Edit: Just adding that it helps to think of some interpreters as faster than others, and it may pay to translate code from one interpreter to another.

Property rights themselves are a coordination problem - i.e. why should one respect the property rights of others when it benefits one to ignore them?

A developer's primary tool is their intellect. Using an expensive Macbook or a particular programming language won't magically make a lousy developer into a good developer.

Note that all the hardware and software that were used to create the original internet or Unix or Emacs (dumb 80x24 CRT terminals hooked up to mainframes or mini-computers running low-level languages) were shitty tools by today's standards, yet amazing things were done with them by smart people.

This was so refreshing to read as someone who loves the classics and studied Latin in high school. I very much agree with Emily Wilson that translation is an active interpretation of the text, not some mechanical and uncreative process. Look forward to reading her new version; the excerpts in the article are striking.
I tried the example below, saved as `main.c`. It seems she automatically reorders the static mem. Can that behavior be disabled? Can someone please explain?

#include<stdio.h>
int main(int argc, char** argv)
{
char *p;
char c;
int x;

printf("char p %p\n", &p);
printf("char %p, offset %i\n", &c, (int)((void*)&c-(void*)&p));
printf("integer %p, offset %i\n", &x, (int)((void*)&x-(void*)&p));
return 0;
}

Output on `gcc main.c; ./a.out`

char p 0x7ffc5107dff0
char 0x7ffc5107dfeb, offset -5
integer 0x7ffc5107dfec, offset -4
as everyone knows, mining bitcoin has slim profit margins, due to hardware, electricity, increasing difficulty, etc.

So could mining an altcoin offer higher returns? I'm skeptical because if a coin is too profitable, people will mine the crap out of it and then dump it, sending the price plunging.

Since June, most alt coins have lagged bitcoin..there are simply too many of them and no differentiation. With very few exceptions, anything an altcoin does so does bitcoin.

One of the founding principles of the US was individual liberty. The more the government is involved, the less liberty is possible. Now, most "anti-government" people I know differentiate between federal and state/local and it is the strong federal government we object to. Centralizing power is dangerous (as we've seen with social networks) because when some group of people whose ethics you strongly disagree with take control, you have no choice except to leave. Cannabis is currently legal in 5 states despite being illegal at the federal level.

These topics were extensively discussed in the Federalist Papers and Anti-Federalist Papers over 200 years ago, and I would suggest everyone read them.
>Amazon and eBay would be able to absorb the increased legal risk under SESTA. They would likely be able to afford the high-powered lawyers to survive the wave in lawsuits against them.

All banks have to comply with Know Your Customer regulations, which is easier for bigger banks than smaller ones. And yet society has deemed that combating money laundering and tax evasion is worth the cost. It'll be fine. Just raise more capital from your investors, it's essentially free these days.

The more interesting story with this law is more of a meta story. Here we have a change to a bedrock law that for over 20 years has granted the tech industry immunity from any liability for anything on their platforms. Which is just kind of amazing if you think about it. Imagine if the energy industry didn't have to deal with EPA regulations or manufacturing companies didn't have to deal with OSHA regulations. The political winds are starting to shift and the tech industry is increasingly going to be held responsible for the negative externalities they create.

No, the article never suggests this, that sounds like your own bias.

First you set up a strawman---and then you don't even bother knocking it down! You don't need to make up numbers "for sake of example." All this is information is available, just Google it.

Finally, it is not "the NYT" making an argument. The author is Nick Wingfield, it says so right there on top.
This is exactly right, couldn’t agree more on every point. We live in a corporate world with companies large enough to not really give a shit about any one individual. It is only when we organize that they start paying attention.

I had a terrible experience of Hertz defrauding me with zero recourse. I searched on the issue and found that it had been rampant in the past and probably day to day. Hertz simply settled every time for some measly amount in the millions. To some large corporations going this route is cheaper than doing the right thing to begin with. Yet we have a government that oks mergers left and right. A win for consumers my ass.

I suppose I'd have two questions about this.

One is what proportion of ordinary people could actually get access to bitcoins in third world nations.

Another is whether bitcoin mining will wind-up being a way to launder money and access to energy in the third world - we often hear about oil, diamonds and minerals being taken during conflicts in third world nations. If someone could turn oil into wealth with nothing more than an Internet connection and a portable server-farm, a whole range of abuses might be possible. It's been claim bitcoin mining in China can be a way to subvert currency controls already.

You're correct that Kubernetes 1.3 introduced a "secrets" API resource, but it was backed by a naive implementation which did not encrypt secrets at rest. This made it impractical for production.

Encryption at rest was introduced in Kubernetes 1.7, making it usable in production. This was done in collaboration with the Docker security team, which had previously implemented encryption at rest in Swarm.

Three totally different points:

Sometimes I find it useful to add a comment of the form "this function is called by that function" to the called function.

An editor that let you mark comments as explaining how, explaining why, identifying further work that needs doing, etc. and then filter out the irrelevant ones would be nice.

It ought to be that we could attach a comment to a specific expression, rather than just sticking it nearby.
No idea; I do extensive tensorflow/keras/opencv/numpy/openai stuff and code completion there is a joke, I just get completely unusable hints. Maybe I am A/B tested by them or something, but I am forced to have browser with documentation/stack overflow opened these days. And IntelliJ used to be much better for me at around IDEA 12, since then code completion doesn't predict my typical choices at top places, I need to scroll down more and more. So that one is individual style-based. I also long for the days of simplicity as I refuse to keep huge amount of "how to do a certain thing in certain IDE" in my head; IDE should help me with the complexity of language and not impose another time sink on me.

You can get a really excellent ROI with things like kettlebells. I'd recommend the book Simple & Sinister and finding a Strongfirst coach in your area (the organization associated with the book).

Not that I think you were being literal, but you don't have to ride your bike 2-3 hours per day to get the benefits of exercise. The biggest problem most people face is not knowing what to do and how to do it. The above suggestions should be sufficient to overcome that IMO.

We're talking about different countries here. It's not quite so simple to just move to another country.

> Fair is when equal work is equally compensated

So it's unfair that an Indian dev working in India for an Indian company earns less than a US dev working in the US for a US company? Different countries have very different economies.

I think we're going to have to agree to disagree on this one - local economy, market rates and living costs still seem extremely relevant to me.
Yeah, if they play it right they can be one-size-fits-all solution. A question is if they would take risks with such approach as their motto is to "implement stuff that is winning", i.e. copying things others did and that worked well (in commercial sense) and avoid experimental stuff that doesn't bring money in.

You could strike out on your own only to find out there's not enough of a market to support yourself with your skills and you have to get a job again. You could set a goal to save money to travel the world and have it all be depleted recovering from a medical emergency that leaves you disabled. You could invest all of your money for retirement only to see it vanish in an economic crisis.

These are more realistic but there's still an element of chance that could wrestle control away from you. If you use goals to give purpose to your life, what will you do if you discover that you absolutely cannot meet them? If it was the source of your drive, will you be able to laugh it off? What if you get there and discover that meeting your goal was not something that you even wanted at all?

My point was that you could instead focus on things immediately under your control: you could learn skills and network which may help you become your own boss, but it may also help you get a better job or start a new career if you'd rather. You could save money which would allow you to possibly travel the world one day, or it might allow you to indulge in some other nice experience or simply help reduce stress in your life. You maintain control over your life and can seize opportunities as they come, but you're not constrained by stuff outside your control, or even your past self who was setting the goals to begin with.

There is no value to the red canvas; there is only value in the conversation you're able to have about the red canvas, and especially value in controlling that conversation (and where/when it happens) by owning the red canvas.

I.e., modern art is valuable in part because people will go to art galleries and museums to stare at denotationally-valueless art if it gives them an excuse to talk/think about art history. Art galleries and museums are willing to buy those pieces to capture that foot-traffic, which gives a price to the pieces.

I often use "D MMM YYYY" (e.g., "5 Nov 2017") in my UIs when it is practical as I think it is the easiest to read, unambiguous date representation, at least amongst English speaking humans.

I'll use YYYY-MM-DD internally, or in places where sorting is important (e.g., as part of file names).
>It would be something else, if the way to get a hold of this file would be through an IPFS node that the user was running.

I agree, this seems to sort of bypass IPFS on the download side because my mom doesn’t have to have a node running to download the picture I send her.

However, one potential benefit of this service could be to act as a foot-in-the-door to gain a user base ... I could imagine a .dmg /.exe in the future setting up an IPFS node for your average non-techie user. Still, that doesn’t solve the problem of competing with existing & simple centralized solutions with similar features, as noted in other comments.

Glad to see people building projects with IPFS. Nice work.
If you look at sports like Olympic weightlifting and gymnastics, you'll see that strength and flexibility aren't fundamentally opposed. You can develop both concurrently.
> "we should all be using"

Anyone capable of thinking that thought (about any programming language) is so divorced from the vast range of pragmatic contexts within which programming happens, they might as well be shipped off to a monastery to live out their days.
When people bitch about “walled gardens” I like to remind them just why people build walls. This... is why. Sure, a world without walls and locks would be ideal, but only if it’s also a world without thieves, saboteurs, and jerks.

I wouldn't fix that "bug" either. I don't want confirmation dialogs all over the place. They are annoying when I try to close or delete. Yes, I clicked close on purpose.

Google has done a good job with some of their "undo" notifications; these work much better imho.
Not only do I think (b) is more likely than (a), I think (b) is strictly true. I mean, our concentration is quite limited and there are optical illusions which are, perhaps even more strongly than eps-adversarial examples for a given architecture, very general problems. So, given a "brain-simulated ML" thing (whatever that may mean, but let's assume it's the case), I suspect there may be a way of coming up with even more striking adversarial examples—but, considering that architectures vary heavily between humans, I suspect this would be quite person-specific.

Anyways, my final point is in saying that such a claim doesn't seem too far-fetched in any way.

That being said: I could be totally and hilariously wrong.
> The Docker company line seems to be that Swarm has been and will continue to be faster-evolving than Kubernetes

Not exactly. Kubernetes has a much larger development community than Swarm, and therefore its overall development throughput is of course higher. At the same time, Swarm is narrowly focused on a single use case: integration with the Docker platform. This narrowed scope allows for more rapid development cycles. When a Docker customer asks for a feature, it can be implemented in Swarm, integrated into Docker, packaged and released, more rapidly than the corresponding feature in Kubernetes - not because Swarm developers are smarter, but because they have a narrower problem space to worry about.

This focus and rapid development loop makes Swarm extremely useful to Docker and its users, even as it embraces Kubernetes and integrates it into the platform. It also benefits the Kubernetes community: they get an incubator for new ideas and designs which they can then generalize and adapt for their own uses. Again - this is a natural result of focus, not a sign that one project has better ideas than the other.

Examples of this "incubator pattern" include: Windows support; secrets implementation; user experience for node promotion/lifecycle.
Note that https://peerpad.net is hosted right out of a go-ipfs gateway. You can instead also use https://ipfs.io/ipns/peerpad.net or http://localhost:8080/ipns/peerpad.net, or use a specific version of it:
