Why do we need Docker? Just so that it’s easy to ship to server? How about rsync + taking the risk of dependencies conflicting?

Sorry not expert at all the infra stuff. But I hope we can question things.

I am old enough to remember families (my own included) being destroyed by this same reality pre-ACA. Insurance being tied to your job was a pre-aca reality.

I was born with heart defects, pre-aca it was literally impossible for me to get private, non-corporate coverage, I tried for years.

At least denying coverage for pre-existing conditions means that getting diagnosed between jobs isn't a complete family destroying death sentence like it was for mine.
Cool, that's an interesting way to apply parser combinators. Where can I download the library? Also, the Sample Code link at the end is 404.
I automatically assume `-v` is short for `--verbose` rather than `--version`, and always type out the latter.

I doubt most would characterize the actions of US police as "accountable."

Regardless, police don't handle noise complaints where I live. Presumably they don't want to bother with the paperwork.
I live in the northeast and we seem to still have local music stores offering the usual mix of instrument sales and service, lessons, sheet music and other supplies, etc. If I understand correctly from casual conversations with the owner of our local store many of them make a lot of their revenue renting instruments to local school students.
Those smaller non-public competitors typically end up being acquired (or destroyed) by the larger, well-funded incumbent. Etsy's acquired a number of other marketplaces already.
It's because they're STILL trying to make Windows a mobile OS. And they can't figure it out.

It's the only explanation. The taskbar has been movable since Windows fucking 95. And I've never seen any apps on Windows have any issues with moving it around.
My plan is to go to Mars with the first domestic pet cat; it implies a level of civilization/comfort/safety (to be able to have pets) which is consistent with what I'd want myself. Maybe 10k people? 50k? Hopefully I live that long.
This is really cool! I never looked into WASM before, I'm really happy to see it's not that difficult to build a simple example like this.

One thing that's bothering me about that code is the declaration of `memory` as an uint8_t when it's clearly being used for its address:

extern uint8_t memory;

And then in a lot of places:

uint8_t* ptr = &memory;
ptr[FOO] = BAR;

Declaring `memory` as an array is much more idiomatic C, and generates the exact same assembly:

extern uint8_t memory[];

And then

memory[FOO] = BAR;

I just tested it, and it seems to work exactly as one would expect from a plain C linker (so there's no WASM magic I can see). Am I missing something?
You don't upload entire 2-5gb iso or vm images to github or gitlab imo. The sorun.me project itself is in fact hosted on github - not sourceforge. Will admit I had no reason to be on sourceforge at all until I was like "Hey.. I need a place to host these images." and I realized that sourceforge is still a thing and perfect for hosting such large images for free.

Of course I could host it myself - but I guess I should just provide links on my actual sorun.me page.
Those are typically written contracts - as in the sign with a camera when entering buildings.
A 5-star review should be left. If you are given measurements and the product matches those measurements, the only one at fault is you. A measurement is literally a definitive answer to the size of something. Get a ruler or measuring tape out and visualize it for yourself. Humans aren't good at judging things precisely, that's why we have tools!

My ex was a clothing Seller on Etsy. A 4-star review because something didn't fit right was super stressful for her, because it meant her average rating went down and her seller status might be demoted.

I think a better option is to contact the seller directly if you are dissatisfied with the product. That way you aren't transferring your problem to them.
People in the West, please, don't complain. In Russia right now, if you just call a war in Ukraine a "war", you'll get arrested. Please enjoy what you have now, it's so much better. Left wing people are WAY much more soft than from the right.
This whole debacle is Exhibit A.

They’re lucky they have a sound backup strategy in place, and that the amount of data lost is appearing to be minimal.
I haven't had insurance for five years because the (major, national) providers who cover what I need aren't available on my state's marketplace (NY).

Self-hosted Jira sucked because it was shitty software, not because self-hosting has to suck. Mattermost and Jitsi are easy to self-host, to give two examples that are not complete shit.
The ACA ossified the existing system a bit, but employer-provided care was the norm before the ACA. That or just not having any insurance, especially for young people working for small companies.

I think your sense of history is quite misguided.

"we brought them to stalemate"

In the continuation war of Finland and Germany against Soviet Union, German troops formed a large part of the front.

"had enough deterrent to stop them from conquering us later."

Without allied pressure Soviet Union could have steamrolled over Finland after Germany receded.

Instead Finland got the bitter pill of being in Kremlin leash for decades - but still much preferable to death or rule by communist junta.

Some of what you mention are "negative results" that are quite prevelant and a necessary part of any research. However, the expected mold at publishing venues is such that they are not considered worthwhile.

My colleagues and I are trying to address this by creating a platform to discuss and publish such "bad" or "negative" results. More info here:

I'm sure they will also be thrilled waiting sometimes seconds for a character to echo. Good Luck, I suffer with cloud Atlassian every day.
Gary Bernhardt's WAT video never fails to make me laugh.
I don't understand the general thrust of this argument. There are carbon offset companies that are investigated according to sets of standards, specifically to rule out abuses like planting trees that will just get cut down again.

And I understand the basic system effects of: Currently it is cheap to buy enough offsets to cancel out one year of citizenship. If everyone does it, then these plentiful opportunities dry up - whether it's running out of land to plant trees or running out of pilot programs to bury carbon, it gets more expensive.

But that's a feature, not a bug. It means that over that period of time, more externalities have been captured into the system, which is exactly what we want. If companies are mandated to buy offsets and they get expensive, then it creates the incentive to create more tech to be able to sequester more carbon. Which is what we want.
Virtue signaling about the topic de jure (BLM, Women at Atlassian, etc.) and how they've sunk hundreds of engineering hours into changing all their repos from "master" to "main" thanks to the heroic work by their Diversity Inclusion and Equity in Engineering team.

"when someone calls a statement 'x-ist,' they're also implicitly saying that this is the end of the discussion."

This thesis is the real "throwing the baby out with the bathwater". I can respect that it applies truthfully to many would-be SJWs, and the labels are indeed used to end conversations. However, meaningfully calling something racist, sexist, etc. is a start of a process, not an end. This meaningful discussion (and, much more frequently, reflection) is too often precluded when one party is too defensive to look honestly, openly, and beyond themselves, at their own biases.
> I think "annoying" is a better description.

Tying your personal health and that of your loved ones to your employer gives your boss unduly leverage over yourself, particularly when there are life and death decisions to be made.
Never had a problem picking up my 11 but then again it's barely spent a day outside of it's case.
I see only a complete rejection of the collaborative organization that is society, which provided literally everything that gave you the opportunities and outcomes you now enjoy. And now you brag about enriching yourself beyond your share, occupying space where others could make use of those opportunities, reducing the opportunities for everyone in the future.

Society improves when more people have more chances to contribute positively. There is so much underutilized talent out there. To block off those opportunities hampers the development of society writ large.

Still have an obsessive attachment to acting purely selfishly? Then think of it like this: acting to close off others' opportunities prevents them from inventing and producing things that you could benefit from. Would you act differently knowing that giving someone else a chance may lead to the development of a medicine that will save your life a few years down the road?

Also, that last paragraph makes me think you don't really interact with real human beings that often.
Yeah... It's dangerous to accept random YouTubers' content as fact mindlessly.

I'm not sure all he says are correct, but at least he uses the target companies' engineer blogs, external articles, and some open-sourced part of systems (and list them in the video's detail section).
His main targets are often big techs like Twitter, Uber, and Netflix, so I guess such documents are often available.
the clever way to parse `-help` is to treat it as multiple options, but design your argument handler so that the `help` handler short-circuits and doesn't do anything except output help text and exit (i.e. it reads '-h' then calls the help handler and exits, doesn't matter if -e isn't a valid option).
I can see it now, whole village grouping together to get their one coin.
Such a tariff would have wide ranging impact. Low-cost goods are not just finished products going to consumers, it would impact intermediate products such as small chips or modules that are assembled into final products. We also have come to expect many commodity-like products to be readily available at very low cost, something that a tariff would hurt. These aren't trinkets, we're talking batteries, cables, etc produced from reputable Chinese manufacturers like Anker.
I’ve built one of these at FAANG. Generally the different parts of the system are completely separate teams that interact through apis and ingest systems. Usually there’s a mix of online and offline calculations, where features are stored in a nosqldb and some simple model runs in a tomcat server at inference time, or the offline result is just retrieved. Almost everything is precomputed.

We had an api layer where another team runs inference on their model as new user data comes in, then streams it to our api which inboards the data.

On top of this, you have extensive A/B testing systems
Reddit is pretty much built on argument and war of words. They send you instant alert if someone replies to you via 3 channels and want you to check that reply with constant highlighting of new mesages.

They want you to keep track of your karma and get positive dopamine hit with the upvote alerts.

These sites are like drugs. I am surprised why there is not much talk about this.

I don't blame the crash, the wild price fluctuation is an intentional design of the system that should be entirely expected by anyone invested in this. Personally I always thought cryptocurrency was a broken concept but I was willing to let the enthusiasts do it as long as they kept it to themselves. It's their money, after all. Then a bunch of things happened like the crazy price gouging on GPUs, the energy costs skyrocketing and not showing any signs of slowing down, the mainstreaming of NFTs and pay-to-play blockchain gaming and other blatant scams, the report after report on high-profile hacks and frauds and rug pulls, etc.... and it's become apparent that the damage from this can no longer remain self-contained.
At least in bash, just run

^help^^

Which will rerun the previous command but substitute "help" with "" (nothing).
That isn't true at all. Citizens in countries without puppet governments have no problem informing themselves and contacting their legislators to drive real change.

In a place like the US, you get the illusion of choice. It's quite literally red team and blue team, and proponents of this system treat it exactly like a sporting event. The average American has zero ability to get any law changed or enacted.

A great contemporary example is the right to repair activism. Most people are sick of the "throw it away and buy a new one" mentality, and a lot of them are becoming very vocal in their support. This could be an easy way for politicians to boost their popularity and get reelected while doing real good in a bipartisan manner. Instead, these politicians pay the crowds lip service, sit on their hands and drag their feet while making up any reason not to do it. They know full well that their continued enrichment is contingent on the bribes they take and the connections they have, not your votes.

So when you include a 3rd party C++ library, how do you know it's not doing some malicious things?
I'm not exactly sure why the Chinese government paying for the transport costs of cheap trinkets likely bought by low income consumers is a situation that needs fixing.
Maybe. I worry that the situation in Mexico will continue to devolve and it'll be an impossible security risk for a multinational to operate anything that could be stolen, held hostage, etc. by a cartel.

That's pretty much what I said, no? It gets awkward: now your library can't just load some data table it needs from a file, it has to have either some sort of initialization step where you give it the capabilities it needs or it has to take them in the API call itself.

Now let's say you change the implementation such that it needs a new permission. You have to pass that in, which may well mean passing it in from the root of the app through a long call stack. Quite painful. Programmers like conveniences such as being able to give a string instead of a file handle.
The JS standard library is very slim. I think this is both its greatest strength and weakness, and to your point, makes it likely that people just install some random package v's solve the problem themselves. I'm not sure which is better philosophically, but personally having done a lot of PHP dev in the last decade I find the JS code i'm writing to be easier to read but much harder to understand and run from a package management perspective. I think the developers working on solutions in JS would probably behave very different if they were given more built in tools to work with.
Obviously you never had a bad trip. If you had, you'd understand the power and dangers it can have to a person.

I've had a few (always learned a lot, so all net positive experiences) but I understand the damage it can do for a person that's not fully mentally stable.
What issues with government-run health insurance are you worried about?
There are two significant dangers:

1) (set) A bad trip can result in a massive setback in terms of one's mental health -- which can take months or even years to overcome. This risk is significantly mitigated by the presence of an expert (which may be a therapist, and may be a seasoned psychonaut) who can talk through issues as they arise for the tripper.

2) (setting) People on mushrooms occasionally do really stupid shit. A naive user might not expect the trip to last for hours, realize they're "late" for some real-world engagement, and get into a car to drive there. Early into one of my first trips, I noticed that a 20m cliff appeared to be getting shorter... nearly short enough to jump. This can be mitigated by the presence of an expert (or, honestly, almost any sober adult), who should ensure that the immediate environment is effectively baby-proofed.
I agree with you, but as an individual I don't have the power to make that change.
You don't even need a bug. Just a wrong system clock.

We had a few windows laptops where something caused them to time travel to 8000 years in the future. Then, they'd slowly spend a few hours deleting every local profile, as nobody had logged in to them for 8000 years. Then, they'd do something to their time zone database and travel back 8000 years.

When they started the process, it was unstoppable. Trying to modify the system clock to something sane just caused them to depart to the future again, even if disconnected from the network. None of our users was very amused by this behavior, even if everything important was backed up.
Perhaps it’s all ratings then because we’ve shipped 100% on time, pay someone to respond to customer messages within 8 hours, and we still somehow don’t meet the criteria.

The cost of shipping individual trinkets already went up quite a while ago. What you do is import a whole crate or shipping container of trinkets, then distribute them from a US warehouse. The shipping cost on the crate/container is higher, but spread over hundreds or thousands of units inside that container.
This is exactly right. I saw one ad tech company advertising the ability to target Congressional staff members at their homes. I wondered how they did this and read my ISP's privacy policy. I hadn't realized they sold my personal information and IP address for targeting purposes.
In modern equal tempered music Dm isn't any sadder than the other minor keys. It's only in older tuning systems (ex https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Well_temperament) the different keys had different feelings.
Because unless you agree with me, you're a bad, evil person who deserves a punch in the face!

More seriously, I suspect that it's related, at least in part, to (as are many stress/anger-inducing things) insecurity and/or frustration.

If you "know" something and another person disagrees, that's sometimes considered an insult or affront to that person's value as a human. If one is insecure about themselves, it feels like an attack.

Even if you're interacting with, say, a flat-earther and they categorically deny that we live on an oblate spheroid, and no amount of evidence or explanation will convince them, that can be frustrating.

I wonder if such reactions are related to (poor) impulse control?
1. An argument (that others are also making) that we need to be willing to accept partial solutions.

2. A pun.
Can someone fact check the “Putin price hike” angle or are all the debunkers on vacay this administration? I do recall months and months of extremely high inflation and gas prices $1.50/gal more than they were two years ago, prior to any “Russian interference” in our economy via the war in Ukraine. Is the media really going to let Biden get away with this? Because I don’t think anyone in the real world is really buying it.

Reminds me of the sinking of the General Belgrano during the Falklands War. The story at the time was that the Belgrano, an Argentinian warship, was leaving the Falklands to return to Argentina, when a British submarine sunk her; there were many in the UK who considered this an outrage, on the grounds that she was no longer contributing the occupation of the Falklands, so should have been left alone.

That analysis never made much sense to me, and apparently it later came out that the Belgrano wasn't leaving the Falklands anyway, and much later on the captain of the Belgrano said he thought that the British were quite right to sink it [1]!

> gets ousted thru civil protests?

People died there. 67 of the protesters died after being shot. They were killed. However, 18 police officers died, too - and probably not to friendly fire. That seems to suggest there was violence involved. Most of that violence was done by the police. Still, that death toll on the police side cannot be just an accident. There was fighting happening there. The police used violence, but the protesters reciprocated in kind.

I'm not saying who was right or wrong. Obviously, 750 people with gunshot wounds is too much for any police action. The officers evidently failed to get the situation under control, and, of course, they are paid to do just that, so the large part of responsibility lies with them. They shouldn't have needed to shot to kill. But, the protesters also could have gone home. Or they could have stayed there, but without resorting to violence (though they would be tortured and some of them would get killed anyway). What actually happened, though, resembled regular urban warfare, if Wikipedia description is to be trusted. One side was out-armed, the other outnumbered, but there definitely were two opposing forces, fighting for territory, taking and re-taking important points, moving wounded to the rear, making surprise attacks or night raids, and fighting them off, involving third parties, and so on.

Again, none of that justifies the invasion by Russia. Annexation of territory, and the war that ensued are both Russia's responsibility and crime. Obviously, Russia is an aggressor here, and it violated sovereignty of Ukraine, no matter the reasons. I'm writing this much about the obvious, because last time I pointed this out I got into a lengthy, very frustrating, discussion with someone who accused me of being on Moscow's payroll. I'm not. I'm not justifying any action of Russia, and I'm not endorsing their aggression, and I don't feel (at very least) like I advance their agenda.

But. More than hundred dead and more than a thousand wounded is not, in my opinion, (EDIT: just a) "civil protest".
