I agree that celebrities have a smaller chance of random murder, but fans harming celebrities is definitely a quirk of human nature. Beyond the one deaths that make wikipedia, there are plenty of crazies that get caught before being able to act, or the celebrity survives the attack with injuries. X percentage of humans are crazy, and once you have 113.8m instagram followers, that's 1,138 instances of 1 in 100,000 crazy.

The key point is that you need tax revenue to manage (build, own, operate, or regulate) public infrastructure well.

Expecting great rail, road, or internet service without paying high taxes and strong government involvement hasn’t worked out. Nothing in your post contradicts that.

In many cases, public funding was even required to put in place the core infrastructure and conditions for privately operated companies to succeed. That’s certainly the case for high speed rail in Germany.

Yeah. I'm familiar. NATO is a joint treaty that obligates all members to come to the defense of other members. It was formed post world war II at the behest of the USA in order to combat political influence from the USSR in Europe.

The USA doesn't fund NATO. Funding for NATO comes from all member organizations. All member organizations provide troops and materiel for joint operations.

The US spends "all the money on defense" because it's a fantastic government jobs program for mostly white folks.

The US has bases around the world to influence local politics. The idea that it's to protect those countries is simplistic at best.
First of all thanks for the in-depth response and all your work on runc!

> I'm not sure this is true. User namespaces were added a while after LXC first started development (from memory), and weren't safe (at all) for several years. There was a lot of churn to make user namespaces work (and both LXC and runc had issues with them).

Ah, this is news to me -- thanks for clearing that up. I knew that both projects had worked hard on getting user namespaces working and kernel changes did have to land to make it happen.

> runc has had user namespace support for a shorter time because the project is younger. User namespaces aren't particularly difficult to use (though a lot of the anciliary work is quite significant -- and LXC does a lot of things that are outside the scope of runc).

> Most of the delay for Docker to have user namespaces was purely because of Docker (and I even think runc wasn't a separate project when Docker got user namespace support -- it was still libcontainer back then).

Yup, I was thinking of the switch from LXC -> libcontainer -> CRI-shim|containerd|runc which is the reality now. Basically LXD just stayed on LXC and let that mature and got all the benefits that came along. But I also value what runc achieved because the CRI is a fantastic abstraction and fossilization of what people can/should expect from a container runtime, and runc is the minimal realization of those requirements.

> It should be noted that the user namespacing available in LXC is emphatically the correct way of doing it, and few other runtimes have had similarly correct approach. rkt had a similar idea, but never really went all the way with the extra work. Christian Brauner (one of the LXC maintainers) did quite a bit of work to extend the mapping limit for user namespaces just so that LXC could do even more with them.

Agreed, I actually use rkt for my first few k8s installs back when CoreOS was brandishing "rktnetes". For anyone interested Christian has an excellent talk[0] on this about the stuff in the kernel that had to land for all this magic to be possible.

> I absolutely agree LXC has many more features (many of them that I'm jealous of), it's just that runc is the most apt comparison to it from the Docker stack.

> I disagree it's a disservice, given that I know the LXC folks personally and they feel it's okay to make such comparisons (especially when we're discussing individual runtime issues that both runtimes had to deal with in different ways). I'd never claim that runc does things much better than LXC -- it has lots of really great engineering that I wish more people took advantage of.

I want to be clear that I didn't mean to disparage runc in anyway as a tool, they just seem (to me) to operate at entirely different layers. runc (to me) is small nimble and unix-y -- lxc is like more like a microkernel. I meant it would be a disservice to both tools to compare them.

> There are only two things that runc has over LXC: ...

Thanks for the from-the-horses-mouth comparison of both!

I had no idea you wrote umoci -- thanks for that as well -- it's a super useful tool.

Is it fair for the Goliaths to get special consideration? Why doesn't everyone get the same deal?
It's not about the large donor making a fixed sum donation - they're using the large donor to encourage even more donations with the matching, getting them more money than they otherwise would have in a single lump sum.

It's quite possible that the large donor has said I'll match up to $X even if it takes a while to reach that goal - effectively the same as a lump sum.

Especially if they're able to use this to establish recurring donations or reach out to more potential donors when they're fundraising, it can really pay off down the line.

Other people have said maybe this is a way for the large donor to optimize their donations, but personally I doubt it, there would be limited benefit at best to that, it'd only find the most popular charities, not the most worthy and those numbers are trivial to look up. If I had to guess, this is probably something the charity suggested when they were offered a large donation because they can make more from it in the end.

If avoiding undefined behavior at all costs is important, I'm not sure C is the right choice either. Rust would also avoid exceptions and eliminate most (all?) of the undefined behavior that C has.

One difference is that thinking of an ant colony as a single Superorganism is a way for biologists to talk about Darwinian evolution of ants. That is, they frame the colony as the unit of evolution.
You profile the generated code, be that in terms of execution speed or size in bytes: If it's better then it's better.

In this case C++ exceptions are practically zero cost so I don't quite believe that the compiler will generate more efficient code unless it elides some of the C version based on context (Otherwise the if statements aren't free)

relying on call order does seem kind of scary but without knowing how people structure their code using hooks its hard to know how bad it would be. for example the situation with hooks is basically:

1) any function that calls a hook function has a red colour

2) any function that calls a red coloured function has a red colour

3) if you ever have ever call a red coloured function in a conditional branch then bad things are going to happen

if you have nested functions calling hooks then you can change the order of hooks without even realising hooks are being called which is dangerous. this 'nesting transparency' where callers aren't forced to know about the hook behaviour of their sub-functions is also used as defence in the blog for relying on call order. heh

> My observation is that Agile is all about software development, tuned for software development, and for the benefit of software developers and the customers of software.

No, it is not. It is definitely not for developers benefit. It is sorta kinda good for junior developers I think, but mostly it is for management. It effectively ignores human psychology, treats developers as machines and individual developer is mostly powerless with no responsibility, no accountability and zero autonomy. It effectively amounts to large dose of micromanagement.

It may sound weird given agile rhetoric and some its processes are really good and improvement, but in it is does creates pleasant work environment in practice.

Technology certainly helps for Japanese.. when I hear a word I don't understand (e.g. from my wife), I enter it as it sounds and the dictionary gives me a nice (often short) list of translations, with hiragana, katakana, and kanji. And, due to my RtK studies (see earlier posts) I often get an 'aha' moment when I see the kanji.

Coffee makes me feel anxious, but the weird thing is that cola doesn't have this effect on me, even in large quantities, so it can't be the caffeine (I suppose; or cola could contain something that mitigates the bad effects of caffeine somehow).

The C++ code can be compiled in such a way that it has no branching e.g. stack unwinding instead, which is slower in the case of an exception being thrown - However, exceptions shouldn't be used for non-exceptional circumstances.

If a doctor tells patients to go for a run a few times a week with no additional resources and training advice, the doctor just set the patient to fail. Because they will train ineffectively getting little benefit for a lot of effort. Some will get injured from overdoing it.

If a particular method is not compatible with duties and needs of a normal employed person with a familly, then that method constitues a bad advice for such person.

I don't know, but I do know (based on reading old Engineering text books from my Dad) that steam power is way more complicated than you might imagine.

Unless you are talking botany, calling a tomato a fruit is falling for the fallacy of equivocation and too many people do this and have the pretension that they are being smart. The word "fruit" has multiple definitions, a tomato is a fruit by definition 1, but not a fruit by definition 2.

What most people understand by the word fruit is definition 2.
For me, it's the type of coffee. Often supermarket-bought coffee that's dark roasted can cause this reaction in me. Maybe it's the pesticide, maybe it's the carcinogens from burning the coffee... I dunno.

I'm pretty confident that Pynchon, in Gravity's Rainbow, composed the greatest single-sentence ode to toothpaste ever written:

"In the pipefitters’ sheds, icicled, rattling when the gales are in the Straits, here’s thousands of used toothpaste tubes, heaped often to the ceilings, thousands of somber man-made mornings made tolerable, transformed to mint fumes and bleak song that left white spots across the quicksilver mirrors from Harrow to Gravesend, thousands of children who pestled foam up out of soft mortars of mouths, who lost easily a thousand times as many words among the chalky bubbles–bed-going complaints, timid announcements of love, news of fat or translucent, fuzzy or gentle beings from the country under the counterpane–uncounted soapy-liquorice moments spat and flushed down to sewers and the slow-scumming gray estuary, the morning mouths growing idle with the day tobacco and fish-furred, dry with fear, foul with idleness, flooded at thoughts of impossible meals, settling instead for the week’s offal in gland pies, Household Milk, broken biscuits at half the usual points, and isn’t menthol a marvelous invention to take just enough of it away each morning, down to become dusty oversize bubbles tessellating tough and stagnant among the tar shorelines, the intricate draftsmanship of outlets feeding, multiplying out to sea, as one by one these old toothpaste tubes are emptied and returned to the War, heaps of dimly fragrant metal, phantoms of peppermint in the winter shacks, each tube wrinkled or embossed by the unconscious hands of London, written over in interference-patterns, hand against hand, waiting now–it is true return–to be melted for solder, for plate, alloyed for castings, bearings, gasketry, hidden smokeshriek linings the children of that other domestic incarnation will never see."

A couple of accounts vouching for the comparative simplicity of spoken Chinese:

Language Log (2014): [1] "Chinese is the easiest language I ever learned to speak, but the writing system is by far the hardest I've ever had to grapple with."

Idlewords (2011) [2]: "Don't fall for the bait and switch with Chinese or Japanese! They might tempt you with an exotic writing system, but after a few months you find out that the underlying language is pretty vanilla, and meanwhile there is a stack of three thousand flash cards standing in between you and the ability to skim a newspaper."

Yes. It was a very quick read.
The "color" you're talking about is the "use" naming convention that's enforced by the linter. So if you call a Hook, you're supposed to call your function `useSomething()`, and we consider it a Hook too.
