The cool thing about many of these features is that I can push out some code that I can share with a hyperlink and other people can run it without installing anything other than a browser.

What you describe is a hack for lacking isolation/security/permissions/package management in the operating system. Seriously, if there was a sensible way of isolating apps and handling dependencies, it would be perfectly sensible to implement a lot of the current web "apps" as real applications.
Is this actually made by Brinks?. Loomis offers a similar product named "SafePoint".

From the pictures, it looks like the same hardware.

I wonder if the vulnerability is specific to the customer or the hardware?
That's because possibly there wasn't a difference.

See my sister post. My apologize if you honestly thought that was a useful post. I would certainly not characterize my position as not being in favor of fair trials. But phrasing it terms of rights I do find unhelpful. Doesn't an innocent person have a right not to be jailed? But what's the point of even phrasing it that way?
In my case, EDA and FPGA stuff. Tools like Mentor Graphic Modelsim and Xilinx Vivado (this one is quite recent by EDA standards) use TCL as both a console interface and scripting language, to the point that configuration files are also written in TCL.

Knowing TCL enables me not only tool automation, but a huge deal of personalization and setup, by allowing me to access data and internal functions of the systems. Modelsim, for example, has its whole GUI made in TCL/TK and I can easily create new GUI elements in TCL to help me debugging.

Also, TCL is a very interesting language by itself. Ok, not modern or cool, but much more interesting than most people think of it. This blog post [1] tries to make this point, and was already discussed in HN [2].

How to Build a Command Line App in PHP
I'm familiar with parts of TCL, but I still can't arrive at a good answer for those questions.

It has a unique (wild and strange) feature called upvar that I haven't seen in python or lua. You "use" it to reference a previous frame in your call stack.
Ansible, systemd and go is stealing my heart at the moment. Basically pick the tech that doesn't cause the problems to start with.

I still reckon that the main reason VMware ESX is as successful as it is comes down to the lack of isolation and sheer deployment hell that windows has been for years. The same can be said for python or ruby on a Linux machine for example. Docker removes some of that pain like ESX does.
her overview of SGX is worth the read (at least for me)

I actually spotted that kid as the first possible point of trouble... but you have to wait until the "moments later" card to see him start doing something risky, and then like you said, even when he's tangled in the rope it won't let you click him.
Yeah, I hear you.

I guess one other way these things are exclusive is that they drive up costs for sharing economy companies. Some of these companies are pricing so low that they are barely making a profit as it is. If their costs are even higher, they will have to drive up prices, and at least part of their appeal immediately vanishes. At least a few of the companies will die if that happens.
TCL is still a mainstay of IC (Integrated Circuit) development design and test. It was originally developed for that purpose, and it's deeply entrenched.

I personally think it should die a very quick (honorable) death.
Was a waterpark lifeguard during highschool. We went through training every Tuesday night and were all CPR certified. It's a far cry from the lifeguards you see sitting around at neighborhood pools. If I was at the wave pool, I could easily be responsible for watching hundreds of people at any given time both in the water and in my immediate vicinity of the deck (choking? heat stroke?)

The job was sometimes so intense I'd wake up in the middle of the night in a panic because I thought I had forgotten my whistle or someone was having an emergency. Props to anyone who does it. When executed well and carefully, it's not exceptionally hard work but any lapse of judgement for even a moment can lead to disaster.
Cool app.

It might just be me but I found the landing page a little aggravating in that the bottom of the phone was cut off and I couldn't scroll down to put it entirely in view. I'm probably just a weird edge case though. The color scheme looks great.
If the Golden Goose is indeed slain, it will also be due to the sharing companies willfully ignoring legal issues to keep pushing growth, Uber being the prime example.

Asking for forgiveness, not permission works sometimes but eventually you do have to deal with the legalities.
I'm glad. The "Sharing Economy" does one thing and does it well:

It privatizes wealth while socializes risk.

And the risk to the employee is always covered up or misdirected. With Uber, the big cost is insurance. However they count on people not to know. There's also the issue that Uber sets your price for you, and none that you can negotiate. Better yet, with less than 5 approval means you are "given" even a lower rate.

With Fiverr eLance and oDesk, at least I can set my prices and negotiate with potential clients. Yes, I pay the host company a cut, but that's well stated and fair.
So, like Salut except less anonymous because it sends your physical location to a central server?

As a Windows admin, this sounds like a recipe for disaster. My networks are already getting crowded with Appliances and Appliance VMs that are provided to us as black boxes, and we have to depend on a 3rd party for security patches and a durable security implementation.

Having containers able to package weird obsolete (unpatched) applications, specific (out-of-date) versions of libraries, and poorly-written homespun code is a recipe for exploits. The out-of-date version of the library (e.g. Java 7) likely has exploits out in the wild that have been patched in more recent versions. The weird obsolete application (e.g. DTS) likely not only has exploits patched in the active codepath, but has multiple bugs and integration issues. The homespun code likely reimplements something done better in another application or library, and introduces more bugs and vulnerabilities to the network.

Sorry for going off on this, but being able to repackage unsupportable applications would be a nightmare in places I've worked before.
Let's all use it, very interesting idea!
What are the benefits of containerised apps in your case?
C/C++ (or possibly C# if you count Unity) is still the only choice for "real" game dev.

But Haxe (http://haxe.org/) has some great momentum these days, and with a bit of cleverness can target native and web at the same time. Checkout out http://snowkit.org/ and http://haxor.xyz/ for some examples.

It might also line up nicely with your javascript background.

Dart + StageXL (http://www.stagexl.org/) also looks like an appealing choice, especially if you're coming from the JS world. It lacks an easy way to build a native target, though.

But pretty much any language out there has bindings for input, graphics and sound, so if you're more interested in just learning a new language, use whatever you want.
Companies that use primarily contractors make regulators uncomfortable, and their general antipathy to such ad hoc arrangements is pretty well known. It's much easier to regulate and collect taxes from, and admittedly to protect, people who work for large companies the government can exert control over. So these challenges will keep coming as long as complainants can be found.

The fact that they can be found easily enough is also interesting, and I suspect that what is going on here, at least to some extent, is that the "early adopter" contractors who are more independent and seek fewer controls are soon augmented as the business grows by people who are attracted to the good things they hear about, but at the same time really aren't lone-wolf risk takers, and really don't want to provide for themselves.
None that crossed the chasm. That's what makes the web special and unique, not the functionality.
What I was attempting to describe was a document format the freely mixes code, documentation, and interactive media. The present set of features in the browser allows for a very fluid mixing of these elements but the authoring tools and user experience are lacking in most browsers.

I can share similar documents via org-babel, iPython notebooks, or Matlab notebooks, etc... but each requires the user to be accustomed with those applications to install them, fetch my code from a URL, load it into their environment, etc. With the present browser ecosystem they can fetch everything as a single document and run the interactive examples and modify code on the fly... if they're willing to hop over the developer-tools wall.
I have mixed feelings about Docker. I've found three major use cases so far:

(1) Testing.

(2) Build environments -- it's helpful to build distribution Linux binaries in older Linux versions like CentOS 6 so that they'll work on a wider range of production systems.

(3) Installing and running "big ball of mud" applications that want to drag in forty libraries, three different databases, memcached, and require a custom Apache configuration (and only Apache, thank you very much).

#3 is really the killer app.

This has led me to conclude that Docker is a stopgap anesthetic solution to a deeper source of pain: the Rube Goldberg Machine development anti-pattern.

More specifically, Docker is a far better solution than the abomination known as the "omnibus package," namely the gigantic RPM or DEB file that barfs thousands of libraries and other crap all over your system (that may conflict with what you have).

Well written software that minimizes dependencies and sprawl and abides by good development and deployment practices doesn't need Docker the way big lumps of finely woven angel hair spaghetti do.

Docker might still be nice for perfect reproducibility, ability to manage deployments like git repos, and other neat features, but it's less of a requirement. It becomes maybe a nice-to-have, not a must-have.

But... if my software is not a sprawling mess that demands that I mangle and pollute the entire system to install it, why not just coordinate development and deployment with 'git'? Release: git tag. Deploy: git pull X, git checkout tag, restart.

Finally, Docker has a bit of systemd disease. It tries to do too much in one package/binary. This made the rounds around HN a while back:

https://github.com/p8952/bocker

It demonstrates that at least some of Docker's core functionality does not require a monster application but can be achieved by using modern filesystems and Linux features more directly.

So honestly I am a bit "meh" about Docker right now. But hey it's the hype. Reading devops stuff these days makes me wonder if "Docker docker docker docker docker docker docker" is a grammatically correct sentence like "Buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo."
WebView with React-Native
That's the approach that I imagine a tech company with a closed philosophy will take (e.g. Apple). I strongly suspect Tesla hasn't taken this approach, making me worried that a widespread brand-damaging hack is inevitable.
That is exciting to me -- I was doing it the KISS way which was clone two copies of the repo when I wanted two working directories. That gets real old after a while -- I didn't need it often though so optimizing it didn't make much sense. But now git is going to make it easier for me.
We'd be fools to not use these productivity gains afforded by modern information technology. The technology and creativity behind it have outpaced our classifications of what a job is.

Uber and the like seem to be in a grey area - a middle ground. We'd be foolish to throw away the gains and opportunities that have been created but we also need to have a debate about what the "employees" role is in these types of positions, what is owed to them from the company and how society most benefits from these arrangements. We need to define a lot of things and determine how they should work in a civilized society.

I don't have the answers but I believe it is clear something fair on all sides needs to be considered.

I was actually spending quite some thought about this. At least for water parks, I think this should be doable. My idea was to have a wide angled camera above the pool (distortion is not a problem here), with an algorithm that would recognize any structure that is not moving for a given time (lets say 30 seconds). This would create many false positives, probably, but the system could just activate a buzzer and zoom to the spot on a display that would be permanently monitored by some lifeguard. The number of false positives could probably be dramatically reduced, if there was some way to only react to non-moving-structures underneath the surface, maybe by some cameras from the side?
You assume the bombers were definitely carrying nuclear weapons. They needn't if your goal is to have the enemy wipe itself out by this method, they only need to think you are carrying them.

Also, I argue that your line-of-sight is increased by "low-altitude" EMP blasts (30 000 ft for a localized EMP on a bomber vs >100 000 ft for high-altitude EMP) whereas a nuclear detonation probably occurs at much lower altitude (~2 000 ft), so the higher altitude could in theory attack a much larger area as far as power is concerned. So in terms of electrical infrastructure, a larger area of damage could occur by Nike attacks on bombers higher up. But who knows.

So you're saying I should embrace C/C++/a scripting language and not try to chase something new? I think my main reason for both requirements was so that I could learn something that'd help me in my current position, and also get started on the path I'd like to be on: toward game development.
When I was about 7 years old, I went to a birthday pool party at a friend's house. I did not know how to swim, and was just standing near the pool, when some other kids pushed me in. I fell in the deep end of the pool, and I had the exact experience described in terms of the drowning response on that site. The other kids didn't know I couldn't swim and assumed I was fine.

I nearly died that day - I tried as hard as I could to put my arms above the water and wave and yell, but I couldn't do much, and I don't really know what happened much after that. Everything went black. For a moment I felt a person touch me underwater, and then it was all black.

I woke up on the concrete next to the pool. I found out later that one of my other classmates had tried to rescue me by pulling me from the pool, but wasn't strong enough to pull me out. His sister, who was older and stronger, had been a lifeguard, dove in and pulled me out. My friend's father was a doctor, and had resuscitated me. They literally saved my life.

To this day, I'm 33, I can swim fine, but I still remember that experience like it was yesterday. I guess those things tend to stick. Whenever I am around a pool, I can't help but try to keep an eye out for people & children, just in case. I saw this one in 0.78s.

This site/video is a really good public safety announcement, especially since the weather just keeps getting hotter and more and more are bound for the pool. Thank goodness for the lifeguard in the video, and all our protectors out there.
I don't think the sharing economy as a whole will go away.

Homejoy is a bit special in that they sell something that you really only need once, and that's if you know nobody who will recommend you a cleaner. (Why don't they pivot, for instance into a moving company? Pays good money for college kids if they happen to be free, cheap for people who need to move. Location services lets you identify people who are near the opportunity.)

But the idea of a service where both buyers and sellers can find each other on a casual basis is sound. It's just that we need to sort out what the terms are. Should full-time Uber drivers get different protections from part-timers? Needs a trip through the social/political grinder for an answer.
Never heard of Python Call Graph, will check it out.

Having some background knowledge of how Python implements some of its types can also be useful when debugging performance issues. For instance, knowing that the Python list type is implemented using a variable-length array of object references (rather than a linked-list) will help one figure out why inserting in the front or middle of a Python list is slow.

""we'll just neuter the little bastard and try and recoup some development dollars by using it as an embedded processor"."

Lmao well-put. Maybe if they saw it worded that way on the drawing board they might have seen the folly. I keep thinking of checking on the Alpha ISA licensing situation to get PALcode, etc back. Last I checked Intel and Samsung had control of licensing but it kinda disappeared.

Might just stick with SPARC or RISC-V with modifications to use clever modifications from the past. Might even try to design a knock-off of i960's better features updates based on lessons learned over time.
This article is heavily biased. Consider that the case of the other 59%(!) is not explored in the article even a little bit... You'd think a position paper that is proposing solutions would at least cover potentially existing solutions before concluding that the system needs an overhaul.
This is why it is not yet adopted by DevOps and IT 'in the wild'.

In summary from a person in that scenario:

1. Not known of and too short of time horizon - People still run Windows XP in the real world. Changes where the rubber meets the road (IT and DevOps) take years of hard evidence, infrastructure cost, justifications, etc. to catch on. It does not behove these groups to be an early adopter.

2. Not flexible enough yet - I have a ton of use for this if I could run it more like a VM but faster and easier to deploy. I devop with a product that uses its own kernel... I tried to talk Dev in to compiling a kernel with Docker for a use case I have - you can guess where that went.

Docker is great, but I can only use it with my devs in its current state and for myself in specific cases.
That's certainly what it sounds like, at least in terms of functionality. Slightly slower, non-volatile RAM.
What do you think of this style of lifejacket/water wings? http://www.amazon.com/Stearns-Puddle-Jumper-Deluxe-Jacket/dp...

That's what we use with our two year old son, though he's also only in pools with one-on-one attention. I'd prefer to just take him to shallower pools, but his feet just don't touch in any of our local pools, and puddle jumper seemed like a good option for him to have a little independent exploration in the water.
The memristor patents might be an issue as well.

A few things: keystrokes is only part of the data collection. I wouldn't be surprised if they're also looking at mouse movement, or the actual keystroke pattern (backspaces and such).

But it does raise an interesting idea: build a fuzzer that you can use to change "profiles". Rather than making yourself mechanical, put on a different face.

Also, I'd like to see a concept website that used keystroke data to authenticate a user instead of a password. Basically, give them a "passphrase" or somesuch that is presented in cleartext with the instructions: "type this phrase".

There were a lot of great talks at this conference, including one on the new concurrent garbage collector (which is already in beta and hits stable sometime in the next few weeks).

My personal favorite, though, was Katherine Cox-Buday's talk titled "Simplicity in Go"[0]. It's really hard to write a talk that has value for people of all levels of experience (beginner to expert), and this one really stood out to me as an excellent example of one that does.

(Anecdotally, I've been writing Go full-time for 3 years now, and I found the talk valuable, as did a couple of my friends who have been writing Go for only a few months and also attended the conference.)
