> This is significant - if your organization only uses a few dozen base images from DockerHub, those images will only be downloaded by each build node _once_, then never again.

You're assuming that the set of build nodes is relatively static.

Plenty of architectures set up autoscaling for the underlying nodes, that terminate servers that aren't being used and relatively soon enough (tens of minutes, hours) spin up new servers to replace them as needed.

Rarely do the machine images used to spin up new servers include the base images of the containers that will be spun up to replace them. Much more often, the base machine image is a base OS image, and container images are downloaded on-the-fly as needed. Essentially, the engineering cost of making image-launching more efficient was externalized onto an external provider willing to pay the price.
> I'll be honest: I barely knew anything about the CDS and I expected some runaround from a government agency like this, and I was pleasantly surprised

I'm one of the team that did the initial implementation of the server and iOS app before handing it off to the CDS for the latter part of implementation, and I've been really, really impressed with the CDS. They're a great model for what tech in government should look like.
In this scenario the judge would be a victim of the corruption. If they capitulated to the threats, they would then simultaneously be participants in and victims of the corruption.

From what I understand it's common for participants in criminal organizations to be victimized by those same organizations, so this apparent contradiction isn't really unusual.
Serious question - are Taiwanese companies typically prone to this also, or does CCP mainly leave them alone?

We have to increase the general level of consciousness of the average citizen. High-consciousness individuals do not seek to troll, and see through the troll's bullshit and do not engage with it.
"people don’t know what they want until you create it for them" in point 2

"“Go looking for your user base” is something that you need to do since day one when you start writing the first line of code" in point 1

Don't you contradict yourself?

Startup is not about creating stuff. It is about solving a problem. People will not be like "oh yeah, I didn't know I had this problem!" So, spending 4-6 month to discover that is extremely expensive.

"Remember that "not-remote" is intrinsically better than "remote" and that brings many advantages." - well, that is a very hard story to sell in 2020
Curiously enough Scott Adams(Dilbert creator) talks a lot about what he call the "talent stack", which is what we are discussing here.

If you have a combination of skills that have synergy then you can have great results.
This is the reason I started working towards getting better a note taking. Describing what I'm learning in my own words may help me retain the information better.

I don't publish it because I don't know anyone cares but I feel like it helps myself regardless, and keeping them searchable seems like it should pay off at some point.
Nikole Hannah Jones (the creator) has been pretty explicit about wanting to "control the narrative." It's activism masquerading as history, regardless of whether they claim it to be otherwise.

It shouldn't. There's no political gain for any of the major parties. It also happens after several, relatively minor, cases of corruption and nepotism in the military and intelligence services (former high-ranking official just got 3months prison today). It stinks mostly of a corruption and several decades of lack of proper oversight
"With phones replacing traditional uses of laptops and desktops, "but its a phone, and their software/their rules" will not be an appropriate defense of Apple."

Really? Despite the hand wringing Apple is not a majority of the market, nor anywhere near market capture MS was during the antitrust days. That did nothing to alter Microsoft's perch. The only thing knocking MS off the top of the hill was the innovation of the smartphones/tablets.

For me the appeal of the iPhone is the walled garden. It just works. No, it's not perfect but it's way better than general purpose computers. Which I also use and also have their place.

To me iOS is an appliance. A tool. Pick it up, use it and move on. No thinking about managing/maintaining it is required. It's why for many of my family iPads are their primary computing devices. Because they don't want computing devices - the want devices that will let them surf the web, talk with friends and family and do other tasks. Period. They don't give a rats ass about "computers" (hint - an opinion shared by the majority of people on this planet, whether we like it or not).

Why isn't there room for both models? Why can't there be tightly managed platforms, totally open platforms and then anything in between? The mere existence of iOS doesn't prevent people who don't want the rules imposed by iOS to pick some other solution. Yet ironically you want to dictate to Apple how they should be able to run their platform while complaining they are too restrictive?

And as I made in another comment, the hypocrisy of Microsoft in particular on this is hilarious. I'll take them seriously on this subject when the Epic Store shows up on Xbox Live and MS isn't taking a cut out of it either.
I romanticised by implying that all the stores are like that.

My experience is mostly from Switzerland where I grew up and Colombia where I have been living the last 5 years.

In Switzerland pure 2nd hand, non antique shops in general are somewhat rare. It is usually sold directly online or in places run by charities. I think 2nd hand had a bit of a resurgence with the raise of the hipster subculture, but don't know the current state. The ones I went to had a mix between used and new or only new.

In Colombia you get a bigger range from the big, cheap labor second hand book stores as you describe, to the small super personal ones. Here is also where for the first time I have seen coffee service and a few tables/sofas within a bookstore. Never back home.

So yes, true, not every small bookshop you walk into will be like that, but so far in every city I have stayed a couple weeks in in Europe and LatAm, I found at least one.
Hi, you should post your link as a Show HN and make it be about your work, not some extension making a pile of money. Leading with that detail is sensational and distracting, and the idea on HN is to discuss more deeply interesting things. If you'd write about your tool, how you came to work on it, and what's different about it, the community might respond better.

The insurance industry probably needs new products, but when I worked at Aflac, they did a lot in house, so I don't know if you could readily market it. They did tons in spreadsheets and I kept angling to improve stuff and actually got an award for a thing I did, and then had to harangue people to actually get it made available department-wide and then someone else took it over and promptly screwed up the formatting with the very first update.

I left insurance years ago. My knowledge is not current. But if you want product ideas, insurance is an industry drowning in information overload and if you could figure out how to throw them a life preserver and get them to pay for it, you could potentially make a killing.

No, this isn't ironic. It is actually the opposite of irony. The results are completely expected that a company has more recourse against the government in the US than in China. Maybe the word you are looking for is apropos.
I agree, and I've thought for a long time that "natural talent" is usually just "natural curiosity" that has been given enough time to grow into something bigger. After all, if you regularly spend your attention focused on something, you'll inevitably become better over time. I think a lot of topics that people consider to be "impenetrable", like programming, science or math, can be tackled with this attitude.
You would be wrong. Try adding a string and number together. That's a type error. Unlike in JS or C, where a lot of these conversions are implicit and only warn if anything.

Python determines the types at runtime, but it is very clear about what few operations you're allowed to do on any given set of types.
Well, probably not. Nim is similar, but I prefer Mys' Python-like syntax. Mys' toolchain will probably be similar to Nim. That is, generating C/C++ code.

Sorry about the confusion. Mys is statically typed. I changed the HN post from strongly to statically to make it clear.

Are you saying that in any given UK primary school (I mean the actual physical school, not the school district, municipality, county, etc) they don't use the same textbook/curriculum across multiple classrooms in the same grade/standard?

Does each teacher or student/family chooses the textbook to use, without any standardization even at the same school?

That seems pretty impractical.
Yeah, my interactions with them were all great. Really refreshing.
This is ridiculous. This is not how US courts work.

The US government does not go after a judges family if they make the "wrong" ruling.
Sorry mate, that got misspelled. Yes, I agree with you an all those points, but to totally disregard the fact that the person is of chinese origin and a former chinese citizen is not giving the whole picture.

In the case of Isaak, people in sweden seem to think he was some kind of stockholm journalist when he was merely swabbing the floors of a swedish news agency. Not to discredit him of course, I was actually a cleaner myself at one point ... But to simply refer to him as an "abducted swedish journalist" very much leaves the full picture unpainted. More accurately he was a political refugee in sweden and oppositional activist in eritrea, and I think he wrote a newsletter there as well or some kind of newspaper.

In any case, hope they all go free soon, poor people.
This would be great for Mexico, if such moves actually materialize.

Perhaps the most interesting thing I read in this article:

"Foxconn Chairman Liu Young-way told an investor conference in Taipei on Aug. 12 the world was split into “G2” - or two groups - following Sino-U.S. tensions, saying his firm was working on “providing two sets of supply chain to service the two markets.”

“The world factory no longer exists,” he said, adding that about 30% of the company’s products were now made outside China and the ratio could increase."

> I entirely agree that normalising this conversation around mental health is essential, yet often requires courage to do so, especially in a work context

Broaching this topic and some of the reasons behind the extended break were terrifying in the work context. I've grown into a leadership role after many successful years with the company, and the thought of "admitting" to my mental health issues was daunting at first. Like it would somehow undo my years of professional progress. I'm grateful that my upper leadership was actually quite receptive, and others have shared that they feel more empowered to address their own issues when they see other people willing to share more about their own struggles.

But even with that, there's still incredible pressure to rise above it and lead the product.

I've been working with a trauma-aware therapist for a few years now (amazingly helpful), and they provided input as I planned the 4 week break. I do plan to explore some of these topics more explicitly in upcoming sessions.
I mean, you probably don't have to worry too hard about oxalates! The strongest predictor by far for stone forming is a history of stone forming, so I have to be very careful to limit oxalate-rich foods, but unless you've had problems before, you're likely good - although it's still not a bad idea to keep it in mind, because kidney stones suck a lot to have. And be sure to drink plenty of water, of course, but that's a good rule no matter what.

Another way I like to use vegetables is in sauces. It doesn't take much - what I'll usually do is start with a Béchamel (blond roux, add milk or cream) and then once it's well combined add handfuls of well-chopped onion, bell pepper, mushroom, or almost anything else I have on hand. Simmer and stir over low flame until the flavor and texture say "done". If you like spicy, then adding one whole finely minced habanero early on makes for a pleasantly gentle and slow-working heat; if you like umami, a generous dose of gorgonzola or some other strong cheese gives the sauce a unique base note. The juices from the vegetables (especially mushrooms, which are full of water) will join the sauce, bringing their volatiles along, and you end up with a subtle flavor that, depending on what you put in, will complement just about anything.

(If you eat meat and like steak, do be sure also to try it under a mushroom-and-gorgonzola sauce on this base! "That's got to be way too much" of both is about enough, and you can also add fresh crumbled bacon. Done right, it beats out any steakhouse I've ever been to. Enjoy!)
> The median salary for cops is more than $105,000 a year[1]...

From what I can tell 105k a year is the highest median police salary for any state in the country. Why bring up New Jersey specifically and act like it's representative? Either use the number for the whole country or the number for Michigan, which is where the events in the article took place (and where the median salary is less than half the NJ amount).
> Redhat made Podman which is a compatible replacement

I would actually prefer if they made an incompatible replacement. Docker's CLI is pretty bad in my opinion.

I want to use Docker the same way I use a headless virtual machine running an SSH server. I want starting/exiting containers to be independent from their 'main process'. I want to attach/detach whenever I need to and execute arbitrary processes.

-- Just use /bin/bash as the main process

This seems to be the workaround, but I always have problems with containers exiting when I don't want them to and it's just harder than what it needs to be. I've spent a total of like 6 hours learning Docker and I still don't know exactly how to achieve this simple workflow without my containers quitting on me or attach/detach issues. With VirtualBox I can do this easily. Am I too stupid to use Docker?

-- Then just use VirtualBox

That's what I do, but I would like not to have the overhead of a vm.
Apple users spend 80% more on apps than Android users, and that's using global numbers which makes the number even more staggering.

Their post processing stack has changed like 5 times in the last 2 years, breaking old methods of post processing. Hopefully now that SRP is getting more mature that particular thing will slow down.

The videoplayer component broke for a few months. Builtins got pealed out into the package manager and it trivially broke some code. I don't know how long shuriken is for this world (good riddance imo, vfx graph is so much better.)

Shadergraph adds and loses nodes every version.

If you start a project in the same version you finish it in, it's not too bad. If you upgrade because you want to use a new-shiny, the surgery becomes more apparent.
Honestly friend, when your own site was the original source, I think you’ve either got to change the site or accept that others will use it as a source. It’s not so much about us being ignorant as it is about us acting in good faith and trusting authoritative sources. When we can’t trust authoritative sources without being called out, the whole trust based nature of the web suffers.

I have a good sense of how traumatic that was. Hell, a previous bit of my hacktivism raised the ire of my city and lead to threats to throw one of my closest people in jail. So, I understand the feeling of trauma. If you ever need to talk about how trauma lingers, my email is on my profile. Please use it if you’d like to talk about shit with zero judgment.
Driver's can get kicked off the platform if they reject too many rides, so I wouldn't necessarily call that setting your own rate. They can decide whether or not to be active based on surge rate which is something somewhat akin to setting a rate.

Tech is cool and all, but this can be done much more simply with just reading a lot and keeping a journal and that sort of the thing.

The real sticking point is the minute you know "too much" about the impact things have on the body and try to engage in discussion, someone will have a cow about how you are "practicing medicine without a license" or something.

The problem is that any exercise of real power will get someone's hackles up, even if that power is just a case of "knowledge is power" and medical/health stuff is a super touchy topic for a long list of reasons.

>>We accidentally a whole hash function… but we had a good reason!

I think they missed a couple of words and meant to say that they "accidentally created a whole new hash function", but I can't be sure. UMASH was designed after Backtrace evaluated various existing hash functions and realized that none quite fit the specialized "fingerprinting" caching use-case.
> Secondly, it’s a tiny market.

The author suggested $2k/month gross revenues ~ $20k/year net, was a reasonable expectation for a niche app. So this presumes you have maybe 5 apps, developing a new one or redeveloping an existing one on a pretty regular basis. Or it presumes a side-gig. It doesn't really presume a startup company.
Thanks Leo, we have you to thank for introducing us to the concept of 'emotional debt'. I totally agree that for the majority of us, navigating the inner-world + increasing self-awareness has an absurdly high ROI on success/fulfillment.

What I also find fascinating is how running a company or leading a team appear to be an incredibly efficient vehicle for surfacing one's own sh*t—and once this new perspective is adopted—it becomes more potent than any self-help program out there for one's own personal growth.
There's not much with this particular page, but I just kinda meant in general; read the page from a decade ago. You'll see how the page grew and you'll also see any bias that creeps in over the years.
I think there used to be more of a tacit understanding and silent acceptance of this.

Don't ask don't tell basically. It doesn't fit the ideal that your inner and outer life should be in accordance. It's what makes americans envious of the french and their infamous 5-a-7pm window, and how normal people imagine romance and commitment between the hereditary wealthy.

Those arrangements still rely on concealment though, the hurt of proven infidelity is often all too real (regardless if you're french or not). Societal norms no longer encourage or condone willful ignorance.
Interestingly each of those arguments also applies to publishing an article describing your work.

It most certainly should continue to be thought of as a dietary supplement by current definitions, or you are on an errand to redefine that term (in the USA, at least).

It is the responsibility of physicians to discuss diet and supplementation with patients, and know that food and supplements have potent acute and chronic effects, and these effects may be on par with prescription medications.
things like drag imply energy will be needed to transport people. The only solution that seriously tries to make some gains there is the hyperloop. I have doubts about the biofuels for the simple reason that fields which produce them can probably be used to produce food as well. Also whether they are CO2 neutral is questionable as they typically store less carbon when the plants are small after harvest, compared to permanent forests or algae. Increasing populations imply the food will be seen as more vital. maybe if we crack the energy puzzle in a space efficient matter hydrogen can be used in planes and the like eventually.
No friend, there’s no fault at all. Thanks to the way you phrased it, I got to listen to a really intelligent person explain their true feelings. That meant a lot to me and honestly, I’m more embarrassed by young me!! :)
>Public/mass transport with good mechanisms for short journeys to and from hubs is a better model.

Maybe in Europe or Asia. But in the US, private vehicles are the only viable option for a huge portion of the population. Our entire society is built around it. The density simply isn't there for public transit to make any sense, and distances are far too vast for scooters/e-bikes to work.
