Yep, it just takes a "NewHotApp(TM)" for the kids to migrate to there, forget about their facebook accounts, and their parents will follow in a couple of years.

Considering most younger people don't actively use facebook anymore, their (facebooks) only chance is to buy the NewHowApp company every couple of years (khm.. instagram.. khm,... whatsapp..)

Unfortunately I've not given thought to people with disabilities in this case. It's an oversight and that's on me.

I wonder if bots are smart enough to figure out aria-hidden="true". Possibly empty it out using javascript on submit. I would guess a bot not using CSS would also not be using javascript? Unsure, would need testing.

Ask HN: A good browser extension for capturing web transactions?
I'm trying to write a setup script that will automatically perform certain actions in a web application. I could obtain the necessary info through the developer console, but that means sieving through quite a large number of HTTP requests.

"Life finds a way" is probably one of the more important lessons to be had from sci-fi books/movies.

Edit: For the record, I am serious. I'm not saying that this isn't a good idea, but simply assuming the fungus won't evolve and attack new hosts is naive. It needs to be monitored and controlled very, very tightly. Imagine if it somehow started escaping and attacking the already strained bee population or something.
Docker containers provide seccomp, cgroups and more.

Yes, systemd unit files are containers, just like Docker.
You could use CSS to place label and checkbox visually close but completely unrelated in the DOM. Not great for accessibility, but better than the current situation.

rkt is basically dead and so is rktnetes.

However, docker internals have basically been replaced with containerd[0] in this point -- the two front runners in the battle to actually run your containers (and power higher level abstraction tools like docker) are containerd[0] and cri-o[1].

I personally prefer containerd, but there are a lot of people who are obsessed with cri-o (big company backers, from what I can remember), despite the fact that it's chronically behind on features (for example alternate runtimes, runtimeClass support), but they're both excellent.

Note that there are also other projects like podman[2] that also aim to serve as docker replacements.

Discussion on containerd shim in docker can be found on google group[3] way back in 2016.

The article just quotes the news about MapR and then asserts the same will happen with Docker. That may be true, but there’s no evidence here.
Actions don't occur in a vacuum. If enough companies followed suit, the social conversations in media, between people, and between organizations can change enough to act as a lever for larger social changes.

Lunch counter sit-ins didn't immediately "reduce" the actual local laws that banned black people from sitting in the restaurants... but the protest and counter-protests happened, and the famous pic of the white mob pouring drinks on the peaceful black diners helped inspire social action that led to the Civil Rights Act.
This. A prior employer spent millions on a Cloudera install that had 5 worker nodes and was being used to service a bunch of generic jobs.

Worse still, it didn’t even use HDFS and we eventually got sick of the crappy embedded Zookeeper/Kafka setup.
Can confirm, being also a (not-that-young-anymore) German. Scam calls or phone marketing is very seldom here. I always assumed this is due to strict laws in Germany.

Another thing is also that most people I know no more publish their telephone number in a (public) phone book, as it used to be still common 30 years ago. That's something where you easily can grab tons of private information from. How common are phone books in the US?
The biggest realization for me was that this system is an inverse funnel and as we move towards the top, the advantage of your gifts are diminished.

This made me dropout from the academics and do something little of my own which I felt better in doing and I continued at my pace, didn't worry about competitors etc..and it turned out quite well than my student self who wanted to be ahead at any cost.

I was brought up in an environment where everyone told me I am better than others around me, this made me put more and more work untill I couldn't.

Now, I don't believe I am better than others, nor I want to compete with others.

Wrong. Think scaling, Docker will allow me to take a 3rd party app, containerize it and place it in an on prem cloud. I can use the containers for DR or migrating infrastructure. It solves a huge problem for Fortunes
Reasonable way to price things when neither the seller nor buyer are under duress is to for them to an agreement. It doesn’t matter if it’s % of revenue or flat, if they both came to an agreement, then it’s reasonable.

I wouldn't worry about resources being finite. There's a nice negative feedback loop. The less we have of them left, the higher the price and more incentive to develop alternative solutions.

I have no idea about environmental impact of mining these.
Love the idea! I'm finding a bug in Firefox, though. At least on the backtracking examples, when running them, the board section starts expanding vertically until the console and the positions sections completely disappear.
Note that I wasn’t arguing that Intel had switched from one textbook architecture to another: only that it isn’t really an accurate way to discuss modern chips after decades of large teams of smart people have been borrowing each other’s ideas.

As to your specific example, ARM has instructions which do complex operations as well. Does that mean it’s not a RISC CPU, or just that some engineers made a pragmatic decision to support things which are done heavily like AES or SHA?
Now those are some strong claims to be backed with some nice fat sources.

It does not need to be! You can just also just use "fd README.md". Admittedly, the "." will actually search for any character (regex), so if you want to be precise, you need to escape it.

Be very careful how you do this, unless you want to exclude blind users. I've seen a blind user have an online form silently fail at them because they filled in a field that wasn't visible. Using display:none applied indirectly via CSS is probably reasonably effective against bots and won't interfere with screen-readers.
We can delay heart disease, cancer, and strokes, but not prevent the deaths. Those 1e6 numbers aren’t moving very far.

I assume you’re calculating the tail risk of terrorism based on backtesting, and ignoring the fact that preventing terrorism is a disproportionately high priority of the governments of the world. The extent and scope of measures taken cannot be ignored when talking about the impact.

Yes global warming has tail risk; it doesn’t show up in this analysis because it isn’t causing deaths, but I think the level of coverage is pretty high considering the low death toll.

Similarly nuclear war - especially during the Cold War, thermonuclear weapons had killed fewer people than falling pianos, yet for some reason was very high on people’s mind.
I’m curious why I never see these kinds of articles going into how unions are bleeding the city dry. Union laborers wages are like 5 times more than other equivalent workers and they do 5 times less work because they know it’s basically impossible to fire them. A good amount of the transit union workers I know will be quite proud to tell you how they get paid a full day for doing 2 hours of work and then going home while their foreman will clock them out for a full 8 hours.

Icelake was never meant for the 10nm used in Cannonlake, it was a 10nm+ part. 2nd the shrink is there, at least according to what just announced ( or picture shown ) in Computex by counting how many die on Wafers. 3rd They are shipping it, we don't know yield but we know they are shipping it at least in decent quantities.

And 4th, 10nm is not dead, Intel is not skipping it for 7nm. Nokia is not dead either. And it doesn't matter how anyone spin it, SemiAccruate is like tabloid of Tech Report, and to ensure the quality of news I personally believe it should serve no role on HN.
I'm glad it's worked for one of us at least.
I am very much a fan of hot-takes, but this one is trash --

> The money was wasted on hype. The same will eventually be said of Docker. I’ve yet to hear a single benefit attributed to Docker that isn’t also true of other VMs, but standard VMs allow the use of standard operating systems that solved all the hard problems decades ago, whereas Docker is struggling to solve those problems today.

Linux containerization (using the word "docker" for everything isn't right either) is an isolation + sandboxing mechanism, NOT a virtual machine. Even if you talk about things like LXC (orchestrated by LXD), that's basically just the addition of the user namespacing feature. A docker container is not a VM, it is a regular process, isolated with the use of cgroups and namespaces, possibly protected (like any other process) with selinux/apparmor/etc.

Containerization is almost objectively a better way of running applications -- there's only one question, do you want your process to be isolated, or not. All the other stuff (using Dockerfiles, pulling images, the ease of running languages that require their own interpreters since you package the filesystem) is on top of this basic value propostion.

An easy way to tell that someone doesn't know what they're talking about when speaking about containerization is if they call it a VM (and don't qualify/note that they're being fast and loose with terminology).

All this said -- I do think Docker will die, and it should die because Docker is no longer the only game in town for reasonably managing (see: podman,crictl) and running containers (see: containerd/cri-o, libcontainer which turned into runc) .

[EDIT] - I want to point out that I do not mean the Docker the company or Docker the project will "die" -- they have done amazing things for the community and development as a whole that will literally go down in history as a paradigm shift. What I should have written was that "docker <x>" where x is "image", "container", "registry", etc should be replaced by "container <x>".
Not sure why you're being downvoted.

Colonization, was brutal, self-serving, and its economic consequences are still felt to this day (especially when neocolonialism through private corporations and puppet governments is still a thing).
"The less we have of it left, the higher the price and more incentive to develop alternative solutions."

Does not work like this for oil. The price the most people can pay for gas is very limited. The people who say we will never run out of oil are correct. We will indeed never run out of oil. Most of the oil that is still left in the ground will likely stay there.

In the case of this article, the reporter should keep separate "digital identities" for people whom she want's to know her affiliation and those who don't. The main mistake there was that she used her "burner number" for ordering a taxi, when it should have been used just for these contacts.
They're comparable in the sense that neither technology had enough market demand to sustain the companies attempting to sell products. Great tech that we all benefit from, but the monetizable bits were not worth the investment.

Then again it's called venture capital for a reason so this isn't exactly unexpected. The question should really be more about the scale and hype that was involved.
Well when I went to work on a startup where everybody was smarter than me, I found I had won and found my place. I guess seeing the cup half full helped from that point on ?

My kid just got into the the local youth symphony (tough competition), and as I explain to her, every kid in that symphony is probably 1st chair in their school, and now one of you will be last chair.

You can be smarter than 99% of the people around you, and there are still 60M people in the world smarter than you.

Maybe you really are not “gifted”. Must be a western thing. My two examples above have a large percentage of Asian students. After reading the “Tiger Mom” book, there certainly wasn’t any coddling in that child rearing.

I've become very skeptical of anyone who puts a combination of buzzwords and pseudo-numbers in their resume.
There's also CitusDB, which performs much better than Hadoop because it doesn't have the bloat of the JVM or the inefficiency of brain-dead HDFS. You can write your queries in a few lines of SQL rather than reams of convoluted Java code.
The previous magic bullet against Malaria was called Dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane, commonly known as DDT.

DDT worked very well, initially, but its effects and consequences were intractable and long-term. It's still deployed to various degrees of effectiveness, but usage is far more complex than the initial promise of getting rid of Malaria.

A GM fungus 99% kill rate sounds good, but for insect populations that might not be enough. You likely can't use it again to kill 99% of the 1% left, and so on.

DDT is a chemical. You can stop using it to mitigate some of the unforeseen side effects. How can one retrieve or stop GM fungi in the wild? What patterns of resistance will emerge?

With DDT we got "lucky". It turned out to be overall effective when combined with guidelines and different approaches, but it never rooted out malaria completely by itself in one fell swoop.

Creating natural enemies of a pest by genetic modification is a valid approach, but not something to deploy wide-scale at the first hint of success.

Yes, it’s more than zero but you have to look at that as part of the entire chip budget. For example, this USENIX paper estimates 3-10% on power:

https://www.usenix.org/system/files/conference/cooldc16/cool...

That’s not nothing but usually when people talk about this the rhetoric assume it’s much greater and that e.g. ARM doesn’t have similar issues supporting its older instructions, albeit at smaller scale. If you look at the results, and a couple decades where everyone else was struggling to match X86 on either performance or non-embedded power efficiency, it clearly wasn’t holding them back that much. Even Intel’s huge moon-shot clean architecture failed to outperform despite starting with considerable experience and no legacy baggage.

The main parts of this judgement were very unsurprising. It is very well established in EU law that a higher national court can not order a lower court to withdraw a reference for a preliminary ruling from the Court of Justice of the European Union.

EU law normally override EU member state national law. The EU court is the final interpreter on EU law.

The thinking about lower courts unappealable ability to ask the EU court for what the EU law is, that a higher or highest national courts should never be able to suppress a question from reaching the EU court.

Hence, if the Supreme Court in a member state would give a final ruling on a topic, any lower court that thinks the Supreme Court were wrong on points of EU law, may always in a following case ask the EU court for final guidance on what EU law actually means (instead of just following the Supreme Court ruling). The Supreme Court would in that instance have no means of preventing that from happening.
So that they can refer the matters to the CJEU; although not in it's entirety, it is a procedural move to get all the parties (including Schrems) and their complaints / evidence in front of the CJEU to resolve matters that the Irish DPC feels they aren't in a position to or aren't willing to rule on.
Wait, what problem does Hadoop solve?? Hadoop is an extremely poor reimplementation of some Google services. The time when billions went into Hadoop startups even Google stopped using MapReduce because it turned out to be inefficient and very limited to many of the distributed computational problems. MR was extremely well suited for a single thing: aggregating web logs and computing very simple summary statistics. What is the hard problem you mentioned?

Btw. there are many very successful startups in the big data space that understood the limitation of Hadoop and addressed almost every if not all aspects of its shortcomings. A good example would be Snowflake computing.
It's not the money. The extensions would have to be ported over to Swift or Objective-C. Complete rewrite of what was JS code previously

The referenced comment rehashes the evils of Ballmer's Microsoft which Nadella has mostly corrected. Satya Nadella has embraced (but not extended!) Open Source. Their Azure strategy puts all platforms on a level playing field - yet has also made Azure an incredible place to make Windows/Microsoft technologies shine. It's a great place for all apps.

Yes, they control Office and are the defacto office document standard. What they do with Office now is affordable and ubiquitous. No other office document suite can do this. They are a for-profit company, and Office serves their customers very well. Yes, in Ballmer's days this wan't the case, but today you can run Office (365/Cloud) on a Chromebook and on Android and iPhone as supported apps.
One trick is to find two things you are reasonably gifted at and you're more likely to be remarkable if you work in the area where those two things meet.

For example, if you're an 80th %ile programmer and 80th %ile automotive mechanic, there is surely a niche that connects the two where you would perhaps be 95 %ile merely by how unusual it is to being good at both things.

From what I understand, that was some kind of mechanism to get their case in front of the court. They can't ask the ECJ directly, so they bring a case to a court that can. With Facebook and Schrems both being part of the case, they get to present their arguments to the court.
