> YoY trends don't matter in isolation as you're trying to decide to make an investment.

What.

You 100% can make investing decisions in isolation. I don't think this is what you meant you say, because this makes absolutely no sense at all. If someone comes to me and says "if you give me a dollar today, I'll give you $10 tomorrow" I really don't need to consider anything else. Sure, someone else might say "I'll give you $11 instead", but if the deal is there and I can analyze that the risk of default is minimal, then I can absolutely make that decision in isolation.

That had become less common because software has famously high gross margins that aren’t necessarily linearly tied to revenue, but allbirds are shoes.

Immunity to Covid-19 Could Last Longer Than You'd Think[ELI5]
Perhaps you're not understanding corporate bureaucracy. Nobody wants to be the manager who gets fired for trying to save $25k by switching from Docker Desktop to {insert random open source project here}. Not only is it not worth the time or the risk, but the engineering manager's exact purpose is to traverse the corporate bureaucracy. It gives them job security. Plus the engineering manager can negotiate big discounts with the vendor and can brag about that on their own performance reviews.
I think this is a textbook example of a comment that adds negative value to the conversation.
> I've found Docker Desktop to be equally awful with Windows. You'd think they'd care about giant swathes of the market like that.

The fact that they don't care, and yet you (or if not you, others) still use it, succinctly explains why they do not care.

If they have a shitty, buggy client for Mac/Windows, and people complain about it but still use it, then they have no incentive to care.

When you tried the carbon steel pan, was it properly seasoned? They stick like hell before they are well seasoned, but seasoning them gives the carbon steel its non-stick properties. Woks are the ultimate tool for this, as they are carbon steel (so non-stick when seasoned) and their shape minimizes the amount of oil necessary to fry the rice. It is ubiquitous for fried rice across almost all of Asia.
The corollary is the same thing happening which caused Apple to move to the Intel CPUs, basically, Motorola being unable to squeeze more performance out of it.

I use similar "clever tricks", albeit with SSH and socks to do the same type of testing.

DNS can be funky, its useful to test resolution externally and internally.

Traffic can be funky when routed, its useful to t-shoot sites through a proxy here and there as there have been times it works internally and is broken externally (often security appliances are inline that may need debugging).

I'm not a Mac user (anymore) but I often ask myself this, as well. MacOS is buggy as hell, the UI sucks, and a stock Ubuntu or Fedora installation is much, much, much more usable, particularly for development tasks.

From what I've been able to gather, there are two reasons:

1. Vidya (this is somewhat valid)

2. Status signaling (but you'll never get them to admit it)

That's it, full stop. You either need to play Fortnite, or your status needs to be affirmed by others. There's a small minority who pretend that LibreOffice can't open MS Office docs, but considering 99% of corporate Mac users use G Suite in the browser for docs anyway, this is a ludicrous complaint.

Just accept that they care about their public image, or like to play vidya, and move on.
You guys (by you guys I mean you and Docker, Inc) would do yourselves a huge favor not spiting the Linux devs who invented the technologies you build your tools on.

Folder mapping, which both options provide.
A lot of the driver here is not in the moment short-sightedness, but rather a byproduct of the procurement or other finance processes (ironically often instituted with intent to prevent waste and fraud or make the company more efficient).

It’s not just the $250/yr/dev, but rather the requirements to create a new vendor in the ERP morass, to get approvals for an exception to the standards for payment terms (and/or methods), any requirements for vetting vendors, etc.

If you’re selling to an enterprise, don’t charge just above whatever the “employees can put it on their card without approval”. If you’re going to exceed that, you might as well exceed it by a lot. (If you’re going to make every developer file an expense report every month, I can readily prefer to do a lot of command line typing rather than filing an expense report… If I automate that for a lot of my fellow devs, I get to do something fun and be a minor folk hero.)

Shameful? What's shameful about it? Software entitlement is outrageous. It's the only field where people expect professionals to keep doling out labor for free and then complain about the free stuff.

If it isn't already abundantly clear to you: free software isn't sustainable. It's built on the backs of people who provide it for whatever reason they choose.

This be a beggar so I can continue to have free stuff mentality has got to go.

Identifying 5-10 absolute colors is similar in difficulty to being able to identify whether a note is bass, baritone, tenor or soprano. Which anybody who knows what those 4 words mean would be able to do.

Except for border or overlapping notes of course. Giving them one of those would be like expecting cyan to be consistently labelled as blue or green.
Yeah, but the comfort for the employee will go up because they get to define their own space and not have to share it. If they want blinding lights and warm: you got it. If they want darkness and cold: you got it.

More accurately, they’re paying people $14 to buy a $20 shoe that cost $9 to make. And they’re not just “keeping the money” because they’re hoping to be valued on a revenue multiple.
I think it’s KissMetrics that began as clear market leader, before losing to Mixpanel.

KissMetrics had great content marketing, its blog was educating a generation of startup founders on how to use analytics.

There is a post-mortem from the founder somewhere explaining how they lost that initial advantage. IIRC, basically worse vision/execution than Mixpanel (as they were basically the same product).

Yes. Another key thing with colour is we can't visually see the difference between a full spectrum (like sunlight) and where there only a few peaks being broadcast (like an LED display) as long as they fall on the cones similarly.

Aurally we are incredibly good at understanding ratios, which the fundamental basis of music, in a way that the eye is not. Whether we can hear and state the difference between F4 and F#4 is simply not a priority of the body as these scales are constructed culturally.

The eye and ear are simply built very differently for different purposes.
It's pretty clear that the comments on this forum have gotten worse over the years, and I really really doubt banning people from calling that out is going to solve the problem.

how many workers are losing by working remotely

I think the big losers are the service workers that provided services for all of those office employees: coffee shop workers, restaurants, drycleaners, caterers that provided employee lunches, cleaning people, etc.

A Starbucks, a drycleaner and 2 or 3 restaurants that were in my former office building have shut down permanently. My company stopped stocking snacks and catering lunches 3 days a week, and presumably they or the building have cut back on cleaning as well as general building maintenance staff.

Some of those jobs will come back when (if) we return to in-office work, but since it will probably be part time in-office work, not all of those jobs will be back.

Food trucks seem to be doing pretty well - when employees dispersed, they did too. I don't go into the city much since I don't go to the office, but now I visit the same food trucks in my own town and they seem to be pretty busy.

I would assume it's the upbringing because I don't think impulse control is actually a very natural behavior. There's a reason it's called "primal rage".

On the flip side, self-control, impulse control, being able to manage your emotions with a toolbox: these are skills that are learned, honed, and mastered. Sure, many people learn them through other means than from their parents, often as a survival necessity in their environments, but I don't think that e.g. the people who fly off the handle and get into a bar fight when someone's hitting on their girlfriend, are doing so because of heavy metal poisoning or genetics.
Because you can map your working folder inside it on both Multipass and WSL2, and you can get an integrated editor experience with VS Code, which is what many people apparently want to do (I’m a tmux guy so I don’t care, but I thought I’d provide a user-friendly approach).
In case using Kythe was an option, what was the rationale for not using it?

One major limitation of Kythe is handling different versions. For example, Kythe can produce a well connected index of Stackage, but a Hackage would have many holes (not all references would be found, as the unique reference name needs the library version).

I've done a fair amount of plsql programming as well, did not see it as a big problem. When processing a lot of data i definitely prefer it to doing the same in java/python/... Executing queries with jdbc, mapping resultsets to java objects, writing back changes is cumbersome and bad performance.

Working with plsql packages is like programming in pascal/modula 2 but with first class SQL support built in. A bit like linq in c#.

For example, I don't see how for cursor loops in plsql like documented here: https://www.oracletutorial.com/plsql-tutorial/plsql-cursor-f... are less elegant than doing something similar with java or python.

I had some fun with my piano tuner to 'check' his tuning using a stroboscope for each individual string (not a choir) after he was done and it was quite amazing to see how accurate he was. And what blows me away is how fast an experienced tuner can work, what would take me hours - and with tremendous fatigue in hearing afterwards - takes him 1/2 hour and with much better results.

I've worked in and around government for some time and the reputation for being slow and bureaucratic is well deserved but my observation is that it's a trade off. You can have government services that are fast or corrupt. Make your choice. It's generally slow because if you don't want it to be corrupt you're going to have to have processes, procedures, oversight, etc. basically bureaucracy. If you want it fast, people are going to take advantage of the lack of oversight to enrich themselves. You might find slow government services frustrating but I think a corrupt system would be much worse.
There reality of this is that Docker is setting themselves up as an enterprise software business. Like the one they spun out a short while ago.

You as a developer won’t be involved with purchasing Docker subscriptions. Instead they’ll have sales teams that approach your IT department who will pay for support reasons and pre install Docker Desktop on all company hardware.

That’s why this is only focused at larger companies. This gives IT departments someone to call when a developer reports a problem.

Not really. Because his art is not the token. The NFT is a representation of his art, but it is not unique or unclonable. There is nothing that prevents this token from being copied -- this is by design.

Thanks for the questions!

It's a database with purpose-built primitives for recording financial transactions between accounts, particularly two-phase commit transactions between different payment systems run by different operators.

Over the past decade or so, some of our team saw that these primitives kept getting re-implemented over and over again, often with duct tape ad-hoc solutions that are not always safe, or scalable.

At the same time, the payments world is rapidly changing. Things are moving to high volume, low value digital transactions, which means that operational cost becomes important.

We extracted the design for TigerBeetle out of a real-world payment switch, so that TigerBeetle can be transplanted into these kinds of systems very easily, and in a way that's very hard to get wrong because the interface maps one-to-one to the domain.

We also solve a storage fault model that's relatively new in the research literature, something that most traditional databases were never designed for, and we do this because this makes for a safer system of record, not to mention a better operating experience.

If anything, we place the pursuit of safety much higher than the pursuit of performance. We work much harder at the safety, the performance came pretty easily with the design right from the beginning. So the safety of TigerBeetle is what we're most excited about. The performance is a nice-to-have to go with it.

These are hopefully "the things that don't change" when it comes to databases. Nobody wanted a less convenient, or more dangerous, or slower database.

> Examples of bad markets ... Marketplaces - suddenly you have 2 businesses instead of 1

It'd be far more accurate to say that marketplaces are very difficult products/services to build out, not bad markets. And you plainly don't have two businesses, the two sides of the marketplace are not separate businesses at all, they're two required aspects to that one business. That's not uncommon in business. If you open a convenience store you don't just need inventory, or a building/location, or employees, or customers, or a POS system, you need all of those things, that doesn't mean it's multiple businesses.

There are few better businesses than marketplaces once you get one established. They're monsters then. You have to nearly intentionally screw them up to lose the captured market. Just ask eBay, across its existence it has just about done every variety of thing wrong you can (not at the same time), and its monopoly remains 20+ years later, printing fat margins the entire time. Nobody can unseat it. There it is, $2b-$3b in operating income year after year. Amazon tried to take them down and failed spectacularly. What eBay does isn't complex per se, it's that they successfully built a marketplace, and that tends to come with a huge moat. Etsy will likely enjoy a similar moat, assuming they don't do anything drastic to mess it up.

Yeah, that's the biggest issue; right now Docker Desktop is the only supported way of installing Docker on Windows: https://docs.docker.com/engine/install/#supported-platforms That's literally the only reason I use it.

There's probably a fairly simple way to run Docker directly in WSL, but a lot of documentation is going to need to be updated to point to that method.

When I mentioned exactly that in a previous comment I was downvoted. Funny.
I honestly don't think I could get Docker Desktop through our procurement process before the end of the grace period. It's not a matter of "this is peanuts" as much as "we're guaranteed to breach the license terms if we keep using this thing, so everyone has to get off it now." And then once it's gone, we'll limp along with whatever plugs the gap until something else emerges a as a winner, which probably won't be Docker Desktop.

You don't need VSCode specifically, but it does provide an alternative GUI for managing Docker containers that isn't tied directly to Docker Desktop.
