I've had lower-back pain during three different times of maximum stress in my lifetime. Meditation helped me handle it when it was happening. It works because most lower-back pain is due to subconsciously tensing the muscles all the time [0]. My technique is to quiet my mind, focus on the muscles, and then consciously relax them.

Each time, my lower-back pain permanently went away when I changed my life situation.

My guess is that you hate some aspect of your job, probably your boss, but the idea is suppressed. Try to find out how you really feel and then you'll know what action is right for you. A therapist can assist you in this.

If you rely on docker you won't be able to use it until at least February unless they use a pre-release of go which they haven't say they would do. VM are a no-go too. My guess is that it should be runnable by March/May but still buggy enough to be a pain to work on until the end of the year. So maybe you'd be better off waiting for M2 if it gets released by the end of 2021.

Turns out Sweden has completely abandoned their Laissez Faire attitude in the face of a >4x death rate and very little economic improvement compared to their neighboring countries. They’re instituting large gathering bans, closing schools, instituting curfews on bars and clubs, they’re just doing it months later than was reasonable.

I'd like explicit layers (transactions, I guess?) - so instead of every command making a layer, I could write

FROM alpine
STARTLAYER
RUN apk update
RUN apk upgrade
RUN apk add foo
ENDLAYER

and end up with a 2-layer image (alpine + my stuff) rather than the 4-layer image that docker would produce today.
Why would you need to burn it?
That's not true. As a FOSS lover, I pay for a lot of tools. Both development related and unrelated. Moreover, some of the tools that I pay extend on FOSS software (Tower, Viscosity, Permute) and some of are FOSS already (Cyberduck).

The thing is, as a person I don't want to feel ripped off. I don't subscribe to JetBrains since my work doesn't require these tools (also, I use Eclipse for 15+ years and it works well). The subscription culture allows developer to pump features indefinitely but, I can't subscribe to all tools that I like.

There are many services that I subscribe too (Dropbox, Spotify, Netflix, IFTTT premium, Evernote, etc.) but, they give me a service which touches my life everyday. I have no budget to subscribe to a tool to test for a year. It's not feasible. I need to eat.

So yes, I'd rather have a good FOSS tool which doesn't want $100+ from me every year and I'd rather patch it myself. But, if you provide me a good service which I can't replicate easily, or don't want to manage myself, I'd pay you good money. I'd be also very happy if the tool I'm paying is FOSS.

Also the biggest obstacle driving me away from paying is the tools are closed source and I'd be locked in if the tool/company lets out the magic smoke. All the services I pay are not locking me in. I can get my data out of them. So it's not always wanting to earn money for free.
That makes sense but was poorly described in the GP comment. I've seen this plenty of times but the justification wasn't jumping out at me. I think the example of the blockquote having a header id of "blockquote" didn't really help with clarity, especially since there's multiple blockquotes.
> The 2% annual debasement rate of modern state currencies would have been a massive crisis in the era of metals. Imagine a king putting 2% less silver in the coin, year over year. We're just used to it.

Say what? Coins were intrinsically valued and not used like currency as it is today. It wasn't until about the 1500s we even really see currency being used and it was hand waves a bunch of stuff thanks to the Dutch merchant class. In Rome people didn't spend money, they hoarded it, because the pile itself was a sign of wealth. Spending it was looked down upon. They instead purchased primarily through bartering of goods and resources. There was no middle class either to spend money, you were nobility, a solider, or a slave.

A lot of folks want to apply modern economics to historical contexts where it cannot be. There's too much missing when taking in only from the lens of Economics to evaluate or judge things accurately.
In other words, the rules shouldn't apply to the elite because they're being safe unlike the dirty plebs?
I think the Functions Translator[1][2] add-in might be worth a look to you. Note: I haven't used it myself, and it's a Microsoft Garage project, so there's no guarantee of support or maintenance.

From the description:

Functions Translator helps people use a localized version of Excel by helping translate from the US Excel function names, or research how to create a solution on the web with predominately English content.

Easily find the equivalent localized functions and formulas in any of the supported 15 languages. Functions Translator will automatically configure the language settings to US and the Localized version, and people can provide feedback on the translation of functions if it is not what they expected.

The reality is exactly the opposite of what you claim: all the studies of infectiousness of SARS-CoV-2, and even of other respiratory viruses correlate with detection of high virus load in the upper respiratory tract, and don't correlate with the detection of the high virus load in the lower respiratory tract. Here the most recent meta-analysis of the most relevant studies:

https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lanmic/article/PIIS2666-5...

Your reasoning therefore completely doesn't match the results of many different studies across the world, and also doesn't fit with which people are considered infectious in practice, with all the millions of people involved.

So, the study that I've quoted earlier, which detected high viral load in the upper respiratory tract of non-human primate animal model therefore suggests exactly what I've already mentioned that it suggests, namely, that we can not assume that vaccine provides sterilizing immunity unless the later studies with humans show otherwise. And that is exactly how the UK is going to proceed with their vaccination policy, as I've already documented, and also matches the statement of Pfizer's CEO.

(I also note that you again try to insinuate that my claims are something that I've never even mentioned, hoping to change the topic. Please don't.)
There was something about avoiding CDNs, what was it exactly? (The README mentions the use of it).
Doesn't docker support pluggable backends for actually running containers? It can't possibly be hard-tied to cgroups, since docker can run native Windows containers.

Linus Torvalds' good taste argument for linked lists, explained
I can't read the article, but I listened to Adam Savage's podcast where he talked to one of the principles of BattleBots. He described the steps they had to go through to run/film during CoVid- it included dedicated compliances personnel, with continual enforcement and daily testing. So my guess is that the film company is facing a higher set of standards, and is allowed to operate because it does so.
> And everyone that gets approached by someone else for a domain name wants $10,000, at least, everyone.

I own pandorasbrain.com and want to sell it. Every couple months I get an "offer" for a few thousand dollars, and every time I say yes -- which inevitably leads to the other person replying "actually I don't have the money right now, would you sell it to me for [$100, $200, maybe $400]". ... which I also say yes to! ... and then they disappear and never respond.

I have no idea what this presumed scam is about, but rest assured there are people out here with .coms who want to sell for much less than $10k, but ... nobody's interested!
I simply separate user/machine specific things into separate files, and don’t commit them to public repository (https://github.com/alexott/emacs-configs - it wasn’t updated for a long time, and it needs to be rewritten to modern stuff - first line was written 25 years ago)... But this may allow sharing, and even contributions...
The problem with “macros” is that they can be arbitrary VBA code that can invoke OS functions and foreign applications. Lambdas can only invoke Excel functions that you can invoke anyway from any Excel cell. Lambdas merely add an abstraction mechanism, they otherwise don’t provide access to new functionality.

As of September 2019, Slack reported 12 million DAUs [0]. Of course, that is pre-pandemic, and the only figures that Slack has provided regarding demand in 2020 are these tweets [1] from Slack CEO Stewart Butterfield back in March. In those tweets, it mentions that Slack was serving 12.5M simultaneously connected users.

Yes, but in practice that’s only for a small number of sites that do things like facilitate anonymous messaging. Basically everyone else needs to be able to do things like “notice DOS attacks” and other logging of suspicious behavior. It is actually kind of hard to not monitor at least a little so only specialized sites try.
> There’s no need for them to live on.

Maybe not, but considering how much they gave, I think we should want them to live on, and do what we can to help them. Do we really want to live in a world where a startup company makes as big an impact on the way we develop and deploy software as Docker did, only to have all possible business taken from it by bigger players?
=LAMBDA(...) does return an anonymous function - and then you use the Names Manager to name it.

I don't know how to say this without sounding super condescending but, if you want to have a discussion, please contribute to it in a meaningful way. You aren't asking questions, citing sources, or even making good new points. Beyond that, you're really uninformed.

Here's an example where you could have done even a little token searching; the title of this article is "Workers on Corporate Boards? Germany’s Had Them for Decades" [1].

Another example is when you write:

> Addressing symptoms not causes. Reduce tax avoidance by simplifying the tax code. It's that simple.

It truly is not that simple. There's a reason tax codes are complicated and broadly speaking, it's that you have to choose winners and losers to simplify them and that's politically and policy-wise very, very difficult.

I'm sure you'd like to dispute that, but the way you'll dispute it is with normative, opaque statements like "it's that simple" or "terrible idea" which will take you 8 minutes. The way I'll engage is by searching the internet and citing a post, and asking good questions to keep the conversation going. That will take an hour.

I'm not gonna do that, and I think this breakdown makes it clear why. I think you should keep in mind what you're asking of people you're having a discussion with, either implicitly or explicitly, and how your responses indicate what you're expecting to get out of a discussion. From where I sit, you're not looking to learn anything or to inform me of something, you're looking to win an argument. Sometimes that's productive but it's surprisingly rare, and besides that, I'm not interested. I haven't learned anything from you over the 3-4 threads you've chased me down on, but I do feel a little worse about humanity, and I get enough of that already.

And overall, I'd urge you to take a moment to consider the damage you do by logging onto public forums and spreading your ill-informed, normative opinions around. It greatly reduces the signal to noise ratio, and because it takes a lot of time to respond to things like this, it effectively DoS's productive conversations. I love a good internet argument as much as the next mega-arrogant software engineer but, we need to keep in mind the effect that has.

Yes, in August after a long period of lockdown, when schools were due to go back and when Whitty had warned that the UK was at the limits of lockdown easing: https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/live/2020/jul/31/uk-coro...

It was at that point that the government (and the right wing press) were trying to get people to start going back into the office (and when YouGov were publishing polls that showed that the age group most in favour of people going back into the office were the retired).

> Fans break in a couple of years

Am I just incredibly lucky or hopelessly unlucky? I have never had a computer (desktop or laptop) last long to have a fan fail. Is fan failure really that common? In just two years?

I get why people hate fans. I have a hand me down switch behind my desktop computer and the fans on that thing is louder than the fans on all three of the computer towers that it powers. However, the switch is not made for desktop use and in a 1U chassis, something has to give if we want airflow. However given that space is not an issue, you can get the classic noctua fan and cooler like the NH-D15 and a full ATX case if you're building new and that the fans will probably last over ten years with no servicing.

I get that this is probably tremendously overkill but just thinking out loud...

Agreed, podman needs better support for mac. It works fine under Windows WSL2 currently, see: https://www.redhat.com/sysadmin/podman-windows-wsl2

The Podman team is working on it but it's not quite there yet. Podman now has an API so at a minimum the whole opaque VM thing should be usable here soon. podman-machine and boot2podman already work for some people, although they didn't work for me.

I have a dream of using a lightweight Fedora Core OS VM on Mac/Windows for running the containers with a podman-remote client seamlessly driving it from the Mac user space. Once podman-remote is working, that's my next plan ;-)

A self plug here, I'll be keeping an eye open for all of these things and will blog about once I get it reliably working. I'll be submitting it to the Red Hat developer blog but I cross publish everything I write to medium as well in case you want to look for it: https://freedomben.medium.com/ I'm also starting to tweet when I blog (I'm finally getting serious about it now haha) @Freedom_Ben on twitter.

> Properly analyzing an idea takes time away from other things you could be doing, and some ideas are so outlandish that your life will almost certainly be better by simply making the choice to spend as little time as possible flirting with such absurdities (except insofar as you might enjoy toying with "what-if" questions as an end unto itself).

There's also the claim that someone is being "close-minded", when they reject an idea they have soundly researched and therefore need not waste any more time on. As Harlan Ellison so eloquently put it: "I'd gotten all the literature I could handle on the subject from a certain Thomas Aquinas" in regards to the god hypothesis. More often than not, "close-minded" is a conversation stopper, designed to deflect from the accuser's very own ignorance and credulity.

Same thing goes for creationism, AGW denial, anti-vaxx, anti-mask, the QAnon cult, trickle-down economics, etc.
Restaurants were never a major source of transmission and your industry isnt really more essential. The only fact you stated is that you get tested more, which is a good argument, but I dont really buy your anecdote that you guys go out less than anyone else and this somehow justifies your privilege. This is a very sensitive topic because small businesses feed families and are being destroyed across the country so you'll have to do better than say "We're totally more well behaved than people who go to restaurants"

It's an historical artifact from a time when people lived and worked on the nobility's land as literal serfs. The UK is just dreadful at progress, especially when it doesn't serve the elite. The whole concept of a 99 year lease was actually a major victory for commoners / compromise with the nobility and landlord class. While that compromise is no longer part of living memory (1920s) it's certainly still viewed as the furthest acceptable limit by many hereditary and institutional landlords.

No, they really don't. Uninformed opinions will argue this because they're just that... uninformed. I'm sorry but no one who has studied economics will believe this there's zero evidence to support the idea a low-level of inflation is bad. There's only crackpots and idiots who don't have economics degrees, or even enough math to understand the fucking equations (which aren't hard but also don't always provide intuitive results).

In general, without some form of inflation, you end up with a deflationary spiral because people stop spending and the economy seizes up. No one will spend money if just holding it makes it more valuable. It then becomes a race to horde as much as you can for as long as you can. It's also, quite uhhh... perplexing for me, to not increase the money supply when populations are increasing; because, they're increasing the value of the money by increasing demand for it.

Central banks are the result and answer to reckless unregulated financial markets crashing, being manipulated, and destroying lives... Oh shit, kind of sounds like bitcoin, doesn't it? Everyone does this "central bank boogeyman" and thinks it should go away but they all absolutely ignore why they exist in the first place.

There's a ton of quality stuff to be debated in regards to economics-- this is not one of them.
