Interesting. As someone who has written a fair amount of evals to test and benchmark my skills and tools, I am curious what observability solutions you might be referring to? /me heads off to ddg…

100% agree. 95% of the AI comments I see are redundant, misleading or both. Commonly they feel like the reasoning process leaking into code.

I can’t count how many times I benefitted from seeing the files Claude was reading, to understand how I could interrupt and give it a little more context… saving thousands of tokens and sparing the context window. I must be in the minority of users who preferred seeing the actual files. I love claude code, but some of the recent updates seem like they’re making it harder for me to see what’s happening.. I agree with the author that verbose mode isn’t the answer. Seems to me this should be configurable

When I was taking calculus classes, and struggling, a tutor helped me immensely in the exact same way; explaining both practical applications and often the historical context around the method he was teaching me.

  Having some proprietary code doesn't prevent companies from also making substantial contributions to open source in other areas.

... yes, but patents are not "proprietary code", in which case granting copyright is enough. If a private company contributes code I think it could even grant the copyright to an open organization, but still decide later to sue if the method/feature/function/etc is patented by them.

Not that I'd foresee IBM or any of the real players in the IT space attempting that anymore, I think most realize that alienating the F/OSS community isn't a viable strategy for a software services company in the long term.

For a lot of applications: no, it's very similar, and if you have a language that can be easily statically compiled to a binary which is free of external dependencies and independently testable, and you've setup a build-test-deployment pipeline relying on that, then perhaps in your case containers are a solution in search of a problem :-)

But there are more benefits like Jessie touches upon in her blog post, wrt flexibility and patterns you can use with multiple containers sharing some namespaces, etc. And from the perspective of languages that do not compile to a native binary the containers offer a uniform way to package and deploy an application.

When I was at QuizUp and we decided to switch our deployment units to docker containers we had been deploying using custom-baked VM's (AMI's). When we first started doing that it was due to our immutable infrastructure philosophy, but soon it became a relied-upon and necessary abstraction to homogeneously deploy services whether they were written in python, java, scala, go, or c++.

Using docker containers allowed us to keep that level of abstraction while reducing overheads significantly, and due to the dockers being easy to start and run anywhere we became more infrastructure agnostic at the same time.

Compelling arguments for why next generation wireless networks should be standardised by a more open and inclusive body?

Absolutely.

I imagine they had a very strong bargaining position willing to commit this much, for this long. Even if Snapchat wasn't a valuable brand for Google to brag about, this amounts to ~10% of the yearly earnings [1] of Google's cloud business (SaaS and IaaS, of which I suspect SaaS like Apps for Work is the lion's share)

I'm sure they're getting a good deal, and can focus on features and getting their platform profitable, as you said.

1. "..at that pace, Google’s cloud could generate $4.1 billion in revenue in 2016" http://www.networkworld.com/article/3029164/cloud-computing/...

I'm having similar feelings. I wish Jet was better documented. I hope the Codeship team writes some concise documentation for it, but I wonder if it's against their best interest because it will enable tech savvier customers to run the same CI infrastructure locally, as they are charging for in their service?

It's funny how Amazon isn't mentioned in the article as one of the tech companies that should by vying for top position.

Although I suppose in raw numbers most of their staff are not engineers, so maybe it wouldn't be a fair comparison.

Well said. My blood boils thinking back to all the times I've heard "Yeah, but that's not REST." as a response to a perfectly reasonable and sane idea/suggestion.

I remember this being all over the local (Icelandic) news media a couple of years ago. Pretty interesting story: http://www.mbl.is/frettir/erlent/2013/02/28/hefur_thu_sed_ly...

Yeah, being able to compile and link a binary is pretty far from having a nice SDK :-)

I quite like this service, used it a couple of months ago (http://steinn.org/post/brute-force-still-going-strong/) although I would love it if I could change my terminal dimensions (char width/height) after recording. That way I could make the terminal window fit the surrounding container on my blog.

But A+ for usability :-)

I can identify with that, we built a custom nginx based load balancing / routing solution at QuizUp while I was there :-)

Good thought, I even think the article mentions kong as a future replacement for nginx :-)

You would be happy to have a person who mixes tabs and spaces as your PM? ... mixes tabs and spaces. Argh.

Yeah I'm curious too. I however looked up how many employees they had in 2014 (http://www.statista.com/statistics/273744/number-of-full-tim...), and their quarterly reports for 2014 (https://www.google.com/finance?fstype=ii&q=NASDAQ:GOOG), and got that they profited in the ballpark of 13-14 billion, and had 47,756 employees, so their profits would be somewhere between 270 and 290 thousand USD per employee.

I'm not good enough at reading these quarterly reports to be surer than this :-)

.. and on that note, having the age data of 823 employees from payscale.com seems a rather small sample set for a company of ~50k employees. I also wonder what kind of bias the source introduces, ie. whether your interest in your salary is different based on your age (I don't know).

What he said ^

They are wonderful and honest people yes, but with more support and subsequently power the risk of corruption and/or ulterior motives grow.

Thankfully the pirate party advocates extreme transparency which should make "casual corruption" more difficult.

Not really, I think both guys in the issue discussion are obviously very smart, and I can identify with their respective frustrations.

I do think Jake's comments are a little harsh as the README refers to Phantom Open Emoji in the 2nd paragraph -- however if I had just spent hours debugging something like this, making an annoyed issue on GitHub could be the outcome.

You've gotten plenty of replies already, many of which I haven't read. But I have this to say: I'm 31 and I often feel the same, but it's not real. Just read Dijkstra and don't worry about Angular, Ember, or the latest fad.

You'll find out that the real knowledge is relatively stable and how well people know the latest fad frameworks has little to do with their long term relevance or employability.

It's been a few months since I managed to dig into Docker for some test projects at work, but docker0 was the name of the virtual bridge interface so probably the documentation you linked is what we're going on about :-)

I only started playing with Docker last December, and I think this was supported from that point in time, so definitely it could be a recent addition.

Currently I'm envisioning Docker playing a nice role in our CI and development infrastructure at work, where we can choose to start a new docker for any given project, and get a locally accessible IP back in a matter of seconds ... all from our soon-to-be-created CI+deployment web ui ;-)

Another reason to do business with your local small business ISP.

The "expose a single port" default suggestions always annoyed me a bit, the fact is that each docker gets an IP on a virtual ethernet interface and with the right routes in place can be accessed by anyone on the same network -- so obviously more ports can be exposed :-)

I agree in spirit, but the idea of everyone starting at the same end of the download does indeed go against some of the core ideas of bit torrent.

Personally I think maybe something should be built on top of bit torrent to accomplish this task. To me it's a case of being careful when re-engineering underlying protocols because of a higher level need.

Anyway, it's a nice hack, but I kind of understand where the client developers who refuse to do this are coming from :-)

Good point, although as I understood it a lot of the actual time it takes to build the titan, is time spent waiting, and you do not have to be logged 8 hours per day for months at a time. This is at least very true for the "training" system in the game. You purchase a skill book, start training, and based on your characters stats the training will take a certain amount of time, no matter whether you are logged on or not.

Of course, as I believe someone else pointed out, you (or your alliance more like) need to guard the construction site while the Titan is being built -- so the cost of building one of these is definitely huge. I guess $1500 is a bargain, all things considered?

But BitTorrent wasn't invented to stream movies.

Nice! In light of how many fake ad-infested copies of every new game there seem to appear on Google Play, something like this was bound to pop up. I'm not sure I would exclude games which contain IPA's. Selling vanity items or accelerators -- as long as the normal game experience isn't crippled -- should not brand the game as "dishonest".

Never the less, great effort, I'll definitely use the site :-)
