This is the problem with what PPK is suggesting.

The Firefox and Chrome developers are mostly certainly professional developers who are well qualified to create a standardized cross browser feature set that will obviate the need for the cruft.

Only recently have we started to emerge from the Silverlight-Flash-JavaApplet-ActiveX-webish ghetto that we were mired in for years as Microsoft refused to add new standard features to IE. His suggestion is essentially to return to that paradigm. He should know better... he built a site called 'quirksmode' after all...
Good idea. Looking at it first though i was a little confused. The video plays immediately, so i didn't realize it was interactive because i had no time to read the text and no introductory explanation.

It would also help if the video automatically scaled to fill as much of the window as possible. On my screen it was a quarter of the entire screen and everything was really tiny.

"In a statement, Pipistrel said Siemens prohibited the use of its motor for a flight over water."

I am not sure how that could happen? Surely if they bought the engines they could have done whatever they wanted with them? Unless they were leased from Siemens or something.
Or, more likely, publishers would allow print-on-demand ordering of any book in their collection.

Either way, it's win-win.
Brilliantly done.
I'll usually buy CDs at shows (since I assume more money goes to the artist), or when an artist just doesn't sell digital copies (e.g., Ladybaby).

But okay, I look at the pretty artwork once, I wonder at what exactly a producer does, and then I never, ever look at that stuff again. I buy the CD for mostly the music, which I consume via my ears.

I've literally got a stack of CDs that I purchased to get artists' music, and only keep them around for sentimental purposes. If the cats eat them all tomorrow, I'd be vaguely bummed out, but I honestly don't think they've even seen a CD laser since I ripped them the first time.

I still love Docker and do think it solves a genuine problem. But yes, where to put your logs, how to manage state, how to schedule containers on machines, how to coordinate processes, how to inspect an app when something goes wrong, how to measure performance, how to manage security, how to keep consistency across your docker containers... are all problems you need to solve from the get go with Docker and they are all non-trivial!

I have seen similar issues with a other packages, where their popularity has outstripped the core teams ability to incorporate feedback. Basically the core team can't scale the feature set fast enough to meet demand. On the plus side over time they get to things, on the minus side if someone executes better they sometimes can take away the momentum/lead from the original package.
I would have thought that the difference between Haiku and Senryū would maybe be something to learn after writing so many.
Indeed. Back when I was hiring for jobs requiring e.g. C++, that would have caught my eye and been a big positive, but going into any length about it will not help you with most people, and at best be a negative for typical HR units.

Mention it once in addition to or with the mention of Clojure so someone like me will notice, and only send the full exposition to companies and positions that are "actually solving problems" with FP; I seem to remember Wal-Mart (and you might like Bentonville, Arkansas after the cold of Rochester :-) and Amazon are using Clojure in production....
From my experience it is still buggy. For example, this bug:

https://forums.docker.com/t/docker-export-intermediate-size-...

No one seems to know anything about it.

Also, when we upgraded from 1.6.3 to 1.7, devicemapper started having issues.

On top of the bugs, the limited networking support is very, well, limiting.

I would be very hesitant about using it in production at the moment. That said, I can also see the potentials and it seems to be heading in the right direction. It's just not ready at this moment.

Do your own calculation and see what you find, instead of think. This is HN after all. :)

You have all the relevant numbers in my post after all: maybe I made a mistake? That certainly possible :P, since you seem to be right about the rewards paid per day.

Or maybe people willingly factor in power costs as a price of speculating on a volatile, trending currency? Or maybe most power costs are actually carried in low-cost areas rather than North America and Europe, so my $0.05/kWh is an overestimate?

I'm imagining that in the case of AI general enough to be trained for any arbitrary task, but not general or physically able enough to choose its own tasks, you still need technologists to teach the warfarers how to install and train the AI. So in that case, build the AI; don't turn it into a killer robot.

If it doesn't take expertise to train the AI though, the goose was cooked a long time ago.
Same here. AMI with direct from git updates when they start. Docker as part of the build and deploy process of upgrades is gonna be too costly anyway, because setting up the first configuration takes time, moving the containers take time etc.
I'd consider myself a lurker most of the time and I tend to express myself more through actions than posting on the web. In this case, I already do pay - I have a subscription to DI.fm, and was actively looking for something similar on Soundcloud when they rolled out the ads. Unfortunately, as there isn't anything, I've simply started using Soundcloud less in favor of DI.

This isn't the first time I've been frustrated with Soundcloud either. I listen to a variety of electronica that's often hard enough to buy that I was searching for stuff on youtube and bookmarking before I started using Soundcloud. It was only after some months of use and I sizable list of favorites that I found songs on Soundcloud could just disappear from my list with no warning and nothing left behind - which means if I can't remember the name of the song of spend an hour searching, I'm unlikely to find it again. At least with my youtube bookmarks the title and artist are never lost, even if the video is taken down. (I contacted their support about this and got a positive response, but its been a couple months this has happened at least twice since then.)

So for me, at least, Soundcloud is on its way out. And that's really disappointing, because I think on the whole they have a great platform.
The article makes a lot of good points, but the stack you're speaking of would be pretty trivial to get going...particular if you did it on a single host setup. You could probably have it spun up in an afternoon with Ansible or some such.

Multi-Host is moderately more difficult. A full orchestration and resource scheduling stack that scales with load even more so.

But you have to ask what your needs are if you're being realistic.

> That's exactly what brings costs down

The problem of batteries on airliners is not cost, it's that they don't store enough energy per mass. Even if your batteries are free, when your plane can't take off because its mass has increased >10 fold there's very little point, you're left with an expensive bus too wide to take roads.

> Dyson spheres? Now who's exaggerating.

Same as before.

> Electric airplanes already exist, and will continue to improve for decades to come.

The original assertion is that they're the future of air travel, not the future of small-scale hobbyists.

> Dyson spheres do not exist, and are not on the horizon.

Both of which apply equally to electric airliners. Electric airliners require a literal technological revolution, so do dyson spheres.
We live in a dangerous world.

Connecting Linux to WatchGuard Firebox SSL
Chrome's based on the OP browser, SFI/CFI, and segments for POLA that came out of my side of the field. They weakened those security models to get extra performance because the good stuff had up to 50% hit on your favorite architectures. The result was plenty of breaks in their model despite its clever design. I did cite them as an example of mainstream trying to leverage proven techniques and they did get best paper in 2009 for the attempt. Just got unacceptably weakened.

Meanwhile, there's DARPAbrowser, OP2, Gazelle, Tahoma, Illinois Browser OS, my scheme of running it in a microkernel partition behind guard functions, old scheme of dedicated box with KVM for switching, compiler transformations, diversification, and so on. These are all either browsing schemes more secure than Chrome or ways to better prevent/contain damage of arbitrary apps than popular methods. I've been posting these on forums for some time now. Strong, INFOSEC research certainly builds & evaluates browser architectures. Only around 6 groups making attempts & no help from the mainstream, as usual. They will do occasional knockoffs with less security (i.e. Chrome). IBOS has a nice table [1] showing what containment Chrome achieved vs their which leveraged Orange Book B3 methods. You'd have lost the bet.

Sorry I was wrong. I assumed based on Kubernetes' use of etcd it would be 3+ nodes. It turns out Kubernetes master is a single node currently which means they haven't built high availability into the master at all... which is a pretty scary way to run a thing that manages your entire infrastructure. There's already a few topics on the mailing list about etcd losing its data and Kubernetes doesn't know how to recover. Yuck.

> A web app experience is at the mercy of the network I happen to be connected to.

That's one of many things that web apps have been fixing. It's entirely possible to write an offline-capable web app.

> In addition, as a user, the "build once, run anywhere" feature of web apps is a disadvantage since it often means that apps are written with the lowest common denominator in mind and don't quite blend in with the look and feel of either major mobile OS.

They do, however, look like web apps everywhere, and if you primarily use web apps, you'll feel right at home.
I was going to mention Triton/SDC. It does solve the security issues though it does it by running SmartOS. SDC is pretty cool but docker really needs to be secure in its own right.

It is also worth mentioning that since Joyent has implemented their own docker client, not all features are there yet. Last time I tried docker-compose didn't really work right yet. There is a full list of divergences on their github page. It has a lot of potential though.
We can all handle 3 or 4 subscriptions. The dollar amount I came up with was an example. A small federation might charge $1. The invisible hand of the free market decides. The federation would fail if it charged more than the amount of good content it produced. An author could also syndicate her/his content to more than one federation.

If we're not willing to pay for good content, i.e. the writer's livelihood, then we're all fucked. If you read my other comment herein[1], you'd know we're all paying anyway, even though we are fooled into thinking it is free.

If I remember right you can't buy a Raspberry Pi from the traditional online stores that sell them (they don't send to Brazil), so you need to buy from a reseller. I ordered a Raspberry Pi online from eBay, had to pay US$50,00 that wasn't exactly so bad (and it was a kit instead of only the RPi, including memory heatsinks, USB charger and a case). So yeah, it is possible to save a bit of money, yeah.

However, this is counting that you don't pay the abusive taxes that the brazillian government asks for imported goods. If I had to pay those taxes for my RPi I would pay 60% of the price of the product in taxes, more 12% for IOF.

I didn't buy CHIP because I would need to pay US$15 for the delivery cost.

I have also been doing software for a bit over 2^5 years, and the glass IS half empty. But, it's also half full.

Newer HTML/CSS standards appear to be defined in a somewhat compartmentalized fashion. I'm doing an app rewrite in Angular, and its actually working pretty well so far (1). It's much snappier than java/struts, and we are able to convert the legacy code into REST services for future product integration work.

The author mentioned horrible Chrome documentation. Mozilla / Firefox has EXCELLENT javascript documentation, including listing MS IE compatibility to save you the trip to the MSDN swamp.

Much of this is overkill for "pages", but not for "apps".

(1) "pretty well", with exception of IE, of course -- even 11 won't gzip or cache static files. At least IE 8 dies in Jan 2016, though.
Huh, interesting bit from that site, about purchasing the font:

> It is also available in web font formats for self hosted websites (up to 10K monthly pageviews on average).

Now I can totally understand this feeling. If your art is deployed on a large and popular website with millions of monthly pageviews, you'd like a different (higher) compensation than if it was used on a relatively small time website with less than 10K monthly views.

I'm also aware of the fact that licensing for fonts works rather differently than most other sorts of intellectual property. In IP law, fonts are not copyrighted like graphics/art/design is, but more like a computer program would be[0]. The font file is seen as the computer program (that generates the outlines), rendering text with the font is seen as running the computer program[1], and therefore the creator can request a license for every "user" of their program. Which, in the case of web fonts, are the visitors of the website. This is a legal thing.

A graphics artist cannot license their designs depending on the number of viewers, a least not in the same way. This is because whoever buys the design buys a license to "publish" and "make public" the design (which can of course be negotiated depending on the expected exposure). From there it is (for the most part) out of the hands of the original creator. However the feeling I described in the first paragraph above, is (IMO) just as reasonable for a graphics artist as it would be for a font designer.

Does this make sense? At least for the case of graphic design, the way the law operates (mostly) makes sense in our current digital age.

And websites also contain other code, like Javascript, and they are merely licensed to whoever built the site. Even though the users of the website execute the code in much the same way.

I always find it weird how fonts are such a special case in IP law. I get that creating a font takes a lot of work, but so can large graphics design projects.

[0] Please note that this has nothing to do with the fact that some parts of many font file formats are Turing-complete. It's a purely legal distinction, which does not care about the computer science / theory.

[1] And running a computer program is protected by copyrights because it involves copying the program from storage to working memory and such. At least that's what I learned about Dutch IP law in university. It's a little bit ridiculous, but this is the reason why software licenses can exist.
- We are not responsible for the information you can receive or send via Nod App. Our users are free to share any kind of messages. We ask you to stay polite and don’t be offensive or do harm to anybody.

Really ? Anonymous texting with no limits on message content and you (a) expect people to stay polite, and (b) want to denounce all responsibility ?

Sure (b) is achievable (possibly) legally by having a huge disclaimer on usage of the app, but I think it's being somewhat disingenuous to think this won't be abused.

Edit: Will there at least be the ability for a user to block / report other messages ? I assume as you have the device ID this could be achieved technically.

That's one possibility. Another possibility is they were merely comparing the submitted nonce to the nonce on file. If a nonce had never been generated for a user, the database may have contained an empty string. An empty string in the db would match an empty string submitted by an attacker.
>Apparently the normal 30,000 feet cruising altitude is not higher because the reduced oxygen levels at higher altitudes impact the gasoline combustion too much.

If this is true, wouldn't it make more sense to bring liquid oxygen up with you to burn with the fuel? That would only reduce your fuel energy density by a factor of 2 or 3, instead of the factor of 30-100 being claimed for batteries.

Of course that would not make sense, and rockets don't become the most efficient way to travel until you are a few times higher than 30,000 ft. But it's useful to put the idea of batteries in perspective.

Agree completely, what I'm seeing though is "web" being the new native for a whole lot of apps. It's familiar to users across platforms, it usually looks good, and while it might not integrate with the host environment, it provides many aspects of the native experience.
