Large Scale Vulnerability Scanning with Jenkins
Well I didn't meant it to be in negative way. Sorry its answering the `how` part of question not `why`, but whatever be the reason of `why`, the final thing that brain finds pleasurable is because of dopamine. For example, lets say a person like classical music but might dislike rap or metal. This is because his brain is accustomed to classical music and the more he listens to it, the more dopamine is released. However, in case of other genres, brain is not accustomed to it and thus the pleasure hormone might not work.
"Laughter (and humor) involves the gradual build-up of expectation (a model) followed by a sudden twist or anomaly that entails a change in the model -- but only as long as the new model is non-threatening -- so that there is a deflation of expectation." [1]

My theory is that music provides pleasure in the same way that we get from our hobbies & interests via "familiar surprises": from poetry through rhyme, from dance through rhythm, from movies through plot-twists. Our brains are pattern recognition systems and constantly distinguishing friend from foe, and listening to music we grew up with is a part of that "IFF" system.

The "familiar" - usually we listen to a few genres at most and stick to them throughout our life., and the "surprises" are the slight variations and nuances in a song - with the assurance that all is well - that give us our dopamine shot. This is very similar to wordplay in poetry, humor in comedy. I think they are all closely related neuronally.

I always wonder if all of these "bad UI" complaints translate to "it isn't exactly like Photoshop". I only use the basics in Gimp myself, and I know it has a few quirks that I find easy to work around. I wonder if Photoshop has a pile of quirks that its users are used to find find weird when they aren't there and a different sent of quirks are.
I am no expert in this field, so: why are you so sure this is impossible? If I understand it correctly, a lightning strike to the (already slightly damaged) cable stays will seek its way through the steel cables, heating them up. If there is water between the cables and the concrete, a small steam explosion will occur. If the cables are already corroded (which they were, according to the article) and thus brittle, this may cause heavy damage to them.

As the mentioned corrosion is indicative of water present, and since the cable stays are a single point of failure (also explained in the article), I personally find this a quite likely chain of events.

In tons of cases you are in fact "certain." You don't need an experiment to know that pointer chasing is going to be slower than array iteration, or that in some circumstance pulling a function out of a loop might be better but won't be substantially worse than the compiler's output.

Generally speaking, the cases where you are unsure, it's sensitive to platform details or unstable compiler optimizations, or you don't know what sort of user input you'll really get.

Or in the case of the blog post, if you don't have a good model of the execution environment in your head (because Python).
This effect works for a small or even large business, but for a multinational super-corp? Forget it, these companies are machines designed to abstract decisions away to numbers and dissolve actual responsibility.

A few months ago everybody was saying how awesome it was that the EU was regulating the Internet. You don't get to criticize them now. Or, well, I guess you can try, but that's not how things work in reality. Once the principle is established that the state (or suprastate) gets to impose regulations in an area of life, it may turn out that people you don't like work for the state also and they will do it too.

I'm not sure entirely the details, but bat hibernation is different than bear hibernation. They don't store fat. The only mechanism they have to survive while hibernating is lowering body temperature and heart rate. It's actually not a true hibernation, they go into extended torpor, they still wake occasionally to drink and mate with sleeping bats. Bats also go into a daily torpor and another one in the latest part of the night.

Many bats are actually crepuscular and not nocturnal, meaning they're active from dusk until early night and late night until dawn. The rest of the time bats spend in that lowered heart rate and body temperature torpor state. This is why white nose syndrome is so destructive. It causes bats to wake up early from hibernation and they end up starving because they can't get food and they can't hibernate properly.

It was about 6 years ago I last worked with bats. That was the leading theory at the time. It may have changed, there's been an increase in bat research since then, but knowledge about bats is fairly scarce compared to other species. There just hasn't been a lot of work done in north america on then and there's a fair amount we really don't know. In Europe and especially England, there's been more research done but, the knowledge doesn't necessarily apply to species elsewhere. Bats are really cool they're distinct than most other small mammals. They're in an order all by themselves and microbats are a huge sub-order with thousands of species all over the world.

I've found myself able to easily 'feel' music played by exotic instruments I've never heard, and from different cultures I had minimal experience with or knowledge of. Chinese music in particular is far different from anything in the west yet somehow you can definitely 'feel' it. For instance check this out [1]. Minimize it to avoid visual cues from the video and I expect most can probably still 'feel' the tale that the music is telling.

I've no opinion. All I'm saying is, if you don't give strong evidence that it is at the idea's heart, then the argument is No-True-Scotsman. Like a lot of fallacies, there's a rather subtle ground between fallacious reasoning and legitimate argument, and I think NTS is basically in a class of problems like the ship of Theseus, that play on the distinction we commonly draw between the identity of a thing, and the thing itself.

Everybody is complaining about the UI, however it is more or less the reason why i prefer Gimp to anything else. It is still a gui focused on getting things done instead of guiding you to do it.

The theory of dopamine is that there has to be strong local connections on brain for the activity the person is being kept under. Think of a song that you initially disliked but when you hear the same thing again and again, the neural connections gets stronger. When this happens, brain will release dopamine enabling brain get its reward.

TL;DR they make a droplet on a capillary tip and use the radiation pressure of sound to push it off, enabling printing with liquids with viscosities ranging over four orders of magnitude.

It's cool, but in the current approach they still need to produce a somewhat spherical droplet in order to apply downward radiation pressure from sound. So it would be hard to apply to printing of thermoplastics which might be more prone to forming tubes rather than droplets. The fact that they need a 3d droplet is another thing that will make scaling this approach interesting. Because we need a somewhat complicated 3d structure, which is a capillary tip inside a tube which needs to be longer than the droplet by some factor due to the wavelength of sound, this is going to be challenging to fabricate in bulk at the microscale like we do with today's inkjets. One might even need fairly exotic processes like LIGA to fabricate structures with this aspect ratio.[0]

It may not end up being a mainstream droplet jetting technique, but the fact they can jet liquids over four orders of magnitude is pretty compelling. Especially for research purposes

Also, the materials and methods is somewhat entertaining. It's not often that you see white chocolate, which they used as a substrate to print honey droplets on to, listed as a material used. Tuning the parameters was probably pretty tasty

> you can run the Docker daemon itself under any combination of cgroup+namespace restrictions

Not really though. The docker daemon needs access to the mount call, so it either must be root or root within its namespace.

It's incredibly difficult to remove any meaningful permissions from the docker daemon.

This is true to run any container, not just one that has bindmounts.

The docker daemon was not built to be anything but root, and running it as "docker in docker" only works with "--privileged", which is to say, with no security restrictions.
Because it is rightly ordered beauty (most of it) and pleasing to the intellect. The intellect delights in that which is good, beautiful and true. Certain types of music elicit a more base response, catering to the passions, such as EDM, or pop, tribal beats, etc. Other types of music cater to the intellect, such as classical, baroque, and certain types of folk and other genre's. Then you have sacred music, which is also prayer, such as gregorian chant and polyphony, these cause one to contemplate divine things.

Music is pleasurable in all these facets because it touches upon different operations of the soul, which in turn gives pleasure to the body, such as calmness or dopamine, etc.

All laws are inherently mandates of ethics/morals.

Lightning Strike Energy == 1,000,000,000 Joules

1 Joule heats 1g water 0.24 C

1 L water == 100g

1 cu.meter water = 1000L

Room Temp == 23 C

Thus:

(77/0.24) = 320.8 Joules raises 1g water from 23 C to 100 C (boiling).

(1E9 Joules / 320.8 Joules) lightning strike with no losses along the way heats 3,116,883g of water.

3,116,883g of water == 31,168 L of water == 31 cu.meters of water. This is a block of water 1m x 3m x 10m.

Steam volume is 1600x liquid water volume. So even if we say that 90% of the energy is lost in the transfer, that's still 3 cubic meters of water that flash-boils into steam, quite possibly causing damage to the bridge.

So: perhaps unlikely, but quite possible.

Edit: 3,116,883g of water == 3,117 L of water == 3 cu.meters of water. Damn math errors, always creeping in. Still unlikely, still possible.

If I have 10 people and 5 moral dilemmas but only 2 or 3 people care about each dilemma, then it is very likely the group will fail on all 5 dilemmas due to lack of collective action. This problem scales well to more people and problems.
