I wonder if we are talking about different risks. If I may ask, in your case did you go through your savings over several years by using it for regular living expenses or by pursuing a business/investment idea?

I have seen people go from a good sized bank account to zero quickly by buying something expensive (a house, a boat, etc.) or by trying to start a business. One can always lose money on risky investments or outright gambling.

But I have never seen someone deplete a 5-year savings by downshifting for a period of time. I was talking about the second case: I do not have to worry about losing a job if I have 5+ years of living expenses. If I lose my job and have to cool heels for a year, so be it; there are still have 4+ years of cushion. My 2c.

Unfortunately, once you start getting paid, and especially if it's what you rely on to live, the joy often disappears. Not always, but it seems to be quite common.
The problem with podman at the moment (IMO) is version drift. RHEL/Fedora and friends get the latest and greatest (4), Debian/Ubuntu are stuck on 3.x. This isn't a problem with Docker, which has tight control over what is deployed. This means how you use Podman directly or indirectly via tools and plugins may change.

Right, imperative directions would be the turn by turn recipe to get from A to B. Declarative directions would be "be at B". Route planning is the solution method to convert from declarative to imperative navigation directions.

Of course, it's also a nuanced value judgement. The declarative/imperative abstraction is almost fractal, as we could consider a trip with multiple intermediate destinations as either a declarative itinerary or an imperative plan. Or we could go further and talk about all the control steps it takes to "turn right in 100 meters".

What the article describes for the father's driving is the difference between ahead-of-time and just-in-time navigation. It's not a very good metaphor for declarative versus imperative configuration management. To turn it into one would make for a perverse story, i.e. telling the father where you want to meet versus telling the father a long list of turns starting from the airport while obfuscating the destination.
That’d be a senryū. A proper haiku needs to have a kigo – a word hinting at a season – and kireji, a cut-word.

(And English is on average terser than Japanese: I read somewhere that an approximate equivalent of Japanese 5-7-5 morae is 3-5-3 English syllables, so the syllable count requirement is not absolute. Even Bashō’s famous crow haiku かれ朶に烏のとまりけり秋の暮 is 19 morae rather than 17.)

Seemed like a perfect opportunity for Apple -- they could give their customers an actually useful search engine subsidized by their hardware sales. At the same time they could starve google and bling of the user data provided by customers using search in safari or siri.

Instead they are going the other way. Sad.

I feel like if we do see VR going mainstream it’ll be something like the background screens used in filming the Mandalorian. Big wall displays / projections that adjust what they’re displaying based on viewer location. All the viewer would need to wear is 3d theater glasses.
Yeah. Honestly, I guess I cannot speak as a Thunderbird calendar user anymore, but precisely for that reason: it sucked so much compared to ubiqotuos Google Calendar, that I somehow couldn't justify using it anymore. Then I stopped using Google too, but I use desktop email client much less anyways now.

I'm not sure what really changed here. Maybe I should try and see it, but... really, I wish they'd just copied Google Calendar UI completely, making it an offline copy. Surely it's not perfect, but it was so, so much more fluent the last I tried. I mean, for me, it kinda did everything I wanted to, the only problem I ever had with it was that it's Google.

Aluminum used to be more valuable than gold. Then we discovered cheaper ways of processing the ore. Aluminum is so cheap now that people throw away aluminum cans everyday (hopefully in the recycling bin)

People rarely throw away gold like that although some does get tossed in electronic devices. If we found a way to decrease the cost of gold mining by 1000X then maybe people would throw it away like aluminum.
I think he's anchored his idea of "middle class" to a specific set of possessions, rather than to an economically reasonable definition. Specifically, he seems to be using a 1970s definition of "middle class". He gives a description that's all about having specific things like dishwashers and television. People in 1920 didn't have dishwashers, because dishwashers weren't really a commercially-available thing yet. But they were still middle class in terms of their economic relationships.

Recently I started using colima[0], a drop in replacement for Docker Desktop on Mac, and have seen an increase in performance and battery life. You can use all the normal docker and docker compose commands.
It does not have a GUI but you can use the Docker extension on VS Code to have an overview of running containers.

That’s true but there’s also a steep positive benefit in information density and fidelity.

How Potatoes Are Eaten Around the World
You're going to get a lot of responses that say record-replay testing doesn't scale, is unmaintainable, etc. They're totally right.

But the thing is, early on when your app is in flux, neither does writing Selenium code. There's a pretty big truism in UI automation that writing UI tests before a UI freeze is a recipe for a shit-ton of pain. Coding to ids or xpaths only gets you yay far if the UI flow itself fundamentally changes.

But re-recording might be easy.

Don't use stuff like this for long-standing tests. Unless you architect your app just right so that IDs are always stable, and you never change the interface, it'll break and break in ways that you can only fix by a complete re-record. Plus the tests tend to be extremely timing-fragile because recording uses delays instead of synchronization points, so they just won't work in CI.

But do use stuff like this at your desk during bring-up, when the cost of a re-record is lower than the cost of a test rewrite and it's ok to re-run the thing if the first try craps out due to a timing glitch.

And from there, keep an open mind.

I went to a GTAC (Google testing conference) where a presentation made a very good argument--with numbers and everything--that for smaller projects with simple and more or less static UIs, and where the tests were all fundamentally scripted, there was almost no advantage to coding the tests later. Record-replay was the best way to go.

But I definitely don't think a system like PlayWright fully replaces remote stubs like WebDriver and coding tests in the languages that can talk to it.

At some point you hit the issue that the login screen changed and now every single test is invalid. It's awfully nice if you used Page Object Model and you have a single-point-of-truth to fix it.

More to the point, test automation can do more than just execute a script repeatably. Randomized monkey testing is something you can really only do in code, ditto scenarios that need to talk to testing interfaces exposed from the app itself.

Glad you found a tool that resonates with you!
Can't you download the latest version of the one you own and see?
I said no such thing. Merely that there is a higher reliance on hardware features even if the workloads are virtualized - more so than on your vanilla K8s cluster in any other industry (except perhaps trading).

You don’t: “Taxable gain or loss may result from transactions including, but not limited to: [...] Exchange or trade of one digital asset for another digital asset.” [0]

You can't hack around taxable events by avoiding exchange into fiat.

The whole crypto game is dead without these exchanges.

To hold your own keys etc is just too complicated.

Crypto is just not going to hit mainstream if you cant get exchanges "banks" to stop selfimploding.

The main difference is that Playwright uses custom headless builds of "browser projects" (like chromium) rather than attempting to automate a normal consumer build of the browser via the webdriver api. The webdriver api is kind of slow, browsers don't always implement it well, and it doesn't have a good mechanism for the browser to push events back to the test application which ends up requiring selenium to do a lot of polling for changes so it can miss events that happen quickly.
The thing is non-centralized cryptos never worked as a currency.
This is a lean period, and the fat that meta had enabled them to cut fat rather than cut muscle or bone, making them now more lean, but still strong. The fat they had served its purpose similar to how fat serves its purpose during famine.

There's a beautiful difference. Unlike in 2008, today

- I can transact efficiently and safely without a bank account. This is currently not possible in traditional finance

- Subsequently, none of my assets are locked. I have never stored assets in an exchange, and have no need to do so.

- Exchanges can't ask daddy government to mint coins for a bailout.

Tl;dr: exchanges and banks who think they can get away with being overleveraged, doing unbacked derivatives trading, lending without locates etc. are in for a bitter surprise. Crypto can't be gamed so easily and it shows.
These 3 criteria seem rather narrow to define a concept as existentially loaded as ikigai. There's a related narrower Japanese word for purely work/task-related satisfaction, "yarigai", which seems closer to what you're talking about.

I’m using (as individual, so for free) Docker Desktop on my M1 Apple silicon. It works great. Could someone tell me the benefits of switching to Podman? I like that Podman is open source, though.

Edit: I’m using it for free.
That's a big assumption at this point.
I think people are too hyper focused on the price aspect of cryptocurrencies. The experiment that is Bitcoin shows that people do not need to rely on a monetary system where a cabal of rich and powerful individuals can arbitrarily modify the money supply without any regard to all the participants in that monetary system.

The genie is already out of the bottle and there is no way to put it back. There will always be those especially in the younger generations that want something better than the current system. Bitcoin shows that you can have a completely transparent monetary system based on code that is available to be audited by anyone. Bitcoin may or may not survive, but the idea behind it will.

Right, but what I mean is, not every organization out there is actually modeling their tech debt as debt. If you're using the word "tech debt" without doing calculations like "what interest am I paying on this?" or "what's my per-sprint payment if I want to fix this over the next 2 months", then you are using the phrase wrong. It's just a TODO at that point
We're a small team, and we don't have a whole marketing and web team to build stuff for us.

They're experiments! Think of this like an 0.1 of an open source project; it's gonna have bugs, it's going to have rough edges. We aren't going to pretend otherwise :D
Cypress requires developers to have a mental model of "calling a Cypress function actually adds an action to the back of a queue and immediately returns control flow without waiting for that action to run." And this is fine if you can express your waits and conditions declaratively - you give Cypress a plan, it decodes the plan from your Cypress code in milliseconds, and then will take as long as it needs to execute that plan.

And Cypress gives a great API surface where almost everything can be done with just this declarative API, and it enables them to show the full plan in a UI even while it's executing.

But if you actually need custom control flow, with code you control... you need to "pause" your action-enqueueing to let Cypress catch up. Which means you're going to be nesting callbacks, or sprinkling awaits in all the places that aren't logically awaiting, because you need an explicit yield point out of your JS block. Our team finds this rare enough that it's acceptable. But... yeah, it's far from a perfect solution.
There are other issues at play, such as the need for SR-IOV support and sometimes direct mapping of PCI lanes to some workloads. There is only so much virtualization can do when you're letting millions of sessions through.
The main benefits touted are that Podman can run rootless containers and it doesn’t need a daemon compared to Docker. However those comparisons are less relevant now than they were a while ago because Docker can now run rootless containers and Podman has developed a heap of systemd hooks that effectively use that as the daemon. It does have some good features though, like being compatible with Kubernetes manifests.

If you’re happy with portainer and Docker I wouldn’t bother migrating.

I guess it's opinion, but these are both "soft" checks, in my eyes. To me, "prevent" means it's not possible. These solutions are external checks, rather than "it literally can't work". In our case, it literally could not be allowed to work.
The problem is, if these exchanges collapse, the value of that crypto you have will drop significantly. So yes, you still have your crypto assets, but there is a real chance they could end up being worthless.

Even if you don't use exchanges, you are still exposed to their failure because they are major players in the market that determines the value of the cryptocurrencies. When major players in a market go bust, it's unlikely that any of the other market participants will end up unscathed.

Given that crypto value is based solely on what other people are willing to pay for it, it really could go to zero. It probably won't go all the way to zero, but I'd still expect a significant drop.
Exactly how it works… but you left out the US Army part this time? You kind of need that to give it value. Nothing else will. USD.
Biggest benefit is that it's open source and free - for business use Docker Desktop is a paid service
Good effing riddance.
Oh man I wish I had the balls to do it.
Can I use this to manage sudo containers? It's slightly amusing to see the desktop creates a podman daemon, so maybe you could create a sudo podman daemon for use with the desktop somehow?

What other currencies are there in todays world other than fiat (government's currency back by nothing)? I was trying to think of something other than crypto and really came up blank.

Sure some corporations have things like CompanyX dollars that they could give out to employees who then redeem them for something. But in these situations those dollars are back by nothing.

Count down the number of people in each country, send that amount to the government contracted to only be spent only on reducing national debt.

Four months is not that great depending on where you work and your tenure, I previously worked in Financial Services and there were three rounds of redundancy in my 10 years, luckily/unluckily I was never selected. The offer at the time was 6 weeks salary per year rounded up to the nearest full year and paid for your contracted notice period, capped at max two years salary. There were plenty of people that hit that two year cap and plenty more that took home more than a years salary.
And still a price/earnings ratio over 70, and no dividend in sight.

What exactly to people imagine they're buying when they plunk down money for shares in this company?
I hope so. Crypto scams hurt real people who put real money into this thing. Whatever "financial engineering" happened to vaporize X billion surely did more harm, and to many more people, than the average felony theft.

There are so many laws, so many jurisdictions involved, and so much complexity and ambiguity that it seems basically certain laws were broken. So, we have broken laws and injured parties - seems correct to pursue criminal charges.
I don't think there is a proper signal, but I used to signal my intention of continuous travel to oncoming traffic by pointing straight ahead. My city, in it's infinite wisdom, decided that bike traffic was supposed to go straight through an intersection while all motor vehicles had to turn onto the main street. The road markings were only for motor vehicles, while far less noticable road signs were for bikes. It got interesting at times, since some motorists assumed everyone had to turn.

The city has since resolved that with a clearly marked bike lane. (Though it's fun watching vehicles as large as semi's try to fit into the bike lane, thinking it gives them the right to go straight through.)
Owning coins that can't be exchanged for anything is kind of a pointless endeavor, is it not?

You can rephrase my statement to be

"Why would this synthetic entity made up of individuals go to bat for these execs that are liabilities?" I'm not sure that it makes the answer clearer.

It's hard to imagine a company w/o the transparency along the chain of command required to detect and prohibit and executive from getting hush-money rubber stamped. At least not one that actually makes money and isn't robbed blind by its middle-management.

On a side note, I've more than once gotten the trademark HN pedantry about "Companies not being people, but made up of them" and it never surprises me that people feel the need to remind me of it. When someone says "Company X made decision Y", it is short-hand for "The people responsible at Company X made decision Y". This is commonly accepted English.

I don't think companies are mysterious creatures able to sort right from wrong, I think they are made up of individuals who can sort right from wrong.
