I find these to be pretty weasel words: Is Triton open source? Yes. Triton Elastic Container Infrastructure is the commercial offering built on the top of the open-source SmartDataCenter cloud infrastructure management platform. In additio

OTOH if the great firewall already blocks this site, wouldn't that mean normal Chinese citizens would access it through a VPN via another country?

It requires energy - plants use photosynthesis to harness sunlight, and then use the carbon to build more of themselves, a great positive feedback loop. We have no current technology that has anywhere near the ability to be as net-carbon ne

Really I would describe these people as bikeshedding. They're pontificating about the only abstractions they understand, some hand-wavey idea of AI and then the sci-fi short stories of the imagined dangers. Because if you can't do

The core dilemma, and I'm paraphrasing I can't remember who, is that for every other problem given to computer scientists to solve, there already exists an understanding of what the problem space is and what a solution is required

I've begun to think about AI more in terms of "artificial will" than "artificial intelligence". Intelligence and will seem mostly orthogonal, in that advanced computational reductionism appears capable of extremely

The basic problem is, there are good ways to run teams and bad ways to run teams, but the good ways in general are organic, contextual, intersubjective. It's hard to distill down to bullet points, much less a damn chart. The most produ

One of the things I didn't realize at first was the degree to which Relay/GraphQL appear to effectively replace a lot of Flux: http://facebook.github.io/react/blog/2015/02/20/introducing-..

The financial implications of these threats are fairly evident. Start with the increased cost of supporting a network capable of managing and integrating distributed generation sources. Next, under most rate structures, add the decline in

If you're not a believer in software patents (and assuming FB won't sue you for any unrelated patent infringement you'd want to retaliate for), attaching doomsday patent clauses to OSS software actually seems like a pretty go

Thanks, I think this basic "you go to code with the developer resources you have, not the developer resources you might want or wish to have at a later time" is desperately under-appreciated in software architecture

Well, my money is on this (concept if not implementation) being the future of client-side development. Absent horrific performance/robustness problems, which seem pretty unlikely from this team, this is sounding like the droids we were

Waking up in the morning, shivering cold, and needing to sit down on a toilet seat that was about 0°C for a very, very necessary bowel movement, was probably one of the least pleasant experiences in my life so far.

Meh. "The real thing is using 3-4 gems. That’s it." - So how did those gems get on the server? How do you know which gem versions the app should use without a Gemfile(.lock), and how do the versions of gems and ruby itself get upd

This is fascinating and makes me wonder if someone will try to build something similar for Ruby.

This is an excellent idea, thanks! We'll be sure to add Pogoapp support (should be nearly identical to Heroku)

I think the community really ought to take a good minute to consider, beyond technical reasons, whether it really makes sense to so tightly tie the future of computing to a single for-profit company's quickly enlarging platform. Someon

This comes off as overly defensive and entitled, like "we brought you containers and you stab us in the back!?" I don't see why they need to view this as an opportunity to fight back and criticize another app container system

Fascinating. This is looking more and more likely. I've wondered for a while if one of the main pieces of resistance to this theory is just the tiny size of the claustrum - no one wants to accept that the seat of their own consciousnes

Yeah definitely, combined with reading/watching the Nvidia info it starts to make sense - the technology is incredible on many levels but the problem is it means you've only got 1/5th -> 1/6th the resolution. if they&

It's pretty important to distinguish between consciousness and a sense of identity or self. Self is pretty clearly is a constructed, somewhat illusory concept. Consciousness is not. You can turn off a light bulb. That doesn't mean
