Sincere Thanks. If five years later you have a "unicorn" business perhaps a substantial monetary token of appreciation would be appropriate.
Thanks for sharing. You allow the user to set the expected return (default of 7%) but assume zero volatility, which is unrealistic. I suggest adding an annualized volatility input -- for stocks you could use a default of say 18%. Ideally the output should show a range of outcomes, since stock returns are stochastic.

There is a forum called Bogleheads for financial planning by individual investors. I suggest presenting your calculator there.

> However the difference between docker image and openVZ images is the inclusion of an init system.

No it isn't. Most people don't use an init system with Docker images. However, one of the top-10 popular images uses one -- the Passenger Phusion base images. They make a pretty compelling argument why you should.

None of these arguments are relevant in the big picture. Where Docker shines is the package management, not the virtualization. As a package management system, it is brilliant -- though incomplete. The package management could be fully content-addressable, and at which point, we'll have something more brilliant than what it is now. But it isn't, and I doubt anyone will try it until after this core concept gets adopted into the mainstream.

Ten years ago in 2005, I've heard these same types of arguments about cloud providers, the Zen hypervisors, and the AWS API. I've seen old mainframe folks rolling their eyes saying the technology is old, and this is hyped up. Of course it's hyped up; but unless you can look past the hype and your contempt, you won't see what's really there. No one is really arguing about cloud technology now, and the hold-outs are outnumbered by the majority.

Yes, that is what the crumple zones are for!

Not sure what you mean by this:

The occupants don't have to absorb the impact if the crumple zones take it!

I guess decent seats will do a lot to protect the occupants. A few years back I was a rear-seat-passenger in one of these https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/5/50/Nissan_M... when it was rear-ended. Luckily our driver WAS on the brake and didn't go forward into the cars in front - unlike the car behind us and the car behind them and the car behind them!

Security. Also 'growth hacking'; I'm not sure if that will actually up your salary, but knowing "everything" about SEO, analytics, a/b testing, email marketing, blah blah can definitely specialize you within an org.

EDIT: Employers also hire for 'tech stack' specialization, even though it's usually not necessary. For example, I'm only really recruited because I have demonstrate-able Rails expertise. In reality, I've also worked in Node.js and Java environments, and I'm pretty much just as productive after a few weeks.
I disagree. The person that will impede his ability to accomplish actual work because of his subjective aesthetic preferences is substantially less "mentally capable" than a person that will tolerate a bit of ugliness for greater efficiency. Again, it's a matter of degree because there are some programs that are so "ugly" that they are unusable, but the grandparent's specific example was Safari v. Firefox, and while Firefox may not conform to Apple's aesthetic standard exactly, it's far from unusable. The GP admitted that both Firefox and Chrome were superior to Safari in tangible ways that affect productivity, but that they continue to use Safari because they think it's prettier. I cannot comprehend that POV and have no respect for people who hold it, and that expands outside of software too.
This is their mid-quality mobile web version (predominantly for smartphone users with non-native apps), they actively maintain it alongside all of their other platforms (including two other quality mobile web versions for less and greater bandwidth).

In the pre-smtp days, email links were over UUCP, which was often relayed via dial up lines which connected intermittently, on a schedule (e.g. every hour).

i haven't read anything that says Apple is sitting on a huge supply of unsold watches. In fact, isn't Apple really good at adjusting manufacturing so they avoid exactly this scenario?

When I was at the Apple store last week trying one on, they didn't have my model in stock (42mm space gray). I only got a watch yesterday in a Manhattan location.
This isn't true.

The way VMs handle this doesn't carry the same semantics as the way you can with Docker. There's a finer-grain composability with Docker that is much more awkward with VMs.

Docker may not be as great as a virtualization tool as VMs -- security concerns, complexity, etc. -- but it is a much better package management tool.

Far as I understand it, the investment market exists on the edge between actively managed and passively managed funds.

Actively managed funds exploit inefficiencies in the market, but the more active funds there are, the less their returns through competition. Passive funds are wonderful when the market is efficient, but the more passive funds there are, the more inefficient the market, and the more profit active funds can make. This should create a natural equilibrium between active funds and passive funds where the market should "settle" and returns are optimal for both parties.

Anyone know how to calculate that?
Equality isn't about people being literally identical. Nobody actually believes that. There are troubling facts like how men as a rule have a really hard time becoming pregnant that nobody denies.

Equality is about equal treatment. It's about judging the individual on their own merits, not some group they happen to belong to. "Men and women are equal" doesn't mean women are equally muscular and men can have babies. It means that when writing a law, selecting an employee, or counting a vote, you don't change your approach based on whether the person is a man or a woman.

There is nothing wrong with saying, for example, most of our warehouse workers are men because more men are able to do the heavy lifting required. There's nothing unequal about that. What equality demands is that you never say, I will not consider you for a warehouse job, regardless of your actual strength, because you are a woman and all women are too weak for it.

It's not actually that complicated IMO.
1) Love the idea. I think that would be a great visualization.

You can always specialize by domain. It's not too hard to take general web development experience and apply it to finance for a nice pay raise. You can do even better by transitioning away from web stuff to "core" parts of financial systems like trading or risk systems.
In my experience (as one of those "big boys"), it's usually more traditional virtualization, typically on top of a bare-metal hypervisor like Xen (nowadays via Amazon EC2, though there are plenty of bigger companies that run their own Xen hosts), ESXi, SmartOS, or something similar. Even more recent is the use of "operating systems" dedicated to a particular language or runtime; Ling (Erlang on Xen) is an excellent example of this.

On one hand, this tends to offer a slightly stronger assurance against Linux-level security faults while also enabling the use of non-Linux stacks (such as BSD or Solaris or - God forbid - Windows, along with just-enough-OS (or no OS whatsoever)). Proper virtualization like this offers another layer of security, and it's generally perceived to be a stronger one.

On the other hand, the security benefits provided on an OS level (since now even an OS-level compromise won't affect the security of the whole system, at least not immediately) are now shunted over to the hypervisor. Additionally, the fuller virtualization incurs a slight performance penalty in some cases, and certainly includes the overhead of running the VM.

On the third hand, bare-metal hypervisors tend to be very similar to microkernels in terms of technical simplicity and compactness, thus gaining many of the inherent security/auditing advantages of a microkernel over a monolithic kernel. Additionally, in many (arguably most) environments, the slight degradation of performance (which isn't even guaranteed, mind you) is often much more tolerable than the risk of an OS-level bug compromising whole hosts, even if the risk of hypervisor-level bugs still exists.

I've been working as a consultant for a number of years and I think the biggest difference is the inconsistent salary. As I recall there was a recent poll someone posted on HN and that was the main reason people don't go into consulting. Consulting also suits a certain type of person because it's a hustling game. You can always make more, but that means there's no light to flip off at 5pm.

I'm not sure if I agree that the UX of docker is all that great if you're inferring that docker somehow is more intuitive or easier to understand. The sheer amount of confusion from so many people out there about what docker does is evidence to that.
"A gun ban is a reasonable and effective way of reducing the number of school shootings"

I just wanted to debunk this myth. As you pointed out there is more to it.

I was thinking a lot and I think any sort of gun ownership should be tied to employment and mental status. This is the easiest to filter out people like most of the mass shooters and criminal elements. I am not sure what is required in Finland to own a gun (any kind) but I am sure that it is not like here (at least in some states). There is an entire industry built on buying guns in states that anybody can get one and smuggling it to states with more strict laws. This just helps the criminals to get armed while exposing civilians to violence.

In Switzerland some of the ex-army people can keep they assault rifles and this drives down the chance of violent crime because the criminals know that there can be a trained soldier in the next house who won't hesitate to use the weapon. I try to dig up the study about this.

Please don't use downvoting for disagreement it is not supposed to be used for that. If you disagree reply and show the points where you disagree with me.
You're right, but I think if an early stage company has "developers get quiet working conditions" in its DNA, it's more likely to persist as the company grows.
On OpenVZ, I can edit /etc/network/interfaces for each CT and can assign a static IP, for one example. Can I not do that for Docker? Sorry if this is naive, I don't know much of anything about Docker.
"specialize" is good advice to get paid more. Specialization is why wall street people get paid so much.

There are typically only a handful of people with relevant expertise trading [XYZ esoteric product], and when a company wants to enter that new business line, they have no choice but to settle for someone inexperienced or pay up for specialization.

Choosing the proper specialization is a different story...

It might be an interesting adjunct to how a part of the tech community treated one of their own with acceptance but beyond that, no, not terribly relevant. If anything, that's entirely incidental to the story, other than the fact that the Acorn community was very accepting of her transition.

Consider the following scenario. Let's say Sophie was born female and never needed to transition. Now, let's say that she got married after Acorn folded in the late '90s, and took her husband's name. In that case, we'd refer to her by the name she uses now, not the name she used then. The same goes in this case.

It depends on what you want to do, of course, but the standard tools for software packaging is deb and rpm.

The management tools are fairly decent, and the question "which CVEs are we vulnerable to our production environment" or "were are we still using Java 6" shouldn't be more than a keypress away.

Neither deb/rpm nor containers are an excuse for not using configuration management tools however. Don't believe anyone who says so.

I had some coworkers that really couldn't deal with noise or open-plan offices. For them, it's really important that they have a quiet private office. For the majority of my coworkers, they didn't care, and did just fine in an open-plan office.

I think it's one of those things where if it's important to you, it's really important to you, but it's not important to all that many people. Which would make it a good sorting filter for a job-matching website. I don't think it'd really send much of a signal to companies regarding the relative merits of each, but it sends a very strong signal to employees who care regarding which companies might be a good fit for them.
