Docker does solve those problems, even if you and I prefer to use other solutions.

And by the way, you don't actually need virtualenv :) we run multiple webapps on a machine by just installing dependencies in a directory (pip -t) in the git repo, and then adding the appropriate PYTHONPATH in the service's startup config. As long as you don't need multiple versions of the Python interpreter, this works fine.
Before we had the technological ability to record music, musicians made their money by performing live. Then, when the radio came around, artists would perform live on the radio. I think that ultimately, this is what we may be going back to, at least in part. The record industry used to say that mp3 and downloading would be the end of music. What I think they don't realize is that music is as old as humanity.

The site's business plans are not my problem. Basically, my phone and my computer should do what I want. Why is there even an API to make a video player enter/exit full-screen mode ? That's 100% a user decision and there is no valid reason why that should ever be exposed to JS.

For the most part, JavaScript doesn't need a build system, so from a practical standpoint npm is its build system. Most JS projects shouldn't require anything more complicated than npm install to put them in the proper location. Now you can argue for something like a minifier, and things like Typescript add a wrinkle (as it actually does need a build system), but all that should still be able to be handled by npm.

I'm curious how you would use Make to install dependencies. I'm aware of Guix, but that's probably an extreme example, most people probably aren't willing to sandbox literally their entire OS install, plus it's entirely unreasonable to require a particular OS in order to handle dependencies of your project. It shouldn't matter what OS I'm using (within reason), the project should have an automated way to install any dependencies it requires.

Here's the thing with Make, even if used only as part of a build system, it's both too complicated, and not complicated enough at the same time. The makefile format when used very sparingly isn't too bad, but once you pass needing more than 2 or 3 rules it gets unwieldy, and on any significantly sized project it will need more than 2 or 3 rules. Using autoconf and automake just proves the point, now you're using a build system to build your build system. Autoconf in particular is way too complicated, and an absolute nightmare to try to extend or customize.

Instead of using a tiny little sliver of make as essentially build system glue to connect the actual build tools together, why not just use slightly more powerful build tools and get rid of make all together?

The rich typically make donations and support charity far more than any normal person could.

How is 90% taxation "sharing", sounds more like "give me all your money or you go to jail", followed by "now I get to spend it however I want". Show me the huge/efficient benefits that have been gained by the huge government expenditures. We're $20T in the hole, has it really benefited people that much.

Real wages stagnant for 20 years, household debt at all-time-high, costs at all time high. If you're going to be "robin hood", at least demonstrate that its helping (seems more like US politicians giving it all to their band of merry men).
In your explanation you say that "The SHA256 algorithm will calculate a unique hash, given those inputs.".

Obviously, this can't be the case (since the number of possible hashes is smaller than the number of inputs). It is just very unlikely, that the same hash appears twice.

I've recently become interested in where science and politics meet, and this is one subject I've been researching. Dr. Richard Haier is not named on the Wikipedia page on "Race and intelligence"[0] which claims "Currently, there is no non-circumstantial evidence that these differences in test scores have a genetic component, although some researchers believe that the existing circumstantial evidence makes it plausible that hard evidence for a genetic component will eventually appear." in the first paragraph.

It might just be that I have to do more research, but my impression from the research that I've encountered (especially the twin studies) is that G (general intelligence, which IQ is designed to be strongly correlated with) is strongly correlated with genetics, and even influenced by genetics to a greater degree than by the environment; the Wikipedia (but Wikipedia in general as well) article[0] appears highly politically motivated to me. It at least greatly conflicts with the contents of this interview.

One argument on this subject that I feel is persuasive is this: "Why have African societies been much less developed technologically and intellectually (e.g. in writing, language) than Western societies for over 3000 years? Can you blame 3000 years on oppression? Furthermore, if you say the cause was oppression, why did those races let themselves be oppressed if they were equally capable?"

The video description for your pleasure:

There is almost nothing more important to understand about people than intelligence. It can be measured more accurately than anything else in the social sciences. It differs tremendously and importantly between individuals. It is the single most important determinant of life success. It's very existence, however, remains subject to substantive debate, most of it highly politicized.

Dr. Richard Haier[1,2] has recently written a major book on the topic, The Neuroscience of Intelligence[3], summarized in the following manner: "This book introduces new and provocative neuroscience research that advances our understanding of intelligence and the brain. Compelling evidence shows that genetics plays a more important role than environment as intelligence develops from childhood, and that intelligence test scores correspond strongly to specific features of the brain assessed with neuroimaging. In understandable language, Richard J. Haier explains cutting-edge techniques based on genetics, DNA, and imaging of brain connectivity and function. He dispels common misconceptions, such as the belief that IQ tests are biased or meaningless, and debunks simple interventions alleged to increase intelligence. "

While there still exists voting along party lines, having more than 2 major parties there tends to be a little more variety in official platforms.

Recently, Alberta which is traditionally more conservative voted for a Muslim mayor in Calgary, and the NDP (Canada's socialist democratic party) into provincial office. Even our Green party gained a seat in Victoria/Saanich (British Columbia) last election.

You make a few statements regarding films: First, "I've seen this version of Make used to build a feature animated film" and later you state "I write my Make films by hand".

I suspect the second statement might be a type-o -- accidentally using "films" in place of "files" -- but in the case that it's not, I wonder if you could detail the practice of "Make films" -- seems like it might be interesting.

Verizon is already being paid to provide you with access.

This is just another scheme to milk their customers further.

This is the Nirvana fallacy. Because we can't fix everything, there's no point in trying to fix anything. For example: "what's the point in having seatbelts? People still die in car crashes." The reality is, just like a seatbelts reduce the number of fatalities in car crashes, each loop hole closed makes things a little more difficult for people to shelter their assets.

I understand the cryptographic concept of a blockchain but have a bunch of "real-world scenarios" type questions on how it actually works.

Like for example, it's a chain. I get that. But if there are thousands of people adding to the chain all the time, how do they coordinate to make sure they're always adding to the last block?

Because this might happen:

- I sync and have the latest block

- I build another block off the latest block (takes 1 second)

- In that time, I no longer have the latest block.

Do I have to get the newest block again from the "world" and then recompute?

Wouldn't this just be never-ending? And how would this work as more people add to the chain? Would I constantly be out of sync?

That's the kind of stuff where I'm completely lost and haven't found a good explanation for it.
Are you sure about that?

1. Agreed

2. While I understand what you're trying to say, I don't think you'd be remiss, and in fact, I found it a bit presumptive to assume that I advocate for Christian viewpoints being "flaunted at employees" and that I somehow need "an opportunity to understand why this is bad" as though I didn't already.

3. While it's true that as a public secular institution, the company can't make hiring decisions based on religious beliefs, there appears to be no protection from being intentionally treated poorly on a systemic level (and no regard for "behaving" unless I wanted to pony up and lawyer up against my employer)

4. The law being "paraded" is the one that would have permitted religious clergy in religious institutions to make business decisions based on religious values (i.e. I can't sue a rabbi for refusing to host my pork BBQ event on Saturday night at a synagogue).
I really wish there was a return to cafeteria-style plates and cutlery for food courts. I know that sounds weird but I feel immensely guilty throwing away plastic and styrofoam every day just to have a bit of lunch, but it's not like you can show up to a restaurant and say "here, use my tupperware for my to go order."

There's no middle ground in America between bringing lunch from home every day so it's in reusable containers and throw away packaging for anything that's not immediately consumed on premises. I would gladly pay another dollar or two for someone to give me tiffin-style lunch packed in a reusable container.

> Thats the kind of BS math they shouldn't bother teaching. Most of math is about concepts, and if 5 year olds can grapple with super-basic calculus how about teaching 10 year olds proof-based math and concepts (closer to college level) than memorization?

The times tables are BS math? The thing I've used IRL literally hundreds (thousands?) of times more than I've ever used anything from, say, calculus? The thing that yes I could use a calculator for but damn would it get annoying because I use it so often? That's what we should stop teaching?

Math things I use a lot in actual real life: basic arithmetic (drilled skills/knowledge!), basic algebra, factions/percentages (converting one to the other, and scaling other numbers by them—the basic arithmetic stuff is also vital here), and generally how triangles work. That's... almost all of it, actually. Some high-school-level stats stuff from time to time, I guess.

>not the smart people.

Sometimes it is smart to embrace this. Find a grade school student struggling with math, tell them it is easy, and they'll think themselves a failure. Instead, I find it better to tell them that math can be easy or hard, and it depends upon how one is taught. Let the student know the failure to understand math isn't due to something inherent in them, but something that can be changed. (I am assuming a student who tries or has tried in the past, if they don't try at all, that takes a different approach).

Math, as taught in school, is hard.

That said, make, being designed originally for C, and C being also known for snakecase, and early linux also known for discouraging spaces in names, I can see how this happened in the first place. What I don't understand is the lack of an implimented fix.

It's all fine for qualities that don't get tied to your (or your group's) personal and social identity.

To go over your examples - the singing case is rather clear-cut, so is the math one (barring the Tiger Mother meme). Psychological damage starts entering into "neurodiversity" sphere. And about deaf people - there are many deaf communities which don't consider this as a disability, but as a different type of experience. In fact, the right for deaf parents to purposefully create a deaf child (when normally it would have working hearing) is a topic that's sometimes discussed.

It's not a very detailed explanation, but the rule of thumb is - when there's a vocal group of people who tie some quality X into their identities, talking about discriminating on X gets off-limits in the current culture.

If you have a handful of very deep threads that have grown in just a short period of time, it's often a sign of negative, hostile discussions.
