The article touches on this towards the end, but I think the Docker (or container) way would be to create separate containers for each process. I could very well be wrong on this though. I'm still trying to figure out the best way to use containers.

One container would contain the Drupal files along with an Nginx or Apache process.

One container would run PHP (probably PHP-FPM.)

One container would contain MySQL.

This would allow for better scaling options. You could then run multiple containers for PHP processes and have the web server do a round robin between PHP containers. You could do the same for the container which has the Drupal files and put a load balancer in front of them. Any file based caching options would probably be best switched to something like Memcache so that the cached items are in sync.I suppose some content management systems would better accommodate this setup than others.

I'm not sure yet the best way to do development in the above setup. I suppose one way would be to run an SSH server on the Drupal container and then perhaps mount the files you need access to as a drive using SSHFS or something. I haven't played with this yet, but you can also create volumes on the host OS to be shared with the container (I think I got that right.) Perhaps you could share the files that you need access to.

Am I right on this? Does anyone else do things differently? This project moves so fast it's hard to keep up with.

Edit: I also wonder if containers create a performance hit for MySQL. You would also need make backups. Maybe you would be better off running a big DB on its own dedicated server / VPS outside a container?

I would also save all user generated files (for something like Drupal, this would be mostly images) to something like S3.

Looking at the German, I think the intended translation is "fly shit" or "shit of a fly".
Well privacy policy is something people consider to be actually in the hands of politicians, while promises of job security are eyed suspiciously (rightfully). If by perilous states you mean Greece, Italy, Spain - do you really think German voters give a damn?
Modern suspension bridges are started that same exact way.
Don't know how separated the German judiciary is from its government, which seems contradictory on its position, but for Snowden to accept some sort of German judicial protection would be on hell of a gamble. Could be a great solution, but could also result in a one way ticket to the US. At least Germany has a reasonable and comparatively open political and legal system, which doesn't rely on politics and cash in the bank.

On the face of it, if the Germans did go this way, in the way suggested, I think I'd take it. But Im willing to bet nothing is quite that simple, or likely.
The life of Pi
Very funny. That was in 1414 in the Holy Roman Empire (of the German Nation). How is this related to the Federal Republic of Germany in 2013?
There are some short stories by Paolo Bacigalupi[1] set in a dystopian post-oil future where the only fuel is grown from sterile GM crops, any non-GM varieties are killed by various GM pests (introduced by the patent owning companies). Obviously such a world works very differently to our own, with no global movement or trade; everything is hyperlocal, including information flow, and energy storage is done with mechanical springs, not electricity or chemical potential.

At least one story is about someone who reverse engineered the GM/pest resistant crops to be non-sterile again.

10 Nintendo sequels we're still desperately missing
Well, I highly doubt that generational social issues are going to stay confined to Japan, and I would argue that they are already common around the world at large. Here in the West, people ranging from 18 to 30 are seeing higher unemployment and higher debt levels as educational costs rise. A lot of us visiting this site may not see this as unemployment within the IT sector is not as high as other sectors, but many of my friends fit the category of highly educated and unemployed.

A few of my friends have taken to getting 3 part time pink collar jobs to try and make it on their own. They sleep maybe 4 hours each night, a little more on weekends. Some would argue that this problem is related to degrees that are not useful in the job market, but in older generations only 1/3 of the population had attended college... yet those over 60 hold over 3/4 of the USA's wealth.
If that's the case, why go through all this hassle? Simply use IRC with SSL and you have exactly the same level of security. As long as you trust the server, you are fine.
"These protests had no effect."

It's easy to counter mass protests. Either under-report them or co-opt them. If the power structure ignores voters and protests, the only other recourses are apathy or violence, both which don't have good consequences either.

i would guess they're talking about FPGA correlators for the radio signal.

how are they estimating distance? the article says "the furthest one that we detected was 11 billion light years away" which is an odd statement to make about a signal from an unknown process, unless, say it was monchromatic (and of known rest-frame frequency, which likely implies some physical process, and redshifted).

It would almost be too comical if cryptocat was actually sponsored (developed)? in proxy by some secret service. In general, people that use cryptocat are probably using it to discuss more intellectual thoughts, such thoughts might be useful to record and analyze. It is interesting that as the relative adoption of the service grew, the encryption mechanism became weaker..

I have to agree with you. It seems the sickness in the UK at least is that everyone complains that it's not a democracy, but very few people actively engage in it. I don't know anyone other then myself who'd ever written to an MP to ask a question, challenge an idea or simply register their concerns.

You can't say they don't listen if you don't try to talk to them.

That's not to say everything is hunky dory. But it's far from too late for people to pull their socks up and take on the responsibility of forcing their elected representatives to act on their behalf.

Works great, perfectly determined which people in my workplace are programmers and which are biologists (by giving them a different color).

Could one subvert the graph building with the following? Construct an email address A1 that will forward emails to you from person B. Likewise, you communicate with B through their B1. After a period of time (or n messages), switch the pass through entity to a different email address A2 and make a rule on the mail server to bounce the emails from B if they try to reach you at A1. Keep using A1 with someone else.

If it was the same family or if they shared a few genetic markers that distinguished them from other peoples in the area... then you could say the same people had lived at ________ area.

If someone will not submit to the judgement of the law then it's permissible and indeed often necessary to kill them. But if someone gives themselves up or is captured then they should not be killed. In the same way soldiers in a war have a right to surrender, and those who surrender should not be killed - but it's permissible to kill those who don't.

I agree in general, but you are painting with too broad strokes here:

> No part of cryptography has anything to do with the code.

There have been successful attacks against cryptography based on attacking the implementation. For example if two code paths take different time to execute, it is possible that this leaks information.

This is another reason why you should use a well honed library implementation of cryptography, for example OpenSSL.

This does of course not imply that the crypto–the maths of it–is broken. One just needs to be aware that it is not, in fact, sufficient to implement the maths correctly.

his extremely elderly mother (we're talking older than dirt here; I wouldn't be surprised if she was older than 80).

I found your choice of terms interesting :)

Most people in their 80s that I know seem to be doing fine, are physically and intellectually active, and I wouldn't describe them as "older than dirt" - unless you're talking about somewhat young dirt, here ;).

May I ask how old you are? I am genuinely curious, as I can picture myself thinking of an 80 year-old as "extremely old" when I was in my early twenties, but not nowadays (I'm 35)

No inconsistency whatsoever - the discussion is about executions as a penalty in a judicial context.

Police, militaries and individuals should all have the right to employ potentially deadly force if required and justified within a legal context.
Do you ever exercise? Or maybe more pertinently, do you have any anxiety problems?

I do on both counts, and what you're saying is laughable. It would be like telling me that all the self reports that alcohol causes drunkenness are just placebo.

It's such an obvious effect, both immediately following a workout, as well as over time (months that I work out vs. months that I don't) that it could never be confused with a placebo effect. Hence studies like this that attempt to determine /why/ it happens, vs /that/ it happens.

I have to admit I was frightened when I heard of hikikomori. I am not Japanese, but I have a tendency for staying at home, sometimes for as much as a couple or three days. I thought I might be or end up like them.

I have what you would call a successfull full-time job as a programmer and my tendency for staying home was so that I could hack on things I wanted. The pressure however to try and stay ahead of the curve has always been there. Some of it came from parents and society (I'm not American either) but I would say most of it came from me seeing no future ahead of me if I got stuck at the country I was from. I would have gotten by, but I doubt I'd be happy. I'd be on a grim path. I probably felt I was a bit ahead of this curve to not be affected, but now that I'm getting older (35) I'm starting to wonder if I really fenced it off. I'm still unmarried and like to stay home; just in a different country.

What makes it hard for me to connect is not a presence of pressure to do well, but a lack of authenticity in people or events going around in the several places I've lived in the US. I'm talking about a connection. Even as a teenager I would feel some sort of connection with people around me. Now it seems there isn't enough of a will in people to do the same. Whatever dense ingredient was there has now dissipated or distributed over by time or a larger moving population.

When I read of hikikomori, I ended up writing a blog/site to record such connections. Here it is if you find it useful: hikigo com. I like these small reminders that there's enough beauty if you care enough to observe it. I never posted this site anywhere until now, because the anonymity of it is what i like most about it - as a sort of protest to the social Facebook pressure.

I hope it stays that way.

I expressed myself poorly. What I meant is that using cryptography shouldn't be that hard to use for the uninformed user. Introducing cryptography in an application is about security, and if we want more secure applications, cryptography should be easy as pie to use.

Of course cryptography is hard, and it is an interesting topic (one I know a few things about as it turns out).

Death penalty is wrong when you can afford it being wrong.

Here in Brazil most of the population want death penalty back, simply because we are expending enormous amounts of money in dangerous criminals (murderers, rapists, thieves that murder, drug lords...) and it is not fixing anything, crime continue rising, and the more people we lock up, the more people show up.

Worse, some people even after 30 years in prison (our maximum prison sentence), as soon they get released, they commit crimes again.

To not mention escapees... Every time a mass escape happen, there is a surging crime wage.

So people here outright think criminals must be killed, the problem is that without death penalty, people then kill instead of criminals, suspects, voiding the "innocent until guilty".

In that perspective what is better, death penalty, but you have a trial first, reducing (but obviously not eliminating) miscarriage of justice, or a angry population that might impale the head of a soccer judge on a stake?

Yes, that happened here!

This week, during a amateur soccer game, one particularly violent player got kicked out of the game, unhappy he decided to attack the judge. The judge after getting kicked a couple of times and fighting the guy, pulled a knife and stabbed in one single stab the guy chest (seemly the heart, since the guy died with that single stab).

The team of the violent player was extremely unhappy with that outcome, tied the judge to a tree, stoned him, and then they removed his limbs (I forgot the term in english)and impaled his head in a stake.

And the most absurd this might look, the population is HAPPY this happened, and want to prevent the police to catch the perpetrators, because the population WANTS more stuff like this to happen, because the commonly spelled belief here that: "A good bandit, is a dead bandit."
