The reason why lazy docker exists:
"Something's not working? Maybe a service is down. docker-compose ps. Yep, it's that microservice that's still buggy. No issue, I'll just restart it: docker-compose restart. Okay now let's try again. Oh wait the issue is still there. Hmm. docker-compose ps. Right so the service must have just stopped immediately after starting. I probably would have known that if I was reading the log stream, but there is a lot of clutter in there from other services. I could get the logs for just that one service with docker compose logs --follow myservice but that dies everytime the service dies so I'd need to run that command every time I restart the service. I could alternatively run docker-compose up myservice and in that terminal window if the service is down I could just up it again, but now I've got one service hogging a terminal window even after I no longer care about its logs. I guess when I want to reclaim the terminal realestate I can do ctrl+P,Q, but... wait, that's not working for some reason. Should I use ctrl+C instead? I can't remember if that closes the foreground process or kills the actual service.

What a headache!"

And war stories like these are similar to what I have experienced: https://thehftguy.com/2016/11/01/docker-in-production-an-his...

I agree.

I've been to berlin about five times and I've never used a car or taxi. I'm not afraid of walking so I walk to the hotel from a public transport stop, most I've experienced is around 2 km.

While there I find riding a bike a superior means of transportation. You can even rent electric ones and Berlin is _flat_. Also the public transportation works well. I've not been to Rhine-Ruhr area but down south around München it's not so good but still passable, I didn't need a car there either. It was a bit slow though when going far like München - Erding.

Amsterdam is pretty good although I wish the trams would run a little longer in the night. There are always buses and rickshaws though.

London I wouldn't even dare to drive, they do it on the wrong side! But I've never needed a car there either.
It can be profitable without being outrageously profitable. This sort of reasoning reads to me like the news articles saying there is "nothing to be done" about all the shootings in the US, even though it's obvious to everyone what could be done. It's excusing bad behaviour because of cargo-cult beliefs without a good practical foundation and it has to stop.
The (European) city I live close to has done this very step about 30 years ago when their main shopping strip was converted to a pedestrian / bike-only street.

However, everytime I go there, the street is still full with cars: delivery trucks that bring the retail goods to the stores (which are not easily accessible otherwise), construction trucks for the apparently constant repairs they're doing on the road, ambulances, etc. Even when most of them are not driving you're still constantly surrounded by (mostly big) vehicles.
What's interesting to me about this --- and I've got no firsthand knowledge of the markets --- is that Apple doesn't have to outbid brokers; a broker could offer 50% more than Apple, but that comes with an X% uncertainty penalty. You can sell to Apple and pocket $1MM, or try to structure a deal for $1.5MM and gamble that the bug will survive. I'm betting that's often not a good deal; the lump sum payment is the better option.
This is a tangent but is that what it appears to be? Some people must really like associating with their blackmailers if that's the case.

>> The warrant stated that: "the optical detector in the detector van uses a large lens to collect that light and focus it on to an especially sensitive device, which converts fluctuating light signals into electrical signals, which can be electronically analysed.

This "especially sensitive device, which converts fluctuating light signals into electrical signals" sounds remarkably like the human eye.

Those signals, of course "can be electronically analysed". Emphasis on "can". Equivalently, "could".
I don't disagree. And maybe students should go elsewhere. Maybe our society should rethink what qualifications it seeks of prospective entrants to the labor force.

What should not change, however, is the fundamental nature of academia. That model is inviolate and has propelled much progress in our species' collective knowledge. In fact, I think the hijacking of higher education as an assembly line to furnish credentials wholesale is an unforgivable adulteration of that institution.

This is silly. Apple is going to have bugs almost no matter what they do, as will Google and Microsoft.

It makes sense to invest way over the top if you can kill bug classes outright --- and Apple does this, too. For example, people that were doing DMA hardware attacks against macOS a couple years ago are now on Apple's payroll, designing hardware to defend against those attacks. That's a meaningful serious investment in defense. Rewriting their kernel in a memory safe language would be another example (one they haven't done yet).

Massively outbidding the current spot price for a bug doesn't accomplish anything like that. Think about who they're really bidding against. They can drive the price of bugs way up, and they are doing that gradually, but there will still be a price and people selling them.

The important thing they're doing on this is making unlocked devices available for researchers, and lowering the bar for research for people who would never sell to brokers.

One key differentiator in my opinion between Google and Huawei is how they treat their own employees and partners.

I've worked closely with Huawei on a number of projects and they really work their employees to the bone, with terrible code, non-existent procedures, and a stressfull existence for everyone involved as a result.

>Should Facebook be able to take a hyper-specialized application of a common feature and patent that particular application? It comes down to whether their implementation is unique and distinctive enough to be novel and non-obvious.

No, because in the context of current state of communication software it was totally obvious to translate the idea of shadow banning to a “friend-based feed”.

A huge company shrinking the space of available programming techniques for no good reason by abusing laws that were supposed to boost innovation is pretty worrisome.
It’s not that hard to understand. People want to take their cars shopping with them. Walking home with your shopping, catching public transport with your shopping, dragging your shopping around from one place to another, are all either inconvenient or impossible depending on what you’re going shopping for. Unless I can easily fit everything I intend to buy in my bag, I’d want to take car with me.

Consent, privacy, and concrete interests (possibly includes systematically influencing politics) are all central to this debate.

Secondly, the law is not alien to punishing the same outcome differently based on the tool used. Punching someone, knifing someone, shooting someone, or throwing a bomb at someone will carry different punishments - even if the resultant harm to the victim is roughly the same.
I saw this in my Twitter feed a few days ago. Some hilarious comment included "Return of the yummy".

I've actually been experimenting with sourdough recently. It's very easy to get started with this and even the failures are pretty tasty. All you need is clean water, some decent flour and about 7-10 days to turn that into a stable sourdough starter. After that, you can just keep on growing it and baking bread, pizza, pancakes (oh yes), etc. Dangerously delicious. I could use less carbs in my life, though.

I browsed through their Portland map at length and was disappointed to see how many listings there were in private property where the commenters were clearly not the owners.

This is trespassing, and theft. My landlord years back planted an Asian pear and I don’t think she ever got a single piece of fruit because someone cleared the whole tree two years running. It was by the porch, up a decent flight of steps, not on the sidewalk.

Don’t be an asshole. Don’t do this, and don’t put up with people inciting others to theft.

If you notice a neighbor isn’t picking their fruit at all, talk to City Fruit or a similar group, and they will approach them about getting permission to glean. Then everybody wins, including the local food bank.
Clojure is a really interesting example because it's newer than things in the "churn" list. It's an existence proof that "newness" and "churniness" don't go hand in hand. What causes "churn" isn't the tech, it's how the ecosystem around it works.

If you are absolutely determined to inconvenience other people then congratulations; everything can be political because you have the power to make it so.

However this is a hostile approach. If you can't get results through the usual political channels, trying to inconvenience the neutrals into compliance is a dodgy way of proceeding. I'll accept that nobody in politics plays fairly, but the people being harassed by an organised protest are completely reasonable in claiming that they were apolitical and the protestors are forcing politics upon them.

We have a word, 'apolitical', because it is a possible state someone's opinions can be in.

What's stopping them?

In my experience, the people who actually want to work at startups tend to be either (a) very young engineers, who have more risk tolerance and perhaps more naiveté, or (b) people who worked at a successful company (e.g., FANG) and set aside a comfortable nest egg, and therefore also have high risk tolerance.

I don't think people will stop consuming meat if you ask them nicely. You have to make decisions that will hurt the meat industry and make it infeasible.

This would likely best be achieved through slowly dropping tax incentives, and transferring them over to alternatives so that people have something equally economical to today's meat.
The Thatcher years were harsh

That's not really fair is it? They started harsh because the country was a wreck when she was first elected. The miners went on strike because they were used to being able to topple governments by doing so. The obsession with inflation came about in contrast to the previous obsession with employment figures, yielding a country with full employment but sky-high inflation. Thatcher argued that was wrong and you could have full employment with low inflation: several boom economies since then have shown she was correct.

After Thatcher had won three elections Britain was a first world country again. You don't see many people pining for Britain in the 70s with all the strikes, electricity outages, bailouts and 3 day weeks. Blame her for the poll tax, sure, but even then those riots were by people who wanted unfair taxation: they defined "fair" as some people having to pay more for the exact same services than others do, something nobody tolerates in the commercial world.

Remember there was no such thing as society

You're selectively quoting Thatcher here, as her ideological enemies do so often. She was pointing out that when her opponents said "society will pay for it" there was no such thing as an abstract, disconnected, third party entity labelled "society" that would magically inject money into Britain - that what such people really meant was "my neighbours will be forced to pay for it".

http://www.margaretthatcher.org/document/106689

Here's the full quote:

But it [people living on benefits/blaming society for their problems] went too far. If children have a problem, it is society that is at fault. There is no such thing as society. There is living tapestry of men and women and people and the beauty of that tapestry and the quality of our lives will depend upon how much each of us is prepared to take responsibility for ourselves and each of us prepared to turn round and help by our own efforts those who are unfortunate.

Doesn't sound so bad when you realise her alternative to the word "society" was "a living tapestry and men and women and people", that this tapestry is "beautiful" and that the quality of our lives depend on "how much each of us is .... prepared to turn round and help by our own efforts those who are unfortunate".

It's ironic yet totally unsurprising that her argument against imprecise socialist double-speak is now usually referenced via a selective quote designed to make her look inhumane.
Then you still have 20 years to switch everyone over.
I think that's a great place to draw the line. Societal norms were established before we could do behaviour-type actions at economies of scale. And most of the ills that have been brought to society have been caused by consequences unintended precisely because we are still calibrated for human scales.

If we had somehow ended up inventing cameras after computers, it's conceivable that we might have regulated them.

Road laws were changed when we switched from horses to cars. The same framing as the parents comment might result in the argument: "Cars are exactly the same thing but faster, why change things?"

But this time the machine processes themselves are controlling the way we talk about them.

There are many groups that say they do this work, but very few that actually do. Then you have to move yourself internally until you are actually doing work that is the greater good.

What is the greater good to begin with? The flexibility of human understanding and the breadth of types of companies with "good intentions" available means that the search for such a mythical group is something that can take a lifetime and still not yield any fruit.

There was a year-long module on engineering ethics included in my M.Eng. degree course. We discussed the usual "software engineering failure" stories - THERAC-20 and so on.

In my experience - the overwhelming majority of students just wanted to pass the module, had no intention of contributing. I asked a friend in the same class what he thought of it, and he responded:

"What does it matter? I'm going to be working for a company, and they'll have rich lawyers. Any problem can be made to go away with enough money. All I need to care about is my pay cheque."

I'm doubtful that much change can come from personal choices made by consumers. It seems to me that it would require tremendous energy and commitment from a very large number of people to significantly reduce the global demand. It seems to me that it's much more effective to raise the price or to reduce the supply (something like quotas or cap-and-trade).

Can anyone point me to examples where my thinking is wrong, where changes came from the demand side?

Or you could try engaging with the system directly?

There are a lot of political movements that achieve a huge amount without getting serious about protests. Any modern democracy gives people the option to get involved with shaping how the government works.

Waving the broad brush of generalisations, usually the people protesting are doing so because is because they have no chance of getting the numbers to effect change - because the majority simply doesn't care about whatever their special interest it, or will actively resist it because it is secretly a fringe issue. If they have a chance of capturing majority opinion, they'd be too busy using effective channels rather than protesting.
