I don't think so.

It's doing a better job for most of the use cases I had recently.

You can run it rootless which makes it a far better use cases for a lot of dev use cases (where you don't need to emulate a lot of network aspects or heavy filesystem usage).

Also you can run it as root without deamon which is much better for a bunch of use cases and eliminates any problems with fuse-overlayfs. This is the best way to e.g. containerize systemd services and similar (and security wise still better as e.g. it still works well with the audit subsystem).

If worse comes to worse you can run it as a deamon in which case it's compatible with docker compose, and has more or less the same problems.

In my experience besides some integration testing use-cases is either already a good docker replacement without running it as a deamon, or the use case shouldn't be handled by docker either way (sure there are always some exceptions).

Lastly I had far less problems with podman and firewalls then with docker but I haven't looked into why that's the case. (But it seems to be related to me using nftables instead of iptables).
Miele makes the best vacuums IMHO.
Billions in unemployment fraud last year means billions in government services that will not b we going to help people that really desperately need help.
My beef is mostly hyperbole. But FWIW, my beef is with our industry. Despite my hysterical and contrived rantings, there are a few good empirical results, but those researchers are awfully lonely. There are maybe two(!) good books on the subject, Peopleware and Making Software. How many people making decisions about developing software have read either or both?

Most claims about variances in programmer productivity cite a study that is more than fifty years old. How many programming languages have been developed since that study, and who (if anybody) has done empirical research into deciding whether there are attributes of a language that have a direct bearing on productivity?

I agree with claims that automatic garbage collection, not OO, is the single most important productivity lever to come out of Universities and into industry. How do we know if this is true or false?

The question is off-topic, but as you can see it was still answered. Still, to solve that problem, a new site was opened per request of users: Software Recommendations Stack Exchange
The money line:

Building software is about more than code.

GitHub's ably and subtly positioning themselves as attractive for a much wider audience than programmers.
I think the honesty part is what bothers people. People want to know that wealth wasn't gained via dishonesty, favors, favoritism, advantage, etc. In some ways wealth accumulation, if not managed by government thru taxation or other means can snowball and can create power plays favoring the wealthy. So I think the drumbeat has to do with the 'pendulum' being perceived to be too much in the 'wealthy' phase. People would prefer to see less sharp inequality not so much the disappearance of it as that is also undesirable (being that it too is too artificial)

One of the symptoms is the spread of CxO pay to staff pay. Or companies with record profits paying near minimum wage --sure it makes sense in pure competitive capitalism, but is that what is best for society? Should we govern those disparities more, would it make society at large better (result in better educated and more productive people with reduction in crime, etc?)

Unrelated to this but nonetheless a question this brings up is how well could the world deal with 7billion people with incomes similar to middle income euro/nam/east Asians?
Y'know, I used to think he was a blow-hard, but his writing style has really grown on me. The guy is thorough, and thoughtful (if sometimes extremely caustic), and I think he helps raise the bar of commentary by way of example as well as ridicule.

I wonder how many of his detractors have actually unsubscribed from DF in their feed readers?
I'm curious about the big spike last August. Also, I wonder what caused the big page view spikes in Aug/Sept 2008?
Tetris is a nice example. It has absolutely no story, but becoming good at it, is fun nonetheless.
My own two cents: I think the United States has perceived Russia as a defeated military power with economic and internal political weaknesses. Therefore, effort should be spent there over a military one.

So one could look at where the CIA spends money to see if effort is put there over strictly military. Not that the Pentagon has been audited lately or anything...
L1 BW.

When people use BW in their performance models, they don’t use only 1 bandwidth, but whatever combination of bandwidth makes sense for the _memory access pattern_.

So if you are always accessing the same word, the first acces runs at DRAM BW, and subsequent ones at L1 BW, and any meaningful performance model will take that into account.
Yeah, you're getting a lot of pushback from the corporate drones on here, but you 100% made the right call. If you want to be a part of the FAANG hive mind, you have to be willing to jump through a bunch of hoops. The job itself is mostly just cranking out/maintaining a bunch of boring backend plumbing for boring stuff, with little to no correlation between the value you bring to the company and your compensation. Saved the company a million bucks a year? "Great, here's a $25,000 bonus." Saved the company a million bucks a year, but your VP lost a fight with another VP? "You're just not a team player, no bonus this year"
You're literally watching cops putting their bodies in the way to try their absolute hardest to stop it.
The fraud was the black voter suppression.
Right, latency isn't (much) affected by a higher clock rate. Getting ram to run fast requires both good ram chips and good controller/motherboard.

and yes, obviously apples bespoke ARM cpu is quite a bit different than Zen3 Ryzens x86 cpu, but I'm not sure it is net-better. When Zen4 hits at 5nm I expect it will perform on par or better than the M1, but we won't know till it happens!
Also, some statehouses are being attacked as well:

Yeah, there's the same kind of problem with pretty much all "mental frameworks for improving the quality of X".

If you follow the steps mindlessly, you get nothing. Potentially less than nothing, since now you appear to have more authority than if you had not.

If you use it to think better, i.e. to expose your blind-spots or do something more carefully than normal, the steps barely matter - the goal was achieved, you're thinking better.

Every system can be "gamed" / undercut if you're determined or lazy enough. The goal of these systems is to break people out of that habit (whether they're aware of it or not), they can't guarantee it's done.
I think you mean 'internment' or 'relocation' camps. The rational for the camps was to relocate people of Japanese heritage away from the coasts or other military 'exclusion zones'.

There are plenty of reasons to criticize this policy but calling the camps 'concentration camps' is factually wrong and only serves to obfuscate the rationale (right or wrong) for the camps.
That's impossible.

I can easily imagine that we achieve world peace within 50 years through two very simple economic reforms but I can't imagine that it will actually happen.
At this point we're testing the concept and seeing whether people are interested in having their most memorable FB/IG etc photos sent to them in physical form.

The problem was not in shutting down the chain reaction - that worked just fine. The problem was in dealing with fuel rods that were still, due to decay processes that nothing in the universe can stop, producing massive amounts of heat that, without active cooling, would melt them and re-start the chain reaction.
I was completely unaware of 2b. Thanks. (It sounds vaguely Shakespearean in that sense.)
Commerce... Every hump above ground, is your master.
Not sure I agree with the title. Sounds like you learned that you can't build a product from idea to finish and launch a business in a month.

I've rebuilt my project several times over the past year, I've just done it all in my spare time while working on my job. This has given me more time to evaluate and think about my changes before making them, and even then it hasn't always helped.

I do agree you need interaction with others. Right now I'm looking for any and all feedback I can get on mine. But just because locking yourself in a room for a month didn't end up you creating your own startup doesn't mean that a single founder startup is a myth.
And try to avoid creating situations in this setup where you are a bottleneck that is constantly holding up whoever you've delegated to (speaking from loads of experience). And when that happens (e.g., content needs to be written to launch), sometimes you just need to relax control and delegate.

Worst case, it's easier to tweak or rewrite something that's been already written than start from scratch.
Warm fuzzies accomplished. Donated!

Thanks. Yeah, I wasn't trying to accuse him of anything... He is obviously providing value while also indirectly encouraging people to read the book. Besides, pg had posted in this submission before I did without having a negative attitude toward the article.

I was mainly curious just how much is allowed. In a time when multimedia companies claim copyright infringement left and right, it's interesting to note the difference between print and audio/video copyrighted materials.
Before going to the Brazil/North Korea match, the ESPN announcers said they adding extra audio filters to cut down the sound.
I'm curious how this works out? When I look at the App Engine pricing it doesn't look cheap - see:

http://code.google.com/appengine/docs/billing.html

What I see is Storage 0.15/GB/Month, CPU 0.10 / hr, Transfer 0.10/0.12 / GB. This seems basically on a par with EC2 except with EC2 you can get steep discounts for reserved instances or even use micro instances for some things.

So how is it that App Engine comes out so much cheaper?
GP is trolling. No need to counter-troll while feeding. The flamebait on committing to Ruby does not invalidate his point on stdlib maintenance though.

We can sit here and ping each other with examples of cruft all day. I think it can be shown objectively that Python's standard library is better maintained. I'll attempt to below.

I'm not saying this has a great significance in picking one
language over the other in and of itself. Just that if you want to talk
specifically about stdlibs, the differences are pretty clear-cut imo.

== In terms of quantity of updates ==

- Mar 13 2007: Ruby 1.8.6 launched

- May 18 2008: Ruby 1.8.7 launched

- Distance: ~14 months

- Sep 19 2006 Python 2.5 launched

- Oct 18 2008 Python 2.6 launched

- Distance: ~23 months

So discount the amount of 2.5->2.6 changes accordingly to account
for the extra time.

Then compare stdlib changes:

- Ruby: http://svn.ruby-lang.org/repos/ruby/tags/v1_8_7/NEWS

- Python: http://docs.python.org/whatsnew/2.6.html#new-and-improved-mo...
or http://www.python.org/download/releases/2.6.1/NEWS.txt

== In terms of quality of documentation ==

Compare

http://www.rubydoc.info/docs/ruby-stdlib to http://docs.python.org/library/

You'd need to compare across actual libraries (unittest vs
Test/Unit etc). I didn't provide specific examples in links to
avoid inevitable accusations of cherry-picking.

== In terms of process ==

Compare http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-3108/ to... closest equivalent I could find was http://redmine.ruby-lang.org/projects/roadmap/ruby-19 . Anyone with a better link?
Wasn't rexml's original implementation completely replaced in Ruby 1.9, Rubinius, & JRuby? It seems like the only people who might complain about it are those who are still stuck in 1.8 land.
ah the skunkworks
Of course, the chance of there being a true positive is nill. Government equipment never malfunctions. So it's better to ban dosimeters and eliminate the possibility of a media problem.
has this actually been a criticism of Apple in the past? the major contributor to webkit?
“…tech giant Yandex has a handshake deal with government authorities to limit what news outlets the site will pull onto its homepage”

wow that sounds so incredibly different from the alternatives
You are correct that they aren't entirely correct in their predictions. So far global warming has been greater than what they predicted a few years back.
Huh. Even iPods have selectable equalizer settings (presets only, alas, not fully adjustable, at least on my iPod Classic). I guess a lot of people aren't even curious enough to look.

Definitely the case at a Harris teeter in Arlington Virginia, it was on the edge of my hearing so I could identify it... Saw a lot of bewildered parents with upset babies.
Even if it was a legit suicide, there's a reason the movie is called "Kill the Messenger". It's shameful how much other journalists focused on him rather than what he was reporting, and even worse since he was right.
The reason we don't have flying cars is economics, not physics.

Also, people tend to totally overestimate limits of possibility. We haven't explored a lot of things that are possible with our current level of technology (again, mostly because economics). Moreover, our image processing algorithms are very crude. We're nowhere near efficient use of information encoded in images (in a way a theoretical Bayesian superintelligence would). A lot of things thought impossible become possible when you start throwing more and more "compute" at it. You can't break the laws of physics, but those laws are quite lenient.
I am a former customer of theirs (in the UK) and just contacted CS about this. I'm also looking into contacting the Information Commissioner's Office as this issue is still open and my personal information (and that of the people I send cards to) is still available to anyone who may want it.

I'm pretty sure them ignoring this for a year is illegal as it involves personal information which their privacy policy didn't authorise them to publish. However I'll leave it to the ICO to make that determination.
Actually, I just meant "cities of a certain size" more than anything else.
It's the nature of politics. Free speech was useful to your party so they defended it.
Now that free speech weakens them they oppose it.

The same happens with the other team.

It's disappointing but predictable.
Hard to believe that discerning people exist!

It's the same as the claims that no one knows they are sick for weeks before symptoms. If you're unhealthy and living with that, yeah, I guess you might not notice feeling off

If so, the case for a decentralised search engine got stronger.

I am curious to know more about what lead to D lang being chosen for this project?
There appears to be a fair amount of internal dissension within the government on that point. Nuclear War Survival Skills [1], also a government publication, explicitly calls out this attitude as both scientifically inaccurate and irresponsible, as there are a number of things the population can do to dramatically increase their survivability in a nuclear war.

It looks like a tradeoff. The only place in the world doing a significant amount of long distance transmission is China. Their wind and coal resources are in the west, and demand is in the east, and transporting coal by rail just further increases air quality problems in the east. Based on what they are implementing, HVDC make sense at 800km+, and AC for shorter runs. I think it comes down to HVDC requires less conductor due to the AC skin effect, weighed against cost/loss for DC->AC.

Shoplifting and burglary are a greater concern than respiratory illness most years, so wearing a mask will be viewed as suspicious.
Who cares? Yahoo is just another ad company clamoring for eyeballs.
ah you kind of said similar things to me while i was typing another comment.

I think it's dangerous to be too sweeping with things like, "sites owned by the parent company of the ISP will be as smooth as butter."

Let me explain by talking about a net neutrality problem my clients and I had when I operated a small business, supporting small businesses.

We installed VoIP systems, hosted at Rackspace, communicating over services like Time-Warner Cable. We were pretty sure that TWC had specially prioritized their packets, but we also could not get the most reliable performance without installing a router at our customer site, and dedicating a portion of bandwidth to communicating with a single IP address. QoS sounds great when you're talking about it, but not when you are talking VoIP over it, in my experience.

So, stick with me here for a sec, pls - I still oppose TWC prioritizing their own traffic, but only in a way that I can't do for mine. So here comes my disagreement with the word 'neutral'. I do not want a neutral network. I want a fair one. It's subtle, but a valuable distinction IMO.

So, people keep telling me that "A good neutrality implementation won't outlaw prioritization", but is that true? If I'm a voter, and I am not an engineer, does that make any fucking sense to me?

Confusion is extremely bad for democracy.

Anti-competetive capitalism certainly also is.
This alone is pretty wonderful. I've only been working in Python a few months and the number of issues I've had to debug in 2.7 that came down to Unicode handling is kind of nuts.
Even a kilogram of marijuana would be somewhere in the neighborhood of $10,000. Something like pure cocaine is worth vastly more.

For this to work in the longer term, the drone would need to fly high enough to be more or less undetectable from the ground, and a long enough distance so that it's impossible to monitor all available landing sites. I don't know enough about drones or the US-Mexico border to say whether that's practical.
and some that a spellchecker may not catch, such as "brake" instead of "break"
In my case, OS X has the latest git, while Windows is stuck on 1.9, and my git folders get corrupted if I do a push on OS X and simply do a status on Windows. I guess something has changed between 1.x and 2.x but this corruption is really not something which should ever happen in a VCS. My solution is to use Gitlab instead of Dropbox only local repos.
I've tried it on OS X with Chrome & Safari + iOS. Same results.

I was there last year for a semester and had a really great time. The window of opportunity for 外国人 to come and really be entrepreneurial is less open than it was in the past, I think, but there are certainly still opportunities. This is one frame of opportunity where I think some previous experience could really be helpful; working in a garage with friends on an internet something-or-other, less so.
This will disrupt the chances of any new media startups in the UK. It is also good news for companies like Sky that compete with the BBC and have an ISP service.

Sky got good value for money donating to Ed Vaizey last election:

He mentioned that near the equator, people tend to adopt a lifestyle less focused on planning, and later that our schooling is designed for planners. I found this interesting, since a while back, in the Finland's schools thread [1], I (tried to) claim some success might be attributable to climate and was respectfully disagreed with.

Now, I'm not at all certain about the strength of the link to education, but I still believe that geography and society have a strong connection that isn't entirely explained by cultural diffusion, so it was nice to know someone had studied it in some form and found same.

I concur. I hope the courts deem them a monopoly and force them to allow alternate app loading mechanisms to all.
It's not really an angel investment either. Just like a VC, an angel typically hopes to cash out at some point in the future via an acquisition or IPO.

In this case, the investor received common stock. Which means he hopes to generate a return on his investment from his share of the profits.

This is in keeping with 37signals' focus on profitable companies, as opposed to startups which are built to flip.
I'm right around 175MB too, but for me that's too close for comfort. I don't want to worry about hitting 200MB one month. If they offered 500MB, or 750MB I'd certainly get that.

He mentions this on the comments for the 1000th video, for some reason youtube would sometimes remove the last frame.

Also he had trouble with youtube adding a small offset to the audio, to the point that he had to start editing the videos to re-sync the audio.
I don't object to a bandwidth cap. I object to not knowing when I'm over the cap and getting a $1000 bill.

I wish they would just turn off my service if I reached a cap, or at least notify me.
They didn't, it's there from at least ANSI C89 (ISO C90):
"A byte with all bits set to 0, called the null character, shall exist in the basic execution character set; it is used to terminate a character string literal."
We did send multiple car sized rovors to mars on a pretty decent budget. And have reusable rockets. So, not sure if we "can't build cool things" anymore. More so that were not at risk of global war is a driving factor for not having to innovate military much.
Not to mention the big Satanic Panic over backmasking in music and Dungeons and Dragons and women working outside the house and leaving their kids in Satanic preschools and, before that, the panic over Rock'n'Roll music and, before that, the panic over Jazz and, before that, the panic over the Foxtrot...

Come to think of it, there seems to be a panic every time the culture changes.
I forgot about that use case. I paste into and copy from the address bar all the time. But I still get myself sideways because I treat it like any other text box, and end up de-selecting the URL and having to try again!
