I agree with the sentiment of this post. The finance required for green energy production is often over looked. After all, India has huge deserts in the north west of their country. Yes, they have some of the largest solar parks in the world, but why isn't 25% of it covered with solar panels? Financing.

Hey folks - author here, happy to answer any questions about the feature or what we're hoping to do with it.

Broadly we just want to lower barriers to containerization for all .NET developers. Jib/Ko/etc are proven patterns in this field, and we saw an opportunity to use the existing infrastructure of MSBuild to reduce the amount of concepts our users would need to know in order to be successful in their journey to the cloud. On top of that, having the feature in SDK provides some opportunities to help users adhere to conventions around container labeling (or customize container metadata entirely!) so we can make .NET containers good citizens in the container ecosystem overall.
US suffers from an additional culture problem that doesn't allow us to have nice public things. Every public restroom in NYC I can think of outside of Bryant Park ends up turning into a shithole, literally.

>In idealized concept, all participants must be free to buy and sell their goods and services to all other participants.

And who uses "free market" to mean the definition you just proposed?

>For example, if the owners of all the food production refused (on their own accord) to sell to certain groups because of their ethnicity, that wouldn't be a free market.

1. While I agree the example you gave is undesirable, the unclear whether the badness stems from "buyers can only buy from certain sellers" or something else. An easy test of this would be: if I refuse to buy widgets from Acme Co. because they also make cluster munitions, does that mean I'm violating free market principles?

2. how does exclusivity agreements play into this? Are they all against your definition of "free market"?

>So 'voluntarily ' here has the same meaning as voluntarily giving your wallet to mugger pointing a gun at you. In this analogy the gun is potential homelessness and starvation.

This is a terrible analogy because homelessness and starvation is the natural state of things, but the same can't be said of a bullet traveling towards your head at 300 m/s.
Ergodox-based keyboards might interest you. I use one myself with a Mac. And you could easily set up a specific layer to give you a numpad. There's a bit of a learning curve however: it's a split keyboard with keys arranged in an ortholinear layout. For off-the-shelf options, look into Ergodox EZ.

From my point of view, it's not about being "yucky", it's about ruining it for others. If a bathroom is provided, and you convert it to a state that it cannot reasonably be used by others, then you don't get to use the next one. If free food is provided for people and you come in and take it all to sell it elsewhere, then you don't get to partake anymore.

There is no way to provide things in a way that people cannot ruin them. And as long as people continue to ruin them (ie, we haven't yet "fixed society" as someone suggested above), we can either prevent those people from ruining them, or not provide them in the first place. I, for one, believe that "don't provide them in the first place" is not the right solution.
I implemented the synthesizer from scratch. Honestly I'm not super familair with digital synthesizer theory and for the implementation, mostly I referred to this article https://keithwhor.com/music/

The code of my implementation is at https://github.com/JNKKKK/pianochord.io/blob/master/src/libs...

I guess it't not a good choice to implement that part on my own, since there are many good libraries out there, like tone.js. I will probably deprecate my own synthesizer implementation and use tone.js.

I do full stack development and Vue, React, JS/TS is so good in VS Code, that I can live with the quirks of OmniSharp. I love how fast an light it feels (compared to VS).

I have not personally used VS Mac, but from what I've seen of it (other devs that used it), it looks like a downgrade. But devs using VS Mac all switched to Rider a few months back and never looked back.
With Oracle's strong ties with government structures, it's unlikely that it will be gone in the next 30 years.

I'd say that the cutting point is when no new project considers Oracle as a viable tool. This time has largely come already.
As a counter-example, the Affinity family of Photo, Designer, and Publisher seem to be doing pretty well as a partial commercial replacement for Abobe CC. I don't know how many Serif employs, but I'd be surprised if it were thousands. It's true that Affinity does a lot less, especially preproduction stuff, but a lot of "light" Adobe users seem happy with it.

As for grep, there are plenty of newer attempts, like ripgrep, ack, and ag, too.
Mainly what I was getting at here is that there are often repo-level files that are part of the .NET build process that are easy to forget to include in your build context/as part of the initial COPY command that most folks to do to a package restore before build to take advantage of Dockerfile layer caching. Right now as a user you have to be aware of the repo/file layouts and get your build contexts right if you build inside of a multi-stage Dockerfile.

IMO for a significant part of the user base there's no reason to have to manage that at all - .NET is capable of cross-targeting enough to not need to perform the build inside of a container. That keeps the user in the 'build context' that they are used to, and we can use all of that context to still end up at the ideal result - a correct container, with all of their app dependencies.
I suspect that if at some point you had an issue with it you would've been frustrated as hell by your inability to do anything about it and would've sworn them off forever.

It's not as awful as I would have suspected from the description, but I still don't really like it. Bar the fancy "scrollbar" timeline they give you to jump directly somewhere in the page - which does alleviate that problem I mentioned a little - it does feel exactly like infinite scrolling to me, I'm not sure where you're making the distinction between lazy loading and this. The content does physically appear later on the page, making the scrollbar jump around, which I heavily dislike. This renders the native scrollbar pretty much useless as a reference point.

The mobile preview is probably a nice touch, though.

This is my experience with IKEA. Trying to have furniture bought and shipped was so painful and expensive that it was like they didn’t want to be bothered.

I bought a set that was too big for my SUV. $2300. Still wanted $150 delivery, two week notice, and it was ultimately fulfilled by some mom and pop service.

It was like IKEA decided, “we have one prescribed user experience but if you want us to find you a guy with a van to do the pickup for you, we don’t mind.”

I wonder why more companies don’t get behind GIMP as a real alternative to Adobe. I remember Blender getting picked on all the time before it got its big sponsorships. It got a real roadmap and development was done and was greatly improved on a feature and artist experience level.
This is a great post. This part: <<This is mainly due to the NO4 being basically not connected to the the synchronous grid of Continental Europe>> and this part: <<Sweden makes a killing buying cheap power from NO4 and selling it to mainland Europe, or even straight back to southern Norway.>>

Ouch! Is this not enough to push for interconnect? Or will the electricity price increases prevent such a change?

Alternatively, why hasn't more heavy industry been built in NO4 zone? Or is it not possible due to winter weather?

I also heard that in Norway, a high percentage of electricty is generated from gravity (water dams). That would make aluminium production ideal. I have heard this is one reason why Iceland, with excelent geothermal energy sources, is also a major aluminium producer.

Except that the molecules that make up the bubble are not infinitely small.

And they’ve been hovering around that and on a trajectory of slow decrease long before this SDG thing is “suddenly everywhere”, so I doubt SDG has anything to do with it.

My question is, “Why do this now?” Print has been an increasingly-niche distribution format for many years, and anyone targeting print already has Adobe CC and will never be switching to GIMP for print work.

I haven't seen anything to indicate there will be anything cheaper than $7. But if you need a data store, and who doesn't with a service that uses Heroku, I think you'll have to pay for that as well. For example, the cheapest Postgres instance is $9/month.

There is no differentiation. "Largely discussed in this thread" and "Discussed largely in this thread" have the exact same meaning.

Edit: The only difference is the intonation as you say the words in the different sentences.

"Largely discussed in this thread" has a downward slope.

"Discussed Largely in this thread" goes up to Largely, and then downwards after.

Edit 2: Even then, it may be less intonation, than emphasis.
Well, a lot of the stuff that goes wonky when you get to ultra-small scales looks an awful lot like the type of quantization errors you get when you try to model things in a digital computer.

There is something off about the weight. Muscle is only slightly more dense than water. So 20 pounds would be about 9 litres of tissue by volume.

I am ok with startups attempting to innovate in products that meet the needs of humans beyond wealthy tech workers; sure they deserve criticism when being discriminatory or having bad societal effects, but can we really rely on the public sector to build and deploy new technology?

I’d much rather see brainpower being spent on thinking about innovation in cleanliness than on the next “open source DataDog clone”. Let’s encourage people to go after hard but important problems (but not shy away from valid criticism, of course).
I think the key here is that open source infrastructure is often built and maintained by companies, while open source products are not. It takes time and effort to make things successful and companies have resources to make things useful that motivated groups of volunteers do not.

My uniformed guess. Blender was created as a an internal product by a company using it. While not very successful, it had marked oriented approach from a start.

GIMP was always a toy for programmers, without any vision behind for how to actually make it a product that commercial users would want. It’s a big job to move a ship like that.
It's bizarre that we let Nixon start a ware against a plant as a facade for destroying Jewish and Black activist communities. The government discriminated against them first with something that shouldn't have been illegal to begin with. This is an acknowledgement of that reality.
I'm not sure what existing off-the-shelf thing you would use instead. There is some overlap with things like docker-compose, serverless.yml, helm charts, etc. But each of those things is targeting a different use case and/or level of abstraction.

So if acorn is also a different use case or level of abstraction, it can't really reuse those formats. Their set of 8 top level structures[1] seems reasonable at first glance to me.

Inventing new configuration languages to get away from yaml is a blisteringly terrible plan.

Yaml doesnt spark joy for me, but it's ok & there's lots of good tools & libraries to support it. Json & toml are basically the only other modestly well supported options out there.

This looks like a Yet Another Next Generation (YANG) variant. At least just use YANG. Even though it's vastly less supported.

For real, the amount of griping about YAML is unbelievable. It's not great but so what. It does the job. What people really are griping about usually is how much configuration/state is required. Where the spaces go, whether there's parenthesis or not is so far down the list of important factors. Metric miles behind "are there good tools & libraries?," for one.

GIMP is not competitive with Adobe Photoshop from a capabilities or user experience perspective.
