Hmmm.

This makes me wonder if, in the same way we've been technically-erroneously been hyperfocusing on CPU speed and quantity of memory in system-measuring contests and benchmarks, we've developed a fixation for how little RAM or CPU we can use while doing something interesting. I don't see the same sorts of fights developing around how much disk space we use or what the specs of all the systems we used for preprocessing are.

Demos are supposed to be about conquering limitations, right? Inspiring creativity and all that? Well, why can't we add those sorts of constraints in, then? Aren't we smart enough? :P

We might even build consciousness one day if we're honest about how much total resources we're using. That way we would actually have to reason about all the bits (no more "GPUs are really *that complicated* that what you're describing is impossible") and there would be no more black boxes.

Demos would be interesting.

You seriously think now that there aren't doctors that will give morphine to a terminally ill patient to aid with their passing?
Sorry, I wasn't clear.

The scenario you're describing is the easy one — if I have people who love me enough that they're willing to care for me, I wouldn't feel forced into making this decision and there's no risk of abuse. If anything, I might feel pressured to stick around to avoid hurting them.

GP's argument is trickier: Callous family members might want to force me into accepting assisted suicide against my will, because they don't want to care for me. My point was precisely that, in that position, I wouldn't want to be cared for by those callous relatives, and might choose assisted suicide of my own accord anyway.

The U.S. avoided this outcome for a long time, but it's in the process of happening to D.C. too. D.C.'s median household income was only slightly higher than the national average in 2006. But by 2015 it was almost 40% higher: https://www.washingtonian.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/DC-....

Not surprisingly the Michelin Guide started handing out stars for D.C. restaurants in 2017: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Michelin_starred_resta..... For decades, it ranked (in the US) only restaurants in SF, NYC, and Chicago.

When you’re really young and new the front of ‘not giving a shit’ is cool. As you get older, you have to turn that front to reality if you want to be resilient. You must take on the new front of ‘caring’, and deep down inside not give a shit.

> Thankfully there is Docker on Mac: how would my colleagues with shiny laptops get work done otherwise?

Nope. I replied to someone saying Docker on Mac is a joke, and I agreed saying: one of the last points where using Linux compared to Mac is advantageous.

Saying Macs are shiny is a compliment. You took it as snarky, but it wasn't (before the new keyboards I preferred --and owned-- Macs).

>if local goods can't be produced at a price that is commensurately low, then the fledgingly country's wage earners have their purchasing power reduced

If the industry they work in can't compete their entire income is reduced to zero.

That can knock out related industries as well and ultimately leave the country exposed to currency collapse and hyperinflation as the exporting countries decide that this country has nothing it really wants any more while they still desperately need imports.

This happened to Venezuela (after local industrialists declared war on Chavez in 2002 he effectively set out to destroy them) and Zimbabwe (when Muagabe dispossessed farmers from their land, rendering it unproductive).

The US is also exposed to this risk. It's steadily but very slowly losing hi tech manufacturing capabilities - something that takes decades to get back once lost (due to the network effect and loss of skills).
I guess I'm in the minority here, but I'd say it's slow. Not SLOW, but slow, compared to the Linux box I have right next to the Mini. It's tolerably, but I'd say starting up the app that I work on takes about twice as long on the mini, and it runs maybe 1/2 as fast? It's noticeable, but not so slow that I can't use it. Maybe this new release will speed things up for me. Nothing else is slow about the Mini, but Docker is noticeable slower.
> It is well worth examining how they function because this is how they deceive the public again and again, and it is why public trust in their pronouncements has justifiably plummeted.

I wonder if that might also be due to the previous president repeatedly referring to them as "the enemy of the people".

This is true of all kinds of tokens. The real takeaway is that cryptocurrencies are now so valuable that there are a plurality of individuals with over $100M, no taste, and no sense. This is a result of massive flows of money into the space. Fungible tokens are trivial replacements for large swaths of any financial system. There are great things going on adjacent to this sideshow.

I have a $12 flip phone, pay as you go, not in my name. It can't browse the web and if someone sends me binary data in a text message its shows up the same as if I read binary data in my terminal. The phone has no idea what to do with it. Battery life would be great if the did not remove the cell sites near me. I think this model was replaced by one that is $29 but its basically the same thing. Check Walmart or an equivalent store.

Several reasons best not discussed here, as evidenced by the other thread. :) I just don’t agree that experience with pain leads to a singular political response and offered myself as a data point, since the GP had no experience with varied political opinions in this area.
It is not at all like Rust; it is a garbage collection system based on reference counting, pretty similar to Swift. This is obscured by the documentation for each using similar terminology (like "move semantics" and "ownership") to refer to systems with different characteristics.
Would you rather USD be used for the drug trade? I never understood people’s fixation on crypto being used for drugs. Maybe it’s because I also hold the view that all drugs should be decriminalized and rehab should be used over incarceration.. if you believe these then why does it matter the currency used in the drug transaction?
If Ghana were to position itself as the 'Casio' or 'Seiko' of chocolate, I expect they'd tolerate the fact that there was a still an Omega out there.

I get where you're coming from, but in this case they are completely right to use this phrasing, with exactly the connotation you are talking about: the status quo is that the first world is NOT allowing these countries to run their affairs as they want internally.

That is, any developing country is presented with 2 options by the developed world: either accept 'free trade' (allow foreign investors to buy up the local industry, commit to IP laws, don't apply tariffs) or no one will be allowed to trade with you or send you aid.

In the meantime, powerful countries are taking numerous protectionist measures in their key industries, since that is the only way to actually be prosperous.

What about the role of the parents? (the king and queen?)

IMO they handle Elsa's powers in the worst way possible. The trolls sublty hint at what not to do: "fear is the worse you can do"; then they do exactly that. She's taught to deny and hide everything by her parents. So when they tragically die, she just keeps on the same self-repression path until it gets real bad.

Lending is predatory. That doesn't make it unethical. Is it unethical for a lion to kill a baby zebra that couldn't get away? No that's the nature of the beast. People need to step outside this fantasy world that everyone can be winners/successful. Newsflash, they can't.

We can have compassion for those that fail, hence why the US has some of the most relaxed and borrower favorable bankruptcy laws. People act as though bankruptcy is like suicide. It's not. You just aren't trusted with other people's money for 7 years. You can very easily keep your house if you have a good relationship with the bank (which happens more than you think). Banks hate foreclosure. They'd rather risk some missed payments here and there or refinance than foreclose.

The system isn't perfect. But outright decrying it because the precepts of old religions where people told us we shouldn't eat shellfish or pork for arbitrary reasons is no basis in rational policy making. Should we base our policy of slavery on Muhammad's opinion about having slaves as long as they aren't Muslim? Like c'mon...these theologies do not contain the end all be all to the way life works.

Not sure it's the same, DC is effectively part of a connected set of Northeastern US cities starting in Boston (or NYC) and going down to DC. So there's a lot of cultural linkages and travel between those areas. It's not in the middle of nowhere disconnected from society.

That's a complete nonsense on how things work in reality. The biggest problem for Africa is that MARKET of anything that they are selling is in Europe and US. They can demand anything they want(which is simple racket and anyone despises these things in business), and it all will simply end with some startup in Cali who will start to grow cocoa beans in vertical farms or some other African country will become cocoa exporter Nr1 in the world.

ANY developing European country in history started with offering raw materials and very quickly invested into manufacturing and producing good quality products. There are no obstacles for Ghana to do the same. At the moment you can see some poor European countries with industry and skilled workforce and they all have poor results because of corruption. Something tells me, that it will be the same for Ghana.

Romania still has at least one local supermarket chain I can think of: Oncos. I’m not sure how many locations they have outside of Transylvania, though.

Sadly, Romania’s competitiveness in building its own businesses in Europe is weakened by being left out of Schengen. Considering that Mark Rutte’s party just won reelection in the Dutch elections, sadly nothing is likely to change on that front for years – he is the biggest force vetoing Romanian accession to Schengen.

Just a minor comment (I currently live in Egypt):

> Control centres will monitor infrastructure and security electronically, roofs will be covered in solar panels, payments will be cashless

Good luck with that - a huge number of places don't even put prices up because everything is negotiable and cash is king. If they only want the kind of Western-style stores with explicit prices in this area, then this could be restated as "we don't want the poor part of our population here".

Cairo (and to larger degree, Giza) have a very intense, unique feel inside the city and I don't think this move will change anything about that.

The Linux kernel is one of the world's largest collaborative projects, and it shows. The strength of Linux is that tens of thousands of people work on it, and it can be expected to support virtually all technology you might want to apply it to. The disadvantage is that coordinating tens of thousands of people is nearly impossible, and while Linux has central leadership, they're mainly concerned with organizing development and less with providing a unified vision or architecture for the kernel. Each subsystem has a great deal of soverignty in their affairs.

That being said, if a group took it upon themselves to be a general-purpose "refactoring" team, without a focus on a single subsystem, they would probably be able to address these problems, albiet only if they have a strong stomach for bikeshedding. But Linux is made of volunteers, so you, dear reader, need to step up if you want this done.
To be fair, this is a much smaller move. It's like Wall St. moving to Warren NJ. I suspect new development will just fill in the middle.

> You can pay someone $5/hr to provide you with $10/hr of value

What is "$10/hr of value" as distinct for what you paid for it? Is it based on how much you sold the end-product for?

If that's the case, you paid $X/hr to earn an extra $X/hr - in other words no extra profit, is that not correct?
At the company I worked at right now we went from releasing every sprint at a specific release window. To lets release whenever we want because we have some blue-green support.

And it has been a game changer if you ask me, Jira tickets don't pile up in the test lane, testers don't have to do one big regression tests at the end of the sprint just to sure. Sometimes even making them work overtime just to be sure. The code area that introduced new bugs is way smaller and the bugs have become easier to trace down.

That annoying "TRUSTe" modal. The one you see on java.com for example?

While I have seen less of the "30 seconds to save" issue recently (I dunno if it was a ublock origin update or the ad companies actually fix their scripts). The issue causing it was ublock origin. Looking at the network activity when it was happening (it pissed me off too), the script was sending a request to each of the partners with your prefence and the script had to wait for the timeout on the request (as ublock was blocking the request) before moving onto the next batch. this scaled over all the partners listed in their ad/tracking partners added up for a piss take of a long time.

But as I said for me personally when I see that particular opt in/out modal these days it saves almost instantly, so someone somewhere fixed it :-)

EDIT: thinking about it, it might of even been the addition of FireFox's built in tracker protection that "fixed" the issue for me. I can't recall extactly when I stopped seeing the TRUSTe modal take forever to save my prefs.
If there was a browser setting to accept (or reject) all cookies regardless of intended use, that would actually solve the problem for many. Just because many people want to make case by case decisions, we shouldn't have to burden everyone with this task.

I personally would prefer to accept all cookies, and take responsibility for keeping separate cookie jars as needed.

Yeah, but then isn't there a risk of any such network becoming popular and then you've got the same problem as with Ethereum?
I know this might just be me, but I miss the good old days where the browser would simply allow you to accept or reject cookies from a specific domain and then remember the choice. It made things like this much easier, although I suspect it would be something of a nightmare in todays cookie-infested third-party hell.

I use docker on a mac, and... while I do feel it 'slow' in some sense, I've never seen 5-10 second access time to a mysql container. MBP 2019 here, but never saw that on MBP 2015 either. Is there some other mysql config that's trying to do some network lookup on the incoming connection? I vaguely recall that being an issue with mysql on bare metal servers years ago - if there was some specific network name as part of access control, the mysql would try to resolve the hostname, and that would sometimes be very slow, depending on external factors. (--skip-name-resolve and reverse DNS seemed to be things I'd found along the way, but I'm doing this from memory and it was 10+ years ago - haven't hit that issue in... a long time).
Exactly. I live in New York, which is definatly a high tax state. 51% of income tax revenues come from people making >$700k, and much of that money is transferred to people making <$32k.

> everyone where you are from lives “downtown” or that people where you’re from can always just walk to an equivalent

Both, really. From all the people I know, there's only one person who cannot walk from his place to a nearby bakery. And in that case it was a conscious decision to "become isolated" and buy a house in an unlikely place. Walking every morning to buy bread for breakfast is a deeply entrenched cultural thing. I cannot really imagine living somewhere where this is not possible. Most of urbanized places are indeed downtown.
