Disclaimer: I’m not an animal rights activist. I have some overlapping politics and some disagreements. My intent isn’t to defend any particular action by GP, but to object to this more generally.

> Not sure I feel comfortable with celebrating breaking the law.

I don’t know where you live, forgive me if this comes off condescending.

In the US, celebrating activism with illegal techniques is part of the fabric of our culture, institutional and even foundational. Approximately everyone is taught about:

- the Boston Tea Party, and the Revolutionary War which that and similar actions ultimately precipitated

- the Underground Railroad and other actions to smuggle slaves to their (relative) freedom

- various illegal actions in the Civil Rights movement, from sit ins at segregated businesses to Rosa Parks’ refusal to sit in the back of the bus to Freedom Riders crossing all sorts of state/county lines to help ensure others’ access to polls

There are of course other illegal actions which are less taught/known but nevertheless shaped our society in ways few could disagree with. We have strikers and work saboteurs to thank for the 5-day/40-hour work week. We have the Black Panthers to thank for breakfast and child care programs in schools, as well as the proliferation of community health clinics.

Some of these were not non-violent actions, some of the actions taken in these contexts and others which moved us as a society forward were morally complicated. But at least from my historical perspective, I cannot justify deference to the law as a moral imperative. Sometimes, often even, it’s the law which is morally unacceptable. And the moral imperative is to go beyond it.

"Mens in Black" would like a word about grammar... Although I guess it doesn't matter for an "acquire and expire" target whose name wasn't publicly recognised to start with.
It reminds me of "428: Shibuya Scramble", a FMV-based visual novel that literally involves a bomb that will blow up in a very busy part of the city of Shibuya. At least that's the initial premise.

You have to make choices for different characters, and unless you get everything perfectly right, you die. There is often no way to know at first, but it is possible to go back in time and fix things up once you reach a bad ending.

This game is notable for having a perfect 40/40 score from Famitsu, a rare score usually only attributed to famous titles like some Zelda games. And yet, it is mostly unknown outside of Japan and it only got translated 10 years after it came out, in 2018.
Apologies, I assumed it was mostly common knowledge among people who keep up with tech news. I began seeing stories about it at least a few years ago so I figured many of us had heard at this point.
Might makes right, huh?
This comment can be interpreted in two different ways:

Are you suggesting that the parents should have filed suit to counter wrongdoing by the teachers, and that you're surprised they let it slide? "The teacher hit their child, and I'm surprised the parents aren't suing them."

Or are you surprised that the parents exercised restraint, defying an expectation bred from our overly-litiguous culture? "The teacher told their child to be quiet. I'm surprised the parents aren't suing!"
That's strange. I've had no issues using microk8s. Super easy to set up on Ubuntu 20.04.
>Is there a reasonable solution to these problems?

One idea is community level dictatorships where people can freely create, fork, join, and leave these communities.
Teaching kids a failed philosophy just sets them up for failure as adults. There's an infinite universe of things to teach - why not teach them something useful, something that works?

> Therefore we must not allow the policy to succeed

Oh, but we do allow it to succeed. There are no laws against communes and worker collectives in the US. Any group can form one. And many have - thousands of them.

They all failed on their own.

You and your like-minded colleagues are welcome to give it a try. Nobody is going to try to stop you. You can ask Bernie to supply the funds (he's rich) and be your leader. I only ask that you come back in a year and tell us how it went.
I agree. If you go to

instead, you can set the default sort in the settings.
In that case, what if you swapped out the language for, say, Scheme?

Does that help?
Near real time.
Hum... I'm not sure you got what is being negotiated right.

When people do that it's because both are yielding. They just don't know where to yield.
But in consider of time to mass production and density[1]:

TSMC 5nm: 171 MTr/mm2 in 2021 (for apple A15)

Intel 10nm: 100.76 MTr/mm2 in 2021 (for 12th core-i)

Intel keep saying they will win in the future, while they seems forget TSMC will improve too. Comparing Intel 10nm with TSMC 7nm is outdated.

Or is there any objective metrics to determine which one is better, other than MTr/mm2?

I'm not sure why you're downvoted so much -- I am all in on Nix. I use it professionally. I agree with you 100%. I'm convinced whoever solves the UX issue of Nix will have the next "big thing" on their hands. I hope it's the OSS community and not a repeat of Docker, Inc.
thanks for asking! :) I'm a little old school; the nintendo gamecube (mine's still working) would be my favorite for the tactile quality and games that don't try to make an addiction habit out of your attention. I do have a switch though, and there's plenty of indie offerings along with their main titles. Can't go wrong with Fire Emblem for strategy-and-story, Super Smash for sensless fighting fun, and Zelda for the exploration.
Growing the pie means kids can do work that is paid in legos. They can trade legos amongst themselves. Provide something else they can "buy" with their work, like maybe treats or videogame time. Maybe give out a lego if a kid gets 100% on a quiz.

The free market doesn't provide things for free. All living things work to survive.

Giving out free legos will indeed engender feelings of fairness. But a lego in a free exchange for work does not.
It bothered me when I read about the removal of Legos - I perceived this as group punishment.
I've mostly used NixOS, but eyed Guix from time to time, not really dipped my toes into the Guix-water yet but not completely unwilling either, the syntax and cohesion is really interesting and alluring when compared to NixOS.

Rather then be teachers and teach it was easier to just remove the opportunity to learn. Even doing nothing would have been an improvement.
Teachers are "authority figures" because their knowledge of education is recognized, accepted, and legally certified. Children ages 5-9 are not always capable of self-governance and sometimes need the guidance of an authority figure to resolve conflicts.

The "change they wanted" was for social harmony among students, and it was accomplished using rules that the children created and agreed upon.
Nobody said it was easy. But lots of non-cons become consultants, etc.
> I just want to list what I want and let the tooling make it happen.

That's just what Nix does?

It's very much more declarative than any system I've seen. Yes, k8s turns your declarative manifest into running processes, but how was the image built? There's a huge gap there: you refer to container images by name, not by a description of the software you want them to contain, and then hope that some other process has built the image correctly. Nix can close that gap and take declarative all the way from the service manifest down to the git commit of the compiler used to build your binary.
You have to use AzureAd\john@contoso.con otherwise it interprets as a UPN and fun ensures. Just deployed 30+ Azure AD only devices in a clinic and that took some getting used to when elevating with UAC.

If there is something like heartbleed that needs to update a common dependency, how does NixOS deal with that? Do you need to rebuild everything that uses that dependency, instead of just changing the shared library on a more traditional os?

What a strange article. I think that a company like Nvidia could probably provide a great deal of additional value to the world of scientific computer modeling. And I think that simulations can work really well to assist in training models, I don't really understand why that would be up for debate, they already do. What I don't understand is talking about "simulating the entire world down to atomic interactions" or teleporting to Mars via data collected from..."sensors".

Little sections of this, particularly wrt pushing towards more standardized systems for building computer models make sense and seem like a worthwhile goal, but most of this reads like nonsense to me.
Conversely so many buildings are made out of blockwork, and I don’t know if those concrete blocks are manufactured particularly locally.
Lego is the end product. Not something you use to claim scare resources. So it would be like printing more oil or housing. Once you reach that point you are in a post scarcity society.

In this situation, the issue is that there aren’t enough nice pieces for everyone. At some point there become enough that without being insanely greedy that everyone can have some.
> ...and trying to decide as a group how best to respond...

> Is that supposed to be bad?

Quite possibly. One of the big successes of the law and modern political traditions like liberalism has been demonstrating that the most successful path is when "we" don't respond and provide mechanisms to let individuals sort out their own differences in a 1:1 fashion, personally navigating the power dynamics.

Strong group responses are actually quite destructive and squelch non-conformance. Anyone who might be unusually successful with an unorthodox strategy gets crushed. Ends really badly for minorities too. Groups aren't any fairer, nicer or more empathetic than an individual and in fact (because they tend to lowest common denominators and plausible social deniability for inaction) are often much more violent and cruel.

We don't want the teachers taking an extremely successful and tolerant society focused on individual action in context of a group and then inculcating group reactions in context of an individual. That will reduce tolerance and promote hate. Although to be honest teachers shouldn't be making any decisions about the culture, or children's personality, as it isn't really their role in life.
You phrase this as if it's getting continually worse, but I'm not sure if distros were ever that interoperable (unless you deliberately restrict yourself to a point in time where there was exactly 1 distro). If anything it seems to me that you now have a decent chance to get software to run on any recent distro, which wasn't always the case.

Though that's just my impression, I'd be happy to be proven wrong by someone better informed.
And these get immediately sold on. I often buy contacts from online resellers who have obtained them through your number being in someone else's contacts who allowed an app to upload their whole address book.
It's a Node app, so CPU-bound work will run linearly on a single thread unless work was done to break up work into multiple processes or worker threads.
I don't know about any of that sentience stuff. I'm with the leopard because it's a beautiful, wild cat and that other guy who won is an ugly, bald ape with a bushy beard.

That's enough for me to root for the wild beast in its natural habitat, against my own kind even, and I don't care about your morality of not harming sentient beings. The ugly bald ape with the bushy beard is a sentient being, too, and I wouldn't mind if the leopard ate his stupid face off.
I doubt they were helping the robot out of pity for the robot, but more because they knew that the robot was taking some delivery to a human who was waiting for that delivery. Or maybe just to free a path so the robots weren't stacking up in the sidewalk blocking people.
I've played with numba a bit, and my feeling is that if you're going to accept the disadvantages of just in time compilation, why not just write in Julia (where the experience is a lot more seamless)?

Julia was also faster in my experiments.

As in anything, some middle-ground is where things generally sit.

The no record available once the sentence is completed is fine until someone gets killed or their daughter raped by someone with extensive criminal record of things not related to murder or rape.

The unfortunate reality is, a certain type of people will continue to commit crimes all their life and many of them aren't even premeditated, it's a "it just happened" thing.

Having said that, a "no second chances for anyone" approach would have the same results as the secret records approach you described. IMO most of the crime problems are attached to the culture and their vicious cycles, but that's an ultra-radioactive topic and every discussion easily goes south, so, just another day I guess..

> I don't know about the specifics of Minecraft launcher, but usually these types of unified login schemes are all based on OAuth. The Minecraft launcher never/shouldn't get your actual login, and instead they get a scope-restricted oauth access/refresh token.

Benefits really depend on your threat model. Login process uses same credentials which can access everything. But afterwards, the credentials stored in Minecraft has limited access, if third party has a way to steal them.
There is Guile for that.

The Nix language out-schemes scheme (even smaller), so I don't really see the point.
John McAfee claimed they were doing this to him before he "suicided".
Helping people with criminal records get jobs is good.
Letting then vote is also a good first step.

The focus should be on helping them -before- they end up
with a criminal conviction of some sort on their permanent
record.

Sadly we are engineering society to be less
and less compatible for young men and this will
only get worse over time.

And then these angry young men get older they beget their own angry young men.

Everyone is not compatible with sitting still and shutting up for 4 - 8 hours a day for 12 years + uni. (And far more men than women are incompatible).

That this has become the common requirement in society is a growing issue.

We need a way to productively allow these men to partake in society
at their own terms, or at least a lot closer to it than we are now.
That means creating jobs and frameworks that are compatible.

Crime is natural choice.

It a great outlet for adrenaline and aggression and asserting ones
freedom from the chains of society. It is dangerous, sometimes
lethal. and looking good for the ladies. (or other men)

You even make easy money, (a lot of t, if you happen to be among
the 1% of criminals). It is a highly compatible venture.

Instead of inventing new psychological diagnosis and inventing an
ever bigger stream of pharmaceuticals meant to neuter them and
force compliance we should do the opposite.

Recognise it as a resource for society.
I read over 800 books in jail.

I kept asserting my rights until the cops threatened my wife, then I told them they could write down whatever they wanted and I would sign it. Took 7 years of being in jail before that piece of paper got in front of a judge and he threw it out, though.
My bad. You’re right. Most smaller assembly language programs were loaded at $300. The first page of the text memory buffer was $400.
> If I want to control mass, therefore, tracking and controlling my input and output is more or less guaranteed to work.

It's wonderful that your physiology is aligned with your goal of doing this. But in this control pathway there are billions of neurons, trillions of bacteria, I don't know how many biochemical signals, all feeding back into each other. Reducing all of this to "controlling input" is one of the most harmful ideas in public health. For people who struggle with weight it is just setting them up to fail and blame themselves for it. Repeated over, and over, and over.
"Becoming a person of unlimited potential." that's a very prosaic way of essentially saying nothing.

It all depends on what you want out of the system that you're using, for me personally the programming language, the IDE, the library that I incorporate, are all a means to an end, the goal to bring a unique idea into reality. I value the creation of new ideas more than the implementation itself and thus your suggestion is unsuitable for those of my kind.
Yeah - of the 3 use cases heralded for 5G, enhanced mobile broadband (eMBB) is the one that has materialised so far.

The other two (massive machine to machine communications, and ultra reliable low latency communications) were more intended for buzzword-laden visions of robotic surgery and internet of everything.

Neither has really materialised like in the brochure. As you say, the speeds for consumer services are great - likely you'd get similarly good speeds with properly deployed 4G, since it can deliver 1 Gbit in theory with enough carrier aggregation. The new 5G spectrum helps a bit if you're in an urban area.

Nobody is going to use 5G to carry out surgery - you'll need real backhaul for any serious distance to get to the place the doctor is (otherwise they could do the surgery directly or using existing robotic equipment in the room), and if you are relying on backhaul, why not just lay fibre to the robot and avoid the risks. You really don't want a latency spike or jamming attack when operating on someone!

Many of the benefits claimed from massive machine to machine communications will need standalone 5G to come about - then slicing and other industrial facing features will start to emerge.

In the meantime though, you rightly point out that 5G serves as effective competition for fixed line connectivity, and that is no bad thing to stimulate roll-out and give some market price pressure.
The install experience should be the same. Using apt install lxd should give you snap. I've installed LXD quite a few times with different storage and network setups without any issues, so I do find it strange that it didn't work for you.
> the language itself is surprisingly simple. the difficulty people have with it is that it’s functional, not that it’s nix.

I wrote down "what I wish I knew when learning Nix", and realised what had initially confused me:

Some people are confused by immutability when learning functional programming. e.g. Programs involve changing things, but then immutable stuff doesn't change.

With Nix, packages get built and installed to the store. In other solutions, this is done by running a command like "install package", or by having some file describing the package and running "install this"... but with Nix, packages are so integral to the language that they're built as part of just evaluating the language expressions, and (before flakes) the language didn't really have a "main file format" the same way that programming languages do, or that Terraform does.

With functional programming, pure functions have no side effects. With Nix, an implicit side effect of evaluating code is that packages are built.

There's got to be a method for redemption and being recognized as redeemed. The issue today is that hiring processes are not really fair, they can't be objectively run with subjective measures and random entropy pools. If hiring were fair and redeemed people treated the same as never convicted people then there wouldn't be a need for the EU's current bandaid.

My comment was based off a misunderstanding of what was meant by protocol.
"Open core", seems to mean the low level libs (useful for sure) are FOSS while the full featured apps are proprietary. This is kind of unpleasant since it creates a tension between a natural desire to build featureful apps with the low level stuff, and not wanting to "bite the hand" that supplied grist-core. Similar things happen with other partly-proprietary programs like ansible.

Aren't there already some FOSS alternatives to google sheets? No idea about airtable, don't even know what it is.

As for simple ways to write a form app, ActiveAdmin is one of the few things I like about Rails.

If you’re using a cached version, you haven’t really reproduced anything but the cache itself. Reproducibility means creating the same output given the same input, every time, regardless of some local cache.

That said, the above example isn’t specific to Docker.
So full disclosure, I don't tend to write or read documentation that is external to the in-IDE documentation.

But why is documenting the types helpful? The IDE, and for Java/JVM there's a choice of multiple, will tell you. Why waste precious hours of life rewriting what is already documented in the type system?

Sure I'd document the why of something but the idea types should have any form of documentation external to an IDE that can parse the language just seems... redundant.

Whenever I hop over the fence to dynamic languages sure I have to read documentation and large amounts of it is rubbish that could just be inferred from source but that's why I don't hop over there often.
Someday our current cheap energy will run out, and we'll just have to divide up what we have left. At least, that's what I hear. People have been predicting this for a while, and it hasn't happened yet (at least where I live in the US), but that doesn't mean it won't.
