Why not use Docker?

I like the concept of decoupling storage from the editor app. I wish more SAAS providers recognized this as an important product feature. It would allow deployment of hosted services in much wider range of scenarios, where privacy and data ownership is a big concern.
IMO this is why Chromebooks are taking over education.
Competitive coding signals that:
* you can read (understand requirements)
* visualise problem space
* modify problem space
* efficiently prune problem space is search of solution
* have good understanding of DS and alorithms
* command computer to help you finding solutions

I would say competitive programming is much more about math than software engineering.

I would say all these skills are useful to be good SE but you also need:
* good code organisation
* very good semantics skills (domain modeling, naming)
* debugging skills (correlated to problem solving)
* conversation skills (posing precise questions and answers)
* beeing comfortable with ambiguity and change of requirements (especially startups)
* being able to work with/fix shitty abstractions that less(sometimes "more") skilled people come up with

For average job even CS degree is overskill.
As a jew, I can't decide which one is more offensive: The dumb Antisemitic suggestions from Bing, or Jew Jitsu being the top autocompletion on Chrome. Hey Google! There are 14M of us, give some credit.
Quote of the day website
The analogy isn't used correctly : BSD was initially a codebase clone of UNIX, in other words, BSD is a fork.

GNU/Linux was initially developed from scratch to behave like UNIX to a certain extent (hence the name "Unix-like"). In other words, it's a rewrite inspired from a model.
maintainers don't see any value in POSIX

The problem is that POSIX only provides a tiny subset of the API surface that an application might need today. Just to give two random examples: how can an application inhibit system sleep or use a webcam? The best one often can do is rely on some widely-used library and hope that they (will continue to) support multiple platforms.

But where is SunOS today?

Comparing apples and oranges. For a large part of its lifetime, SunOS was a proprietary UNIX that only worked with Sun hardware. If we include SunOS 5/Solaris, they open sourced Solaris way after Linux already had a stronghold in the market.

Linux is now so dominant in mobile phones, servers, network devices, and IoT, that even it will take much longer to disappear than SunOS.
My naive perspective is not that software engineers should forsake iteration; rather that their tests / simulations have to be "out of this world". After all, the software is still written by taking real world constraints and models and then applying them in software. Anything you are counting on software to do properly should be testable, up to a point, in a virtual environment.

I get that Hawking's work is incredible and that he, himself, is an amazing person. But is his work really worth putting him on the same pedestal as Newton?
> If you want to maximize the chance that your software will compile and execute correctly on a Linux distro 5+ years from now, a good first step is making sure it builds and runs natively on some of the BSDs.

Like everything, this is a trade-off: what you are advocating is that people use a more or less frozen sub-set of features, and avoid improvements that are already de-facto standard.

I looked at what would happen if my employer standardised shell scripting on "sh", rather than "bash", and quickly concluded that it was a bad tradeoff for us: Bash is, has has been, the standard shell in every place that we would want to run non-trivial shell scripts: if we ran Alpine Linux containers, we could just treat those as a special case.

Well there are a few crucial differences - ISIS started as an illegitimate foreign combatant organization and later a defacto nation denied recognition due to both usurping existing ones and being egregiously horrible that no would acknowledge them essentially. They were outside due process because they weren't subject to US laws in the first place. And if they were they would unquestionably be guilty of sedition. The legitimacy of a takedown is thus clear.

Meanwhile while horrible the propaganda organizations stay within the law technically - accusing George Soros of creating AIDS would be a civil matter that is hard to prove. Going against due process is a major taboo for a reason - Al Capone was known for what he was for quite a while but they could only prove tax evasion to put him away. Not to mention pragmatic "the Devil and Daniel Webster" reasons for this. Any measures that could give shortcuts against propaganda can be used against anyone who reports inconvenient facts.
Surely they're doing some verification to ensure that either the redirect lands on the advertised TLD, or alternatively that you're at least "in control" of the TLD you're advertising as (similar to GAnalytics verification -- via meta tag, DNS txt entry, etc)?
You should be aware that FullContact is known to sell customers data.

I didn’t know that either and have tried the iOS App once but did not upload anything to them, I just wanted to see what the App could do/how it feels like. Then I read their Privacy Police and ToS and did some searching. I very quickly decided that this is not a service I’d want to use.

So I send them a GDPR request demanding the deletion of my account and all associated data.
They replied back that I had to use their ‘Privacy Center’ to do that myself. Horrible site, let me tell you.. Anyways, I noticed that in their Privacy Policy they state that they won’t delete your data even if you request that. They’ll just flag it as blocked. So in theory once you upload something to FullContact you have no chance of getting it off of their servers. They claim that this is to ‘protect you’ and to ‘ensure that your data won’t accidentally land back on their system’ somehow.

I had to send them a very stern email threatening legal action and mentioning some personal contacts I have to some federal law enforcement officer who works privacy cases to even get an answer that was more than ‘please use our privacy center to delete your data/account’.

Finally I got back some generic email stating that all my data was deleted. Some canned response thing though. I highly suspect that they still have my data on their system.

I highly suggest not to use the service of FullContact!

Add to this Uber Eats and Deliveroo. Here in London they are very popular, and most drivers use mopeds, which require very little training to get a license. I regularly see them driving through red lights, speeding, driving dangerously in general, and parking where they shouldn't.
Yes, what makes society possible is 99% spontaneous respect of the rules, and 1% enforcement. It's better that way.

I was thinking the same thing. Does this technology offers anything more than AR? It seems the answer is no, unless you really don't want any glasses on your face.
That sounds too altruistic to me, if you put it like that. I assume you don’t let anger bottle up inside of you and find ways to equalize the pressure without hurting yourself. Then this book is not for you.

I had issues with that, so the book taught me to allow myself to be angry, deciding at one point that there was enough anger and being free from it.

That’s far from forgiveness which needs to be earned by the wrongdoers. Not gifted by the victim after reading a book.
UNIX is a trademark, so you may not call something UNIX unless you are allowed to use that trademark (which costs several 100k USDs to get certified). Apple paid that price for macOS, so (certain versions of) macOS are UNIX.

macOS has a marketshare in server market segment of around 0% (client of around 5%, iOS substantial though), and Linux is the defacto standard in that area. Which OS do people learn nowadays? Linux distributions. So it makes sense to see it from that PoV. Because chances are that you're going to use that defacto standard. And even if you prefer UNIX(tm) or BSD or Solaris you'd rather use Linux than Windows or OpenVMS. Cause the latter are aliens from outer space.
Not the main point of the article, so off topic, but isn’t “underage children” a pleonasm? Or is it a term that respects that we are all someone’s child, so also when we reach adulthood?

The term seems to suggest there is an age from which it is acceptable for children to receive sexual attention from adults. I prefer to think that there is no such age. Most people would probably agree with this.

Pleonasms are very common; “your personal belongings” is a funny one. In the case of ‘underage children’ though, it undermines the message.

Try buying a Nest camera and NOT buying their "Nest Aware" subscription. You'll be stuck with a massive bar on the bottom of your camera web views -- cannot be dismissed:
https://imgur.com/a/iR5C9bH

Their support team responds to (numerous) requests from multiple users about it saying roughly "cannot be disabled without buying but we'll let engineering dept. know you want that". Yeah, right, like it's an engineering problem.

Worse yet -- if you have >1 Nest camera, and you DO pay for Nest Aware on some but not all of them, the banner still shows up on any camera views you aren't subscribing for.

It's really crappy because the bottom bar is a fixed height, so if you shrink the browser window it can easily take up >=50% of your viewport. Absolutely absurd -- only option once you have their hardware is to use a plugin/bookmarklet to kill the nag bar's CSS. =(
+1 here. I switched to Bing back in April when a Google algorithm update really trashed Google's results for me (it felt like I'd suddenly gone back to the days of Altavista & HotBot). At first my switch to Bing was out of spite, but 6 months later I'm still using Bing & I love it. I really like how it breaks out code snippets for StackOverflow results, for instance.

So it's frustrating to see Bing hurt their reputation with something as stupid as this. If Microsoft want more people to switch, they've got to be at 100% in all areas, they can't afford to let Bing Ads ruin the whole service.

>rather that their tests / simulations have to be "out of this world".

Formal verification far exceeds testing as know to mainstream software development.

And in addition to it, some "sanity tests" are preferably to be done just to have an assurance that your are not verifying the wrong thing. I heard of few cases when formally verified software failed despite devs being religiously zealous with it.

One on my mind was of oxygen sensor wired to ADC, and ADC was able to measure negative voltage... Thus it was keeping the fuel injector running for the negative amount of time... You can imagine the following sequence of events.
>> When I talk about capitalism, I mean private business.

It's interesting that what we call a 'public corporation' today isn't actually public at all - I'm pretty sure that Richard Stallman considers public corporations as being 'private business'.

A big problem with so-called public corporations is that there is not enough fluidity in terms of ownership for them to be called 'public'. The majority of shares move between a very small percentage of wealthy investors which represent an even smaller percentage of the general public.

It would be good to see a capitalist system where there is more fluidity over the ownership of shares of companies. Also, it would be nice to see public companies release all their code in the public domain under the GPL license.

I think that cryptocurrencies could make these things possible because they solve the financial incentive problem which has plagued free software. I think that it's now possible to create free software in the public domain in such a way that people can profit from it significantly but not in quite the same permanent way as we're used to with shares of corporations.
Oh, a "friend" at work, huh?
Because nobody but someone who's worked in the business is likely to use or know what a butt-set is.

Hey, these days, if you say you want to show a new phone guy your butt-set, he thinks your gay and hitting on him, crazy!

One service tech complained to his boss about me, who later told me (small town) that he had to explain to the guy what a butt-set was and that I wasn't hitting on him, I was just making small talk.
Not "JS vulnerabilities", but things that waste memory & cpu cycles and in worst case exploit your PC for things like bitcoin mining.

Also consider that most browser vulnerabilities -- not "JS vulnerabilities" -- are virtually impossible to exploit without JS.
There's an interesting link to an analysis an (unaffiliated?) economist that suggests the study's methodology is flawed, in that it doesn't properly account for the simultaneous drop in gasoline prices (known to increase driving and therefore traffic deaths) as well as being unable to explain rises in death rates in both urban and rural areas (because Uber/Lyft are primarily urban)

This is not a very clever point. Plenty of things used to be caller "somethingnet" in order to advertise their ties with the internet. It was never about a tld. Kind of like how having "block" or "chain" in your app's name makes you "cool" nowadays.
Based on mailing lists I read, some of those 5 people who RMS single handedly was keeping up with were kind of pissed off about that framing a long after. Kind of ... disagreed. He did not done the same amount of work as them, meaning work on other projects, prototyping, design work etc, through it is true that he could more or less copy functionality of the thing plus minus bugs. Designing it and trying out various ways how to do the thing takes more time then copying the project. I am fully confident in that, because I was porting a couple of projects in the past so I know how much time is saved.

Aside everything else, self-glorifying stories about heroic saviors who are single so much better then second smartest person in a room should be treated with suspicion - and it is completely puzzling to me that some people are believed them so easily. Because really, for me to believe in that much of an unusual hero, I would like to have confirmations from other primary sources then just said hero and people who worship him. (That is not to say that he is incapable on the other extreme, absolutely not. But you can be extremely good and still not the god this story is about.)

> accelerometers being put upside down

This is a design problem. It should not be possible to install them in the wrong orientation. So many disastrous problems in aerospace result from crossed connections and things installed backwards that a lot of effort is put into making this impossible.

For example:

1. having asymmetric bolt patterns

2. having one of the bolts being a different size/thread

3. having a package shape that won't fit any way but the right way

4. have arrows on the package

5. color-coding the ends

6. etc.
Genetic Algorithms are pretty creative. I think a bigger problem is that we have no general way to turn “what we want” into a mathematically formalised goal that an AI can work towards — we can only manage specific cases like “how many components does this signal generator circuit use” or “make a new face based on these examples of faces”.
Why? They're not compatible and not a drop-in replacement.

They're also likely a little bit slower, especially on large datasets. It's really hard to beat GNU grep. (Which is famously 3 cycles/byte in the trivial case. Great exercise though.) But for the most part performance is secondary to feature partity.
Where should I mail the archive?
First, a nursery rhyme is for kids so if it only "rhymes" on paper, then it's going to be missed by the audience (and it's only a rhyme in a metaphorical sense anyway). Besides that, square and year don't rhyme either when spoken or written. Further, while November and September may technically rhyme, they don't sound very rhymey to me. Maybe just because the -ber ending is so common in months and the part of the words that differ are three syllables back.

If you can only install an app without hassle with Docker, it's a really bad sign.

I'm not against Docker, I run a whole cluster of Docker hosts as my job, but touting it as a solution to a hard install for a _php app_ is crazy.

Besides: You're cutting a whole lot of people off because this is apparently not installable on regular shared hosting, etc. Running a Container is even less of an option for these people. And then their only option is to use their hosted version, having to trust them.

Also: Running a Docker Container again requires me to add additional config, be it via labeling (when using reverse proxy with SD, e.g. traefik), or setting up a new nginx config file for that. No benefit in reality.

I'm not against having an additional Docker Image (I like those!) but these should only be considered a option for people who are looking for a Docker image explicitly.

There is a debate whether nonsexualized images of minors (e.g., toddlers playing in baths, which is mentioned in the linked article) actually constitutes child pornography. Jurisdictions vary about their interpretation, hence "borderline".

I don't feel the need to define this so precisely in my original post because it distracts from my main point, which is that Bing is not only not filtering hate material but also stuff that many would generally agree fall under adult content.

I will not respond to any replies to this post because I will assume that further argument is in bad faith aimed at obscuring my main point.

IMVHO anyone must know the tools of their trade (I do not know if this make sense in English, hope so, maybe also expressed as "the tools used for doing their job"). If today statistic is done with computers good computers tools must be known. Newcomers of course can't know by genetic, they have to learn and universities must teach them so...

Consider that org-mode itself was designed, written and still maintained by an astronomer, one of the most ancient and widespread completion framework for Emacs (Helm) was written and still maintained by a mounting guide that still be a mounting/climbing guide. Of course they are "exception" but they are simply people who encounter "the right tool" at a certain point in time and start to learn it.

On GitHub, for me as any proprietary platform should be ignored, at maximum used to share git repos, certainly not for PR&c that are proprietary unportable stuff. And that's another thing anyone that use a computer for more than play a game MUST know, from office guys with their email only on webmail and smartphones user with their "valuable" personal data (photos, video etc) to IT pro.

That's not really what he said.

His theory is that in order to avoid dealing with various mental and emotional issues, we unconsciously stress parts or our body until it causes pain. We unconsciously exacerbate this physical pain to literally distract ourselves from emotional pain.

Once this is pointed out to you then you may notice the process, making it conscious, which then allows you to consciously stop whatever you are doing that results in pain.
I would say no. Reading involves more use of one's imagination. Certainly, there are books that can easily put me to sleep after a few sentences. But when I'm reading my favorite genre (mysteries), my imagination is constantly at work. I cast the characters in my head using real-life actors and actresses, and a movie begins playing in my mind. That's the power of a good author.
Makes me wonder how long the fix will last, though.
