You can run docker on Windows without Docker Desktop. I think the only thing that requires Docker Desktop on windows is if you want windows containers, but I don't really think that's a common usecase.

WSJ is owned by Murdoch and is pretty far right-wing even for the US, but like I said, all of that is considered right-wing or "centrist" to be very charitable (although obviously not conservative except the WSJ) in Europe and to anyone who actually calls themselves a leftists (or a political sciensit.)
>The world is better off today in basically every way than it was 100 years ago, and almost unimaginably better than it was 200 years ago.

... in the kind of metrics people like Hans Rosling of Steven Pinker care about, when taking quantitative state-produced stats at face value, and with naive extrapolation (and ignoring statistical fluctuations, black swans, etc).

E.g. "the condition of the poor is improving rapidly. The places were it is not true, it is due to wars". Global warming is already a big factor and is only expected to be more so in the future.

And that's not even before any real battle for resources such as water, crops, and dwindling minerals start, mass immigration due to climate change brings its own conflicts and challenges, the decline of the US hegemony brings forth new hegemonical and tons of peripheral claims, and lets not even count inflation and other pressures (including boomer-era people coming to retirement age en masse with lots of savings issues in the US, and broken pension systems in Europe). I haven't even mentioned a possible permanent (or long term) covid mutations situation (we're already 2 years in, and measures already had a huge impact on economies).

>Now we live in the EU. I have extremely hard time imagining my Swedish or German colleagues trying to kill me.

Not to make it sound like equivalent times, but jewish people had an extremely hard time imagining their German co-patriots would try to kill them too, plenty of such historical accounts from pre/early WWII, even up to the point they were already dealing with force registration in ethnicity lists, deportations, and so on.
No one cares what was in 1998, that's the whole point of this discussion. Postgres devs kept digging their heads into sand for many years, saying that high availability is somehow not the task of the database. In reality only the datastores need to be HA/durable in an otherwise stateless architecture.
Shameless plug: We just launched Prodfiler last week -- it's continuous in-production profiling based on eBPF, handles C/C++/Go/Rust/JVM/Python/Perl/Ruby (with NodeJS and .net in the pipeline), and it does not require symbols on the machine, nor recompiles with framepointer, nor special JVM flags.

I agree with the larger point being made, but equally I’m getting a bit tired of statements like these:

> “ If it takes an hour to figure out what's going on, well, that's an hour that wasn't spent doing something else more useful and interesting.”

What exactly is “doing something else more useful”?

As a software engineer your main job (yes I know talking to stakeholders and blah) is to write and to read code. If as a software developer you optimise for writing as little code as possible and not having to spend much time reading code either then what exactly are you working on? It’s great if you’re a solo entrepreneur who wants to optimise their own time, but for most devs reading code for an hour is some of the best use of their time in their daily job.
You are completely wrong about ? in my opinion. Between it, built-in load carrying tagged enums (also known as sum types) and the built-in Result and Option types, they essentially solve the exception problem while still being entirely explicit. It's probably my favourite feature of Rust.
I love the absurdity that this very article is locked behind a paywall.
I wouldn’t judge all their articles by this one. Bear in mind this is not their core area of expertise, they are going to over simplify and make some mistakes. Generally, I find their core stuff in economics and politics to be insightful and thought provoking even if in my subject domain (medicine) they make some mistakes.
Of course I can imagine an identical failure happening at a different airport with different ground conditions. Just like I can imagine that there would be even more conservative safety margins to go along with possibility of worst ground conditions.

Do you think there’s a single flight plan used for every plane and airport? Of course there isn’t, a new flight plan is created for every single flight, with margin built into to handle the expected conditions in flight and at landing. So if you’re landing at an airport that gets snow, you increase your required runway allowance to ensure that a lose of all three flight computers doesn’t become dangerous.

You can get 300mcg pills but they never seem to be the sublingual, dissolving type. The lowest I've found dissolving tablets is 1mg. I take a half or a quarter and dissolve it under my tongue. That works fine when it works. Sometimes it puts me to sleep and I sleep longer than my usual 5-6 hours while waking up with a hangover. Sometimes it just makes me sleepy for 15 minutes and then I'm wide awake. Melatonin is very hit or miss for me. I smoked a lot of pot though, and from what I hear that triggers a massive melatonin release, so maybe my homeostasis is a bit messed up.

Sleep is tough. There are so many confounding factors and issues which can affect it... it's hard to find a single thing that works or that works consistently without side effects.
What does this have to do with anything? Most of the West (let alone most of the rest of the world) is far better off than it was even just 50 years ago by almost every single metric you can conceive.

It's hard to believe it's due to financial games exclusively: people are better off in real terms.

Inequality is a problem because when members of your community are living in very different conditions, the cohesion of said community is undermined, but worrying about inequality is the archetypical first world problem: a problem nonetheless, but a problem that presumes you've come a long way.
In terms of civilisational collapse 9/11 is meaningless, and all of the damage done by response was a series of unforced errors on the US's part. They didn't have to tear off a nose to spite their face.

Looks like an excellent treatment to move in the direction of making the most of the common automotive alternator.

There's a lot of idle surplus units everywhere, plus almost all of them in use only generate electricity when fuel is being burnt. So there's plenty of upside by repurposement for widespread capture of new clean energy.

However it seems like the use of a field coil instead of permanent magnets is a compromise in efficiency that was made to save cost per unit, especially considering that the potential energy generated in excess of nominal is always going to be unused in automotive application.

I would like to see them take a look at the much more uncommon commodity units having permanent magnets and go through the equations on that. Like from farm equipment or even actual portable or stationary generators where the IC engines are worn out or too costly to run but the electrical parts can be repurposed.

Could probably come up with some fairly simplified rules of thumb about mechanical interfacing for wind capture, plus electrical interface for delivery, and I would expect both to be quite a bit different than the field coil units.
Somewhat similar to how dogs can recognise sound, our dog has a metal water bowl and she's learnt that picking it up with her mouth and throwing it to the floor creates a distinctive clanging sound. So now, whenever she wants water (even if it happens to be 3am), she'll throw her bowl across the room

Wow neat how do you browse the web, Lynx?
And that he described "Normally I'd SSH into a machine", but you shouldn't even be able to do something like that if you've got infrastructure-as-code; the machines are ephemeral, they probably don't have any of the tools that you need to do an analysis, they shouldn't even have SSH or open ports unless there's some tool interacting with it, but in practice, they should be disposable on a whim if there is an update of sorts.

Had a colleague who asked for SSH access to production machines to debug an issue. Ops team asked what he wanted to do, guy just wanted to look at which env vars were set. Ops team told him how to do his job - log the configuration - instead of give him access, because they had a mandate to ensure five or seven nines uptime. Can't risk it.

I had a lot more respect for the ops people there than I had for my fellow SWE's.
Hi! I have just seen the commit on README.md, thank you for clarifying that :)

The image runs postgres directly indeed, but in the entrypoint, and then keeps it open using tail -f /dev/null. That, together with Ansible, makes it pretty peculiar image :)
> It does need to be in the standard library

When I say that something “has to be in the standard library”, I mean that it can’t be implemented outside the standard library. That’s certainly not the case here. You’re using an outright bad definition of “need” here—subjective opinion rather than objective requirement.

> because everyone needs it

This is factually wildly wrong. I wrote a fair bit more here but decided it wasn’t helpful. Précis: web stuff tends to load it indirectly (though amusingly most of the time actually not use it, so that Base64 code won’t actually end up in your binary), but it’s not terribly common outside of internet stuff to reach for Base64.

I’ll leave just one more remark about Base64: once things are in the standard library, breaking changes can no longer be made; the base64 crate is still experiencing breaking changes (<https://github.com/marshallpierce/rust-base64/blob/master/RE...>, 0.12 and 0.13 were last year and 0.20 is not released), largely for performance reasons.

Please don’t just call the thin-std approach “problematic” without acknowledging that the alternative is at least as problematic, just with a different set of caveats.

Million dollar question would be if all the “feature requests” that AWS support opens when they don’t know what else to do actually go someplace or if they just get swept aside every few days. I’ve always been under the impression they receive very little or no attention. Even bugs where I have included a reproducible test case that results in an internal error, they just keep trying to close the ticket every few days until you go on vacation or e-mail burps and you miss the notice.
I'm doing a project perhaps relevant to this. Talk of declarative schemas (or what you imply they offer) is very interesting and I'd like to know more but I can't find anything relevant (just magento and sqlalchemy). Indeed, searching for <<<"Declarative schemas" "sql">>> in google gets this very thread on the first results page.

Any links to clear, actionable and reasonably comprehensive examples of these would be most helpful. Obviously abstract statements of the required semantics are also needed, but I also need to see what actual code would look like.

Hey developers,

My name is Pavlos and I would like to share with you my new open source project that I just released, feel free to check it out and use it. If you have any suggestion or question please contact with me.

Following are the urls of the project:

I have a few rules I follow in regards to buying non-essentials.

* Never pre order anything

* Never buy limited editions or limitied runs

* If I find a strong urge to buy something, I really try to imagine how I would use it (if at all) or if I have other things that fill this use case already

* If I can see myself using it, or having a need for it, but not an immediate one, I write it on a list.

* Look over the list every so often, and then perhaps buy the thing after a few months have passed since I wrote it down.

Most of the time I just end up removing the items of the list.
Sure, but financial literacy programs targeting the poor are always scams (offered as a hurdle on the road to obtaining basic benefits). Investment opportunities targeting the poor are also always scams (like huckster workshops about flipping houses for profit or blowing money on risky investments). Financial services targeting the poor are usually scams (e.g., the recently deregulated payday loan "industry").

I am reminded of working with poor clients when some consumer bank in the US started offering a "financial health" program, wherein they would round up every card purchase to the next dollar, deposit that fraction of a dollar into a savings account, and then match it for you up to $100 a month.

All the other counselors at our org were super excited to tell our clients about this: "It's free money from your bank! You just got to start making a lot more transactions on your card to earn out the full $100!"
Usually in my experience whenever someone has a problem with zfs it’s solvable in one way or another and the devs are very responsive on irc and GitHub.

On the other hand a lot of problems caused by btrfs is unrecoverable and a mess. Ext4 is stable but lacks the feature set that makes customers go to zfs instead (and that is fine, software should do one thing well and right).
it's a workaround for a lacking type system

For a homelab use-case, I backed out of creating a ZFS mirrored storage pool for network storage. It wasn't that the steps were too complicated or that ZFS let me down as such.

Just that RAID in general and ZFS put my files in a blackbox, and that I didn't really need a significant boost in network reads. I settled for plain old ext4 and periodic rsync mirror files to another disk (I don't mind some interim data loss + writes are fast). Use SFTP or sshfs for accessing the drive.
There is some really interesting psychological literature which assumes that the foundational wiring of personality is laid in the womb, see Stanislav Grofs writings.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stanislav_Grof

This has four potential archetypes:
1 The Amniotic Universe;
2 Cosmic Engulfment and No Exit;
3 The Death-Rebirth Struggle;
4 The Death-Rebirth Experience

Number 3 can be characterized as the valiant heroic struggle against huge odds which leads to a peaceful new age. (i.e. vaginal birth, which is extremely challenging for the child as well as mother).

Since most of us were at one time in a womb and then left it, this idea that our current state might end is indeed, as you said, hard-wired into the human brain.

I can't say that the reason has been discovered, but Grof's theories cannot be immediately discarded.
Not a bad idea though from the point of view of the customer, I would clean my house more often if you pay me and also do the hard work :)

Another catchy term is "analysis paralysis". I think every SWE goes through a perfectionist phase, before the disillusionment hits that it doesn't actually matter, the code is ephemeral, the application may become obsolete within 5-10 years or just written off because of politics, etc.

Or become an unmaintainable mess because one person (not targeting anyone in particular) wrote the application to the best of their abilities. Never write the smartest code you can.
8 months old article, should be tagged as (2020) at least, I'd like to know how they collected and analyzed data for 2021 in those first 3 weeks of 2021...

I've worked with back end webservices for 10 years or so but I'm struggling to understand the concept of allowing a singular account to be monitored. What does this actually mean? An account in all of the systems I've dealt with is basically the collective understanding of a bunch of database queries. How does one allow an account to be monitored in any way which is less frightening than providing an IP address from a log?

The link to the developer homepage in the iOS app store points to msol.io (which appears to be broken/recently registered).

The app is lacking a privacy policy.
Is the principle strictly "murdered journalists"? What about "Guantanamo"? Or "bombing schools and hospitals"? If you find a "but" in there you can already tell what "less principled" means.

Sure, Google doesn't intervene directly in any of this but they would certainly cooperate if asked. And they keep working with that government. What's the common principle besides profit and allegiance?
Not really. It'd be more accurate to say it's a workaround for an existing proper hygienic macro system built on static introspection and code generation.

https://ground.news tries to solve this problem in an interesting way. It has a bunch of articles, where it shows how many left- and right-wing sources it was compiled from.
There is this one perfect illustration that I ended up using as a troubleshooting interview question in multiple places (sorry, it should now be considered burned).

Devs build a reporting framework. They test it. All is well.

Devs deploy reporting framework to production. All reports suddenly time out.

Devs complain to the network team that the network is broken.

Network team spend weeks checking every single interface and link, in all involved network paths (8with multiple daily "we are not seeing any network issues, is the application still having problems?", so definitely not done in complete silence).

Network team eventually pulls out the packet sniffers. Network team then asks if they can see the relevant code snippet.

Root cause is that in the test environment, the RTT between app server and (test) DB was on the order of 0.1 ms. But, in production, the RTT between the app server and the DB server was ~20 ms. And the code generating the report did NOT pipeline any of the data gathering, effectively making the report generation taking ~200 times longer.

Unfortunately, the network team was unable to deploy a higher light speed limit for that network data path and instead suggested that the application fetch multiple data items in parallel.
joke site?
> in the kind of metrics people like Hans Rosling of Steven Pinker care about

I'm curious by what kind of metrics the world was better 100 years ago. You're arguing against a strawman: there are challenges ahead != we were better off before.
Still there are better and worse ways to identify and present failure. A modal often being worse for instance.
Hi! I'm one of the contributors to the repo. Just to clarify, our Docker image [0] only contains the latest version of Postgres (13) and the common extensions listed out here [1]. All the other features such as this [2] and this [3] are only available in the AWS EC2 or DO droplet images. We've since updated our README to make that clearer :-)

You can still connect the DB with a PgBouncer image spun up in another container however. Unfortunately, I can't really recommend you which one since there doesn't seem to be an official Docker image for PgBouncer and I myself have never tried any of the existing ones out there. If you're looking to use PostgREST however, they do have an official Docker image that you can use over here [4].
