My observation is that my drinking habits match my food habits. Both require careful attention although alcohol unlike food has a built-in negative feedback mechanism.

I do a dry week without alcohol every once in a while just to make sure I can.

I find doing a dry week without alcohol the same difficulty as dry week without diet Coke. Which is to say I like diet Coke a lot and both require effort. You get things like hey wouldn't a diet Coke be nice, and then have to remember you aren't drinking that now and then the thought will repeat several times in a fairly small time window.

Without a doubt use Docker. It has the ecosystem, which is extremely important. It also has the support and community.

For devops engineers looking to build an entire enterprise around containers, LXD will be a great option when it reaches maturity and its ecosystem matures. It's not there yet, and probably won't be for a few years.

Another great company that's doing extremely cool things with LXC minus Docker is Flockport[0]

I don't see anything in the Wikipedia article that implies he was a borderline scam artist. Even the "controversies" section only really talks about the fact that he used steroids in the past and something about Amazon reviews for his books.

I'm not necessarily saying you're wrong... but what has he done that's actually bad? He says himself that the things he writes about worked for him, and he shows how he measured it in his own life. That doesn't mean it's scientific fact and will work for everyone necessarily.

I also drink moderately. Usually 1 drink per day. Once in a while 0. ~once a month 2.

I think the most common forms of drinking are 0 or <too much>, but there are at least some people that moderate (I do).
I think the way MySQL works in doing "INSERT ... ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE" is to delete the old row and insert a new row if there's an auto incremental column (mostly it's ID column). Being curious if Postgres works the same way in this regard.
My background:7 Xserves still in production here in K-12 education, 1000+ users in OpenDirectory

In the pipeline:Migrating to the new shiny Mac Pros along with OS X Server

Reasons: Thunderbolt 2 connectivity is amazing and works fine to connect FibreChannel RAIDs.
OS X Server: Though it's correct that the GUI got simplified a bit, it's the same server package and complex as it always has been, however easy enough to support. And if configured correctly, a solid workhorse for many scenarios: network accounts for lab use, calendar and contacts server, along with some helper tools it works in heterogene environments fine, supports huge amounts of users in via LDAP..just to name some reasons. for 20 bucks the best server os to support Mac and iOS clients. And because the underlying foundation is UNIX, it's friendly with any networking stuff such as RADIUS for your WP2-Enterprise wi-fi needs..just to name a view.

One thing that is not quite right in the post above: SAN support exists via XSAN.
I get this, it just seems like a battle sometimes. If you're just looking for somewhere to post some content/share an article/thought..... Also, and this is particularly relevant here on HN - what if you want to post some content that might be of interest on HN but you don't want to overload your personal site with traffic? Let one of the so called 'content silos' worry about the uptime.

Also, why not just come out and say who this is about - the facebooks/mediums/tumblrs etc
> This query takes about 50ms! We experimented with returning the document text with results and found that if we returned the full text of documents, it added about 350ms to the query time which seems to be network overhead rather than a slower query. If we only returned 200 characters from the texts then it only added around 100ms.

The way you have written the query, it has to extract the title from all of the JSON documents before applying the LIMIT.

Perhaps do the work to get the identifiers, order by rank, and apply the limit... all in a subquery. So that only the outer query actually touches the JSON document and extracts the titles.

Try it and report back on the speed improvement.

Basically thread scheduling is an imperfect art. So when you tell a thread to sleep for 4ms, it may sleep for 1-16ms depending on other threads work load, resource contention, etc.

This is a huge problem if you work in very precise time sensitive data (I do ISO17025 flow calibration systems), and when you start needing >100 data points per second, of dynamic IO you will run into millisecond timing issue standard time shared OS's will introduce. The solution to this is Real-Time OS's (not Real-Time webdevelopment) that handle scheduling differently, and prioritize IO tasks even higher. But most of these suck.

:.:.:

This random noise (from the scheduler) is a pretty good source of entropy (and the only assumption is your Unix box has other processes, that are using resources). Because your process, generally has no clue that hundreds of other processes are inflight and also being executed at the same time.

So their interference, is effectively magic data from nowhere.

That seems an abuse of Occam's Razor. There are many chemicals that are known to be unhealthy in large amounts, but are healthy (even necessary) in smaller amounts. This group of chemicals includes linoleic acid, vitamin A, iron, and water.

It may certainly be true that alcohol is a net negative in any amount, but it would be in lots of good company if it turns out that small amounts of alcohol are indeed healthy.

Indeed, and it doesn't take an exceptional amount of effort to learn how to do so, either. I've inherited a large plate of untested spaghetti at my current job, but we've managed to make some good inroads through testing and refactoring; developers of all experience levels are able to produce better work thanks to this emphasis.
You can use airnav.com to find small airports near you and make a visit and ask for recommendations on who to talk to about getting a demo flight. They're usually 30 min or so and run about $100. You'll find out pretty quickly if this is for you or not.

In the time it took you to write all that, you could've answered this question for yourself. He wrote it at work, as part of his job, at Facebook. And if he's not "troubled" by it, why are you?
In France, we have a strong belief that one glass of wine per day is something sane and you should actually do it. There is no scientific study behind it and every other tests seem in fact to tend to show that alcohol is harmful for the body. But because it makes everyone happy to believe so (myself included!), we root for it.
In proprietary software it's different. Proprietary software is less vulnerable to infusions of backdoors from untrusted sources and side channels. Proprietary software can only be audited by the developers themselves, and it will depend on the kinds of resources the developers can bring to bear directly. Companies that can afford it can dedicate large teams to reviewing and testing their codebases.

That open source code can be audited by third parties is only relevant if it actually happens, and otherwise you have only a false sense of security.

This is why the word "underpriced" always seems wrong to me in this context. Your price at the beginning has to be lower because your profile is lower, which means you have a weaker negotiating position. "Underpriced" only becomes the right word if your rates aren't rising in conjunction with your profile, which does happen for sure, but isn't the case right at the beginning.

I used to live in hurricane country, and having a week's worth of water and food in the house was just common sense. As well as a few hundred dollars in cash, for when the power goes out and ATMs & credit-card machines stop working.

Fun story: I got onto I-440 around Raleigh after Floyd came through, and there was this long line of cars driving really slowly. Really bizarre, since most of the time the road is a racetrack.

As you say, apocalyptic thinking seems to be deeply wired into the human psyche.

If your threat model predicts a high probability of nuclear war, civilization-threatening pandemics, or other end-of-the-world-as-we-know-it scenarios, you should probably move to a defensible rural homestead with solar panels, a long growing season, and a fresh water supply -- that's an hour away from the nearest interstate. I hear the intermountain west is nice this time of year.

What's interesting is that few prepper/survivalist discussions -- that I've seen, maybe I'm missing them -- mention the opportunity costs of moving to the backwoods. I interviewed Y2K prepper/survivalists who quit their jobs and followed approximately the above advice. The problem arises when the collapse, well, doesn't happen. And you're two hours (in the summer) and six hours (in the winter) from the nearest emergency room.

Also once you sell that city condo or suburban house and move to your self-sufficient rural homestead, you then have a strong incentive to predict the collapse is coming. Maybe it's not going to be Y2K after all, but how about suitcase nukes in big cities? Or bioterror? Etc. There's also a subset of religious survivalists who seem to want an ungodly and immoral secular society to meet its doom; I wrote about this for Wired here: http://archive.wired.com/culture/lifestyle/news/1999/01/1719...
But the argument has been that "moderate" drinking is associated with increased risk vs associated with decreased risk, not that it's neutral.

The decreased risk group were suggesting that upto 6 drinks per day were linked to lower risks than teetotalism even when you adjust for chronically ill teetotalers (ie people who no longer drink because they've destroyed their liver).

A US standard drink is 18 ml of alcohol so six of those a day is quite a lot.
You are arguing for a world that might benefit you, will definitely benefit intelligence creepers, and would be considered by most human beings undesirable and downright hostile. Expect resistance.
Yup. I think a lot of the extrene nut-cases get a disproportionate amount of the attention placed on the whole prepper movement, but a lot of people are into it just for the either the fun of it or as a practical exercise in self-sufficicency. It's kind of like mixing tough mudders with zombies: you get to mix exercise with fantasy.
In the US I would guess around 95%.

Extend things to 1-2 months and that probably drops to 20% or so which is very good odds.

However, the difference between a 'competitive' offer and a 'good' one at a company you want to work for is huge. If your spending between 1/3 and 2/3 of your waking hours at work you need to make them count.

The difference is that the core competence of Intel is providing chips to other businesses. It's not a stretch to say everything that goes into an Apple product is made by companies that specialize in selling components to other companies. If some supplier doesn't work out, there are a dozen others to pick up the slack.

Basing your product on top of LinkedIn? The core of their business isn't anywhere near providing that API.
Sorry, I was unclear. You're right that they do claim that the impact of drinking is negative, but I don't think they made any actual argument in favor of that viewpoint.
"Your price at the beginning has to be lower because your profile is lower"

This is the sentiment that makes you justify charging too little.
In my experience, a bad manager can be far worse than having no managers. A management-less company may end up being adrift at sea, but that's a far better alternative than running into an iceberg or sailing into pirate-infested waters.
What I'm wondering about is, what will happen if you request certain permissions (e.g. w_messages / rw_groups ) as part of the oauth process, but do not actually call API endpoints that require them.

The documentation just mentions the limitation in API endpoints, but I'm a bit worried whether it could make the oauth login fail due to permissions requested that you can no longer use.

I just mean that you should have a very clear idea of whether they might try to assert copyright over the code or not, because if they do try it will at least be a hassle, maybe worse.

This is not an area where I have much more than a passing interest, so much of this is over my head, so to speak. I was first introduced to the idea of healthy moderate drinking in Walter Willett's Eat, Drink, and Be Healthy.

Here is a link to one of the studies he cites:

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/12519921

Does this study not constitute a randomized trial on the benefit of moderate drinking?

Personally I have no problems charging my watch daily, just like my phone. But it does present an issue if you want to wear it while sleeping. I've never wanted to wear a watch sleeping though...

Do you want to do the project to learn a language, or do you want to learn a language to do the project? Which is the real goal, doing the project or learning the language?

If the real goal is to do the project, then pick the language that makes it the easiest to do the project. "Already know it" is one part of "makes it easiest", but the other part is "stuff I don't have to write because the language and/or libraries do it for me".

If the real goal is to learn a language, do you want to learn it to expand your professional experience, or to grow your knowledge of programming? Do you want money, or knowledge?

If you want the professional experience, then you need to pick a language that you have a realistic probability of getting paid to use (unless your project becomes a product, but then you want to pick the language that makes it easiest to create and maintain that product).

If you want to expand your knowledge, pick a language that is fairly distant from what you know, but still is a realistic implementation language for your project.

I know, I didn't actually answer the question...

This is similarly true for me. I can abstain from alcohol, but I miss it when I do. The effort is similar to abstaining from, say, ice cream or cookies. I would eat ice cream every night if it didn't feel so unhealthy.

I also find that when abstaining from alcohol, I crave ice cream and other sweets far more. Alcohol and sweets seem to satisfy a common underlying craving in me. It's far easier to give up one than both.
