> we're not a post-scarcity society yet

How can we be sure that we aren't? Or rather, how will we ever be able to tell whether we are living in a post-scarcity society, when artificial scarcity is imposed by those with political power?

We don't have true scarcity in housing. What we have is artificial constraints on building being imposed by the state.

We also don't have scarcity in basic foodstuffs. There's plenty of food. What we have is a system of distribution that requires that people exchange money for food, and the only source of money that most people have is to exchange it for their labor. We could instead just give people enough money to pay for basic food, energy and housing.

There is scarcity in other things, and there will always be scarcity in some things, even in "post-scarcity" societies. Capitalist market economies are usually very efficient at allocating such resources, and people would still have the incentive to work so they can get the extra things that they want to have for themselves or their families. Capitalism can co-exist with a post-scarcity society.

A workable but less "morally bankrupt" system would lower the cost of housing by using government policy to increase supply, and would give people enough cash to pay for basic food, energy and housing through a universal basic income.
Can you share that shortcut? It seems very handy and I have the same problem with reminders. I'll just miss them.
It’s a shame that copilot would not be possible without all the zillions of hours of work that went into writing that code, while the authors of that training data get zero compensation for their contribution to copilot (and zero ability to opt out).
If you already have your project running in a vm then the transition time may not be worth it. Plus the possible land mines you may hit in transitioning. You can gain parity with dev and prod or at least get closer. There may be some security benefits as well as it makes maintaining and updating the system easier. Tending vms is hard and you have to stay on top of updates.

Strawman and false dichotomy fallacies here. 1. I didn’t say Amazon is great, but that’s what you’re responding to. 2. There are more choices than a. Amazon is great and b. Fakespot is great.

I really don’t know who to trust. Fakespot has had far too many problems. My current method is to mainly check 2 and 3 star reviews, hoping for maximum truthiness.
also, is allows you to focus on the problems you are having right now (building a product that runs on a server) instead of theoretical problems you might never reach later. (Scalability and portability).

VM's are quite scalable, especially if you can scale vertically, and they massively reduce complexity.
It's boom and bust cycles. Big booms of fish when the conditions are right and the food is plentiful; big die-offs when the conditions swing the other way. There's always been enough fish that survive the bad times to spark the next boom.

Was the 'high performance Linux' in your case the host OS, or was it rather just another VM?

The octopus analogy seems especially appropriate. The thing about the legs on an actual octopus is that there's a bunch of local compute substrate in them, if you were to nail extra legs onto the octopus those are rubbish compared to its real legs which can think.

For example, move semantics are a peg leg for the octopus. Should an octopus have a peg leg? I'm not a biologist of any sort, but my guess is "No". I can see why C++ wanted to add move (without this performance in some scenarios is just awful) and yet since C++ didn't start out having move semantics and can't give up backward compatibility it has to shoehorn them in with this awkward "hollowed out object" idea. The result is performance still isn't where it could be and the feature is unergonomic.

Yeah, they don't but perhaps the necessary meta could be generated as things are being rendered. It's certainly possible, though I haven't done any actual work on accessibility tools myself. I guess it's not a trivial problem to solve without breaking things here and there, otherwise someone would've done it already. Not impossible I'd think

Not entirely different. Any non-dollar payment takes they employee's purchasing power out of the free market. Tying one's housing options to one's employment opens the door to similar abuses as company stores. Does a fired employee loose thier housing?
> If the waters heat up are you saying that no creatures will ever survive? That’s anti-science.

• Science is a way of finding out about the world, not a list of facts.

• No, actually. Rather, these creatures will die and we might lose entire species, significantly reducing biodiversity.

> The space will be reclaimed by other creatures that can survive in that environment. To think otherwise goes against basic science.

On an evolutionary timescale, something will fill the niche (if the environment remains constant enough for long enough… not looking likely, if you extrapolate from today), but science most certainly hasn't found that this happens with animals over the course of decades.

And you know what they say about basic biology…

Although I think covid vaccine hesitancy is dumb at this point (yet don't think you can punish hesitant people) - Why should only those groups be hesitant? Anyone who can read history can see that happened even if it didn't affect their relatives. The government isn't known for being very effective or trustworthy lately, why should people think their incompetence/malice should be limited to those groups? Plenty of people of all races were attacked by the police last year during peaceful protests. Biden went on to lump protestors with anarchists as well as called doubt on Trump-led vaccines.

I agree:

>1 million mussels died in an area the size of a tennis court.

So, it could be as small as 1000 tennis courts or less then 6.5 acres.

Most likely it was spread over a larger area and this was a spot with a lot of life that got hit hard, but it is a frame of reference
Dunno about all that, but I still haven't seen someone decrypt a message.
- It's something additional you have to learn, although the basics are quite easy to get started.

- It's easy to expose yourself to security issues - never ever run a "docker -p 27017" on a machine facing the Internet or your MongoDB will get hijacked. Only publish ports you want published as in "visible to the Internet". If you want to have separate containers for databases and application, use --link!

- Docker's financing and business model isn't exactly well thought out IMHO. Docker itself is open source commodity tech by now, but it's well possible that Docker-the-company goes belly up.
a fact is a metastatement and thus subject to unprovability. not guaranteed unproveable but potentially unproveable whether it's proveable.

> Why have the RDBMS as the default?

It's possibly the sanest default for a data persistence layer. I'd argue otherwise: use a RDBMS unless you know what you are doing.

> the number of web applications that make effective use of database-level transactions is approximately zero

Almost every driver and layer (ORMs, etc) that connect to databases use transactions. Transparently or not, but it uses them. So actually they are using transactions all the time.

> You're far better off starting with a system that does seamless active-active

Think about what means active-active. Either it means that you serialize everything in every active node (pointless); or you need to deal with concurrency and data synchronization. Which in turn means either supporting distributed transactions (e.g. via Paxos or RAFT protocols) or doing conflict resolution (which essentially is a nice way of saying "data loss"). Both problems are much, much harder than the (usually harmless) consequences of using transactions on a "classical" RDBMS.

The only drawbacks of transactions are that are limited to scale in write on a single node. But if this single node can scale to the numbers I mentioned ---and they do, and more-- most use cases will likely fit within this envelope.

Therefore being RDBMSs like Postgres the best and safest, the default, approach that should be taken for data persistence layers.
The essence of punk is countercultural: we did this for ourselves, and we are proud that you hate it and won’t accept it.

This, of course, results in a cyclical identity crisis: can a utopian value punk maintain both their values and their punk identity in a post-punk world, where the utopian values have been realized and made mainstream? Which one will they go for: do they turn against their previously held values in an attempt to uphold their punk-ness, or do they shed their punk status now that their punk values are no longer punk?

Considering how much extraneous identity burden punks often carry in style and music, I find it unlikely that solarpunks would be content in a mainstream solarpunk world. They would prefer to maintain their punk identities and seek out a new punk.

And that is why this ”solarpunk” may yet throw its baby out with the bathwater if its message gets interpreted as a holistic lifestyle instead of what it is: an art movement.

It "causes problems" when you "let" an employee quit a job too soon?

Edit: I know HN hates tedious back-and-forths, so let me just jump to the substantive point: any time you have a situation where you have special carve-outs for an essential good, you're not really solving the problem, you're just encouraging people to game it. See the past thread about enrolling in college part time to get health insurance.

While obesity is a problem and the solutions heavily involve the person changing their life, it is not comparable to vaccines.

Fixing obesity involves education (not everyone knows why McDonalds is junk, or that too much of anything can be bad, meaning portion control), skills training/learning (cooking healthy food can be a big leap for someone who only microwaves a frozen meal), local environment (there are places with poor selection of fresh vegetables), lifestyle stuff beyond food (stress from working two jobs leads to eating badly, drinking, etc), and socioeconomic changes (not everyone can afford all of the above easily). That doesn't even involve things like getting you kids on board, fitness, etc.

And with all of that in place, significant weight loss is a long term effort spamming years for some people.

Getting a vaccine involves rolling up a sleeve then sitting for a bit in case of reactions. And maybe making an appointment.

Equating the two grossly overstates how hard it can be to deal with obesity vs getting a shot.
I'm honestly confused why you linked a data sheet that practically has no data.
Clearly you are not a Node.is dev.
It seems like the only better alternative might be a fixed price based on count/average yield. It’s not perfect, but it seems possible that you could pay a farmer more (net of water costs) and the supplier could save money (net energy and transport costs). It wouldn’t work with all foods, but the volume of tomatoes alone could be meaningful.
Not a founder. The catch is that docker fixes the Linux dependency hell problem that stems from the fact that the server Linux distribution may not have the dependencies you need for running your application and if you install your dependencies that are not in the distro repository, such as shared libraries or other executables, that may override the existing ones and mess the system or break something. Even a native executable may fail to run in the server if it is using an older version of version of GlibC than the one the application was linked against. Therefore, this problem may also affect ruby and python libraries written in C, C++ or Fortran. Other advantage is that docker reproduces entirely the development environment and encapsulates its configuration. So, docker also saves time that would be spent on manual system configuration chores, editing configuration files, creating symbolic links and so on. By using docker or any other container technology such as Podman from Read-Hat one can also get pre-configured and pre-made systems up and running quicker and also swap the configuration.

A reason, for not using docker would be when using any application written in Go (Golang) since Go static links almost everything and does not even rely on Linux GlibC (GNU C library), so an application built with Golan can even run in old distributions.

> It "causes problems" when you "let" an employee quit a job too soon?

The law isn’t code; mental state matters. If you got a job to buy a subsidised house with a plan to quit, in a small town, that will cause you problems. If you provided that sham job, it will cause you problems.

Maybe they hired a great lawyer and never sent any text messages about their brilliant plan to defraud their neighbours. But most probably they didn’t, and that fact pattern would certainly be enough to warrant scrutiny.
If you don't need it, then don't use it. This goes for all tools.

I'm old and I've been using chroot jails since 2005. So I was never really impressed by docker. But if I ever needed to use it for scalability or dev reasons I would.

Viral transmission in a large traced outbreak caused by the Delta variant
I'd like to think that instantaneous change is merely the result of a system whose true state cannot be represented during the calm years. Permanent accumulation of durable objects is a fundamental problem. Whether it is money, land or power.

It's when their apparent value and their real value diverge that problems manifest. The solution has always been to let them deteriorate just like their physical counterparts. We have democracy with frequent elections to deteriorate power. We have inflation to deteriorate money. Where are the land value taxes that deteriorate land? Property taxes do exist but some states decided to freeze them, creating an extreme wealth transfer from the future to the past.

The housing crisis that makes the hiring crisis inevitable has been in the making for decades. If the price to rent ratio gets insane it will have to go down eventually, all at once instead of year by year. Of course it is entirely possible that people end up waiting half a lifetime for a correction.

If we want to prevent a crisis we have to do a little readjustment to reality continuously but people love to deny reality right until the moment it catches up.

Let's talk about a more familiar concept: Inflation. People hate it. They hate it so much they would rather see as little inflation as possible even if it comes at the risk of even more inflation in the future. The current inflation rate is a good example. It's high. It's definitively too high for a single year. However, when you look at the past 10 years it is just right. It's not high enough to raise interest rates because we have a lot of inflation to catch up on. We are like a student that forgot to do his homework and now has to do twice as much.

The housing market has a lot of catching up to do and when it happens it won't be pretty. Corrections are inevitable, we can only shift their date. I would argue that healthy markets merely correct themselves very frequently so the impact of every single correction is perceived to be insignificant.
Don’t disagree that we’ll see significant uptake of electric vehicles over the next 10-20 years in Western countries. But Asia and Africa will be 20-30 years behind that curve.
The payment is the cheaper housing options due to employeers needing to fill units with local workers. The evil is that, once so housed, the employee is no longer free to take non-local work. Are these people free to quit and start a remote-work job?

When I let the VM sit idle for a while before trying again, the LG splash was back. Rebooting the VM also seems to bring back the splash reliably.
