That statement right there is, I feel, what Docker is all about. It converts your application from a set of files and configuration into a single blob. The conversion isn't free, but the benefits are clear and compelling.

The problem is the baseline STEM disciple looks on the baseline biz/marketing graduate with disdain like they took an easy route out.

'proper' Engineering (MECH/AERO/CIVIL/EEE) is full of memes about this mindset.

CS is just as bad.

Most decent engineers loose this mindset after freshman year but many go on to see them selves as the MVP department of whatever business.

In some ways I think Startup culture fights against this because it's really obvious at small team scale how different skill sets are needed.

The original posted news story was by a Murdoch-owned newspaper; has since been changed to the Guardian (possibly while OP was writing this equation?). So the equation kind of holds, just drop the Guardian but.
Suicide is not a reasonable choice. Quit. Reset. Declare bankruptcy if you have to. There's no dishonor in a personal struggle.

Money isn't the answer to most of life's problems. Getting in with the right company isn't the solution either.

These jobs are all just jobs. Garnering the approval of a hiring manager at one of these companies should be an ego boost, but not garnering it is no failure at all. It's not a measure of your aptitude or abilities. It's not a measure of you as a person.

It's very easy to get caught up in the moment and get caught up in the pressure of a work environment and lose sight of what matters.

What matters first and foremost is your own mental health. Take care of you. Nobody else can.

You don’t use event sourcing on its own either. You can use Rails (or Django or Symfony or whatever) to validate the command and add end-user friendly error messages. Then your models should again validate the command as an ‘anti-corruption layer’, this time throwing developer friendly error messages.

That said, I completely agree with your assessment. Event sourcing makes simple things a lot harder. It should be used sparingly, only for those situations when the history is genuinely useful.
Not sure why are you downvoted this much, this is such an obvious case of elephant in the room.
One can see it a bit like search where it can be more important to do fast exclude than to have correct include. Those 8 ad targeting groups are potential matches, but what the data do not say is the hundreds of targeting groups which twitter claim that you are not. This kind of fast classification is good as a performance/cost saving technique when the error cost is also low.

Also, one can be high spender and frugal. A person who buy one pair of very expensive shoes and wear them for 10 years rather than buying 10 pairs of inexpensive ones would be such person.

"Nothing is cheaper than proof of work" is a ludicrously overstated claim from an overstated article.

Proof of work is as expensive as it can feasibly be. When you say "nothing is cheaper than proof of work", it means you have the problem that only proof of work solves, which is that you want to achieve decentralized consensus and you trust nobody.

Everything is cheaper than proof of work, as long as you trust somebody. And if you're an anarcho-capitalist who trusts nobody, why should I want to live in the world you create? A little bit of trust is worth it to stop burning coal to power useless computation.

Thanks, I missed that recital. It's confusing that the phrase you cited isn't in recital 43.
""The Lord of the Rings is of course a fundamentally religious and Catholic work," he wrote, "unconsciously so at first, but consciously in the revision.

This reminds me of an IBM paper I read in the late 1970's.

The authors had designed an ALU that could perform calculations on words with error correcting codes. So instead o just protecting against bit errors from data read from memory the processor could handle bit errors that occurred in registers and the ALU itself.

In a for profit company, the point of the people evaluating your policy against needed care is essentially to find ways to deny you as much care as possible. In a universal system, the motivations aren't organized around whether a profit will be made or not and so the public (rather than private) bureaucrats will at least not be actively trying to kill or otherwise immiserate you. As an additional check on their behavior, the organization is directly accountable to elected representatives, very unlike the private system.
I assume by 'traditional' industry you mean stuff like manufacturing, finance? If yes, then you should check out Six Sigma, Kanban etc. Those came from traditional industry - manufacturing and applied to software engineering. Scrum and Agile evolved out of these methods.

That said, you might think retrospectives work because of the method behind it. But in my opinion it works because of the intent and culture of the team.

At a past employer we started Agile with bang. Our manager used a clock to ensure everyone spoke for 2 mins max. "Brevity is the Soul of Wit" he said. But once he left Agile meetings were in shambles. People rambled on about who they sent mail to, what meetings they had etc. because it showed "importance" of their work.

As TFA points out no matter how ASIC-resistant you try to make your PoW algorithm you're just delaying the inevitable. If any of these cryptocurrencies actually manages to become the currency of the future the incentive to increase the hash-rate-per-kW by a few percents to be worth it.

Having a pool of different algorithms might improve the difficulty but it will also make it tricky to audit all algorithms for vulnerabilities. On top of that an ASIC might not have to implement all algorithms, they could idle and only spring into action when an algorithm they implement is selected for instance.

The main point of the article stands, no matter how complicated you make your algorithm a special-purpose solution will always be more efficient than a general-purpose one, it's just a matter of balancing the cost of developing the ASIC vs. the expected return.

If, as the article points out, developing chips for minor cryptocurrencies using ASIC-resistant PoW is cost-effective I can't imagine how anybody could hope to design as ASIC-resistant cryptocurrency designed to become the currency of the future. Think about it, in the unlikely scenario where a PoW cryptocoin eventually replaces the dollar the mining rewards will quickly amount to billions of dollars. The incentive to get an edge, no matter how small, would be tremendous.

An alternative scheme would be to change the change the PoW algorithm regularly like the article says Monero is doing, but then you give a huge amount of power to the people selecting the next PoW. Consider how incredibly tempting it would be to develop an ASIC for some PoW algorithm and then have it selected by Monero, you'd have a huge head start.
In 23 years I've worked on one project that moved databases. Client requirement, huge system that Oracle was the best match for.

Also, one that was a licensed software that needed to support DB2, Oracle and MS-SQL to integrate with various state's agencies. The former was a huge pain, the latter was horrible to write code for.

For the most part, you use what works for you and stick with it. The more risky a platform, the less you rely on features like stored procedures, etc. In the end, I'd rather have vendor lock-in than have to write complex queries three times, and other really cumbersome abstractions, slowing things down a lot! Extrapolating to services beyond the DB.

In the end, the db migration was far less time/effort than maintaining an untethered software.

Yes I agree things are fundamentally broken with these situations, and they're at the common OS design level.

You're missing the part of the picture where private interests have lobbied to strangle public efforts consistently to make sure they look good by comparison.

You're also missing the part where most research is done via public grants and only the translational part is done by private industry. I looked up the profits compared to R&D at a big phrama company, and the dividends paid to shareholders were about on par. Their bellyaching is vastly overstated.

I'm a software engineer, and I took a 50%+ paycut to make the world a better place. One more anecdata vs. yours.
While this is a fair point, I’m not sure I agree. Personally while I am driven by those two things, I am probably driven more by doing new things, and even more by delivering the most value to the company that I can with my time. I recognize how impersonal and unsexy that sounds, but as a nice side-effect, it tends to yield complex problems which I am generously compensated for solving.
Yes. Even though I am not Christian, I can recognise that. Faith permeates everywhere. It's not hidden. People know their history.
> Neither does your suggestion of predefined formats.

That's exactly what predefined formats provide, what with not being a single specific format. I literally quoted Babel's 4 predefined formats which are only differentiated by their "width".

GPS _is_ less accurate vertically in certain circumstances (namely when you only have a lock on 3 satellites, as there are two possible altitudes you could be at), but usually this doesn't matter unless you're flying - otherwise just figure you're on the Earth's surface, and cross-reference map data for the altitude. Inside multi-storey buildings it's a different story, but you won't be getting a GPS signal indoors anyway.
IPv6 growth has been an almost flat curve for many years. Now suddenly it's not.

I personally expected IPv6 growth to slow down gradually. I find it very odd that the growth hit a wall like that. Oversimplifying somewhat: The number of new v6-capable users increased every month, then boom, zero.

I also find it odd that politics would have no effect at 13% or 14% deployment and then block growth entirely at 15%.
Hmm, okay. It seems to just use Python's unicode escape syntax, instead of what the standard says. But the package does support things like the complex character classes, and identifying word boundaries.

(The algorithm for identifying word boundaries in most languages without ASCII/English assumptions is quite complex and useful, as I can say from having tried to reinvent half of it before learning about the standard and the regex package. It's not a panacea -- it won't do anything useful with languages where word boundaries require lexical knowledge, like Chinese, Japanese, and Thai -- but other than that it handles all the edge cases you never would have thought of.)
There is another thread on HN right now regarding working at Amazon. There is a poor soul who is literally suicidal because he can't get into tier 1 tech companies, only tier two like Amazon where he only earns $150k.

I have also traveled and lived in third world countries and I agree with you the issue is that one can't share perspective gained from the experience very effectively.

It would be great to be able to share with that kid some of the perspective learned traveling and meeting people living in poverty. It could mean the difference between life and death, but as you say it's very difficult to share that awareness.
What is an idea management software and why your business needs one
You forgot cost of living. Converting your numbers from Seattle to San Francisco: $203,000 with a base of $148,400.

I don't know what the extra $55,000 is. An expected bonus? Some rough guess regarding future value of stock options? Retirement fund matching? You didn't make the distinction for your friends.

Where I am, your standard of living can be had for $90,160 with a base of $65,910. The needed pay drops by about 38%, yet the likely salary drops by only 17%, meaning you'd be better off. It's like my dollars are almost 50% better than your dollars.

That is typical. Pay is generally higher in costly places, but it usually falls far short of the change in living costs.
Re old disney: I suppose you are thinking about Snow White and Cinderella. Note that the prince play a very small role, everything is about the journey of the girl.

Ah, but that's not quite how it works, either. There is a certain, small risk involved with being in the world, we can't offload responsibility for any small accident on to the shoulders of manufacturers. Yes, if you can show negligence, there's a case to be made, but you can't.

Unrequited love will make life hell and there is nothing you can do about it. But if you are pure of heart you may at least get eternal life when you die.

The story has some pretty strong religious themes, where her love for the prince is coupled with a longing for an eternal soul (which mer-people does not have). If she can make the prince love her, she will receive an eternal soul. In the end this does not happen and she kills herself, but the angels nevertheless grant her an eternal soul due to her selfless love.

The story is incredibly sad, and I find it strange when people blame Disney for bowdlerizing it. A faithful retelling would have been unwatchable and probably incomprehensible for a modern American audience.
If you're talking about Docker vs. fat binaries, you're missing the best part of Docker; container scheduling.

If it were just about isolation you could always tarball up some chroots in a very similar fashion to Docker. But it's not just about application delivery - it's about the whole process from development to production, code to ops.

Beyond that, I don't think I'm going to "regret" Docker. Yes it's overly complicated, has a bad track record, and so forth. So? It's the best option we have right now. Something better will probably emerge and we'll move to it. I was banking on rkt myself.

But until then, I'd rather get the best we have even if I know it could be better.
No details about the flaw => sounds like FUD scare tactics and a buddy-for-buddy advertisement for Signal.

When you fire up an app like Instagram, it does many things that create various drains on the battery. It opens the camera repeatedly when I don’t intend to use it, for instance. When you click stories, it opens the camera, often facing you. Who’s to say it doesn’t send that pic or some analysis of it to FB? I don’t think that would use any significantly higher battery or network anything especially since the processing and data transfer could be deferred.
> Most Unices have a folder called /usr/src [1] where sources are stored. When you want to build a package, you cd into it ( say 'cd /usr/src/make') and then say 'make && make install' and it builds and installs the packages to your /usr/bin.

This is the central problem of cryptcurrences based on bitcoin - people want trust, they want verified counter parties, they don’t want a currency just anonymous enough to make petty crime easy. That makes POW remarkably unsuited to a currency as it solves the wrong problems.

I've been using Docker on Windows for well over 2 years. It was certainly difficult setting it up on Windows in the old Docker Toolbox days (circa 2016), so perhaps the authors experience is from then.

Since the Docker for Windows client was released I've had no problems at all. (In the interest of full disclosure there were a couple of early beta issues that were quickly fixed, however that's to be expected).
I'm still trying to wrap my head around what Docker really is, and how/when I should use it.

Say, I have a JVM-based web application along with a database, like Play/Scala with some MySQL or H2. Is there any good reason to dockerize anything, or am I better off running them in bare form on a server?

The applications themselves (or the JVM as platform) should already act as a good enough abstraction from then underlying platform, right?
It doesn’t need to be constant or continual. I don’t talk continually near my phone, for one.

Siri and other voice rec is able to get words from my audio without appearing to affect my phone function or slow it down. There are plenty of times my phone is idle that it could be doing that.

Same with photos. When you give many apps access to your photos, as we know, they will analyze and/or transit the metadata of all photos on the device. It’s not hard to imagine going farther than that, and as noted, processing or data transfer could be deferred.
For sure - it's just that they do have a great presence in this category already. Ready-to-cook meals that are in an aluminum tray and only need to be shoved in the oven for 20 minutes.
