> Docker is a terrific product, but as a general-purpose solution, is simply too blunt an instrument for the deployment and management of JVM application containers

Why?

> Image management, logging and monitoring present challenges to general-purpose container solutions, but are non-issues for the JVM.

WTF? Java applications can be a pain to set up. Jars here, jars there, Maven, Ant, XML configuration, its all a big mess. If someone can do all that for me and say "here's my Docker image that just works" I would say issue solved.

> Docker images are big and contain full-blown operating systems as they are meant to run arbitrary applications: managing their archival and evolution can become a serious hassle. On the other hand JVM applications need nothing more than a JVM and a kernel

This person seems to have a serious lack of understanding of Docker. Your Docker image does not need to contain a "full-blown operating system" - it is perfectly acceptable for it to contain just the strict dependencies of the program (the JVM) you are running. On my system java links against libpthrad, libdl, libz and libc.

> Linking: Java already supports customized domain-name resolution, so Docker’s solution of modifying the container’s hosts file is unnecessary

Does he even get what linking is about? Linking is a way of sharing configuration between containers...so the mysql host:port on one container is available as a convenient environment variable or /etc/hosts on another. What has this got to do with Java's DNS custom support?

> Monitoring and Management: The JVM has its own rich monitoring and management API, JMX

And Docker is somehow preventing you from using this?

This post reeks of Java elitism and written by people who didn't even bother trying to understand the technology they are claiming is inferior or not applicable to a True Java approach.

I like that quote... thanks for sharing. I've also followed that vein of thought since the Snowden leaks.

I was aware of government surveillance before the Snowden leaks. I was always considered a "crazy conspiracy theorist". I didn't have concrete proof, but strong evidence. Looking back, I find it was odd that I was really dismissive of the FBI Spy Planes [0] that I had occasionally heard about. They seemed inefficient and far-fetched and I considered those people to be crazy conspiracy theorists. Woops.

After the Snowden leaks, I stopped being so dismissive of conspiracy theorists. I don't necessarily take them very seriously or believe them - but I don't treat them like they are claiming leprechauns exist. Unless there's a more reasonable or scientific explanation available, such as with "chemtrails". I'm still readily dismissive of that theory... just normal contrails.

You might be interested in looking for articles on "diabetes and inflammation" and then "inflammation and infection." There is a connection between diabetes and inflammation. Inflammation can be caused by infection and can also promote infection. We don't know why there is so much diabetes. It's possible it involves infection, something that will not be entirely solved by diet alone.

You'll have to explain how that's supposed to work. Are you saying that google is selling email addresses, that they are allowing people to supply content that they then send, or that the people running the ads are selling the email addresses? The first two I find extremely unlikely, and the third should not be possible, since running an ad does not give you info on who it was delivered to.

That's not true. The ninth amendment reads:

> The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people.

As such, it would be more accurate to say "Not ALL rights are not enumerated". Some are, some aren't. Those that are have traditionally proven harder to infringe. As such, it's not wrong to explicitly codify a right to privacy in the constitution in order to remove all ambiguity.

I worked at a regional newspaper for a large chunk of the last decade. I remember back around 2005, our publisher was very gung-ho about getting us to dedicate resources to rewriting other people's stories. The editorial department was unanimously against it, because it was not very useful to anyone, not real journalism, and in many cases seemed to verge on plagiarism.

Even with diabetes... Although this is not strictly a "diet" issue, for years, many doctors tried to strictly control blood sugar levels in their patients. Variations were frowned up.

Turns out, research has now shown that such "overmanaged" patients actually fare worse than those who allow some flexibility in glucose levels.

I have a quite knowledgeable family member who has diabetes, from whom I've learned this.

As I've gotten older, I've watched a lot of... um, "best practices", in health care as in other matters, be debunked. And, in retrospect, the advice often was a matter of self-reinforcing opinion rather than demonstrated science and research results.

I am surprised nobody has mentioned a word that has been a huge help in my career, "certification".

They are analogous if you represent side effects like this:

then an idempotent operation is

f(f(state, x), x) == f(state, x)

At one point in time[1], I hired a helicopter to act as a surrogate remote sensor doing data fusion with a ground robot. I flew as a passenger and told the pilot where to fly based on the ground robot's need for data.

Since we had to pay for the helicopter's time anyway, and the field trial was spread over two days, we left our equipment attached to the helicopter when it returned to its airfield that night. The next day we had a 78km long data set of LIDAR, GPS, visual imaging, and inertial measures, all from an altitude of about 25m giving us about +/- 2mm for the LIDAR's range data.

The sad end to this anecdote is that I have no idea what happened to that data. It's presumably sitting on a dusty server somewhere in academia.

Most people don't really care about government shutdowns because it doesn't directly cost most people much money. And, even then you'll notice the government never stays shutdown.

If government shutdowns meant a huge chunk of the voting population (across both parties) was suddenly going to owe thousands of dollars in extra taxes, you can bet they'd never happen.
This is some pretty wacky legal argument.

Background:

> Here, as in those other cases, the government had a search warrant for the device, but it was thwarted by the device’s lock screen in executing the search.

> The government cannot impose an unreasonable burden on Apple

And the case EFF cites to for that proposition holds: "We conclude, however, that the order issued here [requiring a telephone company to assist the FBI in wiretapping its customers] against respondent was clearly authorized by the All Writs Act and was consistent with the intent of Congress."

> and it cannot violate the Constitution.

Sure. But the fact that there's a warrant takes away your biggest Constitutional argument--the 4th amendment.

> What’s more, such an order would be unconstitutional. Code is speech, and forcing Apple to push backdoored updates would constitute “compelled speech” in violation of the First Amendment

So the government can't force Toyota to push a firmware update to fix faulty electronic throttles?

> government keeps pushing for “exceptional access” to encrypted devices and communications.

But that's the thing. It's not "exceptional." Since the founding, the compromise is that the government can get at nearly any place that might contain evidence, so long as it has a warrant. Digital privacy proponents are trying to move the goal line, limiting government power in unprecedented ways.

Note bene: I support pervasive encryption and oppose back doors.

Where Are They Now? Google Acquisition Edition
3d printing has been around since the 90s, but just recently did the public start to hear about it. It didn't change everything, but now 3d printers are affordable for hobbyists. Aviation companies are using it to make weird ultra-light parts for that can't be made any other way, but save huge money on fuel costs. Various companies are using it to make low production runs of widgets directly because it's not worth the cost of injection molding/CNC machining.

The whole industry is about to be disrupted though. HP has a new machine coming out in 2016 that does the same thing as industrial 3d printers except faster, cheaper, and in color. They have probably made a bunch of 3d printing processes obsolete. These machines might be fast and cheap enough to put in every kinkos in the country to locally produce moderate value plastic stuff(action figures, keychains, overpriced as seen on TV products), offer customized products(3d selfies, your face on an action figure), or consumer 3d printing.

In short, big companies are starting to get into the 3d printing game. The days of kickstarter 3d printers and 3d printers made by a bunch of guys in a garage are over.

Here is my impression of a lot of the problem, but I am certainly not an expert:

In the 80s and 90s the kind of therapy you see in movies where you lie on a couch and talk about your childhood became very popular. That is called pyschodynamic therapy. A lot of it is based on building certain dynamics between the patient and therapist, and so in a lot of ways it builds a dependence on the therapist. A lot of therapists feel pretty strongly against it, and that there are a lot of bad incentives at play. I agree with them. I also think this kind of therapy can even be regressive: it tends to focus on making the ego strong rather than flexible. I'd be willing to bet that was the kind of therapy your family members received.

Those who are doing the kind of therapy I'm talking about (some CBT, mindfulness & meditation, acceptance practice etc.) tend to be focused much more on skills than history. The point is not to figure out that you react to situations in a specific way because of some off hand comment your mother made when you were 5. The point is learning to recognize those situations, and to learn to have a goto way to deal with them. If you stay in this kind of therapy for more than 2 years it's probably a mistake. From day one my therapist talked about getting me out the door.

So my advice would to make sure you go in with a plan, focus on skillset building, not personal exploration (which can be useful in small doses, but also is extremely egocentric and can easily exacerbate issues imo). Have a timeline in mind (doesn't have to be strict, but like your family my parents were in therapy for decades - that's ridiculous and exploitative). Keep it goal oriented. Look for people with a lot of CBT experience.

And of course, the major caveat: I didn't go in with anything but general depression and anxiety. If you have major depression, PTSD, etc. I think the rules are probably pretty different (although my impression is that generally pyschodynamic therapy is not appropriate for that either).
Why don't you try making a Show HN with this? If you do, you might also add a first comment to the thread explaining what you've made and why.
This is a truly massive global issue and it hits quite close to me. I've been absolutely lucky in going to university and getting a reasonably promising role in a financial institution whilst studying. The flip side has happened to my brother who at this point is stuck doing menial jobs to pay for food and transport to get to university whilst he collects debt for going. I've had conversations to the effect of 'I actually cannot afford to go to class today or ill be losing another few hundred dollars i need for food' which is not a though ANY young person should have to face. The system needs immediate change for the future of our current society.

>There is no law stating that each generation of humans should have it easier and with more resources available to them.

No, but it's an absolute shame and a complete failure that this is has not been the case during the past 30 years with the resources and technology available to us and with the total wealth (of course distributed unequally) growing up.

I'm not talking about Third World either -- things might have been better there, but then again they started from a pretty low bar.

I still don't quite comprehend why people feel personally bothered by such things. Yes, it is better for society to have safeguards in place to prevent certain kinds of surveillance as a check on governmental and corporate power – and we need to fight for this – but some data about you stored on some servers, a targeted advertisement? What exactly is the immediate personal threat?

>I think when he says "genuine", he means they are genuinely giving it a try, not that they are doing it out of pure spiritual authenticity.

Yeah, that makes sense.

>Most business decisions (and most decisions) are made on some other basis than passion, nothing wrong with that.

Well, I prefer it to be the other way. And I could trace most issues with QA, scams, etc, on that. If they don't love and take pride in what they sell, they shouldn't sell it.
I think my main point is that therapy can be thought of as a performance enhancement, not just a repair. I know a ton of people who get along just fine without it, but could be a lot more effective both in their relationships and their work, if they had the same basic toolkit that I do to deal with emotions. Even in a highly functioning adult, if you haven't been to therapy I bet there is a fair amount of low hanging fruit.
Exactly. The Fourth Amendment should already be plenty for this, but a ton of exceptions have been carved out of it, along with the general interpretation that if your data is on someone else's server then no warrant is needed to access it.
Except that this is reductionist science at its best. There's not enough evidence to conclude that omega-6 is considered bad for our health.

What may be important is the balance between omega-3 and omega-6 in one's diet, with omega-6 ending up having negative consequences when one ingests too much simply because those same people aren't ingesting enough foods with omega-3.

Basically when speaking of food, humans have a finite capacity to eat, so if you eat too much of something, then you eat less of something else.

This may be the case for vegetables versus meat. It's generally accepted that too much meat is bad for our health, but the cause is completely unknown. And it's certainly not the fats, as we've been led to believe. Eating too much meat may be unhealthy simply because those people aren't eating enough vegetables.

Want to bet that in 4-5 years tops the current beliefs with those fatty acids will be turned on its head? There's no science that has failed us more than nutritional science. Pick any cult, any religions, any of the superstitions that have survived for hundreds or thousands of years and you've got something healthier than nutritional science because people have survived those cults and superstitions, yet it's becoming clear that nutritional science is responsible for the obesity epidemics ;-)
I've been focusing mostly on software engineering for the past 60% of their life (started at 9, am now 28). Last year I realized that even though I'm a good engineer who knows many tools and so on, who wouldn't dare see everything as a nail despite having a hammer. Despite all that, when you look at me from the outside, from the perspective of someone who isn't an engineer, I am just a very good hammerer.

I look at everything through the lense of software engineering. Because at the end of the day, even though I have many different hammers, I'm still pretty much just a hammerer. To make an actual thing, I need a domain expert.

And that's kinda frustrating when you think about it.
