I got frustrated enough with Docker on macOS that I now have an Intel NUC to use as my "local development". I still use my Mac for development (and all the tools I'm familiar with and do not want to learn replacements for) while also having "fast" Docker on my desk (and even when I'm not at my desk, Docker-on-Linux over VPN annoys me less that Docker on macOS).

Feels kinda wasteful sometimes to have all this compute horsepower in my MacBook, and then offload a bunch of the workload to a few hundred bucks worth of external hardware, but I reckon it'd saved my boss the entire cost of the NUC in the first week or two.

Not the right answer for everyone, but it works for me.
It would be a shame if someone called the health department after seeing a rat in your neighbor's yard.
What you need to shepherd them toward is not the commands to run to branch and merge, but the why. Why are branches useful? When should you merge? What do you do if there are conflicts? Most of this stuff isn't book material. It's what senior developers should be teaching junior developers.

They went completely off the rails. Strange, it didn't look quite like the average cheap troll account either.

But I don't think the behavior should be taken as "an incredibly clear illustration" of anything. Just like their initial claim, it is an unverified anecdote at best, not data.

Not all cheats can be done via a mouse or keyboard. Take for example a name changer where you steal the name of a teammate to confess people. Or for changing your movement speed or setting your client to think it's actually alive when dead.

You have the anticheat hook the game to monitor the game setting the memory and then the anticheat waits for the cheat to modify a location in memory.

It's a cat and mouse game, but that's the nature of anticheats.

> Docker is just as fast as running native on Linux

Once the docker image is pulled into cache, a runc process is started, that process is placed into a specific cgroup and given various isolated namespaces, any volumes are mounted into the file system namespace, any special network mappings are created, and otherwise, yes running within Docker is as fast as running natively.
Do you have statistics behind these claims?

I worked at a POS vendor who did this kind of thing internal to the device. We had a bunch of robots (they looked like 3d printers with a stylus instead of a print head) testing the payment flows because none of the android test tools could interface with that part of the device.

It was kind of impressive, but also kind of funny because the secrets we were protecting are symmetric and printed on the card for anyone to see.

It is a lot, but not quite 1000, yet. From https://webassembly.github.io/spec/core/appendix/index-instr... I see 436 instructions including SIMD which is over half the population. If I filtered it correctly, it looks like there are about 203 instructions in Wasm without SIMD. Many of those are not necessary for most programs.

There at least three small Wasm interpreters in Rust

3kloc https://github.com/k-nasa/wai

500loc https://github.com/rustwasm/wasm-bindgen/tree/HEAD/crates/wa...

This list has 169 Wasm instructions https://github.com/rolfrm/wasm-lisp/blob/master/instruction....

Wirth's RISC is neat, I'd love to re-do it in RISC-V (only 47 instructions in the base ISA). UM, Chifir and UXN look like Art (not pejorative), I'll definitely read the Chifir paper. They would be great systems to run on top of Wasm.

So this may well be true; certainly there are places where IT is incompetent and admin is... unhelpful. However, as someone who has been IT and who went to a school that had a... "fun" time with wifi[0], I can assure you that letting just anyone run a wifi network can have some fairly nasty fallout when they all fight over the same 3 channels and nobody can actually use wifi at all. Further, unless the students in question are actually doing a computing program that includes wireless network as part of the curriculum, it's not part of "the education they paid for", it's a service that the school should be providing (and yes, in the case of finite shared spectrum, imposing a monopoly on). If it's a computing masters program that includes networking, then yes of course the school should arrange a lab environment where the students can mess around, and the above only applies outside of that environment.

EDIT: [0] Although actually thinking about it now, I think the primary reason that policy was enforced had more to do with that letting people set up their own WAPs would undermine the 802.1x user<->IP mapping and the security folks had opinions about that. Dorm wifi was a mess because the sheer number/density of clients was awful regardless, but allowing just anyone to fight over channels would have made it even worse.
I don't keep count but over the years I'd say the number is in the several hundreds, including one-time volunteers. We do have a core set of what we call "editors", who are volunteers in charge of managing individual productions, along with a solid amount of repeat contributors who work on ebooks as they feel like it.

I think people participate because it feels good to make something of quality, and then give it away. If you're passionate about literature, then you get to read a lot of great stuff while you're doing it, too.

Not sure what makes great poker playing, but I think it's what happens on the edges of that story.

The article says he wore his opponent down little by little -- and then won a big hand. So there's that -- accruing that big lead in the first place. (Which happens in both stories)

And then at that point the logic is different -- Brunson can effectively end the game and win the tournament if he wins the next hand. Even if your odds are 50-50, since you've got more money to gamble with than your opponent, it's probably worth it to take that shot.

Also, in this story he has two pairs. The odds of your opponent having two pairs on any given hand are just 4.7539%. (And the odds of it being higher than a pair of 10s is much lower than 2%). So betting high was the right move -- despite the fact that his opponent, by an incredibly unlikely fluke, seemed to have a better hand with one card left to flip. (Which is sort of meaningless, because the fifth card counts.)

But throughout the article, it also shows Brunson following a long-standing poker principle: playing the man and not the cards. ("Brunson knew that Alto tended to get impatient after losing big.") Even getting your opponent to risk all their chips is a challenge in poker -- but Brunson knew he could make that happen. (And knew exactly how...)

I think the larger point is he won the championship two years in a row. You just don't do that without tremendous skill. But even if that doesn't convince you of poker-playing greatness: it's still a tremendous story -- that he won both championships with essentially the same crappy 10-2 hand.

"To this day, the ten-deuce is known as the 'Doyle Brunson.'"

btw if anyone has ever taken a look at a POS setup, it's a bit misleading to the uninformed

In some solutions, the readers are in fact hooked up directly to the POS system. However, the card terminal does not see unencrypted payment data. The POS is acting as a network bridge or switch, while getting limited information over network from the terminal.

In fact, I'm not sure that's even something that's allowed in large scale installations today.
The "self-driving" cars would be piggy-backing on the massive subsidies provided to driver-driving cars and infrastructure demanding them, siphoned away from public transit.
>Wind was one factor, but it did not suffer the largest outages of Texas's various electricity sources - someone in another comment shared a pretty good youtube video by Practical Engineering on this topic. And there really was a republican smear campaign against wind power following the event.

We're talking about different events. The Practical Engineers video is talking about the 2021 winter storm, and in the midst of that storm there were republican talking points about wind failure. That's a different event than the one I am talking about in my comment, which is the general unreliability of renewable energy as witnessed in the current summer where lacking wind generation _really is_ a huge factor in the threatened blackouts, but posters like the one I was responding to are still pretending like any decrying of renewable energy is fake news. Sometimes it is fake news, and sometimes its reality. It's important to recognize the difference.
> Frances nuclear plants were running to only 60% capacity due to maintanance and weather (when it gets hot nuclear plants have to shut down or reduce output significantly).

It's important to use the real deal-breaking flaws when pointing these things out. The relevant figure is availability because capacity also includes energy that could be produced but was not due to having nowhere to put it.

Availability is 70-80% in France and UK and 80-90% in the US.

But due to the long timeline of refuelling cycles you still need a full baseload backup. So nuclear needs long term storage or other uncorrelated backup more than renewables if anything.

The upside is it's easy to have two uncorrelated nuclear plants, so overprovisioning by 30% is sufficient.

That makes something that is already more expensive than solar with the same overprovisioned net capacity factor, and a green hydrogen plant with capacity sufficient to cover, and full gas backup infrastructure even more expensive though. Probably not enough to cover the costs of hydrogen storage yet or someone would be doing it (ignoring massive nuclear subsidies), but prices of batteries, solar panels, and electrolyzers are dropping rapidly. Hydrogen storage or green methane production only needs to become marginally cheaper to make it start happening even sans subsidies.
Most of Samsung's flagships also use Corning's Gorilla Glass, and I don't think it really offers the same degree of shock protection as a case. It holds up to scratches about as well as a tempered glass screen protector, but it doesn't protect the back of the device or the sides. Gorilla Glass or not, I still use a case.

Man, if you think schools under capitalism churn out "obedient wage slaves who lack critical thinking abilities", you'd be completely lost for words at what happens when lack of critical thinking is overtly baked into the system, like in the commie states. I only caught the very tail end of the abysmal, soul crushing Soviet primary school education, and by the late 80s most adults were openly contemptuous of the totalitarian BS... But it was still enough to understand that this system was based on institutionalized, merciless bullying and a methodical dismantling of independent thinking of any pupil entering it.

In a correctly configured system, the terminal itself would have to be reconfigured. That can sort of be be done via the POS, but also requires credentials from the group that configured the terminal.

The terminals really don't trust the POS systems.

However I've just read Dean Radin's Real Magic and now I'm not so sure.

It would seem, if the ANOVA studies referenced in the book are real, that there really is something unexplainable about mind over matter.

It's crazy yes. But all the studies are referenced in the book, and it sounds persuasive.
From the first article:

> Saddle Lake Cree Nation revealed on Tuesday that since 2004, there have been numerous discoveries of partial remains that were accidentally excavated while new graves were being dug in the community's cemetery

Yes. And you can go to any cemetery in the rural US and find the same. Infant morality in 1900 was 165/1000, or 16.5% [1]. Young child mortality was high as well.

What those links show is that there were bodies at a church cemetery operative in the late 19th, early 20th century. This is a highly normal occurrence, and as the people putting forward the narrative have given no factual evidence on the body count, a reasonable assumption is it's quite low or even a solitary instance.

If the people with an "agenda," as you put it, are so convinced there's something there, the excavation would have happened earlier than two years. The entire Canadian government, the activists, and the journalists who pushed this narrative have nothing to lose if they're correct.

Rental real estate is bad?

Rental properties increase the supply of homes to people who don't have the credit or income to own.

Homeowners freak out at someone buying a property to rent out because they don't want poor people around.

Same as with homeless shelters, addiction treatment centers, public housing...

Anybody who lives in a neighborhood of mostly homeowners I would expect has seen it firsthand. "Muh property values!" The lower the property values, the more paranoid people get.
We have a pair of macOS servers in prod. But it's a weird edge case (we need to build iOS apps as part of the work queue, so there's no choice).

Mostly our devs run whichever of macOS or Windows is their personal preference (and in a few cases they choose Linux), and deploy to containers (or occasionally bare) Ubuntu or AWS Linux.

We occasionally get new devs bumping into the well known problems (case sensitivity, file path differences, some weird depenacncy that ends up platform-specific), but that's the kinda thing that is very easily debugged by someone who's made those mistakes before and even the greenest of new devs rarely make that same mistake twice (or at least they debug it themselves and don't admit to it).
Yes, and it’s embraced by the brand.

It's not even the toxic oligomer hypothesis that is undermined - it is only the role of amyloid beta as a primary driver of Alzheimer's pathology. This isn't even out of nowhere, there's been plenty of data finding no strong association between AB levels and pathology. Most data seems to point to AB being more of a supporting element, with tau amyloids actually being associated with toxicity and resultant functional deficits.
I don't think Swift's performance is due to start up time at all. I actually cloned the repo, and ran the benchmark and found that Swift's execution time scales drastically with the size of the input. The Swift team actually boasts about its quick start up time on the official website [1]. I ran a simple hello world benchmark to gauge Swift's start up time and got an output of 13 milliseconds.

echo 'print("hello world")' > hello.swift && swiftc hello.swift -O -o hello

"de facto homeless shelters"? wtf? Is that genuinely a concern in some places?

Cars have an edge on transit because orders of magnitude more money is spent on the road system and on the vehicles than is spent on PT. Despite that, PT tends to be faster in cities, where it's simply not possible to jam more cars in (it turns out only carrying one person per car is a truly massive capacity constraint.

Cars will probably always be better in low density areas, as it's not reasonable to serve all areas with reasonable quality of service, but in any kind of reasonable high density environment properly separated PT (ie. not lumped in with car traffic) will have huge capacity and speed advantages.
> do I want some recent college graduate with a psychology degree to be in charge of my experience? Um, no.

This strikes me as a very strange way of framing things. When you phrase it that way, I'd also reflexively say "no," but on the other hand, would I want a well-trained and compassionate professional, whose judgement I trust and who is following what the medical community has decided are best practices, to guide me through a psychedelic experience? Well yes I would, and that's not really much different than the bar I set for therapists and other medical professionals.

edit: It occurs to me that maybe your point is more that this isn't a good route to full legalization (or at least a national push towards rescheduling/decriminalization), rather than about the efficacy/prudence of psychedelic-assisted therapy. On that front, in defense of the shrinks, this is basically following the same model as cannabis, whose decriminalization has been on whole a pretty successful effort so far IMO.
If the goal is 1 unit net, then min(3x, mean(x)) has massively lower variance than x.
