If your C suite requires approving a $5/month charge the company has serious issues. This always bugs me about the HN attitude about spending money, but it's really a extremely frugal developer complex. It's $5 a month, you get insane value out of Docker Hub, just pay it. I come from an entrepreneur attitude, my time is my most precious commodity. I don't optimize minor expenses, I optimize the big picture, my time, outcomes, and revenue coming in.

I use an app called D-Minder to check / control my sun exposure. In the summer months I easily get 5000 IU after a 30 min session in the noon sun, approx 12pm. Anecdotally vitamin-D does help with my auto-immune, because I need to take much less thyroid dosage (25mcg as opposed to 75mcg) to arrive at the same TSH levels.

Higher D levels did make my teeth sensitive so I upped my Calcium and Magnesium levels. I take CCM, calcium citrate malate which is absorbed more easily than calcium carbonate. I also take Vitamin K2 as MK7 and drink Kefir regularly.
I'm too lazy to write 1000 word essay from my phone, but having a bit of experience in both webdev and c++ gamedev on custom engine I certainly can say one truth here.

FAANG literally spend billions of dollars on developer tools alone, not even including browser runtime itself. There are thousands of engineers who work full time to make web and tools both fast and easy to use. There is also tons of open source developers competing to create best tools for other developers. And let's be honest tasks that average web developer has it's not rocket science.

Gamedev is nothing like this: resources are ever limited, budgets are tights, and there is almost never ending crunch to release ASAP. Till recently every AAA company mostly used it's own tech and everything was not only proprietary, but always closed source so only papers were shared. Oh there also proprietary secret under-NDA targets called consoles where you cant just expect user to buy faster hw and more RAM. And skills you expected to have to work in AAA as C++ programmer can be more than in let's say SpaceX.

So first of all you don't see how much better gamedev tools became in last decade. Other issue is that no one gonna hold your hand and force you into best practices because all games are mostly built of hacks and if you gonna enforce some strict rules it's mean developers wont be able to get those extra FPS, or better network latency or some absolutely unsupported feature that no one ever needed before.

Well, the thing is, it doesn't seem to be really customer specific feature.

My purchase-approval flow is the same for $1 purchases as it is for $1k purchases. If we hadn't finagled a minor workaround, it would be the same as that required for $5k purchases.

> Python/C files didn't work in a vacuum

They do if you use the standard library (which for python is quite extensive), and copy any dependencies into your own source, as if they are your own.
By "in a vaccum" we can mean if python o is installed, it will work.

> Capture all necessary dependencies

Docker doesn't capture any dependencies. They still exist on the internet. It just captures a list of which ones to download when you build the image.

Do you think software we write now has more longevity than older software that uses make or a shell script?

It's an unimportant distinction.

It doesn't matter that you got your Microsoft-store approved copy of Gears of War from Gamestop instead of the Microsoft app store. MS still gets their cut, and that application still had to be approved by them.

The core similarity to iOS and Apple's app store is: Third party applications cannot run on the Xbox without Microsoft review, approval, and fee. It doesn't matter that it's a physical copy or not. You, an independent developer, can't just create an Xbox game and get it running without MS approval, no matter whether you wanted to sell it on the app store or as a physical copy.
You can blame all the scientists, but shouldn't we blame the CS folks for not coming up with suitable languages and software engineering methods that will prevent software from rotting in the first place?

Why isn't there a common language that all other languages compile to, and that will be supported on all possible platforms, for the rest of time?

(Perhaps WASM could be such a language, but the point is that this would be just coincidental and not a planned effort to conservate software)

And why aren't package managers structured such that packages will live forever (e.g. in IPFS) regardless of whether the package management system is online? Why is Github still a single point of failure in many cases?

I mean I can probably go on LinkedIn right now and find someone that fits these loose criteria. They’re fairly common!
Should this be surprising? I'm not saying it is correct, but it is similar to the response many managers give concerning a badly needed rewrite of business software. Doing so is very risky and the benefits aren't always easy to quantify. Also, nobody wants to pay you to do that. Research is highly competitive, so no researcher is going to want to spend valuable time making a new tool that already exists even if needed if no other researchers are doing that.

New Kaggle Competition: Lyft Motion Prediction for Autonomous Vehicles
Since the human player was in a simulator, the limits of the human body weren't a factor here. As for whether the jets are capable of delivering more Gs than a human body can handle, I'm speculating, but I'm not sure it would make sense for current jets to be designed to do so, at least not by a large margin, since that capacity would be wasted. Future jets without human pilots will certainly be able to do so though, which will make the contest even more lopsided.

>However, it would not be hard for a potential customer to hire developers and to re-create a similar platform with some time and effort.

You could re-create a Google with some time and effort, too.

Jesting aside, that is valid for practically any product or service. Customers have other things to do; comparative advantage and all. Even if they have the ability and resources to re-create every tool they're using to accomplish their core tasks, doing so means they wouldn't be executing their core tasks. Where would they draw the line before getting to Czochralski and growing semiconductors crystals?
They wouldn't stop calling me even when I told them to stop. I wouldn't use them either just out of frustration.
Epic had a lawsuit and an advertisement already prepared. They were not bluffing, and they were very confident that Apple would "call" them.
Sure, I was speaking off the cuff based on my experience from a few years ago. Maybe I messed up and somehow had the DinD daemon not use a volume mount, and that's what caused it to build images slowly?
Well, my experience is that some (not all) Japanese companies are quite good at making high-quality stuff at enormous scale.

The company I worked for is renowned for making really nice cameras, and have been doing it for 100 years. People all over the world have wrapped their entire careers around the products of this company (I don't call them out by name, because I don't really want my social media rants to end up on their radar).

As noted above, however, I found that their production magic didn't really work so well for software. As I was one of their software managers, this was challenging.
You don't need to rebuild a disk because some clusters were orphaned. It doesn't mean disk was corrupt, it just means there is some allocated space that isn't used. It's trivial to fix too. There is no danger there. Actually, what journaling does is to rollback that allocated space. Doing that manually doesn't make it less safe. For backup scenarios exFAT is perfectly feasible.

This idea is rational but politics isn't, due to things like:
Decades of long-term deliberate misinformation.
An uneducated public with many totally vulnerable to misinfo.
Believing what you hear has been a long-term evolutionary survival trait, and we are all affected by what we hear - and repetition can cement a belief almost beyond remedy. Another evolutionary survival trait is to belong to a group. Given these two traits many are convinced of their "truths" whatever they may be. Since these "truths" may or may not be actually factual, I do not see how it can even be agreed upon what "issues" even exist or can be debated upon. Remarkable most of us are pretty rational within the context of our jobs - yet often not in other contexts.

> Should Select Randomly From a Pool of ‘Good Enough’

But... they already do.

I can't find links right now, but deans of admissions from Harvard, Yale, Princeton, etc. all talk about how they could admit 10x the students and they'd all be equally good.

And that their selections aren't exactly "random" but are focused on diversity: that there are enough players for each instrument in the orchestra, athletes for each sport, varied extracurriculars in general, students for each major, with a diversity of race, ethnicity, nationality, geography, and so on. That early-decision candidates obviously have a bigger chance, etc.

But for a student who gets into Harvard and Princeton but not Yale or Columbia, it is essentially random -- e.g. Harvard and Princeton hadn't allotted all their trumpet players already but Yale and Columbia did.
Can’t find a citation at the moment, but it also depends on what part of your body is exposed. Just resting your forearm on an open car window won’t do it. You have to expose your torso mid-day IIRC.

Your comment made the think: The Atlantic, the Verge, Vox, New Yörker, they all sound the same to me. Whenever I pick up a magazine these days, I don't know what I'm reading.

My other thought is that bouncing between cities is the unusual activity here. Maybe after sleeping in so many hotels or airbnbs, the brain no longer has a sense of place and gets confused. I'm sure universal IKEA-decor helps, but why do we expect to jet around and visit so many different places and feel connected to them. In most cases people are busy and stressed, moving around without getting to know the place, just to hop in a car, go to a meeting, then back to the hotel or airport. Maybe that's what the brain is having trouble with.
> If it's using the host's Docker daemon, why do you need to mount the docker socket?

There are 2 components for docker: the daemon and the tool used to send commands to the daemon. In order for said tool to be able to send commands to the daemon, it needs a way to communicate with the daemon. Mounting the socket in the container is the easiest method.

I have a "tooling" image that consists of a set of scripts (python code) to do various things ops related. One of the things is to build new images when required. I have a script that given a git commit will detect the images that need to be build and build them. Having my tooling code in a container makes it easier to deploy and use new versions of the tooling code. I don't need anything on the host apart docker itself. No build scripts, no python.

As I said, i could be running the docker daemon inside the container, but that breaks one of my rules related to containers: containers are not virtual machines, they should only run 1 process and the output of that process should be std out.

I have to imagine it's because of marketing and R&D.

If they dramatically reduced both of those things, I don't see why they couldn't run a more modest and profitable business.
The resolution and framerate issues with that solution appear to be software implementation limitations, I haven't looked into them, but I would expect they could be resolved, since they appear to be an artifact of just one developers environment being tested against.

Why do you feel these are good comparisons to the US? None of those countries are as involved in conflict zones as the US and I'd argue can afford to keep their costs down because of the support implied by the US's presence in NATO. It's easy to keep costs down when you're not doing much in the world. The only exception amongst the countries you specified is China who, despite memes, has primarily been focused on countering a potential American offensive rather than taking a serious role in the world as a projector of military power. On top of that, things like their hypersonic missiles have been attributed to espionage programs (Raytheon hack in the case of hypersonics) so you could also argue that their spending is lower than it would otherwise be because their focus has been on catching up rather than leapfrogging to a dominant position.

Overall, your criticism that it's expensive mainly applies when compared to the European nations who are famous for favoring idealism and speeches over getting their hands dirty and making a material difference. Exemplifying this, The Hague itself has often been ridiculed for mostly being a playpen to lock up poor african warlords and people who were only able to be caught as a result of actions taken by the US and Russia as they stomp around the Middle East.

In your same link we see that US allies in conflict zones spend much higher than the countries you cited. Saudi Arabia spends 8.8% gdp, and Israel spends 4.4%. Branching out from US allies to countries of military significance either globally or regionally we see Russia at 3.9%, and Pakistan 4.0%, even Ukraine spends 3.8%. The US isn't even in the top 15 in terms of military spending relative to gdp. I do agree that if you're a country with no responsibilities then spending around 2% is fine but American foreign policy has generally tried to dream a little bigger than sitting in their laurels and finger waggling at the world.
Firstly, agreements do not keep biological weapons off the table or nuclear programs in check.

The first is done largely by the great powers agreeing that it's a bad idea from a military standpoint. That is, biological weapons are not stockpiled not because of all the obvious horrible consequences, but because the common wisdom is that they are ineffective weapons.

Keeping nuclear programs in check is mostly done through expense. Everyone who has them has made enough of them to feel safe, and doesn't want to make more because they are really expensive. After states have decided they don't want any more nukes, they sign agreements with each other to make sure no-one else is building a massive stockpile. If any of them wanted a larger stockpile, they would make it.

In general, powerful states can not be limited by agreements. They only ever work as a framework that allows everyone to do what they would have wanted to do anyway, while feeling confident of what everyone else wants to do and how to plan for it. The American obsession of thinking of the UN as world government and international agreements as laws really distorts your view on the world. That is simply not how any of this works.

But regardless of all that, even if broad international agreements would actually work to limit weaponry, it still wouldn't work, because AI is deniable. The initial AI isn't going to replace the pilot, they are going to augment them. And those are developed further until the pilots are no longer needed, and past that. So you can develop all the way to the point where humans have become a detriment, without needing to show your hand. And only deploy completely unmanned platforms once the proverbial shit hits the fan, which is after the point where everyone has stopped caring about international agreements anyway.
Hey! You just made my day. James Mickens (that article in particular) was a huge inspiration, especially the part about crying blood. May have been a bit too dramatic...
I'm not sure where you get $1000 per user. Is that a CLTV number? The amount of money put into the company by Dustin himself, the declining efficiency metrics (costs increasing faster than revenue), and the 10x number you mention points to a valuation more around $1.5B.
