I like books for fiction, and articles for keeping up to date. I usually read books for fun before sleeping, and articles to keep informed during the day. But really, I just do whatever I feel like doing.

I might cut Netflix time for reading, but articles are kind of a necessity to keep up to date.
Thanks. I went as deep as their jamstack.org homepage, their "What is Jamstack" page and their "Glossary" page, failed to find the answer, and gave up.
I brought in Java to our multi-company DARPA software project with the first public release, Alpha-something.

1. It was free.

2. Jave code ran unchanged on Sun/Solaris, Windows (95?), and Mac OS.

3. There were GUI components that would sort of look like Motif, Windows, Mac. There was no other multi-platform GUI library that was usable.

4. It had garbage collection. This was a big win.

5. It had the JNI so I could write a Java to C interface layer to the distribution library (COBRA). Later the vendor wrote a 'real' Java interface.

6. It was free, and available for download without budgets, purchase orders, management approvals, and multiple layers of no-sayers.

I had a GUI demo running on a Mac laptop, a Windows box, and a Sun box talking to our servers after one weekend day of programming.

We were not using web browsers or web servers in our system.

My build emits some extremely slight coil whining, but for the most part, it's not noticeable, only if you put your ear within close distance to the computer and pay close attention.

Also upon boot, the bios makes its speaker emit a click. From that as well as the LEDs I can tell the computer is on. No need to listen for fan noise.
> Having the same conversation now rather than right in the heat of things is fine.

Why? I don't think people should arbitrarily decide when other people should have the conversation. What if some people think it's never the right time? Should we never talk about it?

How about this, people should be allowed to have conversations about anything at the time of their choosing? Do we really need a moral police to tell us when we can communicate with each other? Nobody should force you to participate in a conversation and certainly you shouldn't prevent others from participating in a conversation.
Seems like a really sloppy test and a dumb article to make a single point about Monster cable being overpriced.

In my experience Monster isn’t anything special, but it’s not unusable either. Since their undefined panel of listening judges can’t tell the difference between Monster and copper hangers what would interest me more is if they also introduced some cabling that is thought to be far superior to Monster and ask them to then make judgments between all three.

ResolverOne was an amazing product. It is too bad it never gained much support. Microsoft’s support of IronPython was half-hearted and it never realized its full potential.

>For example, I studied linguistics and whenever I had to read Plato about language I was reminded that he really had no idea what he was talking about.

You don't read Plato for empirical science though (or Aristotle for that matter). You read him for the philosophical ideas.

Whether language is X or Y for example is still debated, and while a modern linguist might know X research results or new theories, Plato still sets off many questions that are still dividing sides and are under debate. E.g. from a Stanford website breakdown:

"The positions of Hermogenes and Cratylus have come to be known to modern scholarship as ‘conventionalism’ and ‘naturalism’ respectively. An extreme linguistic conventionalist like Hermogenes holds that nothing but local or national convention determines which words are used to designate which objects. The same names could have been attached to quite different objects, and the same objects given quite different names, so long as the users of the language were party to the convention. Cratylus, as an extreme linguistic naturalist, holds that names cannot be arbitrarily chosen in the way that conventionalism describes or advocates, because names belong naturally to their specific objects. If you try to speak of something with any name other than its natural name, you are simply failing to refer to it at all. For example, he has told Hermogenes to the latter’s intense annoyance, Hermogenes is not actually his name".
Oops, you're right!
That does make it a bit clearer, but I do hope the compiler optimizes away the redundant curr variable.

Now, on a different note, I am a bit puzzled because I don’t see a free(*ptr) call in Linus’ or anyone else’s code. The code, as-is, would cause a memory leak.

There’s a need to capture the curr_ref before it’s overwritten, and free it after it’s overwritten.
I think your math is a bit off. 1 gram of water = 1 cubic cm. Rock is more dense, maybe by a factor of 5. So 100 mg of rock would be 2% of a cc. That's tiny - much smaller than I expected for the mission - but it's still a lot bigger than a dust speck.

Author here. In the last part of my post, I do mention that Dockerfiles are probably the one thing that will outlast everything else from Docker. There's nothing really practical to replace that artifact at this time if you ask me.

There are some tools to convert your docker-compose into the k8s resource model. I'd advise against switching local development to Kubernetes. Docker found a sweet spot there, as heavyweight as it is today. I think where we'll land is Dockerfile + one of the other alternatives like kaniko, buildah, etc.

From the article - "Since the linear box filter is a deterministic algorithm, pizelizing the same values will always result in the same pixelated block."

The author used this property to create the de-pixelizing algorithm. A neural network could do it, but it would be overkill.
He has probably been planning to avoid that tax bill for years. I think the only question in his mind was ever: Nevada or Texas?
>But people who didn't study linguistics can still be impressed by Plato, and then quote him to impress others.

Same way people that studied science X (including linguistics and CS), but are philosophically naive, can have a coarsed-grained view of very nuanced situations, and adhere to naive assumptions...

As an American philosopher noted, "An expert is one who knows more and more about less and less until he knows absolutely everything about nothing".

This is true for a scientist with expertise in whatever X.

Philosophy and epistemology (along with history and art) are ways to not be a simpleton with a narrow field of view who can't put together two coherent sentences outside their field (and doesn't even understand the second and third order implications of what he studies, its possible societal impact, its relevance and so on), but to get a wider picture.

Whch is not the same as "impressing others", except in the sense that intelligence and education do impress others sometimes...
No need to change the syntax! I’ve worked with a financialy company that had really complex logic in there. Every time I had to touch one, I copied it into a code editor and gave it proper indentation, pretty much one variable at a line. Such clarity. I believe one could just paste it back and it worked - though I can’t recall for sure.
> I love how your content is automatically replicated to all of their datacenters

Well, it feels like it's automatically replicated, but your KV content is usually only stored in a few select datacenters until it becomes popular (and is then available on all DCs). This process is usually fairly quick (<50ms for a 10mb file, based on my testing from about a year ago) so it's almost imperceivable.

IMO it's a pretty obvious feature -- functional abstraction. I was wondering for years why MS wouldn't add something like that. I guess they previously thought that VBA was enough.
Users are supposed to install a driver for their card, but until they do, Windows has to use something. That something is the “basic display driver”.

That has to support every graphics card under the sun, but doesn’t have to support all features of each card, nor does it have to be performant.

The easiest and most robust way to get there is to support only the most basic set of features needed.

I guess they put that at 1024×768 (but https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_10... says it also has 1280×1024, so maybe the driver does some hardware specific stuff)

You summarized the last part of my post. In part, I wrote this article because I wanted to give a little bit of history on why docker is being deprecated at all, where it's being deprecated, and that meant calling out the fact that Docker Inc, at one point, tried to make docker into an enterprise platform.

My other intent was to clarify that this has little impact on the runtime, because Docker was never the runtime, it was always containerd.
They're only 50% cheaper because they want to make them more attractive than physical copies. If they ever kill the physical publishing they will charge whatever the hell they want for DRM'd digital copies again.

The server admin also has the choice to defer that to at least 2020-07-01, if they configure their ACME client to prefer the legacy chain.
I have always wanted that too.

the way to create small docker image is:

RUN apt-get install foo && \
do bar && \
do more && \
remove all of the crap you don't want

It should be replaced with actual first-order dockerfile statements

You can use multi-stage builds, but they are sort of hacky and do not match your thinking.

You can also use --squash but it is a hack too and usually is not available where needed because of experimental.

Also, ADD is stupid.

You can add a tar.gz file and it will expand it (but you can't use -k)

You can add the same file using http/https, except it WON'T expand it
so back to the RUN dilemma you get:

RUN apt-get install wget && \
wget foo.tar.gz && \
tar xvkf foo.tar.gz -C dir && \
rm foo.tar.gz
Scientists should have falsifiable theories, for starters.

Actually to my mind that is all you need for science: observe, make a falsifiable hypothesis, try to falsify your own hypothesis.

That is... not most economics.
> "docker-compose up" is failing half the time out-of-the-box because the web server starts before the database.

Most web frameworks will retry until it can connect or give up after a specified timeout time. Basically handle it at the app layer where you have the most control.

But you still run into situations where you need to wait for docker-compose up -d to be "really" up before doing certain things (such as exec'ing into your main container to run tests or migrations).

For that I wrote a simple Bash script at https://github.com/nickjj/wait-until. IMO a problem like this can't really be solved at the Docker Compose level. But without such a script you can easily end up with failing CI tests because there's a multi-second but varied amount of delay on upping a database for the first time. That script has become a part of all of my CI / deployment pipelines.

I agree with sister comment that the English history probably informs the etymology of an English phrase, especially given that the phrase was in use by the mid-17th century, before your timeframe.

https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/beyond_the_pale

Anyways, that paper scans more like a sociological research piece about data scientists, based on how they write, than an examination of how 'biased' generated speech is or is not, in case passer-bys are curious. Their conclusion is that most papers write about the neat things you can do with a new technique and don't always include a section on societal impact. It's more an absence of politics (I've got GPT-2 ready with your reply to this sentence ;)).

It's also worth taking into account that given their methods involved a bit of subjectivity, what bias did they bring. That said, it's easy to believe lots of papers were like "here's this thing i did!" without including a section on societal impact.
I hate Christmas because Christmas decorations get stored around 10 or 11 months out of the year and I used to end up on antibiotics every year at Christmas. Storing stuff like that tends to leave it covered in mildew.

I spoke once to someone who was allergic to Christmas trees and she was sympathetic. Everyone else typically hates on me for mentioning it. I'm a party pooper for not wanting to be deathly ill.

It also aggravates me to see articles with themes such as celebrating "the most Christmasy town in America!" that really mean the most gaudily decorated every year. No, this does not mean some spirit of giving where homeless people are gifted houses or something like that.

I also find it baffling that strident feminists haven't latched onto the angle that "Christmas promotes an evil patriarchy!."

Christmas used to be a time when poor people and children got gifts. Now it's a time when Americans load up their credit cards to engage in mostly pointless rituals that results in a mini depression every January and a chronic burden of debt on the country.

I'm not a fan and it has little to do with my general aversion to religion, though I found this article interesting enough to read and I posted the link to this HN discussion over on r/UrbanForestry. (Crossing my fingers and hoping no one hassles me about "Why on earth is this here??")

>And yet philosophy is utterly incapable of telling us what to make or do.

Actually it is perfectly capable.

In fact, nothing has been made or done without a philosophy guiding it.

It's just that for most people this is usually a self-made, uninformed, ad-hoc (and usually bad and unfit for the purpose) philosophy, or some low-tier second hand pop philosophy.

If you mean "philosophy can't tell what X exactly everybody should make or do" that's true. But that's also true for science and everything else. We are individuals, in different situations, different problems, and different goals.

Philosophy teaches us how to think about our problems, goals, etc, and how to put them in perspective, value them, examine them, etc.

It doesn't hand them out to us. Philosophy is not an oracle telling you what to do and absolving you from thinking (and that's true whether some philosophers treated theirs as such or not).

In its totality, philosophy is the exact opposite, a set of prior observations, discussions, hypotheses, thinking tools and approaches, to make you think better and to give you the benefit of the insight of others.

You get that insight on technical matters from science.

You get that insight on meta-matters (thinking about thinking, morals, etc) from philosophy.

Alternatively: Education actually has plenty of money, but too much of it is leeched out by low value vendors charging high premiums for easily replaced commodities, low value administrative staff performing easily automated tasks, and public-sector unions filling their coffers and the coffers of friendly politicians, long before teachers receive a penny, many of which then have to shell out for materials out of their own pockets, materials which ought to be provided for by their employers.

I went to public schools which were thick with staff, and for the life of me I could never figure out why there was any more staff than the faculty, the principal, the vice principal, a secretary and maybe a janitor and lunch lady. Even the libraries, IT tasks and sports equipment were maintained by faculty. Janitorial tasks and catering could be good exercises for the kids if you wanted to cut some staff because frankly a good number of kids, myself included, could have used the extra discipline growing up.

Meanwhile there were too many unused classrooms, too many kids per class, too few seats and tables and too few lockers. Teachers were paying for printouts and unreturned textbooks (that the students didn’t return to the teacher) but the administration sure had a thick wad of newsletters, handbooks, forms, reports (not all to do with the students, mostly administrative crap) and all manner of garbage for us to take home every single week.
"How to Win Friends and Influence People" by Dale Carnegie.
1. "Boeing + Airbus have a very very very vested interest in making sure that aviation is safe, and appears very safe"

2. "Boeing did lie about shit. Middle management pushed some real bullshit with the max."

So how are these two things squared? I'd say clearly Boeing has other interests which compete with safety, like profit. The difference between "appears safe" and "is safe" can be profitably "arbitraged", until you mess up and get caught.

It doesn't seem their very very very vested interest in making sure aviation is safe was sufficient to replace outside supervision after all.
