This is, at best, silly. It's not like people on HN are any more informed on politics than the average person. They think they're more informed, which makes for worse political discussion, because they've invested more of their identity[1] in being right.

Most people are rationally ignorant about politics. It's not like being more aware will necessarily lead to the positions you want. It wouldn't take much to convince workers in Michigan to pass a law that makes things more difficult for cars made in California.

I would like this feature too (as well as indexing symbols from remote files), butI wouldn't expect it, due to the potential for overwhelming a server by downloading hundreds or thousands of files. Doing the search server-side would be prohibitively complicated, due to the variety of shells and environments.

The workaround would be to use a setup that mounts SFTP drives locally (ExpanDrive, MacFusion, etc).
I really like the main message of this video. I think it makes loads of sense, I've employed it in my own projects at the beginning.

One question is that it seems like the first speaker and some of the people asking questions are asking "why did nobody ever do this before?"

That just isn't true. In Atlanta, for instance, we have had a company Zifty for years. Zifty has been here well before grubhub or the other sites. I guess Zifty hasn't expanded to San Francisco, yet. :) But anyway, my point is that I don't see how doordash is a new idea?

Edit here's the question from the transcript: Q: When you started, it seemed so obvious to you, you were wondering why, what the reason was nobody had done this before. What's your answer now looking back?
We use docker extensively to ship a large and complex legacy platform that was designed to run as a hosted service, but was transformed into an on-premise product.

The system is composed of several components originally designed to run on separate VMs for security reasons. Luckily, we were able to translate VM <-> docker container, so now each component has its own Dockerfile + shell script for booting up and providing runtime configuration.

Docker helps us solve several problems:

* A canonical build. It provides a way to configure the build system, fetch all dependencies and execute a reproducible build on different machines/environments. It's also used as documentation when engineers have no clue, where settings/parameters come from.

* A super fast build pipeline and release repository. We use maven -> nexus, docker -> docker-registry, vagrant -> local export for a completely automated way to bootstrap an ovf-file that can be deployed at customer site. Releases for the old platform were not automated and took the previous teams weeks (!) on a single platform.

* A way to restrict resources. Given some security constraints from the product, lxc + docker helps us restrict memory and networking.

* Shipping updates. We deliver automated updates through a hosted docker registry for customers who open up the appliance to the internet. Previous teams were not able deliver updates in time for a single hosted platform. We can now ship new releases and have them deployed at several customers data-centers in a matter of hours.

We have been using docker in production for almost a year now and despite headaches in the beginning it's been absolutely worth it.
Is systemd eventually going to contain Wayland, then? SSHd? PAM? Samba? How far does this go? Is it going to end up that if I want configurable logins (a la PAM), or to access a SMB file server, I need to use systemd as my init system, log management system, and whatever else?

unlikely you'd actually need the full 10Gbps from the thunderbolt. As you said, they are way overpriced since Apple is really the only company using Thunderbolt.

You could try out a USB3 external as a possible alternative, 6Gbps is still likely faster than even an array of SSD's.

Ask HN: What Happened to the iPod Lineup?
For the past many years, Apple has released new iPods every other year... But this was the year for that to happen again, and for anyone who watched their Special Event, you know that didn't happen. Now, their iPod Shuffle and Classic haven't received upgrades for 4 years or over each, which I can understand (who wants to pay 50 bucks for 2 gigs of storage and no screen?), and I can understand if they discontinue both. However, I was honestly expecting an iPod Touch 6th gen this year, and am VERY surprised that Apple hasn't released one. I can see if perhaps the Apple Watch replaces the iPod Nano to some extent, but I know the both the iPod Touch and iPod Nano are huge sellers for Apple, and I really don't understand why they haven't received upgrades. Does anyone have an answer to this question that's bothering me? I would hate for the legacy of the iPods to die.

According to filesharing rules and many people here on HN, you can't "steal" an idea. After all, it's not like a car. The idea is still there to be used by the original owner.

I know they charge by time I was wondering what the typical charges are that are linked to emails.

For example if you email a question to your attorney and he emails back a 1 paragraph or 1 sentence response does that show up in billing as "email re: clarification $75" etc.
Which is oppositional to the unix philosophy. There will be only one permitted http server and one permitted database server, all that is not permitted will be forbidden and all that it not forbidden will be mandatory.

Developing and Self-Hosting ASP.Net VNext Application Without Visual Studio
We use docker for:

- running graphite (can't say it was less pain launching it, since Dockerfile was outdated a bit, and I also had to additionally figure out persistency issues, but overall I'm happy it's all virtualized and not living on server itself)

- building our haskell projects for specific feature (your run a container per feature, this way you omit pain switching between features when you need to build one)

- running tests (per each feature we start container with whole infrastructure inside (all databases, projects etc.))

- running staging, also container per feature

Very useful stuff, comparing to alternatives, I should say. And quite easy to work with after you play a bit with docker's api.
Genuinely interested in people's opinions:

1. Is this (a) an ad hominem attack on paleo's scientific legitimacy, or (b) an attempt to save the paleo community from the damaging effects of association with misogyny and racism?

2. Is the author claiming that a paleo lifestyle is intrinsically bigoted, or that some paleos are bigots?

Separately, I'm not sure I understand the "cultural appropriation" aspect that constitutes the entirety of the racism charge, can anyone clarify this for me?

And it's still cheaper than the best new Mac Mini, and it will way way out perform it.

That BRIX you linked to has a quad core with hyper threading (8 threads), and Iris Pro graphics (you can do some gaming with this, not just hi-def video).

And when outfited with 16GB of RAM, and a 240GB SSD, this puppy is what the new Mac Mini should have been. (only this is cheaper!)

http://www.newegg.com/Product/ComboBundleDetails.aspx?ItemLi...

And according to this review, it sips about 82w at full throttle:

http://www.missingremote.com/review/gigabyte-brix-pro-gb-bxi...

So, it uses less power than the Mac Mini, busting Apple's claim that their new Mac Mini is the "lowest power computer in the world".

All-in-all, you'd have to be a fool to buy the new Mini. Especially given we can expect the current (new) Mini hardware to be the same for another 2-3 years without a refresh, and given the difficulty you will have trying to upgrade it with more RAM, HDD, etc.
How? A program that runs on your computer has access to all your files anyway. How is it anymore of a security problem if it can't just access your files, change configurations, run other programs but can also send X11 events to other programs?

> There are two major schools of thought about how one should interpret literature, and I prefer the one that suggests the context in which something was written should be taken into consideration (the other school, which happens to dominate departments of English Literature, is kind of nutty).

The Constitution is not literature, and this confuses the goals of law interpretation and literature interpretation.

When interpreting the law, we are trying to find the meaning of the law. The "author is dead" school of analysing literature has a different method not because they are nutty, but because they have a different goal: not to divine some true meaning of the text, but to understand the experience of reading the text -- something which is completely irrelevant to the law.

The only reason that anyone could think that a "textualist", context-free interpretation of the law makes sense is that the US was founded relatively recently. Older countries have no choice to deal with the fact that meanings change, and that the law makes no sense if we pretend it was written today.

> I am running Debian unstable with sysvinit-core and KDE, and while the loss of functionality was quite visible the situation is slowly getting back to normal.

I'm having a similar experience with systemd. I had problems with USB storage (seems fixed now) and I'm still having problems with networking. DBus went haywire, not sure if it's in a sensible state yet or not. I haven't been using VPN connections or suspend.

This isn't exactly a nightmare scenario. Most of the evident problems with systemd seem to be fixable. I can't say I'm impressed. I'm also having a hard time remembering why it was so important to move away from sysv init in the first place.

So you're using containers in only staging? I can see why it would be appealing, but have you run into complications with staging being structured so differently from production?
>The experiment's already been done.

I'd love to hear about it.

>No-one descended from the heavens and imposed our current governmental system; what we have now is what people did.

"What people did", isn't what you or I did, necessarily. Are you making the classic HN error of assuming that every reader lives in your country (usually the US)? Or do you think that every government is legitimate, no matter what, so long as it is not overthrown?

>If you remove the government, people band together into organizations that behave the same way: first you get something like a union where people pay dues and get certain benefits, their decision making structure evolves, and eventually the organization decides to cover everyone and force everyone to contribute. (It's been quite amusing to watch this happening in miniature in eve online)

Eve Online is not a great example, imo, for a few reasons. First the corporation tax is built into the game's mechanics. It is assumed that this is must be how all corporations will work. But that's less of an issue than.. Two, corporation membership is indeed voluntary. It is exceptionally easy to leave a corp (minus a potential 24 hour stasis). Even if you're deep in nullsec, you can get out. If you die trying, no big deal. This is nothing like living in a modern state, where even leaving said state can be subject to prohibitive border controls. And getting shot by an agent of the state doesn't exactly follow by you ending up in a station where your clone was located. The involuntary nature of the state and the very real consequences of what it does immediately separates it from something akin to an Eve corp.

>Of course it's possible to set arbitrary rules under which a government doesn't form, or corporations provide something better, but those rules end up being very arbitrary.

I don't think there's any doubt that if a government suddenly didn't exist, or could no longer pay its bills that we'd see alternative institutions take up the slack in certain areas. But it isn't necessarily a state entity that would do so, and this is clearly a main point of disagreement here.
One thing that is not making the discussion clearer is that many people are failing to distinguish between two different kinds of dependencies. Depending on a systemd library versus depending on the systemd daemons running are quite different scenarios. It would be ideal for the latter to be minimized, but the former is not a problem at all.

To take an analogy, plenty of Debian packages depend on libselinux1, because they feature optional selinux functionality, and not depending on libselinux1 would result in broken symbol tables. But most of these packages work perfectly fine without SELinux configured (as you might guess, since very few people actually have SELinux configured). Having libselinux1 on your system does not require you to use SELinux, and imo it would be unreasonable to complain that your system is now "infected" by SELinux because you can't uninstall libselinux1. It's just a library, like many others, and having it on your system doesn't impose policy requirements on you as administrator or user. Yet people are making exactly that argument with systemd, complaining that some systemd library or another is on their system and thereby "infecting" it. Rather than focusing on the more legitimate issue of which packages actually require systemd daemons to be configured/running.
> More proof all religions are crap.

I don't see how that follows.

I don't know of any executable configuration files on any Unix derivatives. There are init scripts, but they are not configuration; they are instructions.

There are scripts with metadata attached (rc.d items) which may be ambiguous but that is no different from a shared library containing an export table or a set of runtime linker dependencies.
Interesting and upvoted even if just a sales pitch.

But a keeping-the-sauce-sectret aproach won't win over techies! We want to know how it works, why it works, what it can do and what it can't do!

My Not So Fancy .vimrc
I never said auto dealerships but the autodealer associations in each state. The associations are the ones that are doing the lobbying on behalf of dealers. IIRC Ford tried to do direct sales to customers in the 90s maybe? The Ford dealers lobbied and shut Ford out.
So, the way to make peace between the camps is to write an implementation of the Mir API that (optionally) uses the Wayland protocol?

Back to the interview: is there actually an answer there to "what is is that Mir does, that Wayland doesn't?". Apart from the protocol versus API thing, and a claim that protocols cannot be versioned easily (PDF files seem a counterexample to me), I can't find it.

I have experienced issues with launchd which do not exist in the components that it replaced (e.g. cron, init, etc).

For example, try setting a cronjob that runs every minute in launchd (e.g. running fetchmail). launchd says, "process exited too quickly" and disables the entry. [I'll note that this was an old example. Hopefully it's been fixed, but it's been far from "just works".]

Ultimately, the biggest issue with copywrong is this: on a rather fundamental level computers operate by copying, not moving. I mean: even the MOV instruction on most (if not all) instruction set copies data without overwriting the original. RAM (tends to) have non-destructive reads. The processor caches everywhere. Etc.

Sure, you could potentially talk about fixation as opposed to temporary copies - but that boundary is fuzzy and getting fuzzier all the time. What happens when the process gets paged to disk? What happens if the process crashes and dumps a crash report? Or worse - when memsistor RAM starts becoming available?

Also, there's a related problem as to whom takes responsibility for a machine doing something. What happens when you walk by a security camera with a copywronged painting? If you visit webpage A that contains an iframe pointing to website B containing copywronged work, who is responsible for the copywrong infringement? Is it you? You own the computer. But you never did anything that you could have known was a violation. Is it the person who wrote your web browser, as they were the person who wrote the instructions to follow iframes? Is it the person who wrote webpage A? But they didn't ever actually do anything infringing - they provided instructions which if followed without checking copywrong restrictions would potentially be a violation.

Personally, the entire idea of "intellectual property" is fundamentally misguided, but that is another matter.

> Can you make it equally secure in software, or can I borrow your phone and "easily" clone you ?

I think we need a TPM-like[1] device for that to work. And I think an iPhone has one of those[2].

Perhaps that is the point: Apple convinced credit card companies to give them "card present"-prices for Touch ID purchases because a Touch ID-enabled device uses special hardware for key storage. Perhaps Apple has convinced mobile carriers to allow them to store private keys for cellular networks in the same place, because of its alleged security.
