On my Mac I run docker under CoreOS VM, the same OS I use on production, and use lsyncd to transparently synchronize all the files that I touch in the editor into the VM. Works like charm.

I second that. Docker makes it very easy to separate the whole application into a bunch of isolated services and then reproduce the whole production environment on a laptop for a very convenient development.

The weak part of Docker is volume/data management and it is interesting that the article almost never mentioned it. There are solutions that attach networking storage to containers, but that just adds a latency to the application. If o

Rust has typesafe arenas, when one allocates small objects from a bigger chunk of memory and typesystem ensures that small objects do not outlive the chunk. I suppose mmap files could be treated similarly when assembling a pointer from an o

There is nothing difficult with that as long as the GC knows everything about strings and their pointers so it can detect that a particular string is reachable only through single another string. At some point this for considered for JS eng

Although Rust does not have GC and requires the programmer to manage the memory when just relining on borrow checker is not enough, the language ensure that this is safe eliminating most of the worries with manual memory management. In this

This is about quality of the GC and string implementation. A good one can detect that only a range of allocation is alive and release unused part of someLargeString. The GC could also flatten a deep nested tree of strings in implementations

I am referring to this fragment: > Thus, for many applications, in order to successfully interact with humans, machines will need to explain their reasoning, including some quantification of confidence, to humans. No doubtful there are c

The article calls for an explanation not why some ML method works, but for an explanation of a particular ML result, like why a car drives this way or why a patient got a cancer. While I hopeful for the former, I just do not see the basis f

I think feasibility to get an explanation for the results of modern machine learning is wishful thinking. I personally cannot explain my gut feelings. So why should we expect an explanation when machine deals with the same class of problems

Are you sure that diet change has anything to do with your improvements? My personal experience is that strength training alone can do wonders. 10 years ago I got rather bad back problems. I tried karate, running, walking in mountains. It d
