I'll take a stab at it, at least my perspective on it from the "enterprise application" trenches.

It's amazing how complicated many multi-project, multi-levels-of-indirection rube-goldberg-machine-like solutions are to accomplish the most trivial of tasks. The ratio of actual "doing the actual required functional work" code to various "architectural best practices" and other plumbing is I'd speculate often in the neighborhood of 1:20.
Well, you're renting a server.

I'd recommend getting your own allocation and running your own network and AS if you want to offer VPN services.
"As Schopenhauer says, when you look back on your life, it looks as though it were a plot, but when you are into it, it’s a mess: just one surprise after another. Then, later, you see it was perfect."

Weird. When I look back on my life, I see blunders, randomness and missed opportunities. There's a great deal that I would change if I could do it over. I'd have thought that was the same for most people.
> Could you do some arithmetic?

Its not a matter of arithmetic. Its a matter of understanding that the kind of arithmetic you suggest doesn't make sense, because an asset doesn't have to be subject to corporate income tax on the process by which it increases in value for the proceeds derived from it to be subject to favorable capital gains taxes rather than normal income taxes. E.g., among other things, real estate investments.

> This is simple arithmetic.

The issue isn't with arithmetic, its about the justification for ascribing menaing to the arithmetic you are choosing to do.

> Suppose I'm paid $100, taxed $20 on labor income. Then I invest the remaining $80, cash out at $90 and pay $2.50 in cap gains. I've then paid another 2.8% (adjusted for NPV).

And, so? You paid taxes at the rate applicable to labor on the $100 of labor income, and taxes at the rate applicable to capital on the $10 of capital income. This isn't "double taxation" -- the portion of the income on which you pay taxes at the rate applicable to labor income isn't taxed as capital income, and vice versa.

> Taxes on capital income always come after labor income

First, so what? "After" is irrelevant to the discussion, its still separate taxes on separate buckets of income. Chronological sequence isn't relevant to the discussion of Summers claims that there is a double taxation that comes from a combination of labor income taxes and capital income taxes.

Second, in any case, as well as being irrelevant, that's untrue in the general case. While capital assets may be purchased with after-tax labor income so that there is a sense in which the capital-income-generating event and associated taxes follow after a labor-income-generating event and associated taxes, capital assets may be created or generated by events other than purchases from the proceeds of labor income, in which case the capital income, and associated taxes, are not after some kind of even loosely-connected labor income and associated taxes.
Doesn't this go against the 'cattle not pets' philosophy? Even though they're just moving RAM, it gives you the impression of permanence of a given state.
Then you're paying too much attention to the wrong part of the analogy.
Yeah. The main reason that there has been any progress at all is that countless thousands of people have been working at it, and occasionally somebody will come up with an idea that will stick. Countless other (possibly brilliant) ideas will be ignored and die.
My understanding about using unikernels is that it helps you optimize. Unikernels allow you to trade built in safety and portability for customization and performance.

If there is only one process, the webserver, why deal with a scheduler?

If you're not using the safety features of an OS why have them?

Why context switch if its not needed?

You're hosting a key value store on an SSD. Why deal with a file system abstraction?

Basically, as I understand it, unikernels are trying to democratize application deployment "on the metal" (or currently on xen) without the legacy fundamentals that drove the designs of OSes like Windows or Linux which were built for shared mainframes in university basements.

For more info here is Xen talking about unikernels, http://wiki.xenproject.org/wiki/Unikernels
Yes, I am curious too. The reason for my curiosity is I have been successful via diet as well, so it's to see if we're doing the same thing.

Allow me to rephrase.

Assuming arguendo that their was any such admittance, which there was not, in plain English two courts have now found him legally not liable for any crime, and one court found that he was subject to an illegal arrest and search.

No crime was committed. I cannot write this either in more simple English, nor in more precise terms.

I refer you to the court documents and the appeals court decisions for further discussion of this now legally established fact.

Currently, most IoT data are not used. For example, on an oil rig that has 30,000 sensors, only 1 percent of the data are examined. That’s because this information is used mostly to detect and control anomalies—not for optimization and prediction, which provide the greatest value.

There must be a wealth of data in the other 99%, but you'd have to filter out a bit of noise, preferably closer to the sensor than to some central server so you don't clog the internet with unimportant traffic.

I think the grass is always greener on the other side. I started with SICP in Scheme (Racket) in high school (our teacher had taught at Berkeley over the summer, I think). I don't feel any special reverence for Scheme, and don't particularly feel either way about functional programming. It's just another tool in the toolbox and I don't feel like my smart peers who started with Python are at any disadvantage whatsoever.

I do think that another major advantage for Python is the fact that you can do cooler things with it, faster. CS has a serious funnel problem and the quicker we can get students to do cool things with CS (GUI stuff, web stuff), the better CS education will be.

Unboxing the Hero 4 Session, the smallest GoPro ever

Better languages: {C#, C++14, Go, Rust} > Java, {ES6, TypeScript} > JavaScript, and Python keeps getting better thanks to Python 3 and an better libraries.

Scaling: OpenCL and CUDA have both taken off, delivering everything they promised. Hadoop matured and spawned variants, and now Spark is starting a new cycle. Thanks to Amazon and Google we now have cheap computing cycles on tap with APIs usable by ordinary developers.

It seems to me that only Web Development and Mobile Apps are a morass. But web development was bound to be a step backwards given its strange history, while mobile app development can only be as good as the underlying platforms, which started from really rudimentary to get where they are now.
the backlash against Pao is from all the major subs /history /science /video /iama and the rest. Thousands of subs turned there subs private in protest to force the 'new management' to come to the table and answer some urgent questions and address major issues that are effecting all the subs.

This is about a series of bad decisions by Pao and her 'new management' trying to make fundamental changes to how Reddit works which most Redditors think will damage the community and viability of the site. Possibly to the point of a mass exodus as Reddit is turned into DiggBook 2.0.

Narrative spinning about 'haters' and 'misogynists' is deflection. Trying to cover the bad decision making and contempt under a 'victim hood status'. Much like Pao used fake gender discrimination allegations to try and extort millions of dollars from her former employer. False victum hood and extortion is what Ellen Pao stands for. And perhaps anti free speach censorship and spreading toxic corporate marketing.
It's a form of punishment that, just like corporeal punishment, hopefully serves as a deterrent to future misdeeds.

I'm confused. If this was what you were going to reply with, why on Earth did you bother asking the question?

Anyone who's even remotely techy knows why their smartphone battery lasts far less than a day on average. That doesn't mean that they're happy with the (often fashion driven) tradeoffs made by phone designers, or that they don't actually want a vaguely-smart-phone that also has battery life of a week or more.
That first finished landscape piece took about 5 hours. And that felt like an eternity to me. I've actually pushed myself time and time again to be more patient with my work. And it's paid off in producing better pieces each time.

I think you are confusing two (or more) meanings of the word "harassment" - unless you can provide an example of somebody convicted for saying something not nice about other person on the Internet, at least in the jurisdiction where freedom of speech is not completely dead yet (e.g. not New Zealand where they just killed it this month).

> which in general are when what you do and say starts violating the rights of other people.

Somebody saying something that you won't like does not violate your rights. You do not have a right to control what everybody else is saying and demand them saying only things that are pleasant to you.

> And that's just plain wrong

Being an asshole may be wrong. But if you want to ban people from being assholes, and in general from doing anything wrong (by your definition of "wrong", or anybody else's), please do not call it "freedom".

Of course, Reddit - or any private forum - has no obligation to maintain freedom of speech, and can impose any restrictions they like. I have no objection to it. I just have an objection to hijacking the term "freedom" to describe it. Find some other word, this one is already being used to describe something else.

> Reddit is absolutely correct to ban subs that are harassing people

I'm not sure I understand reddit enough, but how you can harass somebody with a sub if said person never visits the said sub? The mechanism of harassment is not clear to me here.
The feature they're describing sounds like a good fit for Google Now. I don't know what "stock" is well enough to know whether Now counts, but Now definitely has tight integration with other Google services already; if RideWith appeared in there, it probably wouldn't raise many eyebrows.

This might be a dumb question, but I figure it wouldn't hurt to ask anyway! I'm really interested in learning how to create art, and skill-wise I'm currently right where you were at the start. If I were to follow your exact path, it would take me many years to get anywhere near your level, and while I'm up to the challenge, I don't have four solid years to devote to a new college run at the moment. However, looking back on my computer science education (which forms the basis of my professional career), I can definitely see how I could have acquired the skills to get me where I am today in far less time had I known exactly which areas to focus on ahead of time. Same with my music education; in my music courses, we covered what I had been studying (half-heartedly) for most of my childhood in about a semeseter. Art-wise, do you have any suggestions for specific areas to focus on that might substantially accelerate my education?

Anyway, thanks for the great article! This might just be the kick I need to start taking art seriously. :)

Can we please kill off this old, tired fallacy that NAT provides security? NAT is not the firewall, and nobody has ever suggest removing firewalls from home routers.

> all the devices are exposed

Please tell us which shipping IPlv6 home routers with the firewall disabled, so we can avoid their terrible products.

> So if I visit evildude.com on my laptop, they will know my ipv6 address

You must be really annoyed that you have to give Amazon a valid shipping address when you want them to ship you something. When you want to ask a remote computer to send you some data, you are going to have to tell them where to send it. If you don't want that to be your local address, use some sort of proxy (e.g. Tor).

> (no NAT), and they can port scan me

Again, stop conflating NAT with the firewall. They are totally separate features. If you only have a NAT and not firewall, you can still be port scanned if the router uses static NAT, and sometimes you can source-route packets addressed to an internal address, which most NAT-without-firewall routers will happily route to the internal network.... because you left out the part that filters packets.

Why bother? IPv4 NAT "works" right now, right? So there should be no harm in using it even if NAT provides no actual security benefits? While that's a popular belief, it isn't actually true. NAT has been and continues to be incredibly damaging to not only network-software, but also damages our freedom.

When considering how technology affects the freedom and security of the people that use it, getting rid of NAT is probably right next to "encrypt everything" as the most important change we need to make to the internet (we should have done it a decade ago). We are missing a huge amount of software that wasn't even started because you have to assume everybody on IPv4 is using a "party-line" that cannot accept incoming calls. Over two decades of network software was left unwritten.

Instead software was forced to rely on central servers with real IPv4 addresses. You see to have a lot of concerns about privacy - which is good - but advocating for an IPv6 version of NAT is the same as arguing that services should remain centralized. You are arguing that we should remove the most important feature of IP networking: that any network address can be a server, giving everybody the ability to publish without needing permission[1] from a central authority.

Unfortunately, this is an uphill fight, because far too much of the tech industry is currently finding the role of "central authority" to be very profitable[2], and so we have a lot of people that see NAT's limitations as a good thing.

The article also mention EDIV, which caused the most hilarious bug explanation I ever heard.

I worked on a VMS device driver in 1990. We had to resolve every single crash, because DEC support tracked the outcome of each crash dump file.

Our driver was crashing a VAX 9000 at Abbot Labs, a nightmare because it was a mainframe-class machine. In every crash dump I could show that the registers contained impossible values for the code sequence, always traced back to code involving an EDIV instruction (used to get a remainder).

DEC decided the problem was "alpha particles penetrating the encapsulant". At first I thought they were joking, but they were serious. They replaced the water cooling module around the CPU. That didn't fix the problem, so they pushed it back to us.

After much back and forth, they realized it was a microcode bug in the EDIV instruction, and their microcode patch fixed it.

In the very beginning, there was no OS and applications ran directly from boot. Then people started realising that applications had lots of duplicate code to do the same tasks, and abstracted that into a library linked into every application, which eventually grew into a full OS. It looks like with all the popularity of VMs/hypervisors, which are sort of like OSs themselves, multiplexing the virtual hardware to real, and the growing complexity of OSs, we're now going back to applications without an OS. It reminds me of these:
