Docker is more on ease of use and distribution. Convince over all major parties (Windows, MacOS, Linux). Docker Compose for building interconnected services ( it even does dns resolution for you, so you can reach your services by short names not caring on IPs).

Then it become natural for teams to share dockerfiles as way for sharing environment setups in all the same way.

Using `docker run something` requires zero to none knowledge of the OS, Networks (nat included), packages. Everything will be auto downloaded.

> Code isn't written for other people. Code is written so the end user ends up with a great product that solves their problems.

Of course it is written for other people, at least if your future self counts as another person. Or is it write-once-never-look-at-it-again code? Then yes, but that's rare.
Nobody is disputing that offering helpful feedback is helpful but that is clearly not what happened here.

None of them stood up and said "Hey, have you considered doing X instead of Y?" or "Z might be a better approach, here's my reasoning". They just took the opportunity to make it, and by extension her, into a joke. I can completely understand being upset in that case.

If you are going to criticise, at the very least be constructive. Otherwise you aren't helping anyone.

You've amplified it by quoting that specific statement; it's a lot easier to pick out from your comment than if it had remained buried in text.
But real inventions can occur in software too? Inventions that takes serious money, expertise and so on.

Some examples:

- Rust memory management

- New models in machine learning that enables amazing results

- Protocols
I don't have reverse-osmoze filters, so I get pretty much residue (lime) which I rather leave in the kettle.

Moreover I sometimes want to add extra hot water to my 0,5L cup of tea. When boiling water, I already add the extra water I'll need so I get it just-in-time (except it has already lost much heat thus why I'll try to get insulated kettle). My wife may or may not want to drink tea, but I get ready water anyways (yeah, this could be organized better)
Hmm, well I guess that platforms would indeed be much less of a problem in a draconian antitrust system regularly shutting down the biggest ones (in a way forums are walled gardens with intrinsic limits to growth - the software on which they operate isn't closed though !), but in our world these aspect tend to strengthen each other...

Also, this is like with dictatorships : yes, you can get lucky with an enlightened despot, but even those don't last long, and it becomes difficult to deal with a too entrenched power once it turns ugly.

Kafka wrote fiction. And was mentally unwell. I do like his writing, actually, but his books are not proof of anything.
Someone did figure it out, 4 decades ago. The answer was to stop burning fossil fuels.

The people who got rich and powerful from fossil fuels didn't like this answer.

We could have just phased them out over 4 decades, but instead we spent 4 decades undermining politics, society, capitalism, expertise and starting a few wars to maintain the status quo.

Luckily, they didn't stop all progress and we now have great, cheap alternatives for basically all use cases that previously required burning fossil fuels.

Now we just have to roll them out.

We're still being delayed by people who benefit from that delay, but it's at least possible they've not doomed us all. Which is nice.
> it will end up being "echo chambers".

The more I use social media in its various forms, the more I think that for most people this would be feature. As much as people claim to want to be shown diverse viewpoints, what really makes them happy is constant confirmation of their own existing views. So for most (not all) people, this effect will eventually put them into an echo chamber like environment cause that's where they feel most comfortable.

Therefore, platforms that cater to this tendency will be more successful than ones that don't (provided they hit critical mass, which is a pre-requirement, otherwise there is not enough content/interactions one way or another).

Tests are the only spec I know of that stays up to date. It’s code that is executed regularly and has to change by design if specs change. That doesn’t help a ton in your case as writing tests against specific animations would be very hard to maintain.

The best I have found for stuff like you are dealing with is to put the questions I have in a team/public slack channel and make sure the docs/designs are updated when the question is answered. This will be easier with some groups than others.
Honda sells e-bike in China (https://item.jd.com/10051889312613.html), which is not as powerful due to regulation
This is sadly a good example of the problem. Try putting yourself in someone else’s shoes — has anyone ever questioned your ability to work in the field? Asked if you’re in the wrong place for a job interview? Suggested you were in a CS class by mistake or to find a husband? Thought you were in a meeting to take notes?

A ton of women in tech have reported having to deal with things like that for years. Now consider what it’s like having something you spent a lot of time on get this kind of pat dismissal suggesting the world would be better off if you’d never given it a gift. That’s harsh for anyone who doesn’t have loads of social capital and a massive ego, and even people who might seem to roll with it often have impacts you don’t know about.

This tendency to slag people’s work is deeply engrained in the field but that doesn’t mean we wouldn’t be better off changing our culture.
> Add MPI to the mix, and you can distribute that work to multiple machines. Potentially to thousands of them.

My understanding is that coarrays are a modern replacement for MPI and that coarrays abstract the notion of "machines", they bundle that under "multiple CPUs". I'm not very fluent in either of those, only know as much as the "Modern Fortran" book explains but from the examples I have seen, coarrays can do anything MPI can and they're simpler to work with.

> So, having one trick is not a bad thing here.

Definitely not. Personally, I would imagine myself using it if integration with other technologies over the network was available out of the box.

That newsgroup also has more than it's fair share of maddeningly annoying people who think anything beyond Fortran77 plus the proprietary compiler extensions of the compiler they happen to use (which inevitably is some long-dead trainwreck like MS Powerstation that nobody else has used for decades) is an affront to them and God (in order of importance).

And some people who inevitably try to derail every single thread into a discussion of Fortran IV and PL/I in the context of programming some 1970'ies IBM mainframes.

I used to be somewhat active on c.l.f, but I quit many years ago, and to be honest I haven't missed it one bit.
OpenBSD is often considered the desktop BSD. You install it and it works or it doesn't. The only real hangup tends to be configuring the sound if you want to do something different but once you get it configured that configuration is forever and solid.
Thanks for the detailed explanation. Given all the roadblocks you mentioned towards getting a legit way to play such old games, is anyone surprised that piracy is still a thing?
"The fact that he took a suicide helmet beyond a literary invention and into the real world is unsettling. It's an inability to distinguish what is wholesome from what is depraved. At the root is the artist's failure of imagination; an inability to imagine how completely revolting such a thing of fiction would be if it were real. The man spend likely hundreds of hours of thinking on it, ruminating on it, like suckling on a candy, and then, rather than being turned away, giving it shape, willing it into the world with the same zeal. That is why people find this skeevy."

I don't think you or anyone else gets to claim to know that.

I find this comment, and people who can't examine and consider a thing in abstract, can't seperate their unthinking emotion from their reason, more alarming and skeevy than the original article.

If you think I don't have the right to say you are only revolted because you lack the capacity to understand a form of rumination and are an unthinking emotional reactor, you would be correct, I don't have the right to claim to know that, and you would be a hypocrite.
It's hardly the worst thing until... You just got a new kid and instead of being able to enjoy the first 3 months of life of your kid you will spend 3 months fretting about getting a job. Or maybe you just discovered you have cancer?

It sucks, everyone's life is a little different and it will suck for them a bit more or a bit less. The change for the company is losing some productive workforce, balancing the books, showing you are losing less money per day, etc. The change for a person is getting your life completely upended.

There's a noticeable power imbalance, why does the worker take the biggest hit to their personal life while the company gets to float away barely scratched?

Yes, these are tech workers, earning a lot of money, the power imbalance is still there, the class struggle is still there. Some solidarity would help, it might happen to you in a very delicate moment of your life...

On top of that, people are also more upset because the person taking this decision to upend thousands of lives is an asshole. And I feel that workers are getting pretty fucking fed up with assholes dictating their lives.

That works for something like Minecraft Realms where one company controls it, sells licenses, and moderates things. This is more like email. It wouldn't make sense for Google to control identity for Zoho, Fastmail, Outlook, and your home email server.
Isn't there also compounding factor here due to them relying on index and rebalancing that. So selling without corresponding demand means that price will drop more than index thus meaning that funds will sell more of that stock to fix the index. Thus generating more downward pressure.
The purpose of patents, is incentive companies to share their secrets.

For example, Coca-Cola never patended their formula. So you might think: I can copy it and sell my own right? Well, yes, legally yes, if you ever found their formula, somehow. They been successful for more than a hundred years now in hiding that formula.

Thing is, software patents allowed people to actually patent ideas, concepts, stuff that is obvious and don't need sharing, for example: "ghost racer" is a patented concept, for a while any game that wanted to display to the player his past run by showing a slightly different copy of himself so he can compare, had to pay patent royalty. But the concept is obvious, it is simple, it is there, nobody used a ludicrous amount of money and time to invent it.

This is different than the patent for Michael Jackson dance moves that requires specialized devices, he patented physical objects that required time and money to make, they had a non-trivial purpose on his dance and he had to work to create them to make his dance moves possible. And now that he is gone, the awesome stage tricks he invented can keep existing, because he wrote detailed patents explaining how to repeat his feats.

I guess the "problem" is that American iPhone users will either exclude non-iPhone users altogether or default to SMS rather than switching to a cross-platform messaging app, despite the deficiencies of SMS in modern communication, e.g. poor support for group chats and sending images or videos.
It isn't "more complicated", it's downright dystopian, at least if you're from India/China. Some of the smartest students in my high school went to attend top universities in the US and continued to perform brilliantly - yet, I'd still find many of them begging for any job within 60 days lest they have to leave the country and destroy everything they've worked for for virtually their entire adult life. It degrades people of their professional worth and has pretty much turned the entire US professional immigration system into a game.

The fact that people still go for it proves that I'm wrong, that it perhaps isn't as dystopian, or that people just aren't as aware of the true reality of the situation.

I can postpone the practice part and I can visualize things easily, connecting them to my existing knowledge map.

The first allows me to read book, without having to follow examples or have the real things before me. It was handy because most of the time I did not have access to a good computer or to the internet.

The second allows me to jump around. I could start with a book in security, hit a wall, the start a book on networking, then understand what was blocking me, and then read about operating systems and really understand another part of the first book. My knowledge is the sum of fragmented parts from all the books I’ve read (a lot). I do not have direct link to it, but a word or anything else can bring the relevant context. I use that a lot in exams where the question itself will bring back the answer to memory, or at least an hint.

All of these allows me to do non-linear learning, and inside my own head. After I can do a short session of practice, cementing things I deem interesting.
You may be right. It's hard to isolate, but it's definitely near the CPU. It's not the E cores, like I thought as it does it with them disabled. I just haven't heard a similar coil whine noise before.
The idea behind them is solid... the time limits are absurd, especially for trivial stuff.

So, to solve the triviality, the patents shouldn't be worth more than it would take for a competitor to reinvent the end result - so if we're talking about a truly advanced chemical process, sure, takes time and reasearch and people and experiments... definitely worth millions. In contrast, pressing pageDown and in result moving one (full) page down (instead of moving a screen-height) should be practically worthless, since it'd take someone just a few hours to reimplement. Valuing would be hard but still better than nothing.

The other is the time limits.. especially in software, a year is a lot of time, really a lot... and 20 years is way too much.

It is possible to make a CD that has a DTS data stream on it instead of a PCM stream and most home theatre receivers will process it as a 5.1 multichannel signal if you connect the SPIDF output of a CD player to the receiver.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/5.1_Music_Disc

I have a 300 disc Sony changer that I am filling up with DTS discs.

The normal interpolation algorithm in CD players is not going to work right for a DTA stream so the quality of the stream is excellent.

This guy dumped the digital output of two identical CDs into a digital recorder and found the output was bit-by-bit identical

It's not a privilege for parents. Me leaving at 4 or 4.30 doesn't mean someone else has to work until 6PM. That's the key. My childless colleagues leave at 5 or 5.30, every day of every year. And they start later because their morning routine is different. It's true that I'm privileged, but the privilege starts with an important culture of "no one does more than 40h, period". Without that, you have no chance to have a healthy work life balance as a parent or as a non-parent.
Javascript ecosystem from 2013 to today is almost 10 years now, it's a crazy ride. Imagine folks create the whole market out of backbone.js, so much minimalism.
> I didn't want to buy just any CD drive because I want to rip these CDs as accurately as possible.

Ripping software like EAC or whipper do verify, using an online DB of rips, that your rip is 100% bitperfect. So ripping "as accurately as possible" ain't a concern: your rip is either 100% correct, bit for bit, or it's not and you should start over.

If you're on Windows use EAC while if you're on Linux, use whipper. I use whipper and it's nowadays stock on many Linux distros (Fedora, Debian, etc.).

> but then I'll finally be able to throw out all these CDs.

Well I think that legally you need to keep the CDs if you want to keep your rips (it may depend on the country but in Europe you're allowed to rip CDs you physically own).

For servers, I use FreeBSD whenever I can because of its speed and simplicity (and ZFS boot environments).

However, on a laptop and used as a graphical workstation, it can be painful. I'd love to see a hardware vendor (e.g., like System76) bring out a pre-packaged FreeBSD laptop. I think a lot of people in the *nix community would jump on that, myself included.
Because the bar for 'invention' is even lower in current software patent law than for current physical engineering patent law.

In general, the software world sees plenty of innovation, and would continue to see that innovation without patents. Besides, software is much closer to mathematics. The idea that e.g. long-division is patentable is ridiculous, but if you write "long-division, but on a computer" the only thing that prevents a patent is how glaringly obvious the prior-art is.
Does it work if it only "works" for people who consume the same product as you?
> This is pretty basic supply and demand stuff. It's hard not to conclude that a major US goal was cutting Europe off from Russian gas, and replacing that with American LNG. You can find all sorts of quotes to this effect from the US government before 2022:

It’s actually very easy to conclude that this is not the case because selling a few billion dollars worth of oil simply isn’t worth global destabilization. To the extent that this was some sort of “goal” of the US (under the Trump admin I’m guessing?) it’s a minor goal at best.

The reason Biden for example said that the pipeline was a bad idea was because Europe was placing its energy security in the hands of Russia, which as we saw turned out to be a bad idea. Note previous Russian aggression in Crimea in 2014, etc.

Similarly to “NATO expansion” being a dog whistle to anti-American sentiment the “the US wants to sell gas” is another attempt to distract from much more plain and serious truths such as Putin simply thought he’d be able to take over Ukraine and wanted to do so.
One mistake a lot of people make while writing code, slides, essays and so on, is trying to structure the ideas too soon in the process.

Throwing ideas on a paper in no particular order and in a few words will exercise the least possible the part of you that expresses idea, and keep the one that generate ideas in focus. Then after you have exhausted the muse, you can start ordering them, chaining them, then putting full sentences, sections, or code blocks, functions and classes.

So the other should be, generate as many ideas as possible, then express them, structure them, put them in shape. Then generate ideas again. Then structure again. But not at the same time.

Because expressing things needs a structure, while creativity thrive without it.
