I'm thinking it would be something like: I want to be the baddy in Die Hard and want the protagonist to be Peter Griffin (cartoon version). The system feeds you the movie ...

Was first for me too. I was amazed and immediately hooked. Managed to cobble together my first 386 machine trading code and CAD / CNC programming work for parts.

Had 5 Mb of RAM. Just enough to run a browser and Winsock. Bo sound card.

I had an amazing experience on that machine playing W3D:

Got whomped on a level, and I forget which one, but the gist of it was having a couple health points, no ammo and ended up in a long, narrow hall, at the dead end.

I turned the other way, knife ready, determined to finish the level and proceeded to knife a nice string of baddies with god line speed and precision! It was three or four and I just had to knife them all, right at the end of the hall, poking each of them often enough to keep their shots at bay!

Truth is my 386 was a bit pokey, and that gave me just the little edge I needed to take them down and score that ammo! From there, and a couple more quick pop out and shoot kills later, med pack! Home free, gonna make it...

This was in the middle of the week, me up super late, tired at work the next day, no regrets.

I love how raw, simple, maybe pure is the right word, the game is. Twitchy as hell. Distilled down to the elements needed for fun.

I imagine the motivation behind this paper was, it is embarrassing to the rest of the world that Sweden got it right about lockdowns and masks, so we mush punish them. Let's write a paper claiming they did something else unrelated wrong.

Distrobox (or Toolbox) is a nice tool[0], but honestly the reliance on Podman doesn't make a lot of sense to me. The necessary container functionality is available directly from the kernel[1] with little of the complication that Podman brings along, and from what I can tell[1] it is pretty straight-forward to pull docker and OCI images with simple HTTP interaction (or wget/curl) and extract with tar. This could be a stand-alone statically compiled executable with no dependencies that could work on any Linux distribution with no hassle at all, but isn't for some reason[2].

[0] I was exposed to it via Fedora Silverblue, where something like it is a necessity since the base OS is immutable. I've found it very useful even outside that use case however.

I'm arguing that the subjective part of art is far less powerful than the objective, almost to the point it recedes from view. You disagree? Strictly speaking, all 'art' is subjective. Or, even stricter speaking, anything at all for which subjective outweighs objective becomes more or less 'subjective', ergo, all art is subjective.

Perhaps you might argue, receded from view but still significant, is that fair?
Additional reading on this topic if you fancy it. This is the first one I read regarding docker for GUI apps

https://blog.jessfraz.com/post/docker-containers-on-the-desk...
> Electron has a main process and renderer process and they communicate via events. I found myself swimming in the event soup very often.

Ironically, this might also be what you need to write a fast non web based client to your app. By keeping the UI renderer is in a separate process, it could be written in any language or technology at all and the "main" app would be none the wiser.

I found your comment grepping for someone sharing how to do it in Wayland, so here it is for the next person:

docker run -e XDG_RUNTIME_DIR=/tmp \
-e WAYLAND_DISPLAY=$WAYLAND_DISPLAY \
-v $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR/$WAYLAND_DISPLAY:/tmp/$WAYLAND_DISPLAY \
--user=$(id -u):$(id -g) \
imagename waylandapplication

Pretty simple and reasonable really, just needs to use the same Wayland socket and (in order to access it) user ID. From:
https://unix.stackexchange.com/a/359244

I suppose if you were adventurous you could give it whatever other known user ID, and start a separate Wayland compositor for it. But I don't know why you would, when surely the point is to get containerised GUIs visible to you alongside others. Containerised multi-seat I suppose?
What range of memory usage are you going for? You could maybe look into using Electron solely for the GUI and using C/Rust/Go for the backend. Haven't done anything like that myself but from what I've read it's a decent compromise.
Clothing is mostly plastic fibre nowadays. Upholstery fibres too. Walls are painted with acrylic paint. Flooring is often made of various plastics. I assume the dust in our homes that we breathe in contains relatively a lot of plastic. Containers for food are almost entirely plastic.

That is itself the catastrophe.

The enlightenment was supposed to chase away the shadows. But as the
radius of the light of science and technology expands so does the
circumference of the darkness beyond.

We know more than ever how vulnerable we are. We know of many more
horrible ways to die. We see ever more beautiful possible futures that
may never be reached. It is the age old cost of knowledge since Eden. [1]

But take hope, the alternative is ignorance and total darkness. And
there are worse things than monsters in the shadows. A greater concern
is our own death-drive toward Thanatos - in that we _know_ what we are
doing, throw caution to the wind, mock as naysayers and Cassandras

Some really good reminders and pointers in here, especially making sure the new hire is given time - both in terms of allowing them time to get through things but also making sure that their manager and others have time available and set aside to help the newbie.

So so critical.

One other thing I would say though is to have them feel they can and do make a meaningful contribution right at the start by assigning a little task that will encourage and aid their learning where things are and how things are done

That's a bold claim. Do you have any references to support it? The examples in Docker's documentation use apt-get directly and I don't see any recommendation to use a base image as you describe.[1][2]

With Debian, there are snapshot images[3] which seem like a better approach for making apt-get reproducible. You'd simply have to change the "FROM" line in the Dockerfile to something like "FROM debian/snapshot:stable-20220316" (where 20220316 is the date of the image you are trying to reproduce, helpfully given in /etc/apt/sources.list).

With the approach you describe, you would have to carefully manage the base images: tag them, record which one was used to create each application image, and keep them around in order to reproduce older application images.

I'm sure there are situations where the approach you describe is useful (e.g. with other package managers, especially ones that don't have a notion of lockfiles), but it adds complexity and I don't think it's necessarily justified in the case of apt-get (at least on Debian).

> In most cases that's now more than doubled.

Really? I still find it difficult to get a laptop with more than 16 GB of memory.

13" MBP maxes out at 16 GB. 14" does have 32 for $500 more, which might be ok for a company but is certainly a lot for me to spend personally just so I can run Electron apps comfortably. Non Apple laptops are similar.

If I'm buying a laptop instead of a Desktop, its for the ability to conveniently bring it with me when I'm not at home. For that, 13" is my preferred form factor. So at least Apple and Dell laptops, I have not seen one with more than 16 GB. I feel its unreasonable to expect me to sacrifice physical comfort just so apps can be written to use Electron.
I don't think it'll make a big difference. We're already at the point where people only have kids when they want to. It might reduce some accidents but I think that's good. Not nice for a child to be unwanted.
Not to confuse with SDL_mixer (which is to output sound to audio devices). This is a module for decoding sound files in various formats.

I sure hope so. Because if not, that will mean everything is on "the cloud" -- and the main thing to know about "the cloud" is that there is no such thing, it's just someone else's machine. And if everything is on that, the owner of that machine will in practice have become Big Brother. It doesn't matter if there's just one of him or some oligarchy of a few of them.

Wether it be the Federation or the Empire; MicroGoog, OraFace, or Applazon; or any combination thereof -- Big Brother will inevitably be evil because A) Power corrupts (where is "Don't be evil" now?), and B) the whole idea of a "Big Brother" with absolute power is evil.
They should keep going down if we want to save this planet. Our population growth is unsustainable.

It'll cause some demographic issues in the short term but we'll just have to deal with that.
you can use --include-shell to inclue a shell. but my recommendation is always keep a non-slimmed image somewhere so you can refer to it and some debugging can be done in either, also that allows you to use something like slim.ai's(company behind docker-slim) web based SaaS features which allow you to see the differences between 2 images and see the file system in nice web base file tree. some bugs may stem from removing what is necessary for app to work(sometimes caused by not loading a library during "slimming" process) for those types of errors you need to know how your app runs more then anything.

What? Any attempt to regulate or restrict birth control against women is consistently held up as the “patriarchy” because it restricts women’s autonomy. Now not restricting it is patriarchy? Seems like literally everything is.

So far, men’s birth controls haven’t been legalized because the risks have been pretty massive. The last trial I heard of had a massive risk of suicide. “Patriarchy” has no part of it.

Not a decline but a stabilisation. That's really what's needed to make our planet sustainable.

Right now the absolute worst thing you can do for the environment is to have a child as a westerner.

And we're not hoping for loss of life. Just a more balanced population in the long term.

We can't keep growing until every square meter of this planet is covered with people, I'm sure that's clear. Eventually resources will be constrained too much and massive wars over control of the scraps will be inevitable. Which will solve the problem of overpopulation, sure. But it'll be better to gradually reduce population growth to zero and finally reach a balance with our environment.

Nobody is speaking of a massive decline.
> I would also argue that it culturally exists ageism in Sweden

In the supplements, they cite from "LARSSON, S.-O. & HARTIG, M. 2015. Ålderism (Ageism). In: (UPS), U. P. S. (ed.)":

"Sweden also ranks globally among the countries with the lowest regard to the elderly based on pre-pandemic surveys. Ageism, defined as prejudices or stereotypical perceptions based on a person's age and which can lead to discrimination, is a bigger problem in Sweden than in the other Nordic countries. When Swedish people are asked to rank the social position of different age groups in their country, the position of the elderly (70+ years) is ranked as the second lowest in the world. The elderly are also considered to have a much weaker position in society than young adults. This may be a consequence of prevailing individualism and rapid digitalisation and technological development, and weaker ties between the different generations (the family is not at the centre as in several other countries). In the Swedish society, aging is mainly regarded as a biological process of decay or decline, dehumanising the senior in the eyes of the rest of society, leading to marginalization and discrimination; considering the senior as a passive object."
