That's a much better post on the subject.

What can't be said often enough is that whether the founders will stay or go makes a huge difference in the valuation usually. If you value your freedom, you should accept a significantly lower price (think long and hard about it), as founders leaving will increase the risk for the buyer.

Another thing worth mentioning (happened to us): a change of ownership will stir up trouble in the company, so expect some people (troublemakers usually) to leave or cause other problems (we've had downright refusal to do particular work well within the bounds of their jobs, simply because the previous bosses had done these things themselves).

In any case, sealing the deal is only half the work, expect a lot more hassle in the year or so after that.

I was thinking most obviously of generics. The go standard library is full of generic collections, but you're not allowed to use generics in your own code.
Interesting, I never considered my reliance on meta-data to place events in time to be a symptom of anything. I thought that was just how memory works.

You mean to say people normally remember approximately how long ago something happened? Like, not just from "Ok so event X happened, and it couldn't have happened before event Y, and Y relates to Z that I know for a fact happened in so and so year, so I think X happened D months/years ago"

Similarly, I have never been able to remember a name, but I can always remember a face for forever. To the point that I will see random people in the street and wont' be able to tell if I only saw them once randomly in the street or I went to high school with them.

Remembering conversations, hah, funny. People actually remember those more than just the two or three key takeaways?

Funnily I can almost always remember my dreams to the point that I usually can't tell the difference between dream memories and real memories.

The practice originally seemed to be in place to give discretion to officer to deal with druglords and people like that since proving everything is court is very hard, but since the incentives are all wrong(departments keep the proceeds), it seems to be quite abused.

A quick fix would be to use the proceeds for charity or to pay down the national debt. That way the incentives are atleast reduced somewhat.

I don't see how that follows. My understanding of net neutrality was that the source of the packet couldn't be allowed to affect the delivery of the packet.

In this case, if the satellite connection is more expensive, the user will pay that higher cost. The price is for the uplink, not depending on what bits flow across it.

How is that at all affected by net neutrality?

This is where the warm fuzzy blankets of inalienable rights and equal treatment start to fray.

The police officers have a right to work in a safe (as far as possible) environment. That means the aggressive/resisting prisoner is cuffed whilst being booked, with no shoes. Your next choice is to either treat all prisoners like the aggressive one, or to allow officers to use judgement as to when someone needs to be restrained heavily.

Equality is a fine goal, but in reality it results in everyone getting treated poorly in this context.

Ehm.. so.. GNOME wants our help now. But how did they behave when GNOME 3 was announced to not work without systemd? Or hey, anyone remember that discussion on a GNOME developers' mailing list, where they planned to take out theming support, because "it is going against the ubiquitous experience we envision GNOME 3 to be"?

This smells fishy to me. (I said it more harshly, but realised that I went too far, sorry about that.)

Feel free to shoot holes in my theory.
Glenn Beck's article reeks of a promotional piece and I am somewhat skeptical of the reporting of his medical symptoms. It's like 'telephone' where a lot is lost in transmitting the information, because it doesn't sound reasonable to me that a physician would say any of the things he said. For example, you always hear the whole, "You've got x number of years to live," but in reality almost no physician I've ever worked with would say something like that. They will give you data in cancer survival for example, but someone with an undefined illness as he describes could not be given a prognosis! And then the moment he refrences this 'healing center' that performs 'miracles' my alarms were going off. I think you need to also consider that a lot of the symptoms he was supposedly showing are commonly seen in facticious or somatization disorder.

Open up his medical record to scrutiny by other physicians and let me see the data, otherwise I am very doubtful of his 'facts.'

Ask HN: What will creativity look like in the future with the rise of AI?
There's no doubt that computer programs will be able to create fine art in a very close future (it already does on a small-scale).
We could, for example, imagine a program that would take a few images as input (environment artwork, characters artwork, ...) and build a full animation movie out of it, with plot, music and the rest only by clicking a "Generate" button. And this is only a short-sighted vision future.

What would it imply for us ? Where will this lead us ?

Intimidated, sure, but not necessarily because of height. I am tall, but so are quite a few of our employees (6ft+). English doesn't have anything to do with it for most, either.

This is really tough to build, though, in a culture where job hopping is expected, inflation has been through the roof, and employees generally hold very little loyalty for their employers.

The disadvantage of C++ templates is the structural type is implicit - you only know if the input object satisfies the type if you read the documentation, code, or can decipher the error message that occurs if it didn't.

This example shows once again that CSS is not a good declarative language: it provokes hacking. In this case, a hack has to be applied in every instance where this is needed.

Instead, if CSS were developed by actual language designers, it would have been possible to write this as a modularized thing, completely hiding the actual implementation.
Not, what I've seen here in previous BTC discussions. But that's just my opinion, I might very well be wrong.
Is that really how it works in practice? There's no legal system with any real international jurisdiction. I'd have thought if state actors were going to be "held accountable" it would be done diplomatically, and that non-state actors would be held to account by the states in which they reside.

Docker is written by developers of which there are too many. But it sucks to many of us who are sysadmins. Docker's networking isn't all that, and the storage is basically just nifty because of already-existent tech like AFS and BTRFS.

I think docker is nothing more than a hype from a new generation who wants everything hip, simple, fun, fantastic and awesuummm and the older and more experienced sysadmins like me have seen this coming years ago. It was inevitable, and now it's just a matter of waiting until the lazy generation finds out what we've been seeing all along: Docker is an abstraction of other technologies and you don't need Docker at all.

How so? Nothing about it has struck me as being particularly unusual.
The standard units, as in units defined by various international standards like ISQ are B/s and b/s. bps is defined to mean b/s. Note that there is no Bps in any ISQ standard. The only reason b/s has an bps alias is to reduce confusion. Greater hamming distance means less potential for confusion.

Now you want to add the confusion back. Luckily, units are standardised by international bodies, not individuals, and the industry seems to be happy with the standards and uses them. Very seldom I have seen kBps (and in the few cases where I have seen it, it was wrong anyway). kb/s, while correct, I have only seen used by mistake, or by malice (e.g. ISPs intentionally misleading customers). Luckily, most professionals agree on only using B/s and bps, and no other combination, correct or not.

I don't think it works like that. If one of Elon's Satellites get hit (intentionally or not) by a Russian/Chinese missile/satellite... I don't think SpaceX has any realistic way to enforce rights.

Multi Cloud Docker – Krane
For the last months I have been working on a side project within my company for the management of Docker instances across multiple clouds. Today I would like to annouce the first alpha version of Krane (www.krane.io).

Krane is built on the Docker code base, so supports the existing Docker command-line in a multi-cloud environment. This allows Docker users to use their existing workflows to launch apps transparently in multiple clouds, saving time and further reducing the friction of moving workloads between development, QA and production.

Eventually we'd like to get upstream Krane into the Docker code base. The patch itself is relatively small (a few hundred lines of code). It's written 100% in Go, and is released under the Apache 2.0 licence.

Krane can currently do all commands displayed in the tutorial. We have intention of adding more commands to the list over time.

We are aware that there has recently been an announcement around multicloud management in Docker - see:
https://github.com/docker/docker/issues/8681
https://github.com/bfirsh/docker/tree/host-management

We're keen to work with the Docker community to integrate the two ideas or give back our code to them.

You can learn more about Krane here: http://www.krane.io/
The code is on Github here: https://github.com/krane-io/krane

I have a hard time believing that Groupon didn't do their due dilligence on the trademark search.
I'm fully with you - there are many great solutions out there. I'm pretty convinced that the next version of Windows will be almost free (license cost) in the corporate environment (with private users it comes pre-installed already and you don't get a discount if you don't take it). I expect that MS's selling proposition will be around the ease of maintenance with existing know-how and better integration around virtualisation / cloud services with MS Windows.

One of the reasons MS is so successful within the (higher) education sector is the general risk avoidance of ITC management in these institutions (in the UK, central government wants cloud services so cloud are being implemented) and being driven by revenue-based investment vs CapEx - MS caters directly for that with their packaging and existing framework contracts already in place. One example - currently you get a US$100k StorSimple appliance from MS for free / paid soft via 1 year Azure services cost for scale-out storage service e.g. to replace shared drives (yes many universities still use them).

The other area where MS has done their home work is with EU Data Protection laws / DPA in the UK where they negotiated a full turn-key framework with JaNet that allows universities to be compliant without going to another 6m-1y assessment as they currently still have to do with Google.

Have a look at http://linuxgizmos.com/stick-computer-runs-on-quad-core-atom... to see what I meant with sticks plugged into the monitor - guess these certainly can be called commodity end user devices.

> I never remember my dreams

It was my understanding (and maybe this is incorrect) that someone only remembers their dreams if they wake up during them. Therefore, not remembering them could just be a sign you've had a good, uninterrupted night's sleep. Anecdotally, this seems to be the case for me–I remember my dreams if I'm woken up e.g. by a car alarm but never if I wake up normally.

That's mighty nice of Groupon to drop money on 28 trademark applications just so the GNOME Foundation (who incidentally do more than make the GNOME desktop environment) can boost their end of year donations. They even managed to get Debian and Fedora in on it too!

But really, it must be pretty disheartening to see people accuse your organisation of running a scam, just because they don't like design decisions a number of developers on a handful of your products made. Especially when the software in question has nothing to do with the discussion.
Oh, so that's completely the opposite of what I've thought. Nice idea, too bad that I personally hate browsing clothes, would be more keen to choose from outfits pre-approved by girls my age.

Regardless of what you think of GNOME, it's still a pretty slimy thing for Groupon to do. That kind of behaviour may be worth opposing on principle.

"First they came for Gnome, and I did not speak out..."
Trademarks aren’t universal; they are divided into classifications e.g. market segments. Just because the name is the same, doesn't mean the PTO will think of them as being in the same space.
The very point of an interface is to decouple the caller from all the implementation specifically because it will work differently between implementation. If you expect two classes to implement it the same way, you an abstract base, not an interface.

Close is a particularly good example. One need only look at C#'s IDisposable to see that it does, in fact, work well. A mock might noop it, another class might close an FD, and yet another might make an RPC call.

I agree that interfaces tend to have fairly narrow family tree. And, by this narrowness, there's little ambiguity about what T GetById(id int) means. As the tree expands, which happens with implicit interfaces, ambiguity is more likely. Nevertheless, there's a fairly large common vocabulary that we'd all largely agree on. Closer, Reader, Writer, Logger, etc. Even in more complex ones, I see little risk of confusion, say, http.ResponseWriter. And, something that I've noticed from Go (which I never did in C# or Java), is the tendency to favor very small interfaces, which ends up being pretty awesome.

That aside, consider that implicit interfaces allow the consumer to define the interface. For example, you create a library that has a concrete struct called MyStruct with a method called DoStuff(). You define no interface because you don't need one.

I, a consumer of your library, need an interface because in some cases I'm using your MyStruct to DoStuff and in other cases, I'm using my own implementation. So I create an interface, define DoStuff(), and BAM!, your structure now implements my interface. I don't have to change your code.

Sure, the workaround is to wrap your structure in my own which implements the interface. But how, in this case, is the implicit interface not a huge win?

Maybe, as you say, it'll screw over people who use it poorly. For everyone else, I see no drawbacks.
