Have you been on the east coast very much. For a lot of it. It's dog eat dog. The attitude in DC is "your car is worth less than my deductable." There is a reason for the term Massholes, it's not even contested. NYC is priced out because of the finance sector, geography, and the fact that there are too many people there.

The description in "The Omnivore's Dilemma" of egg yolks from idyllically pasture-raised chickens is forever stuck in my memory.

"Between stops, Art mentioned that Joel’s eggs usually gave him his foot in the door when trying to land a new account. We stopped in at one such prospect, a newly opened restaurant called the Filling Station. Art introduced himself and presented the chef with a brochure and a dozen eggs. The chef cracked one into a saucepan; instead of spreading out flabbily, the egg stood up nice and tall in the pan. Joel refers to this as “muscle tone.” When he first began selling eggs to chefs, he’d crack one right into the palm of his hand, and then flip the yolk back and forth from one hand to another to demonstrate its integrity. The Filling Station chef called his staff over to admire the vibrant orange color of the yolk. Art explained that it was the grass diet that gave the eggs their color, indicating lots of beta-carotene. I don’t think I’d ever seen an egg yolk rivet so many people for so long. Art beamed; he was in."

I've yet to find an egg like that, though I've heard you can get them if you raise backyard chickens.

I'm not sure why this got down-voted, but I thought the same thing while reading the article. If you store the game state as a giant hash-map (as I would in Clojure), then problems of "is-a" and "has-a" don't really exist. Especially considering that almost all squares are singletons anyway. So the game state can look as simple as:

{:unowned-properties #{:baltic} :players [{:owns #{:atlantic}}] :property-states {:atlantic {:hotels 0 :houses 2}}}

Etc....data driven design...wins every time.
You took Linux as an example? It took Linux 10 years (1992-2002 - kernel 2.4) to get to a stage where it's considered widely production-ready in the enterprise. And the phenomenal development rate of the 2.4+ series is thanks to corporate sponsors hiring talented developers to work on the kernel full time.

I can give you a couple of counter-counter-examples.

GIMP has been around for almost 20 years by now, but its development rate is abysmally slow, still faraway from what most people expect from a Photoshop replacement. Its progress since ~2008 hasn't been that big.

GNOME has been around for almost that long too, but it's constantly suffering from lack of man power.

The Sidekiq background worker system for Ruby is open source, but development went much faster ever since the author started monetizing on it by selling commercial licenses.

Nginx is also open source. They have much more development power now that they are a business and have a source of income. Before, it was just Igor working on it whenever he had time when he's off work.

That's not accurate. There are a lot of things about Go that are very difficult to implement. The concurrency system and garbage collector are obvious examples. Some less obvious ones are discussed here: http://talks.golang.org/2014/compiling.slide
There are logical reasons for being against GMOs. Many of them have nothing to do with the fact that the product is GMO:

* GMOs tend to promote monoculture and pesticide use.

* Studies have shown that the same developments that make GMOs more insect resistant can also make them more difficult to digest.

* When it comes to animals, GMOs tend to have much poorer quality of life and tend to be completely incapable of surviving without constant support (chickens who can't stand on their own, cows who can't go more than 48 hours without milking, etc).

* GMOs almost never focus on the true value of a food item, but rather the sell value. A food that looks nutritious is more valuable than one that actually is and GMOs make it easier to create that false association (deep red tomatos that taste like wall paper glue, etc).

It's important to note that all of these things are really a byproduct of industrial agriculture, but many people associate them more directly with GMOs. I think the development of GMOs is a completely normal part of our agriculture and has been for thousands of years, we just need to make sure we're responsible about it.

Interestingly enough, I did do a quick Trademark search, and it turns out that, while the "James Bond 007 & Gun"[0] is a registered trademark in Canada, the name "James Bond" is not yet trademarked[1]. There is a search done and a proposed usage, but a registration has not yet taken place. Looks like the next action taken on the file will be on Jan 31st, 2015.

I admit, though, it's pretty murky territory. Even the government site I used to search this indicates that the information may not be reliable, as some of it is provided via 3rd party.

You are free to want whatever you like, though many other creators recognize the desirability of shorter copyright terms.

However, the purpose of copyright law is not to give creators whatever they want. It is to provide limited exclusive rights in order to promote creation. This is literally written into the US Constitution:

"To promote the Progress of Science and useful Arts, by securing for limited Times to Authors and Inventors the exclusive Right to their respective Writings and Discoveries."

Thanks adam419,

I've got four apps in the store now. The first, "Lend my stuff" is written in Objective-c.

PhotoOrganiser and Intervalos are written using Appcelerator's Titanium toolset (all written in Javascript but run as native apps). These have been the easiest to write and it's an exellent way of writing apps if your background contains Javascript.

I found Swift very easy to pick-up. It has a couple of gotcha's but once you get your head round these it's a great language. I'll be writing all my future apps in Swift.

I believe haakon is correct on this one, unless I'm missing something. We just got into an argument at my work over the correct usage of the term "api", but found this post to back up my arguments - http://stackoverflow.com/questions/8772746/difference-betwee...

Anyway, I'm not trying to nitpick or keep this side-discussion alive. But I'm genuinely curious how most people classify the difference between api and library.

Also on a sidenote, who's downvoting all the comments and the thread itself? This seems like a really cool project and it doesn't look like anyone's posted anything completely irrelevant here.
Of course compile time matters when features like modules provide a significant improvement.

My question was more focused in having to work around the compiler by doing micro-optimizations, or avoiding some features that "may be heavy", just because one project will take 65535ms instead of 65000ms to do a minimal rebuild.

But at the end of the day, it really depends on the dimensions of the project. In a huge project an improvement from 8 hours to 7.5 hours is greatly appreciated.

How is it that a company could not be able to make a decision after 2+ months of a person actually working for them? If it's not a clear "no," we know that person hasn't managed to destroy the company and can at least get along well enough socially. If it's not a "yes" after that much time, that seems like a management failure. After all, 2 months should be more than enough time to produce enough code to tell whether a person can code and will bring a net positive influence to the environment.
I work in rocket propulsion research and have worked with, and around, both of these propellants, and I think you exaggerate to the point of being incorrect. You can smell hydrazine long before it's dangerous - it smells a bit fishy, somewhat like ammonia. It has to get really quite bad before your body-mounted gas alarms tell you that you're above recommended limits.

I'm more worried by NO2 but as a fume it's bright orange so one can normally see a cloud of it coming and make plans to head somewhere not downwind. If you do get caught by some, protocol is to lie with your head at the bottom of an inclined plane for several hours, so the the fluid can drain out of your lungs (and you call an ambulance of course).

When propulsion tests are happening on site we keep emergency breathing apparatus under our desks incase there's a containment failure and we need to get out. Usually though we just test when the wind direction would take anything away from the office/workshop.

I'm not bothered about kerosene but I have a healthy respect for LOX; it's as easy to kill yourself with it as with hydrazine. Where breathing apparatus and chem suits will keep you safe from hydrazine pretty much, LOX doesn't forgive any dirtiness, grease, human hair, or the wrong choice of o-ring material, especially when pumped at high speeds and pressures. Different risks but LOX is arguably more likely to bite you.

Here's an often-cited LOX safety video of the sort you probably couldn't make today:

How does that efficiency transfer to edge cases like accelerating 500,000lb of mass to Mach 0.75 at 30000ft through air though? That's pretty standard performance for a modern commercial aircraft with intercontinental capability. Turbofan engines might be pretty inefficient for many purposes, but excel at generating the thrust required for commercial aircraft, which are rather more demanding than lightweight piston-powered testbeds. Serious question: are there any existing electric propulsion systems remotely capable of the same performance characteristics as a turbofan even assuming a zero weight battery?
Right.

I don't believe Docker is an extracted product. They wrote it from scratch and pushed it on the world, without running it in production themselves.

In particular, I don't believe dotCloud ever ran Docker in production / for paying customers. It seems like there were several earlier containerization technologies based on LXC or OpenVZ, but it wasn't Docker per se. They had some domain knowledge from those earlier experiences, but not production quality code.

They are in crowded conditions. Humans do the same things will kept locked up in crowded conditions.

What are you arguing is akin to saying that humans need to be locked up in solitary confinement because if you keep them "free" in close quarters they will start committing acts of violence against each other. You would have a hard time arguing that the Japanese in US/Canadian "relocation centres" should have been kept in solitary confinement because there were instances of "inmate-on-inmate" violence/rape.

It's mostly in how Docker perform the 'docker load' and 'docker pull' that results in a different security story, not so much how it ultimately extracts the files and applies them to the filesystem.

When you use 'docker pull', you're explicitly loading a specific tag and the layers associated with it.

Docker 'load' doesn't load an image and a tag as specified by the user, it loads an arbitrary number of images and tags as specified in the provided archive.

For one example of an actual vulnerability, up until Docker 1.3.3, it was possible for a 'docker load' to execute path traversal attacks based on malicious image IDs. This was largely mitigated by the 'docker pull' code and url semantics. There was still some risk from malicious registries, but again, mitigated by having a trusted registry behind TLS.
It would be interesting to see if the law leaves loopholes where businesses can use this as a competitive advantage. For example, what if I can request a page be removed from search results if my name appears in a comment on a page that promotes my competitor's business / products / services.
Oh I understand what rational means, but what is percieved and understood as rational can and does differ based on society and culture and circumstance when applied to the kinds of things generally enshrined as rights (human, workers, womens, prisoners, etc). Enshrinement of rights is not by any means a perfect solution to the problem of how best to protect weak minorities, and can be used very effectively to suppress freedom, but I'm pretty skeptical that a reliance on 'rational arguments' is better.

I'm not sure if you're joking or not, but civil disobedience is a valid and legitimate form of protest.

If you disagree with a law, ignore it. If enough people do the same, the burden from enforcing the law becomes too much and it simply stops being enforced or is legislated away due to the societal harm it causes.

An arguable example of this in action is the War On Drugs. This war has been waged for years, and the black market has not only survived, it has thrived in the economy of scarcity that is created and maintained by said war. People and legislators all over the country (the world?) are beginning to see that this war isn't benefiting anyone and have begun legalizing marijuana. Marijuana is one of many drugs, but it's a step in the right direction.
Read through that thread, funny thing is 19 days ago someone is pointing out how the docs are misleading after he is informed that docker doesn't verify signatures [1]. @shykes makes the claim on one of the comments here that nobody has every brought up that particular issue before, and while he wasn't the one who responded to this guy someone from the docker core team did.

Clearly nobody changed anything in the docs to clarify. Like most things security related people don't care until there is a major exploit or somebody with enough clout complains enough, or more likely than not both.
