> Here, children are driven to school by their parents. When school ends, the parents are there waiting in their cars.

Do parents get out of their work in the middle of the afternoon to drive their kids from school to home? Do they go back to work for the last couple hours after that? Or do kids have 8-hour schooldays?
True true, maybe there's just a single part that I was hung up on in parent comment

> (a process within the VM can die and K8s will have no idea)

I suppose that I see nothing wrong with this and would say that it's not weird or unusual to be the case. They're separate things, although they both achieve visually similar goals (keep things running as much as possible).

My point is less about K8s vs Elixir but rather a statement that this seems acceptable and shouldn't be a reason to rule out something like running Elixir on K8s.
Yea that's UIImagePickerController, but obfuscated by whatever other wrapper you're using. You can do that to transfer images or upload images through iOS, basic file picker/transfer basically but doesn't invoke any other frameworks or deeper integration. What you can't do is get the video feed into a WebKit browser. It's a business decision Apple did to prevent image based Web Apps on iOS. They want them all on native apps, though we might see it with WebRTC integration.
It's a good thing we don't actually need the square root of two!
Symbolic logic / truth tables is the single most useful subject I have ever taken wrt programming. It provides an intuitive understanding of conditionals so they can be expressed simply and clearly.
what are you talking about. that's a weird conspiracy theory you've got (and i know a lot of weird theories).

but where do i begin.
oil - yes europe want to reduce reliance on russian gas but there are a LOT of countries between qatar and europe.

Arab spring - did NOT start in syria. in syria the flames were fanned by all interested countries in the hopes that a bunch of autocratic dictators would be overthrown with no effort required. didn't work, total balls up, in every case the cure was worse than the problem.

Turkey - got involved for 3 reasons: 1) the shit-show was on their borders. 2) the more the kurds got involved the more turkey saw a need to reduce their power. 3) turkey now sees it self as a regional super-power and wants a show of force.

Russia - they inserted themselves into the mess and claim Syria under there sphere of influence. their troops get a bit of practice, they get an ally and a port in the Mediterranean.

Iran and Saudi - they have been having a proxy war in yemen and the US has re-affirmed it's support of the saudi (they would be crazy not to). they made a BIG flashy show about stopping terrorism. very next thing that happens they all turn on qatar.

'Russia won the war in both Ukraine and Syria, at same time' what is your sentence meant to imply? these weren't wars they were minor deployments of resources that wouldn't tax any reasonably large country.

stop spreading propaganda.

I’ve seen 3 Shell stations on one intersection, and a Starbucks literally less than 100 feet across a street from another Starbucks, so I could believe that.

For a great joke, look up “Starbucks across from a Starbucks” on google by Lewis Black.

Most of those innovations however seem to be playing "catch-up" though and there's a huge question mark as to whether most (not necessarily all) of the benefit goes to capital holders. Even the innovations that do benefit as a percentage how much do they lift living standards by compared to innovations of old? Electricity meant I had light at night; think of your local neighborhood without sewerage, etc.

They are also "costing a lot more" in terms of training and intelligence so there's a question mark of how much the average person without capital or privilege can access them.
For me there's also a question of whether they are just playing catch up for increase in human population that's happened since the WW2 era - how many are not required if we just reduce population? Per capita are we really better of? There's a reason a lot of people are "nostalgic" for the period before the 1990's. There's also the negative things to consider of all this "innovation" such as environmental degradation, the massive increase in CO2 emissions, etc.

The "stagnant" economy (e.g food, land, health care) - the things most people need to survive comfortably have been increasing in cost significantly for most world economies. The innovations you state most of the world's population (who are mostly poor btw) would happily trade away for cheap more nutrient rich food, house, cheaper energy, etc.

Not saying hyperloops, blockchains and such aren't cool; I'm just questioning whether technology alone is what improves our quality of life. And all technology requires energy which is generally increasing in cost.
I do not want to say it is your fault for these rules, neither do I want to do the "pit bull stereotype," but when you chose the breed you did, you should have known that you will have issues finding a place with that breed.

If this is only the case in the Bay Area, then my bad. I only lived there, but of the few apartments that allowed pets, almost all of them did not like pit bulls, huskies, etc. So getting a pit bull while living in an apartment is a bad idea imho.

(But I'd have chosen the dog over bay area as well!)
Preserving public lands is immeasurably more important than 99.9999% of the framework drivel posted on HN, so I'd recommend you spend 5 minutes reading up on current affairs.
It gains a bit more unity when you try to interpret it through certain lenses.

In particular, one problem with discrete mathematics as it's taught, is that it doesn't separate the methods of counting from the set of objects that you need to count.

There are a couple of ways around this. One good way is to look at all combinatoric identities as referring to the number of ways you can connect some set to some other set. Sometimes they're called "choices", "mappings", functions, whatever. You can talk about the function and sets separate from the numbers, and the numbers drop out of properties of the set. Doing this removes a layer of interpretation and guesswork even if it ups the abstraction a bit.

Additionally, discrete math just looked at as the math of algorithms also gets you far. Sedgewick's Analysis of Algorithms book is actually a discrete math book in disguise, since it gives a system of notation that can describe basically any combinatorical object separate from the counting method -- and then maps it to the counting method.

McDonald's has been investing in labor saving (including automation). A robot pours the drinks for the drive thru, they've got the combo ketchup and mustard things; and a lot of the food is prepped off-site. In-N-Out tends to be higher volume than the MacDonald's around me; but they also are cutting potatoes just in time, and hand assembling burgers.
I'd be interested to know which European countries? And does it vary by the nationality of the visitor[1]?

But we're comparing Iraq with destabilizing a country, re-securing it, establishing a relationship with the leaders, etc.. and then building a pipeline.

Google seems to think that Earth is Gliese 412

Gliese 412 is a pair of stars that share a common proper motion through space and are thought to form a binary star system. The pair have an angular separation of 31.4″ at a position angle of 126.1°.[12] They are located 15.8 light years distant from the Sun in the constellation Ursa Major. Both components are relatively dim red dwarf stars.

I am betting on the Kurds to kick their ass. The Kurds are a well trained, well equipped (for the moment at least), motivated force defending themselves.

The Turks (IMHO) are unseasoned forces are fighting battle that is against international laws, and is for a country run by a dictator. Both points that are huge factors against their success.

It will probably come down to air power, I wonder what the Kurds have in the way of surface to air missiles?

Huh... with JavaScript off, I get the answer "Distance from Sun: 92.96 million " (presumably miles) on the right hand side. With JavaScript on, I get the wrong answer from the title.

Edit: Actually, it gets the same answer on the right side with JS enabled; didn't notice that earlier. So just the instant answer is missing in the JS-disabled case.

Also, here's a screenshot for posterity (with JS enabled): https://i.imgur.com/8kyI523.png

No, it is not a non sequitur.

There is no separating out corporate culture from the fact that it is a corporation. FOSS is not a for profit corporation. Expecting it to function like one is not reasonable. Trying to impose corporate culture as the standard for FOSS is not only not reasonable, it is counterproductive.

If you want corporate software, cool. But if you want FOSS to exist at all, there has to be a fundamental acceptance of the fact that it will have a different culture and a different process.

I will add that his cussing spree here is in response to a for profit corporation trying to shit all over his project. But, hey, must be totes okay for them to shit on it since they didn't use any cuss words or raise their voice.

There is your so called corporate etiquette right there.

Highly agree. As a current high school student, I've gone out of my way to study discrete math. Though I found calculus interesting, it's not particularly applicable to any part of CS except for a few concepts. OTOH, DM is incredibly useful for practically everything, which is what led me to seek it out.

That's actually correct at the time of this post :)

AU is an average distance from Earth to the Sun. Since Earth's orbit is elliptical, it will be closer than 1AU at certain times of year, and further than 1AU at other times in the year.
Five Little Monkeys Jumping on the Bed
More like, Kubernetes (and Google Kubernetes Engine) is the right level of abstraction to actually have a first-class object-type of "secret."

Compute Engine is just raw IaaS, like EC2. You "store secrets" on GCE by writing them to a volume and attaching it across your cluster, or putting them in a common database. Or just pushing data onto your instances after they're up using Fabric or something. You know, just like if they were real computers.

App Engine is made to be a complete and self-contained PaaS (much moreso than anything like Heroku), to the point that it doesn't really use external credentials for anything. For example, you can access BigQuery tables from App Engine without supplying any "BigQuery credentials." Oddly enough, if you do need to connect to third-party services (or, say, Google Cloud SQL) from App Engine, they recommend that you store the credentials to do so in... a BigQuery table. GAE is proprietary and weird. It's basically its own "abstract machine."

Kubernetes Engine, in comparison, is exactly for the use-case of "deploying workloads" of regular potentially-stateful, potentially-long-lived POSIX apps that need things like DB connection strings passed to them. If you're a modern backend developer who burns Docker images like people 10 years ago burned CDs, Kubernetes is the service you should be using on any compute cloud you interact with. Everything else is an impedance mismatch.

Yes. For one, they've obtained a position where you are forced to patronize them, even if you would choose to not utilize their services. For two, they generally get themselves excepted from local regulations (eg noise ordinances) for essentially convenience purposes.

Having said that, "privatized" trash collection creates its own type of shithole - whether it's a single vendor obtaining a city's exclusive contract for politicians' short-term balance sheet gains, or many competing services that result in visits by multiple trash trucks every single day.
I have a hard time finding information about the limits of App Engine. Eg Heroku has all kinds of stuff going on like connection limits and daily restarts and whatnot. How is that with App Engine for Elixir? Is this documented anywhere?

Also, why use App Engine over Compute Engine for Elixir? I understand "if you want more control" but can you elaborate about what kind of "more control" someone would want that App Engine doesn't offer?

Show HN: Paper Programs – Run JavaScript on pieces of paper
alas, since the crack downs, turkey just does not care about international opinion (they have a cordial relationship with russia, and donald seems to admire Erdoğan). they will probably just shell it for a while.
Hi! I was asked to repost this (a la https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11662380), so here goes. I'm JP, and I created this project after visiting Dynamicland a couple of times. I wanted to capture some of the magic there in my living room, and decided to implement the "programs running on pieces of paper" part.

It was super fun implementing this. I ended up using OpenCV.js, which has only just been released, reimplementing an OpenCV algorithm and learning about computer vision, learning about OffscreenCanvas, which is so experimental that it crashes periodically (a bug I was able to isolate and submit to the Chrome dev team), learning about how to mount a projector facing downward, and so on.

Few things are as satisfying as a piece of paper rolling out of a printer literally onto the floor, where it starts executing. And then cutting it up with a pair of scissors to change its shape.

I hope you have as much fun with this as I do!!

PS: If you want more inspiration for building cool stuff with projectors and cameras, check this out: http://tangible.media.mit.edu/project/pico/ :) They have a ton more interesting projects like that!
