I just spent a few days trying to navigate all this. Perhaps some one here could enlighten me.

If I just want to download some semi-trusted source code. And Configure; make; run; it in an environment where it can’t access anything unless I explicitly white list it (in particular, it should not be allowed to access the internet or any network resources, but I should be able to send http requests to it)

Which variant of all these container stuff would make things simplest to set up?

Docker seems way overkill (and seems to have the wrong defaults for this need anyways) but handcrafting things with iptables or ip netns seems a bit to low level. (And, well, not “contained”... I would prefer something declarative with automatic setup/teardown)

Ubuntu snaps looks like an interesting middle ground. But it also looks completely dead.

Any tips?

Edit: should probably rtfa before asking. it actually looks like a good fit ;)
I mean, recursion is just a way of saving state on the program's call stack implicitly instead of explicitly in a stack data structure.

fundamentally recursion is syntactical sugar over loops and stacks, as assembly can show you.

C can do recursion. It can't do first class functions, though it can pass function pointers. It just can't create new functions dynamically based on non local variables, at least not without shenanigans.
Something I never understood is why people choose 192.168.1.1 for private networks.

Being all the other factors equal, isn't 10.1.1.1 easier to type and more "aesthetically pleasant"?

“However that doesn’t stop them from trying to collect payment directly from consumers. A review of some merchant agreements found online were silent on the issue of whether they can subsequently try to collect from consumers. And when we asked the major card companies whether their merchant agreements restrict this practice, only American Express responded, saying in an email that, “American Express has an established charge dispute process in place that takes into account both the Card Member and the merchant perspectives. Our policies do not prohibit a merchant from seeking to collect payment from a Card Member for a transaction that is charged back to a merchant.”

That's the point, you don't. You have to do what YOU think is important. Maybe that is important to them, maybe it isn't. The benefit to Stanford, Harvard, Princeton, etc, is that they are presented with an application that outlays a profile more closely resembling the real you. Of course, only the school itself will know what they are looking for in prospective students.

This is actually good, as it severely restricts the number of avenues available to prospective students, (and their parents), to game the system. And you better believe that students, and especially their parents, will try to game the system at a minimum. Again, many go beyond that with out and out attempts at fraud and cheating.

People might consciously site economic or other reasons for this, but I think the real reason is that education about birth control has sufficiently permeated the country that people are simply making the choice. I suspect that an overwhelmingly large number of past pregnancies were unplanned, while now more of them are planned. We’re just seeing the natural number that would occur when people actually make the choice as opposed to leaving it up to chance as was done in most of history.

The concept of asking people why they are making the choice presupposes that they have the option of making the choice to begin with.

Interestingly, systemd maintainers have consistently refused to make available a Docker compatible version of systemd to run as the init 1.

Everyone brings their own here (e.g. http://phusion.github.io/baseimage-docker/) like supervisord, runit,etc.

What would have been ideal is for a docker-compatible systemd to run inside the container.

IMHO the maintainers are bent on creating a competing standard (like this one) and don't want to build anything that brings the advantages of systemd to the Docker ecosystem.

>But then it ceases to be a callback?

No, it is a synchronous callback called in an async context. I think the confusion here is that you think that "callback" and "asynchronous callback" are synonyms when they are not[1]. A callback is simply any function passed into another function to be executed at a later time. An async callback is such a function which will be called asynchronously.

In JS, asynchronous callbacks are not allowed to return values (or well they can return values they just cannot be meaningfully accessed). Synchronous callbacks, however, certainly are.

Yes indeed, promises are incredibly good at un-nesting said synchronous-inside-of-asynchronous code.

Ehh, the economic positive to children is sometimes hard to work in. But I can’t look at family businesses with six children “employed” as a straightforward calculation.

It's kind of a cultural thing. I was not a big fish eater before I came to Japan. I grew up in Winnipeg, which is far from the sea and even now I don't like river/lake fish. But even when I had fish in Canada (or saw it in the store), it was fillets (or fingers :-) ). In Japan, you are often served a recognisable fish. For small fish, you often eat the whole thing -- head and all! I had the strangest experience a few years ago when I went to the aquarium and they had a big school of shishamo fish. The first thing that came to my mind was, "They look delicious".

I think it's just that cultural programming -- what does food look like? Once you start to associate that thing with good food, it seems delicious no matter what it is.

According to the Census Bureau in 2015 the US white population contracted (more white people dying than being born + immigrating) for the first time in US history outside of war (that decline continued for 2016 as well). The average non-hispanic white person is now 43 years old. The decline was slight, 0.02%, basically the opioid overdoses are the difference between expansion and contraction for white people.

Demographically, there are 198m non-hispanic whites, 59m hispanics, 47m blacks, 22m asians. The average hispanic age is 29, and the median overall age in the US is 38. The youngest state at the median is Utah at 31; the oldest is Maine at 45 (!).

Big cats do most hunting at night, so sleeping in the trees but wandering around on foot looking for food during the day seems like a good life strategy. Fending off the smaller daytime predators was probably within a walking ape's ability via sticks and stones.

I suspect they had to use sticks and stones for such, because they were otherwise physically wimpy creatures: relatively small jaw & teeth and no significant "claws". As they perfected defense with sticks & stones eventually they probably started using it for offense, and self-breeding for skill with tools, leading to modern humans. (Modern chimps even occasionally use tooth-sharpened sticks for hunting tree mammals.)

When the Intel based modems first launched a couple years ago there were tons of reports of worse performance. Unfortunately, I ended up getting one of those phones -- pretty confident it was worse than the qualcomm based versions. So, it does worry me that Apple will in the process of developing their own solution repeat some of the same mistakes Intel and Qualcomm (probably years ago) made and we will have a couple of years of slightly worse modems in our phones.. so not looking forward to that..
> eliminating the two party system

The US only has a two-party system because our method of voting ensures that it devolves into a two-party system. Our two-party system is a symptom of the problem, not the cause.

Give us ranked voting and proportional representation and we'll see more than two parties emerge.
Our finances are not in great condition. We have little solid support from extended family. I was recently diagnosed with a very serious illness where death is a non-zero possibility.

But you know what? We have three kids and they are our treasures. Life is hard, sacrifice is required, and more days than not I find myself struggling to find the motivation to get out of bed. That is, until my children come and say good morning...then there is joy (not necessarily happiness, but definitely joy).

Our children may not have all of the “necessities” in life, but they will have love and, more importantly, the responsibility to love others: their ailing parents, their struggling siblings, society at large.
"the muddy pens where as many as 1,200 pigs once wallowed into a climate-controlled cricket farm. It’s on pace to yield 1,500 kilograms (3,300 pounds) of the edible protein this year"

Pigs reach slaughter weight at around 6 months of age at which point it yields around 180lbs of hanging weight meat.

The article further claims a 18/63 ratio of land required per gram of protein in favor of crickets.

Assuming they previously slaughtered 1000 pigs a year -> 180,000 lbs * 63/18 = 630,000lbs is their expected cricket protein capacity which is ~200X more than their current output. Any ideas on why the numbers are so different ?

Edit: I just realized that a pig steak is mostly water and the cricket protein is likely dehydrated. So it more like 50X not 200X.

This article discusses the food culture in Schleswig, a region which was the subject of the famous 19th century diplomatic tangle, the Schleswig-Holstein Question [1].

Which brings me to a quote. Per Wikipedia:

The British statesman Lord Palmerston is reported to have said: “Only three people have ever really understood the Schleswig-Holstein business — the Prince Consort, who is dead — a German professor, who has gone mad — and I, who have forgotten all about it."

My problem with current gen frameworks is composition and modularity with components. Making components stateless and having all data come in as props from parents is good for modularity but how do you pass data back to the parent? This is where the modularity becomes awkward.

I know of two ways in vue to do this and both ways either completely break or make modularity awkward. The first way is to signal the parent with emit. This ties the parent object to a signal and if you want to pass info even further up past the direct parent you have to have components explicitly pass that signal up. While this doesnt break modularity it absolutely makes it awkward.

The second way is to use vuex as a global. This breaks modularity by immediately tying the component to a global. Vuex makes things easy but breaks modularity completely as soon as a component refrences vuex.

I understand why things were done this way. Essentially it's done to prevent a certain class of endless looping bugs but there has got to be a better way.

Probably not the answer you're looking for, but our small company, of 7 full timers and a handful of part timers, switched to Gusto for payroll about a year ago. I know our founder who had previously managed all this himself has saved himself a ton of time and stress. He's generally a frugal person, so if he was won over it's probably worth a look. Since then I've know a few other agencies who have switched to Gusto as well. From an employees perspective I have to say it's been great. I get emails when I get paid, I can easily grab my paystubs, and access to my W-2 without and issue.

> All of these agents follow a similar pattern of clothing (as I said, combination of similar garnments and colours) and behaviour (placement on the road, gesturing with authority, directly facing the car, etc.)

Repeating an assertion does not make it cease to be false. A very small handful of pictures you linked to shows a wide variety of coats, vests and shirts of many different colours, all of which heavily overlap with general garment types and colours used in everyday clothing which tend to indicate police only with small and greatly varying trim detailing (and sometimes hats). And is the clothing and trim designed to convey authority? isn't the sort of abstract pattern recognition computers do better than humans, or even at all well. Sure, you could certainly create specific police uniform training sets for every jurisdiction and possibly even cut down false positives in other jurisdictions by geofencing them (so you don't get people stopping in California for commuters wearing the distinctive er... blue shirts and black trousers of the Hong Kong police) but it's a non-trivial undertaking even if there are bigger problems for SDVs to tackle

More importantly, unlike humans evolved to have an intimate understanding of human mannerisms, machine learning has no concept of "gesturing with authority", beyond whether moving human shapes fit very specific patterns within its calibration parameters, and police officers often don't have scope to place themselves in a particular position in order to get the car to understand them.

> Google seems to understand these intentions well enough, and at a much higher level than mere word parsing.

The video shows examples of predicting possible directions of travel of moving road users based on maps and movements (i.e. its fundamental driving model) and a shot of it recognising two arm gestures in an idealised front on positions. Neither fall under the scope of being able to understand how the traffic policemen intends to clear the blocked intersection from his shouts and gesticulations at you and various other vehicles. Humans also don't need to be signalled to go again if the black-jacketed man they've stopped for was actually trying to hail the taxi behind them.
