Like high frequency trading players front-running trades, faking liquidity, manipulating prices, and changing infrastructure to benefit them to really screw people that want to buy or sell stocks? Never heard of anyone getting prosecuted by the legal system for that (besides for taking HFT code with them, but never for screwing a normal buyer or seller).

It would be great if there was more moral in finance, but I think that's wishful thinking and doesn't really distinguish traditional finance or Defi. The only nice thing about Defi is that everyone can see what's going on in contrast to what happens when you do something in traditional finance.

The problem is the obfuscation. It's another layer of politics to allow political parties to do what they want. This proposal doesn't work locally? Make it an EU level thing.

Part of the problem is how a lot of EU countries work. A parliamentary system means that the parties that create the coalition in the national government have a majority in the legislature, therefore they will control the executive. The executive then appoints somebody to the EU commission. These parties then make up EU-level parties too in the EU parliament.

In essence, it's the same groups of people that push politics on both levels.

This is International Agreements 2.0, where politicians can use external methods to bypass local policymaking.
If you'd ever wondered what pro-CCP astroturfing looks like, this is a pretty good example of the typical playbook.

- Muddy the waters by discounting very real evidence ("the only evidence are verbal testimonies and generic 'leaks'")

- Point fingers at the US for entirely unrelated things ("unlike forever US prison industrial complex where mass internment is the goal")

Repeat ad nauseum. I see comments like this _all_ the time here on and on Twitter and it never ceases to blow my mind how deeply people are willing to shove their head in the sand in order to justify the actions of their government.

The CCP is actively engaging in a genocidal campaign against a religious and ethnic minority and lying about it on the world stage. That is a fact, and no amount of reframing or American blame-shifting is going to change that.
Exactly. From the web page it seems that "isolation" here is basically just installing separate copies of services/libs (php, nginx, etc) under an IndigoStack controlled folder and then running them on a port not already taken by another service. One of the benefits of Docker is explicitly that it does a change root and thus provides an isolated file system in which to run your code. It also creates separate network interfaces for the process to isolate it from your host network.

This has a number of benefits including protecting sensitive files/info in your home folder from rogue dependencies and allowing you to easily toss the dev environment into a black hole once it's no longer needed. If IndigoStack somehow implements isolation using chroot or other MacOS/Darwin equivalents it should be explained on the web page. Otherwise I think the marketing text is misleading:

> Bare metal. With the best of virtualized.

Edit:

I do like the idea of something like IndigoStack though. Being able to describe a dev environment programatically/declaratively and then having something take care of setting that up is nice. If you're a pure MacOS shop then something platform specific like this is probably an okay solution.
Ed Feser is a known lunatic. You only need to look up his comments on same sex marriage for evidence.

It says on his bio he writes from a conservative viewpoint and he is a Roman Catholic. I had a quick google and although I could find articles by him on the subject representing those viewpoints and being critical or opposed, I couldn't immediately find "lunatic" arguments. Perhaps you could point us to them?
Anyone who thinks that Docker isn't a problem is obviously on Linux and not on a Mac. While I agree with the concept of Docker being fantastic, the practical reality is that it's painfully slow on MacOS even with the new virtiofs. I have been beta testing Indigo for the past week with Drupal sites and I can confidently say this is an order of magnitude faster at everything but especially things that you do repetitively all day, every day: clearing cache, config import, `drush uli`. There's no syncing issues to deal with so you're never left wondering if you saved some incorrect css or if it just hasn't synced into the container yet. I'm still yet to come across a configuration I couldn't replicate based on a fair number of Pantheon, Platform.sh and Acquia hosted sites.

I like making websites, I don't like tinkering with servers.
I agree. This paragraph might explain the lack of substance:

Readable’s tone and sentiment tools help you to optimise your content for positivity. Using our sliders, you’ll gain a deeper understanding of your language.

So the article is an ad for sentiment analysis and has probably been "optimized" by that tool. Hence the vacuous tone that ironically is an example of toxic positivity itself.

Is it a counter-example though?

Interesting that you assumed it's just using different ports, and then judged the author based on your assumption.

There are other ways to achieve process isolation in a Unix environment without relying on Docker or virtualization.
So crypto built a lobby by permeating social networks. Those who owned it effectively received a kickback from promoting it to their peers and were heavily incentivized to silence dissent. On HN I remember Sam Altman promoting a ridiculous concept of a sphere that would scan a hash from your iris and then give you a shitcoin (worthless hyped token) in return. This shitcoin would, claimed ‘worldcoin’ be humanities future currency.
Everyone called bullshit but HN censored the dissent where twitter did not - and that is valuable proof of the mechanism in play. It was a cash grab plain and simple.

The key to understanding cryptomania lies in the correct definition of scarcity. What, exactly, is scarce about cryptocurrency? Because even though the math guarantees a finite number of bitcoins, since almost anyone could in 20 minutes create a shitcoin and hype it on social media, and then exchange it for bitcoin, and the bitcoin for USD… it would appear that the true scarce resource backing the cryptocurrency markets is the collective expendable income and credit of a gullible demographic of the online population.

So you’re witnessing a transfer of resources very likely from one group with a genetic mutation that results in a series of specific behavioral traits, to a group without the defect. You’re actually witnessing evolution.

IMHO the reason why it's "hard" to get stuff done in C (which I don't necessarily agree with), is mainly the bare bones stdlib, less the language. Eg C programming is much more library-driven than language driven. It sucks if the used libraries suck (such as most of the C stdlib), but it is great when using libraries with a modern API design (eg the opposite of POSIX).

No. f-strings are an awful idea. And combining them with r-strings is yet another awful idea. Please, never do that.

I'm also not a big fan of extended / verbose regular expressions because it creates ambiguity in interpretation (a slightly different language to define regular expressions). It's a bad solution to the problem of building longer expressions, which should've been addressed in a different way: by making the language of regular expressions more modular, not through allowing more hard-to-interpret language details.
Just FYI, China doesn't care about the ‘common ground’ with Russia, and their cooperation mostly comes to China wanting Chinese companies to build infrastructure projects in Russia and receive fat checks for that. China keeps Russia away from its trade to the extent that they built train routes to Europe almost next to Russia through several neighboring countries. China's response to the invasion of Ukraine was: “Such conflicts should be solved with diplomacy”.

I'm no expert, but as far as I can tell, the decision to do anything about China comes from the population of their main trade partner the US—specifically depending on whether those people ever decide that they can do fine without cheap tech and tsatskes from China.

Given that the problem is effectively 'total force over the entire footprint of the vehicle', you would need a platform that doesn't press down on the ground. I guess helicopers would work. Maybe a hovercraft too, but I suspect a hovercraft effectively transfers all the force into the ground anyway.

The case for helmets on bicycles is less clear cut than it is for more dangerous forms of transit such as downhill longboarding. Among other things it makes car drivers drive more dangerously around you, but it also changes much more common and less dangerous accidents into more dangerous ones. Taking a tumble on a bicycle is generally not fun, but getting your neck twisted due to a helmet isn't improving things.

Of course I come at this from the perspective from a country where there's more miles of cycle lane than miles of car-only roads. Who knows which way the balance tips if you need to mix bicycle and car traffic. To be honest I would simply not ride a bicycle if that was required of me on a regular basis.

> I'm always surprised how little interest there seems to be from the international muslim community in the Xinjiang situation, given that at least parts of it really blow up over even minor anti-Islam actions by single individuals quite regularly.

You're not imagining this — Muslim countries support China. See this map of a UN vote to condemn China's treatment of Uyghurs in Xinjiang[1]. You'll notice that every Muslim country that didn't abstain defended China. In fact the only countries that condemned China are countries that are militarily allied with the United States.

If you look at any of the "NGOs" that push the narrative that China is oppressing Muslims in Xinjiang, every single one of them is funded either by the National Endowment for Democracy[2][3][4] (an arm of the US State Department notorious for pushing regime change in countries the US doesn't like) or the Australian Strategic Policy Initiative, which in turn is sponsored by several US arms manufacturers[5], such as Raytheon, Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, etc. — all of whom would profit massively from a war with China, for which this narrative is manufacturing consent.

Even the site that spawned this discussion seems to be associated with Adrian Zenz. A lot of the claims in Xinjiang can be traced back to his "work". He's a fundamentalist Christian bigot, is a fellow at the "Victims of Communism Memorial Foundation" and claims to have been sent on a mission by God himself to destroy the Communist Party of China. His "work" has been thoroughly debunked many times over.[6]

Frankly, the narrative is bullshit. The Muslim world that has suffered massively at the hands of US imperialism can see right through it and votes accordingly. China has never invaded or bombed any Muslim country. The US has no credibility in the Muslim world.

In an EU country elections are held for the national parliament. The winning party usually creates a coalition with another party to create a majority in parliament. This gives them legislative powers.

In a parliamentary system the legislature picks the prime minister (executive), therefore the coalition now controls the executive branch too.

Now the executive branch appoints someone to the EU commission. The EU commission holds legislative power in the EU.

EU parliamentary elections pick MEPs. The successful national parties are going to find now success in MEP elections, because they're already successful locally.

This same national party is part of an EU-wide along with other similar parties from other EU nations. The elected MEPs will have EU-party affiliations based on that.

Or in other words, it's the same groups of people in power on all of these levels.
Only a little over 30 years ago USA rolled out its police to blow up its own citizens, razing entire city block: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1985_MOVE_bombing. They didn't need to deny or cover up anything, obviously nobody got punished for this, because the victims were black.

So, yeah, while the Western people can certainly voice their opinion, it's often because their opinion doesn't matter.

Given that one of the early team members was a world-famous wardriving expert and that the cars were initially “accidentally” scraping all open data transmissions they could find, the initial strategic/business analysis probably was some form of: what if we drove cars around that just physically scraped data from unsuspecting neighborhoods Wi-Fi networks for our advertising algorithms, and in exchange we’ll make photos of those neighborhoods publicly available.

Note that when the FCC investigated this practice they found that the data collection was definitely a deliberate design decision, which obviously makes sense given they moved Milner (creator of Netstumblr) over from YouTube to work on it.

So yeah, it’s just a fancy hacking project on wheels against unencrypted networks and with a corporate wrap on the car to support the ad network.

I never realized that Healthchecks.io was a one man show.
I'm almost ashamed to say that i've been using the free tier for years. I moved from self hosted to the free tier when i killed off all of self hosted services, and i don't have much legitimate use for it, having it attached to a backup of a Raspberry Pi running HomeBridge in my summerhouse :)

I do use it for a purpose it probably was not designed for :) In my summerhouse, one of the circuit breakers trips every now and then (1-2 times per year) for no apparent reason, and since the fridge is connected to that breaker, i very much fear arriving at a summer house where the fridge has been unpowered for a couple of weeks.

The solution to that of course, was to setup a systemd timer on a Raspberry Pi (that also runs HomeBridge), which pings Healthchecks.io every 15 minutes. If it misses 2 pings it raises an alert.

So far i've had 2 notifications in the 2+ years it's been running, and both have been internet connection related, so monitoring the situation has apparently changed something :)
