So ultimately it sounds like I have to wait a decade or so before we can really proliferate, and to speed it up need a few more eccentric billionaires to get into funding some cool projects.

"reticulating splines"

I guess the lesson to be learnt here is that people are more understanding if you appear to be transparent but you don't have to ACTUALLY be transparent to get the affect.
Again, consider that you are creating this dichotomy, not the tools, or vast majority of practitioners in this space. Docker comes with (and encourages) lots of ways to persist state, as do orchestration environments like Kubernetes and ECS and you should choose the approach that suits the problem you are solving. If you want containers as lightweight VM's, there are a ton of ways to do that and they are actively supported.

I'm reluctant to get off-topic here, because the narrative relating to the actual post should be "Does it makes sense to have openssh in a minimal ubuntu base image", to which the answer is "No, obviously".

I'm not really "the public face of the company". Notice the lack of a trademarked Pantone color. The official corporate identity would tell you nothing about what our office locations are like. They would however proudly tell you about heat beams to zap people and about gun turrets that aim and fire without human action, so they aren't completely boring.

What incentivises individuals to obey the decisions of courts? In the end, again, it's force, as monopolized by the state. If you don't abide by the court's decision, the state will take measures against you: it will impose fines, garnish wages, take away various privileges, and ultimately imprison you. If there were no such unpleasant and inevitable consequences, many people would simply ignore a tort judgment against them.
I feel like this phrasing makes it sound way more dystopian than it actually is. People who are tired or hungry are quicker to snap and notice the little discomforts of the plane. It's not that they're more docile, is that they're more content because it's easier to relax.

That's an idea that dates back quite a ways. Ford had a prototype F150 Lightning that used A/C to temporarily cool down the intercooler and gain something like 30-50 horsepower for around 30 seconds at a time. Unfortunately Ford elected instead to just kill the Lightning altogether at that point.
I work for a company exploring Rust and Go at the moment and it turns out there's little to be gained in moving away from Ruby for web app performance. Go + Gin is only about 2x faster than a modern Ruby + Sinatra + at "serialize some stuff to JSON and respond over HTTP" and JRuby closes the gap even further https://www.techempower.com/benchmarks/previews/round15/#sec...

There are cases where Ruby is obviously very slow compared to Go or an AOT langauge like Rust but serving dynamic web requests isn't really one of them.

This wasn't true when Twitter moved away from Ruby 1.8 but a huge amount of work has gone into Ruby since then. For example: totally new VM, GC, threading system and there's currently an open PR to add a basic JIT compiler.

Chinese Dockless Bike Revolution; Should America Follow Suit?
Buying something that is voluntarily sold at fair market value is not confiscating it.

1. Government has money. This money is collected through tax revenue, resource royalties, etc.

2. Shareholders of company voluntarily put sell orders on a stock exchange.

3. Government places buy orders on a stock exchange.

4. Repeat #2 and #3 enough times, and the government becomes a majority shareholder.

No part of this involves confiscation, any more then Berkshire-Hathaway buying, and taking a public company private is 'confiscating' it.
That reminds me of this thread where user chinacat describes taking a thumbprint. He calls it a "beyond death experience". Very interesting stuff and I recommend reading his posts.

Also, reading about a few NDEs, they sound quite similar to a DMT trip, and they seem to have similar effects in terms of how a person completely changes afterwards. The range of possible conscious experiences is really something extraordinary and most humans only ever experience a miniscule fraction of it.
My hopes lie with the open sourcing of in-vehicle processing hardware and software that is being used within self driving cars. As of today my understanding is much of that is part of the "secret sauce" of companies like Waymo and others.

If it were possible to apply kinematic geo-correction along with point filtering and feature detection during collection then a lot of the "heavy" data could be reduced down to what is just needed for human verification.

Most of their packaging is recyclable and 1 delivery driver can make an efficient route delivering goods to hundreds of people.

The alternative is having everyone drive to retail stores which is super carbon intensive and then you still end up with the same packaging minus the cardboard box (which is recycled anyways).

This could well be the problem — for one of two reasons:

Kids are perhaps less patient these days (no offense). But I remember spending ridiculous amounts of time wiring together circuits on one of those Radio Shack 100-in-1 Electronic Kits. It seemed worth it at the time.

Did we (I) have more patience then? Or was making something "physical" come to life much more rewarding?

Or maybe it's the old leading a horse to water problem....
To clarify: is this a full-time position that pays only in non-fiat currency?
One thing I haven't seem mentioned is that when you're driving yourself, you anticipate and prepare your body for the changes in direction and acceleration/deceleration, so the car appears to drive smoother. If the disengagement rate is not zero (human becoming just a passenger), you still have to pay attention to the road and people may prefer to drive themselves because of this effect, maybe with exception of the highway. If the road rules stay unchanged, the self-driving car will also usually be slower in getting to the destination, as it will be set to strictly follow the speed limits and yellow lights, and if it's too deferential to other cars.

Look at the data from the data source used in that stack exchange.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/graphics/national/police-shoo...

white killed by police: 495 (49.5%)
black killed by police: 259 (26.1%)
hispanic killed by police: 172 (17.3%)
other: 67

About 13% of the US population is black, and 12.5% is hispanic. Both groups ARE over-represented in police shootings, with black people being about 2x more likely to be killed than their population figure would suggest. Compared to the way this is portrayed in the news, however, I would suggest that these figures already run contrary to the narrative that this is primarily dictated on the basis of racist behavior by police. The fact that there are more white people killed by police annually ALONE (despite their larger representation in the population) is a fact that most people would be surprised to hear.

What really offsets the data is once you begin to include racial statistics on crime. Obviously police officers aren't just taking individuals out of the population and random and killing them (isolated outliers not included), so it would be irresponsible to just compare the racial component of police shootings with population representation. This data, however, varies greatly by area. However, in urban environments in particular, the racial component in crime is enormous. In Chicago, for example 75.3% of homicide was committed by black people, 24.6% by hispanics, and 3.5% by white people. To expect equal representation in police shootings, given those crime statistics, would be completely insane.

So the long story short is: given a straight comparison to population distributions, there is an overrepresentation of black/hispanic shootings by police. With the inclusion of racial participation in violent crime though, the motivation for police fatalities cannot responsibly be attributed to a racial motivation without a serious multivariate analysis.
EDIT: HN is doing some escaping to my example URL, so I adjusted it a little below.

Author here, thanks for the feedback!

My default use case was to use these images as background-images (via CSS) in dashboard widgets that show an accurate trend for how data has changed over time. Therefore my defaults were to hide to x and y-axis and make the chart margin 0 to fit in the widget and look "nice" across the entire thing.

But if you are or become familiar with the Highcharts chart config options, you can update any option you want for the axis via the `raw` param (see more detailed info on the params in github: https://github.com/whatl3y/restcharts). One thing you could do to one of the simple charts provided on the landing page to show the axes is override the default margin values (which is margin: [0, 0, 0, 0]) and make the x-axis and y-axis visible like so:

where [raw]={"xAxis":{"visible":true},"yAxis":{"visible":true},"chart":{"margin":null}}

your URL would become

https://localhost/chart/line?data=5,1,2,9,8,3,0,0,4&raw=[raw...

You can obviously continue to add config to adjust the language on the axes among other things. I realize this could get a little verbose quick, but again the idea was to make a simple, quick view of data, even though you could technically get as complicated as you want with the `raw` param.
They also had those progress bars when you stopped or restarted some services in an old version of Windows. They had no idea how long it would take, so they just made a logarithmic progress bar that became slower and slower, but never finished.

That trick only works once. As soon as you see that progress bar pattern a couple of times, you realise that it is fake, and it is infuriating.

Progress bars need to be honest. If you don't have any clue how long it'll take, show a spinner instead.

You are sooooooooooo wrong it isn't even funny. I'm stuck coding to Ruby 2.2 and Ruby 2.5 is looking more and more like a totally different world.

> - Mutability

Never understood this complaint from people. I just recently started playing with a language that supports immutability (Kotlin) and it is weird to me that you guys seem to be asking for constants, rebranded. Even weirder is if I write my vars' names in CONSTANT_CASE I get yelled at by the code formatter!

Plus, in immutable languages, are there cases where immutability extends to nonscalar values like arrays or hashes or objects? That distinction just feels so...arbitrary.

Is data changing that big of a problem?

> The surveillance started long before that dossier was put together.

The FISA surveillance targeting Page did not. Information about Page, and implicating him as a Russian asset, was captured on surveillance of Russian nationals suspected of being spies in 2013, and was no doubt key to the FISA application (apparently, one of the points on which Democratic rebuttal challenges the Nunes memo’s characterization is on the centrality of the dossier info to the FISA application.)

There was this essay posted on HN some time back, where the main thesis was that teaching people to be critical about media strengthened the positions of antivaxers, flatearthers and so on, because they did not rely on traditional media so they were then sort of considered more trustworthy. And now deepfakes etc throws just more fuel in the fire that burns trust, people end up more and more believing things that happen to make them feel good.
I'd argue for it to go the other way. Driving has a large cultural component -- people tend to drive how others around them do. Once autonomous cars hit some critical mass lots of human drivers are going to start mimicking how they drive which is probably a fair bit more conservative than most of these people in big cities.

I guess that depends on what "trivial" means. Given that it is np-complete any true solver needs to be able to go into exponential time (assuming p != np) which I wouldn't generally consider to be "trivial" unless its a brute force solver.

And using trivial deductions (based on the numbers in the column, row, and square there is only one possibility) is not sufficient to be better than me (and I don't consider myself to be good).

Or just ditch the kernel and initrd entirely. If you're trying to save a few MB on an Ubuntu image, you're almost certainly working in a container environment where you don't need a kernel inside the fs.

If you really do need a kernel, and the few extra MB required by modules is a problem, you should probably be using Buildroot or Yocto for your bootloader/kernel.
There isn't a lot of agreement on what the 'afterlife' is in Christianity, and Judaism has a different idea altogether.

To traditional Christians (Orthodox and Catholic), it involves the soul departing the body, experiencing a good, bad or in between afterlife, then the resurrection of the dead where they're reunited with their body at the end of the world to either live in paradise or be chucked into a fiery lake. Some mystics also describe a period where the soul wanders or is 'lost', and various traditional prayers support such theories. There's also the concepts of Hades/Sheol, Abraham's bosom, toll-houses or purgatory, and so on. Quite a bit of room for experiences roughly equivalent to some near-death experiences.

To most evangelicals, it's an instantaneous journey to heaven/hell. Protestants range from more traditional beliefs to soul-sleep to instant judgement.

For Jews, it's more of a nebulous existence in Sheol (roughly equivalent to the Greek Hades), which isn't particularly great nor horrible.

And then of course, the possibility that what every religion describes is allegorical and not literal.
