"Docker for Mac" is actually a full Linux virtual machine. The Docker commands you run on your host mac are sent into the Linux VM, to run the technologies Docker uses ("control groups" and "namespaces" mainly). The Linux VM is hidden as an implementation detail of Docker for Mac, meaning you can't ssh into the VM, you can only interact with it through Docker commands.

On Linux itself, Docker simply uses the same core Linux technologies to create the isolated runtime "containers" using "control groups" and "namespaces." Docker on Linux is basically native speed because it doesn't have to jump through hoops like syncing the VM filesystem with the host Mac's filesystem, which is a major point of slowness and a long standing pain point with Docker for Mac.

From exactly where do you draw the conclusion that "reverse engineering a product through public IPs is legally acceptable up to CFAA boundaries"? What are those "CFAA boundaries"? There is no exception to the CFAA for "reverse engineering"; there is only exceeding your authorization, or not.

There is a lot of authoritative writing about the legality of reverse engineering (long story short: reverse engineering is mostly fine, legally) --- but that writing covers reverse engineering stuff running on your own computer. It categorically does not extend to reverse engineering software running on other people's computers without their permission. You'd easily get into a bunch of trouble assuming otherwise.

A lot of terrifying stuff on this thread! It's good this person already has a lawyer.

Well... CDNs aren't supposed to go down, but if they do suffer an outage, Deno caches dependencies locally.

If that's still not enough, you can also just download the JS file and import from a local path or use the vendoring feature.

> Housing affects mostly everybody.

Housing mostly only affects renters (~40% of the market) and is also not evenly distributed geographically. While rents in Miami might spike 40% in a year, that affects only (0.4 * 900K)/100M of households in the US.

Don't wait for the perfect project. It's not likely to come. Decide what you want to learn, look for a top app in that space and copy it. Don't give up until you have something that resembles it. Focus on the code development. Graphics are easy to fiddle with without moving forward so focus on the code with the idea that you will fix the graphics later. As you move forward, read up on the best practices on the particular area you need to deal with.

So if you don't know how to start. Read up on general software engineering. Then read up on the top development programming tools in that area. Then setup a development environment using the most common tools. As you move forward look for forums you can frequent to get help and give help. Be relentless and develop as if it is a job. Set a deadline on when your product will be done. If you don't set a deadline it will never be delivered. Successful developers deliver on time and with the best code possible. Don't get hanged up on finding the best. Once you have some experience then you can decided on the best. By the way, the "best" is wishful thinking. There's no such thing. They are just tools with advantages and disadvantages.

Deliver a few copied projects done and on time. Once you do that you can start to decide what your life's work will be. Think about a year(at least) of constant development before you get to that point.
Looks fantastic. Thank you!
There is a huge gray area between "absolutely legal in all circumstances" and "absolutely not legal under any circumstances". The fact that somebody has not (so far) been found guilty in court doesn't mean their conduct was definitely legal.

If you're trying to discuss whether something is legal in general, looking at a broad spectrum of case law is generally more instructive than focusing on the outcome of one particular case.
Record-breaking hydrogen electrolyzer claims 95% efficiency
Interesting. But python's package system makes this actively hard to do. From that article:

> For example, let’s say you support click^7. Click 8 comes out, and someone writes a library requiring click^8. Now your library can’t be installed at the same time as that other library, your requirements do not overlap.

What I'm arguing for is that click^7 and click^8 should be seen as different packages that (like any other packages with different names) can be installed side-by-side without issue. It sounds weird, but it makes this problem goes away entirely.

Nodejs and (I think) cargo both support this. I've never run into errors like this in rust or node.

Another advantage of this approach: Integration tests in all previous versions of a package should pass on the current version of that package. I'd love to see test runners which actually enforce this - which should be pretty easy to do in a language like rust where integration tests are clearly separated.

Sometimes (rarely) it makes sense to allow an integration test for react16 v1.0 to fail on react16 v2.0, but that implies a violation of semver compatibility. So it should be the exception. Not the default.
That’s an enlightening counterpoint and I agree. I think, when common human factors are known and understood, we should design against them.

I also would not recommend writing any large-scale modern software in C unless absolutely every piece of the codebase is performance critical, which is highly unlikely, and in which case you can probably use c++ for at least a few more safety features. Is C still a good choice for simple CLIs and small programs that don’t do anything drastic? I’d argue it is.

I was moreso using hyperbole to try and point out that it’s easy to judge our forebears for problems that we didn’t even know were problems yet. Saying “C is a poorly designed language” usually amounts to saying “C is a poorly designed language from today’s perspective” which is a bit disingenuous considering we wouldn’t even know about these problems without C. It’s kind of hard to be omniscient and design against things you didn’t even know are problems yet. Furthermore, for all the flak it gets, I think C got a lot of things right—it’s easy to forget that programming languages copy more from C than they distance themselves from it—really the only major wins are giving programmers less control over memory, easier numeric types, easier string manipulation, and generics, and go proved that even the last enhancement isn’t really necessary.

Sorry for playing the role of C apologist in this thread, but I feel a lot of these broad complaints about C are sort of immature insofar as they seem to eschew all historical context. I guess I’m just trying to point out that I see a lot more genius in C’s design than I see foolishness, but some people would have you think the C designers were complete idiots with the way they disparage the language. There’s a palpable lack of humility in such complaints.
Ha, I wish! Corrected.
How Putin managed to derussify East Ukraine in just 8 years?
My first computer had a TUI launcher. It still does for old times’ sake actually. I found someone else’s screenshot of it running in DOSBox here: http://www.racketboy.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=1125643 Kind of funny: it has a Y2K problem. The year is 118 in the screen shot. (99 is 1999 and 100 is 2000.) It doesn’t have the search you’re asking for. You would manually organize them yourself instead.
This is fantastic! Docker for Mac has years of pain with the filesystem speed. I remember first diving into the issue and finding some months long Docker forum thread saying "this is basically unfixible except for micro improvements to the kernel." I use Docker for Mac a lot more now and my company is standardizing on containerizing local development. It's been really helpful to avoid poisoning engineer's machines with hard-to-build / env corrupting software (hi Ruby). Disk heavy operations are of course noticeably slower in these systems and I'm excited to try out this new feature.
They wanted to know what would happen if people had super fast Internet. All the big players made a show of getting onboard. Experiment success, and they got out... Actually operating as an Internet provider wasn't something they wanted to be part of their core business- they have enough anti-monopoly mumbling associated with their name as it is.

As for the experiment... I guess the answer was not much? More high definition streaming, some few companies attempting the streaming of games. It certainly hasn't been the panacea of innovation, but it is also still early days I suppose.

I'm not a lawyer but in addition to the other crimes this would be a trademark violation. If they're arguing the malware version is Fedora, it would constitute an attempt to "misleadingly to divert Internet users or to tarnish Complainant's FEDORA trademark." Since Fedora is trademarked it doesn't matter if it's marketed as Red Hat Fedora or some other Fedora.
> Why would you even be able to exercise the options in the trading blackout window? Doesn't that count as trading itself?

Exercising options isn't prohibited during a trading blackout, because it's not a market transaction. (Especially if you're only exercising with no sell to cover).

If your options are ISO, and you want to get the best tax treatment, it must be at least two years from grant and one year from exercise. If you joined around a year before the IPO, and you wanted the nice tax treatment, but to sell as soon as possible, then exercising near the IPO makes sense.

If you do sell in the same tax year (which isn't always a calendar year, many companies and some people have adjusted their tax year), then it's a capital loss (and a disqualified disposition), etc. But if the IPO is later in the tax year, the blackout may extend beyond, and you'ld owe AMT in one year, and maybe realize a big loss in the next. If you realized a big gain in the next year, you'd also get a big AMT credit, and things would work out; but the AMT credit isn't refundable, so it could take many years to get that back, more if you also lost your job because the company imploded.
It boils down to the same thing. Support can be specific for a business need or for just general maintenance and bitrot prevention.
Depends on how you define "stateful":

- Are long-lived per-process in-memory read-through caches "stateful"?

- Is per-connected-websocket topic subscription state "stateful"?

In both of these cases, nothing breaks when you hard-kill + restart one of these processes. People who add these things to a web-app backend don't usually think of themselves as making the backend "stateful."

But nevertheless, truly "stateless" technologies like CGI or PHP are defined by how they don't have access to things like this.
"Informant" doesn't have to be a high bar. Even in the West, the law enforcement and intelligence agencies will have huge networks of "casual" informants.

Imagine you're a lonely Chinese student in Australia and you meet a wealthy and successful fellow countryman. After a while he asks how you're doing considering the "anti-Chinese" attitudes in Australia. "What's the situation like on campus?".

If that information makes it back to the Chinese gov't, well, you're now a part of an informant network.

It goes along with the philosophy of removing useful data that they've had for at least the last 10 years. Metrics like average position or search impression share in Adwords got removed, along with consistently broadening keyword match types (plus other quiet, but signficant shifts like moving away from second price auctions). The biggest introductions emphasized automated bidding strategies, view through conversions and hyper-optimistic offline conversion attribution tools. Analytics removed organic keyword data years ago and has shifted some focus towards multichannel attribution, but this is the biggest leap. The goal in PR speak is "understanding the customer journey across all channels" but in reality it is more like trying to capture more dollars from brand advertisers (see: big orgs with layers of burecracy with a big budget and 0 accountability) and mask the inefficiency of their platform for others (think lead gen-- Google tested running their own insurance comparison service, but it was more profitable to charge insurers $xx.xx per click instead. Similar situation with OTAs/home services).

They keep adding layers of opacity to mask ever shrinking ROIs while making it easier for anyone to spend more on ads. Eventually they will get to the point where you set a budget and you get what they are willing to provide based on what their "AI" decides is best to maximize their fill rates, auction participants and their earnings per page view. No keywords or managed placements. It isn't like there is an alternative and their inertia isn't going anywhere.

>Their estimates are calculated with a model that uses Treasury yields, inflation data, inflation swaps, and survey-based measures of inflation expectations.

So the data is partially based on market data (ie. implied inflation rate based on what the yield on TIPS is compared to treasuries). There's another data series for 10 year inflation that only uses market data and it tells a similar story: https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/T10YIE. Since this is all market data, made by people who have skin in the game (ie. if they get it wrong they lose money), it should be less gamed the previous metric.

Agreed. It seems a number of these bills are advancing through state legislatures. It started with the Texas abortion ban putting bounties on people who aid another in getting an abortion. SCOTUS had the opportunity to stop this practice dead in its tracks, but they decided to let it persist as the case waits to be heard by the court. Meanwhile, this gives everyone else latitude to pass their own "bounty" laws on any number of issues.

If you change the statement from: "Blackrock bought 10%+ of the homes in the US in 2020"

To: "Various 'investors' (including personal trusts and other tax / estate shielding entities often used for people buying their primary residence) bought 10%+ of the homes if you restrict the data to 40 large cities" then it's mostly true? But that's a different thing than was claimed..

The Redfin data that WaPo is relying on accounts for 494k homes sold in Q3 2021, of which 90k were bought by their definition of investor. But they're missing another ~1 million homes that were sold in the US during that time period outside of the cities that clearly had the most investor interest...
