The problem with the F-35 is that it's a jack of all trades and master of none. Put it up against a more nimble and agile fighter it'll lose in a dogfight every single time due to its limited aerodynamic operating range. So, what's the real purpose of the F-35? To support the military industrial complex, of course.

Docker does NOT replace configuration management tools like Chef, Puppet and Ansible. Those are still necessary for preparing the host machine which Docker containers will run on. Where Docker does alleviate/reallocate some things is in the configuration of the containers that run on those hosts. Instead of configuring the host for Ruby/Python/etc. you would move that configuration to your Dockerfile. But I think CM tools also have support for generating Dockerfiles, so there's that too.

simplest case is that it can serve as a multiple staging environment, when you have loads of APP in a single code base (often startups going about prod-market fit). With docker tech shipping speed= production speed.
Without docker you are slowed down by 2x or more.Without docker, either you set up a lot of staging environments, which is not great and costly. Or you use one single testing environment and let each of you tech person wait for hours, wasting time, while QA tries to test one branch and you have another idiot deploying another brand on staging.

Yet Another Language Speed Test: Counting Primes
If Apple really wanted to make Web Apps feel like a second class citizen, they wouldn't be adding Force Touch, custom AirPlay control support and Picture In Picture support to the upcoming version of Safari. Those are deep, native app level features that aren't even Web standards yet.

I assume Apple is underinvesting in safari simply because they have bigger fish to fry, and they are notoriously understaffed with competent engineers (or have bad project management).
Exactly the opposite, Microsoft might have worse services but their support is excellent.
Its in Apple's interest to not have Safari work well
on older machines (since they want people to buy new
machines)

Then they're failing miserably, because as I (and others in this conversation) have attested to... Safari is noticeably faster than Firefox or Chrome on older Mac hardware.

So I don't think your theory holds any water. Sorry.

(Edit: My post was unclear. I and others feel that Safari, despite its other shortcomings, is the most responsive browser on OSX - not the least.)
I know this pay button seems like simple stuff, but I like to think we've done it next-level style:

iTunes is crap, even Apple thinks so
My pet peeve with Edge is that it still doesn't fully support IndexedDB and the developers have no ETA for when that will change.

But it's still better than Safari's IndexedDB support, though, even though they've basically not touched it since IE10!

WebRTC is not really new any more - a couple of years old (and existed in other forms long before), and still not widely adopted. In fact, not adopted in a single further browser in that time, and the original two are not compatible.

Curious where you are basing your revenue numbers from. Per Apple's reported statistics for 2014[1], developers pulled in $10 billion dollars in revenue from the app store. That means that Apple's revenue from the app store should also be in the low billions (based on the 70/30 cut they take from app store sales and purchases).

All without manufacturing logistics and hardware production costs. Obviously the computing infrastructure, payment processing and software engineering of the app store has a cost, but I'd imagine much less than those involved with building, distributing and selling a computer or mobile device.

It may not generate as much as hardware sales do, but billions of dollars hardly seems like spare change.

If your target browser is IE8 and you write a bunch of html4 that looks great in IE8, I would expect it to not work anywhere else.

Not only is IE8 a snowflake but html4 is particularly hard to get a good layout working. Lots of nontrivial layouts in pure html4 (and css 1/2) require tons of browser specific hacks.
Can people elaborate on when it would be better to use a virtual machine and when it would be beneficial to use a container?
> What kind of two factor authentication? TOTP codes don't protect you against e.g. phishing.

Sure it does. TOTP codes are only good for X seconds and most phishing scammers merely collect the information to use much later (I have seen the source behind the actual phishing sites).

I have yet to hear of a story of someone's account being compromised while using TOTP (knock on wood).

But seriously though - companies like Google, Facebook, Gandi, Dropbox, and Microsoft all use TOTP. So I would wager that TOTP is pretty safe to use.
Of course you're not mistaken; the meaning is completely obvious to a native English speaker, but that doesn't describe everyone here, of course.

Is CentOS not the state-of-the-art Linux distro to run for servers (besides RHEL for support)?
The IndexedDB polyfills over WebSQL are horribly slow and buggy. You'd be hard pressed to do something non-trivial with them. Believe me, I've tried. Still better than using Safari's IndexedDB though!
Great, but what are the benefits of running Docker in AWS? You are still running VMs and you are being charged for running them. With Docker you are simply putting yet another layer of complexity, because now you have to run more beefier VMs, you now have problem with network communication between containers running on different hosts. So you will most likely need to use overlay network. You also decrease resiliency, because now when AWS terminated a single VM, all apps running on that node suddenly disappear.

I also don't get the argument about running the same container in dev/test/prod. For example my company is working on going Docker and one of the problem with these environments is that app running there has different configuration. So the idea to solve it is to create three different versions of the same container. Genius! But now are you really running the same thing in dev/test/prod? How is it different to what we did in the past? Especially that before Docker through our continuous delivery we actually were using exact same artifact on machines set up with chef that were configured the same way as in prod, while with Docker now we plan to use three different containers.
And a PAM module!
I remember someone saying that if anyone aquires AMD their crosslicensing agreement with Intel is no longer binding. So they'd loose the rights to some important x86 extensions and be unable to produce viable x86 processors.

And if Microsoft bought them they'd no longer be able to produce the chips in XBox One or PS4 since those use some of Intels extensions.
I hope libcurl supports this soon.
For one thing, if you have a single global ledger, how do you avoid the problem that miners can ignore your transactions if they want to? I have other questions, but none of them matter, really, except this one, because this implies that the score-keepers become bitcoin miners rather than banks, which makes bitcoin a non-solution to the banking problem.

If you transfer money, at what point does the transfer "happen"? If you have to wait for a miner to calculate something during a 10-minute batch of (global) transactions, doesn't this mean that a) everyone has to wait (at least) 10 minutes for a transfer to take place and b) that all global transactions for every 10 minute window have to reach the same place (e.g. the miner)? Do all miners have to agree on the contents of a block before they start mining?

Most discussions of Bitcoin seem to get bogged down in details and jargon. I think the idea is to create a single ledger that monotonically increases in size, with each block of transactions getting integrated with it by solving a (mostly) arbitrary math problem involving the value of those transactions. So I guess my main problem with the system is that it's trivial to alter blocks before integration. The secondary problem is the "waiting for transfer" issue. Or perhaps it's enough for a buyer to hand a seller a signed message saying "I pay you $50" which the seller can a) look at the global ledger to make sure they have the money, and b) integrate into the ledger at their leisure. Which implies there's a double-spending possibility in the window between handing the seller the message and the seller passing the message to the miners for integration.
If you're familiar with Java, think of a docker container like a WAR or EAR, except it can contain ANY dependency, not just Java code. Database, binaries, cache server, you name it. The implementation is vastly different, but the effect is a deployment artifact that can be configured at build time, and easily deployed to multiple servers.

What people often forget is that there was a time when IE6 was actually better than the alternatives (on Windows anyway). Around the time it was released Navigator was the main competitor and that was getting progressively less stable and failed to keep up with the way the web was evolving. And by "evolving" I don't just mean new techniques/standards/whatever - simply the way the size of things was growing as people started to commonly have access to decent bandwidth. A key example I remember well is large nested tables (semantic markup was even less easy to get right cross-browser at that point) - Navigator would sometimes spin the CPU for a full minute to render a page that IE would throw out in seconds.

This is the secondary reason IE gained share quickly (the primary one being bundling, of course). Then Netscpae fell over and it didn't have competition at all for a while so MS simply stopped trying (why work to improve when there is no competition and you can use the resources to work on something else?) so IE gained even more share on Windows (other OSs were not large enough in the desktop market to figure at that point, and mobile browsing was embryonic) without any effort from MS. It wasn't until Firefox got to the point of being enough better to attract a large share that the tables started turning and even then the change was slow. Opera was significant around the time too, but it not being free (or not free without adverts) was a sticking point that stopped it being widely adopted.

That is a key problem that hopefully can't play out the same way these days though. No one browser, even mobile safari, is so commonly used that if it fails to keep up it can't start to be ignored, and away from iDevices we don't have the pure binary choice so if B doesn't keep up with A C and D probably will and B will be forced to (or it won't matter so much if B dies).

"but technical strong people like yourself"

I like the sound of that. I actually have run my own mail servers since the mid 90's [1] but I am more of a business guy who knows computers than a strong technical guy the way that I see it.

Interesting, I didn't know giffgaff was actually directly related to O2 besided using their network. Out of curiosity, I tried to find some information on Three and got a little surprise: "In January 2015, Li Ka-shing entered into talks with Telefónica to buy its British mobile division O2 for around $15.4 billion. In March 2015, Li Ka-shing confirmed it will be purchasing Telefónica's UK mobile division for £10.25bn subject to regulatory approval by competition regulator, Ofcom." So it seems Three is going to own both O2 and giffgaff by buying Telefónica?

"the re-ignition of the "browser wars" when Google launched Chrome, and Apple got serious with Safari by moving to WebKit"

Moving to WebKit? Only if you count CyberDog, I guess. Safari was always WebKit based.

Also, your phrasing could be read as if Chrome came before Safari, but Safari is from 2003 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Safari_version_history), Chrome from 2008 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Google_Chrome_release_history).

- maintain consistent dev/test/prod environments

We're pretty heavily invested in Docker. To this point, it's really nice knowing that all the developers are operating in consistent environments.

An additional bonus is that using Docker makes it really easy to propagate infrastructure changes to the rest of your team for use in development. And, more importantly, know those infrastructure changes are consistent across local dev setups.

As an example, I recently incorporated Sphinx search into a project we were working on. I didn't want to require devs to install Sphinx on their own machines and get it up and running for search to function properly. I also didn't want devs to have the overhead of running Sphinx for search on their local boxes unless they were actively working on something related to search. Basically, I wanted search to be optionally configured to run on startup.

I used a DockerFile to setup Sphinx in its own container, pushed the DockerFile to a Tools source repository we use, and then incorporated the build and running of that container into our startup scripts (just some simple orchestration stuff for the local machine written in bash). Now, if a dev wants a containerized search mechanism they run a simple bash script to build that container, then run another command to spin up our dockerized web app with a connection to a running sphinx search container. We do this for all of our services: mysql, redis, sphinx, the web app itself, and anything else we might need.

As an added bonus, all the Docker CLI work and orchestration of our application is easily hidden behind a shell script. If a dev wants to run the webapp, they simply run: app server dev. If they want the app with search they run: app server dev search from the command line. Developers never need to know what's going on under the hood to get their job done. From their perspective, it just works.

Google provides some great services, but support is lacking.

I suggest, for the future: 1) use two factor authorization 2) use a separate email service because email is so important that you need the best support, etc. that you can get (I use Fastmail) 3) periodically download your Google data so if you ever need to set up a new Google account, you have some of your old context

I do still use GMail, but as a backup email.

I am going to start teaching free Internet security and privacy classes at my local library so I have been thinking a lot about these issues. Google, Facebook, Twitter, etc. provide really nice services, but it is important to consider privacy issues and have a plan for using these "free" services.

IIRC TIS-100 is implemented using Unity, which doesn't really give you a lot of leeway as to when you update and render (e.g. you choose a framerate and it renders and updates your objects at that rate). Admittedly, since most of the time in TIS100 the screen does not change, if it were implemented using a custom engine this could be fixed.

For desktop dungeons, I'm not aware of the specifics about that game (though I have played it), but generally, if you're using OpenGL or DirectX to render, repainting only part of the screen isn't an option, so if anything is animated (no matter how slight the animation), you have to redraw the screen every frame. There are exceptions to this (like the mouse pointer, although this requires platform specific code), but not many of them.
What gets me is that the problem is very easy to solve. Bring in property tax brackets, increase the top rate.
Try programming that way for a few more years. It will wear you down.
