Rackspace is getting deeper into the container game. The company today announced the beta launch of its Carina container service. Carina gives developers access to a fully managed container environment that offers bare-metal performance and still allows them to use the same native Docker tools they are used to from their local development environments.
These companies just cannot contain themselves when it comes to Docker.

Evaluate your organization’s culture and skill and make any necessary changes before starting. Enterprises need to look at cultural tolerance for risk and failure, then make changes in structure, responsibility and authority. Specific skills around APIs, open-source tools and modern DevOps practices are essential ingredients to the success of a microservices initiative.

I love Go and I just can’t help it—Go is amazing. Still, in my humble opinion, Go is a terribly, poor designed language, which does exactly opposite to what it advertises. Someone passes (on) Go, does not collect $200

It's quite well written. I did not know about Go; but I'm not so sure about the "readability" thing of the language.
I never finish anyth

The author is completely right. The use of 8 space indenting is beyond appallingly awful.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

William Henry Gates III was born October 28th, 1955 in Seattle, Washington where he still resides in his post Microsoft years. I bet he's looking forward to that big pension cheque in five years

You mean Social Security check, right?

Yeah, that thing. I can never keep those straight, but I better learn soon. So I can start collecting whatever it's called.

IBM's Watson AI has been a Jeopardy champion and a very creative chef, next up, Watson the weather man. Well, sort of. IBM just announced that it plans to acquire The Weather Company's products and technology, which includes Weather.com and The Weather Underground, all of which will serve as the backbone of the new Watson Internet of Things unit. The Weather Channel isn't part of the deal, but it will license data and analytics from IBM. Hopefully Watson is better at predicting the weather...

Ellison claims Oracle's new servers would have stopped Heartbleed in its tracks. Well, all you security guys can go home now. Job's done.

Thanks Ellison! Now I don't have to worry about software security ever cause he said so. That's my story and I'm sticking with it.

I'd certainly hope servers released this long after heartbleed would have been patched against it. 
Oh wait, he means that if heartbleed was discovered today, his customers would be safe because they spent so much money on overpriced hardware and software licenses that they didn't have any money left in the budget to start building any public facing websites to run on their shiny new moneypits.

There are potentially 13M people having their accounts abused not just on 000webhost, but in all sorts of other places due to password resue and these guys don't seem to give a damn.
...
000webhost was breached, original copy that you most likely have was dumped in March.
...
The database is selling for upwards of $2,000 right now.
TL;DR - if you use 000webhost, and there's any possibility that you've used the same password elsewhere, your accounts are almost certainly compromised.
