The key is to quickly drive attendance by grabbing the transient eye of social media darlings long enough to make a quick buck before they get bored, the mainstream media catches on, and the inevitable backlash begins.

I'm not sure if it's reassuring or utterly disheartening that even somebody as brilliant as Feynman can be laid low with impostor syndrome.

Regulators move at the speed of government, not the speed of technology. However, if you think financial regulators are at all happy with the nature of ICOs you only have to read between the lines of what they have said.

Quite. Typeclasses are Haskell's way of doing ad hoc polymorphism. C++ has ad hoc polymorphism too, but it's via templates not classes.

I don't think having support for multiple orchestrators is valuable except as a transitional thing. In this case, presumably, transitioning from Swarm to K8S. Nobody is gonna want the hassle of supporting both outside a transition.

Why wouldn't you start with the one with the strongest mindshare and reputation? Even a cursory amount of googling shows there's a strong sentiment bias towards K8S over Swarm, it's not surprising that's what most people

K8S is looking for all the world like it's becoming the One True Container Orchestration Platform. Obviously Docker can't admit that because it has investors, and one thing you can't afford to do with investors is be honest.

This seems a lot to me like Docker Inc. caving in to what has been painfully obvious for a while: K8s won and Swarm/Mesos lost the battle for hearts and minds in container orchestration. We can argue about why it happened, but I got th

For a vulnerability of this magnitude, it's not unusual for a responsible disclosure to have a five month review window. e.g. Dan Kaminsky's discovery of DNS cache poisoning had a 5 month responsible disclosure embargo.

This, of course, all came hot on the heels of the Great Plague of 1665. It was not a good year to be a Londoner. Though they couldn't have known it, these two events were major catalysts in London's renaissance and evolution into

That's pretty cool tbh. Finally some geek cred for the ME.

I always enjoy Rich's and Cognitect's increasingly futile attempts to bait and switch the Clojure community into using his expensive proprietary database, Datomic. I love Clojure, it's a beautiful language, but its march has

Well, CBT is about recognising and stopping intrusive thoughts before they become too harmful. Mindfulness extends this idea to using meditation to create an environment in which it's hard for intrusive thoughts to occur. The focus on

As somebody with clinical anxiety, I have been prescribed CBT and Mindfulness on the NHS, I think this piece misses several key points. For one thing, NICE (the UK NGO responsible for analysing evidence and making recommendations on the eff

Social media, especially Facebook, tries very hard to ensure that we never encounter a thought or opinion we consider surprising, or in any way contrary to our biases and prejudices. Essentially we're all locked in ever shrinking echo

You don't have to be loved to be profitable. That said Uber is currently neither, nor is it likely to be any time soon. But my point is that Uber's reputation plumbing the abyssal depths, and to a lesser extent AirBnB's, is d

That's not the real reason public opinion has shifted sharply against denizens of the Valley. That would be Uber. A company so sociopathic, so awful, so entitled, so full of loathsome self-aggrandising bullies they became an unwitting

Cognitect killed Clojure. Cognitect decided to repurpose Clojure as little more than a tool to sell licenses to their proprietary database, Datomic. This, for obvious reasons, pissed off a lot of people who'd previously supported Hicke

Fairly brutal for a Jepsen report. What fascinates me about the now-known-to-be-untrue claims in the Hazelcast documentation is that the claims were made despite the developers having know way of knowing if they were true because they’d not

A thought occurs that by making this backwards compatible with Ansible playbooks, by having an AoT compiler that compiles a playbook down to pure Python and then feeds that into Mitogen, then as a migration path it could look indistinguisha

I doubt it will come as a surprise to anyone that X was fundamentally ill conceived from the very beginning. It’s one of those unfortunate side effects of unintended consequences that Unix history saddled us with it for twenty years longer

I wonder if Google really loves Gerrit, or if it’s just a legacy NIH attachment and some of Google’s graybeards just refuse to let it go. Having worked with Gerrit in the past, I can say without a shadow of a doubt, it’s an abomination and

One thing the article doesn't mention is the use of obscure words in dish descriptions. Am I more or less likely to order something that contains endive, or is a ponzu? I don't know what either or those things are, so I'd hav

The FSF/SFLC who are the authors and therefore guardians of the GPL maintain, publicly, that Canonical is in violation of its license. And yet, no legal action, no cease and desist has been sent. In UK law, failure to enforce a claim o
