Docker manages dependencies and libraries as well as whoever created the docker images manages those dependencies and libraries.

Most of developers that are suddenly becoming more productive with docker do equivalent of a full install of an distribution that they run in production, call it a container and get the claps from management because "We managed to do it faster". Never mind that the surface for brokenness is now even higher than the surface for brokenness on a VM that the container is going to be ran on had the VM got the full install of of the distribution.

> VirtualBox feels like installing a regular computer. It takes a long time and is a lot of manual work. If you want to change something you login on the existing VM until you reach a point where you no longer remember all the changes you've made over the years. The machine is unclean.

That's because in this approach no one bothered to do equivalent of what one does when creating a docker image - write chef/puppet/salt/ansible baseline configuration so the new VM is nothing other than "base-VM + special config for this function".

It works the same in healthcare. If we are cured once for good, they charge us once. If there are good prophylactics and we stay healthy - even worse.

Yet, somehow the system works, to a certain degree. (Why? I don't know. Maybe there is more stigma with destroying someone's health for monetary gain.)

...

Maybe there should be a service, for which we pay ONLY during times when we are healthy (or have happy romantic/sexual life)? In that way, the incentives would be aligned.

Any ideas of how to do so?

As one remark: a lifelong relationship is not the only goal of dating. Some people look for a short-term, or even an ONS. Also, if a relationship goes bad it is better when it does not stays for a lifetime (in the worst-case scenario, when one's life ends with a murder, or - suicide).
How about "Forty-two"?
Taxis usually don't have surge pricing which can end at any moment.

Also they usually charge you based on the distance actually travelled, not a predetermined price so they can afford to make detours.
This is actually a much better explanation of the problem than the main article.

The main article kept saying that p values were not meant to be definitive, but without explaining what was wrong with them. At least, not very clearly.

This comment is a much clearer explanation -- imho -- as to what goes wrong in the industry. I also think it is right to focus the attention away from a particular statistical measure.
Not haunted, the man in the moon simply dug further down into the cheese layer beneath the lunar regolith when we got there and started poking things with flags.
I don't disagree with you but I think perfect is the enemy of good in this case. Changing copyright a little bit to allow fan-art is a much smaller problem than dismantling copyright in it's entirety and we can work on both.
> I use Ansible all day every day -- it's not comparable container tooling in the slightest.

Only if you are not actually cleanly managing containers. With containers you just pile the shit into them, close the doors and say "Oh look, we have a clean surface!" which is certainly fine in the dev.

If it is fine in production, then it does not matter if the shit is in containers, VMs, dedicated servers, etc. Container may as well be curl http://mylservice/containername.img followed by dd if=containername.img of=/dev/sdb ; set-boot-flag-sdb ; reboot

How is a full body swimsuit less hygienic than any other piece of swimwear?

When looking it up, it looks like the actual claim is a mix of hygiene (not specified) and "upholding secular values", so it's absolutely an attack on displaying religious affiliation in public. Does that mean they also ban crosses, kippahs, and Dastars, or will they continue to target a specific religious group?

They seem to somehow relate terrorism with everyone who follows Islam, but that's like banning crosses because some predominantly Christian group commits an act of terrorism (white nationalists are often Christian).

Agree 100%.

I tell people who are speaking for the first time that it is likely they are among the top 1-3 experts in the room on their subject (unless it is super basic). This is because knowledge is so vast, and, in the tech industry, so ephemeral. (Some kinds of knowledge aren't ephemeral, but many kinds are subject to rapid evolution.)
Amazon is running into similar issues too with counterfeit items and other scammers. In fact I think this happens with any sufficiently large ecommerce platform

It all boils down to inability to scale. These companies have internal narratives that they will scale completely horizontally and that they can automate everything. But at the end of the day I don't think anybody has eliminated the need to perform due diligence on their supply chain. What's strange is that Etsy and Amazon would rather their brands be damaged than hire more people to police what goes on their platforms
Okay sure, maybe loophole was poor wording but my point is that this really shouldn't be considered infringement and that you should be able to sell fan-art.
I must be missing something. Why is this significant?

None of those places are meant as hangout locations, and all of them require paying. Malls were useful to kids because being there was free for essentially an unlimited amount of time. Sure, you'd buy a soda once in a while, but that's not enough to be allowed to spend 4 hours in a bar or restaurant.

A closer use case would be neighborhood centers, but in my area, those are mostly closed in the evenings or at least reserved for private use.

It was the last (possible) number under 100 to be confirmed as the sum of three squares.
It shouldn't be infringement... because you don't want it to? There is nothing special about fan art that lets you break the law even if some copyright/trademark holders have a benevolent attitude toward it.
Someone once told me an old USSR joke that went something like this:

"What should a student know?" "Everything"

"What should a lab technician know?" "Almost the same as the student"

"What about a graduate?" "In which book is that thing that the student should know?"

"And the associate professor?" "Where is this book?"

"And the professor?" "Where is the associate professor?"

it really depends on your use case! d3 is basically as close to the metal as you're going to get with visualizing data in a browser.

Yes, but 42 was hard.

I believe it’s the lowest number that did not have a known solution for x^3 + y^3 + z^3.

This is just the start, they are expanding the surface area using Web Components pretty rapidly.
Yes, the interesting thing is that prior to this it was suspected, but not proven that 42 was the sum of three squares. This was the last number under 100 to find a solution for (for the numbers where a solution is possible)
I've read this for years, and I'm still not sure I buy it. It smells to me like the same sort of thing as when pundits say Some High Ranking Executive in Govt(tm) does something nonsensical it's because of some cleverness or cunning that we just can't see, when my suspicion is that he is just nonsensical.

33 and 42 were known to be exceptions of all sums less than 100 for which solutions were found, until recently. 42 was the most recent to fall.

Interesting. I've used PHP on the IBM i Series, for the sake of not using COBOL or RPG (...or C, or C++ - since I'm most familiar with PHP).

I think it really does just come down to what language you're most familiar with.
For context, 42 was the only remaining number below 100 where it wasn’t known if this was possible. The general problem of exactly which numbers are the sum of three cubes is unsolved.

Nah. Point stands, attack can survive the restore inside Office docs because macros are generally allowed.
It astonishes me that so few HNers have (evidently) tried to start businesses. The staggering regulatory, tax and accounting burden that small business are groaning under is incomprehensible, unless you've experienced it.

I'm a Canadian, in a super-simple business (no payroll, no significant hardward stock) and we are forced to spend double-digit percentages of our gross income just to stay "compliant" with regulations -- and our big, national-level accounting firm is still not certain that we are!

In my opinion, any small business owner that thinks they are complying with regulations is probably deluding themselves; one false step, one "investigation" by tax or regulatory authorities (of, if they get on the bad side of someone in these offices) -- and they are toast.

So, before you go about chanting in the streets for more regulation, think about who you're hurting.

Any company with an office tower, with several floors of lawyers and accountants is laughing at you, for being a "useful idiot", working on their behalf. They can trivially comply.

Because, remember -- they wrote the legislation. Your esteemed member of parliament or congress person doesn't write legislation. At best, they might adjust it after it gets dropped on their desk. The lobbyist, and the corporate lawyers and accountants who oversee them, wrote it, and gave it to your legislator.

No. Most people I know would have no idea what a plus code is, it was much easier to just edit the address on the map and move on.
Very true.

I can't count the number of people I worked with who sold me their dev team as the universal weapon for software engineering. Just to see them cobble together a solution on outdated tech that they didn't even understand half as good as they said.

I think we should be more humble. Which is hard, because everyone wants to be seen as valuable.
Eventually companies will pay people to get up to speed on older technology like RPG and COBOL. For sure, they are fighting it hard, but I don't see a lot of other options. It's harder for me to imagine all of this legacy software being replaced with new code.
I tried selling some blacksmithed items I created on etsy and found it really hard to even get views. I was able to sell a few steel ladles I forged to a local craft store, but I failed big on the internet. Ah well.
To some extent, for some time. Consider the adoption bell curve; I think California has moved from the "innovators" stage to "early adopters" but the country as a whole has not. Consider also what the saturation point for electric cars will be in the near/medium term - I doubt that the other end of the bell curve is 100% adoption.
> Yet, somehow the system works, to a certain degree. (Why? I don't know.)

Well for starters, there is still some level of competition in the pharma industry. If you're trying to make a better version of a competitor's product, changing "It makes X go away for 2 weeks" to "It cures X" is a good strategy.

Secondly, it's not as though we can program treatments to act in exact accordance with executive whims. We use what works.

(To be clear, none of this is to say there isn't a problem. I am listing reasons the situations is not as disastrous as it theoretically could be.)

He may not have needed to attend, today. I think as the academy cuts its stomach to spite the truth, you'll see more independent research occur at a greater variety of places. With the innovations in methodology coming down the pipe, the quality of research from people who may not even be formally trained will improve; pre-registration, more flexible delivery of research data, the radical expansion in the availability of base knowledge.

Basic research will probably suffer, but that seems not to be a concern of the people running those institutions into the ground. I do hope we can find some way to encourage competent people to do large volumes of basic research, and aggressively reproduce studies which are cited.

Americans buy altogether too much education: you can buy all the mechanical keyboards you want, but you'll still have to actually learn to type.
You are being downvoted because you're preaching a terrible game programming mistake as the only reasonable approach.

I didn't downvote you, but I wrote enough games to hope no young programmer takes your advice.

Games, as iteratively developed creative products, always interweave engine with content. Trying to write a generic engine in parallel to your game is a surefire way to never release a game.

Even if you set out in advance to write an engine, you should do like most market leading engines and develope a game first, then extract the engine out from it (Quake, Half Life, Unreal, Far Cry... the only counterexample I can think of is Unity, wait no wiki says "Over the Edge released its first game, GooBall, in 2005.[4] The game failed commercially, but the three founders saw value in the game development tools that they had created to simplify game development, and so they shifted the company's focus to create an engine for other developers.")

Yes. They are often targeting IT providers of SMBs by phishing/otherwise compromising their credentials, and deleting backups before encrypting. It works sometimes, 2FA hygiene and secondary site redundancy are usually good enough to protect you.
Most of that sounds like things that can be tested for, rather than just tossing code over the wall and waiting to see if it catches fire.
It is already a problem when national policy discussions practically ignore one out of five people.
People usually choose to be vegetarian for "animal rights" reasons, not health/medical concerns (though those two are certainly contributing factors). It seems unlikely that there's some self-selection going on since a view on animal rights has little to do with having a stroke and is probably wholly unrelated.

That being said, I suppose it's not good science until we consider all potential contributing factors until we can prove a casual link. I just think that a nutritional explanation is more likely than something else (say, genetics).
Where I work they use RSA 2fa keys. I have the app on my phone. You would receive a link in the work email, and by clicking it, it would add the token to the RSA app and give you the 2fa keys every 30 seconds.

After a few months, I bought a new phone so I had to get a new link (I thought). But even the IT guys are saying: Nah man that's too hard. Just use the same link you received months ago.

It worked. There is no time-out on those links!!!!. A link we receive in a plain-text email!!! Some of our inboxes are shared / have a PA attached.

But nooooo, this is not a security problem AT ALL... :-(
