It sounds like the author didn't have experience with larger systems - or maybe did, but my experience contradicts this.

Let's say you have everything you can in the containers. Now you want to deploy test and production environments. How do containers know which environment they're running in? Or specifically, things like what's the database user/password, what queue to connect to, where to find local endpoint for service X?

That still needs to live outside of containers. And at some point etcd and similar solutions have a problem of "what if I don't want to share all the data with all the infrastructure all the time"? Well... you can solve that with a config management service. Edit: just noticed etcd actually gained ACL last year - good for them. But how do you configure/deploy etcd in the first place?

Indeed.

The top emigration destinations for British people are nit in the EU - the US, China and Australia.
This is actually quite interesting. I knew there was a parliamentary system, but I didn't know the intricacies.

So each party, as long as it holds the majority, can do whatever it likes to pick a PM?

For those of you outside the UK, please realise that this was not a xenophobic vote. Just because there were racist scum in the crowd voting brexit, doesn't mean all brexit supporters are likewise.

There are many reasons why people voted to leave but the journalism covering this seemed to only be able to cover the sensationalist parts of the debate in the most childish fashion. This needed a serious discussion amongst adults, with a lot of thought and we didn't get it.

So if it wasn't some racist backlash to immigration, then what was it? While I can't speak for all, here is a piece that explains many of the issues that people actually have with Europe, delivered in the serious manner that I wish more of the debate had been.

My gut feeling is that OOA/D/P will best be remembered as a revolution in analysis, not programming. As a programming concept it's a mixed bag. As an analysis tool I don't think it has an equal.

I didn't realize it took so long for microfilm to catch on in the US.

I knew about Watson Davis was a big US proponent of microfilm in the 1930s:

> "[Microfilm] will supplement other forms of publication and make accessible material of all sorts that can not now be printed because of economic factors. It will make available out-of-print and rare books. It is adapted to the publication of photographs and other illustrations.... In this way the document is perpetually 'in print' but no extensive, space-consuming stocks need be stored, only the document itself and the microfilm negative from which positives are made for distribution."

But that was over a decade after Otlet and Goldschmidt's demonstration.

In the US, I've seen price lists from the mid-1900s. It was cheaper by a factor of two to get a copy from microfilm than from paper.

There was also a question of it printing only on microfilm was a "publication", for purposes of scientific priority and patent priority.
Yep. The PM is actually appointed by the Queen. But they have to demonstrate that they have enough support in parliament to form a working government. In practice this means that whatever party holds the majority gets to pick the PM. If there is no party with an overall majority (as in 2010) then two or more parties have to reach a coalition agreement.
How is it the greatest achievement? There are many other civilizations.
They don't. Python's "unicodedata" module updates with the minor version of Python.

This is good, actually, because the meaning of a string operation should be consistent when run on the same version of Python.

(If only this applied to the "default encoding". The default encoding should be UTF-8, not whatever you get by asking the user's likely-misconfigured locale. As it is, you can't rely on the default encoding if you want your code to work consistently.)

But why on earth would you have bothered applying for citizenship since being an EU citizen already gives you the same rights. I think if people had actually thought ahead of time that brexit would win you would have seen a huge uptake in citizenship applications.
It's perfectly fine. Just go through the naturalization process that is available to you, swear allegiance to the Queen and you can have your say in the country's future.

Being a citizen is more than being a tax payer or generating wealth.
You can try, but I do not think it is in the interest of the EU to let this drag for years, so we should force the UK to get out asap.

Your interests and the EU's interests are now very loosely alligned, and in this particular matter probably in contradiction.
Nothing to do with that. He threw out the referendum promise in order to secure power, and then failed to get Europe to agree to the headline changes which would easily have secured the vote in his "renegotiation".

"Austerity" is not to blame for this. You can argue EU recalcitrance played a part, as did labour party weakness, but it's on him. His legacy will be this vote, this loss, and his failure to see through the consequences of his actions.
One of two, I believe. The other being Hungarian.
> That's what a democracy is all about, isn't it?

I recently read a point which made a lot of sense to me: that regular, multi-party elections are much less winner-takes-all than referendums. Even if they aren't run under proportional systems, a government can be thrown out and replaced, its policies changed, so there's always a chance for a do-over, it's always worth waiting rather than throwing a fist. A referendum, while it technically can be re-run, tends to burn out the public's willingness to listen, while decisively fixing a choice that can no longer be changed. So it's much more divisive and traumatic.

So there's democracy and democracy, basically. And they aren't the same.
This is partly true but it is also a question of price. German does not pay her engineers and can just undercut competitors. Also, what do they get in exchange? Lehman certificates and Greek government bonds.

Germany has always exported a lot but also imported a lot. The crazy export started just in the 90ies. It has been very unhealthy.
No, that would not make sense at all. Russia is run by an entirely different play-book than the rest of the EU.

I can't believe Nigel Farage and a lot of pro Brexit campaigners have been calling it UK's "Independence day". Apart from being a very bad (purposeful?) analogy, it's seems to me pretty disrespectful to their own and to US history. I'm not from USA (or UK) but would love to hear how US and UK people feel about it?
Grades are both a poor pedagogical tool and a poor measuring stick. They’re too coarse, too removed from the immediate learning feedback loop, too inconsistent from course to course, and too ambiguous in meaning (should you get the best grade for working hardest? for understanding the material best? for the best writing or mathematical reasoning skills?). At best, they provide a tremendous distraction for everyone; at worst, they convince some students who are performing well they can slack off, make students at the bottom give up hope and stop trying, cause incredible anxiety for students in the middle, and also create huge headaches and heartbreaks for instructors. Simultaneously, they give parents the misleading impression they know what is happening at school, and thereby discourage parents from getting more directly involved in their children’s education.

The main reason grades were adopted and persist is that they’re relatively easy to apply, aren’t that complicated to reason about heuristically (even if this is often misleading), and they scale across an institution / between institutions.

In my opinion, grades should be entirely abolished for students up through middle school, and replaced with written reports from the instructor. They aren’t really appropriate later, either, but high school grades seem to be one of the only available tools for guiding the college admissions process and I don’t presently have any better equally scalable idea. Colleges should of course do whatever they want, after all, the students are adults at that point.

Then again, I feel rather the same way about institutional schooling in general.
Why not? As an Irish citizen living in the Uk I get to vote in British elections and frankly would find it annoying if I couldn't. Note that I can't vote in Irish elections, but British people resident in Ireland can.
Well, it's not like we are leaving anything that gives us any real benefit. Like, we might have had more access to EU markets as we are part of a constitutional monarchy, but that's not valid any more.

At least I have the pleasure of knowing that Brits have to through all the border rules and lack of freedom of movement now. No more "pop over to Paris" for the weekend, or any other part of Europe!
All political lives, unless they are cut off in midstream at a happy juncture, end in failure, because that is the nature of politics and of human affairs.

Enoch Powell
Wow why would them want to emigrate to China?
Just look at how they talk. Voting is a contagion that might "spread" to other countries, as if it was the bubonic plague. The EU has constantly increased its power. The goal of the people who actually run it is federalism. They hate the idea of countries picking and choosing integration from a menu, they are literally dead-set against the idea.

And why would you insist on a deal being all or nothing, bad with the good? Because you know that's the only way to get the bad ideas through. Same reason Congress attaches riders to bills they know will be strongly supported, when those same riders got rejected earlier.
I love the US, but only as a tourist destination. There is no policy in the US that I can think of that I prefer over the way things are organized in my own country. I don't care if I pay 60% taxes. I'm well off, as well as my temporarily unemployed neighbours, there are no beggars in the streets, the roads are paved nicely and I can visit a doctor without him bankrupting me.
I suppose the problem is that many (most?) people use stored procedures without source control?

Stored procedures are often created and modified manually, directly in place, maybe by some external team/consultant, with total opacity about what SPs exist on which databases and with what code, when they changed etc.

There is of course no need for things to be this way.
Voting is a privilege of being a citizen.

At least you get access to a bunch of benefits thanks to the UK (used to) being part of EU. I'm a non EU citizen working in the UK and I don't get any of that if I lose my job. I don't have any problem with not being able to vote.

Although funny enough, my spouse is Australian, and being a commonwealth citizen, he can vote here

In a closed worldview critque acceptance is not even possible anymore. Anything brought up is not evaluated but instantly deflected. There is no - "Lets measure this" and compare (Lets call it the free market approach to ideas ;) just offense and defense. Thanks for proving the Pa-OP right.
Meanwhile everywhere else they learn English and most (with the exception of the French) are pretty good at it

But yeah, if they can't be bothered to learn another language...
No it's not. As an Irish citizen resident in the Uk I can vote in Uk elections but not Irish ones.

Good luck selling software across the EU if you live there. Check out the new VAT rules the EU imposed. It's less paperwork to sell to everywhere but the EU, which is madness.
You've been very unlucky in that the referendum came before you could become a citizen, but I do believe it is right that the poll was restricted to citizens and certain classes of other permanent residents[0].

They're related by fear. Fear of being swamped by immigrants. Fear of terrorists. Fear of losing their country's identity. The UK, like Switzerland, adopted freedom of movement provisions to access the common market despite the UK not being in Schengen. The Swiss suspended negotiations on their new controls specifically to see the outcome of the UK referendum.
> EU has got to deliver

I think this is the most important misconception GB always had about the EU. It's a union which means, having a well tempered partnership should be the goal - not cherry-picking like the UK often did.

Or, to resemble a famous quote: Ask not, what the EU can do for you - ask what you can do for the EU!
i don't get this ether. Isn't hosting outside of the EU generally always a privacy benefit?

Edit:// I clearly did exclude the US here.
"Unfortunately, whatever the motives, in democracies decisions are respected."

Do you actually lament the fact that democracies respect the choice of their peoples?
Christianity is the foundation of the common european identity. Even today, its being used to contrast "us" against "them" (muslim immigrants).
"First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win."
True free market approach would be to have two variants of running buisnesses run against one another.
Agreed.

As an aside, for me this is a sterling example of the dangers of "direct democracy", that many see as the solution of all evils that plague the political process.

The majority of UK lawmakers (democratically elected by the same people that voted the referendum) were in favor of staying in the Union: even a large number with conservative and traditionalist background (including the PM).

Yet the future of the UK (and EU) was decided by people (on both sides) that cannot possibly have an idea of what the implications of this decision will be, and that can be easily swayed my media and influenced by emotions.

Representative democracy has its faults and inefficiencies, but if the alternative is to have gut-reaction votes and petty nationalism decide the future of a country, count me out.
People vote for Farage because the only difference between MEPs is how much of a symbolic protest against the Commission they will make. There's no other difference: it's not like an MEP can introduce a bill to change freedom of movement or reduce the EU's budget.

So the UK sends Farage. He achieves nothing. Nobody cares, because nobody expected him to achieve anything anyway. No MEP could.
Why the hell should commonwealth citizens get a vote and not EU citizens?
> "Austerity" is not to blame for this.

Austerity would be to blame for this - it contributed to people being more anti-immigrant, though indirectly.

Him calling the referendum, the outcome - are related to his parties policies without isolation.
The experiences of the second world war definitely played a role as something that should be avoided at all costs and put up infrastructure and friendship against, so it wasn't really without a war.
> And, crucially, it already had a shared cultural identity, shared language

Isn't the US a conglomerate of former English, French and Spanish colonies?
Germany has benefited from being able to be a swing voter in the council votes due to QMV. With the UK gone it will now have to nail its colours to the mast if it wishes to resist significantly more redistributive and socialist policies supported by the southern countries, instead of acting as a decider knowing what the UK will do. This could change the politics in Germany in unpredictable ways.
Russia is in Europe.
That's because you're equating freedom movement with the Schengen area.

Schengen agreement mandates no border check, but the UK is not part of it, so of course they can have border check
I'd be up for House of Lords reform as well, but let's let the dust settle on Brexit first.
Germany has a lot of might and will lean on the others but it remains to be seen how much effect that has, I have my doubts.
> There is definitely still a use case for system level changes and patching that are best served by config management.

This is only true for bare-metal deployments where virtualization is not an option, which isn't too common these days. When you have virtualization, deployments can and should be viewed as immutable, which gets rid of the need for any of the config management tooling.

If you want to make a system-level change, you update the script that builds the image, CI builds a new copy of the image and you deploy a new, immutable version of your infrastructure. Not having immutable infrastructure components is just opting into a world of pain that's completely unnecessary these days.
"Great Britain" is the name of the island, there's no reason for it to change. It is opposed to "lesser Britain", the Brittany part of France.

Celtic languages, Estonian is another Fenno-Ugric one, Sami, there are lots.
Sure, of course... But simply having the possibilities is nice...

Anyway for youngish people, at least in my friend circle, is pretty common.

Yesterday I was having dinner with an English friend, two weeks ago I spend a week in Berlin, pretty much every year we have a family trip somewhere in Europe.

Sure, I am young, with a lot of energy and money are not a huge concern right now; but most of my friends are in my same condition.

And actually I am a pretty cheap folk and I don't spend much money...
You must be a really old chap.
> Would be insane if Scotland and Northern Ireland now want to leave the UK.

One of the larger vote swingers for Scotland staying part of the UK was that they would have had to renegotiate their membership with the EU from a weak position. Scotland overwhelmingly voted remain in the EU referendum last night, so arguably the SNP now have a valid mandate to hold another Scottish referendum on membership of the UK.

It's like they had a housemate they didn't really like, but who took them to all of the cool parties. Now they won't even get to go to the parties anymore, and I don't blame them for wanting to move out.

Arguably London is larger both in population and economy than Scotland and Wales combined, and also overwhelmingly voted remain. If there is a referendum on whether London should leave England, I know which way I'm voting..

“Brexit” Hangover: The Morning After a “Leave” Vote Explained – Lawfare
Consumers are best to stick to commodity devices.
I applied for citizenship already once but since I couldn’t prove I was in the country the entire time during my first year since my employment was a bit random at the time I got rejected.

My only option is to wait another year so in can prove it even though if they really wanted they could probably check their own records to see my immigration activity.

It's quite difficult to get citizenship I know someone who got a 10 page letter citing a lot of random legal clauses for why she got rejected.

Hell it looked almost like they were trying too hard and felt borderline racist to me but I could be imagining things.
I have a friend that is buying up containers in the UK for peanuts and putting them on a piece of spare land as self-storage units.
> Without considering the result of the referendum, do you know of any other country that would allow visiting citizens from another country to vote on something so serious?

Yes, UK European Union Referendum, 2016. Resident Irish and Commonwealth citizens were allowed to vote.

Scotland Independence Referendum 2014. Resident EU citizens also were allowed to vote.
Perhaps. If they did, so be it.

But the arguments at the time of the referendum didn't get stronger. The EU would require Scotland to join the Euro, join Schengen (means a border wall), and the primary argument for an independent Scotland was "we'll take all the oil money for ourselves". But now oil is cheap thanks to US fracking and the North Sea oil industry is going bust.

I think the future probably has more devolution in it. Which is fine.
Actually Finno-urgic languages include Finnish and Hungarian; but also include others like Estonian, and many others besides in Russia, northern Norway, Sweden, etc.
