> Dealing with this complexity provides an opportunity for Docker as a brand that is trusted by developers.

As I developer I love docker as a tool, but definitely don't like or trust them as a company. One major problem I have is they require to log in to download docker.

If you like docker you probably like automating things such as installing programs. Don't try prohibiting this and make it a pain to get my development machine bootstrapped.

> The challenge, as always, is figuring out how to charge money for the right things so that Docker can capture more of the value it creates.

This is between you and the companies that you wish you could make money from. You need developers to be the ones who adopt it. If I would have ran into this login requirement the first time I tried using docker I wouldn't have downloaded it.

No, I'm laughing at memes and seeing pictures of friends that I can't be with.

No, I'm keeping in touch with colleagues and advertising my skills.

If you're using those services as you describe, you should stop now.
It's a lot like the HK riots which started as a movement against a law (the very kind of law Tiyip has been taken by) but ended up as a metro station burning game.

I'm in HK and a democrat, sure, but these angelic freedom fighting tales abroad are as misleading as the diabolical black hand rhetoric of the mainland media.

As most human movement, there's a gaussian distribution between two extremes, and the two extremes makes the most noise (because extreme noise brings shocked readers) while most ignore and live on.
I was responding to the “by whom”.

Reddit has a lot of that stuff and their geeky subreddits have the same amount of complaints of FB as HN. There likely is some overlap of users as well. And most likely overlap of the sort of users. There’s no standard being applied at reddit.

i love all the things an iphone has to offer. but on top i have the following three requirements.

1. need to reach all screen corners with one thumb: one-handed usage
2. be flat on all sides, don‘t fucking wobble: no bulges
3. i will touch it for interaction; don‘t look at me: touch id

now, looking at what apple serially delivers, these things are not impossible for them to achieve. the question is, why do they go the other way and try to sell me phones too slim to properly house the camera.

Software engineers are personally liable for their work. It's just that it's much more difficult to prove the various elements of negligence in the software realm, which makes litigation costly and uncertain. How negligent is an arithmetic overflow in a free software library that causes the loss of # of ads clicked for 10,000 Facebook users? Could the developer have foreseen the use case? What's the value of that loss?

An arithmetic bug in a flight safety system or financial trading platform? Your odds of being successfully sued just went up astronomically as it's much easier to show negligence and put a dollar figure to damages.

Professional licensing regimes are principally designed to prevent negligence by a priori preventing people from holding themselves out as capable of performing some task. In terms of legal liability all they really do is restrict the extent to which you can limit your liability contractually. That's important in business and in professional services (doctor, lawyer, etc), but for downstream users who suffer damages there was never a contract involved, anyhow.
Would 90hz use more battery? When they talked about the always-on watch screen, I think one of the things they said was it slowed down its refresh rate to 1 hz. I don't know anything about if that saves power, but maybe?
It is unfortunate that link didn't pursue non worst case scenarios, like being able to import some power, or have some non renewable generation used just enough that it was economic to exist at normal energy prices, with the biggest payoff being the avoided cost of energy storage for October and November.

that link is kind of unrealistically dismissive.
Skills Entrepreneurs Need in This Modern Age
Echoing a lot of other comments here. I can think I thrive on less than 8 hours of sleep, but I don't. I don't wake up to an alarm clock and feel rested and all that. But the reason I don't need the alarm clock is because I use my environment as an alarm clock. Once the combo of temperature and lighting hit a certain sweet spot, I'm up. If I want to sleep longer, I go to bed earlier so that the sweet spot is 8 hours out rather than 6 or less. If I allow myself, my sleep requirements is 8 hours.

I'm glad I'm not "gifted" and I wouldn't want a magic pill or treatment which would make me that way. We need 8 hours of sleep. If I'm smart enough, I can figure out how to make my day with 8 hours of sleep. I'm not smart enough to believe that getting by on less than 8 hours of sleep is a good thing regardless of how I feel or what technology can do for me.
No, Nothing like that. I was focusing only on the car part. Of course, the 15 kWH solar system in your home could power the entire home too, or be fed back into the grid, which many municipalities in India are accepting.

Since I was doing a costing analysis, I assumed the worst case possible.

Accounting for selling power to the grid when not in use, usage for home, etc, the cost advantage of an EV improves even more.
Laplace transforms, being essentially a more powerful superset of Fourier transforms, are awesome.

They also make calculus way easier, differential equations specifically. As an electrical engineer, I love me some Laplace transforms.

I saw and didn't really care for the dramatization. Without giving too much away, they changed the ending significantly in a way that was particularly non-PKDian.

From how they set up the training, I think this is a nontrivial task. Also, from a casual read through, it looks like it is generally focused on Arxiv papers.

To their credit, the authors included the models used and the metrics they used to validate their model. They also have detailed notes on the architecture for training which, at a quick glance, doesn't look easy to replicate unless you can borrow some GPU's in the cloud.

What are you counting as very small? They have 3-4 times the population of the like of Denmark, Belgium and Portugal. They're comparable with Spain and Poland, which few people would consider very small European countries.

> country that is suffering so much from having to maintain continent size infrastructure

This brings some challenges, but infrastructure doesn't scale 1:1 with the land area of a country, 99% of the infrastructure can be on 1% of the land area and serve most people. It's the urbanization level that matters, not the geography.

Really what Socrates is saying here is that the Socratic method is superior to book-learning. So even if he did say it, his reason wasn't totally unbiased.

There are many ways we learn things and they all have pros and cons. I can't believe someone as intelligent as Socrates would genuinely believe one shouldn't write or read to learn.
For me, it would be the phone replacing my laptop and tablet with docking stations or foldable screens and adaptative OS (like Samsung Dex). Phones are powerful enough to do that.
I also imagined a portable docking station with just a screen, maybe some battery and something to attach your phone to transform into a tablet.

The main reason is that I don't like managing different devices, installing different apps, using different OS, I just want to customize my working environment once.

That or having a single OS that works on different devices and synchronizes cleverly every settings, installed apps configuration in the cloud and adapt them to the device.

You replies have been nothing but low-effort ad hominem accusations. My replies are factual context relevant information to the article.

The point has been made before that the problem is most people don't have large hands (especially the quite small people in the rest of the world) - and they have already had to get used to using two hands, so for them - the size increases are a non-change. It's only us giant-handed people that are now hitting this change. But we're not most consumers.

If the company relies on Mattermost, I would assume they'd need at least one maintainer per ~100 users, just to make sure that the SMTP keeps working reliably, there are backups etc. One person to maintain Mattermost would cost a company at least 150000 USD in the bay area. That's $100+ per month per user. Slack is way cheaper than that.

If anyone actually needs a simple metronome that tracks time precisely using the Web Audio API, I built one recently: https://dkthehuman.com/metronome

- It's fast (the #1 metronome app on the iOS App Store taking 7+ seconds to start up on my iPhone was the reason I built this)

- It has keyboard shortcuts on desktop (use arrow keys to adjust BPM and space bar to toggle playing)

- It's a progressive web app so you can add it to your home screen and it'll behave like an app

Can't you run GPS on a rooted phone, or am I mistaken? (If not, what about with magisk?) I suppose if it will run on a phone with an unlocked bootloader, you could always keep it unrooted until you need to copy the hotp, then root it.

Amazing that they've managed to rent-seek on top of a freely available open standard.
I would say we need more real rigor, of the kind that gave us qmail and seL4, and less fake rigor, of the kind that gave us Ada and inevitably proceeds from standardization.

Standardization means less autonomy, which generally means that the opinions of prestigious people are imposed on everyone else. This can be good for intellectual rigor at first if your social pecking order is based on having sound opinions, like St. Augustine, but if it's based on anything else, standardization is an intellectual disaster from the start. And of course standardization prevents intellectual progress, always and everywhere, which is how Galileo ended up under house arrest.

Your response is too long, so I'll address only a few points:

>Perhaps if you tried working for a big company or a university and began to understand the scale of the things they deal with in regards to identity and access management

I manage my lab's freeipa setup. It lets you manage TOTP tokens. I think it also allows yubikeys, but I haven't checked. It may not be as full-fledged as other offerings, but you can manage. The university pays several vendors for different sets of services (MS for AD, RedHat for servers, Duo for 2FA etc.) Right now, Duo may be preferred, but there is nothing stopping you from paying RH for a freeipa+totp solution. Vote with your wallet and all that.

>This is not quite true.

It is. The threat model is different. It's about replaying the 2FA token. That's the whole argument against TOTP/HOTP.

> it would be the absence of a working push

The phishing site can generate a working push. It just logs in to the real site at the same time with your first factor, which generates the push.
i am sick and tired of hearing apple claim "best", "first-ever", "most advanced", etc. in all their marketing. it's all unfounded, usually even false, and always misleading. there were smartphones last year that had the three-camera system (lg v40, which has more features in general as well). big deal.

>> "...no reason or benefit..."

I donno, seems legit to me. Adding "nofollow" just means "I'm not accountable for this" -- it's overloaded to mean both "My site is linking here but I didn't vet it first" (the UGC version), versus "This isn't actually me, it's an advertiser borrowing space on my site" (the sponsored version).

Your site/forum might want "credit" for being a sort of attention aggregation hub without necessarily taking responsibility for all the content your users post -- you may want a softer middle ground if such a thing becomes available. But in the advertiser version you're just renting out page real estate; your relationship with those links ends the moment the ad is displayed.

Giving you a way to differentiate between the two could let you benefit from ranking and placement that more appropriately takes your user content into consideration while better filtering out noise from ad content.
Some of the slowdown should have been noticed by QA. But most of this slowdown occurs when you have used your machine for long enough to accumulate 4 MB of File Explorer history. Telemetry is the perfect tool for catching this sort of real in-the-field problem.

I've never worked on stealth aircraft, but energy has to travel from the transmitter, through the aircraft's radar cover, off the array itself, then get back through the cover and back to the receiver.

There are probably ways to filter for specific RF frequencies on the cover so only those in specific bands can get through, then the array itself might absorb some portion of the energy that gets through. The array also might be at an angle so waves are reflected in a different direction, or there might be radar absorbing material placed in specific spots that helps minimize reflections. I think the arrangement of elements in the phased array itself could also lead to reduced RCS at certain angles. Again these are just educated guesses, I would imagine the details are classified.
That's a popular misconception, but flatly wrong. Canada has the 10th largest GDP in the world. It's larger than Russia's and just shy of Brazil, a country with 209M people vs. 37MM in Canada.

The vast majority of the country is within 100km of the US border, and frankly we've massively under-invested in critical infrastructure like high-speed rail. Our telecoms routinely claim that prices are the highest in the world because of the sparseness of the country, and yet our telecoms are the most profitable in the world. Same for our banks.

No, Canada's real problem is its lack of self-confidence... we still coddle our banks and telecoms, regulating to protect them against foreign competition while failing to enforce competition laws that would prevent anti-competitive behaviour within the country. We seem to be afraid of competing globally on a level playing field even though this would make us better.

It's a very frustrating place to be an entrepreneur, particularly if you have anything remotely resembling a libertarian bent.
"Vehicle to grid" power transfer was a key selling point of AC Propulsion's system back as far as the early 2000s.

I actually asked them about prices back then but unfortunately they were far out of reach for a DIY conversion (I think they wanted ~$40k for a drive unit for a compact car). They're still around, though (https://acpropulsion.com/) and they provided the drivetrain for the Tesla Roadster.
