A former rkt dev here. rkt was archived by the CNCF with our blessings. Was just speaking to other rkt folks at FOSDEM about archiving the project on GH as well, which should happen shortly.
We will also announce deprecation of rkt in Flatcar Container Linux very soon.
rkt really changed the container runtime landscape for the best and we're happy to see that other projects improved because if it and that the space was able to consolidate a bit.

I did a lot of occam in the 1980s working with transputer-based machines (I wrote a sort of OS for the system our company was building to target TV/film animation). At the time Inmos marketing came up with the line "We want to make occam the FORTRAN of parallel processing." My response, referring to occam's lack of data structuring, was, "You have."
Glad to see they’ve solved the problem of harassment and fake accounts and are moving on to much harder challenges.
I'll tag on to this line of thinking.

It is interesting how legacy code can influence what you do in new code.

I still consider myself a bit of a n00b and landed a job where there is this monster of legacy code. I hate working in it with a passion.

Then I got the chance to build something new while working with the old code.

Very quickly I realized how much that legacy code taught me about maintainability, extensibility, and dealing with the business logic(s) that are likely to show up.

My new project was / is hardly perfect, but I made sure those things that seemed inevitable / the old code taught me "Oh I see something changed and this is a shim of sorts to do X, Y, Z when it only did A, B, C." showed up in my new code too, but were easily changed / customized and etc.

Things that are / were a big lift in the old code ... in my project is now just about 5 minutes of work and so forth.

Still hate that old code... but it taught me a lot that just writing straight new code would never have shown me.

There are enough reasons to believe that Jeffrey Epstein might have operated a honeypot for Mossad, and Ghislaine Maxwell was his handler:

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21410931

That would explain why Jeffrey Epstein’s injuries look more like murder than suicide, according to a pathologist:

https://www.miamiherald.com/news/state/florida/article236809...

And why the surveillance footage from the night of his first suicide attempt went missing:

Personally, I believe that he was a kind of person who would have never killed himself. And that's not the only thing he had in common with Donald J. Trump:

Needless to say, the current US policy in Middle East has given Israel almost everything it has ever asked for, and what no other Western nation has agreed with:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_recognition_of_J...

> Trump's decision to recognize Jerusalem as Israel's capital was rejected by a majority of world leaders. The United Nations Security Council held an emergency meeting on December 7 where 14 out of 15 members condemned Trump's decision, but the motion was vetoed by the United States.
If we're being pedantic ... Apple has a few apps in the Google Play Store. So they must have had Android developers on payroll at some point in time.
There are more than one. Some do believe in that, some don't. One thing to consider is that when it comes to abortions, the majority support banning some forms of abortion and the majority support legalizing some forms of abortion, with late term abortions being more in the ban category (and lots of fun with all the sorts of exceptions people want to add). This shows that the stereotypical pro-choice and pro-life views are both in the minority and do not describe the majority.

Yes, some people are against abortion and many programs that stop the need for abortions. But even their reasoning is often based on their own beliefs that they are acting in the best interest of the child.

Also, there is a distinction between supporting laws preventing harmful actions and supporting laws causing supportive actions. For example, most everyone here would support banning killing of 10 year old children regardless of where in the world they live by citizens from their home country, but generally few here would support SNAP, WIC, and medicare, or their country equivalents, being expanded as is to cover all those same children. Does this mean they don't care to protect those children? Such views would quickly lead to the conclusion that either you fully dedicate yourself 100% to fixing every possible wrong or else you don't care about anyone.
I'm glad someone here gets it.

Wow, what's your app?
It's not that the products are poor but that Intel has a long and proud tradition of killing any product that is not directly related to x86.

Intel GPU started with i740 (a stand-alone AGP card), which is the last stand-alone GPU they made... and that was 1998 or so.

Their networking chipsets were a result of Intel's own x86 motherboard business, especially in the server arena. Intel also bought out companies in the late 90s/early 2000s to build their stand-alone network appliance business (routers, firewalls, SSL accelerators, etc) only to prompt kill that off when x86 started stumbling thanks to the P4 and AMD's competition.

I thought part of their managed service was that they optimized / tuned your postgres db based on how you were using it. If that is true, then moving off of the managed service means you are tuning postgres yourself now.

Also want to throw in there that it is important to not only compare specs, but to also compare hardware. If DO has newer chips and faster RAM, then you will take a performance hit moving to the new provider even if the machine is beefier.

There is an old joke about a mathematician and an engineer invited to kiss someone they both fancied if they got there first. The catch was they could only move half the distance towards the inviter each period.

While the mathematician fretted about Zeno's paradox preventing from convergence, the engineer got close enough to the inviter, eventually, to take them up on the offer.

LeCun is the mathematician in this analogy.

Note: he responded to Mukherjee's comment here. Why?

Mukherjee made a comment.

LeCun then responded.

The causal reason that LeCun responded is because Mukherjee commented.

There may be a host of associated factors -- perhaps LeCun only monitors comments while bouncing on a pogo stick in a large conference room and simultaneously sipping a latte. It doesn't matter. Because if LeCun were bouncing on a pogo stick in a conference room and sipping his latte, he would not have made the response if Mukherjee had not first commented.

So, we have clear existence of causality. If needs be, we could build an entire framework with that observational evidence.

JS is on an extreme end of the spectrum of language inconsistencies, and a lot of developers with extensive experience in other languages strongly prefer not to use it. That's partly why there are so many languages that transpile to JS so you don't have to suffer though actually writing it.

Further, UI development is an area where things can get messy very quickly. "Safe" languages often greatly minimize the kinds of bugs that are very easy to write in JS. This is one reason why Elm and Clojurescript have had years of adoption -- they by default make values immutable (and their entire programming paradigm doesn't actually require mutating most values ever) which removes a large class of common UI errors. There are other benefits as well.

They give the following definition of the reasons for the low confidence rating, though: "Inconclusive evidence (limited sources, extrapolations, inconsistent findings, poor documentation and/or methods not tested, etc.), disagreement or lack of opinions among experts".

Yet formal correctness is about "getting things 100% correct 100% of the time" to the greatest extent possible (you can mathematically prove the "correctness" of a program using formal methods, but it still has to run on actual hardware and you're assuming there are no bugs in your tooling).
From the TOS:

> In return for doing the paperwork to process your Claim and providing other services to help you through the dispute resolution process, you are assigning Radvocate a 20% stake in any monetary relief resulting from your Claim against the Counterparty (the “Stake”).

> In addition to its Stake, you agree to pay Radvocate 10% of any amount payable that’s removed from or written off of your bill or debt (the “Debt Relief Fee”).

> If you accept a settlement offer but the Stake and the Debt Relief Fee are less than $20 when added together, then you agree to pay Radvocate $20, instead of and not in addition to the Stake and the Debt Relief Fee, to partially offset the costs that Radvocate incurred pursuing your Claim.

> If you fail to respond to multiple requests for information about the status or outcome of your Claim from Radvocate (“Ghosting”), you authorize Radvocate to charge any payment card connected to your account for $30 - the approximate cost of preparing, delivering and managing your Claim.

However:

> 100% SATISFACTION GUARANTEE: Radvocate’s fees are subject to a 100% satisfaction guarantee - if you aren’t completely satisfied with our service, then you don’t have to pay Radvocate anything.

So if I'm reading this right, anybody can say they're dissatisfied for any reason (even, ostensibly, if they're dissatisfied with the terms of service) and that gets them out of any fees to Radvocate.

You are once again spreading the lie that there is some magical legal difference between a “platform” and a “publisher” that somehow limits a company’s ability to control what its users do on that company’s own servers. There is no such distinction, legally.
The latter — not necessarily PVP constraint violations though, but rather dependency hell situations. One example that pops to mind: packaging git-annex for Homebrew was always “great fun” until we settled on resolving with LTS Haskell (IIRC).

Maybe you're right, maybe you're wrong.

But trusting companies to do the right thing is untenable. That trust has been broken far too often, by far too many companies. The only rational position a concerned user can take is to assume that anybody collecting such sensitive information (particularly in a sneaky way) intends to monetize it or use it for purposes other than product improvement.

And even if the data really will only be used for product development, getting the user's informed consent -- and refraining from data collection without it -- is critical.

Further, using GA automatically means that the data is being used for Google's purposes as well as the application creator's.
None of what you just said has any basis in reality
All perfectly reasonably points. Which is why anecdata should generally not be taken very seriously. Especially when the author of it has some seriously questionable motives, which is the case with Glassdoor. The two groups of people who have the strongest motive to post something on Glassdoor are disgruntled employees (and an employee can become disgruntled in any work place, no matter how good or how terrible it might be), and astroturfers (and perhaps also competitors, but I have no idea how good they are at policing that). It has exactly the same set of problems that any review site has. Perhaps it’s aggregate data can reveal some truths, perhaps not. But a single review (especially one that is either strongly negative or strongly positive) reveals nothing.

This comment starts off fine. Sharing personal experience is nearly always ok and interesting and good HN material. But please don't go the way of your last paragraph here. Escalations like "if you are not emotionally autistic" and "he is likely a broken individual" are guaranteed to activate someone, and that way lies flamewar—completely needlessly.

When you post to HN, you're broadcasting to thousands if not hundreds of thousands of readers. It feels like a small and intimate conversation, which has a lot of advantages, but on this point that feeling is misleading.

As a general observation, it's not that useful to look at single gauges. As glaciers melt, the land nearby rises because of the lower weight on it, which shows up as the sea level going down. This is besides all other kinds of geological activity that might be going on in a particular location.

[edit] Anyway to be more specific, there's a single Antarctic glacier with enough water to cause 0.5 meters of sea level rise, and a recent measurement shows it will melt in "decades, possibly more than a century." https://www.bbc.com/news/science-environment-51097309
I should have posted to that.

I think NVidia's adoption of SPARK for security critical firmware is victory, specially since they also evaluated Frama-C and Rust as part of their selection process.

I've heard most of the rising sea levels will come from thermal expansion of water, not melting ice.

Liquid water is notorious for having almost no thermal expansion, but the little bit it does have will be multiplied by the volume of the ocean, then divided by the surface area of the ocean, yielding the rough vertical rise.
> [the baby] still preferred his relationship with his mom more than with me. Oh yes, that's a thing by the way that seems to get lost in these discussions.

It doesn't get lost. Yes, babies are closer to their mothers. But they are also closer to fathers that interact with them more often than to fathers who interact with them more briefly, all other things equal. And fathers who take more care of their babies also help the mothers not get overwhelmed while at the same time getting to spend more quality time with their babies.

It doesn't have to mean the baby will prefer the father to the mother, which like you said, is unlikely.

To sum up:

- The mom wins, by not being overwhelmed and not being relegated to a housekeeping/babysitting role (if she doesn't want it).

- The father wins, by being more involved in the raising of his kids, and enjoying more time together with them.

- The baby also wins by getting to know his/her father better at an early and fundamental stage.

Thing that I know happens, from personal experience: you can put a giant modal alert, and write in blinking, all caps, 60pt bright-red font that you will do something unless the user presses a button, then draw a bright red arrow to the button. Users will still complain that they weren’t informed.

Users are lazy and dumb, and the most ideological users are often the laziest and/or the dumbest, because they have an agenda. They will go out of their way not to give you the benefit of the doubt (”why was the font not 80pt? Clearly, you’re trying to hide something from users on high resolution screens!”)

Not particularly 'quickly', really.
