Man shocks 'America's Got Talent' judges by singing a duet all by himself
Posted 3:55 am, January 15, 2020, by Darren Sweeney, Updated at 04:28AM, January 15, 2020
HOLLYWOOD, California (WJW) — Any singer will tell you, it's not easy to take on Celine Dion or Andrea Bocelli.
But Marcelito Pomoy earned a standing ovation on "America's Got Talent: The Champions" by taking on both powerhouse singers.
Pomoy, 35, sang Bocelli's tenor part and Dion's soprano part of their hit duet "The Prayer."
His performance brought the judges and the audience to their feet.

Pomoy's wife joined him on stage following the performance and wiped away tears.
"You are a beautiful, wonderful singer with a young woman trapped inside of you," judge Howie Mandel told Pomoy of his performance.
"I want to see something different, something unique, and Marcelito you just gave that to us," judge Alesha Dixon said. "It was absolutely brilliant."
Heidi Klum told Pomoy it was one of the "craziest things I've ever heard in my entire life."
"Your voice, your song, your range is just so out of this world," she said.
Simon Cowell told Pomoy his performance was a "10."
"It's as simple as that," Cowell said.
"I have a feeling the super fans will put you through to the next round," Cowell said shortly after Mandel told Pomoy he would not be getting the "Golden Buzzer."
Pomoy's performance was trending on YouTube and had more than five million views.
He posted on his Facebook page, "Love you all.. Thank you so much."
"Thank you dear Lord Jesus Christ for giving me a chance to share my talent to the whole world… and by praying with me."

In Kansas, America, journalists filmed two local residents playing Mario Kart at the Kauffmann Stadium. One of the TV channels took a huge stadium screen with a gameplay from the game onto a helicopter camera. As a rule, such screens are used during sports games: replays and scores of the match are shown there.
Representatives of the Kansas City Royals baseball team, which owns the stadium, explained that playing Mario Kart is part of a charity event. The Royals Charities team foundation organized a fundraising match and promised that such events could be repeated in the future.

Managing Challenges on the Road to DITA
Last week we attended the DITA North America conference in my home city of Seattle. It is always interesting to have the opportunity to interact with the DITA community. During a birds-of-a-feather lunch gathering I had some interesting conversation regarding the promise and perils of content re-use. Many of those in the conversation were new to DITA. As we discussed the challenges around content re-use in DITA I was reminded of the many pitfalls often encountered that often subvert the efficiencies promised by DITA.
The technical challenges of re-use
One of DITA's more attractive feature is its ability to provide a range of technical support for reusing content within or across publications. Traditional authoring and page layout tools tended to have limited support for re-use, and often the mechanisms for this support was proprietary. This is why more often than not these tools are underused in favor of copy and paste.
Re-use is baked into DITA
The DITA specification has effective, open concepts of re-use baked into the design. This means that using DITA for content authoring eliminates the technical hurdles limiting the re-use of content. It's topic-based approach encourages the creation of reusable content. Many organizations that move to DITA, then, are often surprised when after solving the technical hurdles content is still not widely re-used in their organizations.
Non-technical challenges
Many challenges to content re-use exist that are not technical. Unless these are addressed as part of a DITA project, wide re-use of content may remain an elusive vision. Here are some of the critical challenges that should at least be considered when trying to create an environment of content re-use.
Delivery assumptions
Most content delivered today is shifting from traditional print deliveries to a range of digital delivery formats. Yet when the content is authored it is often from the perspective of a single deliverable. Even though the tool may allow any section of a book to be re-used, you may find that the way the content is actually written prevents such use. Imagine a section of a technical manual that makes reference to other content contained in the manual. What happens if that content is re-used in a manual that does not contain the referenced section? And are such references required to be clearly tagged so that tools can provide assistance in managing such references when needed? Often this area of training is not well-addressed and authors continue to create content dependencies that are difficult to manage.
Authors who write content units only in the context of a deliverable will be tempted to write content that is dependent on the particular deliverable. You can't assume that they'll "figure it out" or that a tool can magically change such behaviors. You need to have a plan to train users not only on the technical use of the new tools but also the conceptual framework that DITA brings.
Oversimplification
Another temptation is to try to simplify your DITA implementation in an attempt to address potential dissatisfaction from your users. While it sounds like an XML editor that hides details and "acts just like Word" might be much easier for users to learn, if such a tool becomes an excuse to hide the details of DITA from the content creators then you may actually impede the realization of many of DITA's benefits. One of the important foundations of DITA is in separating content from presentation. This is at the heart of its powers to support single-source publishing.
In such a scenario, the concept of a WYSIWYG editor makes little sense. XML editors that provide a word-processor-like view are really better thought of as tools that present a style of XML useful for the authors in the creation of content. As such, when you design stylesheets for your authoring tool you probably do not want them matching your print output. Doing so risks obfuscating many important structures that are not visible in a specific print output but may be important foundations for re-use and linking. Instead of trying to match the authoring tool to a specific output format, you should consider creating styles for authors that make apparent the information they need to manage in order to create re-usable content. Metadata, conditional tagging and other supporting structures should be made apparent and easily accessed. If hidden behind a context menu or in an external panel users may find their use cumbersome. Worse, unexpected behaviors not readily apparent to someone re-using the content may occur. Such surprises often result in users avoiding the re-use of content they can't readily understand.
Access to properly configured tools and training is critical if you expect your users to take advantage of DITA's support for re-use. Not everyone needs to have a full set of content analysis skills in order to use a DITA system, but they do need to know the details of how your particular business environment is configured.
Lack of content management
Many DITA projects start using the DITA open toolkit and a file system or shared folder. But problems can occur specifically around re-use in such a scenario. Shared folders rarely provide controlled access to content. Content in directories often provides no mechanism for tracking versions, controlling updates, and ensuring that two users do not try to modify the same content (or overwrite others' content). When a small DITA project is rolled out to a larger set of users these problems worsen with increased content re-use. If a team runs into these problems they quickly begin creating copies of content anyway to avoid the problem — eliminating any potential benefits of content re-use.
Content management is also needed to support the organization of content components. Content management systems often provide the ability to support metadata and search features that make locating potential content for re-use much easier. Relying on a shared folder typically means that as the number of content components increases users' ability to find re-usable components decreases. At some point, users may decide its easier to write new content rather than try to deal with these challenges.
Unless you have a very small team that is tightly coordinated content management is an important tool for maximizing your investment in DITA.
Earning your wings
These examples represent just a few of the many potential challenges that can surprise newcomers to DITA. Some may be addressed through training. Some may improve with experience. But it is very hard for organizations new to DITA to make content decisions before they have sufficient experience. And there is often a chicken-and-egg scenario where the promise of DITA remains unrealized without an investment in tools to properly use it. Such investment is often risky, as it may require investment in integration, licenses and products unfamiliar to your organization.
In the last several years, however, tools like our own DocZone product are available that provide preconfigured integrated DITA tools on a hosted basis. For a monthly fee, you can license the use of DocZone's best-of-breed tools in an already integrated and configured environment. If your organization is new to DITA and/or content management such a solution can enable users to build experience on a professional platform without the cost typically associated with setting up such an environment yourself. Because you are in a proven, production-ready environment you are less susceptible to many of the problems typically encountered when setting up a new DITA environment. A hosted solution also can scale to address the requirements of small and large teams. The use of DITA also means that your content can be used with other DITA-based tools if needed.
Trying to achieve the full promise of DITA is a challenge whether you try learning in an ineffective shared-folder environment or try integrating an end-to-end DITA toolset for the first time. A hosted option like DocZone is a great alternative to taking on these challenges alone.

I'm disgusted, outraged and frustrated — an increasingly common set of emotions for me in Gainesville FL.
I was asked to attend a charrette this afternoon about the proposed gas station/convenience store to replace the old Dodge dealership on North Main. I also attended the evening design meeting as the neighborhood association president for my compact, walkable neighborhood, which is adjacent to this project.
In many ways, the project is impressive. Far and away, the most impressive feature is putting the gas pumps behind the convenience store. That alone should win them many awards. I also like the connector street to NE 2nd Street. Some other features are nice touches, but trivial by comparison.
In any event, I strongly believe that in downtowns and other urban locations of a city, the pedestrian is the design imperative. Everything else comes second. In this case, we have a project that is at the northwest gateway of the most walkable, ped-friendly neighborhood in north central Florida.
But the old bugaboo has raised its fearsome, tiresome head in this case. North Main Street and North 16th Avenue is considered a "failed" intersection (for cars, that is). As I mentioned at a speech I gave at Florida State University yesterday, the "failed road" is a common, inflammatory term used by car chearleaders have their way when they seek a bigger road or intersection. Wwho could be against "fixing" a "failed road"? People are dying!
So in this case, we have the spectacle of City of Gainesville and Alachua County "planners" & engineers (who have probably never walked to a store in their lives) demanding that this proposed gas station provide the "amenity" of "fixing" this "failed" intersection by widening that stretch of North Main from 4 lanes to 5. Not only do they ignore the endless refrain that we cannot build our way out of congestion. They also overlook the stunning, ironic fact that by widening this intersection from 4 lanes to 5, it becomes a failed intersection for pedestrians.
In the most walkable neighborhood in the area.
I find it enormously illuminating that while we have precise, mathematical, well-known ways to determine when a road/intersection is to be called "failed" when it comes to cars, we have no equivalent way to know when a road/intersection is to be called "failed" when it comes to pedestrians.
Why is that? Is it perhaps that most of us are never pedestrians and therefore always forget that there are, in fact, pedestrians in the community?
Note that, of course, the 16th and Main intersection is already a failed intersection for pedestrians. Unlike with cars, where "failure" refers to a situation where a large number of cars are delayed for a brief time, a failed intersection for pedestrians occurs, in my opinion, when there are no pedestrians using it. And hardly anyone ever walks that intersection (due to existing poor design and cow-town densities nearby). Now, city and county staff are demanding that this intersection become even more of a failure for pedestrians.
So much for the pedestrian as the design imperative. So much for this being a community with a walkable, prideful sense of place.
One of the main aspects of my outrage is that the gas station designers find that it is very costly for them to give up 8 feet of their property to install a turn lane at the intersection. They agree with my point that by far, it is preferable to improve the intersection by taking Main Street from 8th Avenue to 16th Avenue from 4 lanes to 3 (and have turn pockets along the way). The street becomes more permeable, safer, livable, and efficient. And more likely to promote healthy retail and residential development along the corridor.
But they were stopped in their tracks when they learned, recently, that Alachua County staff opposes taking this portion of Main from 4 lanes to 3. I had heard that the obstacle to doing this in the recent past was that Publix grocery store was foolishly objecting (incorrectly believing that such a diet would reduce car-carrying capacity).
Apparently, county staff do not understand that such a diet would not reduce capacity. Or is staff opposed because they heard that Publix is opposed, and that it is therefore a non-starter to recommend lane removal?
Why would city and county staff who do not live in our neighborhood go against the wishes of the adjacent and walkable neighborhood? Why are they instead calling for the further degradation of the neighborhood perimeter? Why do the "escape route" interests of outlying suburbanites outweigh the community-building, community-enhancing wishes of the neighborhood?
As a lifelong bicycle commuter who has suffered from trying to bike in hostile American roads, I appreciate and completely understand the perception on the part of many bicyclists that American roads are extremely dangerous for bicyclists, as well as pedestrians. And even for motorists.
For many years, it seemed obvious what the solution to this problem of dangerous roads needed to be: More caution signs, caution lights, caution road markings, etc., etc., etc. Indeed, this solution seems so commonsensical that road engineers in America have given us stronger and stronger doses of this remedy over the past several decades.
One definition of insanity is to continue to apply the same tactic to solve a problem despite the repeated failure of the tactic. This form of insanity has certainly been evident in American road design over the past century, as we keep applying the same "safety" tactics and our roads continue to become less safe over time, and as a result of such tactics.
Why, then, do American roads seem to be in a downward spiral of increasingly hostile, unsafe, reckless, car-only death traps?
I firmly believe that the answer is not that Americans, somehow, are genetically hard-wired to be unsafe, enraged, irresponsible drivers. That, mysteriously, only Europeans have a culture or a gene pool that is courteous and safe when it comes to travel.
I cannot buy this notion because I am a scientist and a cultural materialist. The behavior and ideas of nearly all of us is largely shaped by the material conditions we experience in our everyday world. It is not due to unexplainable, cynical differences in culture or genes between Americans and non-Americans. Or in what Americans are taught in schools.
Forgiving road design says that roads should be wide and free of obstructions such as on-street parking or nearby street trees along the edge of the street. Such design "forgives" the motorist who drives recklessly and inattentively high-speed because there is less for the driver to crash into if driving mistakes are made. It should not surprise us at all that forgiving road design leads to a substantial growth in high-speed, inattentive driving by Americans. Nearly all drivers drive at the maximum speed at which they feel safe. Forgiving roads ratchet up that safe speed. They also encourage folks to, for example, put on make-up or talk on the cell phone while driving. "Why not," says the motorist. We are so busy these days that we need to multi-task as much as possible, and the forgiving road makes it easier for us multi-task, because we don't need to be very attentive.
The forgiving road is the common sense design paradigm that assumes that American drivers are reckless and unsafe. Unfortunately, it is a self-fulfilling prophecy, because forgiving road design breeds a growing number of high-speed, inattentive, unsafe drivers. Again, it is material conditions that deliver us the behavior we see, not mysterious cultural or genetic differences.
Nearly all Americans exclusively drive on free roads and park in free parking lots. This is a huge subsidy that induces many to drive a car everywhere. We beg people to drive a car for all trips with these market-distorting subsidies. The result is that we artificially create more motorist trips than would occur naturally. We artificially reduce the number of people who walk, bicycle or use transit with this overwhelming form of auto socialism. The subsidy makes it extremely irrational for someone not to drive a car everywhere. The near absence of pedestrians, bicyclists and transit users in America means that there is no "safety in numbers" for such travelers. Motorists in America are not accustomed to encountering such travelers. As a result, many do not know how to safely share the road with them. Or are surprised when, on rare occasions, they encounter one.
In other words, were it not for the big subsidies, there would be a lot more people bicycling, walking or using transit. And their large numbers would mean they would be a lot safer. Motorists who would be seeing them more often would expect to encounter them more often, and therefore be more safe and courteous near them.
How Do We Remedy These Problems?
Calming strives to design a road in such a way as to obligate the motorist to slow down. Calming reduces the speed at which the motorist feels safe, which results in slower average car speeds. It also forces the motorist to be more attentive. Not paying attention can, for example, lead to a sudden jolt when unexpectedly reaching a speed hump or roundabout. An enormous number of high-quality studies throughout the world have shown that calming results in substantial increases in safety, higher quality neighborhoods, and more non-auto travel.
Perhaps the single most effective way for pedestrians and bicyclists to feel safer on streets is to slow down car speeds.
Roads need more "friction" in most cases. One-way streets, multi-lane streets, big vision triangles at intersections, wide travel lanes, removal of on-street parking, and removal of trees and buildings from street shoulders all serve to reduce friction and create a "racetrack" road feel that says to the driver: "You can drive like Mario Andretti and chat on a cell phone while driving here!" Counter-intuitively, it is actually safer to increase street friction because it forces motorists to slow down and be more attentive. As a bicyclist or pedestrian, I very much hope that the motorist is obligated (by road design) to be attentive to his/her driving, instead of discussing, say, a soap opera on the phone. Therefore, we need to convert one-way streets to two-way, start removing lanes on streets with more than 3 (i.e., put them on a diet), shrink vision triangles, narrow lane widths, restore on-street parking, restore large canopy street trees, and pull buildings up to the streetside sidewalks.
In sum, it should not surprise us that the safest, most attentive driving occurs in communities that have avoided high-speed, forgiving, caution-cluttered road design. Narrow, tree-lined streets with on-street parking, modest building setbacks and tight vision triangles breed safer, slower, more attentive driving that increases non-auto travel and makes such travel safer.
Conversely, the American paradigm of big, frictionless, subsidized, forgiving roads cluttered with caution signage breeds unsafe, high-speed, inattentive driving that seems to deliver a worsening problem over time. The more we apply this conventional "medicine," the worse our roads and motorists seem to become.

Soquimich Profit Drops 57% on Lower Fertilizer Sales
By James Attwood and Nathan Gill
Oct. 27 (Bloomberg) — Sociedad Quimica y Minera de Chile SA, Chile's biggest fertilizer producer, reported a 57 percent drop in third-quarter profit as lower prices dragged down sales.
Net income fell to $82.3 million from $191 million a year earlier, the Santiago-based company known as Soquimich wrote today in an e-mailed statement. The average estimate of four analysts surveyed by Bloomberg News was $77.6 million.
Operating income slumped to $110 million from $239 million and revenue slid to $384 million from $589 million. Potassium-related fertilizer prices in the second half are down on first-half levels and average prices for all products probably will be lower, Chief Executive Officer Patricio Contesse wrote in the statement.
"We believe that markets have bottomed out across all of our business lines and are beginning to turn around," Contesse wrote. "The recovery process is slow and will most likely remain slow in the following year."
Weak volume and lower prices of specialty chemicals probably hurt the company's third-quarter earnings, outweighing higher potash volumes, JPMorgan Chase & Co. wrote today in a note to clients before the results were released.
"We believe 3Q09 trends are likely to persist for the remainder of the year and carry into early 2010," wrote JPMorgan analyst Brian Chase, downgrading the stock to "underweight" from "neutral."

Review: Fishbone brings Portuguese tapas to…
Review: Fishbone brings Portuguese tapas to Laguna Beach
Critic Brad A. Johnson says he's made peace with anchovies at this new Portuguese seafood restaurant in Laguna Beach.

Boquerones are an acquired taste, one that has taken me the better part of a lifetime to appreciate. For coastal Europeans, these little white anchovies are as essential to daily life as air and water. The only way to make them edible, evidently, is to turn them into pickles.
Although I wouldn't call them addicting, the pickled anchovies at Fishbone Kitchen & Bar in Laguna Beach are undeniably delicious. Fishbone is a new Portuguese seafood restaurant that recently took over the abandoned Tortilla Republic spot on Coast Highway downtown.

It's important to note that this Fishbone is not related in any way to the half dozen Fishbone Seafood markets scattered across Los Angeles County, which are casual fish market cafes with a Southern accent. Rather, this Fishbone is from up north. It's a small (five-unit) chain from Canada, and this is their first location outside of Ontario.
I've only just begun to explore this place but my favorite thing thus far is the petiscos menu, which is offered at the bar throughout the day. Pesticos are to Portugal what tapas or pintxos are to Spain, and these little snacks provide some of Fishbone's most interesting flavors.

Where to find the best restaurant menu items in the area
This is where the boquerones come into play. There's one version with chips and pickled jalapeños that's very good, and another on toast with piquillo peppers that's even better.
Speaking of toasts, they also serve bite-sized focaccia with braised cherry tomatoes, which are immensely enjoyable. Lamb meatballs, tuna ceviche, classic papas bravas… I haven't found a bar snack here that I didn't like.
At dinner, the cod is cooked perfectly and served in a wonderful sauce that feels like a deconstructed corn chowder. And if you don't like fish, they do serve an utterly satisfying hanger steak with fresh-cut french fries.

Q: Webscraper will not work I have followed a tutorial pretty much to the letter, and I want my scraper to scrape all the links to the specific pages containing the info about each police station, but it returns the entire site almost.
from urllib import urlopen
import re

f = urlopen("http://www.emergencyassistanceuk.co.uk/list-of-uk-police-stations.html").read()

b = re.compile('')
a = re.findall(b, f)

listiterator = []
listiterator[:] = range(0,16)

for i in listiterator:
    print a
    print "\n"

f.close()

A: Use BeautifulSoup
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
from urllib2 import urlopen

f = urlopen("http://www.emergencyassistanceuk.co.uk/list-of-uk-police-stations.html").read()

bs = BeautifulSoup(f)

for tag in bs.find_all('span', {'class': 'listlink-police'}):
    print tag.a['href']

A: You are using regex to parse HTML. You shouldn't, because you end up with just this type of problem. For a start, the .* wildcard will match as much text as it can. But once you fix that, you will pluck another fruit from the Tree of Frustration. Use a proper HTML parser instead.

A: There are over 1.6k links with that class on it.
I think its working correctly... what makes you think it's not working?

And you should definitely use Beautiful Soup, it's stupid simple and extremely useable.

Song of the Day: The Pooches - Another Evening, Another Town
Anna Kaplan
Every Monday through Friday, we deliver a different song as part of our Song of the Day podcast subscription. This podcast features exclusive KEXP in-studio performances, unreleased songs, and recordings from independent artists that our DJs think you should hear. Today's song, featured on the Midday Show with Cheryl Waters, is "Another Evening, Another Town" by The Pooches, from their 2016 self-titled record on Lame-O Records.
The Pooches - Another Evening, Another Town (MP3)
Glasgow's The Pooches started out as the one-man project of Jimmy Hindle during the summer of 2013. After launching a successful Kickstarter campaign to release their first eighteen track record, Smoochin' With The Pooches, he's since added three members to the lineup and released numerous collections of songs. The full band now includes Hindle, Calvin Halliday on drums, Andy Kelly on guitar, and Gavin Cormack on bass. 2016 has been quite a busy year for the Scottish group, releasing not only the Heart Attack EP earlier this year in January, but also their self-titled LP in September.
"Another Evening, Another Town" is the third track off of The Pooches' latest eponymous release. Hindle's vocals use the same melody throughout almost the entire song, making this track infectiously catchy. His voice remains fairly monotone through the song, adding to the light, nonchalant manner that is reminiscent of Belle & Sebastian. As Hindle details life on the road, a short guitar riff remains in the background as another creates a floating vibe behind Hindle's words. By the time the chorus rolls around for the last time at the end of the three minute track, you'll be singing and humming along for the rest of the day.
If you're lucky enough to live in Glasgow, you can catch The Pooches opening for Modern Baseball early next year. No plans to come to the States yet, but keep your eye on their Bandcamp and Facebook for any changes. Watch the video for another song off of The Pooches LP, "The Light," below.

A change of leadership has been announced today by Bratislava's Slovak National Theatre. In the opera division, famed tenor Peter Dvorsky, the current artistic director, is to be replaced on August 1st by the Austrian conductor Friedrich Haider.
The changes were announced in a press release by the Slovak National Theatre director, Marián Chudovský. The modern theatre building, in Bratislava near the Danube, opened in April 2007 and includes ballet and theater as well as opera. The smaller old opera house, from 1886, is also still used by the SNT.
Dvorsky, born in 1951 in Partizánske, Czechoslovakia, had his first successes at the Slovak National Theatre, is widely recorded and has sung in top houses like La Scala and the Metropolitan Opera. He will continue the rest of this calendar year as a consultant to complete projects that he was involved with.
Haider, who studied with Nikolaus Harnoncourt, is currently music director of the Oviedo Filarmonía in Northern Spain. In 1991, at the age of just 30, Haider became the youngest general music director in the history of the Opéra national du Rhin in Strasbourg, serving until 1994. In the fall of 2006, he celebrated his debut at New York's Metropolitan Opera with Verdi's Rigoletto and has conducted major orchestra throughout Europe.

Microservices guru says think serverless, not Kubernetes: You don't want to manage 'a towering edifice of stuff'
Sam Newman speaks to devs at GOTOpia Europe
Tim Anderson Tue 22 Sep 2020 // 14:41 UTC
Sam Newman, a consultant and author specialising in microservices, told a virtual crowd at dev conference GOTOpia Europe that serverless, not Kubernetes, is the best abstraction for deploying software.
Newman is an advocate for cloud. "We are so much in love with the idea of owning our own stuff," he told attendees. "We end up in thrall to these infrastructure systems we build for ourselves."
He is therefore a sceptic when it comes to private cloud. "AWS showed us the power of virtualization and the benefits of automation via APIs," he said. Then came OpenStack, which sought to bring those same qualities on-premises. It is one of the biggest open-source projects in the world, he said, but a "false hope... you still fundamentally have to deal with what you are running."
You are viewing 1,459 cards with a total of 2,407,911 stars, market cap of $19.73 trillion and funding of $65.62 billion (click to enlarge): The CNCF 'landscape' illustration of cloud native shows how complex Kubernetes and its ecosystem has become
What is the next big thing? Kubernetes? "Kubernetes is great if you want to manage container workloads," said Newman. "It's not the best thing for managing container workloads. It's great for having a fantastic ecosystem around it."
As he continued, it turned out he has reservations. "It's like a giant thing with lots of little things inside it, all these pods, like a termite mound. It's a big giant edifice, your Kubernetes cluster, full of other moving parts... a lot of organisations incrementing their own Kubernetes clusters have found their ability to deliver software hollowed out by the fact that everybody now has to go on Kubernetes training courses."
Newman illustrates his point with a reference to the CNCF (Cloud Native Computing Foundation) diagram of the "cloud native landscape", which looks full of complexity.
A lot of organisations incrementing their own Kubernetes clusters have found their ability to deliver software hollowed out by the fact that everybody now has to go on Kubernetes training courses
Kubernetes on private cloud is "a towering edifice of stuff," he said. Hardware, operating system, virtualization layer, operating system inside VMs, container management, and on top of that "you finally get to your application... you spend your time and money looking after those things. Should you be doing any of that?"
Going to public cloud and using either managed VMs, or a managed Kubernetes service like EKS (Amazon), AKS (Azure) or GKE (Google), or other ways of running containers, takes away much of that burden; but Newman argued that it is serverless, rather than Kubernetes, that "changes how we think about software... you give your code to the platform and it works out how to execute it on your behalf," he said.
What is serverless?
"The key characteristics of a serverless offering is no server management. I'm not worried about the operating systems or how much memory these things have got; I am abstracted away from all of that. They should autoscale based on use... implicitly I'm presuming that high availability is delivered by the serverless product. If we are using public cloud, we'd also be expecting a pay as you go model."
"Many people erroneously conflate serverless and functions," said Newman, since the term is associated with services like AWS Lambda and Azure Functions. Serverless "has been around longer than we think," he added, referencing things like AWS Simple Storage Service (S3) in 2006, as well as things like messaging solutions and database managers such as AWS DynamoDB and Azure Cosmos DB.
But he conceded that serverless has restrictions. With functions as a service (FaaS), there are limits to what programming languages developers can use and what version, especially in Google's Cloud Functions, which has "very few languages supported".
Functions are inherently stateless, which impacts the programming model – though Microsoft has been working on durable functions. Another issue is that troubleshooting can be harder because the developer is further removed from the low level of what happens at runtime.
"FaaS is the best abstraction we have come up with for how we develop software, how we deploy software, since we had Heroku," said Newman. "Kubernetes is not developer-friendly."
FaaS, said Newman, is "going to be the future for most of us. The question is whether or not it's the present. Some of the current implementations do suck. The usability of stuff like Lambda is way worse than it should be."
Despite the head start AWS had with Lambda, Newman said that Microsoft is catching up with serverless on Azure. He is more wary of Google, arguing that it is too dependent on Knative and Istio for delivering serverless, neither of which in his view are yet mature. He also thinks that Google's decision not to develop Knative inside the CNCF is a mistake and will hold it back from adapting to the needs of developers.
How does serverless link with Newman's speciality, microservices? Newman suggested getting started with a 1-1 mapping, taking existing microservices and running them as functions. "People go too far too fast," he said. "They think, it makes it really easy for me to run functions, let's have a thousand of them. That way lies trouble."
Further breaking down a microservice into separate functions might make sense, he said, but you can "hide that detail from the outside world... you might change your mind. You might decide to merge those functions back together again, or strip them further apart."
The microservice should be a logical unit, he said, and FaaS an implementation detail.
Despite being an advocate of public cloud, Newman recognises non-technical concerns. "More power is being concentrated in a small number of hands," he said. "Those are socio-economic concerns that we can have conversations about."
Among all the Kubernetes hype, has serverless received too little attention? If you believe Newman, this is the case. The twist, perhaps, is that some serverless platforms actually run on Kubernetes, explicitly so in the case of Google's platform. ®

Cosplay Mania Hosts Starmarie Idol Group as Musical Guest
posted on 2016-08-04 04:30 EDT by Rafael Antonio Pineda
Pop group performed theme songs for Cardfight!! Vanguard G , Onigiri
The Cosplay Mania convention announced on Wednesday that it will feature the Starmarie pop idol group as a musical guest for the convention as part of its "I Love Anisong" collaboration with SOZO.
Starmarie formed in 2008, and currently consists of the members Nozomi Kishita, Shino Takamori, Monya Nakane, Hiroka Matsuzaki, and Kaede Watanabe. The group performed the song "Mekurumeku Yūki," the fourth ending theme song of the Cardfight!! Vanguard G TV anime. The song first appeared in the anime's 37th episode. Starmarie released their latest album, Fantasy World 3 , in April 2014, and released their latest single, "Hime wa Rankiryū☆Goikkō-sama," on April 20. The song served as the opening theme song of the Onigiri anime, where Starmarie members Monya Nakane and Nozomi Kishita also debuted as voice actresses.
Anime Festival Asia applies the "I Love Anisong" brand to its anime song concerts that take place at its conventions. Artists and singers with songs featured in anime series or films usually headline the events, and the concerts typically take place at every night of the duration of the convention.
Cosplay Mania will take place on October 1-2 at the SMX Convention Center in Pasay, Metro Manila. It previously announced Back-On as a musical guest.

If I haven't ever mentioned it before I'll just let y'all know now- I'm a big pop culture lover. I pretty much watch E! News every single night and am always browsing through Twitter catching up on the latest stories. One of my favorite things to do it look at celebrity street style! Some ladies just nail it with every look. A few of my top favorites that come to mind are Rachel Bilson, Alexa Chung, Olivia Palermo, and of course Reese Witherspoon.
Not many celebrities have truly preppy style, but Reese is in a league all her own. She continuously kills it and I'm always looking to her for classic style inspiration! I randomly stumbled upon these pictures last night and my heart stopped.Y'all... It's just perfection. Top to bottom this look is impeccable and it may be my favorite thing she's ever worn! It is completely classic and preppy with a girly chicness that I am dying over!
classic tortoise sunnies // hot pink sweater // navy patterned blouse // indigo skinnies // gold jewelry // navy pointy toe pumps // beautiful structured bag -- all kinds of YES.
Reese's style is lovely! I love the polka dot button down shirt, so cute.
I love pink and navy...such a classic look! Reese is one classy gal and always looks great in my book!
Reese is my all-time favorite! Love your post!


What is URL (Uniform Resource Locator) encoding? URL Decoding? Well URL encoding is used in the query string or the URI (Uniform Resource Identifier). You only really want to use encoding on the special symbols. Below is a search tool to find some of the symbols. Also below is a converter for you to get your URL encoded or decoded. More About URL encoding and decoding below the tools.
Sometimes I need to just find one value and have to go to the search engine and search for online url encoder / decoder. But none of the tools I have found feature a search function. So I took my tool a step further and added a search function. You can search both ways for the encoded string. Or if you know the decoded string but and need to know the character that it equals. This will search either way!
This example is would cause errors or maybe this is the way you want this one to work. var1 would == "http://www.image-maps.com/?var=1" and var2 would be part of the main URL and not the variable URL.
This example var1 == "http%3A%2F%2Fwww.image-maps.com%2F%3Fvar%3D1%26var2%3D1". So you get 1 variable with the main URL and 2 variables with the variable URL. So you can now visually see the differences between the two examples.
Now it's up to you to decide which outcome you would like to see.

The following 3 things are what will enable you to prevent that big dent in your pocket. Rest assured if you are knowledgeable about these concepts, you will be able to make an enlightened and knowledgeable decision regarding finances and discounts that are offered on various items on a daily basis.
What are NPV and PV?
"The difference between the present value of cash inflows and the present value of cash outflows. NPV is used in capital budgeting to analyze the profitability of an investment or project.
NPV analysis is sensitive to the reliability of future cash inflows that an investment or project will yield.
"The current worth of a future sum of money or stream of cash flows given a specified rate of return. Future cash flows are discounted at the discount rate, and the higher the discount rate, the lower the present value of the future cash flows. Determining the appropriate discount rate is the key to properly valuing future cash flows, whether they be earnings or obligations.
When it comes to savings, there are multiple options that are available. However, the most common ones are FDs and RDs. If you decide to go for an FD, how would you gauge what the best scheme is? How would you be able to judge if a scheme offering compounding on a Quarterly basis is better than one offering it on an Annual basis? What about the reverse situation? Would you be able to tell for certain which is better without your own set of prior calculations?
"The iPhone 5c and 5s just came with it an irresistible offer. In a move to make Apple iPhones more affordable for the general public, Reliance Communications announced that it will sell iPhone 5C and iPhone 5S on a 2-year contract basis with Equated Monthly Instalments (EMIs) and no down-payment.
So, when you are faced with a situation like this which is extremely hard to resist, what do you do? How do you know whether it is a good deal? After a month, do you think you might have regrets about your decision?
Well, worry not. We have the best solution for you considering the circumstances. To keep in mind the current economic situation and the needs and wants of the public, we have devised a simple model that will help in calculations at moments like these.
So based on my own calculations, I have discovered that the deal is actually extremely easy on the pocket. Reliance Communications has a deal of Rs.1499 that covers all the things mentioned above. But for just a bit more, you get an iPhone too along with the aforementioned! But another way of looking at it is given in the picture. I have decided to open an FD at 8% Interest for 24 months. I would've received Rs. 33, 166 at the end of it. As you can see, there are plenty of ways of looking at it.
So why don't you go ahead and try it out for yourself. Maybe you'll find yourself the owner of a brand new iPhone 5s tomorrow. Just remember to always do your own calculations prior to it!


This month's natural wine weekend is all about combatting this ridiculous July and it's scorching heat. There will be plenty of sparklings (orange & rosé), sweet skin contacts, and light juicy reds in the chiller.
We've been using a pizza oven in the kitchen to bake our galettes and toast your bread and bagels... but we thought why not put it to it's fill potential and throw some fresh dough in there with some top notch toppings! We'll announce the menu soon, but you all had some great (and some frankly mad) suggestions on our instagram poll.
Pizza and wine will be served Friday, Saturday and Sunday from 10am - 10pm. There will be no reservations, but pizza will be available sit in and takeaway.
We're crossing our fingers that the landlord will have the courtyard clear too, so you can wile away a warm July evening in the fresh air with a slice in one hand and a glass in the other. Bliss.

Q: Regex to convert everything to lower-case, except URLs Given a free text like

Hello World http://example.com/?param=FooBar Foo Bar

... how would one be able to convert everything to lower-case letters, except most common URL patterns (as they are the parts where case needs to be preserved)?
E.g. above would end up being

hello world http://example.com/?param=FooBar foo bar

I'm using JavaScript. Thanks!

A: I'd do something like this:
var str = 'Hello World http://example.com/?param=FooBar Foo Bar';

str.replace(/[^\s]+/g, function (match) {
    return match.indexOf('http') === 0 ? match : match.toLowerCase();
})

http://jsfiddle.net/xMPFW/1/
Depending on how specific you want to be, you could include a more complex URL check inside the callback - something like this: https://stackoverflow.com/a/3809435/1200182

A: This should work:
var s = 'Hello World http://example.com/?param=FooBar FOO Bar';
var r = s.replace(/([^ A-Z]*)([A-Z])/g, function($1, $2) {
     return /https?:\/\/\S+/.test($1) ? $1 : $1.toLowerCase();
});
