I applaud the elaboration of containers as isolated processes, however, I abhor the anthropromorphization of the Kernel/CPU in this article as it tends to distract from what the machine is actually doing, and makes a value judgement with regards to how container technology does it's thing relative to how things just work.

Computers compute. The computer doesn't care whether a process is happening in a container or just as a system process. The CPU still has to context switch, it still has to flush and reinitialize memory, and it still incurs all of the same complexity that comes from being a multi-user OS when using containers vs. not using containers. If nothing else, there is actually MORE computation required with containers due to not being able to use more streamlined IPC mechanisms between containerized processes which would be usable in a non-containerized implementation.

Containers fulfill a HUMAN use case. "I want to scale a bunch of copies of software environment blah on hardware Y." The computer continues to do what it is told without a care in the world.

What you describe were by far my favorite kind of jobs on Upwork. People who have a idea what they are doing but stuck with individual questions.

Upwork is by far not optimal but you can easily find talent for quick questions there.
You bring a valid point.

But then, What stops SaaS providers from Hosting in their own environment?

With Modern day Containerization technologies and orchestration layers, I believe it is not as difficult as it used to be - to be infra agnostic. A lot of large Enterprises are now - investing in their private cloud (AWS, Azure etc.)

IMHO, it is much beyond the Hosting part (which is mostly applicable during the installation stages).

There are questions about,
- Accountability in case of failures.
- Continuous Support and Customizations
- Is there a Dedicated Support team etc.

Investors will sometimes agree to write down their equity to ~zero, if it's obvious that bankruptcy would yield the same result with more legal fees.

In this case, the previous investor was also the lender. So nothing above explains how they could end up with "nothing", unless that's counting only the equity and ignoring the debt.
Wow, I just read about the latest gravitational wave and I see that once again they detected it by deviating from the procedure used to generate the background model:

>"Although such times are in general not included
in searches, it was determined that LHO strain
data were una ffected by the procedure at frequencies
above 30 Hz, and may thus be used to identify a GW
source and measure its properties."
https://www.ligo.org/detections/GW170608/paper/GW170608_subm...

I'm not saying they aren't seeing anything, but the false alarm rate calculations are meaningless unless they process the data the exact same way for background. They keep making these special exceptions every time.

EDIT:

Mostly just saving this for myself...

Here it is for the 5th detection:

>"Single-detector gravitational-wave triggers had never been disseminated before in low latency. Given the temporal coincidence with the Fermi-GBM GRB, however, a GCN Circular was issued at 13:21:42 UTC (LIGO Scientific Collaboration & Virgo Collaboration et al. 2017a) reporting that a highly significant candidate event consistent with a BNS coalescence was associated with the time of the GRB."

http://iopscience.iop.org/article/10.3847/2041-8213/aa91c9

4th detection:

This one looks clean (but for the 1st detection the questionable info was not included in the main paper).

https://www.ligo.org/detections/GW170814/paper/GW170814-PRLp...

2nd detection:

>"Since GW150914 had already been confirmed as a real gravitational-wave
signal [4], it was removed from the data when estimating the noise background."

There is usually a pattern used by clickbait articles, and psuedoscientific ones tend to use unusual words(e.g. quantum, toxin, etc.) far more regularly. Also the entire site tends to be bad, so google could index a list of poor quality news sites. Isn't that a little bit their job for ranking sites?
Oh no, I didn't mean to suggest these folks are or are not actually "good" managers, just that what they've all got here is congruent with my current understanding of what the literature tells us a "good" manager says and does.

I'm not trying to say any of it is accurate either, just pointing out the consistency being likely due to a shared set of sources rather than copying one another outright.
And if there is any gene the causes babies to cry when they are in an exposed situation, preventing it from being snatched by a predator or bit by a nasty bug, it too would propagate. Not sure if you were making a prediction though.

Interesting. What did they do to fuck it up?
There is an asymptotic speedup available for this problem, to the extent that there are lots of prefixes in the table: a finite state automaton representing the regular expression ^(prefix1|prefix2|prefix3|...) can be matched against a length N string in O(N) time, regardless of how many prefixes are in the regex. This approach is also behind the Aho-Corasick algorithm, which I think finds all occurrences of the strings but could be easily modified to find only prefixes.

I don't know if, in practice, the constant factor speedup in the article would beat out this asymptotic advantage for the table sizes that matter to the author. But the article doesn't mention considering and rejecting this approach.
You are right, accountability is one valid point, and large companies typically are used to having people on speed dial, when things break.

But then - aren't there questions about - how really agile they really are?

Large operations with a lot of custom software, and license based models and Time & Material based customization - it is always very hard to get things moving faster.

Also, I feel Large Operations have to hire a lot of people - just to manage what vendors are deploying. Very large operational costs.

I think he would find the philosophy on eternal reoccurrence and determinism helpful. I’m somewhat an atheist and find the two calming around existence & death. I wonder how so by his imagination of Einstein was rooted on his work or the ideology that god doesn’t roll dice.
I lately do realize that to be comfortable with MyDef, one need be versed in three languages -- the language you are writing, MyDef, and Perl. People seem more welcome to the idea of having new language replacing the old rather than a solution of taking advantage of existing tools. I think this is the same barrier of Knuth's literate programming. Despite how I find how much MyDef make life easier, others will not see the same if not ready.

What I am hoping for is conversation. With conversation, I can have the motivation for documentation and others can understand and the barrier may dissolve.
Affirmative action IS institutional racism in that it codifies advantage to one race over another.

One could argue about the intention of affirmative action, but I don’t think one could argue that it’s not racist, using the dictionary’s definition of racism.
> Actually, Lifehacker's one-space purist Nick Douglas pointed out some important caveats to the study's conclusion.

> Most notably, the test subjects read paragraphs in Courier New, a fixed-width font similar to the old typewriters, and rarely used on modern computers.

> Johnson, one of the authors, told Douglas that the fixed-width font was standard for eye-tracking tests, and the benefits of two-spacing should carry over to any modern font.

I'd be annoyed at the overblown headline, the dubious methodology and the completely baseless extrapolation made by the authors, but I'm just embarrassed for everyone involved.
That you're posting one of the most widely used extensions, especially here, as a news, with a title that suggests that it's something hot and new, or at least relatively unknown.

Cargo ships are currently burning the dirtiest fuels available -- so-called bunker fuel. Regulation is finally forcing a degree of cleanup by 2020, limiting sulfer emmissions.

Cargo shipping is ruthlessly cost-competitive, and fuel is currently 50-60% of costs. [1] With the new regulations that percent will increase.

Still it is telling the rotor sail in the example is on a passenger ship (where it has more PR value) not a cargo ship. That says to me the cost savings are really not there yet. Probably even stronger clean shipping rules are required before this kind of thing will be cost effective.

I have been living 6 months in Medellín in the first year. While I love the people, the climate and things being much better organized than elsewhere, culturally I prefer Bogotá by quite a margin.

But the former is probably better to start in, if one wants to live in Colombia or just work from here for a couple of months. The grey, rainy and cold capital takes a bit more time to appreciate :)
Depends on my goal and risk tolerance.
You wouldn't want to be in a conventional tug at all in open ocean conditions, regardless of the tow or no tow at all.

You would need a new kind of tug, more resilient to waves and storms, with crew quarters, room for provisions and all of the life saving gear a normal open ocean ship has. You may as well build a new cargo ship.

A few alternatives:

* Move your site to Github, it is free and you get a domain like your_username.github.io. Works great for static websites.

* With less than $100 per year you can buy a .com domain name from a US registrar and a cheap VPS on DigitalOcean or Linode, chose a VPS from US or some other now European jurisdiction.

* Another free approach, host it on Azure see https://buildazure.com/2016/08/25/free-website-hosting-in-mi... for an example.

Basically you're unleashing a horde of loaded words in an effort to explain why the first loaded word choice was appropriate.

For a significant portion of those with autism, the way their brain works is different than the median human but they are still basically fully functional human beings. My handy dictionary defines abnormal as "deviating from what is normal or usual, typically in a way that is undesirable or worrying." They match the first part of the definition, but the second part is very much open to question. Being different is not necessarily undesirable, nor worrying, nor an affliction, nor an illness.

Since these vesicles resemble viruses, is it possible for them to be a form of organism-to-organism communication? Accidental, or intentional?

Might there be pathogens that MITM vesicles en route? Rip them open and plant another message inside, and send them along?

We need other organisms to synthesize certain vital nutrients (not to mention free oxygen) for us. Does this mean that it is pointless to consider ourselves self-contained entities?

The 'inividualistic' feature of viruses is their genome, which is what gets replicated when they take over a cell, and which is subject to evolution itself, not just an agent in the evolution of 'true' organisms.

I don't think it's heavy language lock in at all.

If I need to do something in Python, I have options like pyrlang[0] and rabbitmq[1].

In fact, parsing in Elixir is not nearly as mature as what is provided in Python. I need to parse emails. Python has `email.parser` which is perfect for my use case. I can easily use Pyrlang to do this. But Elixir is still much better at being an email client (or many email clients). The end result is an email client in Elixir that uses Python to parse the emails.

When I started with Elixir, my goal was to use it as much as possible, but delegate as soon as the task is better handled in another language.

I'm curious what your background and experience is to classify the Autism spectrum as a mental disorder? I believe a better classification would be a developmental disorder - which I personally prefer to state as developmental blocks, which makes the spectrum of symptoms/behaviours and sets of behaviours as symptoms become easier to understand; and depending on when (and perhaps how) the developmental block started, will in part dictate where along natural evolution and brain development they are.

Pharma of course wants to classify it as a mental disorder so then doctors will be allowed to prescribe medications.

I'm curious too what you mean by several dozen dimensions? I wonder if you mean the same thing as I do when I say "set of behaviours?"

And yes, the industrial complex with pharma has learned how to indoctrinate the medical and educational system, and fine-tuned their marketing/advertising. I get sick to my stomach when I go to the US and put TV on, the constant flood of ads for medications that are all fluff information being presented.

This depends on several factors such as:

1. What are the goals of the project?

2. Are there multiple people involved and do you want a formal corporate structure?

3. Does the project generate significant revenue and will there be tax implications?

4. Are you willing to deal with additional paperwork and overhead?

5. Do you want limited liability if you decide want to borrow money?
Developmental disorder is more widely used, and more correct.

Karl Marx and the Falling Rate of Profit
The point is, the most dangerous points in the operation of a vessel are those when more than one vessel is in close proximity to another because it adds the extra problem of "we need to not hit the other guy" onto an already formidable stack of problems to be solved.

This isn't like programming where a little complexity can be handled at a trivial cost. Even if the tugs were say, AI controlled, so that endangering other sailors wasn't an immediate concern, these tugs would still be potential sources of catastrophic damage when fighting inclimate seas due to the size and materials they would have to be made from to actually make any significant difference in getting a fully laden cargo ship from A to B.

Tugs are justifiable on inland waters or near ports because they are generally there to replace the ship they are towing's need or means to manoeuvre, enabling smaller, tighter movements than the ship is capable of under its own power. It also enables a transfer of control from a helmsman who may not know the particulars of a port or waterway at that time, to that of a local who's only job is juggling ships in that port day in and day out.

Think of tugs as Valets. You don't want to deal with the hassle of dealing with one on the open sea, and it is guaranteed one you bring along with you won't know anything useful about where you are going. Best to just let the destination worry about it.

The best approach would be to develop a system that could be relatively quickly integrated into current hulls during a quick refit, or to start designing new hulls with the system from the get go. The physical world doesn't take kindly to hack jobs.

Browsers naturally collapse more than one space in text, so even if the markup contains multiple spaces, only one will be displayed. Whether the conclusion is valid or not, this study and the corresponding article are going to be the cause of a lot of "bike-shedding" and time wasting between web developers and clients.
The true answer, as far as i can tell:

- monospace font: two spaces.

- proportional font: “space” is a lie, let your typesetter figure it out.

LaTeX forces option two: white space between sentences is completely ignored in a paragraph block when the document is rendered. (and thus should be two spaces since most people edit latex in a monospace font).
Instead, the title uses a single em quad Unicode character, U+2003 ( )
