Docker’s build process sucks, but that’s not the point of Docker—the point is that it’s a standard image format for containers which allows for orchestrators like Kubernetes to exist without caring about the internal details of any given container (e.g., what language it uses). It does pretty well in that regard, and you can even use Nix to build Docker images. Nix’s value proposition is reproducible builds, and while it does reproducibly build software, writing those definitions is incredibly hard (though the difficulty varies widely from package to package).

The A14X is a part for tablets that have very little cooling capacity and run on battery most of the time. It's not really comparable to the 5600X that has higher power consumption than the entire iPad Pro the chip will end up in.

>"They go very deep underground (rather than lying on the seafloor) quite a distance out from the coastline, and stay deep underground until they get to the "landing manhole" which is nowhere near the beach. The manhole is generally surrounded by a security perimeter. The "landing station" where the NSA's equipment sits is either in the same compound or (less ideally) very nearby. In the latter case the cable run from the manhole to the landing station has to be protected as well."

This is not true. Cable is only buried when the depth is less than a 1,000 meters. At 1,000 meters and above it just sits on the sea floor.[1] There is also no "manhole" where a cable pop's out of the ocean floor. The NSA does not need to be in a cable landing station, there is no benefit. The wavelengths can be peeled off fibre optic cable anywhere along the path. Hence why they were doing this at an AT&T Central Office on Folsom Street in S.F.[2], nowhere near a cable landing station. Cable landing stations are actually pretty uneventful places, generally some nondescript industrial park. The security there is the same as it is at any IX or data center.

> so it may be at least partially placebo effect

That really sounds like a kind of thing that should be tested blinded.
When it comes to our bio-ecosystem, I'm repelled by this kind of a question as, in general, I don't believe we understand ecosystems with complex interacting parts well at all .. and are therefore not well placed to make such sweeping changes to it .. at least not consciously.

The seminal book on this (for me) has been Dietrich Dörner's "The Logic of Failure".
Again, this comes back to an underlying message people are being sold. Two, actually. The first is "It is reasonable to expect to need to defend yourself with lethal force, and a gun is a reasonable tool for doing so." The second is "Feeling the need to defend yourself such that it is a day-to-day concern is a reasonable social position."

People will vote on fear before they'll vote on the abject failure of social policy that creates situations where that fear might be justified. That's just how humans are wired: we're not rational. It shouldn't be a matter of taking someone's means of defense, it's trying to address why they feel they need it in the first place. But even then, guns just aren't a particularly good investment if what you want to do is successfully defend yourself from crime. The stats just don't bear it out. So again, who is telling people that they should have one? Who does it suit for large amounts of people to believe that this specific form of mitigation makes sense?

Unfortunately, gun control is such a hot-button issue that it's actually outside the Overton window for an entire political faction. If you bring it up at all, even if you're talking about meta-issues like this, the conversation tends to shut down instantly. This is why the response is always "the Dems need to understand" not "the Republicans need to propose." The fear it represents, and the self-image that any conversation around it challenges, are so fundamental that attempting to approach it from any direction is seen as a personal attack. Again, this is not accidental; it is worth understanding when and how this happened, and who was involved in it.

> I've seen him refuse to denounce white supremacy in the first debate...

That was clearly a missed opportunity to clear things up, but the counter-question "Who do you want me to condemn?" is a fair one. It's easy for Trump to condemn the KKK, not so easy to condemn militia groups in general. Similarly, it's easy for Biden to condemn rioters, not so easy to condemn Antifa in general. Effectively, both candidates dodged that question.

> ... I haven't seen him denounce anyone who might vote for him.

That's moving the goalpost a bit too far for my taste. Trump has condemned white supremacists, that at least is on the record.
> Biologically delayed relative to what?

Relative to humans at others stages of development.

Yes, and our bodies react differently to those cues depending on our stage of development.
Can you give an example (or at least a sketch) of how, e.g. AES-128 on top of, or below, DES, is weaker than either?

The claims of "weakened by combining" are often aired, but all examples I've found so far are basically summarized as "remaining within a group structure" (as in your rubik's cube example whose god number is 20) - which might not be stronger than each individual, but is unlikely to be weaker either -- and algorithm combinations usually DON'T remain within a group structure (e.g. DES is not a group, so 3DES is strictly stronger than DES, even if it might not be 3-times strong in bits)
Look, I pay for JetBrains products as well and am happy to do so, but the vast majority of software I use I don't financially contribute to or very little, (a donation here and there), yet I extract great value from the gazillions of lines of code I utilize, some of them without even realizing it.

So for MOST software we use daily we indeed do not pay, bringing up 2, even 10 examples doesn't help with the fact that these are still exceptions.

Now I also happen to be a big supporter of indie artists and my Bandcamp library is in the high thousands of dollars in purchases.

> Thanks for what you did, it's really useful, but I've decided to not pay you, but I'm going to keep your output anyway and use it forever.

Is indeed exactly the stance many, many commercial companies take when utilizing FLOSS in their products.

The Spotify model also mostly benefits your Taylor Swifts, not the indie artists who actually could use it. They don't care about the small guy just as much as many don't care to at least not violate the terms or spirit of the software they use.

It is also worth noting that many of the major artists that benefit the most from Spotify are copyright maximalists, which basically means

"I not only want to profit off the work I did in my 20s and not allow others to reuse it to build new things, I also want my children to be able to do so 70 years after I die, thank you very much."

P.S. Am a free software maintainer myself, but we're talking about monetary contributions here.

Is it unreasonable undesirable or unnecessary?

I disagree. Guns are tools. Guns are toys.

The overwhelming majority of firearm use is safe and recreational.

Gun ownership is not correlated with gun violence[1].

The problem with guns isn't that there are a lot of them. The problem is that they are, in very rare cases, used to do serious harm.

That was my experience with every todo system I have ever implemented.

I finally found a todo system which worked for me, namely writing up every todo in a list. On Sundays I distribute the tasks to different days of my next week day.

If I don't get the task done for a weekday, it's completely fine. I just move it back into the long list, so it gets distributed next sunday.

If I notice a task has been cycled like that a few times, then I delete it, it wasn't important enough for me to overcome the guilt associated with the task.

I'm not sure if the system I came up with was what actually fixed my todo anxiety, but in case it was I figured I would share it.

We've wiped viruses off the face of the planet before, and I don't think it's causing us much harm. Eradicating smallpox has apparently saved 5 million lives a year!

The question you'd have to ask is whether some low level amount of coronaviruses is important to human survival. It seems like it's not. We have certainly seen the opposite effect -- people get pretty sick when you kill off all their gut bacteria (it lets unhelpful bacteria reproduce, and the bacteria actually perform digestive functions). Unfortunately, we didn't really realize that until we developed the technology to kill bacteria indiscriminately, so I see the worry. But I doubt anyone will be harmed by having too few coronavirus infections, so I'm probably not worried this time.
Do you appreciate the inevitable outcome of this sort of speech is that people, whether they are Mexican or not, whether they are legal immigrants or not, so long as they fit into some deranged category, will meet more violence in their day-to-day lives?

It's not racist because of the exact words said, it's racist because of the obvious consequences. There are ways to talk about difficult issues. Trump empowered the worst people to come out from hiding.

The hook, line, and sinker is when he said, "and some, I assume, are good people." It's tantamount to, "I'm not racist. I have a black friend."
GitLab/GitHub pages? Long ago, I took notes[0] for myself and put them in a repo. It was easy to set up GitLab to build them.

I also had blogs. As a student living in an underbanked country, I wanted to trade stocks. I jumped through hoops to find a broker in the U.S. that would allow me to do that. I contacted so many that when I found one, I started a blog just for the article.

To get going, I needed a MasterCard. I jumped through so many hoops, literally knocking on banks' doors, being given conflictin/inaccurate/incomplete information, that when I finally go the card, I put up that article in the blog [almost a thousand comments and replies, hundreds of thousands have read it, and I became the 'internet payments' guy in the country]

Denying that assertion the possibility of validity is unlikely to prove it false.
I agree with your points, but I think the topic of music deserves more nuance.

How would you know what you liked if you never heard it?

Would you pay for music you have never heard before?

At some point artists need to distribute their work, and to try and push their music to people that have never heard it before, so there is always a balance of advertising vs. revenue.

I imagine most people my age recorded songs off the radio onto cassettes. I still don't feel bad about it, because I bought the albums I cared about.

I agree that what we are discussing is piracy, but I don't believe music piracy to be a zero sum game.

In which kind of bubble do you live where not making web apps available for your clients is seen as an extreme violation of freedom? As long as it is possible to go to the bank to do whatever you need to do, I do not think politicians have anything to say.

Sometimes you don't have to, but it's much more convenient. For example, I can use my bank app just with my fingerprint. To use the web app, I either have to login with my phone (reading a QR code) or have to use one of those devices where you insert your card and enter a couple of codes (if I find it...).

No. Once they reach land they use public right-aways just like normal service providers. There would be no reason to bury a cable in a river to get it from the coast to the city.
I believe there is a big value in touristic areas, once they allow it globally. If tourists can pay easily without needing money exchange bevorhand this can increase spendings. Risk is that the app might show values in home currency, which makes total ripoffs more transparent (but can encourage with a "oh so cheap!")

The long play: Once tourists are happy with it they go home and want to pay that way at home, too.
What Is WebSocket? Reach Real-Time Stock,Fx, Crypto with WebSockets
It's only a part of the issue. The other part is that a "launcher" app shows miniatures of apps when you scroll through open apps, and this behavior is controlled by the same screen capturing permission. When you enable screenshots, you also enable previews in the launcher app when switching between apps, in some cases it might be not desirable.

There's probably some more nuances that I'm not aware of.
I haven't seen data for the A14 big cores, but in Anandtech's Tiger Lake deep dive, they did make a comparison between the power usage of Apple's A13 cores and Tiger Lake.

It'll take decades, but… what approaches are worth trying?

Here's an example: Get X (10?) million people to watch 10 hours/year of strangers who they would normally not encounter or agree with, and to understand them as real people.

To do that, produce and televise+stream a long-form TV show, like a version of Braver Angels' Red/Blue Workshops[1] that's actually enjoyable to watch. Imagine a well-produced show with deep participant profiles - a cross between a reality TV show and a binge-watchable Netflix/HBO series.

It would humanize the participants first, then after viewers care about them, their lives, and their families, the actors would gradually explain their backgrounds and opinions - some of which a viewer will disagree with. This uses TV to scale up the "Contact hypothesis"[2]: viewers would "meet" and hear from people they may not interact with regularly. Just like all TV, the producers would have an agenda. (Sarah Silverman's "I Love You, America"[3] is the closest I've seen to this, and it's not all that close.)

I'm only giving this as an example. What approaches do you think would be worth testing?

Assume you have decades plus unlimited philanthropic and/or public funds. For the sake of argument, imagine Mark Zuckerberg decided that a divided America is bad for Facebook's valuation and seeded this project with a $1 billion donation. It took over 20 years to get here and it'll take decades to undo it.

Is this not a function of how rationality actually works? We all begin with premises which are fundamentally unproven and unprovable. Our conclusions follow from those premises. Change the premises and the result changes, though both sets of deductions may be perfectly rational. In other words, rationality is a process, not a set of conclusions.

One word for this is "tradition". If I've piqued your interest, please read Alasdair MacIntyre's book "After Virtue," and also it's sequel with a more provocative title, "Whose Justice? Which Rationality?"

Law and policy is the stick, while trust and education is the carrot. As others are pointing out, it’s nearly impossible to implement a technical solution without draconian measures that may cost more than they save. The main defense you have is legal, and the main offense you have is the opportunity to earn employee loyalty.

It may be worth asking what scenarios cause you real damage. Someone using un-runnable snippets of code they themselves wrote just to get another job is unlikely to cause any harm to your company. If this is a concern, why not allow it and implement an exit-interview review of assets they’d like to use for job-hunting? You could offer to let employees who leave take some of their code snippets with them, as long as you can review it before they go. This way it’s allowed and you have some control over what’s shared instead of the alternative no control.

Someone posting a custom/secret algorithm is subject to being sued. If posted to Github, you also have the legal right to request removal from Github. If they take it to another company, you can sue the other company. A common proactive defense against this is patenting the algorithm in question so there’s no question where it came or whether other companies can use it.
Problem is actually you don’t because unless the virus is completely eliminated it can only be controlled using infinite lockdowns, or it’ll simply flare up again and every sacrifice will be wasted.
