That's what you got from the article? I got the opposite. It works fine until you start to have large, complex images where build time becomes a factor and the fundamental design of Docker starts to get in the way (e.g. how it manages diffing of images, the lack of caching, and the inability to build different parts of the image in parallel). These shouldn't be as big of a deal at smaller scale.

That's not to say you're wrong; containers probably aren't that useful to most small shops. But that summary doesn't make any sense for this article.
I'm entirely serious. It's much like metalcore. People associate it with melodic stuff like Killswitch Engage, but in reality the first generation of metalcore bands were more like crossover thrash, bands like Cro-Mags and Agnostic Front. This subgenre has since been posthumously renamed to "metallic metalcore" (seriously) in order to differentiate it from the melodic metalcore everyone now associates with the term.

Same is with Gothenburg and melodeath, but that one is much less known.
Which is why people have the most success with a combination of diet and weight loss. As you lose weight, your metabolism drops, but as you exercise (and in particular when you do strength training), your metabolism increases. If you have the discipline to keep your calorie intake under control as your metabolism increases, you will lose weight.

As it turns out, bro science was accidentally correct about something.

What if I don't want corporations to own my experiences? An information-driven web with a document model is robust and can work with many different user agents. An experience-driven web with an application model is very fragile and will only be available to sighted, hearing, Mac-using people running a big 4 browser.
That's a nice pricing, particularly paying what you actually use but it's still more than 3x the cost of just storing it in S3.
Not to mention that the article confounds calories, a physical unit of energy, Calories, a unit of nutritional energy, and kilojoules, the preferred physical unit of energy.

At one point, it indicates that 3,500 calories corresponds to a pound of body weight, then later indicates this came from research suggesting that 3,500 kJ corresponds to a pound of body weight and that this is where the 3,500 calories figure comes from.

Problem is, 3,500 kJ = 836 520.076 calories = 836.520076 Calories. So which is it? 3,500 kJ per pound of body weight, 3,500 Calories, or 837 Calories, or something else?

FYI: A nutritional Calorie is actually a kilocalorie (1,000 calories). One Calorie = 4.184 kJ.

Is there a term for this type of fund? "Private equity mutual fund" maybe?
They are a monopoly. iOS is not.
Wow, that is a blatant error in the very beginning of the article:

>> it was 3,500 kilojoules, otherwise known as calories

NO! Although calories and joules are indeed two measures of the same physical quantity (energy), there is a conversion factor of 4 between them: 1 calorie = 4.18400 joules.

As a side note, the usual nutritional calorie (or "Calorie", with uppercase 'C'), is actually 1000 calories, or 4184 Joules.
I am guessing it's a failsafe in case the touch screen on the safe fails and they need to plug in a keyboard to open it / diagnose it. It's a legitimate thing to do, but you would think that the USB port would have protection.

For instance, the USB port could be on a daughter board, and requires you to enter a password on the plugged in keyboard before the daughter board would complete the connection to the main motherboard.

The really simple method would be to at least have a USB Lock that plugs into the USB port, and once locked it hooks into a USB port and if physically ripped out without unlocking, it would rip out the USB port with it. This is something they can retrofit quickly while figuring out other problems with their software problems.

In this case there's little lock-in, since it maintains InnoDB interface compatibility - you could drop-in replace it with, say, a DigitalOcean-hosted MySQL instance, if you wanted. (Of course you'd be missing out on other perks, but your core MySQL integration wouldn't suffer lock-in.)
We have no idea how far we are from simulating a brain. Because we have no idea how exactly computation is performed in a brain. Neither in a locust's brain, nor in a human brain.

On the other hand, we have already built systems (ANN based) which can do non-trivial things: play Atari games, tell a cat from a dog, convert speech to text, translate from one language to another, etc.

This points to the strong possibility that all that biological complexity in neurons is completely irrelevant to the principles of intelligence, just like the fact that a modern transistor needs 500 parameters and a ton of complicated equations to describe its physical operation is irrelevant to its main function - a simple ON/OFF switch.
If we want to simulate a computer, using more complicated transistor models gains us nothing.

> What valuable service is Visa providing? They're not.

They're providing value to consumers. Here are some of the features I love about my credit card:

- Purchase protection; I feel totally confident in buying anything, even from sketchy sites and strange stalls, because if there's a problem Visa immediately reverses it

- Rewards: I have hundreds of thousands of miles from credit card rewards. This represents literally thousands of dollars in value the cards have provided me.

- Concierge: I sometimes have my concierge serve as a VA.
Is this the most popular rule? I'd think that it's "eat below your TDEE".

This interests me quite a bit because I've been - forever - busy migrating a huge svn repo to git and the one thing that I keep running into is that 'subrepositories' doesn't quite cut it. Historically my svn is my datastore and I never bothered to set up multiple repositories.

Github might very well be financially impacted if repositories that are now separate for technical reasons will be merged to become subtrees of one larger repository.

I once worked at a water park, for an entire month, as a teen. They would send weighted 'bodies' down the river to see if we rescued them. One time, they said they sent one and I missed it (and, boy, I must have really missed it cause I saw no such thing). At the time, I thought they were being a-holes testing me when there's no real danger. Looking back, I'm glad they tested us and I'm equally glad I stopped working there. You don't want that type of thing on your conscience.

I actually like sub-genres, especially metal sub-genres.

Death metal, melodic death metal, math metal, black metal, doom metal, death suicidal black metal, funeral metal, funeral doom, drone, heavy metal, power metal, viking metal, pagan metal, folk metal, vampire metal, gothic metal, catholic metal, brutal death metal, technical death metal, trash metal, sludge metal, all of them have more than 10 bands, can you imagine? :)
I spent three summers life guarding at a US state park and would like to give my personal experiences, even if it doesn't give a definitive answer to your question.

Always trust yourself. Any suspicion on your part is more than enough reason to go help. These guards have excellent reactions and don't try to make a judgement call between distress and drowning. While new to the job, I hesitated trying to verify patrons needed a rescue instead of going in immediately.

While this is anecdotal, I also found that poor treaders often made attempts to move to more secure depths. Struggling is no fun, and most people swim to have fun. The dangerous cases were people who did not know their swimming ability chasing family into the deep end.

Lastly we didn't allow floaties in the water, and I think everyone who sees this video should notice the trend and think twice about them.
> Due to Amazon Aurora’s unique storage architecture, replication lag is extremely low, typically between 10 ms and 20 ms.

I think in the original announcement, this number was lower, but this is still great.

In this range of latency, the most compelling thing relevant to my needs is the possibility of using read replicas for serving read-only API calls, with minimal risk of having a write API call immediately followed by a read API call serving stale data. It's possible to orchestrate a prevention for that with regular latency-prone MySQL replication, but it carries tremendous complexity depending on the application.

Would be very interested if anyone else has explored this idea further with Aurora.

> Why would anyone ever want debt? We have money to pay for stuff, why not use your money instead?

I don't carry a balance on my credit card, but I still absolutely love it.

Three main reasons:

1. I don't have to "balance" my checkbook and constantly keep track of how much money is liquid. Instead of tracking my checking account's value before making any purchase, I just do a single monthly payment.

2. Security/protection: A merchant screws with me? I'm covered. Something breaks? I'm covered. I don't like something? I'm covered. Credit cards make purchasing totally risk-free.

3. Rewards. Credit cards have provided me with thousands of dollars worth of free rewards.

The rhetoric around debt is a total red herring and totally orthogonal to the use of credit cards. Many premium credit cards are actually charge cards and don't allow carrying a balance at all.
No one talks about patents on programming-language features. So, there is an example for you. In the 1990s or early 2000s, the designers of a programming language named Curl out of MIT tried to protect their design with patents, but they were a very small minority among PL designers (at least at that time and since that time), and I don't think their PL has any remaining users.

Because of the nature of the patent system, it is impossible to state definitively that none of the currently-popular PLs currently have any patent encumberances, but we can say that none of the project leaders or main contributors to the design of any of the popular PLs have been accused of pursuing patents on their creations. Nor does anyone AFAIK complain or warn about any popular PL's being patent-encumbered.

Although most designers of instruction-set architectures that have seen significant economic use have pursued patents on this or that feature or technique, Itanium is AFAIK the only one where the patent lawyers were involved in the early stages of the design of the architecture.

I agree with many of the points expressed, and as someone who has used docker in production I have run into many of these issues myself. At the same time, I value composability and I don't want docker to have a single monolithic approach to everything. Garbage collecting old images, fine, even though its not that hard to deal with the issue. Logging and distribution of secrets don't feel like docker-level concerns to me. There are good solutions for both.

>there's almost no native-feeling cross-platform UI library for native apps at the moment

wxWidgets is native and it has been working for decades now. May be some people disagree with its use of macros, but it certainly works, runs fast and it's native in Windows, OSX and Linux.

I repeat it again. It's not only native-feeling. It uses the native controls in each platform it supports. It is fully native.

I think you could only depict Mickey Mouse as drawn in 'Steamboat Willy' as later depictions would still be under copyright.

The web is an anomaly yes, but it has broader reach than any other platform in the history of mankind. Thinking that native apps will kill the web is to miss the forest for the trees. None of these proprietary platforms have the reach of the web. No computing device maker can release a credible device without web support. It doesn't matter how much money you have, you can't make your proprietary platform cross the chasm the web has crossed. Apple can't do it, even open-source Android can't do it, because Android is runtime, not a standard.

The common narrative of PC app -> Web app -> Mobile app is only superficially accurate in terms of where the tech hype was at different points. But in terms of long-term life cycles, mobile apps are much more like PC apps, and the web is something else completely different, which we've never seen before, and mark my words, it will not disappear or be superseded anytime soon.

Yeah I'll definitely work through the "Who is hiring" posts. I haven't had a lot of time recently to work on my Github, but I will focus all my time on that soon. The most mature OSS (+ hardware) project I have is Nebula Bio[1], which is what I usually share, but I think I'll put together a Rails or Django app or something like that for fun next week. Or maybe actually finish creating a library (I've started a few, never finished).

It's not taught at colleges.

It's popular for a few reasons

- insanely easy to set up with hosted providers, many of which market at hackathons

- mongodb markets at a lot of hackathons

- many hackathon projects prefer fast-to-write above all else

- schemaless is perfect for an environment where iterating quickly is a must and you don't really care about migrating data

- works well with node through mongoose, and node is also popular on the hackathon circuit
I always want convenient, easy-to-read data representations. That's true when I put information into or program or service, and it's even more true when I read information out of a program (especially if it's an extra-long data dump for debugging purposes). Intspan takes what would be low level lists or sets and makes tidy, compact, easy-to-read equivalents.
That's true, but isn't the company making these devices? If they are making them, they must have someone capable of operating an x-acto knife. Also, if you are concern about an attack that requires someone to load code very slowly from floppy, wouldn't you also be concerned about someone using a battery operated rotary tool to cut the epoxy around the pins, and then connecting probes to those pins which would allow to than connect the floppy drive.

I would like to point out that any flotation device in a pool besides a life jacket is just asking for problems.

I life-guarded for almost 10 years, the only way I would ever let anything that supported a human floating __besides__ an approved life jacket was if the pool was almost empty (such that the one person got my undivided attention) and if I knew the child to already be a strong swimmer.

I highly encourage everyone reading this to not swim at pools that allow floats of any kind besides a life jacket, even something as simple as water wings. [0] It encourages kids to go deeper than they should, and if they fall off they're in big trouble. It creates the possibility for a child to get trapped under someone else, and a life guard has almost no chance in that scenario.

95% of guarding is preventive.

Neat site though.

[0] Water wings can create the situation where a child has their head underwater and their arms up above water, but they can't pull themselves up.

At $100/TB/mo? I don't think so. S3 is $30/TB/mo. Unless you have some compelling reason to have the blobs in the database, like indexing them, you'd be better off keeping them somewhere else.

I guess if you won't have many blobs, it may be worthwhile to save yourself engineering time of supporting both S3 and Aurora. In an ideal world, there'd just be one permanent data store with a built-in caching layer, for databases, blobs, and log files.
> A culture that rewards facetime and encourages people to regularly stay late or eat dinner at the office puts employees with families at a disadvantage (particularly mothers), and research shows that working excess hours does not actually improve productivity in the long-term since workers begin to experience burn out after just a few weeks

I suspect excessive hours also contributes to unintentional harassment [1], mostly against single women.

Most people are heterosexual. Most of them want to find partners to have relationships with ranging from casual flings to long term romantic relationships.

If people are expected to work long and hard hours they will be left without the time and/or energy for activities outside of work where they can seek out sexual and romantic partners. Since people are not going to give up on seeking out sexual and romantic partners inevitably some of that activity will shift to the office. If that office has significantly more single men than single women it is going to get particularly annoying for the women.

[1] By "unintentional harassment" I mean actions that are takes as harassment by the person they are directed to, but are not intended as harassment by the person taking the action.
> I actually find this to be a huge moral gray area; the reason that Visa, Discover, and MasterCard can afford to pay out handsome rewards is partly because of the financially illiterate charging more to their credit cards than they can afford to pay off

That's entirely false. The credit card business model (including rewards) does not depend on debt. Rewards are a fee passed from the merchant to the consumer via the credit card.

As you pointed out, American Express doesn't depend on this at all. Most of their best cards aren't even credit cards.

Also, if credit companies love debtors so much that their business depends on it, why do they court people with good credit so aggressively?
One supposes what they'd really like is to be able to enjoy both flexible hours and typical benefits and worker protections. Unfortunately, we've set up our stupid system so that these are somehow exclusive.
