Kaiba (award-winning animé; weird visuals that ultimately emphasise the underlying theme; all about memory and identity)

Eclipse Phase sourcebooks (tabletop RPG, the most coherent treatment of this kind of thing I've ever seen; open-source)

Someone has already mentioned Rainbows End

Chasm City by Alastair Reynolds (novel, further future - part of a wider series but this one has particular identity aspects to it. Can be a bit long and cumbersome - try Diamond Dogs for shorter Reynolds, though that's further detached from present reality)

Altered Carbon (and sequels) by Richard Morgan (novels (the first one in particular has a whodunnit aspect), near-future, about memory and identity, written from a fairly leftist perspective about a capitalist dystopia)

Various of Jon Courtenay Grimwood's novels, particularly 9tail Fox. Grimwood is... divisive, and sometimes hasn't done the research, but it's very much this kind of subject matter

I think they picked the wrong term and meant something closer to service than process. If your service is say postfix, it consists of a half dozen or so processes that make up one service. I don't think 'they' would say that you should run each of the processes in a separate docker. So sometimes a single service is more than one process, and sometimes they are not as tightly coupled as postfix...

I really don't see it as a problem with Yelp. Yelp is doing everything in its best interests - even if its inhumane, immoral and scummy. I see it as a problem with a completely broken social care system in the US which is just utter bullshit, no guaranteed maternity leave is not something you would normally accuse a "1st" world country of.
The naive scenario is to fire up those VMs in a network completely contained within your development system and test locally. This makes the VMs safe.

However this seldom works because web sites, even the ones running on localhost, have all sort of external dependencies, from webfonts to third part assets stored on CDNs. So VMs need an access to the Internet and that access could compromise them.

Probably restoring them from the original image after each shutdown is the best way to fix this issue.

I will probably get downvoted for this, but: this is why I am skeptical about self-driving vehicles. Driving in general and adjusting to each country/locality, then to vehicle types is such a human thing that you'd need a thousand more "deep understanding" things like this.

It will be an endless process for an algorithm driven car. Buses in Dublin will be so much different from buses in London, or trucks in the US different from trucks in Germany. Then there are the bikes, pedestrians. When human drivers/bikers/pedestrians look at each other and know what to expect. These are the things that would be incredibly difficult to formalize, if possible at all. Unless you have something like a Deep Mind on board, but even then I wouldn't be so sure.
I'm British and living in the UK, so under law I can't be fired for taking time off for an emergency with any of my dependents, and I'm entitled to "parental leave" for things like appointments[1]. This is the absolute minimum I would expect a country to afford its citizens.

This is how this problem should be dealt with at the macro level. I find it saddening to see the micro-level impact of not having these sorts of laws in place.

Engines of Light I thought was a bit overblown, although it's got some really nice bits in it. The Fall Revolution series is amazing --- hugely fun despite being politically literate, and I find it particularly impressive how The Cassini Division and The Stone Canal portray the same society from diametrically opposed perspectives, and convincingly both ways. Plus all his books are a refreshing change from the overwhelming libertarianism-uber-alles majority of SF.

Something like that certainly plays it's role. I'm doing that as well for certain inputs and experience no lag at all, so it depends more on their implementation of the store. I think their search store is probably doing a lot more than mine (although, entering text, querying an API, processing response async). It seems like they could introduce some optimizations there.
> Society does not owe any special treatment to a single mom, not more than any other mom.

Just playing the devil's advocate here:

1) Society also does not provide any particular path for her kid's pre-school, which she must cover out out of pocket, unlike, let's say, creches in France.

2) When her kid grows up, society (in California at least) also doesn't provide any meaningful transportation options to/from school. She will have to handle the driving. Her best hope is to find other parents who'd agree to a carpool, so that at least it's not daily.

3) Most work hours are 8 to 6. Most school hours are conveniently 9 to 3, which means that she ought to explain to the coworkers that she'll be late in the morning as she needs to drop off the kid at school and then pay someone (after-school care) to pick the kid up at 3, or drive herself, if feasible.

4) In some states leaving the kids at home alone would be a reason for neighbors to call Child Protection Services, so there's a need to hire someone to accompany the kid from 3 till 6 until mother gets home.

So while society may not owe a single mother much, it seems to have gone to incredible lengths to complicate their lives and annihilate any possibility of them having a career and any modicum of social mobility.

> a good Masters degree will definitely leave a motivated and skilled student with a good advisor a master of his or her specific field.

I'm having trouble believing this.

In UK, most Masters degrees last 1 year, and there are several degrees considered good such as Imperial's MSc in Machine Learning, Cambridge's MPhil in Machine Learning, Speech and Language Technology, Edinburgh's MSc in Cognitive Science, and others. Is it really possible to become a "master" of machine learning in one year?

Also, at least in Computer Science, most of the Bachelors degrees considered good in UK do not seem to focus at all on replicating science. In fact, for my final year undergraduate project, I was encouraged to find something novel, and at no point my supervisor hinted towards focusing on replicability.

Is it perhaps more common in US?

'When compared to other forms of advertising' is a cop out in my view.

Those other forms are generally avoidable with either zero cost, or a (debatable) net gain.

For example, one can simply choose to not watch broadcast TV, or read newspapers, preferring instead ad-free sources (which are generally better in my experience anyway).

I can't opt out of outdoor advertising without leaving employment opportunities behind or moving away from family and friends.

So that makes the baseline zero against something.

We have Piccadilly Circus/Times Square style moving LED billboards popping up in more and more places now with inane products on them. I don't want to look at pointless consumerist nonsense all day, I want to see life, not capitalism. If you think that's easy to just 'block' I suspect you're quite different to me.

Taking the LU as an example: there are ads above and in front of your head at all times, at stations (every minute) there are ads on the walls (which sometimes move), the escalators have moving LCD screens with advertising on them. Then you get outside and there's probably an advert in front of your face (because the station is a heavily trafficked area).

TV is no comparison! That's 10 minutes completely ad-free with a break that you can stand up and walk away from.

I tried this out, and the benchmark page performance is pretty bad on servo without the new painter. great with the new painter.

Interestingly, the same benchmarks seem pretty fast on mac chrome for me, so I wonder if I'm missing something about how effective the new technique is?
Sounds pretty reasonable to me.

Doing this properly is often not the most fun thing that people can be doing, but is extremely important for getting others using your, well, whatever. I remember working with an older colleague who was excellent at building up good documentation and we'd follow whatever instructions were there, hit problems and solve them, add something to the docs then go back to the beginning and go through everything again. In doing so, we could often create scripts to automate sections and improve the setup process itself.

It's a task that can be hard to get devs to spend their time on, requires skill in a few different areas and has some clear benefits (reduce dev setup time / onboarding costs, improve customer support, etc). There's no lock-in and progress and completion can be pretty clear.

There might be a good source of bounties for the same kind of thing for open source projects too.
> Most container orchestration systems (Kubernetes, Mesos, ECS, etc.) handle restarting failed containers - that's generally something you want to be outside of your container, not inside.

Not sure if I understand correctly. I'm using ECS. How would you provision the Host with supervisord (automatedly)?
ECS and the other systems are taking care of restarting the containers anyway, but they don't necessarily have any logic attached (like restart it 5 times, then stop and notifify if the container doesn't come up again).

From my POV it's definitely better to directly have it deployed within the container. Maybe it's depending on the use case.

The problem is that it often happens that the container cannot restart because the main process (invoked by ENTRYPOINT or CMD) cannot start up anymore, e.g. because of corrupted (config) data which has to be loaded on startup or other suddenly unsatisfied dependencies.
Bloggers whose imagination ends at "The only conclusion that I can come to is that he must be recieving money from Oracle." aren't worth reading, IMO.

When my father died last year, I was immediately offered (without me even asking for) up to two weeks payed leave. And they didn't call me the next day to give me an ultimatum.

Of course the company didn't care that my father died. No one outside of my team even knew. But my immediate supervisor did. And he did everything he could to help me get through. Because he's a human, not a corporate drone.

However deep or shallow a company's hierarchy may be, at each level there are discreet human beings.

You're right, it only goes back to iOS 8.1, but you do get the devices for all current iPhone, iPad, Apple TV and watchOS.

Does anyone have any information about Ethereum costing?

That is, on an average machine, how long does it take to mine a block, and how much processing/storage do we get with that block? Do we need to mine a complete block before we can get any work done?

My concern is that if I want to build an app with a simple message bus and a small amount of transactional state, each client might need to mine for a prohibitive amount of time before it can actually start participating in the network.
Not a bad start for a technology that should have costed less. People complain that this is way too expensive, but every new thing costs a lot even if it is “just a bunch of sensors with a display”.

A Sneak Peak Over Traditional Nigerian Weddings
It's not about which script file is considered to be "cleaner", aesthetic preferences don't matter here.

The Makefile here almost certainly has some unexpected side-effects when used in a way that the original author didn't intend to. E.g. accidentally removing your PID files (e.g. with git clean) and then you have more than one dev server running.

Make isn't intended for starting/stopping services or doing non-build tasks. It really sucks for that kind of tasks. It might work ok for the handful of workflows the author intended it for, but then spectacularly break down when someone else tries to do something outside of that or when new features get added.

Sometimes I see people use Make for situations where some build platform (e.g. Windows or an embedded toolchain) doesn't have a proper shell at hand. But it's still not a great idea to use Makefiles as a replacement for shell scripts.

There are much better alternatives for doing non-build tasks.

Would she be offered such position if the company didn't "treat their employees like replaceable trash instead of human beings to save a few bucks"?

Performance-based sales in any industry (Internet ads, Yellow pages ads, timeshares, used cars) are known for high pace and high turnover. Companies are quick to hire, but also quick to fire.

If you told the company they were entering a long-term relationship with an employee, and it wouldn't be that easy to get rid of them, the employer would suddenly get very selective, and the candidate would probably have to show years of past sales experience, recommendations from previous employers, go through a few rounds of interviews, etc.
So by your logic it would be OK to fire her because her partner was doing some risky outdoor activity?

Would it still have been OK if he was knocked down just crossing the street? That's also a risk after all.

What about if he had been on a bus involved in an accident?

Thinking of my own career I've had several occasions to call upon compassionate leave - and each time the employers (one a large US firm) handled it in exemplary fashion.
