You are confusing two different things.

One is using Docker as a deployment packaging method.
The other is using Docker only for development and still deploying traditionally. Sure you can do both, but it doesn't have to be this way.

Not everyone has the capital to buy homes outright in areas that are e.g.: close to their place of work/well-funded public schools, or in which they feel safe.

Furthermore, buying houses can be a risky proposition, particularly since we're speaking about the context of fluctuating housing prices.
> seems to boil down to not letting tech companies block who they want to block. I just want competition.

The problem is that when the market is already consolidated, you need one to get the other.

Suppose you want to compete with the major phone platforms. Your biggest problem is apps. No apps, no users; no users, no app developers.

A way to fix this is to create a cross-platform app development framework. Developers would love that -- write your app once and it runs on both the existing major platforms and any new ones? Great!

Except that the incumbents block it. You can't create a competing app store for the existing platforms, which means you can't leverage that into a competing platform.

But without competition there, they can also do this:

So there goes your competition for Twitter and Facebook.

Constrain them from limiting competing app stores. Works a lot better than doing nothing.

The early modern period is generally held to start roughly in ~1400-1500 and end roughly in ~1750-1800.

I understand that there is a lot of debate on the specific starting and ending dates, but I thought that pretty much everyone would identify ~1600 to be smack right in the middle of it?
The cost in itself isn't a barrier, but it compounds hidden network effects making it a problem.

I paid for Threema this month while looking for WA alternatives. I had to pay the money just to find out that absolutely nobody in my contacts uses Threema.

Was it a waste of money? Maybe, but I'm ok with being the first, most people would not be ok with that and I have a very real concern I'll never see a friend join me there, then it would be money wasted.

WhatsApp charged its users to continue using it after a year, I wish Threema took this approach. I paid that money without issue because I already saw the value, so did a lot of people I know. So it's clearly not that people won't pay, but they need to show their customers it's worth it first.

In Chinese culture, 'Round' represents heaven (sky), and 'Square' represents earth (human). The most common way to carry it is either with a pocket or on a string attached to your belt. you will need to unbelt to pay for a bread if it is your belt, it is not that convenient. Another thing is that the face of the King is less important than his alias (a name given to represent a person's virtue). The only one put his face on coin was from 1915, influenced by foreign coins probably.

> even if some other intelligent species would exist, maybe they would not have the same need to communicate, the same need or will to travel, the same need or will to innovate, etc.

I think this is unlikely. It seems to me that some amount of curiosity would be a prerequisite for being able to make discoveries that lead to technological progress. Although I suppose it is possible such progress could be made through some kind of evolutionary mechanism as opposed to individual intellect.
The Azure Codespaces VMs were awfully slow on IOs. It was not a great experience at all.

I disagree with the author's statement that the Fermi paradox is "pretentious" because it assumes we have cosmic significance. I think a better word for that is "presumptuous", but pedantry aside, I don't believe the Fermi paradox ever says anything about what aliens think of humans.

It asks why there isn't more evidence of aliens anywhere we've ever looked, not about why aliens haven't come to ask us for our wisdom on philosophical matters. It's not asking why they haven't contacted us, it's asking why we can't see them, or any evidence of them. In other words, it's about the statistical likelihood of seeing evidence that should be commonplace, given the age of the universe.

He brings up the point that we might be too primitive to even notice them. Fair enough, but you could just as easily say that it's "pretentious" to say elves don't exist, because we might just be too primitive and narrow-minded to see that there is evidence of them everywhere. We have to start somewhere, and we're doing our best.

The Fermi paradox may have a built in assumption that aliens affect their world through technology, and even that they are scientifically advanced and curious enough to send probes or ships out to explore. An attack on that point would be fair. It's possible that the answer to the paradox is that humans are extremely rare in having developed any level of technology, science, or curiosity. But, that seems more pretentious to me than the alternative.
But their very point was that the simulation wouldn't have to compute every single individual particle, only the "interesting" ones. The rest would be approximated to whatever level required.

I basically agree with you but I can't see how your argument applies here.

It depends on your context. I've worked places that onboard new team members every few years, and I've worked places that onboard new team members every few weeks.

On larger teams, setting up a consistent environment like that also makes it easier for developers to collaborate. I've had experiences where attempts to pair program or share utility scripts generally stumbles and fails due to everyone's environment being a special snowflake.
It can be much more complicated than that.

* You want means to keep all of the dev environments in sync so you don't get "works on my machine" problems.

* If you update something, then you need a way for everyone to have their environment reconfigured.

* As the number of projects/stacks/developers scales this becomes a bigger and bigger issue.

I've used some Anisble in combination with a shell script wrapper to handle some of this kind of stuff. Even still, it takes a lot of hands on support to make it all work. So, if you can get something like this to scale, it might be a big win ... if...

Or the UEF Atlantis in Supreme Commander.
In the US it's a bit of a mess. Right now most states are focusing on high risk people first. So medical staff, essential workers (I think) and those 65 and over.

My parents fall into the 65 and older category and can't find a vaccine anywhere local.

It'll be months I suspect before these groups of people get their shots. Then they move into another group and it'll repeat. I don't anticipate getting my shot until summer at the earliest.

The reason I say it's a mess in the US is each state is sort of doing their own thing. And some areas are getting very little vaccine.
There seems to be little room for the controversial idea that nothing should have been done, other than a notice to stay in if you feel the need to worry about safety, regardless of touted death metrics.

I feel like thats the route we take in most matters, often in relation to actives with much higher mortality rates.

Very confused by the entire thing.

This is really, really awesome. Well done. There are sooo many things you could do with this idea. I could totally see this becoming a huge thing, keep working on it!

If you're looking to move away from videos entirely, it would be really cool to see the models in 3D, and then when you select a muscle, the 3D figure animates and shows you the exercises. Then the videos could be supplemental. That would be so neat lol.

I read a book last year about marketin. It talked about this bracketing of the public’s perception of an issue in to a box. Once you get the pereption confined in a box, you can begin to shift that box towards the true goal. I thought a lot about that and how big tech, and the government are pushing us towards some perception, and I’m worried that the more it pushes the harder it will be to ever move it back.

"the goal is for the creator to be satisfied and use the language himself"

That is only one of the goals. The author is also interested in making that language public at one point, even if that comes as a far secondary concern for him, otherwise he wouldn't have bothered to publish anything.

"That's a circular argument given what's discussed in this thread."

Twitter employees have been wanting to ban Donald Trump and other right wingers for years. But now that the Republicans are out of power they don't have to worry about repercussions from said Republicans. The capitol riot was certainly a catalyst, but keep in mind that the main reason Donald Trump wasn't banned between 2016 and 2020 was that he was POTUS.
Hmm, one could encode manufacturer and maybe even model as a categorical or one-hot encoded variable. Then again, the small number of failed drives in their dataset would probably make this hard.

Rather presupposes that alien life is similar enough to humanity for culture and art to be more-or-less mutually intelligible.

Would extraterrestrials who communicate with pheremones, or touch, or don't communicate at all (ala "Blindsight") have any concept of music? If they can "hear", does their sensory range overlap ours? Is it compatible with our notion of musical scales? Does whatever passes for a nervous system operate at a similar timescale to ours?

Food and clothing seem like more of a stretch- even within earth's biosphere many substances humans can eat are poisonous to other animals, and vice versa. Vast differences in bodyplan would almost certainly make our clothing useless to an alien race, and the materials we use could easily be incompatible with their biology.

Even if aliens were substantially similar psychologically, minor changes in biology could result in completely different societies. What would our world look like with humans who reproduced asexually, or in triads? Where we produce our own food via photosynthesis or symbiosis? Where we didn't sleep, or different populations hibernated in their own cycles?

Overall I'm inclined to believe that cultural exchange with an intelligent extraterrestrial species would be harder and less productive than cultural exchange with parrots.

Of course the "reason" is usually something else. Nobody writes 100x"InCel" on a manifesto.

Religious morals, if stripped of the whole superstitious nonsense, leaves behind the "everybody gets a chance" pacifier. For all other forms of society its boils down too some feudal harem dropping a few outdated flowers and one is desperate enough to pick from the outdated left-over men-heap.

This always was and has been a solid basis for civil war, for if all you got is your life,and there is no perspective for it to ever be good, why not put it as bargaining chip into the ultimate equalizing game - which civil war is.

Sorry to say it, but all those nice little social games like ménage à trois are entertainment for those who never came near these problems. And i doubt that a lot of those advocating for this as solution, ever were poor enough, long enough & lonely enough, to not become "clingy and desperate", aka jealousy.
While we are at it - may i also point out, that the usual - all female secretary pool at headquarters- suspiciously looks like economic opportunity harems and thus a lot of commentary by company owners will be very tone-deaf by nature.
Those who celebrated Trumps ban off Twitter will quickly see how the tables can turn. What is worse is that I can't come up with a suitable answer to the Twitter censorship problem. Regulate? Remove 230?
I think big tech has all of the power because they have all of the platforms, and if any platform attempts to take some of that power, the big technology companies shut them down. I’m not making an excuse or an apology for a service like Parler, but eventually the deck becomes so stacked against us where we are damned if we do damned if we don’t.

Others likely have covered this, but to add my experience I also had neck/posture issues and pain until I started doing compounds (squats, deadlifts) at least three times a week.

For me, physical therapy did nothing, and I suspect my issue was fundamental in that my musculoskeletal system was underdeveloped and working out was the only way to fix it.

> But authorization is rather tightly coupled to your service, and outsourcing that part would be much more of a challenge -- keeping authorization rules up-to-date with external systems is a difficult dependency management problem.

Strong agree. We're trying to strike the right balance with this problem with oso [1] (I'm a cofounder). By letting you separate the authorization logic from your code, and doing a lot of the thinking for you (how to design + implement roles etc), but ultimately the data *stays in the application*. There's such a blurry line between authZ and business logic that it doesn't make sense to fully outsource it.

I do this, but with a Linux VM running in Parallels on my Mac. Uses about 1/10 the CPU that Docker on Mac uses for the containers I run.
I'll try to respond to each of these:

AFAIK the only component that really relies on logind is GDM. If you don't want GDM and are comfortable using another display manager to launch your GNOME session, that should work fine, although I haven't tested this in a while. You may also be able to launch your session manually the old way, without a session manager, although that will probably require you to use setuid X which comes with the usual caveats. It's probably a total no-no if you're using wayland. If you decide you want GDM and wayland then you still don't need systemd-logind for session management, you can use elogind, or you can grab BSD's patches for consolekit support. The real issue there is that GDM requires some kind of session management, if you want to do this without any other daemons whatsoever, then you will have to reimplement parts of logind/consolekit inside GDM.

With the search services, there is a switch for that in settings under "Search."

With dconf, that is not actually integral to the toolkit. The API that applications use is GSettings, which requires a backend to actually store the settings, and dconf is just one of those backends. You can disable the dconf backend and just use the one that writes ini files to your home directory, or use some other backend. Technically apps can try to force the dconf backend but I've never seen one that does this.
> I've come to loath web frontend development.

Well, we don't have to do things this way just because everybody else does... developing "vanilla" Javascript is actually a pleasure especially with tools like Chrome's debugger. In my experience, front-end "frameworks" like Angular and React provide very little value and tons of unnecessary overhead.
Full time a little over a year now I think.

Yeah that's a good point. After a while you do start to realize the limitations of the VS Code plugin. That video is a good example. But once I got to where I could edit at equivalent speed I was used to, I dropped VS Code completely. I looked at the plugin as 'training wheels'.

I'm not as hardcore as some. I still prefer to use GVim/ Macvim. I'm not an 'everything must stay in the terminal' purist. I know some who are, but I still like being able to use the mouse to bail me out sometimes, and always have access to the system clipboard without having to recompile vim :)

I don't go crazy with config & plugins, but I got my setup to where I have all the features I missed from VS Code, and that's enough for me.

There is always more to learn though. I feel like I've been complacent lately, so you have to remind yourself sometimes to make an effort to seek out more advanced techniques.

That video is a great example of some of the incredibly powerful things Vim can do! I'm a big fan of macros for repetitive tasks.
So, COVID vaccines will be free in the US. As for other vaccines, it’s highly variable. But at least, for once, for medical stuff, there’s a price list!

And there are vaccine clinics and discounts and blah blah blah. The cost, as in what you pay at the register, is manageable.

What’s less manageable, and is actually the point in what you quoted, is getting time off to go to the damn clinic. Oh my god, the grocery store is not going to put me on probation for missing a shift to get a shot? And they’re actually going to arrange it so I don’t have to fight my way through public health red tape? That’s the big deal.

As amazing and convenient as Docker is in practice, containers hide the inherent mess that is modern computing, and the more they are used, the less chance is that this mess is getting cleaned up... ever. Ultimately this is another dependency, complexity hidden by another layer...
Probably not a lot, paper is cheap. Typically a concept like this is explored by a team of 6-10 engineers over the course of 3-6 months, and they may work on multiple projects simultaneously.

Even if the project doesn't move past the concept phase, there can still be developments along the way that make it into other projects. Further, if a concept is abandoned because it is not technically feasible, identifying that it can't be done also identifies the limits of what currently can be done, which is good for determining research goals.

The cost of such a project should also be compared to the alternative: it's much cheaper to work through a design on paper and finding it's a dead end than to commit to something without that evaluation and find out 80% of the way through building it that it's a dead end.
> Our culture is totally broken. I think it stems from our salaries being too low.

In this case, I really don't think that is the reason: As mentioned above, often the same users that are hesitant to spend €4 on encrypted messaging will happily spend €4 on a single cup of coffee.

I've read an interesting exploration of this idea a while ago (i.e. why is it easier to get people to pay you €x for a cup of coffee than it is to get them to pay the same amount for your app) – I think the main argument in favor of the coffee was familiarity and predictable utility.
It's all Jack Dorsey's world. We just live in it.
I think the one thing RE: used laptops that always has to be accounted for is it requires a fair bit of technical knowledge and some learned experience of what a good used device should have.
I'm related to a few teachers and used laptops were always an issue because they couldn't afford to take the punt of getting used ones so they had to pay a premium from established resellers instead at which point you're approaching budget new laptop price territory.

Pi 400 really should have some obvious clear low cost screen upgrade option though. Possibly even just an app that it could stream to out of the box? Obviously wouldn't be perfect but if you assume there's a not unreasaonable chance they already have some Android device it could suffice.
You depend on what the repository serves for "apt-get". You may pin it, but it still doesn't guarantee you're going to get the same version if it was replaced on the repository without changing the version.
