- Those of you using it in production, how are you handling security?

- How secure has Docker proven to be in general?
In my experience, masters degrees serve as a waiting pattern to get into medical schoool and also get around immigration restrictions, especially the Master's cap. They serve these purposes rather well, the question whether anyone taking these degrees actually learns anything useful is not relevant at all.

That sort of creepiness, privacy concerns or whatnot are valid, but I think they almost need to be isolated out of such conversations.

The world is changing fast with all sorts of relevance in that realm. I think it's almost futile for us to try and comprehend how this stuff will work and how we feel about it. History is often notionally zeroed at the invention of written records. The king of an illiterate realm is prehistoric while Nebuchadnezzar or Hammurabi are historic rulers, leaving behind an intentional record from their times.

There are people today with thousands of hours of HD video and audio records. Facebook photos. HN debates. You can know who they are and how they think, to an extent, from those records. Their great grandchildren will be able to too. This is getting stronger. The quantity and quality of information being recorded is enormous. You might call it post-history. The period abbot which our level of knowledge is as complete as it is about the present.

I think it's the kind of great change that can't be understood from foresight.

A mortgage is basically a commodity, so a as long as you have several competing actors margins should approach zero. Secondly banks can bundle a bunch of other services together with a mortgage so they can condition the low rates on the customer buying into other higher margin products .
And yet there are real problems. Women are underrepresented in tech, government, finance. Women do make less money even if you control for expertise and experience. Women are far more likely to be sexually assaulted.

To make it simple I'd say markup is about structure where code has inherent meaning.

For example:
<p>The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.</p>

Here the markup does not change the fact that the dog is lazy. That is the markup does not give meaning to the sentence.

But with code, the meaning is "coded" in to the text. Lazy could be code for yellow, which in that case changes the meaning of the sentence.
It's less about funding and more about what Business Insider wants to cover.

Other than Stanford, the Venn diagram of tech companies and US educational institutions has little overlap. The applicability of the study's conclusion to normal commercial concerns is dubious.
Computation intensive tasks often take large amounts of data as input. And sharing data with a worker always has to be done by serializing this data (in a message). So for large inputs, this approach doesn't work (the main thread would block the cpu while serializing the messages).

But my biggest problem with workers is that they don't have an event-loop, so I can't share asynchronous code between the main thread and the workers.
The article says that some of the loan rates are set below the benchmark.

I guess the cost of the money is usually still below that, or they wouldn't do it (they are also moving to put rate floors into their contracts).
"destroying trust for some random fashion-driven goals"

Trust destruction has been the dominant economic model (outside tech) for a generation or two now. "Oh the shopkeeper would never screw me over". "Oh my banker would never screw me over". "Real estate agents never screw over their neighbors". "All stock brokers can be trusted". "I can trust my doctor/hospital" "I trust if I get an advanced degree an upper middle class job for me at that edu level will magically be created with great salary for me, by magic, because thats how it always used to work" "I can trust cops" Screw em over, keep the profits, wait for the federal bailout money to roll in, and do it over again.
That's really all about how you structure things. If you're building small, distributed, API-oriented applications -- it's really very easy to re-write your infrastructure. If you're building large monolithic applications, with in-band communication only, you're right, it is pretty tough.

The "formal education" piece is a little rough though. Count me among the developers working with Node.JS and a university degree.
Anecdata; I've just finished a Masters in Maths and my mathematical ability has massively improved. Nobody doing this alongside me is going to medical school. My first masters was in physics. I don't know of anyone there going to medical school either, but it's been a few years; maybe some have.
The amount of upvoting and downvoting of parent comment is insane, please share your thoughts instead! It's just imaginary numbers that go up or down and mean nothing - don't be afraid to say what you think on their account.
Well, "under a financial overhaul passed by Congress in 2010, the Securities and Exchange Commission was supposed to require all publicly held companies to disclose the ratio of C.E.O. pay to the median pay of all other employees, but it has so far failed to put it in effect" sounds a little bit like someone wants to mandate this kind of a practice. (I'm not in the US so such a law does not impact me directly, at least not at the moment, but as experienced with the totally nuts application of SOX laws, such things passed by US Congress may mean WTF moments to people at the other side of the world).

I literally know of only a single pure F# application tutorial on the internet, Scott W.'s Calculator, and the style reads more like Java than any idiomatic FP code I've ever seen.

There's scattered bits here and there elsewhere, but none actually present a complete picture of the process. They wind up resembling, as one survey respondant suggested, feeling like the old "how to draw an owl": Step 1) draw the eyes, Step 2) Draw everything else.

Of course that's not news to me. It's also not news to him. Which is why he came to conclusion about this gradually and based on a variety of experience. Which he stated.

But it is apparently news to you, which is why a) you act as if you're some sort of mega-genius, able to accurately assess people's lives based on a handful of words, and b) you haven't get gotten started on assessing the portions of your own mental state that drive you to act like this.

Out of curiosity, what industry and what type of ROI on the ads?
If you have effective solar sail technology then all my calculations are thrown out the window.

If you don't, then the time to spiral into the sun is large. Figuring 5/64 N on 20 tons and an orbital velocity of 30km/s gives

t = v / a = 30 km/s / ((5/64) N / 20000 kg)
= 245 years to cut the orbital velocity

This assumes all of the force could be used to slow the waste hauler. As http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_sail points out, the force is cos^2(theta) so the actual time at 45 degrees is

t = 245 * (sqrt(2)/2)^2 = 490 years.

The actual time will be smaller because you only need to hit the sun, and solar wind will get stronger. So, 350 years? As a wild-ass guess.

That same page points out that sails don't work much inside of 0.25 AU, because the temperature can exceed the material properties of the sail. Though I think if the apogee is inside of 0.20 AU it's good enough.

To make it worse, the solar wind fluctuates, so unless there's active control on the rocket, its orbit will be unpredictable over the centuries. When it's still near Earth orbit, or when it approaches Venus orbit, what are the chances of a gravitational assist leading to an Earth-return?

With 50,000 tons of high-level waste, and 15 tons per rocket => 3,333 rockets in uncertain orbits, the chances become much higher.
I have similar experiences to what you listed... and it's why I'm going to be moving away from docker in the mid-future. That 'nasty debugging' consumes a ton of time. I'm probably going to head back to .debs. I see a place for docker, but not on my production servers. It consumes gobs of disk space in practice and requires a lot of hand-holding; an extra layer of stuff to work around and to debug.

I was resistant to it at first as they'd just started using it in the company when I arrived, but the devs kept talking about how wow it was. Fast forward to today, and not a single dev has it installed on their machine. None of them are interested.
Why? What is to be gained from troll-feeding?

I'm not a .NET user (yet) and have found the readme to be somewhat cryptic:

> LLILC is an LLVM based MSIL Compiler - we pronounce it 'lilac' - with a goal of producing a set of cross-platform .NET code generation tools. Today LLILC is being developed against dotnet/CoreCLR for use as a JIT, but an ahead of time (AOT) compiler is planned for the future.

The mailing list post is a bit clearer to my mind, and I'm now rewording the above in "layman's language" as follows, but I may still be wrong (please correct me):

"Today, LLILC is a modified version of CoreCLR (= .NET Core, which is the part of .NET which was open sourced by Microsoft in November 2014) where the code generation backend is replaced with LLVM (but still working as a JIT). We're also planning to implement an ahead of time compiler for MSIL (= CIL, which is what the .NET bytecode is a form of), also using LLVM, but then perhaps forgoing the use of (most of?) CoreCLR. The aim is also to make it possible to use the wide array of tools available in the LLVM ecosystem, such as code analyzers."

More likely than not people start yelling loudly about who's advertising their skills better.

In the end not enough businesses and institutions are equipped to accurately assess skill. So rather than being hired based on skill, what you'd really be hired based on is perceived skill.

The people who can sell themselves and spin their skills will continue to thrive, the people who can't but have skills will find niches to do their work, and the people who don't have either will complain that the first two groups are being "pushy" or have an unfair advantage because they're selling themselves better.

Something like that.

Edit: even if we could measure skill... how? I don't suspect it's always an objectively measurable thing. e.g. most people who seek out psychiatric help want to find someone who is good fit for them and they can trust and talk to, not the "state's top ranked psychiatrist" (who is inherently intimidating).
It is sexism, and it's unfortunate. I'm a woman, and I pretend to be a man online so my comments and understandings of computer science, code, programming, and mathematics are treated with the same respect, and given the same kind of responses and feedback.

I've tried numerous times to out myself as female and it's clear that there is consistently a difference in the way I'm spoken to as a woman and as a man.

I will probably move onto another alias as I typically do, but I think it is necessary to point out that both genders suffer due to any kind of discrimination. I feel like people hold me back by judging my abilities by my gender. I get angry thinking about how much more I might have been able to learn if I was a man, and I resolve that with studying independently, and fighting in whatever way I can to make sure I can gain the same knowledge base as anyone else should be able to.

One of the few things I am proud of is that I have managed to cultivate an online personality image that is often mistaken for an older man. I don't know when I will stop believing that I am inferior at the things I've spent my entire life studying, but I hope I will soon, because it is extremely depressing. I don't know what my experiences are the definition of, because I know they are biased by an extremely limited set of data.

The point is, I guess - keep your eyes on what really matters to you, and always keep that goal in sight. It's very easy to turn a superficial cultural assumption that actually doesn't happen that often, into a self defeatist attitude, and all that attitude does is get in your way of achieving.
There is age bias. Engineer often change profession once he gets older.
What are we supposed to be "stealing"? Information is a mental construct that humans use to make an easier sense of the world. It's like a component of PCA. Or some tree in a random forest classifier. It's not an independent object existing "out there". (Unless you believe in platonic objects: in which case you need to bring evidence to court to support your — apparently — religious beliefs.)

Information is just brains. And brains are already owned by minds/souls occupying/generated by them. The same goes for hard drives, DVDs, USB sticks, individual DNA molecules, etc. You can only "steal" information by stealing a brain or an actual USB stick. The same goes for "owning" it. (I will grant you that unauthorized access is a crime of trespassing, but in most cases copyright violations are not that.)

tldr: You can't just invent an imaginary category that you pretend is ownable, in pursuit of some social goal, and then threaten to put other people into a rape cage if they don't follow along with your fantasy. Well, you can, but that would make you an immoral bastard™.

[Analogy:

Look, imagine someone comes to court and says that he's suing his neighbor for blocking his driveway for an hour. He is asking for $1M damages. The judge asks what the damages are for, and the plaintiff answers: "For the death of my pet and resulting emotional suffering."

The judge asks: "Which pet?" The plaintiff says: "My imaginary invisible unicorn." How well do you think that would go?

Now imagine if the plaintiff admits that he actually doesn't even believe himself in the existence of the unicorn but just wants to invent his existence as a legal fiction to deter blocking driveways.

In case you didn't get it, this was all analogy for intellectual property. Downloaded from my imaginary platonic farm.]

Show HN: Nomad Loot – The Best Gear for Digital Nomads
Hello friends,

I recently launched Nomad Loot - https://nomadloot.com - with a friend of mine with the goal of covering gear that is useful to digital nomads.

The purpose is twofold:

- List the best products for each category
- Discovery for less known but useful products

We'd love any feedback you guys might have and please suggest your favorite products!

Thank you!

PS: The links to Amazon are affiliate links, we're not really counting on that to make money but it'd be nice if it paid for hosting maybe! More details in the about section.

If you look at the Myers-Briggs personality types listed at TypeLogic, you'll see for the INTJ type (most often associated with engineering types) as being said to often "Work at" a relationship.

Most of those aren't startups anymore by anyone's metrics. France has both a culture and systemic problem towards startups. It's been made abundantly clear to me when having a chat with UK and US people at conferences such as dot[0] that the environment here is quite hostile and successfully launching requires either solid government backing or a great amount of courage. Probably why everytime some news outlet here wants to talk about startups, each one of them hover way above ~5M€ turnover and 30+ employees.

Here's[1] what I consider being one of the genuine french startups that recently launched and tries to be useful (although aimed at the tech crowd).

Compared to VMs we adopted a lot more of a "this is disposable" mindset

There is nothing particularly magical about Docker that means you can't consider VMs equally as disposable. It's a mindset change about how you build your product, not something inherent to Docker. It's the original concept behind AWS's EC2 - treat your VMs as disposable, and store state elsewhere.
As I already said, by publishing your own work you don't give your rights for the work away.

It doesn't need to be trust-based, and in fact shouldn't be trust-based, because even if I trust you, I also have to trust the people who could coerce or bypass you, or people who could maliciously access/modify your systems.
