Docker isn't part of RHEL, it's only available on RHEL6 as part of EPEL. The EPEL package maintainers will, in theory, keep supporting the rather old version of Docker (1.5) in EPEL for another 5 years.

Duverger's law describes how the plurality rule (there can be only one winner) in elections usually results in a two party system, and the Hotelling-Downs model explains the Median voter theorem which shows that these two parties will

I find alcohol is good way to explain to people outside of the US how it is unlikely to get a ban on guns in the USA, even though it's obvious that would prevent death by a madman going on a shooting spree at a school. It would be lik

Currently the biggest pressure on demand for palm oil is for biofuels. The result has been a significant recent and planned expansion of palm oil plantations in Indonesia and Malaysia. It doesn't help that many countries now have a m

Well I was thinking mostly of what options does Greece has if it is not allowed to print money to get out of debt. The Brazilian virtual currency, named the opposite of virtual, was an interesting idea. Another alternative could be for th

I think Greece should introduce a currency like that and pay pensions and government employees in it. It should have a floating exchange rate to the Euro. They should call it the 'faux'

There's no scaling tax relief on dividends in Ireland, it gets taxed like any other income.

I think you and nostromo describes the situation well from a European, or British, perspective and I think this is different from the US perspective covered in the article. I think the cultures around material status symbols are very diffe

Perhaps they need a solution inspired by the Brazilian Real. Pay government salaries and pensions in a different currency, called the 'faux' or something. The value won't change, but how many Euros you can get for 1 faux wo

The people who write these laws in developed countries accept free labour from interns.

I think this is a bit extreme on the fake side, but I have found somewhere between that and a real job that works quite well, while not being fake. There are agencies that will make you come in like a 9-5 job, help you write your CV, help

They will also have to borrow money to pay for these, and these loans will add up.

While it's relatively easy for people with an EU passport to move to the UK, the work permit system is just as bad as the H1-B visa system. It's capped at around 20000 applicants per year. For those with good English and tech ski

Reminds me of old versions of Xen with RHEL6 guests. That's a combination that teaches you very quickly about clocksources, ntp and adjtimex.

Opening up trade is bad by default... to those that benefit from the barriers that are in place. I am always suspicious of a lot of emotive campaigning in response to trade agreements that opens up trade.

The worst I've seen has been in Johannesburg in South Africa, where automatic transmission is rare. I used to refer to it as concertina traffic before I knew it was called a traffic wave, and the concertina is a popular instrument in

The last time I counted, I have driven in 12 different countries. I found this certainly happens a lot in South Africa and a bit in various parts of Spain and Ireland. It seems to happen a lot less in the UK and Portugal.

I find this happens a lot more in some countries than others, and it's not down to levels of traffic on the road, it's down to driving habits. I think the UK has done well with driver education and variable speed limits to mitiga

Krugman expressing his political opinions is worse than Chomsky. At least Chomsky doesn't dress his political opinions up as linguistics.

There's some top talent in and from India, but they will be as hard to find or expensive to pay as anywhere else. It may have been slightly different in the past, but it settled quickly at a point where you get what you pay for. Deve

What this made me think of is how many 32 bit, Linux-based, microcontrollers and IoT devices are out there and in the making. Many of these might actually still be relied on 23 years from now.

I do mean active. I'm saying old, passive, speakers are very good, but active speakers are becoming more attractive for other reasons.

Good speakers up to 20 years old are often still good. It even seems like old capacitors in the crossovers doesn't really have much of an impact. Amplifiers have gotten more convenient, being lighter, cheaper, with better remote cont

It helps that you can run it for free on anything from an iDevice to a hand crafted hipsterbuntu server farm, where in the past you had to do it on expensive Ericsson kit deep inside of telco land.

I can relate, though we lived on the edge of a town of 8000 people but it was 3 hours drive to a city and this was in South Africa. I hated it, I loved visiting the city. I moved to the city as soon as I could, and moved to bigger cities

The part that needs the most optimism is the provision of the connectivity to the section in South Africa, which is unfortunately a political challenge instead of an engineering challenge.
