Containers don't sacrifice performance at all — that's a big part of why they are so popular. Containers are completely ordinary processes that happen to be namespaced and isolated through kernel mechanisms. They have direct access to hardware and all sorts of kernel services such as file systems and sockets. The only indirection involved is the overlay file system, but anything I/O-critical is usually mounted from the host. There's no runtime checking or proxying or anything, and therefore no runtime cost.

Thank you! I actually have become more anal about code quality as I've gone along, to the point of annoying people. IonDB represents a much better coding standard, in my mind than LittleD. Like I say, every bit of documentation and cleanliness helps!
Finally! without the additional type information, it's almost impossible to do any meaningful refactoring...
No you don't.
I stand corrected twice. Probably just goes to show that a non-(current)developer should spend 30 minutes of research on a topic before commenting on a thread.

Parachute use to prevent death and major trauma related to gravitational challenge: systematic review of randomised controlled trials

Abstract
Objectives To determine whether parachutes are effective in preventing major trauma related to gravitational challenge.

Design Systematic review of randomised controlled trials.

...

Study selection: Studies showing the effects of using a parachute during free fall.

Results: We were unable to identify any randomised controlled trials of parachute intervention.

Conclusions: As with many interventions intended to prevent ill health, the effectiveness of parachutes has not been subjected to rigorous evaluation by using randomised controlled trials. Advocates of evidence based medicine have criticised the adoption of interventions evaluated by using only observational data. We think that everyone might benefit if the most radical protagonists of evidence based medicine organised and participated in a double blind, randomised, placebo controlled, crossover trial of the parachute.

The National Security Agency has proposed that ALL encryption be
done with devices designed by them, the internal workings of which will be
not be divulged. They apparently didn't like the public debate on the last
voluntary standard (for which SOME details were published), centering on
whether it had been designed to allow them to easily read "private"
communications. If this doesn't bother you, consider what your reaction would be
to the U.S. Postal service ( which already has a legal monopoly on carrying
mail) proposing that, for effiency, only it could provide envelopes and these
envelopes could only be sealed and opened by postal service employees.

They are just arbitrary expressions (though in Python, type names like 'int' or 'str' are themselves objects). They don't do anything by default but are accessible as fields of the function object.
This couldn't have happened before the internet: many of the attacks are automated and many take advantage of the fact that you don't have to pay extortionate long-distance rates for international phone calls, both direct consequences of the ease of communication enabled by the internet of today.

I agree, and I think regulatory is the key word with nuclear. Cost overruns and delays are due to the public's and government's ignorance on nuclear energy precipitating disproportionate regulations and hurdles. Nuclear, by far, represents the way forward if people could get over the irrational fears tied to the words "radiation" and "nuclear". It could be developed safely and less costly if we put up the resources. We need more nuclear physicists and engineers in the U.S. and the world.
It's tough to go against the US government who's subsidizing homeowners at renters' expense though. 30-year fixed mortgages are unheard of elsewhere in the world, that's why they all have to be underwritten by Fannie/Freddie in the ultimate end. And with where the interests rate are now, it's tough to resist locking that in for 30 years. And of course, mortgage interest tax deductions on top of that.

I think, generally speaking, society's morals have improved over the ages (glossing over the whole "what is morality?" debate — but you get the gist of what I'm trying to say). There's a theory known as collective rationality which posits that, as individuals, we are highly irrational beings, but as a holistic group, we eventually arrive at the most rational conclusion to an issue (even if it takes a very long time).

Collective rationality explains why we no longer have slavery, public executions, torture, etc. Women's rights and minority rights aren't quite where they should be yet, but the situation is certainly a lot better than it was a century ago.

I've tried to imagine how society will be different in the far future, and my best guess is that forgiveness will be of tantamount importance to society. The whole notion of "getting revenge" will be considered an ancient and barbaric concept, along with the whole prison system (punishment vs rehabilitation). The death penalty will almost certainly be gone. I think crime will be considered more of a mental illness or a physical brain defect that can be fixed rather than something that makes someone inherently evil (if someone is born with a damaged amygdala, is it really their fault that they turn out to be a sociopath?). I also think a lot of things that are currently considered taboo will no longer be considered as such, barring anything that brings harm to others.

July-Aug 1984 is when Atari fell apart; the Tramiels bought the bits of Atari they wanted, and coin-op went its separate way. Lots of layoffs. Soon after, many people left both companies. I remember a lot of names in those emails.

One memorable message (which I didn't see in the archive) was along the lines of:

"Look! Two companies, one email system!"

... that situation didn't last very long.

For a while I decided to be a system admin type and took responsibility for transferring the accounts of the folks in the Tramiel Atari to the Vaxes in Sunnyvale. That was fun, and more comfortable because the Tramiels couldn't turn off the air conditioning in the machine room in order to save money :-)

The keycard system in Sunnyvale controlled access to coin-op's building in Milpitas. It would periodically run out of paper to log to, fail-off and then folks in Milpitas couldn't get into their own building. That lasted maybe six months before they got sick of it and bought their own access system.
I'm not sold on the title of this article. It isn't about Docker Orchestration at all (an example of an article about orchestration would be https://blog.docker.com/2015/02/orchestrating-docker-with-ma...)

I was cooking, fish of all things, in the Picasso restaurant at the Bellagio Hotel, Las Vegas the day it opened. On my third interview the chef, Julian Serrano, said he would hire me but there was a catch, we were in San Francisco and he said that the job would be in Las Vegas. He just signed a 5 year $2M contract. Steve Wynn made clear the purpose of us being there, to make the list of Mobil's 5 star travel guide restaurants which there were only 25 or so at the time and none in Las Vegas -- it will still be years before the Michelin Guide came to the United States. The Mobil guide is now Forbes Travel Guide. It might have been AAA Five-Diamond Award but it's been a while and I forget which one is which. One of the requirements is linen napkins and the restaurant Serrano was at in San Francisco, Masa's, would have had them if they could find a laundry service to clean them. Steve Wynn was very serious about that restaurant. He hired Picasso's son, an interior designer, to design the dining room, he purchased $32M in Picasso artwork for the walls, and hired a Spanish chef. We imported whole turbot fish from Europe at $35/lbs that was only 60% usable, the bones and skin were tossed. It had nothing to do with Steve Wynn caring about food. He needed the prestige of five stars. It was something to aspire to. Why are these guides relevant? Because without the Michelin and Mobil travel guides, there is nothing to push these restaurants to aspire towards perfection whatever that is in a completely subjective art. The guides are the goal, the standard.

What is more interesting than this is why all attempts to create a fine dining restaurant in Las Vegas before the Bellagio opened failed.
Just read some of your other comments and found a very clear pattern.

You have a strong tendency to put words in people's mouths, insist they mean one thing when they clearly state they mean another, omit their key points to make your own, and generally browbeat them over often narrow sub-points that you refuse to release.

You appear to enjoy envisioning yourself to be superior, yet you seem to operate largely in a binary mode, and have great difficulty seeing shades of gray. So, the other person must be approached as a zero to your one (or vice-versa).

I still enjoyed some of your comments, but that style makes it really tough to have a real discussion, as evidenced on this thread and many others where bewilderment and frustration are expressed over your "style".

I hope you'll consider allowing others ownership of their own thoughts, opinions, and ideas, and trust that same actually are as expressed by them.

Case in point: the person who gave a seafood restaurant in Alaska a bad review because the tilapia "wasn't fresh".

First off, the closest place to Alaska where you can get really fresh tilapia is, like, Louisiana. It's a warm water fish (native to the Mediterranean, if I remember right). Secondly, it's a mass-produced trash fish. This place has wild-caught salmon, halibut, king crab... but nope. The dude orders tilapia, then throws a wobbly because it's not fresh.
Law may be a monopoly of the state in the US, but it's not something that the state is guaranteed to always have the best of. In Russia and China, if "the government" (however we interpret that) wants something, it gets it. In the US (and many other places), it can be found to be unlawful and the government doesn't get it.

I agree that just looking at only the Word Gap and Socioeconomic Status probably doesn't tell the whole picture. If those were the only two levers that mattered, it would be easy to assume that giving people money would close the gap, but it is likely a combination of many factors - some of which likely stem from socioeconomic status - and others which stem from other reasons.

Some of the other data points that would be interesting to know would be:

1) whether or not the child has a parent or full-time caretaker in the home

2) does the child attend preschool

3) how much television/videos does the child watch

4) how regularly the child is read to

This article discusses "today", yet it has no publication date. Well, it mentions "2015" in the conclusion, but that's it.

This trend to publish without a date is ill-conceived.
It is basic tendency to want everything .. good house, awesome salary, awesome spouse & kids, health, career, memories, respect, fame, etc. But for most of us we can only have a small subset of these and its a trade-off. What causes frustration (from personal experience) is that we are unable to make peace with the subset we choose. If you want A+ career then something has to give.

All this is easier said than done. What has happened since last many decades is that it is harder to choose the subset and harder to make peace with the trade-off we made. It is from these that many people have regrets in later life about things they could have done.

I am at present "jack of all trades but master of none" situation for the categories I mentioned and I have still not made peace with it.
Social housing schemes are very inefficient and, ironically, further entrap their participants in poverty. I can't speak for Germany, but in Australia most state social housing schemes are heavily oversubscribed, and so are rationed. A new participant can spend years on a waiting list before finally getting access to rent-subsidised social housing.

And once you're in your rent-subsidised government owned dwelling, you're tied to that location. If you're offered a higher paying job that would require you to move, chances are you wouldn't because you'd either:

(a) have to go to the back of the rationing queue, or
(b) lose access to social housing entirely

In other words, the effective marginal tax rate on additional earnings are well over 100% if relocation is required. Therefore, the rational financial decision is to stick with your lower paying job (or unemployment) to hold on to your rent-subsidy. Hence the social housing 'poverty trap'.

From a 'whole of economy' perspective it's even worse. In the aggregate, social housing impedes labour mobility, in turn lowering economic output and increasing the rate of structural unemployment/under-employment. Furthermore, it saps land market efficiency, as older social housing locations (that were previously on the outskirts of the CBD) are now in 'inner-city' areas (due to metropolitan expansion). As a result, land that could be put to much more productive use is tied up by social housing tenements.

Although the above is a bit of a simplification, in the final analysis social housing is a complete policy disaster that creates bad economic outcomes for both the financially disadvantaged and society overall.

It would be far better if social housing (and the land it is situated on) was sold on the private market (at market value) and the money put towards direct rent subsidies (that taper as income rises). Although this still causes higher effective marginal tax rates (due to payment tapering), the system can be designed so that EMTRs do not come close to 100% and there are actually positive incentives for those receiving rent subsidies to relocate if offered a higher paying job.

For sure you can do better than zero interest rate. How about bonds, life insurance ?

On a riskier side a passive/long term investment strategy is in IMO a good way to go. Buy a few ETFs and forget about them.

>"A total of 680 G0 wild-type embryos of the Indian strain of An. stephensi (15) was injected with a solution... A total of 122 and 129 adult males and females, respectively (37%), survived to the adult stage. Adults were assigned to 22 male-founder and 9 female-founder pools and outcrossed to wild-type adults of the opposite sex. Two males positive for DsRed fluorescence (DsRed+), designated 10.1 and 10.2, were recovered following screening of 25,712 G1 larvae.
[...]
G0 males and females were outcrossed to wild-type mosquitoes in pools of ∼5 G0 males or 15–30 G0 females. All G1, G2, G3, and G4 progeny were screened as larvae for DsRed fluorescence"

So they started with 680 embryos they attempted to modify. Out of these, 251/680 survived (what is normal survival to adulthood?). They do not report whether these had red eyes, what the sequences were, etc. But then they mated these with normal mosquitoes (0% red eyes in the WT? They don't say) and saw that 2/25712 (~1 in 10,000) of the offspring had red eyes. They also show blots containing a single technical replicate from each of the two red-eyed mosquitoes that indicate both normal and edited genes were present.

Everything else is based on further analysis of progeny from these two mosquitoes (which were one generation removed from the gene modification step). There is very little info here regarding what happened during the initial steps. Also, I see no mention of blinding. I wonder if this can be explained some other way.

I'm not sure I agree with you about not treating seriously the issues of rule of law being under attack. As you said, it's not a piece of legislation, it's a feature of a society. But like most things in a society, it works because people trust in it. Living under the rule of law makes me inclined to follow the rules because I know everyone else will play ball too, and those who try to gain an unfair advantage will be punished. That the system is not always efficient - hence some amount of crime and corruption - is something people generally understand and can live with. But when one sees that law gets applied unevenly, that people "dedicated to actually enforcing that construct" can't handle the issue or are themselves corrupt, when some get rich by having companies that blatantly break the law and get praised for it, one starts to wonder why they're following the rules in the first place. I see the rule of law as something that can very well break down fast when the public loses its trust in it.

An interesting theme in your comment is how geography led to the creation of the rule of law and moving away from absolute monarchy. England could develop those because it was relatively safe, while the rest of Europe was constantly fighting fires. It's a lesson about the importance of stability - when you don't have to keep fighting for what you have, you can focus on doing something else. This is one of the reasons I don't buy the libertarian dream - having to constantly fight for your interests is a tax on attention. We progress by abstracting things away, even if imperfectly.
Perhaps I'm splitting hairs, but I don't recall the Bible being mentioned in the comment.

The article also details Biblical figures with made up links to Glastonbury, but you have to get past the subtitle first.

"Can a country's democratic institutions survive when the primary emotion underlying so much of its social policy, and determining the allocation of a sizable proportion of its annual revenues, is revenge?...We will in short become a community in name only, an increasingly atomized continent in which the primary role of government is to instill fear of the law rather than respect for its integrity."

Sorry, but the global shipping/maritime industry is only responsible for like 5%, maybe less, of emissions, as nasty as bunkers are, so it looks like you're the one staring at a tree.

Like you mentioned, the real concern here is China and India's ability to grow their power generation stack using renewables rather than fossil fuels. Whether or not some more voyages take place will be trivial compared to the impact of China/India's power generation.
>>> Committing crime, any crime, was to “sin” – and it appeared that as far as the church was concerned, so long as you were sorry, God would forgive you your sins. For me forgiveness was the sole prerogative of the victim.

Maybe the priest didn't explain this very well, but repentance in Christianity does actually include repaying the victims of your crimes. It's not a get-out-of-jail-free card.

e.g.

(Matthew 5:23-26) So if you are offering your gift at the altar and there remember that your brother has something against you, leave your gift there before the altar and go. First be reconciled to your brother, and then come and offer your gift. Come to terms quickly with your accuser while you are going with him to court, lest your accuser hand you over to the judge, and the judge to the guard, and you be put in prison. Truly, I say to you, you will never get out until you have paid the last penny.

(Luke 19:1-10) He entered Jericho and was passing through. And behold, there was a man named Zacchaeus. He was a chief tax collector and was rich. And he was seeking to see who Jesus was, but on account of the crowd he could not, because he was small in stature. So he ran on ahead and climbed up into a sycamore tree to see him, for he was about to pass that way. And when Jesus came to the place, he looked up and said to him, “Zacchaeus, hurry and come down, for I must stay at your house today.” So he hurried and came down and received him joyfully. And when they saw it, they all grumbled, “He has gone in to be the guest of a man who is a sinner.” And Zacchaeus stood and said to the Lord, “Behold, Lord, the half of my goods I give to the poor. And if I have defrauded anyone of anything, I restore it fourfold.” And Jesus said to him, “Today salvation has come to this house, since he also is a son of Abraham. For the Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost.”
