> There's a standards conversion going on where we can trace the provenance of each and every layer of the image, we can start signing those layers, and with that metadata, we can start doing automated decisioning, automated reporting, automated visibility into what's been done to that image at each step of the lifecycle.

Docker's CEO is being disingenuous. When you deploy a Docker container, you specify the image ID. The ID looks like a SHA-256 digest and even starts with the string 'sha256' but it is an arbitrary value generated by the docker daemon on the local machine. The ID is not a hash of the image contents [0, 1]. In other words, docker images are not content-addressed.

Since docker images are not content-addressed, your image registry and image transfer tools can subvert the security of your production systems. The fix is straightforward: make an image ID be the SHA-256 digest of the image contents, which is the same everywhere: on your build system, image registry, test system, and production hosts. This fix will increase supply chain security for all Docker users. It is massive low-hanging fruit.

Now Docker will add image signatures without first making images content-addressed. Their decision makes sense only if their goal is to make money and not make a secure product. I cannot trust a company with such priorities.

Really appreciate the detailed answer @sjy! That makes sense, so it seems odd to me that this article is claiming this is effectively "warrantless". Functionally, it sounds like law enforcement still have to present their case to a judge and then there is a path for recourse on behalf of the citizen.

Maybe because US and Europe hoarded the vaccines?

I wouldn't give all the credit to the government for the low infection rate last year. I think it was mostly fear and reaction of people. e.g. by the time government started ordering restrictions, most companies had already switched to fully remote. Toilet papers were already gone from the supermarket shelves. People were already bunkering down. Then in a few weeks the infection peaked, and 2 months later students were back in school.

Since that initial success, the state governments improved their contact tracing process, which was successful to eliminate outbreaks every now and then, while things were mainly normal for most the year (except overseas travel).

Unfortunately, in late June this year, the Delta variant arrived to Sydney, and it proved impossible to control. The world-class contact-tracing process failed to stop the infection rate. So we are still in lock-down, with cases still increasing over a 1000 per day in the state (NSW).

However, other states in Australia are still enjoying full freedom. Probably, because they do snap lock-downs (3 to 7 days) whenever a case appears in the community.

Vaccination, the federal government put most of their eggs in one basket. It planned to produce and use the AZ vaccine, but the AZ blood clot issues, derailed their plans. So they stopped or limited AZ, and went begging for Pfizer doses. They are struggling to get enough of this, so they can acchieve 80% rate, to start re-openning the states currently in lock-down.

There might be plenty of vaccines in US and Europe, but unfortunately the rest of world can't get enough of it.

I can understand the initial delay in vaccination in AU & NZ, because given the scarcity of vaccines, and the high death rates in other countries, it would preferable the vaccines were given to those countries first.

I've personally seen it help someone who was getting significantly worse day after day. The effect was undeniable, and makes it infuriating to see claims of the drug as being dangerous or needing more study. Because the FDA is the FDA doesn't mean what they're publishing isn't misinformation. The dose used was about the same as would be used for malaria, within hours of the first dose there was already massive improvement in breathing and overall energy. After further doses it wasn't long before complete recovery. To deny easy access to this sort of thing, for doctors not to offer it as an option when a patient is found to have covid, is criminal.

Where is the basis of any of the FDA's claims? Because the mechanism of action isn't fully understood? Does it matter when it saves lives?
As someone who studied music throughout school and played for quite some time, there is clearly be something innate about perfect pitch. I think a good allegory is people who can multiply giant numbers in their heads easily (previously referred to as "idiot savants" though that term sounds ridiculous now). While the rest of us can certainly practice and improve our multiplication skills, we'll always be missing some connection that allows them to do so effortlessly.

The link below is a study which shows that the distribution of pitch recognition among the general populace is bimodal (you have to scroll down a bit). This matches with my experience that, irrespective of practice, people either have it or they don't.

My (limited!) understanding is that mutations that make pathogens more contagious but less fatal are evolutionarily advantageous, so to the degree we can talk about Covid-19 having “self-interest,” becoming ever closer to Bad Case of Flu is within it.

With Docker, even if 1 dev spent 2 days coming up with a perfect solution that would allow all 7 devs to move away from DD without wasting 1 second of productivity you're still losing out vs sticking with DD at their new annual rates. To me that's a very strong business case.

> Another question: since the price for Docker Desktop already got arbitrarily changed with no notice, why would you believe that it won't go up in the future?

Personally, I'll worry about a future notice when it happens. A meteor could wipe out all of humanity tomorrow but I try not to think of "what ifs".

The article defines inequality to be one of the top 7 "wicked problems", on the same level as "war" and "climate collapse". They say these problems are "an existential threat to our future as a civilization".

Inequality is? Really?

Given that I don't believe that inequality is on the same level of threat as war or climate collapse, they might do better to explain why they think so, rather than just to state that it is true. Because, frankly, I think they are quite mistaken, and just running on about it being so is really not very persuasive. Even calling it a "wicked problem" leaves me unmoved. Tell my why... and they don't.

> Hard disagree. On a 15.6" 1080p really is sufficient.

Considering what I've recently learned about the fractional scaling mess, I would only buy laptops with a 1440p or 4K display because they don't need fractional scaling.

I really wish there were more 24 inch 4K or 27 inch 5K monitors on the market and not the 27 inch 4K mess we're getting. I'm not sure what monitor manufacturers are thinking.
I don't understand your argument at all. Could you explain why you think the two are connected?

Hi HN, I hope you will enjoy this app. I was inspired to make it because my daughter likes to make little doodles on my iPad, and I thought it would be fun to add a "sticker" effect so they stand out better against a solid background... then I thought it would be fun to turn it into a Messages sticker app; next thing you know Sticker Doodle was born.

I launched the app with translations in English, Spanish, German, Italian, Arabic, Japanese, and Chinese. Everything is stored and sync'd with iCloud, and there is full support for dynamic text sizes and light/dark mode. I took great care to make it an app everyone around the world could use and enjoy.

I'm happy to answer questions or take feedback! Lots of features and updates already added to the todo list :)

You’re quite right, but it is exceptional that the bill passed the House of Representatives on the same day as its second reading speech, and passed the Senate on the following day [1].

It's been made more general than just grid (it used to be called grid-gap) and works with flexbox too. I don't know if Safari supports it in flexbox yet and it's a pain to detect with @supports because Safari _does_ support gap but in a different context, but it works fine in Chrome and Firefox.

Edit: just checked, Safari 14.1 added support for using gap with Flexbox.
I'm arguing that wide angles are only more representative if you use fisheye distortion and project the image onto a curved media.

If you're using flat media and rectilinear optics, shorter lenses get progressively less and less representative of human vision.

> the photographer and photograph are telling you what to look at.

This is always true at every focal length. Your choice of composition informs the viewer whether it's a wide angle shot or super-telephoto.

> ...wide lenses are so useful and popular for documentary and snapshot purposes because they record more of the elements...

Shorter lenses do incorporate more into the image. That doesn't make them more or less representative of human vision.

Yes, I am reminded of the differences between, let's say, Joseph Goldstein, who non-dogmatically insists (hopefully that's not too strong a word, but it was the impression that I got from him) that one must conclude in the reality of rebirth; whereas someone like Gil Fronsdal can't quite be pinned down, but I have seen an essay by him (again, I hope I'm not misinterpreting things) that suggests that the concept of rebirth was invented by later Buddhists, which would support the secular endeavor.

The best description of the doctrinal differences between the Buddhist schools that I've ever heard expressed clearly and with great humor was by Hyon Gak Sunim.

Swift-atomics 1.0.0: source stability
I agree. I also like that such journals can be made. I also would like to have more from the areas of astrophysics, philosophy of mathematics, molecular biology, quantum physics etc. written by actual experts in these fields who, for some reason or another, do have certain opinions, backed up by research, that diverges from the mainstream for various reasons, including but not limited to cultural ones.

I think that the articles about philosophy and ethics are also good to have; as other comments say this is what the existing writers know, and so I hope that writers who do physics, mathematics, etc will also write more.

(I also like that the articles are available as HTML and XML as well as PDF, to allow for reformatting and such things; I dislike many things about PDF. However, then about XML, it necessarily is using the XML both for the data and for the text. I think that XML is OK for text, and not as good for data (such as the data in the <front> block) (there are better formats).)

Some of my own ideas are also controversial, although I should leave it to the real scientists who have similar ideas to write about them, since their ideas will probably be better than my own. (Such a thing is not for sure, but it is likely.)

They mention formatting the document for submissing using Microsoft Word. Well, not everyone uses Microsoft Word, so they shouldn't require that. Also, since it is published as XML anyways, it might be better to use a subset of that, it can easily them be formatted as 12 point font double space or whatever (they do not specify specifically what font (e.g. serif, sans serif), but they could easily enough change the formatting to whatever font is wanted). (Also, writers who will write about mathematics might want to use TeX, anyways (or MathML; it seems they already declared the namespace for MathML, but I have not looked at all of the articles to see if they are used or not).)
Maybe there's a confusion here between programming and software development. One is a tool for the other, but can be used by itself too.

I'm a physicist (not "data scientist" though I work with plenty of data), and I've been programming since 1981. Anything I do, I want to do well, especially if I do it regularly or it could cause problems if done badly. I've made an effort throughout my career to keep up with good programming practices. I do that out of a combination of pride, curiosity, and professional ethics.

But I'm not a software developer, meaning that I don't create software for widespread or long term use by others. We have an entire department for that, and many of their techniques are quite specialized.

Naturally it wouldn't surprise me if further improving my skills also moves me closer to being capable of software development, and I'm happy to learn and apply their techniques at a pace that works for me. I think that a scientist who is capable of learning to program should receive guidance on how to do it better, but perhaps in stages, such as:

1. Writing code that has a better chance of working, even as it gets bigger and more complex.

2. Working with others on projects that involve sharing code, meaning that it has to be readable and conform to agreed upon standards.

3. Creating code that can be confidently "shipped" for widespread or long term use.

What does it mean for something to be controversial? Basically, it means there is strong disagreement about the morally justified level of Type I versus Type II errors--how many false positives are worth one false negative, in the wages of morality?

This is of course complicated by the realization that across society, achieving "more" of one kind of justice often necessarily comes at the expense of another kind. In a stable society, the justice hierarchy is fairly well agreed-upon (at least by the "good, wholesome people" you refer to) but things can really go off the rails when profound disagreements develop.

This is how you get "good, wholesome people" to participate in xenophobic genocide or political extermination. The lesson of the 20th century is that these catastrophically tragic inversions of the justice hierarchy can come from extreme positions on either the right or the left of the ideological spectrum.

I think the space of "controversial" ideas is essentially created by the interplay between those who are hypervigilant about extreme ideas on the right which might lead to tragedy, and those who are hypervigilant about extreme ideas on the left which might lead to tragedy. These two groups will likely be mortal enemies for obvious reasons, but a well-functioning liberal society should be able to view both sides impartially and determine when one of them is on to something.

Accordingly, a dysfunctional society is one which starts swallowing the ideas of one side or the other... and I suppose the aim of this journal is to help slow our descent into an internally fractured society of two equally dysfunctional halves.

I would recommend a less wide angle. If you have the space so you can get a 50mm, you'll get much better bokeh than a 20mm.

The thing with shooting WFO, you'll have tissue paper thin focal plane. Moving forward or leaning back could throw you out of focus.

The law generally allows the state to abuse its people in all kinds of ways. That’s the social contact: that abuse is seldom, and when it occurs the abuser gets punished. If it occurs enough then usually something big socially occurs, like a revolution.
The trick is to put a sidebar window on the right ao the keyboard feels centered.

How often do you type into a full screen window?
To me this is an issue of scale. A small startup can hand pick talented people and pay them the same. Its pretty easy to manage employees and validate performance as you approach ~100 employees.

Now scale that up to 50k employees. The talent pool isnt large enough to have only A players. Secondly in a large org you may not want some of the A players available because they have a crappy attitude. So what do you do? Hire B and C players and hope you can mentor them to a B+ A-. Im still not sure they deserve top tier pay, at least at first. If they demonstrate improvement then compensate them. Personally I think where companies go wrong with comp is that they stop rewarding top performers- especially in the IT/DevOps side. Ive worked at various companies where the sales and or traders that form the business often get large rewards just because they are on the income side of the house. IT and Development can at best increase efficiency and reduce costs but they are always just that, a cost. So short sighted managers eventually hit a wall and say no more comp increases. Eventually that person leaves when they find a better job, and they spend 50-100k recruiting a replacement that they have to pay what the existing employee wanted in the first place.

> Having said that, most people probably set the text magnification on a 4K screen to be the same as a 1080p screen, so any real estate gains tend to be a wash.

If someone's buying a laptop with a 4K display for real estate, he's probably misinformed. You buy a 4K display on a laptop for the pristine ~293 PPI vs a mediocre ~146 PPI on a 1080p display which would look even worse considering it would need fractional scaling while the 4K display would work with integer scaling.
A better strategy to me would've been to keep it free and tightly integrate it with Docker Hub to push people towards Docker Hub services. This software is already installed on most Windows computers that need to use Docker and provides a perfect opportunity to promote Docker Hub and any of their other services.

The company makes the comp decisions via management, not the rank and file employees. They already have information about everyone's compensation.

Sharing compensation information with your coworkers only puts you on a more even footing when negotiating with management. After all you are probably at least somewhat aware of your relative productivity. If you and the company disagree, you find another job where hopefully you are more in sync and everyone is happier.
You could say why... It's logistically and legally much more difficult for Apple to control that.
