+1 for containerd (+ cri-containerd, which is included by default now), it's served really wonderfully (meaning I didn't have to touch it much) as the base for k8s machines I've boostrapped recently -- I don't even install Docker anymore (as in literally docker the daemon is not installed or running, just runc + containerd).

The replacement of docker is a good thing IMO (though probably not a good thing for Docker the company) -- it's one of the main benefits of the kubernetes hypetrain, the development of C*I (Container <something> Interface) has been great for the ecosystem.

I personally find docker's CLI way more ergonomic however.

> Were the slave traders all sociopaths?

No. Just people who were willing to tolerate things being done to other people that they didn't care about. Sometimes even people they did care about. People forget that the 45 year old Tom Jefferson took a 14 year old child, Sally Hemmings to France as his sex slave. He fathered 6 children with her and did not free them. That's right. He kept those 6 children as slaves. Was he sociopath? Or just a product of a toxic culture that enabled him to commit such actions and still sleep well?

Art doesn't have to have something to say, it does not require a message, there does not have to be a thought-out why to its creation. It's strictly subjective, without exception. I can give whatever meaning to computer / AI generated art that I please.

To intentionally use an exaggerated example: I can urinate on a wall, tell nobody else about it, give it no further meaning or consideration, have done it for no particular reason other than my need to urinate, and call it art (regardless of whether the setup premise is offensive to some).

I can look at this image from the site:

https://78.media.tumblr.com/015901ac8ded0c711dcec8f8de7ec223...

And I can decide that is art which represents my emancipation from indentured servitude in another life when I was a coal miner for BigCorp on Mars. Or any other seemingly ridiculous meaning I choose to give it.

Cron2English looks very helpful for folks who struggle to read lines in a crontab.

I recognize that it is a sore spot for me when people re-invent the wheel when it seems clear they didn't have to and even clearer that the energy spent re-inventing the wheel would have been better (in terms of using the wheel) spent learning why the wheel is the way it is.

It is sort of the Chesterson's Fence of computer science. Don't tell me its wrong, tell me how it is right for what it does and where it falls short for what you want it to do. Cron gets a bad rap here, as did sendmail for that matter. When taken to extremes you replace working systems like init with systems that are borked like systemd. No doubt cron is on the list of things to be absorbed by the systemd borg at some point. Yes, it makes me grumpy.
We're not talking about tourists here. Immigrant workers routinely become married homeowners and parents with extensive personal and professional networks in the US and few links to their countries of origin. My long-tenured H1B coworkers would do no better upon moving to India or China than I would, save for language skills. But that's moot anyway. If the US decides to kick them out and they have to give up their current lives anyway, we'll move them to a third country with deterministic approval for skilled workers, like The Netherlands.

Americans can flee to Canada or any number of other countries which open their doors to us, just as the draft-dodgers did when the "social fabric of the nation-state broke down."

I agree it's weird to blow up citizenship as a concept. We should be talking about making citizenship actually possible for the people who are committed to it, not locked away behind quotas and waiting lists.
That's true as well.

No, they set up a multi-year governmental project. It's rather different from throwing money at a c-suite executive and telling them to hire developers.
The beautiful thing about art is that its meaning is inherently personal and subjective. What the computer is trying to say is secondary to what the computer is saying - more importantly, rather, what it's saying about its dataset. Even how the works are presented could be interpreted as an artistic work in and of itself, the presenter being the artist.

I think these are art, since they affect me in the ways which I typically associate with art.

Docker is too heavy for golang, which is all I use scaled horizontally anymore. I can easily create a binary for any operating system. With dep (and even more so vgo) reproducible builds just really aren't a problem with golang. But when i've got a virtually unlimited number of green threads I can spin up with goroutines, why do I need to containerize to scale horizontally?
That's well thought out!

Idempotence can be very helpful when one strives for resiliency.

Suppose you have an application that processes tasks that (among others) call an external API.
Both external API call and task processing can fail independently. Moreover, task processing can fail after API call succeeded.
If you the external API is idempotent, you can simply retry on any task processing failure, no matter when it happened. It can simplify error handling a lot.
> Type 2, you body is simply not making a sufficient amount of insulin to get the desired effect.

No, that is type 1.

> In many cases, this is because the individual has developed "insulin resistance" but the pancreas is producing what would be an adequate amount otherwise. And this is usually due to "fat", as in, fat stores in that individual. It is not directly related to consumption of fat.

Indeed, but the body prioriteses food, and it's easier for the body to store saturated fat than carbs, and since people in the western world where diabetes and other heart diseases rule, over consumption of whole-food carbs doesn't, but instead oils and other fatty-food does, so I'd say that is more likely the cause. Also the studies done supports this. You could check out this[1] 5 min video and this[2] that talks about a few studies that showed that insulin resistance decreases and diabetics of 20 years gets off insulin in mere weeks, on the same amount of calories, after they switch to a diet that prioriteses whole-food carbs over fat. All studies referenced in the videos are linked to.

Adverse possession wouldn't wipe out a properly recorded lein. Of course, it doesn't seem that the lein was properly recorded. You could maybe sue the leinholder to provide proper documentation or abandon the lein, but you run the risk of the leinholder finding enough documentation to convince a judge, and making the lein valid and enforceable, instead of vaguely maybe not an issue.

Or, maybe you just pay someone to "find" the documents, and hope the leinholder doesn't notice or doesn't care. This case seems murky enough that even a potential recovery of $1M might not be worth it for the leinholder.
Ask HN: Non-solicitation agreements/cofounders
How are non-solicitation agreements typically viewed for colleague leaving to start a business together?

For instance an engineer and product manager decide to leave a company that they’re both working for to create a startup in a non-competing space. Are they opening themselves up to liability for “soliciting” each other to leave their current job?

Disclaimer: not looking for legal advice, and if I actually needed it I would find an employment lawyer. I’m merely curious and my searches are coming up empty and tend to only focus on the customers/sales aspect on non-solicitation.
Just don't talk about that, or spin it by saying that you're looking for a job that will challenge you. Ultimately it can't be worse than having no job.

After reading this, I'm glad to be living in a country which uses Torrens title.
The problem is that when you release pressure on anything but water, as the CO2 starts to come out of solution it bubbles up and tends to spill out of the bottle.

I'm sure there is science on this but my naive guess is that this is partly because theres more nucleation sites to bubble more, and then the non-water fluid will "soap" up a bit for lack of a better description (form bubles) causing it to then spill up and out.

You can get around this by releasing the pressure slowly. Some models of SodaStream (e.g. the Source) let you do this and others do not (e.g. the electric model).

As a secondary concern if the fluids do spill up out of the top into the valve area, it gets stuff on the seals etc and it doesn't seal as well later. Lower pressure = less carboned. And it's very easy to do this even releasing the pressure slowly.

So; yes.. but.. no. If you want to do that regularly, you're better off making some other kind of solution I think. It's pretty easy to make your own rudimentary sodastream. (and as others stated, they specifically tell you not to do this)

I should've been better with the tone. My view still holds.

I know programmers who've written large swaths of Haskell and OCaml, who however reach for the eminently dynamic Racket for its metaprogramming. They know the relative strengths of each paradigm better than most of us and have fine judgement. However junior programmers (<10 years) who haven't spent the effort required to learn other paradigms and are religious about whatever language they chose to learn as an accident of history are missing out tremendously.

Most of the static vs dynamic type research has always been about C++ based static types (which combines Simula-67's object system with Pascal's types - more history here: https://twitter.com/jasim_ab/status/991948718508130304) contrasted first against LISP and later with languages like Python, Ruby, and Javascript. Statically typed FP is totally different, and there are papers on either side of the bias to point to. I will recommend the Elm Language as a good starting point for anyone interested in seeing what Typed FP truly can be.
Right, so the tree absorbs the carbon as it grows, and it's released when it's burned. So having giant stockpiles of wood produced by a large-scale tree farm for the purpose of carbon sequestration sounds... well, that doesn't sound ridiculous, at least in minecraft terms. (I'm sure there's some economic reason we don't do this.)
Interesting, never thought about applying idempotency to the more traditional programming areas like web dev, although I would like to think I develop my apps like this even without thinking about it in terms of idempotency.

For those who might not be in the know, this is a crucial concept for IaC through tools like Puppet/Salt/Ansible etc, as it allows you to think/program infrastructure configuration as a state rather than scripting everything and having to take account of all the minute states that may exist on a legacy or well entrenched system.

Ugh. Geeze. There are so many really horrible, permanent, life-shortening-if-not-absolutely-lethal diseases that will basically make people never buy another plane ticket again, just to think of that possibly happening to the rest of your previously reasonable, but now ruined life.

Say what you will about officers of the same gender, and whether or not that precludes sexual pleasure being experienced on the part of the officer. That anyone has ever been lined up next to three complete strangers at an airport, and had that happen, should strike mortal fear into the hearts of anyone setting foot inside an airport.

More than planes disappearing over the ocean without any known cause. More than planes being willfully smashed into moutains or buildings. That one should cut right through the rest of the noise.

Standing in a room, effectively at gunpoint, with two angry women (who either have no medical training, or having medical training and maliciously deviate from it for their own reasons), and find yourself forced to share fluids from the orifices of three strangers.

Imagine this same story taking place in a private hangar, a strip search at gunpoint the hands of a Cessna pilot acting as a private citizen, that results in accidental transmission of a life threatening disease. This is the kind of physical transgression that puts ordinary criminals in jail with multiple life sentences, as violent offenders.

"Almost completely ignored by the modern world, this month marks the 500th anniversary of one of history’s most tragic and significant events – the birth of the Africa to America transatlantic slave trade."

A (relatively) small step in the right direction: The slave trade and its origins is one of the primary focuses of the incredible new museum in Washington DC: the National Museum of African American History and Culture (NMAAHC), steps away from the Washington Monument. This museum is a national treasure. I highly, highly recommend it to anyone who might have an opportunity to visit. The subject matter, the incredibly detailed and thorough exhibits, the culturally infused architecture, the underground memorial, and many other factors all combine to create one of the most engrossing and memorable museum experiences in the US. It's a must-see if you're in DC.
A quick look at the front page (https://jenkins.io/) suggests this is still the focus: "The leading open source automation server, Jenkins provides hundreds of plugins to support building, deploying and automating any project.".

I think this is a case of everything looking like a nail to someone with a hammer. Just because you need a solution for scheduling and jenkins does scheduling doesn't make it the right tool for the job.
