I really like Podman, and I'm happy to see this new release. This little nugget about non-released features makes me most excited though:

> More features, including support for volume mounts from the host, are planned for Podman v4.1, so stay tuned for more updates.

IIUC host volume mounts for podman-machine are the last major missing feature in Podman that would allow something like Podman Desktop Companion [1] to replace Docker Desktop on Windows/Mac for most use cases - if it works well. It'd be great to replace that nagging-for-updates and nagging-for-subscriptions with a completely open source replacement tool. (I'm sympathetic to the Docker team in need of a revenue source, but I'm really happy OCI containers on Mac and Windows can be made accessible without vendor lock-in).

I'll have to try that. Today I get a lot of positive motivation from reminding myself I have limited time and to get on with achieving what I want to achieve, but life's to short to get stuck in cycles (I'm aware of the irony).
Yeah, I do agree about the pods. IMO pods are a better primitive than a single container, so its cool Podman supports them.
History never ended with MAD, it just continues on in sneakier ways.

It really is poorly documented. If you don't know it exists, it's difficult to find the document you've linked. I do know it exists and I still have a hard time finding it; it's barely mentioned (or not mentioned) in the regular Docker documentation, which is where most people will be looking.

Buildkit is not exclusive to docker buildx though. You can use this with regular docker build as long as you've set the DOCKER_BUILDKIT environment variable, as noted in the document. You can also forward this to docker-compose, though there's another COMPOSE_DOCKER_CLI_BUILD variable you must set for that.

That said, it looks like this extra frontend syntax is Docker-only, which means you shouldn't use it unless you're committed to the Docker tooling and ecosystem.
Your use of scare-quotes makes it impossible to get anything of actual value from your post.

Hey that's an amazing point. Thank you for mentioning it.

I definitely value freedom of thought above ritual. That's an aspect of the decision I had set aside as a conceit in order to allow myself to entertain it at all. I too was raised (loosely) Catholic, and a lot of my initial pain around morality and life stemmed from my literal interpretation of those teachings.

I hope that some sort of ongoing comparative discussion of religion and the purpose it can serve would help a child make their own best conclusions. The way I've been thinking of it at the moment is, the tension at the heart of this, is "Would 'depriving' someone of those rituals be more harmful than helpful?" I'm leaning toward it being negligible, but exposing them to ritual might bring an individual closer to a healthy path of spirituality on their own terms. I would definitely keep the aspect of autonomy front and center if I did introduce my child to religion. "They talked about Jesus today. Do you want to sit with me and find out what other people think of him?"
Are they answering any important questions or just collecting data for data sake hoping something will be useful. Seems like this bridge was long identified as being at risk but simply never addressed. We don’t need novel techniques to make that assessment. At best they might be able to show a bridge is more at risk of failure but then what? The federal government only funds collapsed bridges so you need to collapse it or the local government will have to find it out of a non existent funding source.
The article leads with drawing a distinction between pop news and more traditional journalism:

"To be clear, I’m mostly talking about following TV and internet newscasts here. This post isn’t an indictment of journalism as a whole."

Good print journalism does go into depth, it does give useful background, and it does teach you about the proximate causes of events. It is not full of pundits trying to score internet points or stoke outrage/fear for views/clicks.

I think there's still value in having an informed population. If you don't have a good understanding of the state of the world it's going to be very difficult to change it in a deliberative and positive way. If you're informed you can make rational decisions on things like giving and voting. I don't know how you can do that otherwise.

I'm not convinced there's a better way of getting an understanding of what's going on in the world than reading a well-curated digest of what's going on in the world. You can certainly go deeper on a subset of the topics via specialized outlets, or long-form books and articles, but good journalism should give you more than the superficial understanding of the issue.

That said, I don't dispute that well-crafted journalism can be stimulating intellectual entertainment. If I didn't enjoy it, I probably wouldn't read it.
Of course, battle.net 1.0 wasn't continuous with battle.net 2.0 which launched with starcraft and eventually subsumed wow and d3 accounts. If you had some account on battle.net for brood war, it died with the move to remastered.
How does any of that support or deny my assertion that these per publisher launchers that you're forced to use regardless of where you bought the game only exist because large publishers hedging against their competitors?
On top of everything you mentioned, TreasuryDirect also has an insanely aggravating issue where if you click a navigation button twice (e.g clicking next again reflexively before the next page has fully loaded), it displays an error about invalid navigation and forces you to login again and start from the beginning.

Even something as simple as disabling navigation links/buttons after being clicked before the next page load would mostly solve this and save hours of frustration having to re-login through their god awful signin flow every time.

Docker the CLI tool is made of a bunch of opensource components that Docker the company put under an opensource organization called moby: https://mobyproject.org/projects/

Poke around the different moby components like runc, containerd, buildkit, etc. and you'll start to see how they all form part of docker the CLI tool. For example runc runs a container image, and containerd is a service that can run and manage multiple containers at once (each using runc to run). Buildkit is a tool for building container images. All of these tools assume you're on a linux host, but there are tools like linuxkit, hyperkit to make linux VMs for mac and windows hosts that can then run all the other tools.

Tools like podman, rancher desktop, docker, etc. all more or less use those components and compose them in different ways or with different tweaks to support their view of a container workflow.
My strong rule regarding news is that I will not get any news from a narrated source. if I want the news I'll read it & preferably pay for it like NYT etc. my reasoning is that evolutionary we are not well designed to reject reality, and anything that is absorbed via audio-visual senses is considered reality (at least initially) by our monkey brains. if we believe a lie we just end up creating a smaller 'universe' in our heads where that lie is true and do a sort of 'chroot' to it. this makes rejecting outright-lies/spin/BS very taxing. I have noticed that I can be much more critical of info presented if I am reading it because I have control on the process & that provides necessary space to insert my reasoning and context into it.

TLDR: Dont watch news, read it.
You would use noexcept only around any code modifying an invariant you need to protect.
> Stopping Russia from copying 1930ies Germany and/or recreating USSR.

Russia is a poor country without science, technologies and a fossil fuel economy. Everything left from USSR is already fucked up or a one step from being fucked up. There are no means of production to even think about repeating smth like that. The market fall and the money which will be spent on that new "republic" is already enough to send everything to hell, not even talking about the global market fall. The only place you can get an image of it as an almighty Empire is in tv.

> The last 20 years Russia has been salami slicing Eastern Europe, taking one slice at the time.

The fact that Russia is less poor than other exUSSR republics and could easily conquer them doesn't mean that it has resources for a direct conflict with NATO, but Putin can frown intimidatingly in TV, that's for sure. 150k of military troops my ass.

> BTW: I think it would be a lot more consistent and believable if you didn't - in a short timespan - both try to criticise me for 1.) not wanting to give enough subsidized fuels to Europe 2.) wanting to subsidize fuels for Europe.

what
> what NATO is even supposed to be doing in the 21st century 30 years after its raison d'être evaporated

NATO raison d’être was providing a shared framework for European security and preventing another general war in Europe, largely by tying West Germany into a durable common framework with other European powers.

It would be rendered redundant if replaced with a common EU security framework, but not by the collapse of Soviet bloc.
I see the minimalism, and the lack of decoration, but not the showcasing of structural elements. I guess, for a website, this would have to be something like actually exposing some of the markup or other infrastructure. Otherwise it’s just minimalist, without the brutalist element. See what I’m getting at?
And maybe that's OK in many cases?

Sure, banks must enforce good security, but a lot of other things should not care.

Like online stores for example. As long as I am paying paypal, the only info my account has is email, address and recent orders. One can google my address in about 20 minites anyway, and this means I really don't care about account security. If there was an option to login without password using email alone, I'd probably pick it.
You got lucky. Digital Ocean has very lax anti-spam policies, so chunks of their IP space routinely end up on various block/blacklists. Saying as someone's forced to deal with all the spam spilling from DO on daily basis.
> it still seems like "best practices" on C++ are churning around 1.5-2 years, it's been happening for my entire career, and it's still happening

I have to disagree with this quite strongly. What "best practices" churn are you seeing? Your reference example of "don't use new & delete" (which I agree with) was a single best practice change that happened ~10 years ago. Similarly https://isocpp.github.io/CppCoreGuidelines/CppCoreGuidelines is like 5-7 years old now, and afaik hasn't had any significant revisions?

The "churn" was really pre-C++11 to post-C++11. It was more like a python 3 moment than churn, other than it's taking a long, long time for code bases to catch up.

They released an MOU at the start of this that explicitly called for the resignation of the current government if they were not willing to immediately lift the Covid19 mandates. In the case of a refusal to lift the mandates, it demanded that a new government be formed of representatives from the Senate and, incredibly, representatives from the convoy.

I think there has been a major change there in the last x years?

They seem to do the same story over and over now. And the lens has shifted pretty far left.

I've laughed at a few things when it's just ridiculous. Sadly I did stop listening.

Anyone have any listening data from media markets like NY or Boston or SF (ie, leftwing) to see if this new format / approach is resonating with folks? I've been actually wondering what the 5 year story would look like now just given how into NPR I was and now how I don't listen.

I'm left but I like a touch of perspective or at least to be able to hear the other side of an issue.
What would be the business model for the CDNs? If they're paid by the publisher, you're back to the game vanishing when it's no longer profitable for them to provide it. If they're paid by the user, this feels a worse user experience than the centralised status quo of steam.
It's pretty rare that I'll downvote someone and also respond to them.

I agree with your general thrust, in general but I think you gave up too soon and have too harsh of a take or at least got too unlucky about the sources that you take in.

There are good news sources out there. Go listen to 3 or 4 of The Economist's podacasts or to Left Right and Center. There are real journalists out there. The landscape is worse, yes. But it isn't worse everywhere and where it is better it is truly better.

Warmth is the second (and fifth) of the six steps of "basic" AT: heaviness of limbs, warmth all over thee body, heart beating strong and regularly, breathing (many formulas), warm solar plexus (or irradiating heat), cool forehead, with the optional warm head and shoulders before the cool forehead.

I've been trying for a few years to get friends engage with TA, given the extraordinary benefits I've gained from regular practice (I've thought about writing a simple guide to TA, something that is missing in English), but “meditation practice" in the broad sense seems to capture people's imaginations better. Oddly enough, I might add, since TA is easy to understand and "scientific," while meditation is rooted in an anachronistic spirituality, with sources, even modern ones, that are largely incomprehensible*, and gurus/guides that are terribly unappealing and look like they are living outside this world.

*Right Concentration was recommended for understanding jhanas, but I found it a very challenging reading. I mean, we teach general relativity to ambitious high school students, I am sure we can do better with meditation/jhanas etc.
A better analogy would be: you park your car illegally, and the city then goes into your home and takes all your possessions without due process.
Yes, we support the rich set of PostgreSQL's JOIN operations, including against hypertables. It's generally smart enough to only apply these JOINs against the right subset of time-series data if you also have any time predicates (due to the way we perform "constraint exclusion" against our hypertable chunks).

There are other common queries related to what you describe, like a "last point query": Tell me the last record for each distinct object. Here, for example, we've built special query optimizations to significantly accelerate such queries:

True! That was my initial thought too. I'm trying to find a possible adaptive benefit to flashbacks in near death (not actual death, but how would the body know the difference, really), but there may be none. Hard to say. I've certainly heard stories of people "cleaning up" and improving their lives in some way post-flashback, but who's to say the flashback was part of the cause.

On top of that, you never know the context in which your users will call your library.

Are you encoding a single file on a local machine? Or 1000 files on some HPC 128-core machine?

Do we really want to be in a world where all libraries need to be written with and without exceptions since we can't know the context they'll be used in?
It's super hard. I am so empathetic to what you're telling me. From the bits I've learned of you through this convo, you seem self-aware and intelligent. With those tools, I am confident you will always have equanimity near.
The company commissioned to build it were FM Conway. That should have been a bright red flag. FM Conway do roadworks. They fix infrastructure, and rebuild streets. They're a civil engineering firm at best, not structural engineers, nor gardeners; in other words, a deeply inappropriate choice for the company to make it happen. But I would bet good money that WCC have a great relationship with them for other contracts, and I would bet good money that whoever handed out the contract got some great tea money for their site visits.

Marc Andreessen who according to wikipedia has had a single employee job in his entire adult life, after which he went on to found a string of companies and then became a VC? Why would I want to take their advice on skills that make me more valuable to an enterprise?

I'd 100% take advice from him on founding companies and on investing btw, but advice on how to build your career as an employee seems wildly irrelevant coming from him.
Thanks for making Timescale, my company ThoughtMetric is an early adopter and we currently ingest about 1M rows of data per day using it.

Dreams are deeply weird and interesting. I was really disappointed when I took psychology that the dogma was they’re just synaptic static that maybe has something to do with long term memory formation.

I’ve had deeply odd dreams, where I’ve been told things I have no way of knowing. I’ve also had dreams where I’m near certain I was communicating with a being that was not merely a figment of my imagination. I’ve had many lucid dreams. Once I had a dream that was so lucid it felt more real than being awake. Either there is something unknown going on or I have perfect recall and am factorially more creative when asleep than awake.

I’m well aware of the standard explanation for these phenomena and its sometimes only barely plausible.
You can probably configure your postfix system to relay outgoing mail for select addresses via your gmail account, to not have to deal with reconfiguring your MUAs if you ever start delivering via your mail server, and not even use a subdomain.

Send via gmail, get delivery to your server.
The problem that you outlined is a different one than whether or not exceptions are checked. The further an exception is thrown (call chain depth), the more context that gets lost. This can be fixed with more specialized exception types.

My example of declaring an NPE as checked isn't something I would actually encourage. It conveys very little context, and exceptions which extend RE should signal a bug in the code. I should have selected a better example.

Adding features from literally every other language, just to create a mess - isn't really a selling point.

Right now, to learn C++ in a generic way, you need to learn pretty much all of programming paradigms and all of their variations - which is not a thing I would consider a plus.
C# has all of that, and more syntaxes. And I don't think anyone's ever taken the position that Java is as complex as C++
Ok, I'll bite. Disclaimer: I'm not a software engineer, FPGA engineer by training. The use model I have in my mind is that my functions all work 99.999% of the time, but occasionally something happens where basically I want to throw up, I want the whole thing to collapse. Exceptions are great for me. I'm in an industry where "stop" is an okay solution in the rare occasion something goes wrong. So what's the alternative? I have to overload my return values annd then put in a load of special cases to propogate or return the exceptional cases.

I am aware there are functional languages that have other ways of dealing with this, or languages with things like optional values etc. But fundamentaly I like the idea that there's just a mechanism to just collapse, and collapse in a way that is traceable.

Having said that, my experience essentially does not involve catching exceptions, to me that's what is almost unthinkable (read: probably a bad hack). I guess my use case is not performance but separateing normal code function from catastrophic errors. Could you explain, do you think this is a fundamental mistake in the way I'm approaching this?
Ok well that wasn't quite enough for me to believe you 100%, but it was enough for me to believe you 98% and that's enough for me to sign up for the top teir. If you're lieing to me or if someone is lieing to you, then even though I'll be dissapointed I'll forgive them or you.
