The status page currently still shows green, but all requests to the dashboard, the api, the git requests are failing

AFAIK, the relinking requirement only applies if you distribute the software to someone.

If you’re running Sidequest entirely on your own infrastructure to orchestrate jobs across your backend, you’re not distributing the software at all, you’re providing a service. The tight coupling does not itself trigger extra obligations. What matters legally is distribution, not architecture.

Edgecase is if you give your software to a customer to run on their own servers (self‑hosted deployment/docker image shipped to customer). In those cases, you would need to allow them to replace Sidequest.js (ie, not obfuscating it away).

Someone more knowledgeable can correct me, if I'm wrong

It appears from initial reading that it must be possible to support pure NLP tasks with this, but there weren't examples for these in the documentation, so I'm not sure. Does it support NLP models?

Ex: Could I have a store of articles and run NLP tasks against it?

Do you have a pdf-only variant for the 12-pack? I looked around and didn't find it, I might have missed it. Hence asking. I don't really need printed version, so don't really want to waste paper.

I have been following your blogs and zines for years now. Keep up the good work and vibes. Peace.

A channel worth subscribing. Matt (and team?) manages successfully to walk the fine line between managing the complexity of the topics they discuss (which are sometimes extremely dense), making it consumable for the population that's interested in science and physics, but doesn't pursue it on a daily basis. At the same time, they don't fall for the trap of dumbing it down to the point where the audience develops misconceptions and starts believing in pseudo scientific claims.

There are some series they sometimes do, which are entertaining to follow. I also enjoy things like Journal club, where they pick a paper and deep dive into it. The audience also participates, in a way, where they pick the questions/comments from the previous video and answer them.

However, it's not all academic either. There are some running jokes etc, which keep the content entertaining, while being informative, a format that I see common in some of the best Youtube channels.

I've loved Sublime for years, and it's always the first software I install on a new machine. I even voted with my pocket by buying a license.

However, since we started using Yarn workspaces (for JS), I've needed to switch to VSCode because its auto-import is just so much better, and it's one of those things that's hard to go back from, once you're used to it. Sublime text already indexes my code for search, which can probably be used for path suggestions / automatic imports without affecting performance too much maybe? I dunno.

I wouldn't mind it being a plugin either (before Yarn workspaces, I'd use FuzzyFilePath plugin which worked pretty well). But native support would mean the performance would be on par with what I've come to expect from Sublime Text :)

I like wire (https://wire.com/en/) but no one I know uses it :-/

I don't know why you were downvoted. I'm the same; I still wear the clothes I got as swags when I was in college a decade ago. I've maybe bought a pair jeans since then, when my older ones didn't fit anymore.

1 lac = 100,000; 1 crore = 10,000,000

I was able to enjoy TNG from the get go. It's one of the few shows where the stories have any depth. Although I did start watching it when I was in my twenties, so that could have been a factor in being able to pick up on the subtler themes

Maybe, maybe not. We do not yet know that our Universe is a closed system

In picking a language, look for

1. Ecosystem. You _will_ need help

2. Friendly (to you) syntax

3. Target to achieve (in your case, it would mean a language that is frequently used in distributed system/data engineering)

Regarding "I find myself going through the crazy articles comparing languages and lose focus and give up.", I hear you. I've been there. Pick two and run with them. Once you start learning a language, stop reading articles on what other languages you can be learning. There is always something better down the corner. That doesn't mean you lose focus and drop whatever you're doing midway. Persevere, and you will prevail.

Finally, my recommendation, based on your requirements would be

1. Python (for data engineering - numpy, scipy, tensorflow, pandas and whatnot)

2. elixir (for distributed systems)

Hope that helps. Good luck!

They most likely have some ML/AI algos in prototype stage (which is all the rage these days) that is processing all the messages, apart from informing their internal analytics as well as weekly analytics emails they send. They have less to gain from sharing message-data with third parties - this would be giving up control of their most precious component.

Literal translation doesn't work here (also one of the shortcomings of tools like Google Translate)

A marketing-speak filtered out version of this announcement: You will be able to assemble your own docker engine by stripping out components you don't need (that have until now been shipped in a single docker binary) and keeping the ones you do. This is like assembling PCs, for docker.

I think this was mainly intended as an answer to the criticism docker has been receiving (by kubernetes maintainers and others) ever since they decided to ship swarm with docker. I think this move is great as it goes a step further and allows you to swap out build systems, volume mgmnt too. Even though I did not mind docker shipping with swarm, others in the community were, and this shows docker listened, which is great.

EDIT: grammar fix

Oh! I'm sorry. I forgot to add the disclaimer, and can't edit the parent comment anymore. I'm the author.

Yes. You can download a sample chapter from the aforementioned link

Orchestrating Docker.

I don't know if it's one of the best, but it teaches Docker concepts with a single project, and as you progress through chapters, you will find different ways you can deploy applications using Docker containers.

No it isn't. I did the same when I was starting out. Rather, we all do, when we are starting to learn anything new, by following tutorials, where you basically reimplement what the author of the tutorial has.

Personality Devpt: Conversational confidence (I get anxious when I'm talking to strangers). I got better this year, but long ways to go yet.

Career devpt: Sales

Mob. Platform: Swift/ObjC. In 2016, it was Android

Web Framework: React/Native. Last year, it was Angular

Langs: Golang/Rust, Haskell/Erlang/Elixir

Personal: Long form writing. I already write short stories at stories.shrikrishnaholla.in . Want to write something more ambitious

I can't overstate what a good advice this is. It's counterintuitive, but if you are just starting out, reinventing the wheel is the best practice you can get!

Start slow, and work your way up. I started with docker early, so I can see how its ecosystem can seem intimidating now, with all the different "tools" and "workflows" to know about. So my recommendation would be to go bottom up. Start with just plain old docker - learn what containers are, what makes them work, then see how to manage containers in a single host with compose. Then move on to clustering with swarm, and then move on to other cluster-mgmnt projects like k8s. Try to make your containers more space-efficient by basing your images on Alpine. Make your host more robust by using CoreOS/Rancher, and so on. You won't need all the steps (or even in the order) I've listed here. But once you've started with a base, you'll have some idea as to where you want to proceed next.

I am curious; does this apply to all of world's political sphere? Or only the United States'? If this applies to only US politics, then it becomes that much harder to qualify this as a political detox. If this is a detox from _all_ politics, then it is fundamentally unfair, as no recent political event in any other country has been controversial enough to warrant a censoring from HN. You cannot (you _can_, but you shouldn't) be biased towards any one section of HN userbase to the detriment of _all_ of the users.

Whenever someone quotes poverty and hardships in India, I feel the urge to defend - the scale at which India has to operate is completely different from any other country. Being a democracy, and hence having to deal with high viscosity in governance

It's a fictional short story, so I am guilty of taking liberties in imagination :) On the other hand, we did luck out that, when our systems were extremely vulnerable, the first attack to demonstrate those glaring issues was not intentionally malicious

There's an xkcd for that! http://xkcd.com/955/

Delivering internet (and maybe even have core infrastructure like DNS) via satellites (like Google and SpaceX, but not-for-profit) and allowing citizen funding (like planetary foundation)

There have been some attempts at this - assembly.com and one other company that I don't remember the name of. Has not worked out yet, as the contributors usually lose focus after a while
