This looks like it misses the mark a bit.

As anyone who's worked on project with large binary files(the docs assume PSDs) you need to be able to lock unmergeable binary assets. Otherwise you get two people touching the same file and someone has to destroy their changes. That never makes anyone happy.

It's also unseen how good the disk performance is. These two areas are the reason why Perforce is still my go-to solution for large binary files.
> Microsoft creating their own version means the technology is viable?

Keep in mind nearly all technologies are used mostly at non-tech companies (e.g. far more software is written by developers not working for a software company) and the software/IT teams at these companies usually prefer solutions from the large/major tech names they know/trust. Microsoft having their own version of something means a lot more businesses will consider using it.

Thank you especially for that second point. I've only been thinking about incorporating from a financial perspective (from what I can tell, it seems to be clearly worth it if you're in a product business handling money, but maybe less so if you're just a freelancer).

I hadn't thought about it as looking better, and more polished, from an HR-point of view. Great insight.

When Apple Watch was first announced, while everyone else was busy rolling their eyes at Digital Touch, I immediately started looking forward to using it with my wife. We're both planning on getting the watch, and I fully expect that—even after the initial novelty has worn off—we'll be using Digital Touch repeatedly throughout the day, both as just a way to keep in contact, and as a way to non-intrusively request the other's attention.

Which is to say, I think Gruber's on to something, but I think he's actually understating it with the way he presented it.
The reason why I think it's iOS-ification rather than an OSX-ification is because "Photos" seems less like a standalone app and more like a necessary utility to manage content created by the Apple ecosystem. iPhoto never really felt like that.

iPhoto was part of the iLife suite that were standalone apps to manage the different multimedia demands of your life, mostly from non-Apple digital cameras. It was optimized around editing and organizing your photos. "Photos" on iOS was a barebones app required by a device where camera functionality is built in, intended primarily to manage photos created by the iOS device. Over time both of the apps have borrowed features from each other and grown together until it made sense to converge into one app.

It's not about comparing yourself to others. He's not saying "My kids are the best thing anybody has ever done." It's kind of like training for a marathon, in a way that they aren't quite the same, but let's go with it. You train hard and often, you spend hours and hours on just preparing for it, and when the race comes you suffer, push yourself, sweat and bleed, and finish. 1000th place! But you still feel great, you still feel accomplishment, it's a heady feeling.

You can say "So what, all you did was run 26 miles, lots of people do that, some even run hundreds, or walk cross country, what you did isn't that special."

Well, yeah, it's not, but that doesn't mean it doesn't feel good to look at your accomplishments and feel awe that you completed it.

It's like that with kids. You pass off the whole raising them with "feed, burp, clothe, ship 'em off to be educated by someone else" which is just sad and insulting. You gloss over the sleep deprivation, the worry that wake you up in the middle of the night, the laughter and tears of the kids, and parents teach kids more than you give them credit for.

> In particular, if the solution begins with "First, install..." you've pretty much lost out of the gate. Solving a five-minute problem by taking a half hour to download and install a program is a net loss. In a corporate environment, adding a program to a deployment is extraordinarily expensive. You have to work with your company's legal team to make sure the licensing terms for the new program are acceptable and do not create undue risk from a legal standpoint. What is your plan of action if the new program stops working, and your company starts losing tens of thousands of dollars a day? You have to do interoperability testing to make sure the new program doesn't conflict with the other programs in the deployment. (In the non-corporate case, you still run the risk that the new program will conflict with one of your existing programs.)

> Second, many of these "solutions" require that you abandon your partial solution so far and rewrite it in the new model. If you've invested years in tweaking a batch file and you just need one more thing to get that new feature working, and somebody says, "Oh, what you need to do is throw away you batch file and start over in this new language," you're unlikely to take up that suggestion.

Comparing battery life with other wristbands that have very different functionality doesn't mean much. By that measure, Android wear devices have infinitesimal battery life compared to a Rolex Oyster perpetual.

For what it is, the Apple watch has a much longer battery life than most people expected. Calling it 'extremely short'is misrepresentative.

I don't think you're wrong describing it as a shakedown. It is a shakedown. It's the specifics of the shakedown that interest me.

The DPML is a weird beast in that each registry chooses how they will run their program individually. For example, if you pay for DPML service for a TMCH listed mark from the Donuts registry your mark cannot be registered on any of Donut's gTLDs for the duration of your DPML block.

You're also correct in that a DPML block is not the same as a domain registration. A DPML block simply prevents others from registering a domain which contains your TMCH registered mark.

If your trademark is not in the TMCH then you gain no special rights to either defensively register, or DPML block others from registering it, during the sunrise period. I doubt Vox Populi can limit .sucks to a specific class of registrants. This does happen, but I haven't heard of it happening with .sucks.

Most recently ICANN ruled that .doctors must limit registrants to registered physicians. This pissed off a lot of people.

Without limiting registrants by class .sucks registry operator Vox Populi cannot charge one price to trademark holders, and another price to non-trademark holders. All they can do is offer sunrise period special rights to TMCH registrants.

I can think of no other TLD in the history of the Internet that has enforced price discrimination. TLDs can have class restrictions placed on registrants(.doctor, .edu, .gov), but they cannot price discriminate AFAIK. Vox Populi was able to introduce price discrimination by essentially abusing the sunrise period and the DPML procedure.

Have a listen to this.

It's a bit late in the thread, but I hope you read this. Maybe you should try LSD, just once. Sometimes, for some people, it allows them to reflect deeply on what actually makes them happy, and allows them to then live their life under the guidance of their own happiness, rather than focusing on comparisons to others, and what others think of them. I've seen this first-hand more than once. It's a long-lasting, deeply profound mental realization that can potentially change your life for the better.

> Hyper-V Containers, a new container deployment option with enhanced isolation powered by Hyper-V virtualization.

Everything written tells a different story. "Hyper-V virtualization" means virtual machines, making it not a container. They just try to make that sound like a feature.

Happy to see Microsoft is evolving. Let's hope it will be for everyone's best.
Let's say there's 3 big "tier 1" operators, which everyone trusts. This means that if 2/3 colluded to defraud the system, they could. Then, a smaller non-profit or more "trustworthy" node comes online and says, hey everybody, add me to your quorum slice. I'll listen to these big operators and make sure they're honest, and you can listen to me to verify that.

Now, regular nodes add the non profit node to each of their 2 member set slices. If one of the bigger guys colludes, the system is only blocked, because now the regular stellar users have depended on the non-profit node in each stellar slice, who has seen the collusion and isn't externalizing bogus transactions. Once the collusion is published by the whistle blower node, regular stellar nodes can remove those slices that contained the bad node, and the system moves forward.

Now this is a completely contrived example but you can generalize it as a chain of trust webs, where i listen to the someone, someone listens to me and the person i listen to, and so on.

> Why is a job a good thing???

Most people depend on a job to structure their life. No jobs and a lot of free time would destabilize society. Which is why your government will make sure, that you do either have to or want to work. But for the majority only not-automatable work will be left. Those might be jobs that create status for the top 0.5% - they will essentially become servants - to put it mildly.

The painful journey of painless deployments
As a developer you are usually more concerned about writing software. You might even experience joy when testing software. But deploying software is another story.

When you don't have the luxury of an experienced dev ops team, chances are that you as a developer might have to take matters into your own hand and deploy your software. And all of a sudden you'll be the dev ops guy, cause you are spending more time deploying than actually developing software. What a nightmare!

Unfortunately this turned out to be true for my team. That's obviously not a good situation, especially when you're a small dev team:

- 1 CTO
- 1 Sr. Software Engineer
- 1 Jr. Front End Developer

You just don't have the luxury of spending time for manual deployments of your applications and services.

The solution described in the article is a guide to a git commit -> deploy to AWS Elastic Beanstalk && Docker Hub solution for your different environments.

Its a jarring experience really. you can look at 3 photos in a slide show, then in place of the 4th photo an ad. You can't even pay them to stop showing ads with your photos, as subscribing (which I did) only stops you from seeing the ads.

I have a frew questions for users who already have Photos:

1. Is it possible to use Photos without paying for iCloud?
2. Does it work like iPhotos where there's a huge library that's created and organized by Photos and I can't just go in that folder using finder to look at something?
3. Is it fast?
Yes! Bringing us all one step closer to the whiysi (we host it you store it) dev paradigm. Bravo!

I've been using the betas and have added most of my photos to iCloud Photo Library.

My only issue with Photos.app is that there's no way to geotag and add/edit metadata on either platform. I've resorted to writing an iOS app to give me that functionality (using the new-in-iOS 8 Photos framework).
Yeah, that was exactly my feeling.

I think you are overestimating how technically savvy most users are and how much people care about "control" over their personal data.

> Maybe this is more of a European thing, but the backlash against cloud computing is very much still in full force - there are people actually not buying computers because all this Cloud nonsense is being shoved down our throats - are these not 'the rest of us'?

I don't think the proportion of people not buying computers because of "all this Cloud nonsense" is that big, and to be honest, if they cared that much, they won't buy Apple devices with their locked down bootloaders. Apple never had those customers to begin with, and they seem to be doing fine without them.

> Why can't I just use this to share my data, instead of needing an additional Cloud-fee to do the same task? I think people need to remove their blinkers here - we're being shafted with this Cloud culture blaring its horns.

You can. You just have to do it yourself if you wanted that. Install a web server and some gallery software -- easy for most Hacker News readers, impossible for my grandma. Heck, she had a hard time understanding the concept of email. These users just want to take and share the latest photos they took, not figure out why NAT traversal doesn't work with their $20 Comcast-supplied router.

> Sorry, is ownership of your data not important? Is control over where and when your data is available, and by which means it is shared with the world, not important?

Again, to Hacker News readers, maybe. However, not to my grandma. She takes pictures of flowers and pets on her daily walk and shares it with her friends. Why does she care about "what means it is shared with the world" so long as her friends and family can see it?

> I don't think this Cloud business has anywhere near that level of quality of service, and if only the OS vendors were aware of the demand for this sort of thing, they'd be building in peer-to-peer NAT traversal tools, sticking a nice GUI on top, and calling themselves real Operating System vendors again.

For the average user, I would say that the cloud is much more reliable than whatever they can control themselves. I think if you allow people to run their own servers, you will find that things would be inaccessible and/or compromised most of time. Remember -- the average user manages to install all sorts of nasty adware and spyware on their own system unprompted, and I am not sure they are going to be much better at managing servers.

Before I bought my grandparents iPads, they used Windows PCs. Invariably, I will receive a call every couple of months asking me to debug their computer or router because they managed to screw it up one way or another. Now they do everything on iPads, and it is great for them (safer, easier to use) and great for me (no need to play tech support any more). iCloud Photos and the like are targeted at these people.

Have you seen what happens when a Cloud gets hacked into, and the photo's get leaked? I have and it isn't pretty.

So? Let people have control over their data back again. Promoting the denigration of these rights at the call of convenience just means that within a year or so, we'll probably be re-inventing this discussion again, only it'll be about how great it is that OS vendors have started integrating things like ipfs.io ..
You forgot the part where Solaris did containers first in 2005.

Others "realised" the value of this later and started improving upon the ideas contained within.

Although I'm sure many might argue that this is the natural conclusion of virtualization.
As far as I can tell, less flexible (far less) then annex but it can be made very seamless to the user (no/few special commands and lfs tracking by filemask.)

I would think bridging the gap in annex to track by file pattern would be easy but a lot of people might prefer not to know how to make annex go. So using simplicity as differentiator.
To be clear, I'm not complaining about the marketing. I'm complaining about how it is to actually use, in contrast to the marketing.
Trying to clarify. We are talking about 3 things:
1) OS virtualization for Windows. We announced this last year: http://azure.microsoft.com/blog/2014/10/15/new-windows-serve...
2) Nano Server -- A small Windows Server sku. Perfect for containers, but also useful for other scenarios where you need a small, cloud optimized Windows
3) Hyper-V Containers -- Think if you wanted to optimize a hypervisor with assumption that it is only running a container. What enlightenments would you enable? What management interface would you put on it? We'll have more details later, but this is the core concept.
