This is a tragedy of a product being developed for an audience of zero. All of these problems have acceptable, established, and time-tested solutions using Node.js itself, without the crippling caveat of lock-in to a…
> In our case Docker is a battery. Am I correct in assuming this means I can (eventually) use PFS without any dependency on Docker? In particular, I'm interested in knowing whether I can expect to be able to run PFS…
I'm not seeing what this has to do with Docker, other than the planned future ability to run M/R jobs inside Docker containers. That's an interesting idea, but I don't think enforcing Docker has any advantages; if you…
That's not a good analogy. For all I know after a day's training Jordan sat around admiring his build and height. I think reverse Dunning-Kruger is much more likely in Magnus's case.
I'm actually surprised virtualized page-zeroing isn't a memory controller feature at this point. With all of the things modern CPUs do or you, it seems crazy that everyone is running CPU threads that waste time and…
This is actually a great apology. I agree with you that it's troubling that a new model for monetizing free work isn't coalescing -- in art, open source, writing, and more. I've personally felt the sting of all of…
Times change, and technology changes value. Scored music "screwed" street performers, then recordings "screwed" concert performers, then the internet "screwed" recording artists. Plenty of artists have successfully…
In an internet-ubiquitous world, the idea of restricting the flow of data -- any data -- is basically a magical fantasy of those who understand neither the technology nor its sociology. The Pirate Bay will be back in a…
Unless the whole map database is included in the app, then this is still you being tracked.
I suspect you're right. But I'm not going to grumble about it because I don't see this as a startup. In a social kickstartered world this stuff is the new breed of entertainment. And the way you evaluate successful…
Another one he got right was that we wouldn't think more of computers when it happened -- we would simply think less of chess.
His argument, if you read his work, isn't based solely on the increasing speed of computers. His idea is that progress is exponential in all of the requisite areas. That includes algorithms, hardware, biology,…
Unfortunately, while government can mostly wrap its head around science though consultation with academia, the state of the art of software is so ethereal and moves so fast that I imagine seeking funding for software…
Great idea in theory, but as you fear I think this would quickly be bastardized into more private military-industrial complex funding. I would expect a tax-funded OpenSSL to be developed mostly in secret, in cooperation…
