It wasn't really. Otto was touted as a long-term successor to Vagrant, it never gained much traction and ended up being decommissioned a year later:

Vagrant OTOH, is still being maintained.
Do check out Dell Precisions on Dell refurbished. They are Quadcore and have lots of memory. 4900HQ is pretty powerful.
The Apology Critics Who Want to Teach You How to Say You’re Sorry
If this sort of thing was tried before a court system, the person would've ended up in a hole.

That's why we created a justice system, because that mode of justice is not a good thing.

The justice system failed them, so logically, they'd be forced to go back to putting people in holes.
I see a lot of comparisons here to Docker, but IMO they solve two different use-cases. To me, Vagrant is most useful when I'm developing a project and want a reproducible yet easily mutable development environment. The Vagrantfile specifies packages to install and setup commands to run much like a Dockerfile, but the project source code directory is mounted as a volume so you can edit locally, re-compile & run remotely, etc. You could probably achieve something similar with Docker, but then you'd have to customize the mounts and deal with it ending up in different paths on different developers' machines & such. Vagrant and the ability to just clone a repo & run "vagrant up" is still very convenient.
Indeed it does seem cheap. They don't have to click on them, though. They don't have to log in and take out their CC to be effective. Neither do political TV ads and other older media. It wasn't enough to win the popular vote, but could it have been enough to change some folks' minds in swing states where the EC gives them more weight? Maybe yeah. Maybe enough that the feds are looking at the Facebook ad buys.
Yes. Which is why they no longer exist.
Apple Watch Series 3 review: better late than never UK
I dunno, a lot of dystopian science fiction has the veneer of shiny, and you only find the horrors when you scratch through this shiny surface.
I wonder why iodine is not mentioned in the article, and how much its use has contributed to the rate drop.
I use Vagrant+VirtualBox all the time for my development environments. I love Docker too but I find that Docker has a higher barrier of entry and comes with more mental overhead. I find that Docker works really well for production environments.

Having Vagrant with shell script provisioning makes it super simple to create reproducible dev environments that works for everyone on the team.
An acqui-hire is still an acquisition. It doesn’t work any different. Investor collects their preferences as part of the deal.
So my reading here is that the main issue is Firebase was undercharging customers, due to a bug.

They didn't go back retroactively and ask for back payments, but just started charging them accurately going forward.

Of course, that bill caused shock for some people, as they suddenly realised, "Oh s*it, I'm being charged accurately now, my bills are huge!!!"

In this customer's case, apparently they were also doing something bad with TLS tickets and not setting keep-alives - basically causing them to spam Firebase with connections:

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14357270

Of course, there's the other issue of a communication breakdown which they said they're working on.
Have you used Firebase before? In my (rather limited) experience, the development speed increases from not needing to manage your own Mongo store, not to mention implementing all of their real-time features on top of that, are quite valuable. At least for an MVP I wouldn't hesitate to do the first version with Firebase to test my assumption even if I knew I wasn't going to use it at scale. Plus you can always wrap Firebase in your own layer from the beginning.
Because this is pseudo-science that has been studied _many_ times and proven not to improve cancer survival rates? The relatively few preliminary small study that showed some trivial effect have failed to reproduce in larger or more comprehensive studies.

Some people claim alternative "medicine" (aka magic) is harmless but it isn't. The harm comes from people avoiding or delaying real treatment. Prominent HIV-deniers have died from AIDS because they refused to take the anti-viral medication. Countless people have died from treatable cancers because they went to chiropractors or "traditional healers" instead of actual doctors.

It is entirely possible that Steve Jobs would still be alive if he hadn't refused treatment for 9 months.
You're working for cheap in a company that expects you to provide your own computer and, I assume, do your own maintenance and support for it. Do you pay for your own PyCharm license as well?

Don't let the perceived social pressure of being left out make you spend even more of your own money. If it helps any, change the context. For example, slap a Tux sticker on it, and argue that since the application runs on Linux, you feel it's best to immerse yourself in that environment.

If you have to get a laptop, go for something low-end. Either your #1 or #2. It isn't worthwhile to get a MacBook Air at 2x the cost. It does have more pixels than your #2, but if that's important you can get it without doubling the cost.

While it's sometimes hard to get things working on a Mac, Homebrew and Conda have pretty much made those problems disappear. Conda is not Mac specific.

With your #1 you'll likely have to get a new battery, so include that in your pricing. You aren't doing anything that really involves CPU.

OTOH, your #2 has only 4GB RAM, which is 1/2 the Air and 1/4 your #1.

On your desktop, how much memory do you use now, and how loaded is your CPU?
Here in sunny Florida, there are plenty of examples of efficient, indoor gardens. We call them grow houses. With supplemental CO2, mylar sheeting, and constant heat, they massively out-produce a normal garden.

But they're still not economically viable for any legal produce. Sun, dirt, and water are still too cheap in the Eastern USA.

With medical marijuana here, and full legalization on the horizon, I wonder how soon grow houses will be an obscure bit of history.
We give Vagrant boxes to developers of short term projects. Some of them have Windows and we think it's easier than docker there. Furthermore our production environment is not dockerized, so it would be extra work for us. However provisioning a Vagrant box is not a zero errors experience. There are dependency problems and the occasional PC that won't run it no matter what. Maybe an image on a VPS provider would be easier to maintain and have a lower TCO.
Built For Me Inc. | Seattle, New York, San Francisco, Remote (US-only) | Senior Software Engineer | Full Time | $150k-$250k

Who we are: We are a small company loathe to use the word “startup”. The phrase that most aptly describes us is “boutique consulting firm” as we are currently working on select software consulting projects and have a long term vision to build a stand-alone product in about a year. The future product will focus on enabling business workflows and growing workplace productivity. We are being smart in our approach balancing software consulting with our own product. We balance both to pay ourselves well and support our vision for the future.

Who you are: You are a self-starter who can work with little supervision. You are meticulous about details and sufficiently passionate to get things done, yet know when to pivot to a more experimental move-fast mode. You should be a great teammate who looks to make your colleagues more productive because you know they are doing the same for you. You love the state-of-the-art and yet understand the danger of being there and can articulate the reasons why.

> I posit that people who use and love docker have larger teams with proper full-time admins and not just 1-3 people wearing all the hats.

We switched from a Vagrant based workflow, to a docker-compose one, and we are a team of 2 developers. That said, I identified use cases for Docker that offered very compelling advantages. For a typical web app, this may not be the case. In our situation, we run a load that is very background-job intensive, with multiple clusters of external resources used by the background jobs, so it's definitely a different story than the typical 2-3 tier web stack.
You gotta love the idea of personally identifying information, known only to you and three large corporations.
Thanks SEC. They are fighting a Bitcoin EFT while "warning" us about Ponzi schemes that don't exist. I dislike Trump as much as the next guy, but "Drain the swamp" sounds better and better.

> Just what the heck is a gravitational wave?

A ripple in space time as two massive bodies orbit each other. Mass bends space time, if the mass moves, it's going to change how it bends space time, if it moves in a regular pattern (an orbit), that creates a wave.
I would say that React isn't a unique case if one feels this way. There are probably individual frameworks within your language community that translate to usable front-end code.
> If you're going to own a gun for the purposes of protection, you should be able to fire it accurately, or you are a danger to yourself and others.

But, conversely, the number of bullets you need for protection in any specific situation goes down with accuracy, so inaccurate shooters legitimately need more bullets.
That would be the case when the bandwidth was the limit, but it’s not.

The limit is in the immense latency for opening a new connection.

Opening a network socket with TLS can take over 4 seconds on mobile, which is why ideally you’d even use an open websocket for communication instead of new GET requests. Navigating to a page in this version causes one or two network requests, in the real HN it takes far more just to check if the images have changed, the CSS has changed, etc.
I've played with High Fidelity. It constantly disconnects, and it can take over a minute for an area to load enough to provide basics like 'a floor to walk on' or 'the shapes of buildings'. Second Life ran a hell of a lot better on my crappy old computer on a crappy Internet connection; the graphical improvements of High Fidelity are scarcely better and certainly don't justify the poor performance.

Oh, and it's already full of furries, so you might as well torch it and start again.
Internet neutrality is not a hot button issue for most of the voting demographic, nor should it arguably be. Definitely an upper middle class problem.
That is actually extremely good to know. Thanks for the information!
The actual instruments are not at Caltech. The instruments next to Central Engineering Services / Steele House / Annenberg are just test equipment afaik. The instrument sites are in Washington and Louisiana.
Clever take on a vintage concept. Nice work.

Assuming you've kept the price of a pixel at 0.001 Ether, you've made 61.7 Ether.

At today's market value, that's roughly $18,000. Not bad!
It's all a lie. All a big lie.

Localization really brings out the best aspects of AR (vs. VR or flat experiences). It shifts the tech from being a utility to a discovery platform.
In that case, I feel good that I did submit a comment (two perhaps) to the FCC regarding this issue.
Would be interesting if they would give examples of ICOs or other crypto related investments which turned out to be Ponzi schemes or fraud.

As others have pointed out, use-cases for Vagrant still exist, but docker containers is a more popular VE for development. Docker very much still has stuff to work through (ex. docker storage) to believe there's going to be a hot new VE sooner rather than later.
There's nothing wrong with exploration and improving language interop across platforms.
Vagrant boxes are great for fast/simple VM needs.

Docker is probably better for larger and longer term use.

Either is pretty damn good for development machines, with Vagrant being slightly easier to hack on.
That's not what the framers intended. They intended that the citizens have weapons sufficient for them to form a valid, militarily useful fighting force. And they knew what they were talking about; they had just found such fighting forces to be very useful in order to overthrow the government that existed at the time.
To further elaborate - a young student putting in $1000 in facebook seed round would now be a millionaire. Not unthinkable for someone like a young Warren Buffet. The government has successfully regulated the future to the top 1%, while claiming it's for the public good.
Because it can't be awarded posthumously I think it is impossible to divorce it from politics.
The offline database experience still looks really primitive compared to Realm, and all the documentation seems to purposefully avoid any details with regards to conflict resolution. Are there any plans to address this?
Unfortunately, this is pretty true. I tried to work with them a bit as a 3rd party content provider and I was shocked by how little secret sauce they really had.
Every once in a while, I pick up my neighbors' sex toys while I'm scanning BT frequencies.

It made me feel kind of gross when I realized that I could (probably) play with the toy remotely and they'd never realize that I was the one who intruded on their time (if they even realized it was more than a bug). I never actually did (see point about gross), but I've been debating buying one myself just to fiddle around with it.

Good to know we've progressed to an age where digital sexual assault is possible.
Good point. read-modify-write transactions are a good way to detect conflicts and get a chance to handle them, but they're unfortunately limited to while the client is online. If the client is offline, the transaction will fail so they're not useful for general conflict resolution. This was an intentional decision because there's not a straightforward way to preserve the intent of the transaction across app restarts. But there may be options for adding some sort of conflict resolution strategy in the future that leverages the same underlying primitives that transactions use today.
docker-compose works very similar. I clone, run "docker-compose up", and I'm running against the local copy of the code that I can edit, etc
> Many libraries have free online access to very large journal collections and are open to the public.

Most US public libraries don’t have access to ‘scientific’ journals. Only educational and research institutions libraries subscribe and provide access to their faculty students and staff. Most univ libraries are not ‘officially’ open to general public.
This is pretty bad...
How do you know? Have you ever worked in online advertising? Most companies easily spend 100k a month. Are you aware you are being manipulated by the media on this story?
> most of "experts" (in whatever field) who have so called "higher education" diploma don't understand a damn thing.

While this is generally true of the charlatan fields like psychology and sociology that can't even replicate their own results, I'd hazard to guess that Moore's Law is entirely reliant on Ph.D.-level work in materials science, etc.
Quebec laws may be different where it comes to what may fall under human rights statutes?
I was going to write "the ISP market is a natural monopoly", but then I noticed that's missing the point in this case.

Because the fear of Non-Net-Neutrality goes far beyond the usual "there's only two ISPs where I life and they both offer the same deals".

It's something in completely its own category of nefariousness because they could be as anticompetitive as they want, and the market could not solve it. Even if SpaceX did its thing and broke the speed limit on light.

That's because the injured party isn't their customers, who could take their business elsewhere, or at least loudly complain on the internet (if they have any).

It's someone not part to the ISP<->customer contract, namely that unknown video startup in Nantucket, or the e2e-encrpyted messenger app your friend Lauren is working on. They're going to be forced into paying ISPs if they ever want to reach the ISPs' customers. And there's no risk to the ISP, because nobody is going to change ISPs for some startup they've never heard about.
Bearing in mind that fastText supports many more languages than CLD.
You know, there are plenty of articles just like this one criticizing the construction of wind farms in the NE (there, because the South is way too small to have a sizeable project).

There aren't enough articles criticizing Brazilian solar farms. That's probably because they are expensive. As they get cheap enough to turn a profit, you can be sure the articles will appear.
>Why do people keep thinking they can use a garbage-collected language for “systems programming”?

Why do you think it can't be done?

It was already used for systems-programming in the early 80s; whole machines were programmed in Lisp in low level: TI Explorer, Xerox workstations and others.
When I first started to use Vagrant I had slowness issues as well. However, through a bit of digging around I figured out that by mounting the shared folder through NFS and to create a swap file, pretty much all slowness issues disappeared.
Not really. What I want a (mostly anonymous) ID?
Why? If you are an actor on Broadway, your minimum pay is $1,861 per week[0]. So if you're working 40 weeks per year, you'd be making, as a minimum, $74,000. This is higher than many teachers' salaries, and in line with many other professionals. Plus there's a very high (if very narrow) ceiling on those salaries.

You can make the argument "well most actors never make it as a broadway actor". While true, do most software developers make it as a Google developer? And how likely is it that someone whose talent lies in acting is also talented enough to do well at software development? Sometimes, you should play to your strengths, even if the relative bargaining power of your strengths are not as strong as someone else's strengths. That doesn't mean you're not following the best path to "have a better life".

These studies are darn expensive. To track people for 10 years would almost double the cost of it.

Maybe even greater is the opportunity cost. If you have a good result, it would take the double of time for the society to benefit from it.

That study looks at something else entirely: The relation between screening and mortality. It doesn't say anything about survival rates over time.

> Conclusions and Relevance When analyzed at the county level, the clearest result of mammography screening is the diagnosis of additional small cancers. Furthermore, there is no concomitant decline in the detection of larger cancers, which might explain the absence of any significant difference in the overall rate of death from the disease. Together, these findings suggest widespread overdiagnosis.
Random hint: if like us you you have a mixture of legacy and Kubernetes deployments, run minikube with a VM driver of None in your vagrant.
Sure, yeah. So the second of the three images I posted above, I generated using 25 samples of the function per pixel. To get the pixel color, I averaged the 25 samples. What's interesting about averaging is that you can never get rid of some kinds of aliasing no matter how many samples you use (the ghost waves you can see along the axes, near the outside of the image). It can be surprising to use 10,000 samples per pixel and still have ghost waves. The reason is that averaging is almost the same thing as using a "box filter" meaning you can think of it as a response function for each pixel where the shape of the response function is constant over the pixel (or sample), and 0 outside the pixel - so shaped like a box.

The third image uses a Gauss response function - as in the standard normal distribution (e ^ -x^2). This function spreads each sample around into neighboring pixels, and the result is that the image is just slightly blurrier, but you can get rid of all ghosting.

There are better response functions (or kernels) that are less blurry than Gauss, but I happen to personally like Gauss when generating very high quality and very large poster prints.

The other people here gave links to Nyquist theory:(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nyquist%E2%80%93Shannon_sampli...)

Knowing the theory is generally good, but I also enjoy resources that talk about image processing specifically, it's closer to home and more concrete, there are more visual examples.

Google "image resampling"

Image magick has some examples in their docs: http://www.imagemagick.org/Usage/resize/

I keep a Vagrant box in parallel with nearly every server I manage, as a staging/testing instance where I can check new configuration. In this capacity it's great, though I find it a little heavyweight for use as a dev environment for individual applications. Since people are making disparaging comments comparisons to Docker, I'll comment that for me they serve two different purposes: I use Vagrant for managing server configuration, and Docker for managing isolated applications, many of which may be running on a given server. For low-friction development, nothing beats running the stuff locally, but for languages/environments I don't use frequently and deployment, Docker+Vagrant are perfect.

Also, I build a Debian repository at https://vagrant-deb.linestarve.com which serves the .deb files so you don't have to update them manually whenever a new version of Vagrant is released.
