Couple of points/questions, at least from my perspective as a man of many hats to anyone passing by the above comment:

1. Docker appears to only allow a single entry point per container. What do I do if I want to run a container consisting of say postfix and dovecot together? If this is possible can someone please point me at it.

2. Go doesn't allow you to bundle resources with the executables (as say Java/C#) so you have to rely on 3rd party libraries to do this that aren't very good. I can't easily ship my templates with my web server for example as part of the "go build" process. Again if I'm wrong, please point me at a solution.

Confessions of a Physician Sugar Addict
In particular, http://kafka.apache.org/documentation.html#intro_consumers addresses the concept of consumer groups and what ordering is guaranteed. One thing that might be worth noting for the grandparent is that Kafka consumers have an offset commit API that gives some control over how failures are handled. If a consumer dies before committing an offset but after reading data from the broker, a fresh consumer that joins the consumer group can see the same data once the system determines the original has died; that ensures all data will be processed, even in the event of consumer failures.

Kinesis provides the same ordering guarantees. They use different terminology (Kafka topics == Kinesis streams; Kafka partitions == Kinesis shards) but have the same system interface. The details of the APIs used for consumption differ, but they provide the same basic functionality of Kafka's "consumer groups".
"people do need to realise that a lot of Africa has very good 2G/3G coverage"

This true, but the price is prohibitive. Most cell phone users in Africa are on prepaid mobile services which charge the equivalent of 20 US cents per MB for 2G/3G data. This is a lot of money for the average 3rd world cell phone user.
Please note that experiments of this sort will be far more expensive and sometimes be outlawed if government goes ahead with its plan to declare internet as "utility"by masquerading it as "net neutrality".

Experiments like these could be more feasible if large cos like FB, Google invest in it with greater control.

If you tone down the hyperbole and try to express your criticisms without insults you might have more chance of a conversation rather than just provoking ire.

I don't really feel his books feature much sadism or horror, it's more a playful disregard for current mores, or a recasting of current taboos in a future where those wouldn't exist - taboos are remarkably fluid. The novels certainly are not intended as hyper-realism, realistic social models or character studies, nor do I think Banks would see them as such. I disagree that his writing is brilliant stylistically, it's interesting and playful, but often pretty lacklustre in terms of craft (plot, character development, language). The ideas he likes to explore I find intriguing however.

It is true that Banks never really explored how Culture society would function, or really how a post-scarcity model would work - all that is just assumed to exist and function well in the books, however I think he was more interested in exploring the accommodation of humans to intelligent machines, the questions raised by extremely powerful and developed civilisations clashing with civilisations which are not as developed, the contradiction of an ostensibly peace-loving yet heavily militarised culture, and the implications of transcending normal human life. These are questions we will have to address at some point even in our narrow world (we haven't yet), and I find it interesting to read his take on them.

So I think while you're right in some sense that the Culture is implausible (or at least not made plausible), the focus is not on the Culture simply because it's a backdrop, and gets him to the place where he can talk about these interesting questions.

Because of the implicit thing! The api designer doesn't have to write the interface, you can do it yourself. As long as naming conventions are kept to and the signature matches, you can apply this anywhere.

Imagine a close() interface in Java. There isn't one - but having a try {...} finally { x.close(); } can be very useful sometimes. But having interface graphs made of granular interfaces makes everything slow and causes a lot of complexity when you try to think about your type hierarchy. That's why interfaces always just grow and you can't use them any longer because other classes only implement part of the api. Something usable for all of awt, swing, file handling, random foreign libraries? Unthinkable. Also, adding something in a later release (like CharSequence in 1.4) can have a wide ranging impact and requires you to change a lot of code.

In Go, you just add an interface from the union set of multiple structs api - and you can use it. No matter who wrote those structs. The value is enormous. Think of it as something like dependency injection at compile time.

Why don't you outline how you think a typical booking should go for a person under arrest for B&E? You appear to have strong feelings on the subject, you keep raising how other countries do it. Bring your international expertise into the picture and outline how you must know they do a similar procedure in say: Ireland, Spain, France, Germany, Italy, Thailand, South Korea, China and England?

Please highlight where those systems provide a particularly good experience for the suspect and where they need work. Compare and contrast to the booking procedures in a typical American police station.

Maybe do it as a series of blog posts, with diagrams, furniture photos and fabric selections?
You could apply that subjective value judgement to any number of jobs that are stressful and not world-critical important.

There's absolutely zero evidence that your brain determines its own health based on the importance of your task to the greater world.

Why hasn't Jerry Seinfeld melted down? How did Joan Rivers last so long? How is Howard Stern still functioning? Jay Leno? David Letterman? Sean Hannity? Jon Stewart? How about the thousands of tabloid writers across the nation? How about sports writers / journalists?

There's zero evidence for a link to what you're suggesting, in terms of value of the job being performed according to some external person's subjective determination.

Your value judgement doesn't dictate the self-worth or mental health of someone else, such that they're going to suffer a mental collapse because you think what they do is of low importance.

The break on modifications should already be possible, by adding breakpoints to Mutation Events (as you can do already with e.g. mouse related events).

However, Mutation Events were marked as deprecated by allegedly bad design. We should be using MutationObserver[1] instead (which, I believe, will be equally helpful in observing changes).

>35,000 people die every year on our streets because of careless driving. There's no right to privacy in what you do in public that endangers the lives everyone around you.
Killing a cityfull of innocent people every year is not some kind of civil right.

And who said that amount is big?

Perhaps it goes with the territory -- driving machines that weight a ton for hundrends of miles with 70 mph, and it's not just the driver going 5 miles over the limit, but other factors that could be statistically inevitable despite any surveillance.

>I don't know why you're shilling for tax evasion, either. And I'm a libertarian: I don't like the taxes, but that's no excuse to cheat while they're still the law.

So do you do immoral things to if they are "still the law"? Slavery was the law too at a not too distant past, as was segreggation (and some of us lived at that time too).
I'm curious as I've only ever seen "<country> has £<bignum> sovereign debt" and the other side of the equation is never really mentioned. But does the value of what the US has lent other countries approach $18T? Seems like it'd be hard to find even a handful of large enough countries you'd want to spread that sort of risk over.

The problem with low orbit is increased drag. This is basically why Iridium went bankrupt trying to charge $7/minute for phone calls - the lower you are the more fuel you need to expend for station keeping. A satellite that would last decades in geostationary orbit may only last four or five years at 120km.
Yeah, and then a despotic (or perhaps just idiotic) government takes over. And they have the 100% surveillance machinery in place to use as they please.

I see this as partially being that Musk is effectively filling his own volume demands for SpaceX. So even if this venture breaks even, or loses a modest amount of money, ramping up the launch volume for SpaceX is a big win for him. Every launch he can have with SpaceX that pays for itself, is a big win. It might also help demonstrate the economics that he has always had in mind for space, over time; an evolving proof of concept (that it'll likely get cheaper over time).
Personally I wouldn't run Postfix and Dovecot together under Docker. Instead, I'd export a volume for the mail store, and share that volume between a Postfix and Dovecot container.

But if you absolutely want to put them in the same container, the solution is to run a process manager as the entrypoint. E.g. base it on something like baseimage-docker [1]

They're only discussing this for wired broadband so no worries there.
My only knock against Chromebook is that Skype is not supported. For many casual users Skype is still a requirement.

Supposedly there is a way to install Skype for Android on a Chromebook (http://www.pcworld.com/article/2686712/run-any-android-app-o...) but Skype app did not load properly for me.

I ended up making a dual boot with Lubuntu on it just for Skype.

Otherwise a Chromebook is pretty much sufficient for casual users(my mother-in- law etc).

Confidence in Medicine – EXAM TIME ALREADY
Schrodinger's cat hates the Principle of Excluded Middle.
You could say much the same about learning how to setup X stack on Linux vs just using a service like Heroku.

Most developers probably shouldn't be messing with Docker. If they aren't directly creating value for someone, then their efforts are probably best directed elsewhere. There is value to yourself for learning and scratching your own itch, but that effort needs to be treated like a side project. It doesn't cross over into your real work.

Docker is low level plumbing on which more "user friendly" workflows are being built. These workflows are what developers should be using. Docker is still young, so there is still a lot more attention on the plumbing than there is in any tools which have been built on top of it. That will change as the ecosystem develops.

But this is a common developer problem. Sometimes developers will spend time doing anything other than what they need to be doing to actually ship things. We don't get paid to write code, we get paid to deliver on things with the greatest impact on that bottom line.

I have something in between an observation and a theory about chromebooks, though I'm not entirely sure about it.

First, I think there's still a big whole in home computing. Windows laptops are a bundle of compromises that doesn't serve the average home user all that well. Chromebooks are an appealing concept.

OTOH, the praise of chromebooks since the start always seems to be "these are cool, they would be great for X" where X is your theoretical aunt, nephew or neighbor. Enthusiasts also like them as a "2nd machine." At the same time, while they continue to sell well I see very little of Chrome OS traffic in web analytics. When the iphone first went on sale, the traffic ramped up immediately. Android web traffic lagged behind sales a lot more and the build up took longer, but it was still obvious. Public data seems to be generally similar.

I don't know how far to take conclusions from that. I realize that certain sites do experience significant Chrome OS traffic, especially US education focuses sites. But, for most of the web, Chrome OS seems to be fighting to get to the middle of the "other" category, with SymbianOS and Playstation as rivals.

I think Chrome OS is awesome, but still not done. Some sort of a merger with android, some rejigging of the apps and the basic metaphors might be an improvement. I know for my part I'd like to get my Dad one, but it doesn't run Skype so...
Yep, "using mmap" is worse performance-wise than what database engines do. It's not a suitable interface for shoveling data onto disk in a manner such that you can say, "I am done writing this to disk," and "This file will never be in an inconsistent state in the event of kill -9 or powerloss," with maximum performance. Also, it's not enough to cry "use mmap," if you don't want a corrupted file.

I think your antipathy towards relational databases has more to do with your unwillingness to learn how to use them than anything else. Otherwise you'd be capable of speaking with other people here on their level.

It's even easier if the person needing help for health care is someone who you relate to intimately, like your best friend/parent/brother/child.

Where in a country of low taxes you'd be able to afford to provide care for your close ones out of the goodness of your heart, in a country of heavy taxation, it's much harder for you to do this. The inefficiency of government benefits and subsidies inflates the cost of health care on one hand, while inability for policies to customise benefits per patient means often benefits are distributed unfairly.

Where in a communist nation the government reduces inequality by making everyone poor, a nation that taxes heavily to provide universal benefits reduces inequality (of family connections) by making everyone face their problems alone, with only the help of a regular bank deposit from the government as well as the occasional union with a family member. It divides us from a strong network with many connections between each node to one of spoke and hub, where the spoke is an individual and the hub the state.

Sometimes you might feel lonely and have no one to turn to, even as you have dozens and dozens of friends. This is why.
Thanks for the info. I'd have a couple of problems with exporting the volume because I need postfix to talk to a Unix domain socket that dovecot listens on for SASL auth. I'll go with the process manager solution - thanks for your suggestion!

>I understand that it makes you emotional and brings up all kinds of feelings of injustice. But your arguments just become troll fodder when they start the way you've started your argument.

Not sure what's trollish about it. There are lots of instances of police reporting BS assaults just in order to arrest someone. People have spoken about such experiences in HN too. Not to mention the recent thing in Fergusson, were the same kind of incident happened twice in the span of a month.

I'm not in favor of "proving" things with numbers outside of hard sciences. In real life numbers are dirty themselves, tailored, manipulated etc. Either you know about some things from experience and/or can draw conclusions from the limited input that you read and learn about or not. Statistics ain't the answer, official statistics even less so.

>And you've only simulated the appearance of rationality by bringing German police shootings into the matter, something almost completely non-sequitur and demonstrating your lack of rational thought on the issue.

Not sure how it's non sequitur in any way. It was an argument that police forces can and DO operate differently in a modern, advanced, western country.

If you want to argue that the US is not as advanced and civilized and as such it's more dangerous for policemen, I might agree, but that's another point. And it might be one caused by the way the police/justice/prison system itself works here too.

If Congress does not like the way its legislation is interpreted by the Supreme Court it is free to amend that legislation (and this often happens). It's not so much that the two branches of government have a different relationship in the US and the UK, but rather that in the US there is a special piece of legislation (the Constitution) which can't be amended easily.
