> You're going a bit far the other way, I think. People definitely use containers because they're a nice workflow, and yes a lot of containers are shipping all in-house code.

Containers might have provided a convenient way to package, distribute, and deploy software, but that's just a nice-to-have complementing the whole reason anyone adopts containers.

To put things in perspective, while Docker is practically a household name, does snap ring a bell to anyone? Does anyone bother at all with snap?

> But to ignore the popularity of Docker Hub and claim that people aren't also jumping head first into containers because they make it easy to grab random unvetted binaries is a step to far.

This assertion is proven false with the inception of container registry services provided by service providers such as GitLab, GitHub, and all major cloud service providers such as AWS, Google Cloud, and Azure, and even lesser services such as Alibaba cloud and IBM cloud. These services might make container images available to the public, but their main role is to allow people like you and me to push their own container images to be pulled by your container orchestration services. In fact, even if you adopt third-party services you end up either using the official images made available by each project or repackaging the software yourself to reflect your own config and deployment needs.

I think what is sad is such a movie would literally have to use Google and WhatsApp in the movie as opposed to some fictional search engine or fictional social network for people to make the connection these days.

Honestly, 1984 should be enough as it's not a big jump from 1984 telescreens to Google/Facebook.
On average, the discount you can expect is 15% from the Apple store. So expect to see the refurb price for a refurbished 14-inch starting from $1,699 and the 16-inch from $2,125.

I'm a refurb-first shopper/buyer and something I've noticed about Apple's refurbs is that they often maintain their from-new discount as if products released later (sometimes with lower price tags than the returb) don't exist.

Reviewing the store today, it looks like they are doing a somewhat better job of price models for refurbs but maintain a silly discount for things. Example: refurb XS at $550, "save $340." Claiming $340 is fictitious--a new 11 is $500. Maybe XS to 11 is not an apple-orange comparison but the price competitiveness of a new older model phone speaks to refurbs as not always being bargains.

The lack of z-index in SVG is such a drag. I'm working on a (relatively simple) project - think Figma in terms of interactions - and the hackery is inevitable and immediate when trying to deal with this. A hybrid approach of multiple SVG objects in a HTML tree seems to be working so far, but it's far from pretty.
I've landed more than once in such situations where even close people would think that if I don't complain, or don't complain enough, means I don't care or I have everything sorted out. Thing is, I rarely believe that complaining to random people moves my issue forward, so I'd keep my complaining for moments where I feel I can be helped - if only with some moral support from people capable of giving me that.

Any answer that doesn't include the phrase "Southern Strategy" is suspect. Not that that is the ultimate source of the issue; but that, from that era forward, there is an unbroken through-line of tone and tactic.
A technology which requires exceptional people for it to be managed successfully should not be a technology that puts centuries-long commitments on society.

> The issue that Facebook is trying to solve is that kids already use the platform.

I would assume that if Facebook cared the slightest bit, they would be able to identify users that are six years old and simply redirect them to a safe page that is not facebook. Maybe a page that says that if you really are overage, could you please send your id. At least that's what they seem to be doing if they think the user account is not legit for some other reason.
That is definitely not the tact that was taken in the early 2000s when talking to any member of the public

I don’t disagree, I was referring to why this was a bad idea:

“The problem is that any satellite that can maneuver itself very close to another one, and may have small arms or probes to physically interact with its target, is inherently capable of being a weapon.”

If your anti satellite weapon is in orbit you just wasted a lot of energy getting it there.
I'd be fine with either DST or summer/winter hours but the latter is a significatnly harder coordination problem. Not all businesses would change you'd end up having to keep track of which things have shifted and which things have not and all the downstream implications of that. Compare that to the five minutes a year I spend setting the handful of non-internet-connected clocks in my house.

(And of course if you legally mandated that everyone had to shift their hours twice a year at the exact same time then you just invented DST with extra steps.)

Are you making a good faith argument? Because it doesn't seem like it.

The list of things "conclusively prove[n] with 100% certainty" is vanishingly small and not a burden of proof that anyone applies to something unless they are looking for literally any reason to dismiss it out of hand. Other folks have already mentioned the difference between "carbon" in climate science parlance and "CO2" which you appear to have ignored in subsequent comments.

Assuming your question is indeed in good faith (I don't believe it is, but others may have the same question with a little more honesty) - anthropogenic climate change is a scientific theory that is the best answer to the evidence we currently have. No other theories taken seriously by the scientific community come close, and new data fits ACC models with more and more accuracy. So "no, but close enough."
Ether is not a meme.. It pioneered a Turing Complete execution environment on a distributed public blockchain, which massively expanded the utility of the blockchain.
My point is I've run really big builds (i.e. taking about an hour to build non-sanitized) & we still did sanitized builds pre-submit. How big is the disparity you're seeing between sanitized & non-sanitized builds?
Massachusetts has almost universal health care coverage due to it being a priority of the Commonwealth. We have the lowest uninsured population in the USA at ~97% coverage. (Lowest coverage state? Texas, ~82%.)

I used to go to a local medical center in Boston that was apparently mostly serving Medicaid recipients. It had an MRI area that was like an assembly line -- huge waiting room, dozens of people constantly shuffling in and out of MRI rooms to get scans for whatever reason. So, a faster MRI machine means more people can get more scans. Which might be the difference between life and death, especially when you're on Medicaid.

I remember game credit scroll screens, at the end of video games, back in the 8 and 16 bit era. I remember thinking"who were these gods, and how did they do this??"

Now, I know how they did it, but I'm no less in awe of them, because they did these things with development tools that were barely anything. Remarkable generation of developers, laying creative and technical ground work for an entire planet of gamers.

Why would you do it before major elections if it's just about book keeping? You could purge them a month after mid-terms and a month after general Presidential because those get the most turnout.

When you purge your voter roles becomes a lot less important if you allow for registration/reregistration on election day regardless.

Oregon has same day registration update (and we have motor voter) and no long-lines because we vote primarily by mail.

Disenfranchising voters to 'avoid long-lines' is just a red herring.

There are lots of ways to create quick, safe voting. Election problems are the result of a deliberate attempt to make voting harder for certain people. Full stop.

But other times I want the display to be removed when the device is not the active input.

I think most of these laws have been written as wanting to use daylight time year round, which isn't allowed by federal law. Federally states can use standard time or switch between standard and daylight but they cannot always follow daylight time.

Daylight time is the same as standard time of the time zone to the east, so I don't know why these states haven asked the transportation sec to reassign their timezones.

If the Land Registry says you own the property, you can rest assured you own it.

Sounds to me like you can only rest assured at the moment the Land Registry tells you. After that, it’s only a matter of time before some scammer sells your house out from under you. Not a great system.
Just many hours of time micro-optimising quirky projects like [1]. I could write a test specifically to demonstrate it... and write a little article... but just commenting here that in my humdrum experience - you might want to look into it yourself. I have tested and never seen any benefit in eg. initializing an array as [0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,...] compared to Array(n) for (i=0;i<n; i++) A[i]=0 ... Ymmv. Takes moments to check with a benchmarking package of choice. I recommend avoiding testing it with any functional kind of expressions though, because they can be much slower than the old imperative style and obscure the picture.

...also, from a reasoning approach - why would a competitively accelerated language engine create an array full of holes as soon as one is declared? Why would the engine not try to optimally structure the type as it is used? This is something Chromes engines and Firefoxes appear to have done, quite impressively since many years back.

Windows doesn't have bash preinstalled so I'm not sure why you're bringing that up.
On all OSes I've used in the past 3-4 years all of them have been Python3 by default. The specific version is largely irrelevant as I could ask you the same question about which version of bash is running on a given OS (e.g. it's not available on Mac out of the box as the default shell is zsh due to GPLv3).
What does "reading well" mean?

> Why the Zuck are these companies not punished.

Why would they be? The prevailing narrative is that we must enshrine social media platforms into our lives as permanent fixtures, akin to running water and electricity. If the culture were to accept that these platforms are actually unnecessary, unhealthy, and their use should be discouraged (like cigarettes), then our addicted society would have to face a major detoxing crisis that few are prepared to acknowledge.
SEEKING WORK - Remote / UK

Full stack developer (react / nodeJS / AWS).

I have worked on startups, helping reduce costs and improve developers lives through improvements to CI and codebases. My main expertise is realtime as I worked in fintech for almost a decade and have also co-founded deepstreamHub.

Have worked in depth with AWS / Terraform / CI tools and serverless. My main focus is nodeJS backends.

Currently working with clients to help them reach a larger audience, to simplify complex codebases, and to implement better development environments (such as typescript and quicker builds / smaller apps).

Also spend a bit of time on my own personal projects, such as:

- vramework.io
- deepstream.io
- enjamon.com
- typed-postgres

I've seen some colos where power was metered in some fashion (often just a limit, rather than billing), but it seems unlikely to show up directly in cloud providers. If energy prices get really crazy, they can always throttle the cpus to reduce total consumption and may or may not be transparent about it. Replacing older equipment usually gives a good power efficiency boost as well, to the point that a lot of older facilities have power and not space as the limit. Adjusting HVAC strategies can make a big difference in power consumption as well; higher set points and/or outside air sourced cooling when available can save a lot of power, and may not make a large difference in equipment reliability.
Complaining about website layouts and design is against HN guidelines.
My company makes a living by algorithmically finding solutions to complex applied mathematical problems.

Theoretically, the best thing to do is to find an optimal solution to the problem -even if it is a local optimum- as this means that you can stop looking for more.

However, in practice, the user in many cases will not care whether the algorithm will approximate the optimal solution a few more decimal places; what matters is that the solution does not have any major drawbacks, so that it can be safely used for its intended purpose; and that it is better of what one expert could find in the same time by hand. That's the reason why approximate algorithms are used so often.

Under those constraints, you're better off with an anytime algorithm with a good heuristic, which gives a viable good-enough suboptimal solution fast, and which can be left running while the expert analyzes the best solution found so far, to decide if it is acceptable.
That's impossible. 9am means a certain something everywhere on Earth, how are you going to fix that?
