Kubernetes was designed to solve Google type infrastructure problems. Although it will run Windows containers, Kubernetes won't run on Windows desktops. It's not a problem Google has. Kubernetes primary use-case is containers for server clusters and data centers. Swarm will run on Windows because the primary problem Docker tries to solve is containers for developers. Swarm is easy to setup and run on laptop. It's a part of the Docker product. A part of the experience of developing with Docker is not having to fool with Kubernetes while developing.

Docker's enterprise products are designed to fit in the larger data-center context. The laptop experience is a small part of the value proposition relative to compatibility with heterogeneous tooling and architectures.

Is this the Facebook web page? If so then using Chrome's profiling tools would be the best choice. Although, I find most web pages so complicated that they are hard to understand well enough to optimize.

For any native app performance problem I highly recommend xperf/ETW. It's an amazing tool that almost always lets me figure out the problem. tinyurl.com/etwcentral.
Let's unpack what you're stating, I think you have misunderstood something:

Retailers often include their half of CC fees in the price you pay at the till, regardless of whether a cc is used. This is on top of any fees you may pay.

Since it's the retailer deciding to leave their CC fees in the retail price, I'm getting back my money on my purchase.

It's the retailer who's keeping the extra few percent on their prices, not visa, or you, when someone is paying cash.

The questions of ethics is interesting. While I appreciate the morality checks from strangers at any time, if the retailers are pocketing the extra %, instead of providing a cash/debit price, should disdain towards 'ill-gotten gains' be focused on each 'mildly unethical' retailer you are dealing with?
It allows the company to cut costs on rent since it requires the least floor space per employee. For a room of a certain size, you can fit 20 people in a room with offices, 50 with cubicles, or 90 with an open floor plan.
Maybe it's because that's not where our customers are? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

> So what is this list implying - that JS developers should get with the times and learn C?

Presently on said path. You want to program hardware for satellites? Because C is how you program hardware for satellites (etc).

In serious, there seems to be a ton of jobs out there for C(& C++) developers. Funny though— if you search for "software engineer" or "software developer" you're not likely to see them rise to the top of the list. You'll probably have to more specifically search for "hardware" or "embedded" developer and you'll find a ton looking for C/C++, assembly(in various incarnations and sub-specs), and Java ME.
This really isn't understandable without the context of the article this one is a rebuttal of (http://jasonrudolph.com/blog/2011/08/09/programming-achievem...), and specifically this "method" that the author of the first article uses the be a good developer:

1. Identify the experiences that advance a person as a developer.
2. Select a particular experience to pursue.
3. Pursue that experience to completion. (Achievement unlocked!)
4. Reflect on that experience. Really soak it in.
5. Return to Step 2, this time selecting a new experience.

The rebutal's point is that instead of cycling back to step 2 after step 5, you should continue above and beyond, becoming really expert in the field you decided to pursue.

What the rebutal misses, in my opinion, is that in order to go beyond step 5, you need to have chosen an ambitious subject in a first place. A symptom of wanting to cycle from 5 to 2 is that the experience you chose isn't that significant and you can explore most of it quite rapidly. I see it a lot in the web development world, where after having done one or two CRUD applications devs have seen it all, and start cycling through technologies, frameworks and methodologies to make it more spicy.

One solution to this is to move deeper into the backend of rich and complex software/websites, where solving problems related to distributed systems, algorithmic efficiency and architecture will provide (but also require in a first place) vast knowledge and experience; enough for one career at least. Other fields than webdev also work well for this, including embedded systems, security and digital imaging.
Like many things with computers, scales can be deceivingly large.

I want to preface this with a note that I haven't done even napkin math on this, so there's a good chance my numbers are WAY off

All of the CPUs in the world probably won't be able to match even a handful of ASICs. It's probably the same with GPUs.

Each generation of ASICs is hashing about 4x faster with roughly the same power usage as the last. So after a generation or 2, you quickly run into the same sorts of issues where there is a good chance that all of the Antminer S3s in existence won't be able to hold a candle to a medium sized current-gen install.

And to mount an attack like that, you'd need to buy and power a monumental amount of these devices. The current hashrate is roughly 30,000,000 TH/s The current generation of Antminer can do roughly 14 TH/s

You'd need a million current-gen antminer S9's running at 1.3 gigawatts of power to get 50% of the hashrate (and from my extremely rough guesses, 4 million S7s, 12 million S5s, etc... Each generation also multiplying the power needed by some amount as well). And that kind of buying, manufacturing, and power generation isn't going to be easy to conceal.

Not to mention that evidence of a 50% attack will basically end bitcoin, making all of the money, time, and power spent on that attack truly worthless as you are left with a million completely worthless SHA256 hashing machines.

If you are able to pull off that kind of hashrate, you might as well just be a good player at that point, as you would be making $50,000 every 10 minutes at current prices.
Or, purely within the same Firefox profile, different containers? (I recognize that that's coming back to square one.)
Aside from the electricity usage concerns, this presents a big risk for bitcoin.

Centralization of mining power was one of the biggest issues of the BTC vs BCH debate. BCH proponents wanted bigger block size. While BTC proponents argued that bigger block size will lead to centralization, as not everyone will be able to propagate bigger blocks. So, if Bitmain et al. do end up controlling 90% of the hashing power, they might be able to control voting and other aspects of the network. They could prioritize their own transaction, pay lower fees etc.

Now this will lead to two things. First, cryptocurrency circles love perfect game theory. The argument is always going to be - Bitman etc are not going to harm the network even if they take over. The reason being it will always be in Bitmain's favor to ensure bitcoin's sanctity. If things go downhill they will lose tons of money and mining worthless coins. So, people should not turn away from bitcoin.

Second, we are talking about human nature and not a perfect prisoner's dilemma. So, Bitmain etc will be sneaky and maybe even vote against some BIPs they don't like. Some of their behavior will warrant people to leave bitcoin. But, then bitcoin supporters will bring up the first point again. Game theory, hence HODL.

This will at the end become a roundabout discussion:

Step 1 - News - Bitmain etc does X which is very bad. People should leave a centrally mined coin.

Step 2 - Bitcoin supporters - Game theory says Bitmain etc wont harm the network as their coins will worthless too. HODL.

Rinse and repeat.

The irrational belief in perfect math and game theory will give lot of leeway to anyone who captures Bitcoin's mining power.
This is my #1 challenge at the moment... how to sustain a remote company culture and offer mentoring/onboarding to early career Developers.

I support the "craft" of Software; which requires an equal distribution of Apprentice, Journeyman (Journeyperson) and Master level people.

But it's difficult to "pass on" the craft to an Apprentice who is remote, so our team tends to be all mid-career folks.
bitcoin's value is not important in the long run because the block reward (number of bitcoins created every 10 minutes) drops every 4 years and eventually go to zero by 2140. More people using bitcoin will definitely attract more energy in the short run, but the energy alocated to mine bitcoin is not going to consume the whole world as some people say. The increase of energy consumption by bitcoin miners will probably look like a sigmoid function in the far future.
> Do you think that Mozilla's marketing of Firefox as more privacy focused is a bad thing?

Not at all. This just strikes me as desperation, jumping on the hate train against Facebook because it's easy. Instead I'd like to see them actually develop their container functionality into a mainstream feature for the browser that might gain enough attention to make people start asking why Chrome, Safari, or Edge don't do the same.

I could see it very easily existing somewhere between the "New Window" and "New Private Window" menu options. They'd just need to rebrand it as something other than "containers" for the masses to understand it. "Private Window" would have been good but unfortunately that's been taken, in hindsight they should have gone with something that more clearly convey's the "burned after reading" forgetful nature of the private window because I think private conveys secret/isolated without the self destruction that comes with a Private/Incognito window..

People understand the Private/Incognito window, it wouldn't be hard to explain that a container window exists somewhere between a regular window and Private/Incognito. They could also easily surface or suggest sites you might want to containerize.

Not to rain on Leica too much (I love and had a whole M system) but I experienced some serious backfocus issues with their Summilux 50mm which despite two visits to their factory (which took two months) they were unable to fully rectify.

I’m not the only one, photographer Ming Thein has complained about the sample variation of Leica’s hand made lenses too.

The hand crafted nature of their range finder system is far from perfect and for the price it really should be better.
That's right, the difficulty adjusts to match the level of competition so that a bitcoin block is mined on average once every ten minutes. If fewer people were competing or if they competed with less powerful hardware, the network would adjust and the same amount of bitcoins would be mined. Increasing your hash power increases your odds of getting that block though.

But when bitcoin prices are high, there is an increased risk that someone could launch a 51% attack and start double-spending bitcoins. Keeping the level of competition high does protect the network to some extent. But really it only has to be expensive enough to be unprofitable to launch an attack. Pushing difficulty right up to the point of any mining being unprofitable is a waste.
Even if you're a New Yorker-calibre writer, you won't be able to write anything of "quality" in less than an hour.

Now imagine if you're not a New Yorker-calibre writer!

(I'm a pretty snobby reader and still like the occasional techie-founder post. You don't have to be a copywriting wizard to write something substantive, but it isn't enough to just commit text to the page. You can tell when someone has thought deeply and laboured over a piece of writing. The idea that you can write something worthy of other people's time in one hour is cut-and-dry clickbait.)
A patent doesn’t grant the assignee the right to use a technique. It grants them the right to keep others from doing so. Whether or not this patent is granted, a separate mechanism, such as regulation or legislation, would be necessary to prevent Facebook from employing the methods it claims — unless someone else, who could afford to litigate it and wouldn’t license to Facebook (a ”non-practicing non-licensing entity” (NPNLE), or “benevolent troll”?), had patented it first.
But what about all the other kids who didn't use the time? They had the same privilege and wealth and never created a software empire. Or, maybe, there were hundreds/thousands of kids around the country that had access at that time and Gates/Allen were some of the few that had the inner drive and competitive spirit to excel at it.

It depends on your audience.

If you're trying to build an audience based on pithy advice in a well-known space, there are a lot of posts like this that apply. Focus your ideas, write about one thing, make it relatable, bold a couple random words, and Bam! Traffic!

If you're writing about something technical, complex, or sophisticated, it's worth spending more time to get it write. If you're writing for developers, include code and make sure it runs. If you're writing about hard topics, find research to back up your conclusions and build a real narrative (Priceonomics does this well).

Especially as a founder, your goal should be to write the definitive piece on whatever your topic is. As somebody starting a company on that topic, you are legitimately one of the foremost experts on this topic, so people want to hear your thoughts! Keep all those other rules in mind, buy don't sell yourself short by writing half-hearted pieces that sort of rehash the same topics.

For example, where I work, we think that traffic management (routing, proxies, service mesh, all that rot) is a better way to do things if you've gone to microservices. One example is releasing software. So we wrote one article on it (in two parts). It's long, it's technical, and it has been so, so successful. We don't try to reinvent the wheel on this topic. We just point people to this post.

Show HN: Chrome extension to optimize GitHub for handling big pull request
That licence is written in some very nice plain English. Congratulations to the people that did it.
Nothing is rogue when you point your DNS to someone else's host. Because you pointed a domain you owned at GitHub, it was then possible for GitHub to obtain a certificate for your domain. Sure, maybe something was missed in the terms of use, but this is something everyone needs to understand. Pointing your domain at someone else's server allows them to get a certificate for that domain. That's how domain validated (DV) certs work, it's how they've always worked.
I've just shifted all my social interactions from the day to the night, which works very well for me. And I frequently grab coffee or run errands at lunch so that I'm not cooped up all day.

I am confused. I have a Thinkpad X220 I bought used. The original battery is still usable for my purposes. (I don't use it for travel so I haven't tried using it for more than a few hours at a time.) I just looked on Ebay and the most expensive batteries listed for the X220 are less than $50, with some less than $20. Am I missing something?
Where's that? It sounds like heaven.

I've seen swoopy spacey open office environments with lower person density than cubicles or offices. There will be no walls other than bathroom walls doesn't necessarily imply high density although it makes it somewhat easier.

Three guys in a 6x6 cubicle is much quieter and more productive than an open office, but it arguably takes up less space than all but the most extreme density open offices. Another analogy is if you insist on packing people in like crowded picnic tables or middle school lunchroom tables, merely spending an inch to put up walls isn't going to impact seating arrangements.

We can look to the troubles of almost any country to look for something which "might give us a sense of the on-the-ground human element during the decline of Rome."

Where is there notable about Venezuela which makes this comparison insightful? Wouldn't it be more insightful to compare it to, say, the decline of the British Empire?

Has Venezuela, like Rome, had a long series of costly wars (including civil wars) which took money out of the government coffers?

Has Venezuela, like Rome, lost a revenue source by no longer being able to expand into new territory?

Does Venezuela have anything like the Vandal pirates which disrupted Roman trade?

Has it undergone a partition like that of the Eastern and Western Roman Empires, where the money diverted into strengthening Constantinople meant that Rome was less defended against invasion?

Is the Venezuelan military increasingly peopled by foreign soldiers of fortune who have little loyalty to the country and might instead attack it?

Because all I get from the comparison is that there's hyperinflation going on caused by poor government and a loss of income. Which has been true of a lot of countries.

It is a waste of resources. I do agree with you. The good news, I suppose, is that all possible the bitcoins will be eventually mined (https://www.investopedia.com/news/what-happens-bitcoin-after...). At that point, it will likely be transaction fees that drive the economy, not mining.

> t is perfectly permissible to not defend a trademark. A lawyer is not obligated, and cannot, make a trademark owner defend it.

When I said “defend as required by law,” I meant “defend the IP in the specific manner dictated by our laws,” not that one is obligated to defend it at all. Eg, suing people to prevent IP from becoming generic is the defense that is recognized in our legal tradition - thus, if they are to defend it, the conservative must follow this route.
