Yup. Package management is basically a container manager containing files and hook scripts.

Docker? Container manager.

Virtualization? Container managers.

We used to use hipchat (campfire clone) but it was hard to follow lengthy conversations and favorite details for later. Flowdock for our uses is a zillion times better and can integrate with basically anything.

Asana is also amazing

I wouldn't compete in either of the spaces because it's so competitive and the apps are better than they were 5 years ago. 10x better would require so much cash and time, for the possibility of not capturing enough market to be viable.

It's clear after you spend 3 seconds on their site. There should be a demo or UI mockups without hitting play on a video (which shows no UI) so folks can see if it will work for them. It comes off that it is actual vaporware right now even if it's not.

Launching an app on HN?

TL;DR <5 words

We need more apolitical city managers getting things done and fewer Henry VIII's playing figurehead and having mercurial power to chop heads on a whim (ie JSOC).

Military adventurism, no matter the banner or origin, creates pernicious deferred blow-back.

When the rebels bring flying robotic IEDS to whomever they decide to target today, the shit is gonna be instantly way more complicated.

Btw if anyone needs complex (and which isn't) representation, Rajat Kuver is a super cool dude with offices in Palo Alto and Cupertino. Also a law prof. (Super cool, like it says on the tin.)

Totally. Perhaps we have so many choices, (claim to) understand so much we are in tune with the banal futility of most of it. It's paradox of choice, extreme existential edition. Make the best of it and find something most interesting, also survivable and occasionally fix broken stuff other people accept by walking past.

Existential fulfillment, finding some meaning in work or contribution is a need. There's plenty of big hairy social problems that need help: teaching homeless skills, volunteering or getting involved in local stuff. Tons of meaning and joy through helping people for the joy in itself. Even if it's listening to a local colorful individual that lacks friends. Giving back gets more back.

I heard about the Way of St James and Peace corps might give pause for compass finding. I dunno.

There are at least a quintillion ways to fail at different levels of strategic mistakes, with a few paths out by getting the big things right and making the best of change and uncertainty.

Intelligence seems orthogonal to the separate Big 5 factor of neuroticism, ie, prototypical security-industry hacker may not trust most people a priori (it seems it's usually very trusting || very untrusting). Perhaps they are a minority in aggregate, but being played for a fool seems like a deselectable vulnerability. Then again it's a soft science paper.

Remember vintage Fortran.

So I made once had the displeasure of doubling the performance of a fission reactor safety simulator by disabling win32's swap... 30 years and 2e7 LoC codebase. >.<. The working set was nowhere near smart, but it did work faster than AIX, HP-UX, SCO & Solaris/SunOS ports.

py, rb... js probably.

C++ is almost equivalent of Latin today, which is kind of good and kind of sad. It takes arcane experience at scale to know which obscure traps not to fall into, making it inaccessible to casual hacking. Which is the point.... The codebase includes a cultural zeitgeist. (And fun.)

I've worked on embedded C++ network stacks that restrict use of *alloc and new for various sized buffers and classes that have to be preallocated. That's one approach.

Just wondering why tcmalloc or boheme GC weren't discussed. Rewriting from scratch often equivocates to reinventing wheels, and avoidable typing, testing and maintenance. --effort && ++quality == awesome;

The psychological precept of projection on an institutional level effectively inspiring terrorist behavior, to further continue what the institution was doing. It's as diffuse and pointless as Vietnam.

This might be a completely crazy thought:

Given technological enablement, why cant govt be more run as a StackOverflow tempered by the elder wisdom of the Supreme Court? Rip the executive branch out and make the president more of a city manager than the political emperor. Absolute power corrupts...

JSOC running around killing almost maybe "bad guys" based on whom knows what evidence and also their own citizens now and then without a trial is disgusting. In retrospect, history may well judge Obama administration on par with the Salem witch trials for repugnant lack of morality. Who knows.

Also, the Metadata app on iOS puts drone strikes on a map. There are many in Yemen and Somalia, not just the Middle East proper. http://mashable.com/2014/02/07/apple-app-tracks-drone-strike...

Blue team, red team, green team... It's mostly the same crap. It boils down to working relationships.

CIA was founded as the intelligence directorate beholden primarily to the executive branch.

Transparency of approach, rationale needs to be made public. Otherwise it's too easy for hobgoblins in the press to make up stories and people to write books on where is Hoffa buried.

The patterns of drone strikes and raids points to JSOC as processing an ever-growing kill list directed by the POTUS. Feel free to peruse Dirty Wars docu.

Lessig / rootstrikers are working on the meta issue of campaign financing. Direct crowdfunding is part of it, the other part is holding reps accountable for their votes.

Call it what you like and I'll call it what I like. This is Hacker News after all. As such, there's an implied value of individual expression, if not anarchy, associated.

It was a repugnant act. Lawsuits may follow.

There's likely global (but unprovable given nature of social science) precedent for this and similar in most every culture where fidelity and virginity were absolute sacred values. Another practice for example, rural villagers in South American will kill you no questions asked if you mess with their daughters. In the US, a "shotgun wedding" had its name for a reason. My grandparents can attest that a couple of my great-grandparents were modern comparatively barbaric farmers (Jeff Foxworthy redneck jokes all the way).

Definitely not, Russian moves confirm it.

Any idea if the partial reunification will happen?

Yeah, they only take plutonium and heroin. Might be sketchy.

Separating movie portrayals and actual mindset...

Wouldn't the MIC over-emphasize Russian reliability whereas the rank-and-file tend to underestimate it?

Further, wouldn't RU do more or less the same, substituting design bureaus?

Yup. It's purely badass value.

I can vouch for this. A friend has a mig that's going to a museum, and they're gonna restore it to museum cond.

FYI never tell or show anyone you own a jet in storage or it will be likely robbed of flight / nav gear. High security storage is a must.

A serial bus of unique identifier switches (1wire or similar) connecting all the keys with a single loop could be cheaper at scale and solve NKRO. Possibly work on many vastly different (a few buttons to hundreds) product lines with the same ASIC with say only one or two support components per application.
