Are digital books really a part of the Japanese market? The Japanese have historically preferred physical goods over digital goods.

I agree with the general idea, let an already existing product handle problems that everyone has. The last part is still important though, if we are going to build "distributed" apps, then we need to handle those dependencies fa

It's pretty much dead now, but Microsoft Research had a project called Singularity ( http://research.microsoft.com/en-us/projects/singularity/ ). It's an entire OS implemented in Spec#, which is a sub

The same incentive they have today: profit based on taking in more in then they have to pay out based on risk. If insurance companies arbitrarily bump up insurance for manually driven cars, then that opens up a market for someone to jump in

Sure, it will be more expensive than the automated car. But why would it be more expensive than today? Why would automated cars on the road make manually operated cars more risky than they are today?

That was actually one of my favorite moments! Someone pulled up the TFS chart of lines of code added/removed per developer. First, I removed way more lines then I added. But second, the number of lines I removed was (completely accide

Do you mean they push wrecked cars down the length of the bridge to get them off? Or are they literally in such a rush that they just chuck it off the side of the bridge? Because that would be awesome.

I don't see why the cost would be any higher than it is today. If anything, driver-less cars would have lower insurance premiums. So if you can afford/justify your insurance today, you could still afford it in the future. I coul

Doctors are already required to perform continuing education beyond their normal work duties (ie still meet their quotas). These requirements have actually been getting more and more onerous over the years. My mother works in primary care

It also doesn't matter if you are actually the one taking the test.

I wonder if the .Net/Java approach of "Iterables And Objects" with generic sequence operators either is ListAndHash or is the equivalent in more strongly typed languages. You essentially replace String->Object Hashes with

It looks like you are in violent agreement

I know that OpenShift 3, built on kubernetes, supports both affinity and anti-affinity policies ( https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en/openshift-enterpr... ). I don't know if these are part of kubernetes

Yeah, the only way I ever found it was because I kept accidentally doing global searches when I though I was searching a repo. Turns out I just held backspace too long while clearing out the search bar. It took me a long time to realize wha

Because you don't have to keep supplying credentials when using SHH keys. It's less about speed and more about reducing the friction in common operations. It's also the way I'm used to handling things with gitolite, so t

I had never noticed before that GitHub "Highly Recommends" cloning via HTTPS instead of via SSH. This is the opposite of what I usually tell people to do. I do not see any reasoning anywhere, but I might have missed it. Does anyon

I'm not sure that is true. Anything on the rails has to inter-operate with rail traffic and control systems. A drone can inspect the track regardless of rail traffic.

In the DC area many apartment buildings offer first year deals (months free, waived fees, etc). But you forget that there is nothing forcing you to stay in that apartment after the year is up. I have friends that purposely move from apartme

IMO, push notifications for mobile applications is a big hole. It's not an easy problem to solve, but as of right now I believe you have to release your own flavor of the mobile applications for this to work.

Bringing up new containers will always take a finite amount of time. If all of a cluster is deployed to a single host, and that host dies, then the recovery time is the time needed to reschedule the container elsewhere, load it onto the mac

Yes, if services are too small than it will be hell. A lot of microservice proponents talk about how services should align to a "bounded context", essentially a domain of the business. That makes it more likely that (1) there are

by cpitman 11y ago
Do you subscribe to the idea that services should correspond to "bounded contexts", ie a business domain? And if so, what do you do when a bounded context is too complex to fit into 150LOC?

In most environments systems are already distributed, it's just that each "component" is a massive monolith. Sometimes, it's the cobol monolith, the .Net monolith that partially replaced it, and the NodeJS monolith that

I get what you're saying, and I've tried both ways: using project structure to explicitly force modularity vs trying to instill culture and practices to preserve modularity within a monolith. I should mention I am a consultant, so

> decentralize all things – well, the services are still logically coupled, no matter how you split them. I think this is missing the point. It isn't just about decentralizing services , it is also about allowing you to decentraliz

Kubernetes can be used to deploy anything that you can put into a Docker container, including support for persistent volumes (ie "mode 1" applications). I've been using it recently to host XMPP servers, gitlab, jenkins, etc.

Why does this make any more sense for bikes than for cars? This seems to be an argument for why the current rules for stop signs are wrong because there is an "obvious" set of cases where someone shouldn't have to stop. Isn&#

A resume can say anything . Some of it may even be true. So how are you telling the difference between a good resume and a faked good resume? It's just like spam filtering, both the candidates and companies are in an arms race to
