Once upon a time there was a chipmaker named Intel. Sun decided to open source its SPARC architecture. Other folks tried to design their own FOSS CPU architectures. Intel still dominates.

FOSS zealots like to point to the success of Linux over Windows (which is restricted to the server market, I might add), but there's little evidence that the FOSS philosophy is effective when it comes to physical infrastructure. Software requires bytes and labor. Bytes are cheap and labor can be donated or paid for by companies. Hardware requires fabs and factories, which are expensive.
> I don't understand why using electron is considered "inconsiderate".

Because I chose my OS carefully and found that I like the way its native controls work. It has a number of features missing from other OSes and I want to use apps that integrate naturally with it. I have yet to find an electron app (or web app) that is 1/10th as good as a native app at fulfilling that desire. Electron apps feel like generic imitations of native apps. Yeah, they work, but everything is just off. Also, it comes from Google so I can only assume it's doing some sort of tracking of me and/or my machine resources. No thank you.

> Is it inconsiderate for Ford to make a larger SUV

It depends on which dimension they extend it and by how much. If they make it wider to where it doesn't fit in a lane on a normal road, then hell yes it's inconsiderate. That's essentially what electron does.

True, though several people are now working on compiler performance.

I've found that Rust seems as simple as it can be given the problem it's solving. For instance, lifetimes and borrow checking aren't trivial, but I have a hard time thinking of a simpler abstraction that has the same safety and performance properties.

Another way to look at it: C is "simpler", in some ways, but it pushes the corresponding complexity into the heads of developers and the code of helper/wrapper libraries and tools.
Likely because it would put it in direct competition with many of its customers.

This was essentially what happened in late 90s/early 00's, and the subsequent rise in oil prices and '08 recession led to the bankruptcy of American auto companies that had stopped producing fuel efficient cars. The taxpayer-funded bailout included a stipulation that increased their fuel economy standards; that part of the deal is now being reversed by the current administration.
The problem with scientists like Sabine is that she is working in an underfunded field of fundamental physics (phenomenological QGR) while (literally) on the adjacent floor there is an overfunded field of physics, namely gravitational wave astrophysics, which is well connected to experimental physics, astronomy, all kind of branches. In the end, this probably boils down to the "big science, little science" problem: Donors give the money to a crowd of scientists who already aquired a lot of money.

The point is that she is also a scientist and has to play the rules. She is not a professor at her institute but probably would like to be. There is definetly some envy between the lines.

Mapbox has an excellent alternative map platform based largely but not entirely on OpenStreetMap data. Mapbox GL JS in particular is a joy to work with and extend. https://www.mapbox.com/

It's not free, but it's very easy to use and the pricing is roughly 1/10th of Google's when you get past the free tier: https://www.mapbox.com/pricing/

Mapzen used to be an alternative but sadly they shut down. However many of their products live on in open source or paid-hosted alternatives. See https://www.nextzen.org/ for a start.
How long does it take for an edit to propagate from OSM to Mapbox's tiles? Average/worst case. I know this is a tough problem, so I don't envy you. :-)

The certificates are already free, Cloudflare offered them long before LetsEncrypt. You seem to want a dedicated certificate which is what costs money, likely because of their scale and existing integrations. There is no improved security with a dedicated certificate.

You can also host on github pages while using Cloudflare for the custom domain, which is already the most common setup on github for several years now.
Do you have a track record of rewarding employees who work smart/hard with increased compensation, responsibilities, etc?

Situation of the file systems in ReactOS
Jackson's status as the de facto Java standard for reading and writing JSON really reflects poorly on the Java community. Too often the biggest, hairiest solutions get anointed as the safe "best practices" choice for all new development when really they should only be used if you know specific reasons why they will pull their weight relative to simpler solutions. Jackson is an 800lb gorilla with an impressive arsenal of features, but there's no way in hell it should be the default choice for a simple greenfield CRUD application.

No, it's not. It's the simple literal meaning. Reading any more into such a construct is a non-literal reading which involves some (perhaps incorrectly inferred) nuance.

I have presented no definition by which this barely-coherent claim is true.

The "bag in the back" slogan makes sense, but I wonder if it wouldn't also make sense to encourage childcare facilities to treat an unexpected missed dropoff as a potential dangerous situation until the parent is reached to confirm their intentions.
I've flailed around with this a few times in the last year or so and have found that posting things up and down a multiprocessing.Pipe is the least painful alternative.

Or maybe it's a way to control access to their systems in a more reasonable and auditable way, and prevent some abuse too.
That just means the convention is deceptive.
Qt also isn't truly native (it renders its own UI components) and shares many of Electron's drawbacks, so it's only marginally better (and means you have to learn an entirely new platform if you're already familiar with web dev).
I’ll put in a plug for my former employer’s OpenLaszlo, introduced in 2002 (preview) and 2003 (version 1.0).

OpenLaszlo was most immediately inspired by HTML and (for data binding) XSLT. I looked at Mozart for ideas on constraints, but we ended up rolling our own design — mostly because constraints were never supposed to be a feature, so they were designed and developed incrementally, in discretely releasable baby steps.

Adobe did due diligence of the company sometime around 2002-2003 too, but that deal fell through. An Adobe PM also signed up for our beta program, initially under a pseudonym, but he eventually came clean. I’ve always been curious whether Flex/MXML was related to either of those encounters.

> Since google admits that 98% of current users will continue to incur 0 cost this is simply a blatant way of getting a real name associated with their user data.

I'd imagine it's more a way to make sure the remaining 2% don't just spin up a new account every time they hit a limit.
I feel like the more obvious explanation is that older developers already know the languages young developers want to learn. JavaScript, C++, Java and Python are widely used and knowing them has a much higher return than Go or Kotlin as first or second programming languages.

If you have been a developer for 10+ years there's a good chance that you either know these "older" languages or you know that you don't need/want to learn them.
3.7 makes it easier to use dynamic imports. https://snarky.ca/lazy-importing-in-python-3-7/
Basically docker group exists because it's a lot easier to get people to just add themselves to that group than to type 'sudo' over and over again. Sad but true.

It's not mandatory to use the docker group though. That's completely optional and you could definitely just 'sudo' whenever you do a 'docker' command. The docker _daemon_ needs to run as root because it needs to be able to do all kinds of privileged system calls to actually set up the containers. But if everyone who interacts with the docker daemon is a sudoer, that's not a problem.

There is not any glory, grace, elegance or pride in distroying oneself, and the idea of "pain avoidance at all costs" is grossly overvalued.
The coupon (dividend) is 5.3% per year, and the bond repays in about 7 years, while trading at a 11% discount.

As a first-order approximation, you can imagine that you are getting paid 5.3% + (11% / 7 years) = 6.87%.

A slightly more accurate calculation shows that yield is actually closer to 7.36%. You can find the bond here:

http://markets.businessinsider.com/bonds/tesla_incdl-notes_2...
Yes Tesla's latest unsecured bonds have a coupon rate of 5.3% which they pay biannually. So for a bond with a face value of $1 they will pay you ~2.6 cents every 6 months.
I can understand not being able to remember 192.168.X.X. But if that's the issue, why not use 10.X.X.X which is private AND easy to remember? Is it really hard to remember 10?
At a pure level, Lambda "integration" is essentially an interface for passing in runtime arguments+environment to your application. If you're concerned about lock-in, you can write or integrate another entry point that executes your function on on-prem Tomcat or whatever other environment (Cloud Functions?) you want to run in.

The much harder challenge would be provisioning thousands of on-prem servers to handle the load, but I wouldn't necessarily qualify a dependency on cloud-like autoscaling as lock-in.

I guess the lock-in might come as you unwittingly couple yourself to the intricacies of the rest of AWS's offerings as your app architecture grows more complex.
Since we're suggesting alternatives already I would like to throw Nim into the mix.

- Variables aren't immutable by default, but neither are they mutable by default.

- Globals are discouraged.

- Nim compiles to C so integration with C libraries is easy and overhead is also similar to C.

- Productivity is subjective but I'd say it's significantly more productive than C.

- Despite going through a C compiler the compilation is still incredibly fast.
That's very interesting, thanks for sharing. $50/mo is a bit for a hobbyist, but not much if you're operating at any serious kind of scale!

But I mean, in addition to the StackPoint subscription, you do also pay for the master node droplets when you use it, as well as paying for the worker droplets, right? You won't be paying for those masters anymore with the managed offering, from any of the cloud vendors I've heard of announcing a managed offering. I have to imagine this is because they can do (or plan to do) multi-tenant APIs under the hood.

(Even if you get a pool of worker nodes and the pool is on machines that are exclusively yours, it seems unlikely that your constellation of masters is ever going to be exclusively yours unless your bill says "dedicated masters" and you've paid something for it... and that's fine, as long as it's done right! I obviously can't afford to give myself as many masters as a multi-tenant system can allocate a share on for me. We will all wind up getting more resilient systems out of the deal, and for much cheaper, in this arrangement I think.)

I'm definitely signing up for this preview, I hope it will include an API for creating/upgrading/tearing down clusters! I can't imagine it will do anything but obsolete StackPoint for DigitalOcean customers.

Then again, maybe the bigger value provided by StackPoint is actually that you can take this K8S cluster orchestrator with you to a different cloud if you need to move. It is obviously going to be a harder sell though, when all of the major vendors are coming out with their own managed k8s offerings that enable cost savings. Next to $50/mo, enough masters to make your cluster resilient against localized failures on a 24/7 basis are... pretty costly, right?

It's really going to come down to, are the managed offerings as good, better, etc than the ones you can install yourself with a tool like kops (or are they as good as the ones that a service such as StackPoint can help you install for yourself?)

I wonder, did you try installing Kubernetes for yourself before you tried StackPoint? If so, what distro(s) did you try and which ones did or didn't make the cut?

The person in question obviously never saw neither the text of the sentence nor heard about the Index Librorum Prohibitorum. And it seems that these that argue "that is not why" have the interest not to mention either of those.

And even if we assume that the given "person didn't accept" something so blatant, that fact is definitely not enough to allow anybody (including you) to claim that the text of the sentence is actually irrelevant. Being in denial doesn't make your argument more valid, quite the opposite.
I didn't say it's impossible (I've also done it), but for something that's not a full-time job/project, it's a lot of extra work that could be avoided by simply using Electron, especially if you are already familiar with web development but don't have any experience with any of the native platforms.
They don't usually share data across the groups like that.

They would essentially be asking Amazon retail to share proprietary data with AWS, which would then allow someone like FedEx to start using AWS to get that proprietary data.

That data is probably much more valuable to Amazon retail hidden then it would ever be to AWS exposed.
