> They don't actually compete with each other, I don't even understand the comparison. Kubernetes uses docker.

Kubernetes is scheduling and orchestration. It does compete with Docker, the company - it's a direct competitor of Swarm.

Docker, the container technology, is the de facto standard container at this time. That may not always be the case. Kubernetes is not Docker-specific, thus his mentioning of the open container initiative.

They are absolutely competitors.
This looks like almost what I want for a CI system I am developing, however it is missing several things I would want:

1. Ability to run containers on other platforms (so I can test that my code works on several platforms) like Windows.
2. Per-minute or per-second billing (the testing only takes a few seconds and only occurs a couple of times per day)

Basically, on every commit to specific branches of the code base I want to spawn several docker containers (on someone else's infrastructure) I want to build (./configure && make && make test) the software on Windows/x86, Windows/x86_64, Linux/x86, Linux/x86_64 (and more -- but I'll settle for what I can get...) and then report the results back.

The containers will run for a few seconds and have no dependency on any other infrastructure, so something simple is ideal for me.
It's pretty strange that someone lost their livelihood solely because they didn't bow to authority.

Respectfully disagree. The end of the post is absolutely true and supports the title:

> On the Trinet, if you are permanently banned from GOOG or FB, you would have no alternative. You could even be restricted from creating a new account. As private businesses, GOOG, FB, and AMZN don’t need to guarantee you access to their networks. You do not have a legal right to an account in their servers, and as societies we aren’t demanding for these rights as vehemently as we could, to counter the strategies that tech giants are putting forward.

This specific part (that dominant companies can ban individuals with no recourse) shouldn't be tolerated.

How do you source the data? Does it keep current with catalog changes?
Sadly they failed the HN DDoS test.
a) Look at the user interfaces that are relatable that you think are great, take notes.

From those resources, design yours.

b) identify problems in your user interfaces; think of more elegant solutions; research and implement
Think smaller. They don't need to consider billion users at once, for modeling you can start with hundreds of thousands or few million. Trillion pieces of metadata can be reduced to tens of thousands of features (eg. instead of feeding in the raw status updates, assign each update to some class, put in some mood measurement etc). This reduction does not need to be fully automated, it can be human assisted (humans coming up with ideas on what kind of features to extract). Instead of considering all possible ads, you can start by taking out the long tail of ads with very little interaction data and focus on some specific categories.

Building this kind of predictive models is not black magic. This is what companies do to figure out who they should target on direct marketing campaigns. Applying some magical deep learning dust can quite likely improve the results (in Facebook scale), but it's not mandatory. Computationally the hardest part is building the models. Once they are done, applying them to millions and millions of customers is more straight forward.

When considering what is possible, you need to also consider the stakes. Facebook ad revenue is something like $10 billion per quarter[1]. To make more money, I can think of three ways: add more users, make users spend more time looking at their feed or make more money per ad slot. Better targeting means more money per ad slot since some customers are paying directly based on the clicks. Since improvements lead to better revenue, extra hardware costs are easy to justify.

100% correct.

Besides, these are not "just" math PhDs, but math PhDs backed by some of the largest private equity trading firms in the world, armed with multiple datacenters of 5000 blades each, running machine learning algos and playing "what if" scenarios 24 hours a day, to build rulesets and aligned structured positions so they can scrape news feeds and react in milliseconds.

Anyone who thinks they can sit at home and day-trade with these sharks without being fleeced is a fool. But then, anyone who is a fundamentals trader and is still in this outrageously irrational market is also a fool.

It's worse than that, the FP16 MAD in GTX 1080 TI is significantly slower than converting 2 FP16 numbers to FP32, performing FP32 math on them, and accumulating results in FP32. Had it been the same speed, I don't think I would be anywhere near as annoyed as I am with this crippling.

That said, at Vega's 26 or so FP16 TFLOPS, it wouldn't be hard for NVIDIA to release a GeForce Volta with 30-40 tensor core TFLOPS, that both stomped on Vega and remained significantly inferior to V100. Given how hard it is to program Volta optimally, I'm surprised they haven't done so already, if only as a Titan XV Edition that can only be purchased from their website.

If you are someone else’s employee then you are already “bowing to authority” or as I put it working for someone else.

This is a good point, I had some of my European based friends look this over for their feedback for kicks and giggles. They didn't find this offensive in any way mostly just stating the fact of living situations.

In my comment I tried to specifically point out that it was more demeaning than actual racism with some of the statements which are two very different forms of offense.

You mention the whole "PC" thing which is a good area for discussion on this article. Americans (myself included) have this SJW culture around being politically correct and I think it's leading society more towards inherent racism. My old college friends came from all over the world, and we would always joke about the stereotypes of everyone's background. They'd call me 'Murica and I understood where they were coming from, as did they when we had names for each other. Nowadays it's common that someone would be offended if we joked in the same manner, and we're missing the ability to break the ice between our cultures/ethnicities and be friends without perceiving it as prejudice.
They have a reporting system. It doesn't work (and currently, they don't have any incentive to make it work, because hate speech and fake news are engagement).
How a tech company can dictate a lifestyle, and make you lose your job for it, is beyond me. I guess you deserve the consequences if you subscribe to that lifestyle contract.

True, but the big guys like First Data are out of reach to the size of shops that generally use square. (They can use them, but the fees don't get appreciably more competitive until you clear a certain scale.) I'd say Tsys and Worldpay are appropriate alternatives if you're the size of business who's considering square.
Looks like they're making an example of him more than anything else. In this case, a lot of media reporters already have made detailed videos of the phone so the damage is minimal -- but if another engineer leaks the next iPhone at an alpha stage, it would be very different.
I think Google should be allowed to do whatever they want, as long as they don’t lie to their visitors and pretend they are a search engine, which is what they’re currently doing.

Perhaps this is the solution; require Google to stop calling itself a search engine.
>we've warned you before

What are you talking about? Are you serious? You must really enjoy living in a bubble. I'd be glad to take my sourced comments to a community that appreciates... sourced, verifiable comments. What's the point in discussion if it's not for finding the truth? Virtue signalling?

After the "Obama never did anything controversial" discussion (AND I VOTED FOR HIM), I can tell pretty clearly the mods here value cohesion over facts, logic, and reason.

So if I'm banned for that, I consider it a badge of honor to be on the right side of history in standing for liberal values. I really can't comprehend how you can value engineering and research and then shut your critical thinking brains off when you start communicating with other people.

The thing about bubbles is... they eventually pop. Enjoy yours while it lasts. It must be genuinely enjoyable to live in denial since so many people seem to be doing it these days. But I wasn't blessed with the ability to think I'm right all the time, even when someone posts a sourced rebuttal.

If this last election has proved anything, it's that people like you are furious that their bubble is starting to crack. You all thought you had the election "in the bag". Then the shock and tears came when reality seeped in to the bubble. So enjoy having a website, while the rational people will enjoy having the White House, cycle after cycle. Because as outraged as you get, the one thing your group statistically can't be bothered to do... is vote.

TL;DR I'm better than you. ;) :P

Yes. And that's my point: We have no autonomy to decide whether something matters. You don't get to choose.

Unless, of course, you're in a position of power. Then you do.

That kind of cheapens the idea that we're all working to build something great. Situations like this reveal what we're really working for.

On IBM i all files are are also databases, so you could just define the length of all the fields in the file, then it's a SQL database ready for use. No need for a program to parse it. Just define a file, copy the incoming file to that file. Ready to be handled with SQL. Fixed length records are trivial on the platform.

In the video, we can see an email on his phone marked "restricted" with a project code name and some other details. That could potentially be harmful. His daugher is probably not allowed to see that, let alone post it on youtube.

Not to mention, they want to tightly control the message prior to the pre-order sale... they don't want any unfinished software on the device changing people's opinion and affecting pre-orders unnecessarily.
Yes, it's beyond me how a company can have rules about what you're allowed to do on company property. /s

Look, he violated his employer's NDA and it wasn't a mistake. What do you expect?

Much worse violations have happened in the past at Apple, and were unintentional. Like the firmware leak that leaked everything about this year's iPhones. As far as I know, nobody was fired for that, because it was a mistake.

“ How to Use Price Anchoring as a Consultant” [Episode 95] Make Money Online
I'm not sure it's a jerkass-Homer episode, and him being at a chili cookoff makes perfect sense - Homer's two principal qualities are that he's stupid, and he's gluttonous. Hubris is in there, too, which is why he eats the pepper.

And I remember a few choice quotes from the episode. "This is because I kicked you, isn't it? "Dogs can't talk! - woof woof - Damn straight." But maybe that's just nostalgia talking, and the fact that I spent far too much time watching The Simpsons as a kid.

I see your point, though - I can see how it's a precursor of what happened later.

Understanding Application Footprint with Code-Level Detail
It does matter. I work in an industry where any leaks of a new product can make our share price drop or go up - so an employee being careless about what they share online does actually affect the company a lot. I would absolutely be fired if I leaked what product I am working on and I don't see anything wrong with that, it's not about bowing to authority.

It includes risk-free rate, the cost of financing. And it's 259% of funds, 159% borrowed + 100% of own funds.

For a consumer, the rate of funding would be higher, however.

If Apple says no filming on campus of an unreleased phone and you do anyway and that phone also happens to have QR codes of unreleased products, HOW is this in anyway related to whatever your comment might mean?
Feels like someone has an agenda, this is the 10th time I've heard this story and it has exactly the same information.

Father told/showed daughter prototype phone in breach of an NDA that I know he signed if he had access to that hardware. Daughter felt really proud of superstar daddy and took to the internet to show off.

Apple has three recourses,

1) Sue the employee to the fullest extent covered under the NDA. My employer can hold me personally liable for any loss of revenue and it wouldn't be hard to claim damage on this.

2) Ignore the incident, set a precedent that leaks are ok. Or internally lambast the employee which is akin to bullying in some eyes.

3) Terminate the employee, allow a clean break and for the employee to persue other jobs with newly accrued information (IE; that when your NDA says "NOBODY (inc. Family) are to be told [...] that it generally means it.

This is a non-story. Yes, it's sad. But it's wholly self-inflicted and I think Apple took the least destructive path on this.
A man was let go for allowing a family member to record video of an unreleased device on company property. In onboarding materials, it is extremely clear that this sort of thing will get you fired.
From the article, "I had no idea this was a violation"

Welp, if you weren't getting fired for showing off the iPhone X before it ships without permission you should be fired for being at Apple for four years and not realizing this might be a problem.

I can't even take this as genuine. I seriously wonder if they were already half out the door for other reasons.
> The engineering break through will be when we have a scripting/evolving system that can be more easily distilled into sealed systems. So people poking around in a spreadsheet will be able to turn that into a reliable application.

Yeah, I see that as a likely evolution as well.

In some ways, an IDE is already an exploratory system with a focus on delivering a sealed system - the final compiled software represented by the source code. I believe this combination is what made IDEs so successful and universally desirable, and future programmable environments should share these traits.

Auto-completion, refactoring and code-browsing tools support the exploratory work. The problem is that IDEs are not so good at exploration as a REPL because they're unable to store intermediate results and states. TDD could then be seen as an ad-hoc way to store such intermediate state.
> We have no autonomy to decide whether something matters. You don't get to choose.

The choice was made when he signed the NDA. That's literally what signing it means.

How is it lying? They are acknowledging the emotional trigger of the situation without agreeing that it is rational. Sounds to me like exactly how one should approach a disagreement of irrational nature.

Would you mind suggesting an alternative opener, that would also work, that isn’t “slimy”?
The key concern here is the collusion from ISPs. If they were to truly sell prioritized traffic to GOOG-FB-AMZN at a hefty discount, then it stands to reason most businesses will stop wasting their time trying to build things that don't leverage those avenues. Even as it stands today, how many "SEO gurus" are optimizing for Bing? If you want to be seen, you optimize for Google. So while I agree that all companies have an Achilles heel, this one is fairly sturdy for the foreseeable future.

Your options are to smile and sign, or start your own company. And the latter isn't practical for most of us.
I was also keeping in mind the embedded case. Yes, here you want to compile everything statically and with compile flags of your choise. But you'll also want to keep number of dependencies as low as possible so that porting to a new platform is feasible. In my opinion git submodules / cmake subprojects are more that enough for that.
It starts with all the silly flag worshiping and other symbolism. No need to go to a baseball match for that.

The reasons why people accuse JavaScript of being a terrible hack just never really resonated with me.

The "wat" video is funny, but that stuff just isn't a problem in my experience. Sure, I've been confused by "array.map(parseInt)" and other oddities, but overall, I think weird semantic edge cases are mostly an easy thing to nitpick about.

So as I see it, JavaScript is a nice little language with good syntax for literals (JSON, which conquered the world), a familiar brace notation, first class functions, high quality implementations, etc.

Bash's oddities are weirder, but it's also a fun and extremely useful language, and I like it a lot. Many of my coding and administration tasks involve calling programs, running background processes, piping streams around, making temporary files, globbing, etc etc, and shell scripting is still unsurpassed in convenience for these things.
