How is the multi-host networking implemented? Is there a dependency on a service discovery system? What service discovery system? Or are they using portable IP addresses? How are those implemented? Overlay networks? BGP? Or is it doing some crazy IPTables rules with NAT?

Will it work with existing service discovery systems? What happens if a container I'm linked to goes down and comes up on another host? Do I get transparently reconnected?

There's so much involved with the abstraction they're making that I'm getting a suspicion that it's probably an unwieldy beast of an implementation that probably leaks abstractions everywhere. I'd love to be proven otherwise, but their lack of details should make any developer nervous to bet their product on docker.
It'd be interesting to see similar stats for less well-known browsers like NetSurf and Dillo, which are also far simpler. I doubt they have anywhere near as many developers as the big ones, but as the saying goes, "quantity is not quality"...

Those are all good points, but when programmers talk about feeling fraudulent aren't they talking about their level of knowledge and/or competence? I'm not saying that work ethic, tidiness, etc., aren't standards but I suspect that when a programmer fears that they're are a fraud they're not so much worried about the quality of their commit comments as they are, say, the breadth of their knowledge across the web stack, or their expertise in tuning databases, or their mastery of design patterns, etc. In other words, intellectual skills rather than good habits.

I admire the integrity of those workers who own to feeling like a fraud, especially those who talk openly about it, and I'm not seeing that they are 'objectively' frauds, simply suggesting that something is out of synch for them to feel fraudulent in the first place. Denying feelings of self-fraudulence COULD discourage someone from taking actions to become an expert ... or it could have the opposite effect.

As I understand it, another important part of New Zealand's anti-nuclear position is the French bombing of the Rainbow Warrior--a Greenpeace boat en route to protest French nuclear tests--in a New Zealand port. The lack of international response to the attack certainly had a big impact on foreign policy, and I have to think that it influenced popular opinion of nuclear power as well. Incidentally, this was just a few months after Lange's Oxford Union debate.

I know. It still doesn't make sense when people use k/M for 1,000, M/m/kk/MM/mm for 1,000,000 and B/MM/mm for 1,000,000,000. (sorted by ~popularity)

It's even more annoying when someone uses "k" and "mm" in the same post, since the whole idea of "mm" comes from repeating roman "M" (1,000). So why not stick to k/kk (WoW-style) or M/MM (almost-roman style)?

At least "k" and "M" are based on some kind of standard.

The conspiracy theorist in me says the gas station was just a front to funnel the money somewhere else, somewhere with no governmental oversight.

I have played several hours of this game, and I don't know whether it's just that I'm older now, but the gameplay only kept me interested for about five hours. (As a child I played all the Escape Velocity games for months on end.)

Everything dies far too fast for combat to have any strategic element. And (in the build I last played, anyway) trade prices are static, so you just need to find that one good trade route and run it until you're insanely wealthy.

But I am excited to see how it develops further. The potential for the main game is big enough, let alone mods and total conversions.
Maybe in a past age, deep and wasteful US military budgets actually did benefit most Americans. But, personally, I haven't see any real return on investment.

On the other hand, having lived in Northern Virginia over the last decade, I have noticed a lot more Ferraris and Lamborghinis on the roads. So, at least someone is benefiting.
It's ignored because it doesn't matter. Mineral reserves only count ore that can be extracted economically at current prices; at current prices we have sufficient uranium for well longer than it takes to find and extract more (so there is no economic incentive to look).

If usage increased greatly and there was some prospect of greatly increased prices lots (hundreds of times current reserves) of marginal ores become available.

This doesn't hurt the economics of uranium fission for power because fuel prices aren't a significant cost. (this is why it's so hard to make breeders economical -- the main benefit is waste disposal and it's hard to compete with a hole in the ground on price.)

I'm sorry if my earlier posts weren't clear. I mentioned the kind of scale we're working on in another post -- the previous version is under 100K lines of code so still not really that large or complex as UIs go. But yes, it's a little more challenging than TodoMVC. :-)

In any case, our current view is that there is a useful middle ground where React may work well for us. The app in question predates just about all of the modern JS UI libraries/frameworks, at least in anything close to their current forms, so much of the rendering and event management code right at the front end is built with jQuery, early toolkits, and in many cases a lot of home-grown code. All of this still works pretty well, but quite a large proportion of it is functionality that every UI library in the universe provides today, so there's little reason to maintain another version any more. The rest of the app does have a good architecture that has stood the test of time, but for the next big update we're trying to solve much the same issues as everyone else with managing UI code as the app grows.

React is of interest to us for several reasons, from being a useful templating mechanism, through providing a way of composing components that are relatively clean and modular in design, to its efficient DOM updates and declarative nature. These too are presumably the features that make it attractive to many of its users. But it is also of interest for this project precisely because its scope is tightly confined to just the rendering parts of the system and it doesn't try to lock the whole app into its own framework.

We just confirmed early that some of the hype really is only that, and that scaling up to the kind of UI that has more than a few hundred data points on screen at one time is not as easy as some of the advocacy might suggest, so we're exploring how we can use the tool to take advantage of what it clearly does offer and play to its strengths without paying too high a price. In that respect, it's really no different to any other library we'd evaluate.

They are implying that medical devices are notoriously bad at being proprietary/closed. Hospitals would be much better off if the devices could talk to each other but it isn't feasible as-is because device manufacturers want lock-in. The current situation leads to issues like alarm fatigue where nurses effectively ignore problems due to too many devices. If they were centralized then there could be one management system that intelligently alerts the nurse of any issues.

> So while you sold RMB someone else must have bought it.

And who is selling USD to buy RMB these days (besides the export companies that have to)? Definitely not my Chinese colleagues, nor my foreign colleagues. The direction is basically one way at the moment. How long can that be sustained? Do you want to change some of your USD to buy a house in Shanghai?

> Meanwhile the Chinese economy runs on the RMB. Has the amount of RMB in circulation been dwindling?

I assume not, they are probably just printing a bit more ATM. And the vast majority of the Chinese people don't have dollar assets...its just the middle/upper class we are talking about. Their share of the economy is huge, however.

> Likely but they swapped the holdings for other assets such as real estate.

Yep. That real estate isn't in China, and isn't contributing to the Chinese economy.

The DoD already has off the books budget stuff. If it was black budget this letter would have never happened.

If you want to conspiracy theorize, this fits with the classic gov't construction grift model. Gov't employee gets a huge bribe. Gov't employee gives a huge lucrative to the person who bribed them. They waste of a bunch of money on contractors who don't show up or show up and don't work. Years later its way over budget and the delivered project sucks. That's classic government corruption.

One telltale sign is the amount of overhead - 30 million - on a 42 million dollar project.
Well I saw the movie, and Marty did make it back to 1985. The problem is that the analysis assumes that every second in the film corresponds to a second in real life. That's not true, the shots overlap in real life but are shown after one another in a sequence to make showing what happened (possibly at the same time) more practical. This overlapping is often used in dramatic representations of real events in movies.

One hint is when the author notes that acceleration happens much more quickly during the few short shots when the speedometer is visible, i.e. the acceleration is much quicker compared to the assumed linear acceleration in-between those shots.

It would be an interesting project to analyse the sequence of shots and figure out which ones overlapped by how much, to make the time/distances/accelerations work out.

This completes Docker.
Some factors for choice:

- security policy: how are notifications handled and what's the normal timeframe for published update (RH and Ubuntu have upper hand here because they will often get embargoed early notifications)

- rolling update / stable snapshots: do you prefer to deal with a big upgrade breakage ~once a year, or small ones potentially at any point?

- source or binary packages?

- what security options are integrated? (RH-based: selinux, ubuntu-based: apparmor, gentoo: grsec/selinux)

- a year ago I'd say systemd/sanity, but Arch adopted systemd and there are no big linux distributions without it anymore

- team behind the project - is it only a handful of people dealing with issues when they have time, or are they paid enough to work on the weekend if something terrible happens?

- kernel - are you getting extra patches for critical issues, or completely new versions in updates?

- foss - do you care about splitting software into free/non-free repositories (debian does it)

The rest is gravy. There's not much real difference between systems after that.

My choice: Arch for home (CVEs monitored, rolling update, binary packages, tomoyo lsm, big team, new kernels, don't care about foss split), Ubuntu for work (security team with quick respose, stable snapshots, apparmor lsm, big team, kernel patches, kind-of-foss-split).
Yes, I get that. But it isn't that simple...it doesn't have to be "now". The RMB I'm changing to USD today was probably bought 5 years ago (when China had a huge trade surplus and lots of excess dollars on hand). Hence why China has to sell treasuries today to give me my USD. I'm not technically "trading", the RMB is not fully convertible in that sense.

Companies are still trading, earning USD, changing it to RMB. There are still trade surpluses. But it isn't enough to keep the surplus steady, the surplus will now shrink for awhile.

> It can be argued that Systemd does do just one thing... Systemd is a process lifecycle supervisor. It tracks the lifetimes of processes. That's about it.

It's also a /dev node manager, and a syslogd replacement, and a cron replacement, and a dhcpcd replacement, and a mount/umount, insmod/modprobe reimplementation, [0] and a bootloader, [1] and...

The systemd project is huge, sprawling, and continues to grow.

> Cron is probably the worst example of "do one thing well", because it does that one thing very poorly. It can only start stuff. [If you want something sophisticated you inevitably have to implement systemd.]

It turns out that you don't! Check out fcron. Its crontab is described here: [2]. If you're impatient, search for "The options can be set either for every line".

> Things built on top of [Unix's process model] tend to be shell scripts.

The phrase "shell scripts" gets tossed around like it's a slur.

What are the essential differences between a Bash program, a Python program, a TCL program, an Erlang program, and a C program that all do the very same thing? What makes "shell scripts" so undesirable?

[0] Given the number of times things like recursive bind umounts, module loading/unloading, and more core stuff have broken on systemd-enabled systems and only such systems, it's almost impossible to believe that mount/umount, insmod/modprobe & etc. aren't being reimplemented in the systemd project. ;)

My first "prebuilt" PC was from Gateway, sometime in the late '90s -- it was a Pentium 166, back when that was considered a pretty big deal, and it had the very first 3dfx graphics card in it (which was also a pretty big deal then). I'm not sure there was anything particularly special about it, but it seemed well-built.

It's interesting that this is the first time I remember hearing of Hammond, though. Back in the day his co-founder Ted Waitt was the one in the public eye. Wikipedia describes Waitt as "an American billionaire philanthropist who was a co-founder of Gateway, Inc.," and Waitt still lives in Southern California; from appearances, Hammond moved back to Iowa and started a custom car repair business. It's hard not to wonder if he got written out of Gateway's fortune as well as their public history.

Well, at least Kudankulam Nuclear Power Plant was being delayed due to protests by local people. Another reason why better results are not being obtained is because of the subsidy on CO2 emitting fuels by not taxing the externalities (which would make nuclear power significantly more profitable) and also difficulties in obtaining nuclear material (NSG, for example). Kudankulam power plant generates power at 4.29 rupees/kW.h which is barely profitable compared to other methods (mostly fossil fuels).

As someone who was bothered by a fear of death from a young age, I always thought I would want to die in a blaze of glory - skiing off a huge cliff, skydiving, etc... But as I aged (still young, only 34) I found, what I think, is the perfect summation of how I want to die (I forget the author, in a hurry and google is failing me. Probably Neruda):

"I want to die at the end of the day // in the high seas // with my face towards the sky // when it seems like agony is just a dream // and the soul, a bird ascending in flight //
Let there be no sad tears as I draw my last breath, // At one and alone with the sky and the sea, // No sobbing, nor prayer, nor laments of death // I only would hear the deep waves cover me // To die when the bright glow of twilight is fading, // and catches the waves in its last net of light // to be like that sun as its luminous shading // expires and is lost in the arms of the night // To die, and die young, before time has destroyed // the delicate fabric illusion has spun // when life can still say: “I am yours” but the void // Of a final echo tells us death has won!"

How exactly to attain that feeling, I am unsure...
