> Running Docker on non-Linux platforms requires a Linux VM to run in the background. It's not as cross platform as people make out. The other container technologies can be managed via code too, that code can be shared to public sites. And you can run those containers in a VM too, if you'd want.

right, and this is something else that Docker made incredibly easy to do as well. It's almost transparent now; so much so, that you need to use nsenter to connect to the underlying VM on Mac and Windows.

> How do you account for positive externalities?

The market did by assigning them enough wealth to not have to care about any needs anymore. I’m saying there should be a cap on that since eventually they accumulate enough wealth to distort the market and harm everyone else by their existence, like a financial singularity.

The idea that you’re asking what extra brownie points you can assign to people who are so wealthy that they can buy a company as a joke and then get rid of thousands of jobs, already implies that you see zero value in human lives and are full on the lolbertarian train

My experience in getting a Tesla repair vs. getting a Honda recall repair:

Tesla: made an appointment on the app at a time that worked for me (about a week out). Drove in, parked the car, walked away in under 5 minutes. App notifies me I've got a $100 per ride Uber credit to get back to work/home. Repair is completed in about 5 hours, I get a call and notification that the work is done.

Honda: airbag recall - the dealership can't tell me when it'll be finished, offers to buy my car because "it's not safe anymore anyways", high pressure sales tactics while I wait to drop off / sign in. Repair takes two days, no loaner vehicle or drop-off shuttle. Three weeks after I pick up my car the airbag light starts flashing intermittently. I bring the car back, they tell me it'll be $2300 to "investigate" and could take a few days. If they find it was due to the recall repair work I might not be charged, but if there's any hint it was something else I'll need to pay for that repair (in addition to the investigation).

>Demographic breakdown is a lot more important than a single number

Yes, and people fixate on the pyramid when they should be focusing on the talent pool (probably because of Zeihan), in which case PRC is only starting to exploit the largest educated / skilled worker demographics divident in human history. Basically what drove JP,SKR,TW to double/triple their GDP while their TFR crashed.

>single number

That single number of 1.4B relative to PRC geography is difficult to ecologically sustain. Roughly 600M are excess people, too old and uneducated to be properly integrated in modern economy. They're the first to age/die out, which will incrementally increase PRC strategic autonomy.

>attempts at population control

PRC family planning prevented estimated 200-300M of births, which would only add to net drain. Yeah present pyramid will make transitioning from 1.4B to 1B over next century painful, though not that painful given PRC high savings rate. There's both cause for concern and celebration. But the general trend points to PRC having some of the best demographics in recorded history for improving national power which =/= human flourishing.
Altivec was just fun to work in. Much like writing PPC assembly in general, it felt like a civilized toolbox with a good set of hand tools -- you have your socket wrench of each size (byte, short, int), and you always know what to reach for -- but then it came with just a couple power tools -- vperm and vsel were basically your electric drill and impact wrench, and every once in a while you'd realize that instead of doing a perfectly good job banging out the result with your hand tools you could just finish the damn thing right now with the power tools. And when you could, you ended up code that was shorter, simpler, faster, and easier to write. So rewarding.

we are all ignorants about the reality here, so we are all guessing

but when you have to guess stuff about the crypto market, you literally have to think the worst things or the best things and you will be right

my guess here is simple, CZ has liquidated everything that can be liquidated that doesnt make him look bad, hes deep in the very same business than FTX/Sam was, he doesnt need to look the balance sheet, chances are his balance sheets are similar or worse haha

So he probally liquidated longs if any, he probally did OTCs with other tokens/assets and just kept the FTT as a PR move to pretend he was a nice guy, anyways having an amount of $ "lost" by a token that was never worth anything is still 0 lost, he most likely got those tokens in exchange for other tokens worth nothing, or during ICOs stage so pretty much hes not losing any cash even tho you will read people saying how much he lost, remember all of that is nominal value, not real cash value at the end, the very same reason things are falling now.
If the React team was impacted, I imagine, given half of the core React team is already there, Vercel would scoop up the rest of the talent if they were interested in working at Vercel.

I don't think React is going anywhere given its bigger than Meta now.

That said, React Native seems like its the development framework for all Meta applications, I imagine its still core to their business as a result, but that may have changed, I am a few years out of date on this exactly
I'm still in the phase where I pick up my phone and then don't really know what to do with it. Mobile games are mostly garbage I found. Hopefully sometime soon my brain will internalize the fact that the phone doesn't provide a torrent of hormones anymore and let me not pick it up in the first place.

One thing I'm trying is to put books in places I would previously do my doomscrolling in, coffee table by the couch for instance. Sometimes I pick up the book instead of the phone, read a page or 5 and then go do something else. Small win, yay me.

The thing I have to learn is that the phone is a tool, not a way to spend time because I don't know what else to do, at least not the default way.

My opinion here is that tech companies are generally a lot more data driven and quicker to move. So I see these layoffs as them taking the possibility of a recession seriously and being well prepared for it when it does happen.

This kind of graceful termination is preferable to sudden, forced changes caused by external events, such as a stock market crash or a company going under (e.g. Lehman going under in 2008).
Yes: I am well aware of this part of Twitter culture, as someone who has like half a million followers and a verified account on that platform. And yet, somehow, knowing a ton of people like doing it doesn't convince me that it makes any sense to allow it willy-nilly and in combination with this other feature, given the functionality of verification and the expectation that someone with a blue check next to their name is who they say they are.

The concept of being verified had meant that your display name and bio--not really your username, which could be a random string of characters; though, it was, of course, relevant--was a readable representation of who you are; so, if you can arbitrarily change that to anyone you want, it clearly doesn't do what it claims to do as people will see your new identity and your still-random username with a blue check. That changing your username would immediately lose your status and yet changing your display name and bio only does so if you abuse the privilege is non-sensical and somewhat ridiculous as it misses the entire point.

It also (but I already said this) seems fully reasonable to me that, if you want to be verified, you will simply not be able to take part in this mostly-silly and entirely-optional part of Twitter culture in exchange for having a blue badge that is supposed to ensure that people who see a username like "@MuscleNerd" knows it isn't Hank Green merely because they changed your display name to such. If you like dressing up in costumes, and you also think verified badges serve a purpose, it simply isn't unreasonable that you would need to have your costume verified to not look like someone else before into gets a blue check.

(Note: MuscleNerd isn't verified as he refuses to tell people his real name, so of course he can't do this, but I use him as an example because he is--or at least was, back years ago--both famous and has a glorious username that popped to my mind, as of course anyone working in science could have decided to go with "@MuscleNerd" as their username, so seeing the username by itself means nothing.)

Or, to be an asshole about it (as you were in your comment): "Surely, you realize that someone's username might have no correlation with their real name, and so the verification shouldn't have anything to do with the username and it's presence on a Tweet doesn't help prevent confusion. Hell: if people are expected to know someone is fake despite having a blue check just because their username is wrong, they clearly didn't need the blue checks in the first place as they already know the right username :/. If this is news to you then maybe you don't understand the issue as well as you thought."

Ask HN: Erlang and the telecom market
Hello folks, I was a telecommunications engineering student when I came across the Erlang language.
I was seduced and it looked like a good career for me.
By the description it was a niche language with a high demand on the market.
But it was 3 years ago and and I still did not find an appropriate Erlang position (I applied to all of the very few offers on the internet and it was not only the telecom offers)

> I can be true that crime is WAY down form the ~1992 peak, and that it is way up relative to 2019

Why are we talking about crime in the early 90s? The original discussion started with nonethewiser saying "Not to mention crime has been increasing..." This statement doesn't have anything to do with crime in the 90s. ceejayoz then replied that rising crime is a media narrative and brought up crime in the 90s. This is a total straw man argument. No one is asserting that crime is as bad as it was in the 90s.
I agree however the question asked was specifically about preference.
>That's not going to happen unless Apple decides to switch from ARM to RISC-V, and... why would they? They've got 15 years experience and essentially full control on ARM.

Two points here.

• First off, Apple developers are not binded to Apple. The knkwledge gained can be used elsewhere. See Rivos and Nuvia for example.

• Second, Apple reportedly has already ported many of it's secondary cores to RISC-V. It's not unreasonable that they will switch in 10 years or so.

> And a linear history makes this much easier to analyze and understand, reducing cognitive load considerably.

This, so much this! And the price you pay for it is a slightly more difficult "insert". We started to enforce linear history in one of our bigger repositories (about 100 devs) about two years back; the first months were quite the ride (I had to do plenty of support-sessions to recover 'lost' changes). But the devs really started to see the benefits, and once they got the hang of it which was actually faster than I anticipated for most, it was smooth sailing. Many actually started to embrace it and advocate it for other repositories as well.

For me, it became also evident that filtering for people capable of learning git (rebase, cherry-pick, reset etc.) was very good at finding out who I'd want to work with and who not. It's really not that big of a deal, the UX of the CLI might be lackluster but the underlying datamodel is rather straight-forward. It's such a quintessential tool in our every-day-workflow that it's really worth putting a bit of time into understanding it, and if someone can't or doesn't want to, well, it might just be better if they work somewhere else than I do.

Clock speeds are not directly comparable as measures of CPU performance between different architectures. Intel in particular focused on increasing clock speed with little regard to performance during that time period.

The G4 had a powerful (for the time) vector processor, which is relevant to media production. It was not slow when used for that purpose with software that took advantage of the vector unit. Apple's marketing cherry-picked benchmarks to claim that the G4 was much faster than Intel chips with higher clock speeds, but the reality was somewhere in the middle.
The fact that the company is still investing in the development of the metaverse, while letting go of thousands of employees, may not sit well with some... this could be just "I was wrong, part 1"
> > I got this wrong, and I take responsibility for that.

He's not taking responsibility.

Taking responsibility would look like him saying "And I'm going to personally give 1% of my shares to those who are leaving spread equally". Responsibility means being willing to sacrifice something personal to make it right (or less wrong).

Zuck owns 13.6% of 2.687B shares, at a $104 a piece that 1% share would be about $30k per exiting employee. And basically no skin off his back.

That's true responsibility and ownership.
i think a lot of previous solutions focused on the "5x" engineer that was willing to comb through manpages and dig through the source (or at least the Makefile) if something unexpected happened.

many, many, MANY engineers are not like that.

many just want to build and push their features, and that's fine.

Docker knew that LXC was onto something and focused on the latter audience; that combined with their VC funding after they hit a critical mass is why they are heralded as having "invented" containers (even though they didn't).
So many parts across the stack need to work well for this to go well. Early support for popular software is a good example. This goes from partnerships all the way down to hardware designers.

I'd argue it's not about engineering more than it is about good organizational structure.
What is your point - that the alerting agency is evil and wanted to disturb more people than necessary?
Although I agree with the premise you are making, that many Amber Alerts are regularly caused because one of the parents takes the child without authorization, it is important to remember that sexual and physical violence, including murder, is more likely to be committed by someone known to the victim rather than a stranger. The perpetrator is largely immaterial. To suppose that a child is therefore somehow in less danger because they were taken by a parent does not appear to make much difference, based on my rudimentary understanding of things. A parent who is prone to stealing a child to "get revenge" on the spouse is one who is willing to harm and abuse their own flesh and blood as part of a revenge plot.

In my own assessment, I classify that person to be dangerous. A stranger takes a child for an unknown reason. A parent takes a child, willingly harming the child physically or mentally in hopes of doing harm to a person they hate. I would assume they are willing to do far more than mere mental harm to the child, if it means "winning" the fight. I don't have any data to back that up, and it's entirely possible I'm wrong. I just don't see an Amber Alert being raised because a parent took the child to be any less serious than if a stranger took the child.

I would imagine that some number of Amber Alerts are a kind of "false positive", something like failing to drop a child off on time (out of gas, severe traffic, etc.) and their phone dying, turning into a big ordeal, but I just wouldn't discount the situation just because the suspect is a parent. Maybe that shouldn't meet the threshold, but I just personally don't see it as being a big enough nuisance to be bothered by it. Again, it is easy for me to say that though, since I don't get those sorts of alerts very often, maybe 2 to 3 times per year, if that.

I do also completely agree though, that as it relates to headphone usage it should be changed. I think that if you are listening on your headphones, it shouldn't come through your headphones at all. Just play the noise on the phone speaker - it'll probably still draw the users attention. I might be asking too much though, as there was that 911 bug [1][2] a while back.

It was particularly poignant at the time because JITed languages were looked down on by the “static compilation makes us faster” crowd. So it was a sort of “wait a minute Watson!” moment in that particular tech debate.

It's pretty impressive that Stable Diffusion can compress over 200TB of already previously compressed images from LAION 5B down to a few gigabytes! And that it can search that database so quickly to copy and paste things from the right images! /s
