Correct. US pre-war tank doctrine was that enemy armor should be taken out with AT guns and dedicated tank destroyers (e.g. M10 & M36) while the Shermans were infantry support and to create and take advantage of breakthroughs to flank the enemy or take out supply and ammo depots. For US units all tanks in the platoon of four tended to be the same, but UK tank corps that had Sherman Fireflys available (a Sherman with a British 17 lb gun stuffed into the turret) would often run one Firefly per platoon since the 17 lb gun could engage and destroy at range any German tank it encountered. This was why the longer barrel on the Firefly tank was often camouflaged to look like a short 75/76mm gun to reduce the chance that it would be identified and targeted.

Yes, it is a hard thing for many people, I don't question that by any means. But it's not technically hard, it's mentally and instinctually hard. We have known how to eat healthy forever, you see something green or meaty that looks appetizing, we eat it. Now that has gotten harder to filter of course, but we all know what fruits and vegetables are and that things like Mc Donalds are bad for you.

Perhaps I am a bit out of touch, but I have never met someone that didn't really know these things or that more calories are bad, sugar is in everything that is processed, and that exercise of any sort will help keep you healthy and lose weight.

Psychologically there is a lot going on with people's relationship with food, but by just putting more barriers and rules and reading material in front of them is just confusing the situation.

Start small, cut back a single pop per day for example. That's 15 pounds a year in calories! Do a couple pushups in the morning. Whatever it takes to get started and build from there. If you just dump all these "what if's" and "how to's" in front of everyone they will get distracted from what they need to do and feel like they failed at something that doesn't need to be that complex.

As a species walking on the surface, no.

But we have sent probes there as far back as the 60s.
I think it's one of the two biggest reasons. The other, possibly bigger, reason is that it gives you a way to install fairly complex software and have it reasonably configured and running right out of the box.

I use Docker to run stuff like PostgreSQL on my dev box. Not so much because it's a technically superior option (in truth, it's slower and eats more memory than installing it directly on my machine) as much as because it reliably lets me get up and running in a few minutes, just the time it takes to download the image, really. All the other options I've tried invariably require some fiddling, especially if you need an older version.

I suspect that all the other codepoints that have ever been spilled on the subject are mostly just an attempt to get ops on board with it.

(Disclaimer: All above comments are a mix of wild speculation and Freudian projection. I tend to come down against using it in production.)
You can find the code for the paper here: https://github.com/matloff/polyreg

It's worth noting they do not provide enough information to replicate most, if any, of their empirical results. They recently (today) removed their experiments/ directory (can find in commit history), leaving only records of the CrossFit data analysis still in the repository.
Of course not. Bullshit petrifies into coprolites, which would then only be found in sedimentary layers. And even then you could only find the appropriate types of coprolites in middle-Pleistocene layers from 2 Mya or later.

Of course, Keynesian geology continuously redefines the speed of time and the mass of the kilogram, such that if you look at a rock that classical geology says is 30g and deposited 10 Mya, the Keynesian might say it is 200g and 30 Megayears old. Then the Chicago geologist, the Marxist geologist, and the Austrian geologist would chime in: "No it isn't!" and have a grand bout of shouting and fisticuffs. Most hard sciences actually like their units of measurement to have constant value, and their data reduction calculations to remain the same.

Like, for instance, defining a US dollar to be the money value of a coin minted from 26.73g of .900 silver, and then never changing it again.
The point of Docker is basically that the container-image developer is specifying the sandbox, instead of the sysadmin specifying the sandbox.

None of the things mentioned solve the problem of the sysadmin having to "design" the solution from the top down. Docker does. A Docker image is an appliance. You don't architect it; you just configure it. You don't have to care which OS it's running inside. Docker images running on Windows don't even care whether it's Windows Core or Ubuntu inside them, even. It's a black box with defined configurability-points.

The only real comparisons to Docker are

1. Amazon's AMIs (though nobody hosts a public AMI registry except for Amazon, so it's not really a good comparison);

2. Canonical's "snap" format (https://snapcraft.io)

Both of these achieve the same things that Docker achieves: developer-distributed virtual appliances configured by the sysadmin but "managed" automatically by the runtime.

And both are just as complicated as Docker. The complexity is necessary.
A Parlor Game at Rebekah Mercer’s Has No Get Out of Jail Free Card
This right here. Can confirm, the #1 benefit of using Docker is that 98% of our "Ops" issues has gone away.
Yeah it kinda is but you know it exists and could "acquire" it if you wanted.

In China, you wouldn't have that option.

Minimum wage laws are absolutely necessary otherwise they'd pay $1 an hour and you'd see the '25 cent store' instead of the dollar store and people living in huts.

But - as you rightly point out - a 33% jump in a short period is stupid.

It would be nice if min wage were tied to some kind of economic indicator.

But good comment.

> don't live in any type of labor reality

If we are living this, it must be some type of reality, right? I mean, if something is the reality for lots of people, you can't just claim it is not a reality. I think it weakens the argument to ignore the kinds of work lots of people are actually doing when discussing this stuff; it needs to be incorporated into the intellectual structure of the philosophy if it is meant to be useful.
Once I learned to recognize what an telephone exchange looks like, I have a hard time not seeing them. All over the place. Downtown, neighborhoods, etc. Big, unmarked buildings with no windows, mostly concrete, lots of infrastructure on top, and various telco trucks parked around at all hours.
The business belongs to the employer typically, they should have far more power over their own business than an average employee does. Inverting that is crazy. I take a job at your 30 year old business that you've run for your entire adult lifetime, now I have more power over it than you do, all because I took a job = perpetual stagnation ala France.
I think (from issue tracker spelunking) PBKDF2 got added in because at some point the PSKs weren't very strong and intended to be human-transmittable. They're still in the transport protocol. I'm not sure why, but I guess for some parameter choices it could improve forward secrecy? (That is: if you break a KEX at t=0 now you have to compute a hard function a bunch of times to make it to t=now if sessions are long-held? Seems far-fetched but...)

It's really nice to see protocols where people use memo fields to make sure one key can't be derived for another purpose though, and that is a feature you get out of PBKDF2 (but not only PBKDF2, hence my question) :)
It's not a limitation in physical laws, but the sheer scale of the undertaking that I wonder about.

Like, is the mass required for a self-sustaining interstellar generation ship, with all the required shielding needed to handle high-velocity interstellar travel (blasting through the interstellar medium an appreciable fraction of c means absorbing a crapload of high-energy particles, and the occasional micrometeorite that can't be detected until it's too late that hits the ship with the energy).

For example, hitting a little 10 gram rock at 0.1C would be a kinetic energy transfer in the gigajoules - like a small (1 kiloton) nuke.

So we've established our ship needs to have armor that's thick as hell. In order to make that economical, it must be huge. Also, in order for it to do useful work there, it needs to contain factories worth of machinery.

The sheer scale of this ship would be staggering. And then that raises the question: is there enough energy available to propel such a thing?
I've been on an actual jury for a murder trial and it was one of the worst experiences of my life. I'd rather just get fired and move on.

Philo T. Farnsworth famously invented a fusor in 1964:

He was an inventor of a variety of television technology, and I believe the designs were very similar to his fusor. Unfortunately, the design cannot be made "exothermic" IIRC, and the research ruined him financially.
I'm happy to see servers go. If "Include wait staff?" were a selectable checkbox on my dining experience, I would opt out every...single...time. I prefer to eat out as often as possible, and although I have had many wonderful experiences with talented wait staff, most act as gatekeepers between me and the food; me and payment; me and the real problem-solver. Servers often poorly represent the wishes of the establishment's owner, let alone the chef's. Good servers can certainly make an otherwise weak experience "fine", but they more often make decent experiences less-good.
Here is what I recently started doing after fits and starts to get into better shape over the years. Losing weight is relatively easy. Keeping it off long term is hard.

So instead of trying to be small, I've started to embrace the fact that I am a larger person whose body wants to be on the larger side. I started lifting really heavy weights, focusing more on adding muscle and gaining strength and a lot less on weight. I'm doing the Starting Strength program, which is a basic power lifting program.

I started in early May at around 240 at 6'1. I'm now about 236, so a little bit of gradual weight loss, but I've dropped a lot of fat and added on muscle.

I am trying to make sure I eat healthy and clean, but don't do calories counting or anything like that.

The other benefit of power lifting is that it requires you to take care of yourself in other parts of your life. You must get good sleep. The more, the better. Otherwise, your body can't require from all of the stress. You also need to eat good foods to help your body recover from muscle tears and add on new muscle.

I can understand the allure of mostly focusing on calorie counting as technically just eating less doesn't require additional time, but I have found the 3x 1-1.5 hour lifting sessions well worth it. I feel and look a lot better. Also, the focus and commitment required to do power lifting well spills over to the rest of your life. I'll provide an update after six months.
No, it's not just about "market timing". You can do everything "right", and still lose money. Long-term buy and hold investing is not a guarantee.

An entire generation of young investors has never lived through a serious market decline, and have only been rewarded for HODL. HN skews young. There are a lot of people here who are going to find their worldview painfully challenged when the market does finally turn.

The surest sign of a market bubble in an asset is when I find myself arguing with people that yes, the price of the asset can indeed go down.

American companies benefit from access to Chinese capital. Chinese companies are denied access to American capital. Given that investment opportunities in china are no better (or worse) than anywhere else in the world (efficient markets), it seems dumb to try to change the status quo, from the US point of view.
This post totally misses the forest for some trees. Docker isn't a success because it is some amazing revolutionary technology that doesn't exist in another form. Docker is a success and beloved by many because it provides a UX that doesn't require learning about a lot of this stuff upfront so you can get a lot of the immediate benefit without knowing a ton.
We're Baking ‘Have I Been Pwned’ into Firefox and 1Password
In linux you can set the umask to a certain value for usb storage devices when automounting, so again, the other os could do it. Still not a technical problem.
The bad employee does do untold damage though. They don't live in a vacuum. Good people quit over them (and not everyone is comfortable with blaming it on an individual, so management may not even know they're the reason). Workspace can become toxic. Rumors can start spreading making people not accept a job.

So you lose a lot of people by keeping a bad apple, too. In the example I gave above, at least 4-5 people I know for a fact quit over them before they were dealt with.
Depends on the function you're approximating.
Take this to the extreme to find out, "How does China owning _all_ US companies harm the US (economically)?"

Now it's obvious, it's economic warfare, and a foreign power that creates an imbalance of this nature could be reasonably classified as an invasion.

Note, the US government doesn't "buy" companies, private citizens do. Yet, I would have no issues with private foreigners buying companies, I do think having a foreign government buying companies is very bad, especially if their leader is a dictator for life.
Systems of justice are incredibly annoying, and invariably involve a lot of careful fine-tuning that goes completely out the window with every new addition.

It reminds me a little about how every time a new package manager comes out, the peanut gallery all chimes in with "well why don't we just use OS packaging?"

Package managers and justice systems hard-enforce legibility in a way that completely breaks the second the landscape does. You have to do the hard work of making a new one. Getting by with what you have only increases the workload on the already-busy humans. There are Debian packages for various extremely well-used Ruby gems. But somebody got motivated enough to do that work.

Similarly, if you introduce the wrong system of justice into a human social regime, it creates all kinds of perverse incentives. The task of preventing bad outcomes from perverse incentives then gets compounded onto the few extremely busy people that have to juggle being cops along with their existing jobs.
This is probably going to attract a lot of hate: why is conservancy such an important idea? I mean for a lot of websites, sure, I'd very much like to see that sort of thing backed up someplace but I've never once treated an Internet-based source as permanent. If I felt like it was something that would go away someday and that I would sorely miss, I downloaded it.

I just don't understand and am curious where this idea comes from that the Internet must be archived. I don't necessarily disagree with it, but it seems like an expectation that's at odds with reality.
"Stronger role for councils" reminds me of New York's community boards. The latter are churches of NIMBYism. (They also advocate for subsidized housing. But in other neighborhoods.)

London's solution is the same as Manhattan's: build more. Case in point: my Flatiron neighborhood. Our building is upper-middle income, except for a few higher-end flats. Let's call the average rent $3,000.

Luxury building opens; prices at $5,000. Not enough biters. $4,000. Highest-priced tenants in my building moved. Our building had to drop rents to (a) attract replacement tenants and (b) compete with the luxury building, which now wicks off the highest-earning renters.

That seem like a twisted use case though. I never seen anything requiring that. Given the rarity, i would just script it instead of introducing a whole new tech into my stack.
That's recycling, not reuse. A lot of energy and, I'd assume, water and chemicals go into turning these raw materials into panels again.
George Orwell was against all kinds of authoritarianism. A large portion of the left has always disavowed authoritarianism as well, so there is no conflict here.
It’s a bit dissapointing.
Solo was the only movie I actually really liked so far.
It was a fun movie on its own right with good character arcs.

Would have it been better if it was the same movie about some other smuggler don’t know but the movie didn’t really felt like it was trying too much.

The acting was good especially considering the rumors of acting coaches and reshoots we had a good villain everything had a purpose and nothing felt too stretched really.

The main star wars movies are simply non-original and the last Jedi was not as much of a bad Star Wars movie but rather a bad movie.

But them remaking the original trilogy nearly shot for shot to the point where they had to tell the audience it’s salt not snow on that planet because that makes it different and original was just laughable.
I use and Atreus, and it's a pretty excellent / cheaper tiny alternative to the ErgoDox. The soldering portion is fairly simple, though definitely repetitive.
I think it is absolutely fair to say that many, many people in the age of agriculture would not have survived if not for bread providing the bulk of their caloric needs. It seems unlikely that a pre-industrial agricultural society could even exist without bread or something like it. That's what it means for a food to be a "staple"; it is the crucial backbone of the person's or culture's diet.
It's also worth noting that economic considerations are not always paramount.
According to the "Initial release" dates on Wikipedia, systemd is 3 years older than Docker (2010 vs 2013). And one of the core objectives of systemd was to take advantage of then-still-new Linux kernel features like cgroups.
I feel so safe and protected.
NOAA Research Shifted from Climate Change to “Empowering the Economy”
I think it helps to distinguish between (A) event sourcing and (B) systems that emit events as a coordination and communication mechanism only.

In the first case, you're able to do those replays but you also have the pain of somehow controlling the evolution of that system over time, as event-definitions and the consuming code behavior changes constantly.

I think the second case has a lot more "easy wins" and is a better fit for most systems that do not require exhaustive auditing. You might keep all of the events around in a durable store, but they're more like hieroglyphics in a museum than a library book that is constantly retranslated.
This totally sounds like it can happen at Amazon. I worked at Amazon for sometime and for the first time in my life, I saw a grown up man crying because his manager was relentlessly shouting on him. I have never seen this level of heated arguments in a workplace.
To your second point, the problem is their empirical results are entirely uninteresting. Who cares if PR beats poorly-specified NN's on datasets no one claims good NN performance on? They're winning at a game no one else is playing, or wants to play.

Testing Firefox Monitor, a New Security Tool
No, but it is a good example that CAs don't require DNS changes to assign a cert. One just needs to MITM an HTTP connection for a single request. (Or, depending on the CA, control one of the following email addresses: "admin@example.com, administrator@example.com, postmaster@example.com, webmaster@example.com, hostmaster@example.com")
Silly question, but I have heard that around a fifth of the websites that you see on the internet use 'Wordpress'. 'Wordpress' is a simple blogging platform that has a really nice editor that people like working with. There are many add-ons for 'Wordpress' that enable people to customise what it does and what it looks like. These can complicate matters, however, at the end of the day, 'Wordpress' is just a neat blogging tool and does not require rocket surgery to work with.

In this age of fancy build tools and containerisation, is it necessary and advantageous to develop 'Wordpress' with Docker, Vagrant or any other containerisation?

I could see this as being helpful if you are only allowed a consumer operating system, e.g. Microsoft Windows, but is containerisation the way one would develop a simple Wordpress site if your company's IT department allowed you to run a linux machine?

Admittedly 'Wordpress' is the Hello World of getting online but I genuinely do not know if containerisation is what people would do these days for such a simple use case.

> Which technology stack would you recommend going forward? And why?

With React you have the most options and biggest community, including ways to shoot yourself in the foot. It's preferred by full stack JS guys who also use node, so it could be great if you're a startup and can hire somebody who can do everything.

Angular is popular with enterprises who know what they need (a stable environment at scale with strict rules), who have a high budget for hiring specialists, the whole framework is more complex.

Vue sits in between Angular and React, but more geared towards smaller businesses and their needs. It's very popular with PHP devs, and full stack devs who don't use JS exclusively. The main advantage is peace of mind, knowing that everything works well togehter.

Elm is very opinionated, but also very different from those other frameworks. In React or Vue you start thinking of components, in Elm you think about functionality, and create components as they emerge from patterns, potentially leading to a more cohesive and elegant result.

But that's not how designers used to work. Bridging the gap between designers and devs, and how they currently work, is the main advantage of React and Vue imo. Web designers (like graphic designers) are used to think in whole pages, or layouts, and break things down from there (top-down). React and Vue and the component first paradigm is a compromise, where devs aren't degraded into only doing the implemetation, and designers aren't degraded into doing the styling only. It still respects both roles.

Elm is basically the next level for designers, or designers who like to code. It's how design that left the analog world behind could be.
