No, it's more akin to a unikernel[0].
Technically all kinds of processes will run in a container, but in a unikernel, there is really only one process.

I believe this kernel will similarly run a single ELF binary, but I believe it does do some memory mapping, potentially (I've only scanned it quickly, however).

This is exactly spot on. Two personal stories. I was flying out to CT for a couple of years, made a friend there at the dojo who gave me private "fight against a guy with a knife" lessons. Always money problems, always bitched how if he just had 10k to pay off his debt his life would change. After a year, I said eh, wtf, here's 15k as a gift. A year later he calls me up. I haven't been out his for over a year at that point, and we haven't talked in 6 months. "Dude, help, my truck was repoed." The dude paid off his 10k of debt, took the extra 5 as a downpayment on a 30k truck, and increased his monthly bills by a third. Idiot (me).

Another story - long time college buddy of mine is trying to start a club promotion business. I dump about 20k into it to help him get started. The guy has a bachelor's in graphic design, and a master's in marketing. Two years later, he's calling me up for cash. He blew through my money, blew through his money, and decided to move to california - no job set up, no money in the bank, no car. I helped him out again w/ another 5k - very good friend. I a year he calls me up, doesn't ask for cash. I'm living in Spain at this point, and he says he couldn't get it going in cali and is working as a bouncer at a club. Wants to move to Barcelona and try it there - again no job lined up, no connections, but hey - he speaks spanish.

idiots are idiots, and they'll keep giving losers money until they learn. haven't talked to either of these losers in 15 years.
I think a lot of my stress comes from the fact that, while I wouldn't have done anything differently, I had to put myself in the hole 60k or so to come out of the economic tar sands of being from nowhere, and doing some really dumb shit as a kid.

I think that people should both be free to make childish mistakes and still succeed(without putting themselves in the hole) and i also fear for a medical emergency that tosses me back in the hole outside of my own fault.

My only point is that I think healthcare and higher education are necessary to exist in the modern world, therefor they are a right, and our government - and tax payers - should provide these things to everyone.

Reading https://gitlab.com/sifoo/snigl, some examples of where you could lose readers by section:

- [sni`gel]: example is too deep a dive for a first dive without comments (a few lines “it also multi-threads easily. For example, here’s how to have two tasks write to @out in parallel and wait for both to complete” already would improve things a lot IMO)

- Evaluation: rotl ignores the top element on the stack, but rotr doesn’t? That would be quite surprising. Or do these work on the bottom 3 stack elements??? I also would switch names, given the tendency to show top of stack to the right in stack describing comments.

- Equality and identity has an example using !==, but doesn’t say what it does. I also would introduce != here (I assume it exists)

- functions: in the fib-tail example, explain why you don’t need a fib, and can call fib-tail with one argument on the stack instead.

- iterators: I would expect the sum of 0 through 7 to be 28 (“7 list” produces a list not including 7, I think)
I'm also curious on this, for those who are using it, are you using it as a primary datastore?
I finished my PhD in neuroscience, then went to work for a new biotech startup in the Bay Area. I did a mix of programming and chemistry automation there. Then I started a software company with a lifelong friend and after a couple years we found product market fit and it took off. We’re almost 100 people now.

The work I do now has nothing to do with neuroscience, but I have zero regrets about my PhD. It was a fascinating period for me and I view it as an adventure I did in my 20s. I loved the work I did and it didn’t need to lead into something else.

I agree with you. Pattern matching is detrimental to readability in this case. Everybody can understand your example above. The pattern matching one leaves me a little O_o (pun intended) despite I'm using pattern matching everyday in Elixir.

How Well Do We Understand Probabilities in Medicine? (2016)
I spent most of my life trying to be sure I didn't end up that way. It's a choice. It's not easy if you had no parental help, guidance or financial backing. But that was me. I have done it, mostly through sheer personality (persistence) and just-enough IQ points to put ideas into action. Some people would say it's because of the color of my skin, which I assure you no one gave a damn about when I've been interviewing nonstop for 6 months straight, 3-4 times a week (roughly half of those a 30minute-1hour commute across the city on public transportation), and getting some rather rude rejections. Many people wouldn't even do it, unless it was on a platter for them. They accept less, what's easy.

I've seen poor people, the middle class and wealthy alike end up living check to check. As my Depression-era grandmother always said, it's not what you earn, it's what you save. There's many ways to do that. You can work more, find a way to earn more while you do work, or spend less. I do all three to ensure I remain in the middle class, with a growing savings account.

Most people have fanciful dreams they never achieve, shooting a little high for their talents. My most important career goal has been to not make Walmart greeter my retirement plan. I'm doing everything I can. Tomorrow morning in effort to prevent that, I'm maxing out my yearly contribution to my Roth IRA, which I opened up alongside my 401K/rollover traditional IRA. So what was I doing before I saw this story show up on my Firefox Livemarks? Working on a SQL query, while my wife is out eating burgers with her mom. It requires dedication to stay afloat.

I know there's a lot of people here just like me. While I started on a Commodore128 and it's my passion (I know of many ways to make money, much easier), many people in this field found it because they simply wanted to improve their lives, which I admire. There's also some that didn't really earn their positions, carefully crafted and placed by their loving parents, and will have a lot of issue with my story, not fully understanding that it has been done and can be done from the bottom.

Most of us are dealt a mediocre hand. I remain steadfast in that living paycheck to paycheck is ultimately a choice. A poor one at that.

An education :) Two start ups after phd and postdoc. Liked academia but couldn't afford it with two young kids. Joined a well funded start up. Was great for the range of problems I got to engage with. Was eventually sold to a multinational and very quickly turned into a soul destroying journey into the abyss. So much dreadful politics and nastiness. Left for another start up and am enjoying it. Have been involved in more of the business side this time, which is also interesting (and maybe depressing). I think I like the early stages of making something new. Supporting production systems and generally being "in operations" isn't my cup of tea. Your experience may vary...

Mechanics have been known to get in and take off in planes before. But they can't land them. Knowing how the controls work and the mechanics of flight is good enough to get into the air, as the airplane will take off pretty much by itself. But landing is a whole 'nother story.

Downtown Detroit is kind of starting to seem like a Potemkin village. A lot of these “comeback” articles focus primarily on the development in a tiny portion of the city that honestly never declined that much to begin with, in comparison to everything else.

Crime and poverty are still insanely high. The school system is a tragic disaster. The majority of the urban area is still abandoned and blighted.

It’s really not a place to raise a family, unless you intentionally live separated from all the disfunction (private school etc) and then what’s the point?
A comeback implies that Detroit is just as relevant as it used to be. But its population and economy is much smaller than it was during the 50s?

I had a similar experience but with magnesium citrate, I think any organic salt of mg will likely help as they all have good uptake/absorption qualities, as opposed to mg oxide.

I have seen many doctors, including sleep specialists, regarding insomnia. They all pointed to one source as the reason for the sleep issues: stress. And they all wanted to put me on prescription sleeping pills. I said no to that. Sleeping pills are addictive and you have to take them for the rest of your life. As a software engineer, I am used to finding and fixing the underlying problem as opposed to the quickfixes these doctors were offering me.

After much research I figured out the underlying problem, and the fix for it. The underlying problem is magnesium deficiency. As a software developer I am using my brain more intensely than most people. This is the stress the doctors are talking about. Stress depletes magnesium. The cells in our body depend on two essential minerals for normal function: Calcium and magnesium. Cells go into ON state when calcium goes in, and OFF state when calcium goes out. Calcium doesn't go out on its own: magnesium has to go in and displace the calcium. When you are low on magnesium, cells can't go into OFF state. When that happens your muscles become stiff and you need massages, and your brain can't turn off and you can't sleep. The solution is magnesium supplements. This fixed my muscle stiffness issues and my sleep issues. A special compound of magnesium called magnesium l-threonate is especially helpful for sleep because it can penetrate the "blood brain barrier".

Scientific sources for this are hard to come by. I had to piece together all this from multiple sources. Here are some:

I think the idiot there refers to the author, not the readers. On the first page, he calls himself 'village idiot'.
Any language that has pattern matching looks similar. Much nicer than if/else/switch.
That seems naive at best. How can you even judge what is effective with out some sort of metric? Seems like it would lead to alot of wasted effort.

As an aside,usually the tools and techniques used to solve a well defined problem become pretty important. They lead to other well defined questions and then further objective progress.

I also think the major problems we face are reasonably well defined, for example climate change and emission targets. Even then we struggle to actually solve some of them. Being nebulous will just make progress harder.

What you're describing is exactly the situation that Mozilla has been in for the last decade or so, and I always feel a little uncomfortable about it. The vast majority of their income is from search deals with one or two vendors.
So I don't have a fixed good answer for any of these - what I'd like to see is that it's something the interviewee has thought about/read about. I'm also interested in how deep the knowledge goes, can they discuss these things? Have they tried other approaches and so on. That sort of thing is quite experience dependant, of course.

Possible good test answers (I'd expect maybe one or two - bonus points if you can talk about them as lived experience rather than text book)

Tests one thing/clear what causes a failure

Documents the code well

Describes the purpose of the code

Something about naming

Something about BDD

Something about arrange act assert

Something about how quickly it runs

Discussion of relative merits of unit, integration, e2e etc.

What's a Bad test answers...

Brittle (bonus if you mention this in relation to refactoring)

Asserting multiple things

Tautological

Very slow to run (with which I'd follow up with "any exceptions to this)

Plus you'll get lots of points if you bring up something I've not thought of before.

It is very clear over the last 3 years that Universities in AU+NZ+UK+USA are breeding camps for GLOBAL LEFT SOCIALISM , SJW , Vegans and Feminism so they can be offended over SCIENCE, FACTS, TRUTH and Reality
I agree, it’s really impressive. Sometimes it’s not only the software that matters, but also things like seeing potential for simplifying bureaucracy.

With that said I have huge amounts of respect for all the people (e.g. at Mozilla) who makes the CA system work.
I wouldn't attribute this entirely to "my kid vs not my kid". I live in a western country and it's typically lower socio-economic groups that split and recouple with really young kids (i.e <5). The most at-risk groups for violence in these early years tend to also have uncoupled parents who are constantly seeing new men.

If you split these statistics through 10th percentile socioeconomic groups I'm sure it wouldn't be as significant as 120 times. This paper is 10 years old and references Sweden as having less than a 10x increase.
I like to think about scifi stuff when I can't sleep and someone recommended audio books in one of the comments. There is a podcast by Isaac Arthur about science and futurism, and he provides narration only versions. Honestly this is a miracle for my sleep.

It's very interesting and because it doesn't have music and loud sounds it will not wake you up if you fell asleep.

>> Are your founders / leaders Engineers?

> Actually, yes. They wrote the software that is currently used in production.

> But they don't want to touch engineering with a ten-feet pole. One time they complained that engineering was taking too long to finish stuff and engineering demanded an apology.

Engineers can get very touchy about code they write. It's kind of their baby. It sounds like the highest levels of management have written what is being run, and yet not want to seem to maintain it, or directly lead the engineering org. Then they also want a great engineering team to improve what they've been doing, which inevitably ends up being ways that the initial implementation could have been done better. Sounds like a double bind for the employees. If an employee finds a much better way of doing things, the founders should be happy, but they may be sending mixed signals.

Another example is that when you've written a bunch of code, you are the expert. Anyone else working on it will be going slower, because they don't have the background that the initial author did.

If there are two sides, and one says that the code is too complex, and the other side says it's messy and unsafe I'm likely to believe both of them. For different parts of the code, you may need incremental improvement, or you may need to rewrite it. This is where you need real engineering leadership.

I know how opening a file affects the exclusivity of access but commonly applications don't seem to keep the file continuously open except during reading or writing. Maybe some Microsoft applications use that pattern extensively but it generally works to save a file in one program and then open it in another program without closing the file in the first program or quitting it.

Nevertheless, this is getting off topic as the thread started with the question of path vs handle access. I still don't see much value in this exclusivity in the latter case because if you have a conflict to begin with it's just a matter of Murphy's for that conflict to manifest in actually losing data.

Even if your editor keeps the file open for the whole day, and you have this second program that is on the trajectory to delete the file it will eventually get to it at a time when the file is not open and thus not protected by the guarantee of exclusive access.
I know over three engineers who left their companies because of the stringent bureaucracy expectations, filling out reports and the like. It was boring to them.

They all got new jobs within a week.

Unlike other positions, for engineers, it's the companies that are replaceable, not the employees.

Engineers are special whether we like it or not.
Nice! I think the resource management and accounting parts in OS might be a good fit. Access control definitely is a matrix.
”Are there any plans to run alternate free ACME CAs to prevent Let's Encrypt from becoming a single point of failure?”

This is an interesting question. Let’s Encrypt is built on openness and open source software, so it’s possible to ”clone” their service. However, it would require some funds to do so. (According to the article, they now operate on $3.6M/year.) So I can’t see that happening soon, not as long as Let’s Encrypt run their service in a trustworthy manner. But perhaps some entity would spin up a niched version. E.g. if a country would launch it’s own LE service for their citizens and domestic companies and organizations.

I'm continually surprised by how few apps and services there are for streamlining and automating as much as possible all of the various app store submission processes. As an app developer--especially in the games market--it seems obvious that you'd want to be in as many stores as possible. But there is clearly a lot of overhead in submitting apps to the long tail of all of the apps stores that are available. It's a high labor cost, especially for new entrants.
