> Up until now we’ve been deploying machines (the ops part of DevOps) separately from applications (the dev part). And we’ve even had two different teams administering these parts of the application stack. Which is ludicrous because the application relies on the machine and the OS as well as the code, and thinking of them separately makes no sense. Containers unify the OS and the app within the developer’s toolkit.

False. VM Blue/Green Phoenix Deployments were essentially "build VM for each release to production; spin up new VM; spin down old VM" which is essentially what Docker enables, except in container form....which you could have done with OpenVZ or any other containerization solution that has existed to date, even on AWS.

> Up until now, we’ve been deploying heavy-weight virtualized servers in sizes that AWS provides. We couldn’t say “I want 0.1 of a CPU and 200MB of RAM”. We’ve been wasting both virtualization overhead as well as using more resources than our applications need. Containers can be deployed with much smaller requirements, and do a better job of sharing.

As someone who runs & leases 128MB RAM VMs for various purposes...wut?

You could have just as easily used OpenVZ to achieve this and literally everything else on your list:

Or any other container-based solution.

The only real thing you are saying with this article is:

"We like the Docker ecosystem and we feel its better than all other solutions."

Fair enough, but at least don't pretend Docker is the only way to solve these problems.
You're being evasive. His meaning is clear. For instance, in his most recent comment, he suggested that Swartz's political activism made the longer sentence likely. He was not merely spelling out the technicality that the judge could depart from the guidelines and issue an absurd sentence. He was strongly implying that the 30-50 year sentence DOJ bragged about was anchored in reality.

Do you agree with him? Do you actually believe Swartz and his attorney reasonably believed he faced 30-50 years? When we consider Swartz's predicament, or really the predicament of anyone faced with federal charges, should we assume that sentences will not group, regardless of what the guidelines say? Is the "30 years" top-line sentence useful to our discussion?

Is any of this even solvable to the general mainstream public? They need to think in absolutes, as in, this medicine does x to fix, prevent, or repair y. That is how the general public measure things.

In reality, an anti depressant for example, probably works out to something like: it works about 50% of the time, with a bit of a lean over 50%, but if we calculate in spontaneous remission, placebo effect, and some other variable, now it looks like it is either a net zero effect, or in many cases, like AA meetings, statistically detrimental. But the general public will need a binary answer.

And I consider myself part of this general public, I just know there is more than meets the eye on anything, and in general I feel correlation and causation more often then not don't agree.

Why are you building this project?

If it is to learn something, the answer is obvious: build it anyway. You will still learn pretty much all of the things you otherwise would have.

If it is because you feel that the world needs this thing to exist, and it'll become a better place because it does: see if you can contribute to the other people's work. If not, see if what they're doing meets that need and be happy that other people shared your vision of a problem to be solved.

If it's because you wanted to make a company and earn a living: keep going. There are thousands of niches in businesses. You can find yours.
Keep building it, but don't release until the other people do. This will do a few things.

First, it will vet out the market of the product. We are told to look for something new and innovative, but truth be told, the best way to predict the success of a product is to analyze the performance of similar product.

Second, it will give you some insights on areas within your own product to improve as well as ideas on how to differentiate.
>Are you sure? It seems quite likely to me that this sensitive person would lodge exactly the same complaint for totally different behavior. "They didn't roll out the red carpet for me, what a bunch of hostile stunted brogrammers."

It's the beliefs like that which I am talking about. You've built up this imaginary view of the world where every woman is just waiting to catch you out. And that all women demand a red carpet rolled out for them or else they will file a claim against you.

>The person driving a wedge between females and tech is not the males in tech, it's the people spreading this paranoia.

Right, like you who is spreading this fear that they have to constantly be on their toes because the women are out to catch them making a mistake so they can ruin your life.

>It's the people telling women that every man who codes needs to be reeducated before the field is safe for her to enter.

The thing is it isn't every man that needs to be reeducated. Most of us are perfectly fine interacting with any gender. But there is definitely a minority that is a problem and changes to cultures are a problem for them because they act inappropriately.

Your fear is imaginary if you act the way you claim. There is no boogyman out to get you.
What kind of investment will allow your startup to thrive?
Yeah, I think "I don't like this" should be different from "this is actually bad in tangible and measurable ways".

"Stuck Accelerator Pedals in Toyotas Considered Harmful" makes sense, but "Why stuck accelerator pedals in Toyotas are not my favorite accelerator pedals" isn't really descriptive of the issue, although is kind of funny as a title.

To put it another way, there is a place for both titles, but "Considered Harmful" should be reserved for dispassionate analysis.
When you say it's another form of ^S, how often are we talking here? I reflexively ^S every couple of words, are you literally talking about committing every couple of words? Every few lines? Less? What's the purpose committing more often than logical chunks of code which can be considered in some sense "done"?

I've read Reamde several times. It's a fantastic book. It's an interesting story set in modern times. I actually think it's a little more down to earth than some of his other work, more of a traditional story arc. I'm a huge fan of Anathem and Reamde is a very different style. The audiobook is also really good with a great narrator.
The problem isn't that your opinion is unpopular. The problem is that you're misrepresenting your opinion in terms of a legal concept. The term "confusion" has specific meaning in trademark law, which you seem to resist acknowledging. Even if you have a point, you're going to frustrate others by being thick-headed.

See dragonwriter's comment for a good concise clarification.

It's the experience jump. (These are literal words from the quote.) He could have said the improvement is like driving a McLaren P1 to work. It wouldn't mean it's literally supposed to be the same as driving a McLaren.

You're completely missing the point anyway. You keep debating your ridiculous interpretation of the quote and it doesn't matter because even if your interpretation of the quote were correct, there would be no confusion created. Here, I'll say the thing you're pretending the quote says:

"SteamVR looks exactly like an IMAX screen"

No one will read that and think IMAX is selling, licensing, creating, or certifying SteamVR, because there's nothing in there that says that. Nor will anyone thing that SteamVR and IMAX are the same thing, because if they were the same thing, you wouldn't be comparing them.
Not necessarily, before this article I did not know that the range of screen sizes considered IMAX™, was so large. That's a pretty damning detail Ars slipped in there and will definitely make me think twice when going to the movies.
> Based on previous studies, it was believed that individuals with social phobia had too little serotonin and that SSRIs increased the amount of available serotonin. In a new study published in the scientific journal JAMA Psychiatry, researchers from the Department of Psychology at Uppsala University show that individuals with social phobia make too much serotonin.

Hold on a sec. What exactly did this study do differently? If the previous studies showed one thing, why should we suddenly believe this study that says it's all false?

It's worth nothing that according to the source code, this uses the Algolia HN API and not the official HN API, which is a smart move because the official API still doesn't have bulk requests.

As a slightly off-topic aside, I have a GitHub repo showing how to download all Hacker News stories and comments using the Algolia API: https://github.com/minimaxir/get-all-hacker-news-submissions...
I think that's worth a lot. You don't often see such a sincere apology in situations like this. Very cool on IMAX's part.
This requires server-side validation anyway, so I fail to see the point of it.

You just know some less-than-stellar web developer is going to use it and not use any proper server-side validation.
"The energy companies denying anthropomorphic climate change have much larger budgets and a vested interest in convincing everyone everything is fine, there's no need to change anything, so they can continue on with their current business model."

It's pretty telling that these companies have spent well over 100 million in recent years for propaganda, and a grand total of ONE grant of 200K for scientific research.

And when that grant concluded global warming is real and anthropogenic, that was the end of industry funded research. Now it's nothing but propaganda.
> Let us suppose that it is possible to "petition the Lord with prayer", to quote Morrison.

That's obviously possible.

What's subject to debate is whether that action in the material universe produces any change in outcomes in the material universe.

> We can test two populations, ones who receive stranger prayer, and ones who do not, and see if one population gets better treatment. We can look at the epidemiology to see if people from one religion, who practice healing prayer, have different health outcomes than those who do not. (This is tricky but not intractable because there is more than one factor at play.)

Sure.

> Thus we have the ability to detect if there is something outside of the current model.

Science is all about detecting things outside the current model, creating a hypothetical models which include those things, validating whether they explain observed realities better than the current model, and updating models.

OTOH, once it does so, the new model is still, by definition, a naturalistic model which excludes the supernatural. If intercessory prayer has an influence on health effects, not only can science detect it -- but by detecting it can quantify it (even if the necessary model is one of changes in the probability distribution of outcomes, not a simple direct consistent change in outcomes) and incorporate it into a naturalistic model.

> At this point, global flooding of the sort discussed would have to be a supernatural event. There is no place for the water to come from or go to.

No, it wouldn't. The lack of knowledge of the details of the mechanism or explanation for something which is nevertheless an element of the best model does not suddenly make the incompletely-explained thing supernatural; otherwise, things like the Planck constant are "supernatural".
Sounds like they disrupted a terribly inefficient market to the end benefit of ordinary consumers who get a better product - market dynamics in action.
"comfortable using web sites as applications"
I'm not sure that's even remotely clear.

A web application is an application whether or not you're comfortable with it.
So, tl;dr, you consider "'Considered Harmful' Essays Considered Harmful" harmful?

Futures sounds a lot like Promises to me. Or am I wrong?
This is a good example of what I was talking about at the start. Nothing that Docker does is completely new, and people were doing all these things before Docker.

What Docker does is make them easier, pull them all into the same package, bring the ecosystem of tools around a single technology, and most of all: traction!
Um...ServiceNow includes a content management system and other features intended to make UI design very flexible, as I recall. So maybe your issues are more with the particular UI with which you're interacting, and not the underlying ServiceNow platform. Just a thought...
Gamification is a plus, however from my point of view, its just nice to be able to get some data on activity levels and sleep. When it comes to Fitbit -I 'feel' that it is too expensive. cost vs reward is not right.

I use a Xiaomi MiBand, the battery lasts for 30+ days and it is cheap. Just wear it and forget it kinda.
How do you test for either of those?
I think this is actually a big reason for the ascendance of big-box stores, esp. Lowes and Home Depot, and auto parts chains like O'Reilly. It's not particularly that they offer lower prices or more selection, it's that they're open after 6 pm and on Sundays when the DIYers are DIYing. Mom and pop might not have had the resources to make the experiment to stay open late for long enough for people to internalize that they were open.
We're talking about rendering a more distant bigger screen, so the solid angle and the number of pixel used is constant. The point obviously isn't to give the appearance of a tv-sized image placed 100 meters away, it's to render the appearance of a kilometer-sized screen 100 meters away.

And if you're wondering: "but then what's the difference"? The difference is based on a number of perceptual clues, such as

- at what distance do your eyes have to focus (this one isn't handled by current generation VR displays and will be the trickiest to get)

- vergence: what the angle between your eyes is

- parallax between the screen and other objects in your field of view
Well this is just awesome! Gonna try and use it often.
So Docker is beautiful and wonderful thing, and it is the future, and anybody who doesn't like it has no credibility because they just don't like change, and they are Philistines.

I stopped reading after that.
I wouldn't treat this as a complete reversal just yet. These kinds of "paradigm changing" studies get shown to be flawed all the time. It's just that the press rarely reports when that happens.
Do you feel bad for DVRing a tv show and then using the skip button to bypass commercials?
I believe there is no market for a single idea, you create a market by pleasing them day after day. And imo the best way is to ship asap, get the feedback, adjust en please.

I don't agree. A fairly simple asset control system would have detected that someone was embezzling money from the exchange. That's been standard at companies I've worked at, even though they weren't in the financial sector.

You're saddened? Why? As you say Rubin gets appropriate credit for her work within her field. Plus she doesn't even believe in Dark Matter, she made a very important contribution but now she's working on a competing theory that few care about.

Nobody knows who Kent Ford is, he co-authored Rubin's big paper.

What about Jan Oort? He came up with the idea of Dark Matter in the 1930's and some say found the first evidence for it.

What about Fritz Zwicky? Some say he's the one who found the first evidence and is the one really being left out of history.[0]

We're being taught to feel bad for women in science in situations where we don't feel bad for men. Science is full of forgotten men who made massive contributions to the world, this is about picking the woman and figuring out how to mythologize her.

Dude…getting shredded has always been the cure.
Rephrasing such a sentence undoubtedly requires far less energy than the delta v necessary to accomplish the actual maneuver.
I agree with your list mostly except for two points. Reamde should be near the top and Seveneves closer to the bottom. I found parts of SE to be interesting, but in the first part it just becomes a series of characters making more and more unrealistic choices in a survival situation.

I was really into the story until the President shows up. Then for no reason with clearly defined motivations, she starts making divisions that other well trained and selected people start following for no clear reason. It was like Neal knew where he wanted to be in 5000 years, but once he got everyone into space and Earth destroyed he didn't know how to tie them together. So he introduces Julian as a mcguffin to kill the swarm and whittle the survivors to 8 people.

And don't get me started on the mermen.
Almost to the extent of goto statements :)
UW Seattle has long been the target of a donation war between Bill Gates, Paul Allen, Intel, and others. Their CSE department is one of the richest on the campus. But space on the campus is at a very high premium. I wonder if they have options to expand to a different location.

This development will be located somewhat near the newly-accredited Bellevue College, which only recently gained 4-year degree approval. Perhaps BC will spin up their technology undergrad degree soon, then they might be able to feed undergrads into this new institute as well.

The vast majority of programmers, developers, architects, and IT that I've worked with in this area have degrees in other areas: business, sociology, English, sports therapy. It's become a tradition to major in an interesting subject during college, then leave that career behind for a better-paying job. And joining these self-taught software engineers are the ones who never attended college.

I wonder how this will impact the immigration and visa situation - I met some people in college who were not allowed to stay after graduation. The article implies that graduates will remain local and fill the glut of tech workers, but it sounds almost like Tsinghua University will be sending students there as well. So maybe it will be a program where Chinese students learn at this joint university, and then return to China?

I think its less people saying you should rebase shared history, and more people saying you should rebase without realizing shared history matters. Then some poor confused soul starts always rebasing before pushing/merging and they mess up their local history and do not know how to fix it.

A lot of git is "magic" to many developers, and the way that rebase works is certainly one of the features poorly understood.

Doesn't that kind of imply to you that energy companies or whoever have not systematically infiltrated science, as the author of this article says that green organizations have?

I feel like this thread goes:

Original author: "Green movements with deep pockets have infiltrated science!"

Poster: "Yeah, but energy companies have even deeper pockets [so it's okay if people with obvious financial incentives to believe that climate change deserves drastic action are given gatekeeper positions in science.]"

Another poster: "Yeah, and check it out! The deep-pocketed energy companies don't even get involved with science!"

...

Or... rewrite history. :) All of these problems are trivial when the commits are right next to each other; they're less trivial when they're separated by other unrelated commits.

"Don't make idiotic mistakes" isn't really advice that anyone can follow.
Committing often allows you to remember the small changes you made throughout the feature. If you let a file sit in the staging area for hours, days, weeks, you will most likely have a hard time remembering why you made all the changes.

Is there a way to do this with the staging area? o.O

There is a post on the blog discussing how the hyperbolic geometry affects the map generation and gameplay: http://zenorogue.blogspot.com/2012/03/hyperbolic-geometry-in... It is not up-to-date with some of the newest features, such as the Camelot quest, where you have to find the center of a circle of radius 28, and since such a circle has 31659398 cells inside, this is not trivial.

There is also an Euclidean mode, where you can see for yourself the things which do not work.
