Wonderful. We just containerized all of our apps and are in the process of choosing our approach for running and deploying them in a cluster.

Now what?

Flynn? Deis? Kubernetes? Mesos? Shipyard? Pure Fig instead? CoreOS, Serf, Maestro? Rather stay on AWS with Elastic Beanstalk or the new docker service?

Welcome to the party, Swarm and Compose. By now we are not even sure anymore if Docker itself is still the way to go, now that Rocket and LXD have arrived. I don't even have the time to compare all these options, respectively get a deeper look into architectural considerations.

What to decide by? Company backing? Because it's good or bad? Github stars? Deis for self-announcing it's 1.0, even if it's based on pre1.0 components or Flynn for being honest they're still in beta?

Honestly, I've rarely been as tired of new technologies as I have been by now. I could roll a dice as well. If you have a good and reasonable choice for me, let me know (I'm actually serious)

The angular-bootstrap and angular-foundation projects have existed for quite some time. Is there some sort of ember equivalent?

In these projects they are rewriting much of the javascript / jquery components as angular directives. The CSS/Sass/Less is unchanged. I assume much of the same could be done in an ember based project.
"slightly off-putting" Argh, we are in a forum, this is communication deprived of non-verbal cues. Just focus on the intent and the information. I think shykes deserves more than judging of his tone. I also think it is cool he is hanging out here managing (mis)information. Are you all jealous or something? You have the chance to ask anything you want to someone who is the driving force behind a project of which the implications are hard to overestimate. And you find his tone off-putting.

I'm just a biologist but if any of the big names in my field (say, Hans Clevers, is that a stretch?) would be approachable on a forum, man that would great!!

Can someone teach me basic things to program on mobile platforms?
Hello everyone. I just wanted to know if there is an easy way to become a programer on Android and iOS. One of my goals in life is becoming a nice programmer and I would like to start on mobile platforms so, as far as now I just now a bit of C++ and I friend of mine recommended me this page so I was hoping someone here could help me with this. Thanks in advance!!!
> while neglecting the design of the power plant itself

I think what hosay123 is trying to say is that LXC is the power plant and the tooling around it is Docker, which runs in userspace. Note I'm not trying to say that, I'm just saying things.
Then you should make it more clear that you're just asking people not to make a Wordpress plugin from it and it's not part of the license. Right now that is not clear at all.

Mh, I saw the notice that it changed hands but somehow it didn't click that the issues were older... sorry about that then, and great to hear that it now has an active maintainer! Good luck with it!

The Mystery of the Missing Martins [video]
In all fairness, here are 2 points from their submission guidelines...

* News articles that do not contain the word "Bitcoin" are
usually off-topic. This subreddit is not about general
financial news.
* Submissions that are mostly about some other
cryptocurrency belong elsewhere. For example,
/r/CryptoCurrency is a good place to discuss all
cryptocurrencies.

So it seems that if you submit something that isn't bitcoin-related, you should /expect/ that it will get downvoted, or moderated.
Thanks, I missed this addition!

So there are even two moving targets - the LEDs' lower wavelength and different humans' higher wavelength.
Major public transport lines are decided based on how people travel. It would be safe to say that a well designed system would cater to 80% of the distance I travel on any given day. That leaves 20% for ride sharing if I don't feel like walking for 15 minutes.

So I purchased a nice toyota for about $15,000 about 4 years back. 600 miles per month, 25 mpg, about $100 on gas every month, about $1200 every year. Assuming that I use this car for another year, I paid out $3000 for every year + $1200 on gas=$4200 /year (I'm sure my car will last far more than 5 years).
Uber is about a dollar per mile. So every month I would have to pay $600, every year about $7200. You could try and hook me up with another person traveling the exact same route, but that is going to be a very uncertain thing even if you have the relevant technology. Even a small degree of uncertainty will lead me to buy a car.

Now if I used public transport, I would pay less than $1000/year. Plus, there wouldn't be much uncertainty. I think the world would be a much more efficient place if we tried to make the $1000 ride more convenient/efficient, than if we tried to bring down the cost of a $7200 ride (although I hope they can do it, would love to see how they do it).

I never said ride sharing is all doom and gloom, I'm just saying it will have a smaller space in terms of number of people traveling.
An interpreter is a box that takes code in some programming language and executes it. A compiler is a box that takes code is some programming language and translates it into another programming language.

Traditionally, the twain ne'er did meet. However, many (most?) modern interpreters include a compiler as part of their implementation. Using a compiler in this manner is "Just in Time" (JIT) compilation.

So a box that takes Clozure Common Lisp and converts it to machine code is a compiler.

A box that takes Clozure Common Lisp, feeds it into this compiler to obtain machine code, and executes this machine code immediately, is an interpreter, using JIT compilation to do its interpretation.
How Will Augmented Reality Change Our Lives?
I'm amused because LINQ is basically a query monad, and can easily be implemented in terms of lazy lists and the standard functional operations on collections. I would think something like this would be built in to the collection library.

Oh come on, you are being just as ridiculous the other way. "Domain name investor". Clearly, you knew what the OP meant by squatter as you took the time to admonish him multiple times for no reason. It's a common phrase used on the web and it definitely has a different meaning than the legal term squatter. Just because you don't like the term doesn't change its meaning and using the legal definition is just another pointless argument tactic. This moral high ground argument is just as tired as the people calling them squatters....

tldr: Wozniak built the Apple I and Apple II. He's proud of it. Jobs turned it into a business.

No actual "myth" is debunked.

(If the alleged "myth" is that they "started the company in a garage", then the myth is confirmed but downplayed - they did use the Jobs garage but mostly as a staging area and quickly outgrew it.)
Okay, would like to read it.

However, on my screen, called 14",
about 12.5" wide,
the text is about 100 characters
per line in about 7.5" for about
13.33 characters per inch horizontally.

Then with two pair of strong reading glasses
and my nose 5" from the screen, I can
barely read the text.

A shame because about half the width of the
screen is given over to just a table of
contents with mostly blank space.

Maybe if I had a video screen 4 feet wide?

More generally, yes, I know, there is a lot
of careful, sophisticated, deep work in
user interface, but for the OP pages
I'd like to see only about 60
characters per line and about
6 characters per inch horizontally.
About 8 characters per inch is
my upper limit.

Sure if my screen were twice as wide, then
I could get the present 13 characters
per inch down to 7.5, but these days
with laptops and tables, screens 25"
inches wide are not near the 'median'.

13 characters per inch I just can't read
without a lot of effort.

Generally, in Web screens, we are free to use
about all the length we want but should
be very careful about using up screen
width.

In my start-up, each screen is just
800 pixels wide with high contrast and
large fonts, about 25 pixels high on
lines 35 pixels high.

Here I'd like to encourage Web page
designers to use larger fonts, narrower
pages, and fewer characters per line.

tl;dr - "The garage is a bit of a myth. We did no designs there, no breadboarding, no prototyping, no planning of products. We did no manufacturing there. The garage didn’t serve much purpose, except it was something for us to feel was our home. We had no money. You have to work out of your home when you have no money."

Basically. Unfiltered outputs from the connection machine based on environmental triggers, past memories, previously consumed culture, random hardwiring in the individual etc etc. These outputs have meaning and can be very interesting, and can have a strong and broad context embedded in them but one that is hard to pinpoint. In a word - mysterious.

People also have varyingly interesting random generators. The artist's consciousness is absolutely not necessary for art to be interesting.

Very interesting project and direction for Foundation. Now uses angular directives instead of jQuery "PlugIns" has YAML defined routes and animation through ui-router, flexbox based grid. If you have been using Foundation for a while and are interested or using Angular you should definitely take a look at this project.

"It doesn't allow free crossing between an (imperative + mutable) world and a (value-centric + immutable) world, no. It, instead, allows for clear boundaries to be set between the two and each to be embedded into the other."

I wasn't saying you couldn't set boundaries; you have them implicitly simply by dint of the fact that in Scala, mutable/immutable is based on the type, and the type system is enough to enforce that. But now you have a performance penalty being introduced based on who works on a given part of the code, and one that can easily compound.

"It's not a license for the imperative programmer to do whatever they want---it's a license for them to solve problems in the way they prefer within a particular ensconced region."

But for the imperative programmer to know what not to do he/she has to understand functional coding, and choose to eschew certain techniques that might be viewed as acceptable from a purely imperative perspective.

Please note, I didn't say you -can't- do it. Just that it's asking for trouble, and that either you have to understand both paradigms or you suffer a performance penalty (converting from mutable to immutable and vice versa). And that if you ever want to touch someone else's code you have to be familiar with the paradigm. Not proficient, but enough to realize what you have to do to be able to interact with it properly/safely, that that requires a broader depth of knowledge on the part of each team member than if you picked one paradigm, and that leaving them to know only their paradigm will not work. The imperative person has to figure out higher order functions, working with immutable data structures, etc, to make use of some of the stuff the functional guy has written, and the functional guy has to be comfortable with destructive updates, side effects, etc, to be able to make use of what the imperative guy has written. Yes, they both can interface with the other, but what they have to know is much broader, and every time they interact you risk bugs and performance penalties that you'd not have if you picked one paradigm alone.

Brendan Iribe, CEO of Oculus is quoted in this article as saying, "We really are preaching and pushing for stationary experiences and very, very little to no locomotion."

That's what I came up with, too. But it's still coupled: you can't "go back to a previous version of an app without having to also figure out what schema changes need to be made", post-validation, anyway.
The paper is clearly written, read it if you can.
The idea that this is somehow motivated by unselfish interests by Zuckerberg or FB is laughable. It's not about getting people online, it's about getting them on FB. It's not clear if Time is aware of this distinction. They misinterpret this as philanthropy.

>First, you look at a particular geographical region that’s underserved, Internet-wise, and figure out what content might be compelling enough to lure its inhabitants online. Then you gather that content up, make sure it’s in the right language and wrap it up in a slick app. Then you go to the local cell-phone providers and convince as many of them as possible that they should offer the content in your app for free, with no data charges. There you go: anybody who has a data-capable phone has Internet access—or at least access to a curated, walled sliver of the Internet—for free.

So you subsidize access to your app, and this counts as getting people online? Come on Time.
"White" has been used as a common term for a race longer than anyone living has been alive, so, no, I don't think anyone alive could miss the days when "white" wasn't a race.

People can, I suppose, miss the days when "white", as a term for a race, had almost exclusivey positive connotations when used by anyone with any influence in society and pine for the days when white privilege was so strong as to be virtually unquestioned, but you shouldn't mistake missing that for missing "white" not being a race.
I wish there were (more?) people who feel about software like Steve Wozniak feels about hardware. Because it is an art, a pursuit of perfection. And not slamming frameworks, libraries and snippets together until something kind of runs sometimes.

Okay, if there is a jitter on individual pings, it is certainly not the PMTUD-related - and if there is no packet loss, then it is shaping - either intentional, or some middlebox can't cope with the load.

Over the years it seems there have been a fair few 'Hacker News for X' (see https://hn.algolia.com/#!/story/forever/prefix/0/hacker%20ne...). Presumably each time people implement the whole site from scratch (users, commenting, ranking, etc). Have there ever been any open-source attempts at creating a generic Hacker News style site that people could self host for specific topics? The only thing that I can think of is self-hosting your own copy of reddit.
I tried playing with Application Cache, but my applications kept getting "stuck." The user would return online and the old version of the application would be shown and it wouldn't update the one cached either...

Only solutions I found required configuring the web-server. Which is fine in theory, but when you consider that an application is a self-contained blob of static data in this context (i.e. HTML, CSS, JS, and a manifest) you'll potentially need one web-server cache policy for legitimately static content (i.e. HTML with no manifest) and another for Application Cache (i.e. HTML with a manifest) just to make sure the Application Cache is flushed correctly.

I find it very telling Google web-pages don't use Application Cache (e.g. Gmail). In fact the only thing in chrome://appcache-internals/ is the new-tab page.
> tie the future of computing to a single for-profit company's quickly enlarging platform

The 'future' of compute is ubiquitous trustworthy compute for all. A federation where no one entity controls a pool of power over a given layer of the stack. The layers that run on top of that layer will continue to divide and stratify themselves, as it always has been. They will also assuredly be owned by someone or something. My vote is the something.
There are schematics available at http://elinux.org/CI20_Hardware/Documentation

This is great - the kind of thing product managers and technical documentation writers should definitely know about. Thanks to the authors for providing it and the conference.

Another cool thing about docs written this way is they are very developer friendly but still accessible to non-developer writers - and in some cases/organizations, getting developers to provide documentation can be difficult. Having this be low friction between the two groups (say, non-developers and developers) is really quite nice - both can contribute to internal and external documentation.

I still find some folks trying to do this kind of thing in Word, and find the markup, source control with the document conversion workflow to be many many times more efficient.

Between generating static html for documentation sites, PDFs for embedded/shippable/more "end user friendly" docs and more technical/plain text formats for developers - this workflow has something for every audience/consumer of documentation - at least for written docs.
