). Would someone reasonably agree with its negation? Well, the easiest way to test that would be to ensure you actually list the negation of all your values and see whether anyone selects them or whether you're willing to put anyone in those categories.

So for work/life balance, what about the teams that say "we do NOT value work/life balance: we want long hours, give yourself to the team". We know they're out there in practice, and some tech types might even self-select into such, but if you or no one else is publicly willing to be listed under such a category, then unfortunately the category and its negation becomes "fluff-worthy". Meaningless. Analytical noise.

So for instance, take the following oppositions:

-team is diverse vs team uniformity

-work/life balance vs work priority

-bonded by love of product vs feelings for product not important

-eq > iq vs iq > eq

-thoughtful office layout vs horrible/don't care about office layout

and so forth.

If you could verify the value, and have their negation as categories, and people actually listed under their negation, then many categories become EXTREMELY useful.

But if the values aren't verified, and if people wouldn't reasonably list or accept a categories negation, while I appreciate the concept/thought, well...it basically becomes corporate fluff :/

Edit: There are a couple of categories where I admit having the category without its negation is useful. Things like "uses agile methodologies" could be a candidate for example. But...even there, i would love for the alternative category "Hates scrum/agile consultants" :P
Indeed; in fact, that microcontroller could conceivably do the same thing programs like Synergy do with the input events: namely, converting them into a stream of bezier-curve-based gesture-motion events and reporting those to the OS. I can't imagine you'd need to report those at more than 5Hz or so (Synergy manages to have smooth multitouch movement across a LAN just fine with an even-lower update rate.)

This is exactly true. His super skill is self promoting and capturing attention. He has definitely done well at that. And sure it's possible that he could start a business on $1000 but quite honestly I am not sure that is even a good yardstick anyway. A good business could take much more to start and in business you wouldn't never arbitrarily limit yourself in that way anyway.

Not sour grapes either. I started a business years ago with roughly $2000 (let's say it's $6k in today's dollars) that I had saved up. Made money, sold it and it's still operating to this day many years later.
No, because the heat is radiated through infrared -- not conduction and convection. Any heat transfer by conduction/convection is going to be warming the thing you want to cool and will be working counter to the purpose of the device.

I have not been through a divorce, but if you can settle things amicably, I fail to see why a divorce should be expensive.

What's difficult is splitting things up. Not just the things but also children and the place you live. You have to work out a solution with someone you'll probably have a mixed bag of feelings for and against.

You can argue that people would be better off in the split without having signed a contract with a set of rules to follow if they can't agree. But I'm not sure you'd be right.

Another thing is that I understand you're providing an argument, but I think the idea that love is the only thing keeping people together in a relationship is incorrect, it's much, much more complicated than that.
This is absurd and is why people prefer Apple computers, where one company controls the whole software and hardware stack (that includes touchpad drivers) and can ensure that this shit doesn't happen.
Opposing player on Second base could see the sign from the catcher and then sign his own back to dugout or player.

Player batting can see his own dugout or his own third base/first base manager and easily receive a signal from them.

As is now all major broadcasts easily show the catcher's sign and it can easily be decoded back to his pitches. Without the use of cheating you could only really get the signs today by having a player of your own on second base.
Unfortunately I realised that my brain just doesn't work that way. It seems that for any meaningful, productive work I need at least hour and half. On smaller budget I can only do chores, i.e. pay an invoice or answer a trivial email.

As if there was some weird rule stating "if you can't complete a thing in 15 mins, it will take you at least an hour"

For harder work, I need 3 hours and quiet. 4 hours seem to be the most efficient time chunk anyway, and after that it starts sharply falling (usually there is little difference if I work for 6 or 10 hours straight)

Not that I'm saying either side has moral superiority but also to keep in mind is that YouTube isn't a monolithic entity.

It has its own contracts and obligations with its creators and label companies. When Microsoft's officially branded agent-provocateur-ish version lets you download videos, YouTube can't really independently decide on how to respond.
I don't exactly see the Linux kernel dev community as being inclusive, so that's not really an apt comparison. Nor is it a language-based community. It's a very specific set of people who are expected to follow the rules and do things in a particular manner; and for them that's okay.

For a programming language community though I don't think that's the kind of approach to take. Sure, it could work and you may get some very talented people to help, but it's also arbitrarily limiting the kinds of people who can contribute and feel welcome based on the thickness of their skin, not on their technical ability. You may consider this timewasting, but I think it's more like a clever and nuanced form or marketing. Not only do you get the benefits of including more potentially skilled people into your community, you encourage them to actually get involved with the language. It seems like a worthwhile investment to me.

Interesting how these objections are mostly about how domes don’t fit well into existing industrial supply chains and building codes which were designed around more conventional box shapes. That is, many of the problems are not with domes per se but rather with their inability to integrate well with a culture that wasn’t expecting them.

I’ve found the same to be true of many aspects of human culture and engineering: we stick to conventions often not because they are inherently better reasoning from first principles, but just because they are conventions. This makes the whole society more efficient, but also has a way of shutting down novel ideas and experimentation.

Preference for rectangles, boxes, and square grids is (in particular) one of the most deeply entrenched of our cultural conventions, very difficult to displace. We use them for basic measurement, architecture, construction, city planning, cartography, textiles, industrial design, packaging, visual art, basic instruction in math and physics, books, circuit board and microchip layout, seating arrangements, camera sensors, computer displays, and on and on...

And Servo uses a GC deeply within its Rust code too (the JS one, in fact). I think the benefits in Servo with respect to GC would mainly be because the code is new/learnt from the mistakes of the old (and avoided historical baggage), rather than because it is in Rust.

that's very optimistic if not naive. the ones who usually benefit are the oppressors, the rest are left to their own devices if they aren't causing problems - real or perceived - or even are deemed to cause problems in the future even if they do nothing wrong right now. the collective benefits only in utopia circumstances, ie. never.

In this specific case, it sounds like:

Catcher makes a sign -> someone watching video electrically relays sign to dugout (in this case the athletic trainer who was receiving the info using Apple watch) -> info is relayed to an injured player on the bench (probably verbally) -> info is relayed to an outfielder (I guess who is a runner?) -> outfielder/runner relays information to batter with yet another set of signs.

Oh and all this was apparently going on without the knowledge of the manager or front office.

You don't need to use an Apple Watch when a runner is on second- they can see the signs directly from the catcher, that's why catchers put down multiple signs with a runner on second. When there's no baserunners or baserunners on first or third then the catcher typically uses just the standard signs and only one. It sounds to me like the sign stealing was going on when the "standard" signs were being used, I agree the article is confusing as to what is going on exactly. SMS doesn't sound fast enough for this purpose either.

There are lots of replies about how the spouses benefit from marriage, so I'll add a new reason: children, especially "oops" babies.

About half of all pregnancies are unplanned, regardless of marital status. It's honorable to explicitly define the relationship so the current and future beings affected by a sexual relationship are well cared for. Because of economies of scale, the most efficient way to care for a family is under one roof. There are direct reasons why the poverty level of kids is directly related to the marital status of their biological parents.

The legal contract and the social contract (wedding vows in front of all your favorite people) are ways to ensure the definition of the relationship is enforced by all prudent means.

Of course, you could have sex hundreds and thousands of times during your fertile years hoping that a baby doesn't happen. And you could just get married once a birth is imminent. But over the millennia, most cultures have found that an already established marriage is the best place for a pregnancy.

Anyway, I want nothing but the best for all the single-parent and divorced families out there, but it's not empirically controversial to claim that kids born to stably married couples have the best outcomes.

Three.js can be as performant as WebGL, since it's not hard to drop down to buffers and shaders and sidestep any per-frame overheads.

There are tons of gotchas though, especially for VR render loops. If you naively add even a medium amount of stuff to the scene graph, it's easy for the management overhead to eat up your budget.

On the plus side, it's all Javascript, the code is solid, and it's easy to profile with browser tooling. But Three.js isn't going to do any voodoo magic for you if you don't know what you're doing, whereas Unity might. A double edged sword.
