> competition requires consolidation in order to acquire new lines of profit, it’s inevitable

It may be inevitable but I think I have a solid idea to at least check its explosive growth.

The CEO and the board (includes President) ought to be personally civil as well as criminally liable for any actions of the employees, contractors, or agents of the company if they cannot prove that the employees, contractors, or agents acted against company policy. Elimination of the "right to work" is a precondition to this proposal.
Well, I laughed, anyway.
At scale, this seems awful for desert ecology. Plants and animals have evolved to survive on bare minimum water. The tiny morning dew may be all they get for days/weeks. Now we want to pluck it out before they can get any.

It’s certainly an interesting technology and achievement but one that could be easily misused with “unintended consequences”; or so it seems.
> Restricting access to guns

Again, this goes to my original point. What does this mean? You can't just hand-wave policy.
> The air is usually as dry as the ground in those places.

The ground isn’t all that dry, you can dig a hole, cover it with plastic and get enough water through evaporation/ condensation to hopefully not die of dehydration if you get stranded in the desert.

Something like this would be very helpful for troops in the desert since water is heavy and resupply is very critical to keep up combat readiness. Back when I was a “speed bump in the sand” they drove us out into choke points in the Saudi desert to take out a few Iraqi tanks before they overran us in case of invasion. Assuming we were able to somehow escape contact our mission was to then try to make it to the coast and steal a boat through we probably wouldn’t have had enough water to accomplish the second part. Not even exaggerating a little bit, such is the life of a paratrooper.
You could use a dotfiles manager like https://yadm.io/

It's more or less a wrapper of git, but it comes with a bunch of features that allow you to do the things you describe.

Wow.
100% - I want Lucid & Rivian to succeed, I just don't want to spend 80-150K to be their beta tester. People vastly under estimate how hard scaling is. Tesla was producing ~5-10K cars for many years before they hit the 100K level with the Model 3. It could be 5 years for Lucid & Rivian to become regularly available, serviceable car brands like Tesla just started to become in say 2019 or so.

I personally don't think anyone should be taking on a loan / spending any large % of their income buying from them and planning for them to be your primary vehicle. They are sufficiently low volume & high risk to remain rich man toys for a while!

Even when I bought in 2018 it felt a bit unsteady, with plenty of valid rumors they were going to fold.. including Musk later saying they were days away from bankruptcy during the Model 3 ramp up!
After reading this review[1], I'm now really interested to read his book.

This. I know many gun owners personally and almost none of them object to regulation, similar to the level we have for operating a motor vehicle. Things like waiting periods, background checks, denying weapons to violent criminals, mandatory training and gun registries are common sense to most everyone - including gun owners. But the NRA is driving an extremist interpretation of the 2nd amendment that leads a small but very vocal subset of the population to take gun ownership as gospel (literally in some cases) without bothering to ever read the actual text of the Bill of Rights.
Isn't this revolutionary for agricultural use?

> not everyone who has a problem with alcohol is necessarily and addict

I said if you can be controlled via alcohol you have a problem (with alcohol, an addiction) not that everyone who has a problem with alcohol can be controlled through it. I would argue anyone who can be controlled via alcohol is an addict, and not just someone with a problem.

However, it still works well and renders well on modern computers. That's a feat in itself.

Also, it's still impressive for an 64kB demo, and it still prints the stats at the end, so seeing GBs of data produced from formulae and procedures still makes people wow.

I do something similar, but even simpler. I have my entire home dir as a git repo, but my .gitignore contains a single "*". I git add files I want with a -f.

I'm gonna go though your guide later though-- I like quite a bit of what I've skimmed so far. Thanks for posting that.

Which, at the time and in context, meant "properly trained". The point of the text was that an armed and trained society was necessary to preserve freedom, which is why the right to bear arms shall not be infringed.

Sure, it's not going to be pretty. Even a 9mm (or a .22) is not going to be fun. Let me put it a different way: I've heard multiple knowledgeable people say they would rather get shot than stabbed.
I am a gun owner but the self-defense thing is a red herring IMO. You are far more likely to shoot yourself or be shot while owning a gun than you are successfully defending yourself. You can make the argument that they are fun to own and a constitutional right, but the self defense argument cant be taken seriously when the statistics show the exact opposite.

Everyone does lip service to simplicity, but in reality simplicity is really difficult.

If you have seven conditions driving a decision, a bunch if's might be the simplest implementation. If you have hundreds of conditions, a tree of if's becomes impenetrable. There is no one-size-fits-all when it comes to simplicity.

Some problems are inherently complex. You can't design a payroll system or tax calculation system which is simpler than the set of rules and regulations it has to implement.
Yeah you can go and read what was in the buffalo shooters head though which is a thing. He's pretty much a schizo christchurch copy cat. Amusingly he seems mostly in favor of shootings since it intensifies the gun control debate and accelerate the schism in the united states.

Gun control is not going to fix this kind of radicalism or its impact. The dude was a straight up terrorist and IMO he made the correct observation that this sort of terrorism will be successful in driving the divide and creating more extremism.

OK then; if you don't like "assault weapon"; let's clear this up terminological issue. I'd like to ban all automatic, select-fire or semi-automatic firearms, except on the basis of a permit issued on evidence of demonstrable need. We can move on to consider other types of actions.

> What is important to realize when reading this that it is a case of survivorship bias.

This is totally true, but taken too seriously it leads to inability to learn anything from almost any information whatsoever. What’s more, whatever you do (whether you take the advice of those who have gone before or not), you will not be able to decide whether you made good decisions or merely “survived”.

How does one proceed when anything can be survivorship bias and determining cause and effect for large scale operations like running a business is essentially impossible.

(When I say “anything can be survivorship bias” I specifically mean that no matter the cohort you cannot decide whether you’ve accidentally excluded unknown failures, and hence you have no assurance of the actual strength of any analysis you do).
You really don't need frameworks on go. You go and pick whatever tools you need like ORMS, http routers or loggers.

It is only a disadvantage if you want to have a framework.
I used to use a git repo of dotfiles which used a script to symlink into $HOME:
https://github.com/RyanGibb/dotfiles

But there were a few problems with it:
- installed packages needed to be managed separately (the mechanisms for which varied by platform)
- managing differing configs for different machines (e.g. headless servers, hardware quirks) was done by managing different branches of this repo and rebasing, which was a pain
- it was generally brittle and hard to change

I've started to use https://nixos.org/ and it's been like night and day:
https://github.com/RyanGibb/nixos/

My config is version controlled, reproducible, manages packages, and is very composable.

Using the nix package manager and https://github.com/nix-community/home-manager this should work on other Linux distributions, MacOS, and even Windows Subsystem for Linux. Although I haven't tried this for myself yet.
Aix was one of the target platforms for our development software back in the 2000's.

One of the most interesting differences from the other UNIXes we were using (HP-UX, Solaris), was the XCOFF format meaning a development experience to create shared objects similar to Windows dynamic libraries, including the famous import libraries and symbol definition files.
While as an Emacs-er I have obviously not much interest in it, for some aspects it's relatively revolutionary:

- it have a unique concept of transclusion, notes can have tags and calling tags allow transclusion of all matching notes in the current one, a very nice composition idea, especially since you choose between transclusion and link;

- notes are created, with a companion app saved, full-text searched with a very simple UI, better than similar small wikis like Zim;

- it's js/web nature is a turn off, but might be interesting for many since this days is an easy to share media, easy to serve locally (see for instance widdler);

- it's simple but still a bit featured, like attachment support, image rendering in-line, LaTeX math rendering etc and it's moderately easy to mold with web stuff.

Personally I consider both Tiddly Wiki and Zim wiki two best example of modern apps well done with all limits of modern apps in general compared to classic systems. All other desktop tools for notes I know are far, far, far less interesting then those.
I think the precariousness of Tesla, horrible service network, and months wait times on repair parts well into the 2019-2020 pre-pandemic time frame should chasten anyone who wants to buy an EV from an even smaller firm who are 5-8 years behind Tesla on the growth curve!

Someone responsible for a news organization can choose to set the policy. Maybe everyone can stop retweeting this stuff and engaging in a flame war online. Or stop consuming articles and videos about this incident. Not every problem can be solved by the state.
Sure, but why do a cross-post years later without saying the information might be dated?

For example, you cannot now "Swap out True and False". That was changed in Python 3, and while many were still using Python 2 in 2019, it wasn't so true in 2021.

If the service gives a 301/308 response, it should in theory rewrite all bookmarks and things like this, but that also opens up security issues especially when it comes to password managers.
That's a coercive form of control, whereas affordable housing and job opportunities are not in and of themselves. However, some jurisdictions can make them coercive by making them an opportunity people cannot refuse without legal consequences.

(Both this and my previous post should be regarded as descriptive not normative, that is a statement of how things can most coherently be described rather than how they ought to be)

Anti-homeless spikes are control. Unsleepable bench designs are control. Heck, even a sign can be control.
I feel most productive in Go. Less clutter to manage. Modern concurrency support.

As for least productive, the Fallout 3 tool bench scripting language. Some proprietary nonsense with examples so bad they clearly didn't understand basic for loops.

AppleScript is fairly awful, simply because it saves the source code as binary rather than text.

newLISP has phenomenal API documentation, with at least one example for every function. Unfortunately not spec to either Scheme or CommonLisp. For spec, see Chicken Scheme.m or CLISP.

Not a fan of Java, due to the temptation to overengineer everything. A second rate implementation of OOP in any case. altJVM languages tend to break the build tools. And you end up having to memorize two languages instead of one.

I prefer compiled languages, but if I had to pick a dynamic one to save my life then that would be Ruby. My pseudocode mimics a mix of Ruby and other languages. Ruby gives you enough rope to hang yourself. Or build a bridge. It borrows IF as expression from Scheme.

Shell (any flavor) has revealed just how risky the simplest line of code can be. The developer experience can be slightly improved here by turning on as many set safety flags as possible (e.g., set -eEuo pipefail). But generally I've learned to treat all shell scripts as time bombs. Just say no to ksh and to non-POSIX shell languages like Fish, PowerShell, rc, (t)csh.

C++ as a teaching tool has been enlightening for studying applied computer science concepts, especially about performance. Rust has a smoother, less warty syntax.

Python I would say is a siren calling out in sweet dulcet tones. As you approach production, Python snaps its eval jaws around your torso and drags you into the abyss. It looks friendly for newbies but is less reliable or expressive for advanced use. Ruby is similar but better in so many ways.

Node.js has wonderful ideas with their NPM. Too bad about ECMAScript.
Mental health is a talking point, but it's a really good one. The U.S. dismantled their mental health systems in the 80s. It was well justified at the time as there were a number of human rights issues around torture and indefinite detention. Now the pendulum has swung too far the other way and problematic individuals are essentially impossible to hold anywhere. There is a definite need to have facilities that can hold people for potentially prolonged periods, but aren't prisons.
> Simple Outperformed Smart. As a self-admitted elitist, it pains me to say this, but it’s true: the startups we audited that are now doing the best usually had an almost brazenly ‘Keep It Simple’ approach to engineering.

My hunch is that this is related to the nature of product-market fit. If a company is very successful, there's a decent shot that market demand became overwhelming at some point early on. That demand, in turn, becomes a strong motivator to keep things simple and ship quickly, instead of writing code The Right Way.

Facebook using PHP might be one of the best examples of this: if their user base didn't explode, maybe they would've taken the time to carefully rewrite their code in Java or Python. But the fact that they would've had time to do that would've made it less likely that they'd become $500b company today.
Savage also mixed in RTS so you could have one player play StarCraft while the others were units
Personally I'm in Emacs for almost anything so different environments are just different set of org-mode files with things to tangle, different org attach and roam directories etc, common staff sync-ed with unison.

It is very hard, and theres a different between cutting them slack and writing them a $150K check :-) !

It's not entirely clear they are going to ramp up faster or better than Tesla.

There are already credible leaks that they have followed some of the Tesla playbook - running out to Home Depot for "parts" and enlisting white collar office staff for help in final assembly..

I'm running an i7700k and a GTX1070 on a rig that was built in 2016. It's fine. Not the most performant thing that's ever been run on my machine, but it's perfectly playable. I had some stuttering issues during the first week or two but have not had any significant problems for quite some time.

It's a big plus in the corporate world to be able to outsource support. It's worth it for companies to pay VMWare, Microsoft, etc. larges sums of money for support contracts so they have someone to call when things break. While Microsoft sells Windows Server, they also try really hard to add on support contracts with it. Paying several thousand dollars a year for a support contract is probably cheaper than paying salary+benefits for someone within the company to maintain it, and you get the façade of talking directly to people who know the product inside and out

Everything delgaudm said 100%

Plus, if you post the specifics of what equipment you have, and if you're willing to spend a lil bit of money, I'm sure this comment section will be full of audio people happy to help. (including me) I'm sure Tascam has a pocket sized recorder for $100-200 that will do the job for you.

Or, if you're feeling more DIY, you can inject the 3-5V yourself! Don't take my word on it (I dabble in EE but shouldn't be trusted), but it looks like all it takes is a few capacitors, resistors and maybe a voltage regulator to power up that microphone. Then you can use any ole sound card to record.

(Or, you could just spend the $150 and get a proper recorder. Whichever sounds more fun.)
No, docker doesn't require a hypervisor of any kind.

Is it? Is that way there are money-laundering-as-a-service systems out there? Can I do the same thing with cash?

What Lagarde is saying is that this stuff needs to be regulated before too many people lose their shirts. So far these "crypto assets" have demonstrated no value. Many folks are dumping their life savings into these schemes and losing everything. If enough people lose everything houses foreclose, debts go unpaid, inflation goes up.

The same thing was done every time the grifters tried it in traditional currencies. Too many people lost their shirts, government stepped in, we changed the rules and added regulation, and people get better protection. The crypto space is speed-running through all of these scams. What they're doing isn't new, it's all been done before.
Nobody laughs when MS uses Linux.
Here in the UK, we haven't had a school shooting in decades - despite the availability of affordable CNC machines and 3D printers.

After all, I have no gun and also no bullets, and also no gunpowder or primers, and also nobody I could show a DIY gun off to, and also nowhere I could shoot a DIY gun, and also if I use it to defend my home, the cops can put two and two together.

Criminals generally just use knives. Obviously people who can import illegal drugs can also import illegal guns, but they're keen to keep a low profile.

Of course, I doubt America could ever get to where the UK is today - too many people who are passionately pro-gun, and too many guns around out there.
Can you give some examples of some simple questions you would ask?
This is an appealing idea, with a great soundbite, that has literally no large-scale evidence in its favor. The epidemiological evidence is pretty clear on this; the prevalence of self-defense use of guns is minuscule.

Even where guns are used in self-defense, it's often in the context of an escalation of an argument rather than in the scenarios people imagine. People who do use guns to protect themselves in the course of crimes are no less likely to be injured than those who do not.
Indeed. None of this stuff is new, but it requires a "is this measure reasonable and proportionate to the problem" discussion which isn't black or white.
VMware has a ton of product, none of them really competes with Docker. They do have Tanzu I suppose, but that more a Kubernetes offering.

I would argue that there are more Docker containers running on a VM, running on top of VMware than there are Docker containers running on bare metal servers.

Both VMs and containers can be used and misused in a number of ways, but rarely can you replace a VM on VMware ESXi with Docker. There's still a massive business case for VMware and the only real competitors are Microsoft Hyper-V and Citrix XenServer (if it's still called that).

You also have to remember that there's a crazy big Microsoft world out there, Docker and containers still aren't of much use here. While this could run on Hyper-V, many just pick ESXi because it's what they know (No one was ever fired for choosing VMware).
Then we have a market for a nice UI wrapper around Docker which provides a display render.

You can run Windows in a docker container so this would support legacy applications.

I'm not saying it's easy, but it's not insurmountable. If all else fails, Virtual box is open source
