I think there is good reason to be concerned about moving into a future where the wealthy get to live forever (or at least for a very long time) while the poor live short lives of labor. I don't think the author is saying that what the

It is absolutely way too much free market. Every healthcare system that is better than ours has way less free market and way more government control.

You make a very good point about capitalism vs. free market. I would only amend my comment to say that I think there is evidence that too much of either capitalism or free market can be damaging. For instance (and to use your definitions --

This article does not say that capitalism is a danger to society, it says that Runaway Capitalism is a danger to society. I think there is a lot of evidence out there of the damage that too much free market causes, just as there is a lot of

This isn't exactly true. There is a reason that the FCC must accept submissions from the public before it makes a major decision -- it's part of the FCC charter to consider the input of the public. If a prosecutor can argue that t

I used Fedora for over a year until very recently and loved it for the same reason: rock solid. However, I recently made the move to Manjaro, an Arch variant with stable releases. Manjaro's definition of stable is not as stable as Fedo

Erlang & Elixir have a very interesting approach to typing. The support for pattern matching in function definitions provides a kind of structural typing for functions. And they both embrace typespecs for type analysis through a separat

While Pai and the FCC will do whatever they can to repeal Net Neutrality, the FCC operates with well defined stipulations. Once the FCC repeals Net Neutrality, it will be sued. And when it is sued, the burden will be on the FCC to prove tha

As much as I want Uber to implode for all the negative things it has done, I don't believe that it is, just like I don't believe the big American banks will despite all the negative things they have done. If anything, I see compan

At least in the case of Exxon, the company actively engaged in a misinformation campaign regarding climate change and its link to oil. This is more similar to how the tobacco companies operated in regards to cancer.

Great point! However, I've found that the implementations of user space, preemptive threads (UPT) have friendlier APIs than the implementations of kernel space, preemptive threads (KPT). Also, UPT APIs generally come with really nice s

Many of the actual implementations of these types are not actually monads by the monad laws, but they are monad-like in that they are containers for execution that can be composed with each other.

I completely agree. I used to be a big believer in monad based concurrency using Promise/Future/Async/etc. But the simplicity of using preemptive, user-space scheduling has changed my mind. It makes concurrency, especially IO

Yes, you definitely do. What I meant is if you didn't use Docker and just used BEAM, you would still have access to all those features that are present in Docker + clustering technology.
135.
by dgllghr 9y ago
I think one of the difficulties here is that much of the functionality that comes from, for example, Docker + Kubernetes exists as part of the BEAM VM. A lot of the development being done today in deployment is around Docker and Docker clus

I went through 500 Startups a few years ago. Dave McClure was barely present for the day-to-day, but I now have this feeling that while I was working my ass off, women in my cohort were also working their asses off AND may have been dealing

Not an OS, but Mozilla is rapidly updating pieces of Firefox with Rust (with lots of ideas & code coming from Servo). And while browsers don't necessarily match the complexity of modern operating systems, I think that having Rust b

This argument is disturbing in a number of ways. The first and foremost of which is that it finds acceptable the fact that the middle class may only be better off from the ultra-rich from 100 years ago. In other words, the author thinks it&

Yes, because there are red flags and smoke. Not to mention known economic ties. We aren't driving a narrative, we are concerned for the state of the US.

While in general I'm not opposed to free trade, I think this is the right move because of what I've read about the TPP specifically. But I rarely read anything positive about it. Could someone who knows more about the TPP explain

You know, I have a lot more sympathy for the under-privileged and the under-served who have politics with which I disagree when I see articles categorizing them as losers. Maybe sympathy is a good lesson here.
