I am not american either, so what? you completely disregard that any handgun, including these mythical "assault rifles" (which is stupid term by definition, it's usage which defines purpose, so why there aren't any assault pistols?) is just a tool, needing a trained hand to be used. as described below, automatic weapons are not purchasable for civilians, only their modified versions that allow single shot per trigger pull, thus making them effectively small caliber hunting rifles. If you need those, only with special hard-to-get permits, or you need to join the army (and kill few poor people for free)

if you want to stop some crazy people killing with these "assault guns" (why not called home defense guns?), you should focus on removing given dangerous individual from society, and not trying remove their access to weapons. Anything can be used to kill, including scissors, saw, pipe, baseball, knife or just good old pure hands. with current logic, all these things should get outlawed too.
No statistics in hand, but I am damn sure the amount of people killed by legally purchased "assault rifles" compared to say hit & run with cars is neglible. with similar logic I say ban cars! (and it would do so much good in other ways...)

P.S. one last thing - pro-gun-ban people completely disregard gun shooting as a means for hunting and as a fun activity at range. Many weapons, including mentioned AR-15 (civilian version of popular M16) will never be shot outside shooting range. Why use higher caliber guns instead of some puny .22? Because it's more fun!

Ah wait, we're talking maybe to same people that banned almost harmless marihuana and happily kept tobacco and alcohol roaming free on markets...

DISCLAIMER: I never owned any handgun that would require any form of registration, yet before having strong statements about what should/shouldn't be banned, I at least educate myself. Gun ban laws are, apart for some corner cases, just pure crowd idiocy and hypocrisy.
Can't it? The Great Firewall is a shining example.

My response would be "Why DevOps?". That's it. Let them talk.

Then information can be found. Interesting responses and experiences. Find a winner.

Responses, motivations, and pointers, telling me far more than, that you did to your hypothetical applicant: plant into a well and expect them to be able to jump out by having a DevOps club experience at an 'expensive' (unclear if social, financial, or other cost) club. Grow people or crush people?
If you were writing an automated Bayesian classifier to find good engineers, males would get one measly additional point towards the refer-to-a-human threshold.

In contrast, there are many other hypothetical rules that would be better predictors. Liking Star Wars, 4 points. Star Trek, 9 points. Knowing how much mana a Lightning Bolt costs, 6 points. Owning a 3-wolf shirt, 2 points. Being left-handed, 15 points. Reading HN, 40 points.

Anything you can glean statistically from a population of known-good engineers can be transformed into Bayesian classifier rules, in exactly the same way you can predict an e-mail is spam if it has certain strings in it.

But even including the one point for knowing the sex could be considered sex discrimination, even though it would be totally supported by the math. But since you likely want your threshold value to be high enough to weed out false positives, while still low enough to avoid false negatives, that one point rule is practically a waste of time. The cases where that one point makes a difference will be just those people who barely meet the threshold. If you have two people who are only just barely good enough to be considered good engineers, and otherwise exactly the same, the statistical argument says to prefer the male.

I have never met anyone that is content to hire engineers who are likely to be only barely adequate in preference to those who are likely much better. That hypothetical person is the only one who might care about male or female. Everyone else will be looking for the highest point totals, gained from criteria that are better predictors.
To the physical aspect of Solomon's point number 1. I have taught self defense in the past for years.

Rule #1:

Don't be in the situation.

Interpretation:

Obviously don't walk down a dark alley alone. But in this context, don't deal with it alone. Be sure people know you are in danger. Surround yourself with colleagues, friends and those whom you trust. Solomon is spot on: Don't be alone physically, emotionally, professionally.

Predators first isolate prey from the herd. Be smart enough to recognize this and avoid it.

And please, if a situation feels sketchy, remove yourself. Stubborn does not equal heroism. Be proactive with your safety and well being. It is yours.

Our Industry:

Our industry is _not_ fucked. I am part of that industry and I refuse to be characterized thusly.

I can sympathize with Jesse's indictment of the industry as a whole and do not cast aspersion on someone in her situation reacting as she has. I am sorry that it came to that level of frustration, pain, fear for her.

However we who are _not_ experiencing the stress of such a terrible situation are obliged to keep a level head. As a group we need to recast the cause of her frustration (and that of others in similar situations) into something more effective. Individual people in our industry are fucked. Let's identify these individuals and remove them from our industry.

Finally, to echo on another of Solomon's key points: Let's do it legally.

Thank you to Docker for seeking to identify these _individuals_ and prosecute them.
> How Can There Still Be a Sex Difference, Even When There Is No Sex Difference?

Really the article explains how
on some measure two populations
can have the same average on the
measure but still be different.

The answer is obvious: The two
distributions are different,
e.g., the two standard deviations
can be different.

Not mysterious.

But the stuff in the article about
human female brains and calico cats
is really nice to know.

But the article is one in a
series, and one of the articles
there, maybe the next one,
discusses how the distribution
and mean of number of children
per person is different
for men and women. Okay.
But the article has some
graphs of distributions, and,
very sadly, insists on
drawing the distributions
as bell curves. Yup,
bell curves and in particular
Gaussian densities were swallowed
whole at about 1930
by much of
the social sciences and
educational statistics
and is often still
accepted.

Docker is indeed fast and lightweight. It's amazing how much CPU power is freed up from not running a full on VM in VirtualBox. That said, I'm wary of running it in production
The main issue is that a lot of the 'off-topic' rules are focused around content that doesn't work on SO. It doesn't work because it's time based - asking 'What is the best IDE for X?' is subjective and changes over time. Yes, that list of answers might be useful and interesting right now, but over time, it becomes more and more outdated and eventually, downright misleading.

There is a reason SO has excellent results on Google - the content is carefully curated so that it's timeless, and editing allows it to get updated where it needs to be. Yes, sometimes good (at the time) content gets discarded, but that's the nature of it.

If you want that kind of stuff, do it somewhere more transient.

The Complete Team
How You Consist of Trillions of Tiny Machines
This article demonstrates the danger of thinking statistics is logic - you can only use statistics with the analytical framework firmly set up...not as a replacement.

The United States is just that - United. States. 38 mass shootings, however defined, means there is /less than one per State/. Guess what? That makes Finland's two /much/ higher. That's...statistically significant!

Explaining how completely incapable frequentist statistics are at describing anything at a low sample size doesn't mean that something succumbs to "random fluctuation." There is nothing random about a person deciding to take arms and shoot lots of people. Not only that, this data is based on a full population sample - it's not a survey of 5,000 people extrapolating to the whole population - it IS the full population.

And he removed the idea that the original chart was designed show - lack of data that shows compelling evidence that more restrictive gun laws prevent either mass shooting incidents or mass shooting deaths.

He should step away from the statistics - it's a loaded gun and he's not trained to use the weapon properly.

> On an ordinary Windows laptop, Saldana used the command line to invoke a utility that created a compressed file from my original video file.

> the compressed file size was about 4 KB.

> On the same Windows laptop, Saldana invoked another utility that uncompressed the 4 KB file. Uncompressing took about 10 seconds. The uncompressed file was identical to the original file.

Occam's razor: the "compressed" version was a link (shortcut, symlink, hyperlink, whatever) to the original.

> Despite maintaining a healthy skepticism, I have two reasons for believing the files were identical. First, Saldana played the uncompressed video on the Windows laptop. The uncompressed video looked exactly like the original video. That was nice, but it didn't prove anything. I wouldn't be able to identify an unfaithful video copy if it bit me on the nose.

> The second proof that the original and compressed files were identical was much more compelling. Saldana put the uncompressed file on my own USB drive. Later that day, on my own computer, I ran the uncompressed and compressed files through a bit-by-bit comparison program. Sure enough, the two files contain the exact same sequence of 0s and 1s.

> It should be noted that for security reasons, Saldana didn't copy the 4 KB compressed file to my USB drive, so I don't know what bit sequence was inside the 99.78% compressed file.

All of this is consistent with the file being a link.

A more thorough test would have performed the compression and decompression on two different, non-networked machines, so that the only information available to the decompressor is the 4K file.

After that, we need to start removing layers which can be used to obscure the results, eg. performing a more low-level analysis of the compressed version, using machines which the authors have no access to (eg. to avoid a hacked OS/driver which reports false file sizes)

Nordic Semi nRF51822, you can see it on the promotional materials. If I remember correctly the Bluetooth Low Energy stack is a binary blob and associated registers aren't documented but everything else is and you can in theory program it with an open source toolchain.

Edit: actually, it looks like even the radio registers may be (somewhat) documented, with enough detail that someone's written a half-completed open source BLE stack for it. This is the most open BLE chip I think I've seen.

Very cool on the Docker move by Travis. I still think Docker has a long way to go to over take OpenVZ. Docker is gaining steam, but it's adoption rate isn't wider than OpenVZ. Not yet.

I agree that the hosting industry isn't what it used to be. Most of the larger hosting providers are not keeping up with the current trends and deployment methods, but that is mostly due to the fact that they do not need change. Most people who are buying commodity hosting don't have a team of developers and operations guys to use all the new cool cloud methods like Docker.

I think that lots of people have lots of very self-contradictory beliefs about driverless cars.

For example: An UberX ride today generally costs between $10 and $20 here in sunny San Francisco (outside of surge). Nearly 80% of that goes to the driver! The premise of driverless cars leading to massive rides-for-hire is that driverless cars could massively reduce that cost -- probably from $10 - $20ish to $5 - $10ish.

So just there -- is ride-sharing really going to save $3? Presumably not for a $5 ride. Not for a $6 ride either. A $7 ride? Maybe! But if so Uber is sure as hell not getting a lot for driving ride-sharing.

Okay, so let's say that a driverless car would ordinarily cost you $10 per ride, and you can reduce it to $7 by sharing. First of all, note that this reduces the value of the service for you -- even if you have no safety concerns, it takes longer. Then add in the non-safety awkwardness thing. It's pretty close quarters for a relatively long ride. What if the other person is just socially awkward?

And then imagine if you will that it's someone that you feel -- rightly or wrongly -- is genuinely threatening. And you're cooped up in a Toyota Camry for 15 minutes with this person and absolutely no one to run interference for you.

For $3?

Also: if getting a driverless Uber costs $10, you should at least contemplate owning your own driverless car. $10 at current business write-off rates is about 18 miles. It sounds like in this hypothetical Uber isn't a great deal. You could realize most or all of your cost-savings by owning your own driverless car, and as a bonus you won't have to share your car with a stranger, and as a further bonus you won't get gouged at high demand times.
Probably not. Few places have strong IT security as a core value of their business.
I fully agree with this and often make this argument, usually to 100+ downvotes on reddit and elsewhere. My only addition would be that there's probably as much deviation within the genders as between them. But that doesn't make gender a meaningless thing. The frequency of those aspects is important too. Only, say, 10% of women are "butch" personality types but 90% of men are. So holding up a butch woman as an example and going "See, see gender is meaningless" is unconvincing.

I think eventually society will sober up and realize that when we talk about social aspects, more than likely we're talking about personal types. Certain ones simply exist with higher frequency per gender.

I feel like we're on this long path of migrating away from "default brain" assumptions made about race, nationality, gender, etc and will probably settle on something like the modern day understanding of personiality types. Its scary how well I fit the INTJ mold. The idea that I represent all men or am part of masculine culture is fairly ridiculous. Ladies, I find male ISTJ's and ESTJ's hard to deal with as well.

I'm sure this is not the answer you are looking for, but you can 'docker export' a container to a tar file and examine your image file that way.

(1) You're exporting a container, not an image, so if you wanted to export your image, deploy it to a container first. Run echo or some other noop if you need to.

(2) This is similar to how git operates. You wouldn't want to examine your git commits interactively (assuming that means the ability to change them in place) well, if you did, git has --amend, but no such thing exists in Docker.

An image with a given id is supposed to be permanent and unchanging, containers change and can be re-committed, but images don't change. They just have children.

It can get hairy when you reach the image layer limit, because using up the last allowed image layer means you can't deploy to a container anymore. So, how do you export the image? 'docker save' -- but 'docker save' exports the image and all of its parent layers separately. (you need to flatten it, for example?)

I once wrote this horrible script[1] whose only purpose was unrolling this mess, since the latest image had the important state that I wanted in it, but I needed the whole image -- so, untar them all in reverse order and then you have the latest everything in a single directory that represents your image filesystem.

The horror of this script leads me to believe this is an oversight as well, but a wise docker guru probably once said "your first mistake was keeping any state in your container at all."

A great article that goes into the effect of differences between men and women is this:

> Speaking to Dezeen in New York last month, Bitonti said that the 3D-printing industry needed to open up its intellectual property so that the design and manufacturing community could help drive forward improvements.

> "They've got to open up," he said. "It's not that they need to open up all of their IP, but it's a lot of things. You see a lot of tinker toys because they're treating it like a copy machine. I think they need to change their mind and understand that it's a manufacturing technology."

> He added: "The industry is just completely choked by intellectual property law right now."

There is Ceruzzi's book mentioned elsewhere, but you might find some others interesting too.

- "The Soul of a New Machine" is about the development of a mini-computer.

- "What The Dormouse Said" is a fun read and exploration about counterculture, the Silicon Valley and microcomputers and on why it all happened together.

- "Where Wizards Stay Up Late" is an account on the dawn of the Internet.

- "Computing in The Middle Ages" is a first-person account on the birth of the personal computer. No, not the one you thought.

- "Accidental Empires" seems a little bit dated in retrospective, but it's an exceedingly fun to read book and will give you great insight on what we were thinking about the personal computer revolution while it happened around us.
So "What do you want?" is "I want to live in the UK". I could be wrong, but I'm guessing that where you live trumps what you do here. It's probably worth asking yourself why you want to live there, but I presume there's a good answer (family, love the culture, etc).

So the next question is, "What kind of work skills will get me a job and a clean work visa in the UK?" This means the people you should be talking to are recruiters who bring people from your country to the UK to work in your field, to find out what they're looking for. You should also be talking to other programmers with a similar background to yours who made the transition you want to make, to find out what worked for them and what mistakes they made.

Unless you have a specific place you want to be (say, London), you should figure out where in the UK you want to be. It's a big place with a wide variety of culture and living conditions. From there, you can start looking at employers in the area, figure out what they're looking for.
