• For a lot of people, having to learn something new as an adult, no matter how small, causes them some kind of psychic pain.

• People (all animals?) seem to have a quirk about learning hygiene practices in particular, where the criteria they have for what is hygenic/unhygenic gets formed when they're children, and then becomes unalterable. People generally seem to intuitively believe that whatever hygiene practices they were taught as children, are exactly the set of things they need to do feel clean. No more, no less. And so they don't go out actively looking for new hygiene practices (or for hygiene technologies that would suggest new hygiene practices.)

I believe "docker desktop" on mac includes all the various plumbing to get the docker cli working transparently (vs. running docker yourself in a VM)
Docker have never done the one obvious thing to monetise - an upsell and enterprise support for the engine.

Trying to be a poor mans pivotal was a stupid strategy, and developer tools is awkward too.

I’m convinced if they charged $10 per engine per month they would have kept all of the goodwill and momentum and been the next VMWare.
If you are on Linux and using only the open-source bits (that's what I do) and have subscription for the registry, why would you be moving anywhere? What does this change bring that I am missing? As I understand it the change only affects Docker Desktop, which is for MacOS and Windows.

Although NFT buyers can be unbelievably gullible, I don't think it applies to all circumstances, including this one. I would say the NFT creators are more gullible, as its actually quite crowded at the bottom with the majority of works ignored, and they are the ones paying hundreds of dollars in transaction fees to release their NFTs, after spending time on it.

Basically, for this, the artist's words are just icing on the cake. The story is good enough, and it also inherits a provenance that is lightyears beyond anything outside of the NFT space, which alone has value, simply because it was first and predates anything Banksy subsequently releases.

What is actually happening in the NFT space is community building. Where certain NFTs convey a belonging to a community. If you had transparent information from other surrogates for the same thing, you would see similar or greater values of transactions over the last 30 years. How many people spent time and energy evolving a Charizard? How many communities were made around that? What if the Charizard had global-state enforced scarcity? Are they gullible? Replace with any other coveted item. For now, these are the kinds of NFTs actually making the headlines.
Naively I'd guess that it's because sound is all munged up into two serial ports, whereas color is perceived simultaneously through a matrix of rods and cones of different sensitivities, each dealing with a tiny section of the visual field, and when that field changes, doing consistency checks with each other, filtering out effects due to changing light sources and qualities.

That seems pretty consistent with this, which as far as I can tell is saying that people who perform perfect pitch get good at filtering out common timbres.

I bet it'd be pretty easy to train people to identify 12 sine wave tones consistently, at the same volume and from the same position.

That's why I really like Dupuis's 1910 textbook. Gets the right amount of basic information and math.

I'd really like to see how Newton, Kepler or Copernicus went about making their calculations, step by step. Break it down point by point to make it understandable without skipping steps. Like to see how Ptolmey constructed the star table.

Too many science books are either popular in nature with no math, or for someone doing a masters in the field. I guess there is not a large enough audience of people in the middle to justify writing such books.
Yes, I know. I keep my work machines separate (always have, by personal policy), so I never had to deal with that. But the auth limitations and general feature gaps have always prevented me from even thinking about trying, and are more representative than specific policies.
CO2 sensors are common in commercial HVAC systems - especially for large auditoriums or rooms where you expect high occupancy. Economizers will automatically open to increase the exchange of outside air. My church has an auditorium that can seat up to 1500 - all four AC units have CO2 detection built into them and the concentration is displayed on the controls too.
We had that (leading with the head) in the 90s as an old school training for o-line in Missouri. However at the time they had switched the good players on the line to just using their hands as they had started allowing grabbing "inside the numbers". Still took a while for the transition to trickle down.

All of the higher end camps and college camps taught using hands. Then I played in college, the people who hit with their heads on the line were hopelessly outclassed. We had a senior who was a physical monster but just loved using his shoulder/head to block, he never was put on the field (dude got a PHD in high energy lasers at the same time). It massively limits visibility and frankly, you can't HOLD with your head, which is, again, legal. Your hands are massively better. And the right amount of work in the weight-room you get your chest and triceps as big as most people's arms, you end up being able to double hit people. First hit is coming in with the arms and stopping their momentum by bending your arms. Second hit is that you can literally bench press them so you then shove them very quickly off balance or to the ground.

Even when we did less than savory tactics, often out of desperation, like a leg whip (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RHdPcaRAkeg watch the running back in the first 5 seconds come in from the left) they taught us to have our heads up looking for the next person to block.

The coaches we had in high school were not very smart and were doing it as a part time job based on what they remembered from high school. The coaches in college were professionals and did constant training and improvement.

It's a short sited move that will kill D.Desktop. It's not that these large corps don't have the money for this, it's how money is allocated in companies. Instead, now all hobby projects in large corp get killed fast and early because the hobbyist knows their project is doomed if the company isn't going to go for a new bill.

HX-63: The Scandalous History of the Last Rotor Cipher Machine
It makes me sad every time I think about it, but Aaron Swartz did this during his saga. Well, sort of: he incremented the MAC address by 1.

Point being, it's not foolproof. If some clever undergrad is thinking about dodging the suits, win by fooling them, not by fighting them.

If you do insist on fighting, though, start at https://www.whonix.org/wiki/Mental_Model and then read the entire Whonix wiki https://www.whonix.org/wiki/Documentation. It's what I used when I was serious about dodging the cartels, and that knowledge will protect you as much as anything will.

(You'll hopefully conclude that the protection is too brittle to risk your life, as I did.)
To be fair, it's a complicated issue. Maybe not every single one of your ancestors was suffering; as far as we know maybe you had nobility 3000 years ago who lived like gods. Similarly, perhaps you're living through things that they would find it incredibly difficult to go through. Lastly, to this point

> My ancestors managed to survive and reproduce through ALL OF THAT, and I can't

The bar is very low. All you know is that your ancestors all lived long enough to reproduce, and then reproduced. It's not difficult to pass that bar today with means that were available back then: alcohol, patience, effort, luck for example (and that even leaves out the darker ways that reproduction happens, which happens more than people like to talk about).

If it's something you want (and related to a base instinct like eating and using the bathroom), it's doable. Join a church or other such community and you may even find people going out of their way to help you reproduce.

I'm in a similar boat to op. I love my MacBook Pro (and other apple products) but after the Apple debacle, I've decided to go back to Fedora.

I'm building my own custom 16 core 64GB 7000MB/s NVMe workstation but if I were looking for a laptop, I'd consider the ThinkPad X1 Carbon Gen 9. I found out about it through the Fedora Magazine website. Interesting thing about the laptop is that you can order it with retina screen. Just choose 3840 x 2400 14" option. The laptop comes preinstalled with Fedora so you know it's Linux friendly at the least.
I have not used IDEA for a couple of years now:

- "Set next statement" is a biggie: when you see a variable have incorrect value at the end of the function, you can just move the "next statement" pointer back to the beginning of the function and retrace it without letting execution leave and reenter the function in program's normal flow. This also works when stack is unwinding due to an exception. Combined with Edit-And-Continue I find it more convenient than REPL.

Looks like this might have been implemented at least partially in 2018 and later JetBrains products, but probably only for Python and C#.

The ticket for Java was created in 2003... https://intellij-support.jetbrains.com/hc/en-us/community/po...

- Mixed mode debugging, where you could debug code in multiple languages (usually C++ and C#): helps a lot with interop code.

Others are just UI or convenience differences, which are opinionated.
I'm not seeing where this relates to organizational dysfunction. Using an external point to test a system is a standard practice.

I'm also a little confused because preventing someone from using their abilities to problem solve would be a cause of dysfunction -- a seemingly avoidable one.

Ben, that was a good read - a lot of good advice packed into a short read.
> To me, it's about how many language features/keywords/constructs etc. one must keep in their head to effectively write code, including writing the standard library.

This is only a partial measure. Imagine that you are working with a string. You must keep the basic properties of strings in your head: Unicode string, byte string, byte string with defined encodings, byte string that decodes as UTF-8 by default, null-terminated, C ABI compatibility, length-limited, can or cannot contain lone surrogate code points, mutable or immutable, ownership, thread safety, copy-on-write, tree-structured (e.g. ropes), locale dependent or independent, grapheme clusters and so on. These properties are not a part of language proper but still something that occupies your consciousness and definitely relates to the complexity. And even more so if you want to do something with strings (we call them idioms, which are very important parts of the language that people normally doesn't perceive so).
Agree. Thats pretty interesting.

I use an SSH session and SOCKS5 proxy on a VPS provider for almost all of those other circumstances. Including checking external access etc.

But the last one is a solid use case.
I think it depends on the software. I have ended up with dozens of PHPStorm windows, because of a situation where windows would be restored on branch change but not auto-closed. Combining them into one icon made it manageable.

I have a question about monopolies and market abuses.

Apple released their phone in 2007, the App Store in 2008, and in-app payments in 2009. During that time their marketshare was fairly small, and it didn't start to really grow until they expanded availability to the Verizon network in 2011.

Right at launch of the App Store, Apple announced its sales commission would be 30%. Then they extended that same fee to in-app purchases a year later. At the same time they set the rules that third-party app stores were not allowed, and that third-party payment processors could not be used.

I'm mentioning all of this history to make this point: Apple made these rules when they were not a monopoly by any definition. They released these products, with these rules, into a free market and let the market (both users and developers) decide which products to use and which products to develop for.

Now, obviously, between 2007 and 2021 the iPhone has been a wild success. Its platform has grown in users and developers every year.

So in terms of the framing of "market abuse", at what point between the launch of these rules and now did Apple cross that threshold between free-market competitor who can legally control their own platform to monopolist abusing its power?

I'm asking this question not just to make a point, but because I think it will be instructive for future companies to understand where in the growth curve the rules they started with can potentially cross over into being "abusive".
I mean you can easily identify 5-10 absolute colour frequencies, but how many can identify even a single absolute tone?

Ordering things in relative order isn't very relevant to this discussion I think, since the point was about the difficulty in detecting absolute sound frequencies. And of course, anyone can put all the notes on a piano in relative order.
Bad headlines with inaccurate, overhyped verbs are trampling straightforward reasoning
By outlawing what a lot of consumers considered a very useful feature, and that is limiting the choices of developers. Developers may not like it, but there’s a value in restrictions, especially in something as sensitive as payments.

With sensitive data flowing through a lot more companies, it’s going to be a shit show, it’s just a matter of time.

> This young man appears to be able to go from 0 to 100 very quickly with little self control.

Maybe this is Captain Obvious speaking, but poor impulse control seems like the single common denominator among a whole load of social ills that consistently land people in trouble (legal, financial, social, across lots of spectrums). From crimes of opportunity/passion, to short-tempers and "blowing up" on people in public or private, to impulse shopping, to road rage, to everything you see on r/PublicFreakout, and so on. Seems that some people just entirely miss that part of their upbringing, and suffer needlessly for it for the rest of their lives.

EDIT: This thread took a wild turn. I guess I never considered there might be a genetic or environmental explanation. Much food for thought!
I've never had a problem with it. I've been using docker engine in WSL2 for a couple years.

I install `docker.io` via apt and its good to go except that package has on some ubuntu versions been missing the /etc/init.d/ startup script.

I build my WSL2 environments via Dockerfile. You can see everything here:

https://github.com/SeanTAllen/wsl-environments/tree/main/ubu...

Using that dockerfile I can then export the file system as a tar (https://wiki.seantallen.com/notes/docker-export-filesystem/) and import into wsl using the wsl import command.

Everyone should be treated equally in the court. A court that prioritizes the victim is barely batter than having a system based on vigilante justice.
New York Times articles really disappointing me lately.
The comment you're responding to is talking about general aviation, small propeller planes. Those have a relatively high incident count for flying into bad weather. When the pilot is only trained to fly visually (VFR) and enters low visibility or clouds they're very likely to crash.

This isn't a problem in airline flights. There are very specific rules about when you can and cannot depart and when an alternate airport and fuel for it is required. No airline takes off without satisfying all the rules and almost no airline cancels a flight for weather while the rules say it could go.
you're just ignorant. this is something all famous people and public figures understand. once you hit a certain threshold for volume of people, some of them are guaranteed to be aberrant, violent, and/or unstable. it doesnt have anything to do with who you are or what you've done (although you can certainly attract more if you try) - at least 1 person has a serious problem with you.

the specifics here matter too. court cases are adversarial and high-stakes. the court-going population isnt as stable as the general population.

In a perfect world, yes. But I've worked with/at places where ineptitude is rampant, and any attempts of understanding their reasoning is seen as insubordination.
Actually if everyone had a personal power storage system they could probably reduce their bills alone with just that. Buy the power during the cheap hours and then use it later in the evening when it's 10 cents per kw more.
Yes, we need more features in browsers. There just aren't enough. It's just too restrictive. We don't need to carefully consider the tradeoffs.

That just means that you're lucky to not have been at the receiving end of this.

"Lunatics" don't usually kick down random doors, in the vast majority of cases. They usually have a targeted person in mind, and they stalk that target. They may even be associated with a former perpetrator that is already behind bars. Courts posting the victim's residential address on the internet is not helpful to their safety, yet the law's biggest responsibility should be to keep innocent people safe.
