I wouldn't agree about that it's always immoral to end one's own life, either, but

> This viewpoint ignores the experience of the person actually wishing to end their life.

...there is an argument to be made that a person whose life has ended has no experience to consider, leaving an absolute moral/utils cost.
> Get rid of paper forms... moving those forms online ... made government services much more accessible

Not everybody uses computers. Not everybody has internet access.

Shouldn't paper forms still be available as a last resort?

I'm okay with "online first" but not "online only".
It's an extension to the tournament of academia.
How would you suggest that the kernel interoperates with systems that need ASN.1 such as X.509 encryption, CIFS filesystems, or BER encoding in the H.323 ITU standard?
Fair, I am using Redis as an example here, because I know more about (the technical side of) their product than some of the others. I think similar considerations apply to Mongo, Elastic and the others.
It’s not a true incredulity I expressed, it’s that in the middle of it all 40 hours a week seems very distant.
Copying a game is a one-time event, and everyone gets the exact same code/product.

When collecting usage data, the data is different each time you collect it, and its not a one-time event, it happens over and over.

I'm not condoning copying games, just saying its not a fair comparison to gathering your usage data.
The shared filesystems are also quite buggy.

I was developing a database as a personal project that involves mmapping a file and the Docker shared filesystem had some peculiar behavior they was different from how normal filesystems work.
I get digitally signed PDFs from service providers each month, similarly from various gov agencies.

Sure, there are still a lot of people who simply isn't comfortable handling this, and for them send them printed versions.

Auditors and reporters should audit the end-result, not look at paper baskets. We already know "oops liberty not found" happens in a lot of cases yet the powers that be does nothing. (Because it can't because it's a in a gridlock, because well, a lot of people are still just a xenophobic bigoted harmful dickhole waving their (single issue) flag.)

Let's dive deep into Docker's union file system
Sure, all of those (even callcc) are useful, and having them in an otherwise reasonably high-level language means you can use it to build plumbing in the language that would otherwise have to be primitives implemented in a lower-level language (e.g., the Common Lisp condition system, which is basically exceptions with superpowers, can be built fairly simply on top of call/cc; I once built a toy implementation for Ruby based on the one in Practical Common Lisp.)

I don't think having unstructured told in a language is a bad thing, though I think the core language / stdlib having the right structured tools (whether primitives or built in the language itself on top of the unstructured ones) that most code never needs to reach for the unstructured tools is desirable.

I did try VSCode remote running and debugging, but found it fiddly to work with and half-baked. Plus, I was sorely missing IntelliJ, so I quickly stopped trying it out - maybe I'd get used to it eventually, but it didn't seem worth the onboarding cost. The RDP and X410 solutions suggested in the replies to GP seem solid though.

They won't let you on the mainland, even with a valid visa. They don't want you to see what the global oil companies have done (and are doing) to the environment.

Wouldn't that also require full namespace support, not just "a couple extra kernel features"?

At that point if you want to bind mount in a container you're talking about macOS binaries running inside the container, which means a full macOS docker architecture port (like they did for Windows, which AFAICT didn't make them much if any money, but I think M$ paid for it anyway).
Sadly, they do. And often times this is the help their family ended up at.

If you stroll into homeless communities you'll see a pretty common thread: Addiction. When someone ends up homeless due to drug/alcohol abuse, there's often very little a family can do to (productively) help short of an ultimatum "Get Help or Get Out". Whether it's effective/right or not, many of those families feel they are taking care of them by giving them the choice of continuing to live the life they've chosen or accept help ... with a myriad of conditions attached.

You are right. Most security are really depending on banks whether they operate with integrity and your relationship with them. For security get to know your banker. And I wouldn't recommend any of large banks. Local credit union and small bank with good balance sheet are better bet.
You can adjust the grain and denoise settings to change that, or switch AI models. Probably some other settings I'm not expert with as well. This was just what I had running at the moment, which was a first pass on the first episode.

I agree on the smoothness, it takes a little tweaking to get right.
SpaceX engineer pleads guilty to selling insider trading tips on dark web
I'd seen this before on HN, and thought about it many times after, but couldn't remember the name, so couldn't find it :( I'm glad to see it again.

Personally I see this as a great work of art, perhaps in a way that some people consider great classical pieces of music. Here's a comment from the linked page that poetically reflects that sentiment:

This demo is not just technically impressive but I found also evocative of thought and emotion. This isn't just a programming triumph, but an artistic one.

The program itself, at 256 bytes, is little more than a "seed" from which the demo (and the Mind) blossoms from. It's so small that the actual execution in memory takes up more space, and watching it play out on YouTube takes up orders of magnitude more; how many dozens of gigabytes were transmitted by all the people who've watched videos of this demo?

But what about what we actually see and hear? The visuals start off as Sierpinski triangles, symbolic of both the endless, seemingly-chaotic nature of fractals as well as their order. As the song plays, the fractals become morphed into other shapes. Lines, sharp corners, and occasionally blobs show up, evoking in me images of wrinkles in brains or circuit patterns. The melody is randomly generated but backed by a simple, steady bass rhythm, a similar marriage of chaos and order. The song's climax (at 1:42 in the video) impresses upon me a march of progress as the Mind finally takes shape, formed from random matter and energy and into an entity. We observe the formation of the Mind from the ether not just visually and aurally, but also in the form of the 256-byte seed expanding into the demo flower, eventually taking shape as the C64's home screen.
I actually did not read Tinker Tailor yet, but several others, including the finale:

He still plays along the dirty lines of spycraft, which are at odds with "decent human being" quite often.

Spoileralert for the next paragraph:

With the finale of Smiley blackmailing a - by all accounts of the spys observing him, a very nice guy - into cooperation.
Then blackmailing a father to change sides, otherwise his psychological ill daughter will have to leave her Swiss sanatorium and face Russia, which meant Sibiria as she would have been classified as dissident and not ill (she was both).
Ok, the father was Karla, the cruel head of the KGB's 13. very black Division. Smileys antagonist. Who did this and worse things all the time.
So Smiley finally beat him, by becoming him.

That I call plying along.
And he does so very aware of it and hard on himself.
I really think the point is not how long it might take someone to learn how to use tools, but the impacts of prison. I work with these folks through my company to help them become employed upon release.

A few things, it is astounding but believable that when people are released they enter a world that is entirely unknown to them. Not only technology but their relationships and neighborhoods are completely different.

In addition,They have no reliable way of getting back on their feet. They usually have zero money, no housing and no job - and there is why you have high recidivism rates. Not only that, but no one wants to hire justice involved individuals, even though significant tax credits are available for doing so - Walmart for example, takes extreme advantage of these.

The training programs in prisons will train someone up to a certification, but fall short of letting them get that certification. People have completed their GED maybe 5 times inside serving sentences at different times because doing so can reduce their sentence, it doesn’t help them in any other way.

Without the ability to access training for in demand skills, many of these individuals get temp service jobs as flagged for construction for example. Doesn’t make sense to me that we want to rehab people yet minimal opportunities inside are provided to break the cycle.

Realize this. People serve a sent and then they are eligible for parole. Many people opt to serve their parole inside, rather than outside. I’ve been told they feel it is easier inside than out.
True, but it uses a Linux kernel over hyper-v rather than a wrapper over the win32 api like WSL1 (from what I understand!)

He is not on GitHub/Twitch/itch (much), and self-hosts his blog. I think he likes it under the radar. I hope he's well compensated because he has the skills to become a super villain if need be.
> See how TSMC (Taiwan) and Samsung are free to buy ASMLs EUV machines, while China is blocked. Part of that is due to their rampant IP theft. Why sell machines to China if they're just going to copy them?

ASML's machines aren't something you can just copy by buying one of them. (You'd do better by hiring ex-ASML engineers to teach you how to do it.) And ASML would've sold their EUV equipment (just as they continue to sell previous-generation machines) if their export license had been extended by the Dutch government, but the US applied pressure to make sure that didn't happen.

You say China took too long to open up and industrialize. Well, they are open to buy from ASML and industrialize with their help, but others are closing that door...
> I really think China is making a huge mistake actually. See how TSMC (Taiwan) and Samsung are free to buy ASMLs EUV machines, while China is blocked. Part of that is due to their rampant IP theft. Why sell machines to China if they're just going to copy them?

Because China can waggle a huge target market to tempt people into repeating well documented mistakes

Good point about burning those relationships. As I mentioned previously about "addiction", if you've ever had a family member who's an addict, you can see real quickly how those relationships get burned.

After you've elected to trust that individual one more time only to find the last remaining valuables you owned have been pawned for a fix.

Paper forms are available ... where? In my county, the only place to get a paper form is by printing it out. A lot of people use the library to get access to a computer ... to print the form.

I’m not saying “no” to paper, I’m just talking about the reality that having a computer in at least one part of the process is mandatory.

Their territory reaches very far from London so in person visits for Americans in South Africa means event urgent requests are email only.

Cows like grain mostly since it's pretty easy energy. It's kind of like how we think of candy. But mostly they eat what's called silage. Silage is grass and hay which is primarily cellulose and a bit of chlorophyll.

If a cow doesn't like something it won't eat it unless it is all you feed it. They are pretty deft at picking around stuff they don't like. (They do this when grazing too) As I understand it, the seaweed is just a supplement added to the silage and they voluntarily eat it when it's supplied.

Cows aren't picky eaters. There was once a case where one was caught eating a python. But again, they are all unique individuals just like people. Some like stuff that others don't. Some get neurotic and eat rocks and dirt. I'm sure there are a quite a few cows that don't like seaweed but eat it anyways just for something to do.

I am very aware of the situation, being a resident of Hong Kong, and it's completely different. Hong Kong is indisputably a part of the People's Republic of China, and the Basic Law (our Constitution) is part of the constitution of the PRC. The government of Hong Kong has always emphasised that Hong Kong is part of One Country.

Taiwan is completely self-governed at the moment and sees itself as an independent nation.
There must be something wrong with the OSX implementation then? Container images should be static and won't be duplicated across multiple instances. Maybe I'm wrong about how it should work. My impression was that if I had a 1 GiB image, I could spin up 50 of these, and still use roughly 1 GiB of memory (assuming running process es don't need to allocate much themselves).

Edit: From testing by spinning up 10 MySQL servers, sure looks to be the case. Each runtime allocated approx 215 MiB of memory, which is what the available system memory was reduced by for each. The container image itself was approx 400 MiB.

Well-written article, useful insights, total misunderstanding of the way things like this should be done.

There's an old saying: don't pave cow paths. That's exactly what he was doing. He was putting a different front end on an existing process. You end up with a total nightmare.

Instead, this should be done department-by-department, app-by-app. Design the process from the bottom up. For example: a form to request some document. Start with the documents: how are they stored? Should they be stored differently? Are they in a database? Should we really even be storing documents, or should they just be database entries? For that matter, should the department that manages them even exist? (Here in Chicago, the answer was no. They merged the County Recorder of Deeds office with the County Clerk.)

You should never just move things online. The web is different, and enables different business processes. Change the process first. Forms come later.
Yeah, this is true.

But I personally like having paper that the corporation printed out versus something that I printed out. Like, technically, you can fake the "receipt" page because it's just some html etc. The only thing that proves that what you have is real is the confirmation number and suddenly you're back to hoping that the corporation that asserts you owe them money has and will provide all of their sql databases so that you can show that your confirmation number is genuine.

On the other hand, if I have years of documents they produced and the styles and layout, paper quality, postal records, etc all match what everyone else has in their homes, then, yeah, it could still be faked, but it's a much harder pill for a judge to swallow. Like, at some point people are going to decide that you're either telling the truth or you are a super genius with way too much time on your hands. Either way they're going to tend towards letting you off the hook.

Absent an objective standard (which I agree we'll never have), it seems to me that whether life is worth living should be primarily decided by the liver of that life.

I'm not sure if the unwarranted killing of a person is worse than permitting their torture for months or years on end. I also don't know if that answer changes if for every 1 person who would be killed in an undesirable way that we had to torture 1000 people for an average of 6 months to avoid it.

That's the essence of this debate and it will never find an objective answer that will satisfy all, which is why I default to allowing people to choose, even if some will choose in a way that I would not.
