No. Apache Mesos was originally developed at the UC Berkeley AMPLab as a research project. Twitter was a very early adopter, who subsequently hired the Mesos author/creator.
I wonder what's really best / possible. Most teams / companies start up homogeneous to some extent. Also, there is plenty of conflicts possible even in a homogeneous team - it's just more clear that assholes are assholes and not just begaving like that because they're racists, homophobes etc.

On the other hand, they often go hand in hand, it's just that the racist will direct his aggressions against someone looking different from themselves if possible (but they're happy to select a random victim if they can't find one)
That's another very good point. One can just as well think of the VisualWorks Smalltalk VM as a compiler (which is actually implemented in Smalltalk) with an interpreter+JIT which also functions as a linker. This means, one can also think of Smalltalk as a compiled language with lots of late binding that makes for a more complicated linker. (JIT) Then the part that's a byte code interpreter can be thought of as an "optimization" on the compiler+linker combination. In fact, if you don't want to bother with flexible debugging, you could implement Smalltalk as a compiled language with "fancy linking" and no interpretation at all.

Any interpreter vs. VM distinction is mostly a social construct. Looked at technically, it's a mishmash.

First of all, thank you to this person who wrote this, this story needs to be told more often.

"I know this: I am not my job. I am not my industry or its stereotypes. I am a black woman who happens to work in the tech industry. I don’t need to change to fit within my industry. My industry needs to change to make everyone feel included and accepted."

Two things i'd say about these points:

1. You don't need to change to fit within your industry, but you do need to be proactive about protecting yourself, your rights, your individuality, etc. You can not expect anyone else to fight for you. Of course your company and its employees should treat your fairly and with respect, but you should never just expect it: you should demand it. And that applies to everyone.

2. No industry will ever make everyone feel included and accepted. Even when there's a perfect racial/gender harmony, or hell, even if it was just all white males! There's still plenty of people left over who feel like they're not being included or accepted. Our industry should work to foster tolerance, acceptance, equality and respect for all people, but they're never going to make everyone feel like they fit in.
Isn't that just Taboo?

Well established within the last year or so.

But yeah, good to have more stuff. We'd still be talking on AT&T rotary dial phones from the 60s if we didn't competition.
>> A median means that half the CS grads made less than 65k.

This is false.

For example, X% could make exactly 65k and only the lower ((100 - X) / 2)% would make less.

...where X \in (0, 100]
This is dumb, you can not compare different projects, of different difficulty, and of different scope together. You also can't isolate the simple randomness factor that different programmers are doing work on each of these, and that could simply be the cause of difference. Also, having a lot of bugs reported, can actually be a sign of a good thing, as opposed to having a lot of bugs not reported.

Anyhow, I don't think this says anything about anything.
France switched from 39 hours to 35 hours per week about 15 years ago. This is still very controversial and right-wings parties would like to somehow revert the change.
It depends if you're trying to maximize top speed. For racing applications, the hull's re-entry (whether nose first or transom first) greatly affects running speed. For catamarans and v-bottom boats alike, a flat water re-entry is the fastest.

The reason this perpetuates is because there is no way to win. Crush this person on legal grounds (good luck if your HR department defends the company and not you) no one will trust you again on your team. Let it ride to go along and get along, you may suffer the reputation of taking it and also have these attacks used to undermine you on the corporate ladder.

Brutal and disgusting.
I would be so happy if I could just get a bug-free open-source NT4. While ReactOS will probably never be a competitor to the most current Windows, surely it will catch up to NT4, given enough time.

Oh! I was wrong. I had gone off of a graph of voter turnout for several different countries (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Turnout.png -- it came up while searching for demographic information on voters), but I'm colorblind, and didn't realize I was associating the wrong lines with the wrong country. Hate when that happens.

US voter turnout has been oscillating between 50% and 65% since about 1904 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voter_turnout_in_the_United_St...), although there is a (very) gradual declining trend.

Thanks for catching that error.
Why are you trying to change human nature? It's in our DNA. What you observed doesn't happen just in Australia, it happens the world over. Just look at your friends, aren't most of your friends the same race as you? why? because you guys have the same language and same culture, you feel more comfortable in that group, you naturally get along better w/ that group. Humans tend to associate w/ others that look like them. No different than the animal kingdom, do you see zebras hanging out w/ horses? Or Giraffe running together w/ Elk? No. Horses gallop along w/ horses, zebras run around w/ other zebras. Humans are the same.

For me, "by far the worst, most disappointing book I've read this year" is pretty much saying "don't read this."

White male engineer here. The isolation described by the author is felt by many, myself included. Obviously the issue is not a problem with my race or sex but one still closely tied to a lack of diversity in these environments. I don't see how any company can claim to be building any component of our future when its environment can scarcely represent some semblance of actual society. The IT industry has a serious "bro problem". A problem felt perhaps most vividly by the minority groups in this industry but also felt, though in a manner that may be harder to describe and even harder to justify, by many of the majority group. I doubt anyone here would want to live in a city that is 80% white male, much less have it build our future societies.

OK, since conversation has moved on, let me be blunt: You don't know what you're talking about. Your physics 101 education is not the end-all, be-all of physics, and what "point" transmission does doesn't matter because we aren't talking about points. You are in no position to be lecturing people about physics; you are in a position to be lectured to about physics.
>"Baker said encrypting user data had been a bad business model for Blackberry, which has had to dramatically downsize its business and refocus on business customers. “Blackberry pioneered the same business model that Google and Apple are doing now - that has not ended well for Blackberry,” said Baker.

Baker is incompetent. Blackberry's primary advantage was its encryption. It branded itself as a business device and supported enterprise use. As bring your own device became mainstream and as the app store markets grew, Blackberry fell behind, failing to deliver the diversity of apps that iOS and Android did. Sales of devices fell and hence they've had to lay off 1000s.

TlDr; Baker has it wrong; Encryption was a business advantage for Blackberry, until access to a diversity of apps mattered more.
Worst is the incompetent manager who failed to address it. Very likely both the manager and offensive employee still are there. People don't realize that their resistance to rock the boat prolong the suffering of others who will come along later.
When you've increased your efficiency you've only freed up time to create additional value. If you don't do it, your competitors will.
It is nice to see that ReactOS are still developing, but I think that their time to make a big impression was 7 years ago. The world has moved on from being a Microsoft-centric place.

Perhaps if the Chinese or Russians decided to use it as an alternative OS, it would have worked?
Oh man, microcorruption is so cool!
My dad thought this was so cool back in the 60s, he actually dismantled a Selectric to determine if he could use it as an input keyboard for a desktop electromechanical computing device he worked on at Xerox.
"As explained live/work was only built on non-residential land - residential units were created and none were destroyed."

No. You're wrong. The quote explicitly says that the developer bought out a whole block, and kicked people out of private residences, in addition to converting warehouses. This was not the only occasion where that happened.
I never really looked at it - I guess it's time to finally try it. Thanks.
Nice, speed, memory and performance wise is ReactOS more efficient then XP or nlited XP on virtualbox or qemu? For example, if efficient you could run it on a cheap android tablet onder bochs, qemu or dosbox and use it as a workstation if lxde/xfce linux would not be good enough.
They have waaaaaaay more marketing than OpenStack. They've probably written and sponsored more PR fluff than code for Docker. And it's easier to deploy.

Ask HN: Is there a hiring season for tech companies?

Are there seasonal trends in hiring for tech companies?
Do Indians have similar negative experiences working in predominantly white IT teams? I have many Indian friends that work in all-white teams, in middle America, as well as in the Bay Area. Are they keeping their complaints bottled up, or do they have a fundamentally different experience?
This.

As for most security cases, the best security is at the network level. Endpoint protection can protect after detection, while a good firewall will burn anything that moves in the wrong way.
I currently have 6 bare-metal boxes on SoftLayer and 4 managed boxes with Rackspace. I think both are great but both have their pros and cons. You're mainly looking at a cost vs support trade-off.

COST

My 6 SoftLayer servers cost half of my 4 RS servers. So SoftLayer wins on cost. Also, Rackspace prefers contracts so keep that in mind. Don't be afraid to negotiate with them either.

SUPPORT

Rackspace on the other hand, excels with regards to support. You can call Rackspace at any time if you have an issue. They also seem to be more proactive with monitoring and preventative stuff (they will call you and say "Hey, this thing was failing so I fixed it"), whereas SoftLayer's monitoring is robotic and they don't do anything unless you file a ticket. RS also provides managed backup and it's been great for us (keep in mind we do traditional hosting, not a multi-tenant app).

I've only had one major incident with SoftLayer (swapping out a RAID controller went bad and resulted in 6ish hours of downtime). No major incidents with Rackspace. So, Rackspace wins on support.

OTHER

Both have multiple data centers and performance seems great (though I don't have actual benchmarks to prove that). Most of our servers are in Dallas.

One thing I like about SoftLayer is you can get things up faster. A new server is setup real quick (within hour(s)) whereas Rackspace can take a couple days.

SWAG

I have 2 Rackspace t-shirts and 2 SoftLayer t-shirts. So, that's a toss up :)
Not to mention the news that Blackberry started giving Indian and Saudi Arabia governments access to their encrypted data actually hurt Blackberry's image in enterprise.

Also some countries are banning US tech companies now not because they encrypt stuff but because they give access to the US government to their citizens' data (including officials). Maybe it's true maybe it's not, but they have the right to question it and protect against it. If companies had end-to-end encryption and even they couldn't look at the data, I have a feeling those officials would trust them a little more.

I also find it hilarious that Baker is straight out suggesting "we should be more like China" when it comes to surveillance. How is he not being laughed out of the building?
I track a bunch of data on many of the providers mentioned here if you're still unsure.

>in realizing that there may actually be value in some of the BSing

I don't know if this is the conclusion to take away. The OP of this topic is an example of where meaning and relevance does exist for design decisions, and can lead to a very thoughtful conclusion.

The Pepsi one, in contrast, is just applying as many functions/transforms on a problem, and hoping some of the results look OK.

TAO is used in place of memcached. You don't ask TAO for a whole list and place it into memcached. You ask TAO for "give me 50 items starting from position 0 in the list", and the TAO cache keeps this list in sorted order.
In the eighties my parents moved to an all-black neighborhood in an apartment complex. I felt like such an outsider and scared. I got into fights (full on punching). I was between 6-7 years old and actually wanted to be black because they did not have to get a tan like I did!

But I was starting to build a dislike for them. Thankfully my mom set me straight. She let me know that when groups of the same people get together they have trouble with someone who is different. We were the minority. My mom never allowed me to be racist. I thank her so much for that.

A world with all women in charge would be abusing men. A world with all purple people in charge would be abusing whites. A world with 50% on one side and 50% on the other ... would be a world in constant conflict. Humanity is not (as you might have been told) "basically good".

The source of racism, anger, war ... is people.
The article has a pretty clear agenda:

Moreover, articles that "don't try to further an agenda" are often furthering and normalizing the status-quo.

The demonstration that air resistance is the cause of the difference in fall duration is what you gain from this. You don't get to remove air resistance from the equation in any other way. It's easy for an ignorant person to assume there's no way air, something we "feel" no resistance from in our daily lives, would be able to fight the force of gravity to such a degree. This experiment makes that concept clear, where dropping a stick and a lead pipe from equal height would not.

I think a lot of people ignore the fact that the ReactOS and Wine projects have a symbiotic relationship. Work on ReactOS will lead to improvements on Wine, and vice versa.

So it's still a useful project for the common user, even if the final product of a fully functional Windows NT clone is still far from being realized.

But actually - there's another, even more interesting use for ReactOS that I'm surprised has yet to be attempted.

A lot of people seem to praise the NT kernel on an architectural level for its microkernel-like features and object system, but it's buried between the cruft that forms the rest of the Windows stack. A free software reimplementation like ReactOS could actually allow for people to exploit the untapped potential of the NT kernel by fusing it with other userlands. Think in the vein of GNU/kFreeBSD. Perhaps a FreeDOS one? Either way, the novelty value is certainly high.
Thanks! How working for consulting companies is better?
You make it seem that gifted children lack social skills. We don't, however, you spend a lot of time with other gifted kids and types of behaviors that provide social currency in that circle may not do so in circles with non-gifted individuals. This is why I'd prefer gifted programs not exist.

Artificially concentrating smart kids in a group and then scattering them into the world is pretty counterproductive. I mean, it makes the school district look good ("We have 120 high-IQ students in the county! Stellar exam scores! We're fantastic!"), and at the end of the day, that's all the matters. The school system doesn't care much what happens after the students have left it.
Blackberry is suddenly the posterchild for encryption? I thought Blackberry is this service where all your mail and communication is routed in cleartext through their services, a workaround from the days of 1G that they simply never got around to get rid of before smartphones flattened their business.

That is not encryption, if anything it is the direct opposite.
I apologize if my tone implied that your question was illegitimate. I thought that someone reading your comment might think that IC engines do not lose efficiency in low temperatures.

As a white male, I have my own related experience to share: I'm the only foreigner on my team that is otherwise completely Chinese (in China, so that makes sense); my whole lab has maybe a handful of foreigners, who, even though not homogeneous in the least, are at least bound together by our foreign-ness.

We generally feel a lack of belonging; some of us try to fit in and are successful at it, but some of us just live with it. Our management team really does try to help out, but there is also some pressure to participate in lab-wide activities that leads to tension (e.g. no, I don't really want to sing, dance at the gala this year). While working, side conversations are often in Chinese (I speak Chinese better than most of us, but still not enough to participate very well), and there are all sorts of comical culture shock experiences even after being here for 7 years. And really, what can be expected when the workplace is 90%+ one way? I think our lab handles it as best as it can.

Here is the twist: there is no pressure to assimilate because well, I could never be Chinese. But back in the states (or even Europe), I don't feel like I really fit in either despite matching the ethnic and gender standard. There is not much to match me to my colleagues, and there is a lot of pressure to assimilate since at first glance, I should be able to.

Your claim, condensed: assume a safe nuclear reactor design. Therefore, we can design safe nuclear reactors!

This is dumb enough that I'm not sure what response you're looking for.
complaints that it's unreadable are unfounded

Not exactly. You have to remember that language and compiler design require a LOT of work and experience to understand, and that many programmers will only see this as, frankly, spaghetti.

I think it could have used some more block comments, but that's just me.
