Docker is a wrapper on top of kernel containers in the same way that Emacs is a wrapper on top of the kernel filesystem API.

I've written a 150-line container manager in shell before (because we had a use case where both Docker was not the right technical fit out of the box and the organization had barely any operational experience with even normal use of Docker), and it's great that containers are built into the kernel and you can just use unshare and a bunch of bind mounts if you'd like, but Docker is its own quite substantial product and brings its own approach to building systems (Dockerfiles, container networking, etc.) that aren't implied by or required by the kernel API.
Show HN: A searchable collection of OSS projects w/ metrics that matter
I misread the parent comment. That said, I’m curious how you’d apply an automatic teriff? Who would enforce it?
Creator here. I made this after looking for an open source project to start contributing to in order to improve my skills. While GitHub lets you find new projects by language or stars, it doesn't make it easy to find projects according to other important factors like whether my first pull request is likely to be accepted or even looked at and whether it's more for full-time contributors or evenings and weekenders.

So I made SourceSort to make this easier. Most of the data comes from extra analysis on top of the GitHub API, and some of it's manual labor. There are a few hundred projects on there now and I'll be adding some more soon.

Let me know if you have any questions and I'd love to hear more ideas on what other metrics I should add.
>> Does that not make you feel something?

No

>>But you’re profiting off of the sins committed in the past, and somebody else is paying for them.

I do not believe I am, not in the way you are implying. You have no idea what my family history is, or what indivual actions they took, instead you are imparting these historical sins upon me because I may be a part of a nation today or may have part of a race in my genetic make up that may or may not committed what in modern context we call "sins" when we look back upon history through our modern eyes

It also makes many many assumptions about what the state of those nations would have been with out "interference" from the west, Assumption I do not believe you can accurately make

The further back in history you go the worse those assumption get as well.

> We know because hundreds of people died in the airframe.

Since both crashes were caused by malfunctioning software, this doesn't tell you anything about the fundamental soundness of the airframe.

> We know the MCAS was a workaround to an aerodynamics problem

MCAS was a workaround to make the plane handle more like a 737. The existing handling was fine by itself (not 'fundamentally flawed'), it just didn't match the 737.

> How do you argue what they did and are continuing to do is just in this situation?

I don't see where I did that. I just don't think there is any evidence that the airframe is actually fundamentally unsafe.

No, just no.

First of all, however much you do or don't trust your VPN provider, it's almost certainly a million times more trustworthy than Comcast/CenturyLink/Verizon/whatever. Most consumers have one or perhaps two broadband providers, but there are countless VPN providers and many, especially the ones you pay an honest rate, have a far more honest business model than your ISP.

Second, the security threats of your local wifi network and the backend your VPN connects to are not the same. They both have threats, but very different ones and the trade-offs are not equal.

It's probably worth saying you should only use a VPN from a reputable company that derives income only from its paying users. It's true that they don't provide you total anonymity, but that was never the point.

Most of all, if you want network neutrality, use a VPN. Then all your traffic over your ISP is the same and they can't do any deep packet inspection.

> Absolutely, they are because the people who vote them in are as well.

That's too simplistic.

I get a choice of the red team, or the blue team, neither of whom are much better than each other in this regard, but actually have a chance of being elected.

I can vote for the yellow or green teams, but they haven't a hope in hell of forming a government. Maybe they'll soon be able to carry the balance of power. Not soon enough for me, so...

Who do I vote for?

Yet electors (in the UK) poll as seeing climate as more important than Brexit (66% IIRC), and that government should be taking far more substantial action, and across the political divide. n.b. Just about no one voted Cameron in to get a Brexit referendum - that was Tory internal shenanigans to manage their extreme fringe, and a fairly fringe issue until it got blown out of proportion. That fringe are now running the country, unelected, without manifesto. Or other countries where they elect whoever because the alternative made themselves unelectable, was too arrogant, complacent, or there was a scandal, etc.

Hence the point about we are where we are - we can only start from there. Events will increasingly force the issue, regardless of the excuse(s) the business or politician wants to hide behind.
So, basically, he's very smart.

After looking at various sources I still don't understand whether the manual mode landing was a necessity because:

- of the computer overload due to the command module (CM) rendezvous radar being turned on -> which in turn leading to a messy command queue -> commands being dropped from the queue being filled -> commands being sent out-of-sequence -> undefined behavior -> the LM getting of path to the wrong landing region

- of a stone field after an otherwise nominally controlled descent.

In addition it seems unclear whether during manual flight control mode there was still any computer control for attitude, rate of decent etc. active.
It‘s very bureaucratic starting a company here. You will need much time.
This is certainly true if you are used to clojure.

But interestingly enough, idiomatic common lisp code can be roughly play in the same field as Python in terms of "purity". Also, lot's of scheme code is almost imperative in nature, if you look at it from the perspective of a Clojure or Haskell programmer. This is why Paul Graham once gave the advice to use Python if you cannot use Common Lisp.

I think Richard P. Gabriel wrote a "complaint" about functional programming being redefined by the research/types/ML crowd (he wasn't so much complaining about them striving for purer FP, but for taking over the conferences, etc. driving out the more traditional FP traditions from the lisp communities).

Anyways, what I wanted to say is: FP is fairly broad as a topic, a lot can fall under it or out of it depending where you draw the line. That's not a bad thing and there is space for mutable lisps.

The other aspect is: If you have Python, there is not much to gain from s-expressions alone. sure you get macros, but otherwise you already have a lot of the benefits you get from Lisp over let's say C++ (dynamic typing).

> There is no way that world politicians and governments are going to move in time to prevent this, because it would take unpopular and easily attackable measures to prevent that.

I increasingly view demands for coordination as counterproductive. There will never be full consensus about anything.

Meanwhile, if e.g. California imposed a carbon tax on its own, would it destroy them? No, people wouldn't stop living in California just because it became more economical to install solar panels or buy a Nissan Leaf rather than a Toyota. And a market of even that size that went hard for fossil fuel alternatives would both show others that it can be done and create an economic advantage for itself by getting ahead of the curve and causing the companies implementing what must be the future for everyone as businesses inside their jurisdiction.

> If some government tries to heavily tax beef, there is going to be a riot, and those politicians would be putting a target on their backs for attacks by populists.

The answer is to make it revenue neutral and distribute the money as a cash dividend to the population. Then people whinge about the tax and love the credit and it cancels out across the population -- exactly cancels out, because that's what revenue neutral means. But you still get the consumer preference for things that don't destroy the world.

Okay, that's a reasonable complaint, but travel time is a distinct and separate issue from the point we were discussing, which was the need to transport paraphernalia of which nearly half was car-related in the first place.

Nevertheless, it's another example of cars creating the problems that they solve - this kind of disparity can only be caused by a terrible public transport infrastructure, which in turn is caused by inadequate funding, which is caused by lack of demand due to cars (and lobbying of course). In most places in Europe, bus+train is much faster than driving for long journeys, especially intercity. Trains can go at speeds than would be unsafe on roads, and don't have to worry about traffic jams, while buses are frequent and often get dedicated lanes in cities.

1. They were old-school publishing houses, that had a connection to some prominent academic or an academic society that decided they needed to start a journal.

2. The value proposition was that they were the only way to publish research. Libraries subscribed to them (or bought issues), and reading journals in a library was the major way academics learned of new research in their field, unless they learned of the research in a conference.

3. The Internet.

3b. The barriers to entry used to be needing to have access to a publishing house capable of duplicating issues, and having your journal be in major libraries (which is usually related to being related to a major academic or a academic society).

The barrier to entry today is due to papers published being a major benchmark using which the productivity of an academic is measured. Older, well-known journals that accept only a few papers are known as having a larger "impact-factor", which means that publishing in them is worth more to an academic.

3c. The business model is always selling subscriptions to libraries, mostly university libraries (but also regular ones and research outfits in industry). Once they don't actually print anything their costs are mostly administrative, so they're basically printing money. The decision maker are librarians, usually, but they get set a budget by whoever owns the library.

4. Because they own the major benchmark used to evaluate an academic career. If you are an academic and want to further your career (i.e., get a job, get tenure, get a grant), you have to publish in one of those journals. If you're another academic and you then want to read that research, you then have to have your library subscribed to that journal (or look it up and Sci-Hub).
True. But I do just the opposite. Even though they aren’t allowed to ask me if I am married, I go out of my way to mention off handedly that I am married. I want them to “discriminate” against me if they have the type of culture that expects people to work for 60 hours a week regularly.
Am I missing something? It seems it's just a "cute" octopus.
So, if I understand you correctly you'll be working on a contractual basis for a single client, full-time for a prolonged period of time.

This kind of arrangement indeed is quite likely to be classified as "bogus self-employment" by the German state pension system, no matter your legal setup. I wouldn't bother setting up a GmbH (private limited company) because it most likely won't help you anyway.

Unfortunately, there are no clear rules yet on when something is considered "bogus self-employment" and when it is not. However, there are some criteria for a setup to be more likely classified as "bogus self-employment" and other than the remote working part yours sounds more or less like the prototypical case.

The question remains, who would have to pay outstanding social security fees in that case. Usually it would be your employer. However, given that in your case they're in another jurisdiction social security might not be able to enforce that. Still, it might cause some trouble and costs for yourself (apart from the ethical issues that come with avoiding social security costs in such a manner).

The way remote employment (not consulting, which as you've mentioned, involves having multiple clients) could work relatively hassle-free in your case is your US employer setting up a company in Germany (a UG for example, which is a relatively cheap variation of the GmbH) and simply pay you from there, including taxes and social security like any other local employer.

> Adding computer redundancy won't fix single sensor screw up. Will they retrofit all planes with dual sensors?

There are already two sensors. There are also already two computers. Each computer is already connected to one (and only one) of the sensors. Therefore, making the software use both computers at the same time allows using both sensors at the same time, with no hardware changes.
I tried it out some time ago, but my view is that is too similar to clojure but also different in significant ways, making it a pain to remember the differences if you also happened to be working on clojure code. Being too similar but not the same can cause problems with programming language syntax.

The options aren't just give $10B to AWS, Oracle, IBM or Microsoft. The JEDI should have been a multi-award IDIQ (indefinite delivery indefinite quantity) contract. With a multi-award IDIQ the each task order issued under the IDIQ is competed for among the multiple vendors the IDIQ has been awarded to. It is actually fairly unusual that this type of IT services contract was not done as a multi-award IDIQ.

Having to compete for each task order is thought to reduce costs to the government. Of course having to compete each task brings its own additional costs which don't necessarily make the cost saving proposition true. The big benefit I see to this contract is that it helps prevent vendor lock-in. I don't worry about the next 10 years and $10B, but what happens after 10 years when the DoD is now locked in to proprietary AWS cloud features which make migrating to a different vendor technically and fiscally near impossible.
Academia runs heavily on prestige. The journals are valuable because they are prestigious and it is more beneficial to an academic's career to publish in a more prestigious journal than a less prestigious one.

Because the academics who publish in those journals get jobs at prestigious universities, every university needs to keep those journals in those libraries, because that's where all the highest profile researchers are publishing their articles. Anyone who wants to join that group also needs to compete to publish in those journals. It's a self-reinforcing cycle.
I agree to a point, but surely the news media can't be where all the signal is coming from, there's too many forums on the internet (like the chans, and now social media sites) with too many users.

This is not like the clojure is to java, it's only a syntax transformation, superficial.

Python doesn't implement a standard virtual machine. The best you could do is some kind of translation to CPython bytecode, which doesn't really buy you much (and loses compatibility with other Python implementations like PyPy).
