I would be interested to know what the infection potential would be; if it seals the wound, would that potentially seal in any infectious agents? Presumably you'd irrigate prior to usage, but it's still an interesting question. Also, would the algae involved act similar to an agar, thus providing more opportunity for infection. I wonder if the gel could be treated with an antibacterial agent.. Interesting invention!
I briefly consulted for a ecommerce search company.

It stunned me how many online stores selling millions of dollars of goods per month online are essentially incapable of giving you a csv with product id, quantity in stock, and price.

Somewhere in the shit-mass of code that is their site there must be some way to determine precisely what items are in stock and what the retailer would charge for them right now, but it's apparently incredibly difficult to export that : rolleyes :

Our solution was a combination of a semi-busted daily/hourly catalog export, a site scraper, some machine learning, and some human intervention. It was an enormous pain.

ps -- there are definitely ecommerce sites out there where the price you pay depends on your navigation path through the store. I remain unsure if this was intentional or accidental.
I wish others would also appreciate a little bit of humor on HN, but everything like that gets downvoted all the time.
>Software development is historically driven by a population that values intelligence above all else.

Yes. Because we aren't sexists or racists that give people's code inherent value based on someone's gender or race. How the irony is lost on these people, I will never understand.

If you wish to be racist/sexist and judge people based on their race and gender instead of their code, feel free to start your own project. It doesn't even have to be open source and you can even deny all code contributions from cis-white males if you wish.

>In the Ruby world, we insist that “Matz Is Nice And So We Are Nice,” ignoring the sexist statements he has made with regard to diversity outreach efforts.

Not even sexist [0]. Speakers were chosen without name or gender released (a blind-pick system). Introducing discrimination into such a system is...well... discriminatory. I thought the point of diversity was to not discriminate based on race and gender?

If there were more 'minority' Ruby devs there would be more submissions for speakers by 'minority' Ruby devs, meaning a higher chance of being selected in a blind-pick. The lack of diversity is more due to statistics than an intentional lack of diversity. A blind-pick system also reduces any biases that may occur for picking person A over person B.

I find all this political garbage mixing into OSS to be hilarious. I've contributed a number of (small) fixes and changes to open source projects. The funny thing is that my name, gender, race, age, sexual orientation, and even my religion didn't matter at all. In fact, it was never even brought up! Nobody asked me if I was even human, as my avatar was a fish. They simply reviewed my code, had me fix a few formatting errors (I have a habit of hitting space after the last sentence of a paragraph, which carries over into my code), and they accepted the pull requests. No questions asked.

Not sure how you can get any more diverse than "anyone who wishes to contribute code, can contribute code". Is it by discriminating against who can contribute code? Seems counter-intuitive.

Ask HN: Best services\apps where businesses can have a public presence
Hi HN ... I am looking for promising sites and apps (whether they are established or just starting out) that allows a business to have a public presence, usually a page dedicated to that business with information, ratings, reviews, photos etc. It can be open to all businesses or just particular niches (doctors, real estate, restaurants, hotels, startups, software companies etc).

I am not interested in sites where they have just purchased a $49 directory theme and added some data (unless they have gained decent traffic) but quality products that look good, work well and have a future.

There are some really impressive projects out there and most small business owners would not know that they are either listed there or there is an opportunity to promote their business (usually for free). Also they need to make sure their information is accurate and complete and the presence promotes their business in the best way possible.

I am looking to promote these services to business owners to help them build and manage their overall online presence & reputation .. there is no cost to be included.

we already include over 700 services and apps worldwide listed at:
https://www.mypresences.com/services/

So if you know of or have a great app or site not listed I would love to know more.

Thanks.
No expert here, but I would guess the important bit is the "root": value, which in the example points to rootfs. rootfs, I suppose, would be the directory on the host system containing the entire root filesystem that is to be mounted at /. This could be created using overlayfs, or a COW filesystem like btrfs, which would be how you'd achieve layers.

In this way, the notion of layers is external to the container spec.

Again I'm no expert, so corrections welcome.
One big advantage of zero-based indexing is that it's consistent with division with remainder. This is especially nice when working with multidimensional arrays.
I don't think anyone's trying to pass laws banning owning one's own vehicle once self-driving cars become ubiquitous. I imagine you'll always be able to own your own car, and store whatever in it.

(I also suspect your insurance will start to climb through the roof once self-driving cars do become ubiquitous, because computers will be able to be far better drivers than people, once the software's in good working condition.)
I believe I saw more IE6 users in the last year than drivers with 50+ year old cars.
Given that kdbus support was merged[1] in mainline systemd, I feel the situation is one of "I see you're not merging my friend's patches... would be a shame if the only remaining implementation of init would support only slow-dbus or kdbus..."

..and why shouldn't:

if (someStr.indexOf("John") !== -1) { ... }

vs

if (someStr.indexOf("John")) { ... }

Or when _teaching_ it's kind of funny saying "So, we take the first element, that is the zeroth, then the third (I mean the real third, not the one with index three)...".

OK, but to be entirely honest, I both sides have pros and cons. And as long as a language/program/person is reasonably consistent (vide https://xkcd.com/163/), there is not a big difference.

Mathematics is not about numbers. It's about dealing with any kinds of formal systems. Writing a singe expression in any programming language is already as mathematical as it gets, because this expression has a very well defined meaning.

As for being "good", I saw numerous examples of people who could not get mathmatics as it was taught in a school or a university, but had no problems understanding the advanced mathematical concepts later, coming to them through programming. In fact, programming might be the best possible way to learn mathematical thinking.

It's true that in Smith v. Maryland "[t]he police did not get a warrant or court order before having the pen register installed", so the original case was a voluntary disclosure in that sense. But installing pen registers isn't voluntary at all these days:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pen_register#Pen_Register_Act

So it's reasonable to speak of the third party doctrine being applied to compelled data disclosures, not just voluntary ones.
Sure, but in anything resembling a competitive market I can't see any reason to believe a newly-acquired skill will hold its value less well in future if I move to a new company offering a higher salary because of it, as in the scenario proposed above.

I would think the possibility of not being miserable for a third of your life would be more than enough incentive.

I suppose though if you're worldview is that you're destined to be nothing but a cog in the meat grinder of humanity, then that must sound like a pipe dream. And frankly, it doesn't sound like it would be possible for one to ever be happy even in a good environment with that kind of deeply cynical worldview.

San Francisco Cablecar Museum , free enjoyable and an adventure to find - http://www.cablecarmuseum.org/

Bonus photo-op view - Hyde & Lombard Street - (top of the twisty street) you can catch a snap of a cresting cablecar set against a great view of Alcatraz. If there arent too many gawkers in the way - might want to go to the next street lower on hyde to get the pic.

Cartoon Art Museum - http://cartoonart.org

Some great Japanese (toys, Manga, food, Books, etc.) shops in Japan town in SF (Geary & Filmore)

Collect old magazines? The Magazine in the Ternderloin (kinda seedy but if you are into collecting old mags a place to check)

San Francisco Public Library - besides the massive computer section, a library card will get you access to their e-books when not in SF

Check out SV book stores their computer sections are usually well stocked and up-to-date

That sounds really nice. At my current position, we never get time just to refactor, though supposedly that time is "just around the corner." We are always cranking against tight deadlines.

In general, I would avoid selling software without a service agreement.

Bugs are a thing that happens. You will endeavor to make them happen less, because you're a competent professional. But because you're a competent professional, you know that some will happen anyway. So structure your business deals such that both you and your customer have a good answer to the problem. You shouldn't take a wash for being available, and they shouldn't be left hanging with nobody to get help from.

This gives you a tidy source of recurring revenue and an easy way to nudge up your average deal value. It gives your customers a reliable source for fixes and changes. It's good business all around.
By price? Or by number? This is an important distinction. I have several tiny VPS servers sitting idle, but they cost less than $10/month each. I do not have any giant AWS machines sitting idle, though.
I find playing a bit of brown noise (it's like white noise with a bit less hiss - you can generate arbitrary lengths of it with Audacity) along with whatever you're listening to in the headphones really helps dull the background noise as well without adding any distraction.
There is no point in doing such things in C, since C is just too low level.

What is normally done is a very simple and stupid, but extensible language bootstrapped with C (or whatever else), and then grown up to a level when it's convenient to implement a functional language compiler (i.e., at least higher order functions and some pattern matching).

I wrote about such a bootstrap some time ago: https://combinatorylogic.wordpress.com/2015/01/14/bootstrapp...
Depends on what you think you're trying to protect against. Having foreign powers or foreign mafias in control of large parts of your infrastructure seems like a big threat.
If that's abuse "how can you take the abuse you get on a sit?" Ok, I'll take his expert word that the gag order was plainly abusive.

Watts speaking at the Washington monument vs Watts saying something similar at an underground Panthers meeting where everyone is armed to the teeth - trivial distinction to make. Idiot talks shit on the internet? I don't think it's trivial to make the distinction. In fact, that's the exact ambiguity anonymous internet jerks rely on to try to intimidate, say, women whose views they don't like.

But, in the interests of brevity, I'm willing to concede the possibility I'm the proverbial frog blissfully swimming in the cauldron of an imminently boiling police state, suitably seasoned with a generous helping of obviously untrue threats.

The horrible truth is that regularly writing crap code that bursts into flames and then making flashy, heroic efforts to put those fires out is the fast track to the top. Taking the time to produce quality artifacts feels really good, but it is a rare company indeed that can recognize the value in this.

I'll echo other commenters and say that if you have this stink on you and/or you're company isn't appreciating your work, it's probably time to move on (esp after four years). You can't fix companies--all you can do is find a better match.

As for myself, I'm a slow engineer. In my decades, if anything I've gotten somewhat slower. At the same time, my quality has risen dramatically. I write bugs rarely enough these days that I've gotten quite rusty on debuggers; usually a few judicious print statements (at most) will point out the problem.

The key is that I design and write code that has a "shallow" bug surface. When bugs happen, they're almost never those deep-dive kind that lead to a week-long bug hunts.

Don't sweat it too much. Keep sharpening your axe, and if you go six to twelve months without feeling your work is appreciated, run.
> I would think the possibility of not being miserable for a third of your life would be more than enough incentive.

So, your argument essentially boils down to "tell me what I want to know or I'll make your work life a living hell."

Please tell me the name of your employer. I don't ever want to work at the same company as you (or, at the very least, I don't want to be on the same org chart as you).
> Although at some point they'll probably just make many many fewer HDDs so the price will stop moving much

To clarify, the Open Container Project was started by Docker with the help of the Linux Foundation. Then other vendors were invited (including AppC maintainers). We did this because there was a clear demand for transforming a de-facto standard (the Docker format) into a proper standard (OCF), and for opening the governance of our runC implementation.

Since AppC is a completely different format from what Docker uses, starting from that would have defeated the purpose. However it made a lot of sense to invite the people behind AppC to join, so that we could all build a better spec and implementation together, instead of arguing on technical details that don't matter.

> most national ISPs

Which nation are you talking about? I suppose I'd guess US but it would help if you said.

I'm still getting uncapped broadband (albeit with vague TOS provisions) in the UK. I think the rest of Europe is probably similar.

For the record - I'd like to move towards metered billing - but with a realistically low price per GB - not a punitive one based on profiting from people that don't have the knowledge to estimate their usage.

Give me 20-40 GB at a good speed for £20/month with prices scaling linearly from there and I'll be fairly happy and no-one will get burnt.

(just checked and most providers are offering uncapped at around 20Mb/s for £20/month)
I could imagine, at some point if ISPs became militant about caps and municipal broadband and Google Fiber weren't making inroads fast enough, Netflix creating appliances similar to their OpenConnect appliance [+] for users, but with the content encrypted with a key tied to your user account. Netflix would then cache the majority of the content you consume locally.

But in many of those examples of "microaggression", the aggression is purely in the mind of the recipient. Are we to be condemned for saying _anything_ that could possibly offend? I mean, "America is the land of opportunity"---seriously, that's aggressive? What if that's my genuine conviction? Must I stop saying it because somebody for some reason takes offense at it? How many things are there in the accepted dogma of liberalism that can also cause offense? Yet nobody is receiving trainings about or having their employment status implicitly conditioned on not saying those things?

I'm sure the university was well-meaning, but its approach to "microaggression" seems to marginalize any who disagree with this novel and (in my opinion) largely vacuous approach to morality.
Australia passes Internet censorship law
hi ... we promote the services to the businesses that signup to our platform. We provide online presence and reputation management .. so if a restaurant in LA signs up we will suggest a list of services where they can have a presence based on their industry and location. The user can then see more about these services and filter and sort them to decide on where they should list their business. We then help them manage and build their presence there.

The aim is to help them discover some really great services they were not aware of before or even discover services where they have a presence but they where not aware of it.

We get business onto our platform via advertising, trade shows, word of mouth etc and that gives exposure to the services we list targeted directly to the type of business that would list there.
