This space is still (fairly) new, so the general answer seems to be that there are multiple solutions to each problem, some that work well with others and some that do not.

For orchestration, offhand the most active projects seem to be Kubernetes [1], Swarm [2], Deis [3] and Mesos[4]. Kubernetes is built primarily by Google, Swarm by Docker and Deis by EngineYard, with each team having experience in different areas (orchestration, containers and full-tier solutions, respectively).

[1] http://kubernetes.io/
[2] https://docs.docker.com/swarm/
[3] https://github.com/deis/deis
[4] http://mesos.apache.org/

Kubernetes, Swarm and Mesos handle the orchestration portions only, while Deis is a more feature-complete solution that handles the CI and registry portions as well.

Delivering updates to these solutions and doing so with zero downtime is still very early as well. Kubernetes has a rolling update mechanism, but it can still (occasionally) result in downtime if not setup correctly. Deis handles updates via git-push and will ensure that new containers are in place before the old ones are taken out of service. As for Swarm, my personal knowledge is limited in regards to rolling update, so I'll leave that for someone else to fill in.

For building and delivering images, there are as well multiple solutions. The common solutions are to use a Docker-compatible registry such as Quay [5] (Disclaimer: I'm a lead engineer on the Quay team) or the DockerHub [6]. In addition to supporting simple image pushes, both registries as well support building images in response to GitHub or BitBucket, so they can also be used as an integrated CI, of sorts. Both these services are paid for private repositories. Docker, as well, has an open source registry [7] which can be run on your own hardware or a cloud provider.

Registries are secured by running under HTTPS at all times (unless explicitly overridden in Docker via an env flag), and having user credentials for pushing and (if necessary) pulling images. Registries typically offer organizations and teams support as well, to allow for finer-grained permissions. Finally, some registries (such as Quay) offer robot credentials or named tokens for pulls that occur on production machines as an alternative to using a password.

[5] https://quay.io
[6] https://hub.docker.com/
[7] https://github.com/docker/distribution/blob/master/docs/depl...

In terms of how servers know when updates are available, it all depends on which orchestration system is being using. For Kubernetes, we at CoreOS has been experimenting with a small service call krud [8] which reacts to a Quay (or DockerHub) image-push webhook and automatically calls Kubernetes to perform a rolling update. Other orchestration systems have their own means and methods for either pushing or pulling the fact that the image to deploy has changed.

> "whitelisted" search will be the next wave in the industry

> ... strong editorial bias ...

Interesting. Care to elaborate?

When you use words like 'whitelisted' and 'editorial', I imagine humans adding something to a database one by one. But the volume of useful pages (and the number of site) is really large now, so I guess that's not what you mean.

One thing I like about search today is that it's almost comprehensive. If I know something exists on the (open) web, I can usually find it with a few searches, even if it's very recent or obscure. I don't want to go back to the days when I browsed gopher directories, or even to the days when finding good quality content meant a hierarchical journey from a directory to a site, to a site map, to an individual page.
My favorite is the online, automated EIN application system which has office hours[1].

You would also have to give your Vietnam era uncle at least 51% ownership of the company you can't just appoint him to a position of management in name only. I'm not saying this provision of law has never been abused but it isn't the outright farce you are portraying it as. I also wouldn't call the contract awarded under this provision special handouts. federal regulations does give these companies preferred treatment though that can streamline a lot of read tape.
Seems to me numbers 3 and 4 are quite unlikely to develop unless you studied statistics. Something like the Monty Hall problem is unobvious to most people I've met. Heck even phds discuss it. Conditional probability is really tricky and counterintuitive.

The other example is this old error, which is attributed to doctors (for some reason): You have a test which is 99 % accurate (will show the correct status) for presence of some illness. 1/1M people have the actual illness. You find someone with a positive score. What's the chance they have it? Well actually not as high as you think.
Way back, there were observations of 'giant galactic arcs', with all kinds of speculation as to their nature. Now we know it was simply an effect of gravitational lensing.

These excitable and far-flung statements about 'parallel universes' remind me of some of those early arc reports...

I"m trying to understand the fundamental concept he's describing - how are the examples different from 'rational thought'? Or are they that, in a way? And is the conclusion then (bringing the first and second parts together) that one can only develop this through being taught? But then, don't the same arguments that applied to the politics example apply to mysticists? And isn't that epistemological relativity all the way down?
I have nothing against nuclear energy, but I have a problem with "let's just put the waste, idunno, here and let it sit for a few thousand years".

In Germany, several of the energy companies completley distanced themselves from the waste they produce. I was at a conference once, where one of the heads of EnKK (a dauthger of EnBW) said after beeing asked what he things his responsibilities for the waste are:

"Well you know, you don't care what happens to your waste at home. Look to the law, we are not responsible."

I think this is one of the biggest reasons why nuclear power has run its course. I might be feasable for contries like the US, Russia or China to find a spot where to store their nuclear waste, but in densly populated areas in Europe? No way.

Just look at the catastrophy that is the Asse: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asse_II_mine

Tl;dr: As long as there is no secure way to store nuclear waste for a thousand years, nuclear has no future.

Just after the gateway thread, I dug about os2 2.0, and now this. It's very strange to see OS/2 still alive. And a conf.. Cool and weird at the same time. I wonder what the ecosystem looks like.
you are take a fairly innocuous statement like "Probably another reason not be scared of systemd ;)" and convert it to " assertion that I shouldn't be "scared of systemd" is extremely dismissive."

your five solid reasons include "systemd's scope continues to creep", "The Systemd Cabal continues to assert..." and continuous comparison with OpenRC that I have admitted that I'm not qualified to comment. Yet, Debian's CTTE was qualified and they rejected OpenRC in favor of Systemd. I havent made a statement like "why anyone would ever ask for technical details". I said it doesnt make a difference to me, because I'm getting a much better experience on systemd anyway.

My current comment had nothing to do with the superiority of systemd - it was an attempt for non-Linux users to try out Linux. Look at the other comments on this post - most people do NOT know linux can be used as a liveusb.. and espcially on macbooks.

Please do not take an attempt to get people to try out a cool Linux desktop and make it into a systemd vs openrc war.

The earnings of corporations are eventually taxed.

I don't see why they should be doubly taxed. If I go and perform a job, I will pay income taxes on it. If I go and hire a bunch of people, form a corporation, and perform a job, we will pay both corporate taxes and income taxes.

That doesn't make sense to me and I can understand why companies go to great lengths to avoid it.

So believe it or not, there exist legit reasons for applications to have office hours, and they're spelled Legacy Systems.

Imagine you've got a crufty COBOL mainframe somewhere, of which the IRS has lots. (The Social Security Administration has millions of lines of production COBOL, even in 2015. See: http://oig.ssa.gov/sites/default/files/audit/full/pdf/A-14-1...) Like most systems of the era, it differentiates interactive jobs and batch jobs. The batch jobs are designed to run when the interactive jobs are not, and they're not designed to be safe to run when the interactive jobs are running, because what IRS clerk needs to input data at 2 AM in the morning?

The people who've coded the systems are long-since retired. The systems are known to work but nothing is known about whether they can support requirements which didn't exist in 1970, like 24/7 access. There exists no money in the budget for blackboxing them to determine whether they are in fact safe for Causes A National Calamity If We Make Any Mistakes concurrent usage. 24/7 access is not a hard requirement, for anyone in decisionmaking authority.

Thus: office hours for web apps which are fundamentally just a front-end into an interactive job.
The way this comment is phrased is a bit misleading. FC23 is not the first distro to have have access to each of those four things individually, and some of those things are not even new to this Fedora release. Systemd has been the default init system in Fedora for a couple years now, and DNF (new package manager) came in Fedora 22.

For the actual changes go here:

>And my grandfather walked picket lines and got shot at. Robber barons were at the peak of their power. Children were exploited as laborers.

Which has been true since the beginning of time. Children worked hard labor on farms instead of factories, and there was more rural poverty instead of city poverty. On average things were improving.

But that's not even the point. Parent comment is talking about the health of the economy and the federal reserve. You are talking about the distribution of wealth. We could implement something like a basic income to redistribute wealth, without getting rid of free markets and capitalism.

The goal of economic policy should be to generate the most total wealth. Then we can decide what to do with that wealth.

How can a browser practice voodoo to find out what's running on the server? Flash is a client side technology, and the browsers (clients) got rid of it. There is absolutely no way to tell that a website is running Wordpress. Also, why would the browser even care what happens on the server? Blocking websites that use Wordpress is about as doable as blocking websites whose sysadmins have mohawks.
Last time I tried Fedora I got stuck on installing the boot manager, probably because of secure boot. It worked fine on Ubuntu though.
Totally not a statistician, but I'll give it a shot.

For the sake of the argument:

test accuracy: exactly 99.0% accurate
disease incidence: exactly 1 in 1 million

Calculation:

For the sake of simple calculations, let's assume we test exactly 1 million people.

tests positive = (1 * 0.99) + (999999 * 0.01)
tests positive = (.99) + (9999.99)
tests positive = 10000.98

We'll round up for the sake of argument to 10,001 positive results. And we know that only 1 person (remember that we're testing 1 million people) is actually sick. We have 1 actual sick in 10 thousand positives tests. So the probability that the positive test that is right in front of you is actually a truly sick person are 1 in 10 thousand.
> how's the install experience these days ?

The install experience is still entirely manual. However, the hardest part is deciding on the more contentious components, such as the choice of filesystem(s), partition scheme, and bootloader.

The actual install process is simply following the install guide, typing commands, and occasionally delving into the wiki to learn how to configure the more esoteric components, should you choose to use them.

Granted, this is far above what most normal people can or want to do, and that's fine. Other distros exist, with real installers, and they make mostly-sane choices for you.

> is there something cool that you get from Arch ?

- A system completely customized to your software tastes. You can do this with Fedora and Ubuntu after the fact, but you're not building those systems from the ground up.

- Unadulterated software. Arch keeps downstream patching to an absolute minimum. I'm running Gnome, not Gnome patched hundreds of times over to work with hundreds of external dependencies.

- A huge and well-maintained repository of unofficial software packages. Again, you get this with the popular distros, but Arch has a very decent canonical experience compared to them. I personally did not like dealing with PPAs to get user-packaged software on Ubuntu, for example.

- Current software. I run mainline kernels and the latest open-source graphics drivers with what I consider to be a reasonable testing buffer. What I consider reasonable is most likely not what others consider reasonable.

SEEKING WORK — Remote (from UK, currently in SE Asia, will be in the US in Dec+Jan+Feb)

I'm carl, a freelance Designer & front-end developer.

I focus mainly on the design of web & mobile applications, interaction design & prototyping. I wireframe, AB test, create incredibly usable UI and back up my decisions with research.
I'm as comfortable in Sketch & Photoshop as I am with front-end code. Extensive prototyping experience means that I'm good at writing clean, modular CSS and integrating into development teams to release my work.

For large projects where I'm tasked with taking an idea from conception to launch, I assemble highly skilled teams using the collective I founded: http://sixo.co

About 0.01%, or 1 in 10,000.

Consider a population of 100M people, of which 100 would have the illness. Of them, 99% = 99 would test positive and 1% = 1 would test negative. For the other 99,999,900 healthy people, 99% = 98,999,901 would test negative and 1% = 999,999 would test positive.

In total, 99 + 999,999 people would test positive. Given that a person tests positive, then, there is only a 99 / (99 + 999,999) ~= 0.01% chance that person has the illness.
> the state have no business over-defining these things for young people

Agreed. Hope you don't mind if I shoot the shit a little. You got me thinking.

The state sets a goal for us to make as much money as we can. It educates towards that. Banks incentivize saving, and the system promises more money if you make more money. When a country makes more money it can provide more for its citizens. Military protection and domestic luxuries. It's up to us as individuals to decide when we have done enough work, learned enough, or have enough money. The state will never say you've done "enough". Banks won't, and your parents won't either. They can't make that decision for you because everyone's potential varies based on environmental factors. You must make that decision yourself. And as individuals I believe none of us ever want to underperform. Yet we also don't want to be super stressed. So we try some stuff and see what sticks. What level of work and money allows us to move forward and experience new things? It's a lifelong effort to find out. We don't know for sure what we can or can't do tomorrow. Every day we have a different set of variables and opportunities.

I'm not sure this is anything new

Additionally, while using a lot of Hastelloy-N would be expensive, in the context of a full reactor it's a modest expense. Especially when you compare it against the extremely enormous forgings and gigantic reinforced concrete structures that traditional lightwater reactors use. Overall you end up with a much smaller and much safer reactor. And one that can burn existing high-level transuranic waste as well. It's such a huge win it's criminal we're not spending billions in R&D right now.

Guys, cut with the negativity. I'm a crypto nerd as well, and with my other truly paranoid friends we use Chatsecure which does not require your number, is compatible with Tor, etc. However, my mom uses Signal, my father yesterday called me via Signal and he's fuckin' 67 years old. That is truly amazing and I admire Moxie et.al for the work they do.

Do you seem to forget that it is encryption for the masses. Not only for the few tin foils like myself. And even if it uses GCM, it's still an great, since i could never persuade my non-paranoid friends to contact me only via Chatsecure. They would say - "why the fuck can't you be like a normal person and use whatsapp or fb messenger?".
Elasticsearch as a Time Series Data Store
Progress towards what?

For the developing world to get to the basics (rights/health/edu) the developed world is used to, we need a couple more planet earths in terms of resources.

We seem to end up with what happens in nature. Randomness. In one ecosystem a couple of whales and whole lot of plankton, in another a couple lions and herds of wildebeest.

So progress towards what? It's not entirely clear.
And where are the incentives to produce consensus about it or even focus on it? We can be doing a much better job creating those incentives.
