> Unsurprising, really. The usefulness of it cannot be overstated.

Furthermore, in addition to the points you mentioned, it also lets us:

- trivially remap ports to whatever we want (and expose whichever we'd like to the outside)
- easily set resource limits, so your instance of MariaDB doesn't bring the whole server down and make it unresponsive
- abstract away storage, in case you want a specific directory for your backups instead of following HFS (say, just have /app, treating the rest of the server as throwaway)
- perhaps most importantly, your host OS is now separate from the actual containers that you are running, updating/redeploying either becomes a breeze

Recently, I actually decided to build my own containers for all of my personal use cases and it's been an interesting experience: I base everything on a LTS version of Ubuntu and just use apt for getting all of the runtimes (Node, Java, .NET, PHP, Ruby, Python, ...) for my own software, and so far it's a nice experience.

All I need is the base Ubuntu image from Docker Hub and the rest is up to me and the regular mirrors/repositories for the software packages in question, most of which can be stored on my own Nexus instance as needed, as well as the whole build process is primarily driven through Gitea, Drone CI and a few "servers" (repurposed old computers with passive cooling) that I have on my desk.

Though for now I also use Bitnami images for databases and such, which are also decent and which I largely just cache on my end: https://bitnami.com/stacks/containers

So what I'm trying to say, is that there's a lot of flexibility that you can enjoy, both in making your own "templates" for web servers, programming languages, build toolchains etc., as well as you can grab pre-made stuff that other people have made, be it on Docker Hub, someone's Nexus/Artifactory/Harbor instance or another registry out there.

Docker and other OCI compatible tools have largely achieved the sort of adoption and widespread usage that projects like Nix and Guix could also benefit from.
I imagine that part of this is due to the nature in which it was donated by Oracle to Apache. Legally obligating it’s continued distribution
Like Imagen, Parti is not open-sourced/easily accessible for the same reasons.
How did DDG reveal its focus on politics? Are you referring to them dropping Yandex? Unfortunately there’s no good options in that situation because however good Yandex is, it basically gives the Russian government free reign to inject propaganda into search results, which is basically the opposite of being apolitical.
My most despised (feature) of Twitter on desktop is that purposeful delay to alerts, where it blinks for a splitsecond and then the little colored alert icon disappears for a solid 3 to 5 seconds only to appear again this time correctly and permanently

It is just so annoying that they would do such a thing, I am sure that they have a/b tested it, I don't care it drives me insane, just make it work properly tho I am sure that they have also taken onto account people like me whom despise it, yet not enough to leave the platform

Just an overall worsening of user experience
Have you tried not paying taxes?
> You may have to license your entire codebase under GPL if you incorporate GPL code and distribute it.

I would suggest that you actually take your own advice and get more information yourself.

No license can force you to release your code. Nope, not even GPL.

Instead, what a rights holder can do, is sue for damages for the copyright theft, for not following the license. They can't force you to follow the license. Instead, they can say that you didn't follow it, therefore you stole the code, and owe money to them, for stealing the code, depending on how much the code is worth.

The only thing that GPL does, is it gives people permission to use the works, in exchange for releasing code. But, if you infringe, the damages do not depend on whatever the license was, or whatever request the license makes.

To use an example someone else gave, of the "first born child" license, imagine someone writes a simple binary search function, and puts out a license that gives it out for free, in exchange for paying them some absurd price. EX: the joke of the first born child, but more seriously, lets say the license was "1 million dollars".

If someone stole that binary search, couple line function code, and it went to court, they absolutely would not own them 1 million dollars, even though thats what the license said.

Instead, they would owe the rights holders damages. And chances are, a couple line binary search function, or some other example that you could think of, would only be worth a small amount.

And even though the license said "This code is worth 1 million dollars, and you owe us that money if you use it!", it is not true that anyone would owe them a million dollars. Instead they would only owe them damages, which would not be anywhere close to 1 million dollars.
Infrastructure SaaS – a control plane first architecture
I just read all Zeihan's books. The only counterargument I can think of is that maybe with our interdependent world, sanctions have gotten effective enough to substitute for US military power to some extent. Zeihan himself has said China has to be reevaluating the idea of an attack on Taiwan, after seeing the sanctions and boycotts against Russia.

Sanctions haven't stopped Russia but Russia is a food and fuel exporter. Most countries are more reliant in imports for essentials. E.g. the Saudis need food imports, so maybe going to war with Iran isn't such a good idea for them, and that helps prevent the drastic Asian oil shortages Zeihan describes.

Show HN: Pragmatic Formal Modeling (Tutorial series with runnable examples)
Formal modeling is a mathematical approach for designing and checking correctness of software systems. It focuses on standard software engineering and distributed systems problems of the sort programmers face every day. It takes a pragmatic engineering approach: each problem starts with UML diagrams, design decisions and sometimes even a requirements document. We work through how to get from a whiteboard design to an initial mathematical model. Then we refine it based on logical errors found by the model checker, which return with a level of detail unheard of in a standard debugger. Formal modeling is a skill every engineer should have in their toolbox.

All the examples are downloadable, and their is a quick setup section at the start. Additionally, there is an explorable model error debugger build right into the website.

For many kids, the difference between a 'C' and an 'A' is very much "hard work and dedication." Sometimes they may not try hard, and still get an A+. Sometimes they'll work hard and still get a 'C', but hard work and grades usually correlate, wouldn't you agree?

I'm sure you're not saying that we should teach or kids that cheating on their test every now and then is a good way to be successful.

I just tried reading some of the things written by Twitter's test authors. I immediately missed the old format. For one, the old format forces succinct points. There isn't any fluff in a Twitter thread. First four paragraphs in the sample I read:

> Hello. Hi. Do you have a moment to talk about porgs?

> Yes. Porgs, the cute things seen in Star Wars Episodes VII and VIII.

> These.

> (Image of porg)

> Many people might look at this face and see an adorable CGI workaround for the puffins on Skellig Michael, aka Ahch-To. I see a cute, charming, complete menace to the galaxy’s ecology as we know it.

A Twitter thread would have started out with something like: "Porgs, the adorable CGI workaround for puffins, are a complete menace to the galaxy's ecology as we know it."

So much more direct and to the point. Sometimes, less is more.
Yes it's a cyberpunk trope, but it's also based in history. Wealthy nobles of Rome and Medieval times were landowners and, to put it bluntly, warmongers... using armies to make profit by war. They were nothing if not the corporate warlords of their times, holding shares in agriculture, land ownership and armies. Collecting shares of their workers (commonly referred to as share cropping), much like taxation. If that isn't some form of pseudo governmental function, I'm not sure what is =/

> At an engineering company management up to the board should all be engineers.

> Then, these conversations become much easier, since things that break (and a pattern of repeated failures for the same thing) should be obvious to any real engineer.

This is a fallacy that I often observe in engineers. We believe that our work is the one that brings value and all decisions should be made by people that do what we do. We also believe, that non-tech folks cannot understand what we try to explain. I also very often observe that many engineers have no idea of basic concepts that are required to run a business (and often, no interest to learn about them). Opportunity costs for example: We could pay down this tech debt, but what else could we do with the same money. We all love shining codebases over everything else, because it makes our work easier. But finance folks have other priorities - and balancing those priorities is one of the core tasks that management has. Placing only tech folks in management is unlikely to produce balanced results.
A TEU is a "Twenty-foot-equivalent" or a half-container (most containers you see are 40 footers.

But the boats that carry them are huge and slow and absolutely sitting ducks to even a small navy (the Coast Guard could sink them, and improvised equipment could trash them relatively easily).

If there was any risk of losing one of those ships to deliberate activity, all hell would break loose (the theory behind the article). Weather isn't even a major an issue anymore with modern predictions and satellites. So insurers are happy to insure at low risk odds, pennies or dollars per container.

Given that Chernobyl is located inside the Ukrainian border, “its nuclear waste” doesn’t seem like that good of an argument as to why they should have gotten rid of them, given recent events.
And apache has sunsetted a LOT of projects to it's "attic".

Except they didn't ban them they kept some weird loophole that allows disposable vapes to still be sold in any range of flavors so now people are just throwing away tons of batteries and for some reason Juul is getting banned who actually complied with the laws and took significant losses doing so. I don't think the people who are/were running juul are saints but if this is really about the kids they're really missing the target because all those teens moved onto other products.

Yeah, you need to be able to produce the lactase enzyme yourself to avoid having your gut bacteria be the ones to break down lactose (and thus produce indigestion).

On the idea that your microbiome can take a long time to recover from elimination diets:
1) From a gastrointestinal morphology perspective, we are opportunistic scavengers, so our whole biology is directed around sporadically eating just about anything.
2) I've seen several studies showing that, for the most part, our gut microbiome radically reshapes itself within a matter of days in response to major diet changes.
Even for monolingual English speakers, like myself, it only takes two or three braincells to make a guess that "libre" comes from a Romance language and probably relates to the word liberty. That gets you close enough to understand the sentiment behind the name LibreOffice.

I don't think the Libre name is a problem at all. It's just one of those things people too cynically think will be a problem for other people. The real problem for LibreOffice was losing all the brand recognition OpenOffice managed to accrue in the years before everything went to shit.

Fine, to be extremely pedantic I'm replying to the assertion "Losing weight doesn't help you stop being unhealthy" which I invented; what they really said was "Losing weight isn't causal to being healthy".
Last summer the local cable company replaced all their cables in town in order to begin offering digital cable and internet service. I was flabbergasted that they they spent all that money on linemen but still ran coax rather than fiber. As far as I can tell talking to their linemen, its not even FTTN, just FTT-central-office.

Assuming its not run by morons, which I'll accept is a bit of a stretch for a cable company, there must be some other reason to not run fiber for new installations.

People like to point at Japan and its lack of growth pointing out to various degrees how awful that is, but if you’re actually Japanese, you’re pretty much fine for these decades of zeroish growth. Not to say Japan is an idyllic place free from problems, but the economics of a zero growth society has at least that example of a distinct lack of doom. If the rest of us experience it like that, it’s not really anything to worry about unless your worries revolve around earning money from capital.

We actually do everything that remote does plus a few other things: We have local fulfillment teams that can actually do things on the ground like help with local recruiting, finding meaningful local benefits, provide local equipment like Macbooks, Airpods, even treat teams to local team building events, etc.

Our best shot at convincing companies to use us is to point to the large engineering departments that are already trusting us to expand their engineering departments in Latam.
This World Cup has the potential to have some really wild consequences if they actually enforce all these laws against average football fans.

I'm sort of assuming they look the other way and give wrist slaps out for stuff they find it hard it ignore. But at the same time half the fans will be assuming that's the case and with enough narcissists assuming the rules don't apply to them it could setup an interesting show down.

I don't see the contradiction - if someone who started programming in the pre-Internet days in a text editor, then switched to an IDE with autocomplete and searchable docs, would it be hyperbole for him to say that he finds these tools indispensable?
Here's a question for the group:
Regardless of whether you advocate for green energy or not, do you think that it's a wise strategy to create an artificial scarcity of fossil fuels to force a transition to green energy? After decades of green energy adoption, the world is still (conservatively) 84% reliant on fossil fuels. Without them, many people would freeze and/or starve, and whole economies would collapse.

Still the "minimum" unit, the sector or "block" is 512 or 4096 bytes, so the multiple/power of 2 is "ingrained" in the media.
Once again, I never said anything about this "theory", pal. Stop implying that I did. If you gotta restort to mocking, attacking others and putting words in their mouths to "win" an argument others aren't even participating, then you're already a loser from the get go. Goodbye.
Now that Twitter have decided the solution to long form content is a link off the main thread hopefully more creators will feel more comfortable to instead link to their own blog rather then to "Notes". This could be a very positive thing for creators to gain back more control over their brand and content.

Does your company culture expect immediate response? I like it because we treat it like short-form email, maybe with a slight expectation of quicker response. If I send you an email, it will have some detail and please get back to me within a few days. If I send you a slack message, I expect a sentence or two and a response today or tomorrow.

If it’s German, it’s weird. In German “Schluss” is an end.

It has different connotations from the other word for end, “das Ende”, which is more literally “the end”: “Schluss” is something like “it’s over, pack it up!”

Technically it does come from a declination of “schließen”, which mostly means “close”, so I assume that’s where the idea comes from, but in this form it does not reflect normal usage. “Lock” would be “abschließen”, but “Abschluss” as a substantive also rather means “the end of something”.

As a free standing word it’s just… weird.

If it’s Dutch maybe it makes sense, don’t know Dutch!
