Airware (YC W13) is building commercial drones in downtown SF
Airware's next-generation commercial (non-military) drone platform extends beyond flight-related hardware and software. Giving drone operators online access to data, video, and images is a critical element of transforming drones from flying robots into viable business tools. We have multiple opportunities to play a leading role in architecting, implementing, and deploying an innovative web-based management system that is tightly integrated with sophisticated autonomous aerial technology.

There are exactly two things that always dissuade me from using desktop linux:

1. The font rendering is bad on linux. Especially non-anti-aliased monospace fonts, for some reason, which is what I spend 90% of my day looking at.

2. Multimonitor support is a real pain to configure, whereas on OS X you just plug and go. I have cinema displays at home and at work, and I move around between them a lot. That's really painful on linux.
"Docker is broken and can't be fixed"

Or, taking the announcement as intended, "We were interested in the direction Docker started in, they have since pivoted. We were more interested in the direction than Docker itself".

Yes, there is some mild-mannered disparagement in the announcement, but it's hard to characterise it as 'slinging mud', and it's not really fair to disparage it with the name-calling you're injecting.

Careful is a good way of putting it.

The best thing for you to do is build a list of people and reach out to them asking them to try the app. You then use that group of people to gather data about the product. Also ask the people to refer their friend.

Money.

Google splits advertising revenue with browsers that send users to Google (to some degree). Mozilla made a good deal of money from their relationship with Google, but for several reasons (that include Chrome and no payment for truly anonymous searches) Mozilla decided to jump ship - but they still need that sweet search $.

Yahoo! is likely paying well. I can't imagine DDG could come close to competing with the money Yahoo! or Google could pay.
Go has a couple wonky conventions, but it's a very very simple system. Once you accept and learn to deal with the GOPATH quirks, that's pretty much the only tooling weirdness in the whole ecosystem.
Todoist is hands down my favorite. It has integration with lots of other software (Gmail, Outlook for Windows, Postbox, Chrome, etc..).

Do you have an Operations function in your organisation? As really DevOps is development and operations working together to meet business goals.

If you do have an Operations person, you should be working together on things like how you can improve the deployment process to make it easy for new software to get into production.

If you don't have an Operations person, then you will have to bridge that gap. And that means learning what things make software operable - logging, monitorability, availability, resilience etc.

Web Operations, Continuous Delivery, Release It are three good starting points.

I gave a talk at Devops Days Brisbane on How to Design and Develop Software for Operations. I don't claim it to be complete but it comes from years of experience supporting critical applications

IMHO, writing a good program goes through lot of thought process. You keep thinking about the solution of same problem till you get the best solution (or at least you are satisfied with it). So it is going to take some time. But I guess after having some experience, you will find a way to create well designed code more quickly than before.
> I paid for the research with my tax payer money. Give me full access to it.

though I have a similar desire I don't think that's a good argument for justifying it. why? evaluate the following symmetrical situations:

> I paid for the [tank, aircraft carrier, nukes, Fort Knox, etc] with my tax payer money. Therefore...

that said, I do think there's a greater net benefit to humanity, and scientific progress will accelerate, the easier, cheaper and less restrictive access we have to papers and research results.

Thanks-
Free solution that worked for me: Set up a free account on cloudflare.com, duplicate all dns records (thankfully I have a simple setup)... but next time I will keep a backup zone file!

FYI - Instead of an Alias record on DNSimple, CloudFlare will allow a CNAME record for the root domain using "CNAME flattening".

You can now set CloudFlare's DNS service to "bypass Cloudfare" on all records by clicking the icon so you don't get any of their magic (unless you want it).

Then add CloudFlare's 2 nameserves to your domain as your first 2 name servers. No need to remove dnsimple's name servers.

Now you have 2 DNS providers in case one fails, just make sure the records are the same across them both!
That looks like it's a recreation, though. Shouldn't it be possible to create an Emscripten port of the original? :)

I hope he writes about wechat's grouping function, which is taking off like crazy now.

Group: In a normal chat, you can unilaterally add people to create a group, and it is permanent, and can be named. The creator has kick privileges, but anyone can add more people. So when people have dinner, they'll just add everyone they want to invite and then send the invite, maps, etc. to the group. Then during/after the event, everybody will send photos. Invitees can also add their own people to the group. I have current groups for weekly dinners, old parties, meetups, and work. It's way easier to set up and does much more than google+ / email / whatever it's replacing.

Some groups (for birthdays, etc.) stay around forever, as that person's social hub. Our work group sees a lot of use.

Once a group gets big you can't force-add people (they have to accept invites when the group is 40+). There are also some very touchy issues with leaving - when you leave the whole group gets a message, so people feel stuck in groups, or have to think carefully about how to get out gracefully.

I think this is what google hangouts / wave were meant to be. Not much management required, and unrelated people can be brought in, so it's under many people's control.

It probably won't happen in China, but I'd love to see anonymous messaging groups - you can see who's in the group but not who sent every message. Sort of like 4chan, and another way to allow more people to contribute; it'd also pull out things you won't be able to find out otherwise.
If you enjoyed this story, I recommend the documentary "Nuclear Dynamite" - detailing a time when the world thought nukes would be very handy to use as construction devices - i.e for excavating canals, building artificial lakes, etc.

At one point, they were planning to "dig" the Panama Canal using nukes...

This problem is often referred to as user enumeration, which seems like a misnomer to me.

Whatever you call it, it's good to keep in mind that Google, Apple, Facebook, and Twitter are vulnerable.

The most interesting facet to user enumeration is privacy. If Alice knows Bob's e-mail address, is it right that she can easily check with Carol's web system to see if Bob has an account with Carol? This is like calling a hotel and asking if a certain person is staying there. It leaks information confirming that two parties have a relationship.

What makes the privacy aspect especially interesting is that user enumeration is a bigger problem for small websites than for the Googles and Facebooks. This is because it's not much of a privacy breach to be able to test if a given e-mail address is on Facebook; big whoop, almost everyone is. But it's a much bigger breach to be able to test if a person is a customer of an illicit service. Most systems sit somewhere between those two extremes, and each needs to decide whether to prevent user enumeration.

The main point the author tries to make is quite matter-of-fact: If you are going to try to prevent user enumeration, then you have to do it for real, which usually results in less friendly account creation and password recovery systems.
This worked for us - moved the DNS to Cloudflare, kept the domain at DNSimple
To put it another way, it's far less time-consuming to edit a Word document than it is to update an entire production system.
Cool. Do you need a provider that supports 'zone transfers'? Or is that only to keep things in sync automatically?

I'm an all-around programmer interested in different technologies and languages.
I became a freelancer over 2 years ago, left home in Russia, relocated to South East Asia and since then have been learning as much as I could and had to working full-time.
As a freelancer, I learned I could come up with the zinger of a solution to a problem I have if it could be solved at all. And I'm the one who is repsonsible for it.

I'm also stoked about functional programming, finance and IT security.
A great deal of research funded by such organizations is done in combination with taxpayer funding, particularly with regard to infrastructure. As a cancer researcher I had funding from companies and foundations, but depended on my position in a tax-payer funded research lab to actually do the work.

Interesting. Which SDN are you using?
I like DDG too but I bet thay can't afford to pay Mozilla enough to survive. Google was paying them close to $300 million. Hopefully Yahoo can afford something similar or Mozilla will need to cut back on spending.

Long-term given the switch to mobile where FireFox is almost nonexistent (and to a lesser degree their decline in desktop market share) they may need to cut back if they can't find new sources of funds.

Pretty interesting article. Interestingly, they never discussed: how would you find a submarine to bomb in the first place? There's a great book called "Blackett's War" [0] that discusses how Patrick Blackett [1], an experimental physicist, helped the allies win WWII in a variety of ways, most notably by answering that question using statistics to better inform aerial bombardment of German U-boats. Blackett is the father of what is now known as "operations research" [2]. The book is absolutely worth reading if you have the time.

That's not a very good comparison, as those are all rival goods, and furthermore have obvious negative externalities (IE are dangerous). I can't think of a non-rival government-funded good (without harmful externalities) that would NOT make sense to to make freely available.

Edit: Oh hey, I'm being downvoted for an opinion. Sitting at -1 right now.
I would really enjoy an annotation system like genius.com

How that might work in a scholarly setting I'm not sure. The melting pot of commentary and feedback that can surround a paper is something that individual reviews will always struggle to capture, but is easily achieved with an annotated copy.

Whilst background and detailed investigation may be left out of sections of a paper, or are assumed knowledge for the target audience, annotations allow casual readers to engage with the content and the author beyond what is appropriate in the published form.

It would be interesting to see genius.com introduce a science section, or perhaps just more science sections (they have law, history, literature etc already), but the format doesn't immediately gel with how papers are currently published. A pdf annotation system might be the best bet for now.
Vitamin K should be considered here as well. K1 is found in leafy greens, while K2 is found in meat and poultry (liver is a super source), and natto.
Do you have an example of something you think is horrible? This particular article is extremely technical or "low level," and is beyond what most people would call "music theory," so I wouldn't make too many conclusions just from this article. Most people use "music theory" to refer to music notation systems and some theory about composition, harmony, and rhythm, but seldom diving so deep into the physics and psychology behind interval and pitch perception.

Personally, I find most music terminology to be fairly decent, but I grew up with it, so perhaps I'm the type of person you describe. There is some ambiguity in terminology, some of which is inherent in the dual usage of certain harmonies (is it an A minor 7th flat 5, or a C minor 6th?), and some of which is simply the historical result of competing notations (is it a diminished 7th or a minor 7th flat 5?). However, I think most of the terminology is at least somewhat self-hinting, and the weird random names are few enough to be memorized or looked up when needed (like all the Italian words to notate dynamics and tempo). It certainly doesn't seem particularly worse than the terminology used in, say, computer science or computer programming.
