More people died in San Francisco during the COVID pandemic due to drug overdoses than COVID, and yet SF residents supported the COVID lockdown to deal with COVID. Nothing of the sort is done to prevent more drug addicts killing themselves daily. In fact, the opposite is done.

The term "homeless" is a convenient ideological mislabeling of the problem that most homeless in San Francisco have, which is drug addiction.

Addictive drugs distributed on the street are big business. You can see it in person by walking the block long tent cities in San Francisco. (Probably walk with somebody else if you want to do this.)

Homeless addicts in San Francisco aren't all depressed philosophers that are self medicating. They are drug distribution network customers. A sort of subscription business if you will.

Cities are machines.

San Francisco is a machine that kills people by encouraging drug use by enabling illegal drug possession and street dealing in broad daylight. The SF police will not arrest for drug possession.

The supposed "compassionate" policies of San Francisco are euthanizing homeless people.

The results of this "compassion" kills more people than COVID at its peak did. Yet instead of doing anything about it, people behind these policies double down with policies to aid and abet the illegal drug business that is killing the very people they claim to be so piously advocating for.

What makes these pious advocates justify this in their minds? When people have enough money to satisfy most all of their material needs, their form of competition changes to zealous virtue signalling.

The extremely highly compensated white collar workers of FAANG companies that live in San Francisco cause these policies because they are so detached from reality, their concerns aren't the concerns of normal people, and so the political representatives they fund represent these impractical ideologies, that include things like not prosecuting shoplifters until the point it's not uncommon to be in a store like CVS or Walgreens and watch people sweep the items on a shelf into a black garbage bag and then walk out. (I've personally seen this and other bizarre theater.)
In practice plenty of things are being sold with Micro or in some cases even Mini. Bicycle headlights are an example. You could be spending $150+ and still have very few options for a USB-C headlight.

Talk to a civil engineer or architect and they can point you to the right mixes. A lot of it really depends on what sort of wear and stresses the structure will undergo.
The kind of software that truly depends on a server or some live resource that must be actively maintained and kept running can genuinely make a claim to charge a reasonable recurring fee to use said software. But for software that is essentially a standalone product which needs no upgrades, one should be able to buy the current version of the software and keep using that specific version of that software indefinitely, just as if one had bought a hammer or some other tool that will permanently belong to you, with no monthly subscription.
is cygwin still usable right now? With e.g. docker? I would have assumed WSL is way better at this point at giving a true native env.
You'd be surprised how popular the MagSafe charging puck is.

Apple will probably have Thunderbolt/USB4 on the Pro phones for fast data transfer of large video files. However, the non-Pro phones might be portless, especially if they do a small folding phone.
"Why was biopharma so much more productive in 1950" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1u6ZkAVQfPA , tldw: their model systems were much closer to reality. ie, trying 8 compounds in mice models is more likely to find you a working drug than trying 8000 compounds in well plate cell culture models, or worse just binding studies.
Yep, I use adsf and fish on MacOS installed via Homebrew. Works great.
All I can do is provide another anecdote, but I'm not sure how I'd provision servers without something like Docker. I guess there's ansible, but Docker is great since I can just put shell commands in the Dockerfile.

At work, we recently started using GitHub Codespaces for development. It uses Docker to set up the dev environment. It's been fantastic and legit has solved 99% of "works on my machine" problems.

What's causing your file-not-found issues? Surely it's not actually Docker, but rather some poorly written Dockerfiles.

Well they’ve already hit the “blockchain isn’t fit for service issue” so left it out:

That said, and while I have serious doubts about it, they are seemingly approaching with an open mind. Unlike others they aren’t just shoving“blockchain” into every part of it so they can grab VC money and run.
For charging, the spec is tiny.

For slow to medium data, USB 2.0 is baked in to so many chips that it's hard to imagine wanting anything else.

For fast data, maybe you want a new port in some situations, but does that also have to be your only charging port?
Come to Australia, AUD$150k is fairly normal for a (actual) senior developer now.

"In short, detach inputs from outputs. "

Good luck with that until you have to interview using the S.T.A.R. technique.

Can’t speak to issues with Windows and Docker, but teams I’ve worked on effectively used Docker to eliminate the “runs on my machine” problems. I’ve only used MacOS and Linux the last ten or so years and for me it works really well on both.

I’ve had one or two coworkers on Windows and they used WSL I think. Can’t comment on their experience.

The Dockerfile prescribes exactly what operating system and packages the container has. Docker Compose sets up dependencies in other containers and in most cases this was all that was required to run and test. It does require you to make some platform agnostic decisions on how you structures both but I find it easier than scripting.

Outside of that YMMV.

It sometimes comes up in these sorts of discussions that some places make people's tax returns "public" as in anyone can get them if they ask and have it made public that they asked. I don't know if I'd call that good or bad, but it's at least interesting.
One time sailing with my dad we tried to launch from a sand spit after the wind came up. Each time we tried we'd get blown back on. We then tried doing it with the sails down and paddling like mad and we made it. We found we could point about 45 degrees into the wind with the sails still down. And so we just tacked across the bay to the dock like that.

Yep. I'm curious if microsoft ever takes the reverse engineering work from Asahi linux and uses it to make a native Windows for Apple Silicon. Or just work with Apple like they did for Bootcamp and port the real Apple drivers to the windows driver model.

Apparently there's nothing stopping M1 macs from dual-booting other operating systems. As strange as it sounds, Apple laptops might make the best windows laptops you can buy today, so long as you don't need a powerful GPU. It would be like a reverse hackintosh.

I was replying to a comment asking what people found bad about Finder. I replied with some things I find bad about Finder. If the response is "yer doin' it wrong" then I don't know how to proceed: what could possibly be wrong with Finder if it’s current formulation is defined as exactly the way it should be?

I guess I could also question the proposition that Apple doesn't change things people like about Macs. I could list a few examples of them doing that, too.

I'm optimistic. But RISC-V will have to have designs that offer competitive power and area in order to take over even the low end of portable devices.
> For charging, the spec is tiny.

Have you ever looked at the horror that is USB-PD? The reason you've never seen v1 devices in the real world is because the spec was impossible to implement so they had to fix it in a v2.
Quite the contrary, I’ve found Docker to be absolutely indispensable for local dev, particularly when I’m debugging various cloud-targeted components, e.g. AWS Lambdas and Step functions. A container can nicely simulate most of the running environment of those things, and mock everything else. Docker + JetBrains IDE is a must-have for that reason

Before Docker, especially when I was working with PHP and Python, my single biggest concern was always that I'd need to use some dependency that was difficult to install on my server.

Docker fixed that.
All bets are off when you're dealing with Windows in the open source world, especially when it comes to something like Docker which was designed around the linux kernel and a unix-style perspective on systems.

Docker's core strength is that it provides your applications with process, network, and filesystem isolation on an individual host. Applications are very sensitive to their host environment and before the popularity of containerization a lot of effort was spent ensuring that host machines were provisioned in a manner that made them capable of supporting application needs. Things could often get hairy when deploying multiple applications to the same host due to conflicting lib versions, network ports, environment variables, file permissions etc. Things could also become precarious when there was a need to manage rollbacks across dependency upgrades on the host.

With docker (or a similar container solution), all of that pain is abstracted away, you don't have to think about the host machine at all, the container coddles your application so that it has a pristine working environment, conveniently configurable with environment variables.
I'm hiring, in Melbourne. Some basic details in the profile. Already claimed one senior from Auckland, suspect they doubled salary by moving.
If you don’t use windows for your daily driver, then you absolutely get into this situation. Even on NVMe, rarely is a windows 10 update (still running it here) less than an hour. Then there’s connection speed. Even on a gig line you won’t get gig speeds. And again, if you’re not on it everyday then you may have to update multiple drivers and other windows updates.
A bit off-topic, but why are proctologists despised in America? I can understand it's not an encounter you're looking forward to, but why put them in the same category as care salesmen and lawyers?

How does that work though?

No one can put a new device on the market without first getting approval from the USB-IF. It means that companies for which the only thing that matters is the fractions of a cent they can save on the production have much more control over the entire industry.

It also means that no one can put a product out that requires _anything_ beyond what the current connector can do, because step 1 is going to the IF and detailing what you are planning to do in a future product, and then wait while your competitors implement your feature and get to ship at the same time as you.

I really dislike USB-C, they have failed at a higher rate than previous USB connector styles.
How is Windows not built for development work? I’ve yet to find anything that it’s missing.
I work remote, if I want to do anything computer related outside of work then it basically *has* to be on a laptop. I just can’t commit to spending more time at my desk for personal projects / etc. An efficient/fast laptop that I can use wherever (coffee shop / GFs house / Parents) is a game changer for me. Every Windows laptop I’ve owned has required to me be tethered to a wall socket after 1-2 hours of use. These MacBooks literally last an entire weekend of moderate - heavy use. It’s truly wild and is an experience that I crave for a windows laptop.

I wonder for a place like SanFran.

There are many smaller cities, and cities without as many issues as SanFran too. So with remote, there is also the choice of "better managed city".

I wonder if it will empty, or become some apocalyptic landscape, with endless abandoned empty office buildings, and the homeless living in them, and everyone else just gone.

It seems, from the comments here, that SanFran is very poorly run. The robberies, the homeless, the filth on the street, and now, emptiness and presumably maybe budget problems soon.

For example, what if some of the older office buildings are just cut+run? Property management corp X goes bankrupt, or, just decides that it's not worth paying property tax any more.

Sure, the city can seize and sell off property for back tax reclamation, but what if no one even wants to buy? What if eventually 1/2 the office space is just owned by the city, decaying, no property tax, unmaintained?

It could become Detroit, but worse.
And stop charging 50€ for a MagSafe cable? I don't know.
> I wouldn't want to hire someone to operate heavy machinery if he did a stretch for drunk driving. Would you?

Funny enough, that comes back on a background check...if it was within 7-10yrs depending on source, if you want to pay for it, iirc. JP Morgan will go back as far as they can to seek out any sort of theft or fraud charge for ANY position. Ostensibly this is about transparency for developers, so alcoholics are pretty common in corporate jobs the higher up you go in salary.
That committee can easily hold the standard hostage unless the EU allows innovative manufacturers to prove new connectors in the real world.

I downvoted you. I found the comment interesting, and it made me curious.
It can take an unknown amount of persistent state (what's installed? how's it configured?) and replace that with a small file that's checked in to source control.

It can also help avoid issues when one person is working on multiple things that have conflicting dependencies.
5 reboots to update?

So that’s why parallels kept throwing up the password screen while updating the last beta. I guess the VM can’t autologin and I was about to give up thinking it was permanently stuck in reboot
That’s a different situation. They didn’t have an IE law: they had a specific requirement for secure transactions. At the time the US was banning export of anything over 40-bit, so they had to come up with their own standard: SEED. They produced IE and NN4 plug-ins, but NN4 died off and then inertia kept every site in the country on the national encryption standard that no other browsers supported. (Firefox does attempt to support it, but websites tend to assume IE and ActiveX regardless.)

In this case the EU has aligned with an existing industry standard, and has said that they expect the standard to develop over time.
Yes, a well run / nice project. KDE3 seems far better than anything in the KDE or Gnome world since.

As someone who just arrived in data world, I feel your pain.

You didn't even mention the data lake and the data warehouse are set for merger into the data lakehouse. Not to mention where data mesh and data fabric fit into all of this.

It's hard for me to say why this all seems so much more confusing than the software dev world. My guess is because data is a thing that a business accumulates and processes, often as a side channel to its actual work. There's an inherent meta-ness to it, and both the business and tech people have had a hand in shaping the approaches. So it's kind of a mess, and for whatever reason, even more susceptible to buzzwordery than the rest of tech.
That also enables a hostile network to downgrade from DoH.

Anyway, we're investigating what might have gone wrong. So far we can't find a difference between Chrome and Brave regarding DNS and DoH configuration and configurability. More info welcome, thanks.
It already worked before. The micro-usb charging was also an EU change because everyone was using their very special connector. (https://www.engadget.com/2009-06-29-nokia-apple-rim-and-othe...) Yet now we have USB-C.

(I don't know exactly "how" in this case)

Also it's extremely unlikely we'll need that for decades. USB-C as a connector supports absurd bandwidth and power. If you can pull 120W and drive 2x 4k displays from your phone... what would be the reason for the next upgrade? (and those are likely not the physical limits yet)

I occasionally go back to Windows. I am in hell for a while. If I had to use Windows to drive a car, I'd wreck it before the mindset would reload.
> What if the knowledge behind that device hadn't been lost and we were 1k years further along into our understanding of mathematics and computing?

I believe that knowledge is overrated on the long run. It is methods for knowledge creation what really matters. And incentives to apply the best known methods.

Had you read Bret Devereaux talking on an absence of Roman Industrial Revolution?[1] No practical steam engine before it's time has come. Knowledge is created when it is needed. I believe the same stands for computing. It must be some new demand for calculation that created computing. Probably the development of economics.

GPUs can do that. For example, Intel GPUs since Ivy Bridge have had a PPGTT (Per Process Graphics Translation Tables) to protect the memory of each process from other processes. It can also be used at a finer-grained level if there are multiple VkDevices in the same process.

You need that sort of MMU to have any sort of secure process isolation without doing expensive command buffer validation on the CPU.
Real problem is low skilled developers. Most people working in tech these days have no idea how anything works. Everyone just hacks at the problem until they get an output. There is no real engineering anymore.
Tool like docker just try to mimic what the big tech companies are doing and hope for similar outputs.

Most people who use docker don't know how much computing power and network usage they are wasting. Companies dont care as long as they can show some revenue.

I can grantee 99% of projects using docker or any sort of containerization are wasting 99% of compute resources.

Just waiting for those low skilled people to reply how wonderful docker is and to say "if its not working you are not doing it right "

I agree that among the pool of people on these apps, there are lots of matches that would work out among average-looking people. So why doesn't that happen?

It's because a lot of attraction is based on things that photos and profiles can't convey. The medium of "digital app" is just very, very wrong for optimizing dating.
