Though I wouldn't accept #5 and #6 exactly as phrased, it does seem like positive effects ought to be balanced against the negative, and the uncertainty of future technological developments ought to inform our current decision of how m

'cabal sandbox' came out like, a year ago? That was a huge improvement for my Haskell development experience, allowing local isolated environments like you get from npm or virtualenv.

It's very nice to see hiring advice based on data rather than anecdotes. But I wonder if the process described in the article is pre-selecting for people who are out of work and desperate, rather than currently employed and casually l

The sample manifest at https://github.com/opencontainers/runc makes it look like you just specify a big list of mounts, rather than it supporting the higher level concept of overlayed layers that both Docker and appc s

The article confusingly conflates several very different things: 1. Reverse engineering popular antivirus software so the agencies can see what data it sends home. 2. Monitoring the emails of cybersecurity companies. The first of those is

I think they'll continue to define it that way, but the underlying container spec and runtime will be called something other than "Docker".

I would like to see a Call Me Maybe-style test of the automatic failover from one disruptor to the next. At 6 million TPS I don't see how they could stay exactly in sync. Is the output queue allowed to emit duplicates?

If we were only concerned with making accurate predictions, then all of that would be fine. But the point of the article is less about the accuracy of our predictions, and more about the effects that our priors may have on others. If a fema

Both Chrome and Firefox limit you to 6 simultaneous http connections to the same host. Try opening this app in 7 separate tabs, and you'll see the 7th one just spin and not even load the page's HTML. At least in Firefox, the limi

In antitrust cases, much of the game is in delineating the bounds of the relevant market. Apple would argue for it being really wide, as you have done. One of the other comments here argues for it being "the market for iOS apps",

Server Sent Events sounds like a great idea until someone opens your app in a few separate tabs. Then you quickly hit the limit of 6 simultaneous HTTP connections, and it looks to the user like your application is frozen or crashed. Neithe

There's civil liability in either case. Whether there's criminal liability would be a question of US state law (as opposed to federal), so it could vary depending on the state. As one example, New York law seems to say (based on

The VC has access to a lot more than the "idea" from a pitching company. A lot of time and effort goes into researching a market opportunity and iterating on the idea to refine it. You learn which aspects of the idea, though the
