I have used Erlang and containers, but not in combination. I know that Erlang (really, beam) has some ideas about what the network should behave like, and highly virtualized/"software defined " networking may confuse it.

Previous article: "This is nowhere near ready for those who just want to get the job done." This article: "It'll be better in the future, you'll see!" The former is verifiable, the latter is a hypothesis.

Yes, like in most social and behavioural science, unfortunately.

Also, GPL3? Not my favorite license. (MIT/BSD are the best IMO)

I would love to see architecture and comparison to other kernels described! Also, I wonder if this can be made to run on Cortex M4 with "MPU" but not "MMU" hardware? Something to run on the Teensy 3.6 would be interestin

After five years, you get more like a quarter to a third in trade in. For sports cars, you lose half just by driving it off the dealer lot... And that is assuming you aren't leasing, which a lot of people do. No trade in value there.

I remember seeing this at a tradeshow and wanting to buy their $99 developer kit, but they disappeared from the market before I got around to it :-) I asked them about the "hundreds of chemicals" and they claimed 10 or 12 were eno

That's what Sprint did, and why you couldn't use Sprint LTE equipment (that would otherwise be compatible) abroad. They basically hardwired the SIM to an existing design...

Also, while the presentation is funny, the "leanings" are something that anyone in the industry will tell you for free while waiting in the free beer line at GDC. Ideas are worth very little; ability to draw and code and execute i

Perhaps when you have hundreds of developers, but how many on Hacker News have that size? Separately, how do you properly verify some library, tool, or vendor if you can't actually push it during evaluation? How do you mentor more juni

A typical "crappy senior dev": Able to talk for hours about design patterns, but not able to print the sum of four integers when given thirty minutes, an editor, and a compiler for their favorite language. A "senior dev"

Correct. For our coding screen, we use coderpad.io, which lets you chose whatever language you want. Go try it out yourself!

"The thing you describe should lead them to struggle with virtually anything" ... And now you know how Comcast help pages describe settings that do not exist, and why RiteAid calls me "Nancy Brown" when I log in and on a

Just get a Razer Blade. It's the same weight and form factor as a MBP, but black and with a real GPU. Run Windows 10 if you just want to get work done, or Debian or something if you need metal Linux (as opposed to VMs)

I have just one thing to say: Stop with the Python! (Turn times are excruciatingly slow!) Anything else is window dressing.

A strong ability to use force is absolutely needed to protect the civil civilization we enjoy. There are enough psychopathic leaders in the world that any wealth area will be taken by force is it's not defended. This is simply the real

Letting killer robots loose within an area of engagement is not that different from strategic/carpet bombing. Both are bad news for any civilians stuck in the area.

The C syntax is also unambiguous, and if you actually "get" C, it's what you'd naturally expect it to be.

Even random lock/key puzzles become boring quickly. Procedural tools is a great way of amplifying artist creativity, but don't generate fun games on their own. Not until we solve "hard" AI, at least. Once we do, I expect

"chances are they'd turn around and buy a new iphone" Most in that situation would spend the money, but on needs like food or medication. The "blow it on a new iPhone" meme comes from an entitled right wing culture

It's both -- but not because it's "convenient" but because it's the only possible source. The minimum payment will then multiply the cost over many years.

You get at least something from social security, which every worker pays to sustain, and society then promises to keep going. (Worker/retiree ratio changes are going to be a problem.) Thus, retirement savings is not the top problem. Ho

Yes, I can honestly say that the one who lies the most in the current media landscape is Trump himself. If anything, media has gone way too easy on Trump fact checking, perhaps because they make more money if the race is close!

Is there a niche for a closed information system that doesn't allow easy dumps? Like, Lotus Notes, except run through a bitmap video stream to a secure server?
