> It's a global trend, completely orthogonal

Maybe. Maybe not. Developed countries have been largely centralizing power over the last twenty years. It's possible that has effects on the middle class. So Brexit could be a particular reaction to that.
Sixth, as of this morning. Thanks Boris.
With any luck they all flee to Dublin or Edinburgh and we get a huge boost while England self-immolates.

Be it, then. The world shapes itself continuously, and it will always do so.
I see the point, but to be honest, many European countries (my own included) suffered greatly under Nazi Germany - including mass deportations and killings (but maybe sans the starving part), and yet we've forgiven the Germans. Sure, the USSR times were more recent than II WW, but I hope in years people learn to forgive Russia for the soviet times too. Keeping an "eye for an eye" attitude can get you only so far, and it's better to be friendly and work towards ensuring atrocities such like these don't happen again.
Do note that they did not include a generic "off" symbol, they included the IEEE 1621 off symbol - which must be rendered as a circle; while on the other hand the IEEE 1621 on symbol must be rendered in a manner that is often different from just "straight vertical line" in particular regarding the corners of that line.

Off the top of your head, what do you think the odds of this turning into a United Ireland would be?

Surely both sides of the border would rather unify than go along with this madness? Or am I dreaming?
UK benefits mostly from the financial industry afaik. Does anyone really think that this sector will stay 100% in this situation? Bankers are already planning the migration to Frankfurt. This might as well lead to a spiral. We'll see.

And yes, France is now a bigger economy than britain, and it's just been a few hours now.
> I read this post coming from a German, since you promoted Frankfurt and Berlin.

Probably right.

> International companies won't be moving to ireland/continent. The UK at one point wasn't as integrated and was doing quite well. It will do again.

Yes, but back then the EU was a lot less strong than it is today, even without the UK as a part of it.

> The financial industry will not leave London. It's not going to happen. There are many reasons why. Keep dreaming.

250 Billion worth of capital has already fled judging by the drop of the pound, and more is likely to follow. Yes, the financial hub of Europe will shift its COG to Frankfurt. That's something that a re-entry in the EU of England at a later date will not be able to recover.

> London is the best startup in Europe currently.

I assume you left out 'centre' or 'hub', and it was so until today. But if I were starting a start-up I'd definitely think twice now about whether or not to do this in the UK, and London specifically.

> ure the EU can be hard as possible, but then so can the UK. There are many EU countries which export to the UK. It's not just a one way thing.

The relative sizes of the parties dictate the likely outcome of such negotiations. Already there are some pretty clear lines drawn and those will only become more stark in time. This was an 'own goal' if there ever was one.

> The US said the UK is not that important? Says Obama because his dad is from Kenya hates the UK. But in reality it actually is. Germany, Spain, all other countries of EU are not as important as the UK.

This is mis-informed. The UK is important as a country within the EU. Once the UK leaves (and especially if the UK then breaks up even further) it is no longer that important a country.

> Scotland will most likely want to exit. They are 4 million people after all. But when they do exit. All the British companies currently there, will leave to go to London. They'll join as another country like Estonia or worse off. I don't know if Europe will have them lol.

I'm not sure if 'lol' is something that you'd want to use about anything today. And Scotland is definitely a viable country and would most likely be very welcome in the EU.

And all the British companies there might actually see Scotland as the backdoor to remain in the EU, and I would not be surprised if they more than anything else would push to achieve this.

> N. Ireland won't exit. They are deeply patriotic people and see themselves as British.

That one is a toss-up, but not hugely important for the EU, though it would be hugely important to the UK, if they wish to keep that 'U'.

In other words: the UK has made itself a bit player overnight and chances are that only England will remain at the end of all this, with a substantially reduced economy and a very tiny market to sell into. It will hurt all those who voted 'exit' the hardest, and it will be studied for decades to come as an example of how an electorate can be manipulated to vote against its own interests.

> International companies won't be moving to ireland/continent.

Probably true, but they will certainly strengthen their position on the mainland.

> The financial industry will not leave London.

Also true. The reasons mostly being lack of regulation and corruption :P

> The British economy will not collapse.

True. (I hope.)

> The US said the UK is not that important? Says Obama because his dad is from Kenya hates the UK.

WTF

> Germany, Spain, all other countries of EU are not as important as the UK.

Germany has a higher GDP than the UK. Never mind the combined GDP of some of the bigger EU member states. I'm not sure why you think the UK is that important.

> Scotland will most likely want to exit.

Yup.

> N. Ireland won't exit.

No idea, but it sounds reasonable.
I think the former is a fairly accurate description of his position. I remember as a teenager reading his articles from Brussels and the slow slide into the ever more ridiculous facets of the political sphere there, and his frustration with a lot of what he saw.

Thinking in 2012 that the EU is marginally better than the alternative is not exactly incongruous with changing your mind - especially given the past 4 years of the Euro project?

Most importantly, prior to Cameron "renegotiating", Boris took a position of not saying out until he saw the final deal. Again, this is not unreasonable. He was not an Outer - just waiting to see whether Cameron would deliver what he promised (and he didn't).

I have seen people try to spin Boris as just an opportunist but I'm not sold. His ~non fiction~ book about Churchill is not something I'm taking as a primary source on his views...
Given the tendency of clustering of grades there is no scale which cannot be compressed. A1, A2, A3 could become A.000001, A.000002... and thus still mean nothing useful.
It's not exactly the same as buying a lawn mower from a neighbor. Even states that don't perform a background check still require the sale to be made through a licensed dealer, with a transfer of ownership recorded. Given you can't know what the person will do with the gun (or who they might transfer it to, or get it stolen by), you'd be stupid to not perform an official transfer of ownership on a personal sale.

Will requiring background checks on all gun sales actually reduce the number of guns sold to bad people? Most of these states that don't have background-check requirements for private sales do have laws that make it illegal to sell a gun to anyone who is not legally able to possess one. So these sales are already illegal. Is making them "extra special illegal" going to make a difference?

I'm not actually opposed to universal background checks. I'm just not sure it will have a big impact on overall violent crime. I'm definitely not convinced it will have any impact on mass shootings. Mass shootings are just an incredibly different beast than most other violent crime. I'd say it has more in common with rape than with murder or assault, because they both come from deeply narcissistic world-views. What are we doing about the growing narcissism problem in the world?
> The british economy will collapse completely

It won't but it will shrink significantly.

> even when we sacrifice a generation of UK citizens for our benefit.

Is the kind of language that has no place here or in any other discussion.

Keep in mind that a good portion of the UK citizens voted 'remain' and that we do not do any sacrificing at all, since that includes me.

Irish Republic. 5 million people. Once UK finally leaves the EU Ireland will be the largest state in the EU where the majority language is English. To help you find it :) Ireland is located in 26 out of 32 of the counties in that island to the west of Great Britain. ;-)

iOwnIt a quick intro
It will have a direct, negative affect on the economy in general and the service sector in particular for the next 5-7 years. Anyone in an occupation affected by international trade (not just with the EU but also where the UK was used as a conduit to the EU) will be affected. As well as students, farmers, public sector workers, pensioners. Amongst others.

It has had an immediate effect on me and my co-workers (been working since 4am). It is entirely possibel my job will move to continental Europe some time over the next few years (I may or may not go with it).

It is also entirely possible that it will cause a second Scottish referendum and possibly a Northern Irish one too. My current plan is to agitate for London to secede from the UK. Not sure that'll work though.
Can the United Kingdom government legally disregard a vote for Brexit?

I can see Farage in the cabinet within the next year - maybe he will fold up UKIP as its job is done and join the right wing of the conservatives.
I don't think I have enough context to understand this article.

What exactly does "response time" measure, here? The diagram of the system makes it look like this program is essentially just a scan over a data stream, so each iteration should be minimally computationally intensive--certainly not in the tens of milliseconds.

Is this counting time to query the left-hand-side? Or is it time from receiving a message from the LHS to forwarding it rightward?

I don't know what a "HTTP log drain front-end" is: is this software an HTTP client, or an HTTP server? If making HTTP requests across some network is costing you up to 10ms, what network is that, and why not simply run this code on the host that generates the data you're currently sending over HTTP?
Adjacent EU nations do have a lot in common, but the differences add up across the continent.
Why do most Brits still assume the UK is a large market compared to the rest of the EU? The UK is no longer the empire it used to be, it is weak on it's own. The UK GDP is about ~$2.5 trillion, the EU GDP (sans UK) is ~$12 trillion. The UK economy is puny compared to the mainland Europe. I very much agree that a good trade deal would be beneficial for both sides, at this point the EU is under strong pressure to make an example out of the UK secessionist tendencies and the power is squarely on the European side.
I couldn't agree more with most of your points but I think that pass/fail isn't the right approach.

Taking an aggressive schedule in order to get your "I spent four years doing what I was told" paper and GTFO ASAP hurts your grades

Working a job hurts your grades

Extracurricular hurt your grades.

What I see is a simple duty cyle problem. Students have a finite productive capacity (not sleeping isn't a semester-term solution). If they take a schedule that requires more than a certain % duty cyle then they take a GPA hit. If you could account for the amount of productivity required by a class you can take duty cycle into account when calculating GPA. For example, 120 credits in 4yr is a lot easier than 120 credits in 3yr. Five 1xx or 2xx gen-eds in one semester is a ton easier than four 3xx or 4xx classes in a STEM discipline. Having some way to account for the extra effort required to run wide open for a semester or run close to wide open for 3yr would go a long way.

People playing the game (college) on easy mode (BA in business, no job, is a member of a frat with a really good test bank his major, etc) get the same GPA as people playing on hard mode (engineering degree with minor in something else, academic club involvement, works a job on the side, etc) and there's no way to tell them apart when it's all said and done.

If there was a way to score classes (and professors) based on typical grades then profs could grade how they want and students could take what they want and not be punished. You could do something like track the average grade for a class/prof combination and track average grades for students. You could eliminate the effect of one prof who teaches one of many sections of one required class as well as the effect of a bunch or really good/bad students enrolling in a class on one particular semester. You could also eliminate the effect of taking a ton of really hard classes or unknowingly enrolling in a section taught by a really tough prof.

Basically if you applied dynamic curves to classes at the university level then you can account for easy/hard classes, profs and schedules. There's got to be some catch but I can't think of one that couldn't be worked around with effort since it doesn't have to be perfect, just better than nothing. You don't need to make getting bad grades in four hard classes have an equivalent GPA to getting good grades in four easy classes, just making some way to partially account for the difference would help. Obviously this wouldn't be in the financial interest of colleges but that's a different issue.
The neoliberals bash Keynes saying he advocates busy work to stimulate the ecomony, yes these guys are advocating artificial market inefficiency to stimulate the economy.
> if the EU comes back with a substantial offer of change including a significant compromise on free movement

That's not going to happen - not because of the "gooodbye" rhetoric, but rather because freedom of movement has been embodied as one of the core principles of the EU. Free movement of goods and people are inseparable. This is even laid down in the bilateral agreements with Switzerland and Norway. The Swiss just tested the waters with the latest referendum on curbing EU-immigration but they haven't followed through. The EU has drawn a line in the sand here and I seriously don't expect them to concede this point.
I'm just back from Sweden - Gothenburg or Stockholm are starting to look pretty attractive if things go horribly wrong in the UK.
The EU is nowehere near what its declaration stated. aka there are fundamental problems in this union which the EU is trying to hide under the carpet but they can not be hidden.

What I find surprising is that it is the British who first decide to act about them instead of the southerns.
Chicago and Illinois are terrible examples. Their collapse is due purely to graft and deals between insiders, and there has never been a change in whim. Financial decisions were made by unaccountable appointees for the benefit of their friends and relatives.

I would refer to these as "services" and "libraries"; referring to either as an "API" is conflating a tool with its interface.

Yeah. No idea why he said that. Also, why does he think "we" are sacrificing anything? Last time I checked "we" didn't get a vote on this one.
> Every voter is required to write a test on the matter being voted on

Meaning less people would show up to vote due to the time/effort.
Google's engineering HQ is in Switzerland, which isn't in the EU and also recently had a referendum to suspend freedom of (EU) movement.
Nothing wrong with looking at nature and trying to get inspiration from it (e.g. neural nets) but ever since we realized that flight was easier to implement with chemical combustion than by flapping wings, we know that just because something works in nature doesn't mean it will be easy to replicate for human use.
It's also disheartening to see how authoritarian supposedly free market countries are becoming, one's that have never been under the control of authoritarian communism.
could anyone elaborate why exactly the referendum was mostly a vote on migration? I myself think that view (which is the basis of the article) is too limited
At a guess because during the referendum for Scottish independence from the UK the line was 'stay because otherwise you'll not be in the EU anymore'. So for the Scots to find themselves out of the EU now by force is probably not what they wanted to wake up to.
As a expat Spaniard living in Germany, I can tell you, we have much more in common as one would intuitively think.

I would go to the extend to say, I am culturally much closer to the Germans, than to other American nations, even if we share the language, Spanish.
I wonder though, where christianity would be without Constantine.

"The misspelling of referrer originated in the original proposal by computer scientist Phillip Hallam-Baker to incorporate the field into the HTTP specification.[3] The misspelling was set in stone by the time of its incorporation into the Request for Comments standards document RFC 1945; document co-author Roy Fielding has remarked that neither "referrer" nor the misspelling "referer" were recognized by the standard Unix spell checker of the period.[4] "Referer" has since become a widely used spelling in the industry when discussing HTTP referrers; usage of the misspelling is not universal, though, as the correct spelling "referrer" is used in some web specifications such as the Document Object Model."

I know about that, which sorta validates the gp post. This isn't a EU thing but UK-France thing which shouldn't matter if the UK is or is not in the EU and France threaten to cancel the agreement if the Leave campaign wins.
But it's a common sentiment across the EU.

There are a lot of people across the EU who are essentially totalitarian in nature. They believe remaking Europe into a new EU country is civilisation itself, and relish the prospect of a trade war with the UK which they are convinced they will win.
As an American what shocks me is the accusations of racism, the anger, and the outright attacks on the British. Talk about fair-weather friends.
I may be getting this wrong, but I was under the impression that microservices are about having many small services as in a service bus architecture. I don't know how the author came to believe it's about short response times.

EDIT: Reading the responses, I should clarify: The question is if a microservice needs to be be fast to respond to be considered a microservice, or if both types are called micro based solely on the fact that they are limited-purpose small services, together building a greater construct. I would say kinda-synchronous fast responding services are just as micro as very-asynchronous slow responding but still limited API services are.
It's sad it took that long to figure out that good customer service actually pays for itself. I think it would be cool to have ticker app for on demand services.
Years ago, I worked on two projects in two diff companies, and both mandated stored procs be used as a default data access method. In one case, sprocs were the only thing allowed - your credentials had no access to anything except whatever stored procs the DBA had granted you.

In both situations, the stored procedures were written by the DBA, and the DBA only. And they simply added them to the databases you needed, and then granted access. In one case, you did have 'permission' to write ad-hoc SQL, but it all had to be reviewed by the DBA.

And that was the big crux of the problem - the DBA. In both cases, they simply wrote sprocs and applied them to the databases. That was it. No version control, no testing, no application review, no sitting in on regular project meetings to understand the full problem. You'd have to describe to them what needed to be done, and they'd draft up something, put it on the server, and give you access.

So yes, these were not problems inherent to stored procedures. They were definitely a cultural problem. But those have been my exposures to "sprocs first" thinking (or "sprocs only" thinking). On most of my other projects, I use an ORM with schema definitions that are versioned, that are used to generate tables/indexes/migrations/etc, and then some queries are done by hand (usually complex reporting queries), and in some cases, stored procedures are used - maybe 90-95% queries run are ORM-generated, 3-5% are by-hand, and occasionally sprocs on an as-needed basis (slight perf boost, or logic reusable by multiple external applications are the two most common reasons).

And when I write the sprocs, they get version controlled and added to a migration process so they can be recreated in the build process as needed. By far the biggest issue I see with sprocs not being in version control is that it's DBAs writing/forcing the sprocs, and they're "too busy" for version control (or don't have the same tools, or don't understand it, or whatever other excuse is given on any day).

As a citizen of another EU country, it pains me to she what's happening, some people just want to blame all their problems to a common "enemy" and at that point, demagogues use that for their own gain, I've seen it and keep seeing it on my country in a grand scale.

My hope is that somehow a good deal between UK & EU comes off that which the least amount of change, but I'm probably wishfully thinking.
