From personal experience, I use docker-compose to create most development environments today. The main reason for this is that maintaining a vagrant (base) box is cumbersome, while maintaining a Dockerfile and/or a docker-compose file is not.

However, there are still cases that I think Vagrant is far superior. I recently had a security-related use-case that wanted me to very precisely replicate a common production environement (LAMP w/ exim4 MTA). On docker this is complicated. On Vagrant it's very simple.

So I don't think it's dead or dated, even though Docker has replaced it for a large range of my own use cases.
> Misdemeanor convictions (i.e. less than a year of incarceration) may be served in a jail. Felony terms are served in prisons.

That's a common but not universal rule; California, for instance, sends felons whose crime is not a violent or serious felony, or one that requires sex offender registration, to county jails.
I was wondering the same thing. There are very few Vagrant tutorials later than 2013-14.

Apparently it has been succeeded (2015) by Otto (https://www.hashicorp.com/blog/otto/), though I'd never heard of Otto until just now.

Can you link to somewhere where this layering is explained?

If your environment is MS Win, may I please have more detail on how you threw out Citrix. Guacamole is not providing multiple sessions to a single computer, rather that's the functionality of a broker such as Microsoft Terminal Server (termdd.sys) which allows for multiple sessions connected to the console of a computer, likewise for Citrix. For your 50+ engineers to work remotely, they would have had to have been connected to 50 unique computers via the Guacamole Server, or you still have a Citrix server and Guacamole has replaced the Citrix ICA client...

[The web application deployed to the Guacamole server reads the Guacamole protocol and forwards it to guacd, the native Guacamole proxy. This proxy actually interprets the contents of the Guacamole protocol, connecting to any number of remote desktop servers on behalf of the user.|https://guacamole.incubator.apache.org/doc/gug/guacamole-arc...]
Do you actually have experience with counterculture? Primal instincts based around the idea of dominance prevail as often do in any social hierarchy, and the musings about some type of altruistism surrounding suicide by the commenter to whom I replied reflect this reality.

In short, the counterculture movement is plenty infiltrated with immature and often sociopathic mentalities that heartlessly harass sensitive folks who are at their most vulnerable under the influence of psychedelics. This is rarely discussed but is so prevalent, particularly since the age of exposure aligns with immature phases, adolesence in particular.

In laymen’s terms, it’s a sport to “fuck with” someone who has a “reaction”. Perhaps it’s the suicide victim realizing that, instead of this idea that they are a defective burden saving society from their own black hole via premature self termination, that they are escaping unwanted membership of a vastly primitive species. I assure you, the mentality of the suicidal is quite the opposite of “conventional wisdom” about being a burden, at least in some cases.
> The right answer to those failures should never be murder.

I agree. In this particular case though, I wouldn't blame the victim if they'd consider kneecapping a proportionate response.

Preying on the weak like that is deeply, deeply subhuman.

Your post is an example of a phenomenon known as what-about-the-men-ism. It is nearly inevitable that any article, tweet, etc that discusses women's issues will get one or more replies essentially asking "... but what about the men?"

Honest question: If this were an article about leukemia death rates would you have posted about prostate cancer? Most people wouldn't because it wouldn't be relevant to the article. The only way I can see this topic being relevant is if you believe in "battle of the sexes" theories or think men are systematically victimized by society (we aren't) and want to point out this as an example. I don't know if you believe in either of those things or if you have a different explanation? Linking to DC implies an agenda but based on the principle of charity I will assume you just weren't thinking about the implications when you posted this.

There are several reasons prostate cancer doesn't get the same attention as breast cancer.

1. Fewer high-profile people organizing around it and starting foundations to study it. You may wish the world worked on a slightly more utilitarian scale where we distributed medical research resources fairly according to need and impact. The reality is the squeaky wheel gets the grease.

2. Prostate cancer isn't nearly as squeaky of a wheel:

a) men who get it usually get it later in life compared to women who get breast cancer. Dying at 45 of cancer is a tragedy. Dying at 75 of cancer is a day that ends in Y.

b) most forms of prostate cancer are slower-growing and less metastatic; as a result even men who get it often choose not to get treatment and end up dying of heart failure or other ailments before the prostate cancer has any negative effects. In the US, the 5-year survival rate for prostate cancer diagnosis is 99%.

I'm glad research is being done on prostate cancer and breast cancer at the same time; I don't see any need for an "equal" funding principle. If such rules did exist it would have to be based on # of affected people and life-expectancy. Under such a system prostate cancer would probably rank as over-funded right now.
Parents would have to be equipped to be able to answer these questions in the way you suggest though. That seems a bit of a stretch if they haven't been educated similarly themselves

There is very little time for developers of a system to use on support, so how do you go about building the baby padding around them? I would imagine at least 97.5% of support requests are a problem on customers end, so just how much support staff would you need for a global service like this?
Future Shock
Generally I am for a smaller government rather than larger. But in this case, the private sector has demonstrated that without regulation specifying otherwise, they will do nothing to protect our identities.

The Social Security Administration's official policy on SSNs is that consumers don't have to give their SSN to businesses with the exception of tax-related things like employment and banks. But, they also say that businesses can choose to not do business with you if you are unwilling to give out your SSN.

And businesses have done nothing to help people secure their identities. In fact, they've done the opposite.

Starting around 20 years ago, I refused to give my SSN out except where it was specifically required by the govt. The insurance companies seemed to be the ones who had the hardest time of it, it required hours of effort with my insurance company to let me not have my SSN as my identifier. They ended up putting all zeroes in. But then every time I used my insurance I had to work with them ("What is your SSN?" "The insurance company doesn't use my SSN, they use all 0s." Blank stare).

Around 10 years ago it got to the point where there was even more push back and the effort was more than it was worth.

It really wasn't helping, being "the one guy who wouldn't give out his SSN". Pretty much every time I explained it to a doctors office they would say "I've never heard of that before, but it makes sense." That sort of pushback only really works if, you know, at least a few people do it. :-)

In the Nordic countries we have 2 factor authentication with your bank used as means of authentication. See for example BankId in Sweden. Tools like this reduce the use of SSN to a username instead of a password like it should be.
As I understand it there are four fundamental forces in physics: strong and weak nuclear forces, the electromagnetic force, and gravitational force.

This discovery of gravitational waves is similar to the discovery of electromagnetic waves that has touched almost every aspect of our lives.

I'm sure there will be ways to use this information. Maybe not now, but it certainly might help when humanity eventually looks to permanently slip the surly bonds of earth.
Can you explain this? If I apply for a lease how does the Fedral government know or block me?

If I need to authenticate through their system the Federal government will definitely know.

That's a pretty naive point of view. Obviously the courts are part of the system that enables success from this profit-seeking behaviour. How are they going to help? Everyone from the scammers to the judges to the lawmaker who wrote the laws is probably on the $$$ gravy train.
Really fascinating from a linguistics perspective, I'm curious as to how this works and if it is possible to abstract away to help with the cataloguing of dying languages.
If at 17 someone was informed among their group that they were he best theatre students in their peer group? Then even in college they are really good at theatre and are mediocre to bad at more “marketable” skills? Do they deserve poverty for not knowing at 17 that even after 4 years or more of education the standard is more like 20+ years of education? Or that making it is not acting skill but networking skill?

At 17 people will try to do what they are best at and play to their strengths. That’s really reasonable at 17.
Any PC will do the job, the Windows subsystem for Linux is legit. Docker, Vagrant, all of it just works. No reason to buy a Mac if you're not neck deep in the ecosystem already.
I think maybe there is a different interpretation of the words "systems programming"?

I took it to mean a scheme used for developing close to the hardware programs, where as maybe others are taking it to mean a language which can be used to write common scripts and tools used by Systems Engineers.
I always wonder exactly what kind of "systems" these people are programming, clearly not any with real-time constraints. It almost seems like "systems programming" got co-opted to mean "not interpreted". At least that's what I noticed with Go's marketing.

There are a few HFT firms, most notably Virtu, that use Java. But my understanding from having interviewed people that worked there is that it's so convoluted to avoid GC pauses that you might as well be using C++.

I don't know anyone who uses it, but they did just release 2.0 last month.
So your argument is that making a dumb decision invalidates anyones ability to feel sympathy for you?

It's not a narrative. It's just common human decency. WHY THE MALICE? They made a bad decision - great: you get to feel superior.

... Are you done yet? Cause that person didn't just disappear after you got done feeling all high and mighty. As someone who has know quite a few theatre, dance and other such "dumb majors". I actually know quite a few who've become very successful working in their field. They may not be actresses or professional dancers, but they work close enough to the field that they feel their degree is useful. Many also chose to work outside that field in other decently paying jobs (technical writers, editors, etc).

Why do you feel the need to just act as if it's hopeless and throw these students out? Is your need to feel superior that significant?
I've been using the service for a while and really like it. One oddity though - about 3 months ago my wife started getting Informed Delivery emails for our old address, didn't sign up for it and it was obvious from the names on the envelopes that we are not the current residents. Very odd...

I see. (As I said, I know next to nothing about cryptocurrencies.) So what happens when the last block is mined? Everyone just hopes that miners stick around based on transaction fees? Does Ethereum have a similar "last block" problem, if it even is a problem?
You can hack around this by grabbing the "window.onbeforeunload" event to display the "Changes you have made to this page may not be saved: Leave/Stay" dialog when closing a tab. Reddit implements this when you're writing a comment, HN does not.

This is the right answer. If you'll be working on similar things/running the same code as the other developers, just get a Mac (can be old/refurbished to save money). You'll save a ton of headache over trying to figure out where the inevitable incompatibilities are coming from.
I use Vagrant all the time. It's fan-freaking-tastic for testing application deployments. I can write up some Ansible/Puppet/Salt code, do a vagrant up, and have some confidence that my deploy logic is sound.

How many of projects last 5 years? I'm notorious for short term thinking, but often times if pays off.
That has been a problem for them for some time. How many projects have they killed they folks relied on? Some engineers inside create an app or service and then they must move on internally and the app or service suffers from neglect for years then they kill it. You can't count on them to finish anything.

They are bound to be replaced. They have nothing but ad revenue.
> next to no useful library functions

Ah, compared with its early 1980s competition (Pascal, Modula-2, BASIC), C was quite lavishly equipped with library functions.

That's a rather narrow view.

Can you imagine what went into building the gravitational wave observatories? Don't you think that's advanced the state of the art with respect to the different kinds of technology, manufacturing, and construction techniques involved?

I support biomedical research. We're adopting scientific collaboration tools developed by the high energy physics community and specifically LIGO. These tools make it possible for large-scale, multi-institution, transnational collaborations to readily and securely share data worldwide. I'm really excited about what has become possible.

Admittedly, that has nothing to do with the detection of gravitational waves themselves. Still, these projects (and others) have improved the state of the art, and while it might not lead to something you can buy at Walmart any time soon, it might make a malaria cure happen sooner, or improve the quality of care for tuberculosis patients, or reduce the rate of breast cancer---little stuff that over time adds up to hundreds of thousands of people alive and well who, without all those little things adding up, wouldn't be alive today.
Already producible at home by people with fabrication skills. Heck, a wooden or plastic crank could be built with tools most people have in their houses already.

Also, 'bump stocks' aren't strictly necessary. Applying forward pressure with your stabilizing hand on a rifle as you fire can cause it to bump.
Good points, but multifamily rentals rely on a number of variables when calculating their model. Some rely on top-market rent and 80% occupancy. Some assume below-market rare and 95% occupancy.

New construction units also tend to have lower maintenance costs than older units, so op-ex for older multifamily will likely be higher per-unit, even in cap-ex is low.

As far as I understand it, that is nothing more than an urban legend based on the fact that 5.0 was a terrible, rushed release and not meant for production (it was also marked as such). That mistake has not been repeated since, to my knowledge.

But did he still understand it a week later?
> I think you and OP are in agreement despite the opposing tones.

I agree, but I think his tone is the more important thing to discuss here. Everyone is agreement that the "just go to college" idea is long dead (even though I'm sure this thread is gonna rehash it just for the kicks), but this attitude of feeling all morally superior to people who made well-intentioned shitty decisions? It's annoying as hell, and completely unnecessary. It does nothing but make all the programmers in a room feel all warm and giddy for their "wise, career decision" (aka lucky guess that aligned with my skills and interests at 17).

It's just so lame, unproductive, and plain mean. What's the point?
> So what happens when the last block is mined?

The best estimate is that the last block will be mined around 2140 based on the block reward halving frequency of four years. According to math and knowledge that there are 32 halving events, in 2136, the block reward will yield 0.00000168 BTC per day, which is 0.00000042 BTC per block.

We will all be dead ;) but to answer your other question yes transaction fee's will continue to incentivize miners but who knows where the protocol will be by then. It could be completely changed.
Read it. Don't agree with it. Sounds like the same negative attack that seems to be coordinated toward the valley. Most of the guys writing these pieces don't understand exponential growth. We will be going towards the future faster than they realize. If America doesn't go there China would anyway take us there. By the way, I don't understand how these guys keep aiming at the valley while the NRA and Oil industry and walstreet have been so much worse.
I haven't said nicotine is carcinogenic.
Counter-devil's advocate: The older you get, the more (exponentially sometimes) expensive it gets to keep you going from day to day. Depending on one's health, the cost of surviving an extra 6 months could be as much as the cost to stay living during the previous 10 years.

Low unemployment will do that. Just wait for when U3 creeps toward 7% or so, when the prospects of employing the sociology, theater, and gender studies majors for "college graduate salaries" becomes untenable for employers.

Then you'll probably see it pop.
