I think it's more than just multi-arch, it's also multi-OS (i.e. if we take Windows and BSD into account too we'd get 8 image types required for just 4 operating systems and 2 architectures if kept 'simple').

Packaging (including fat binaries but also byte code self-unpackers) has tried to make this possible for decades but it just won't stick. Take Debian or RedHat packages for example, there have been tools and repositories for very long times that were meant to make a universal method of distributing pre-packaged (and natively also chrootable/jailable) software for a multitude of architectures and operating systems possible, but package authors just didn't really want to do the work for what is essentially not something they wanted themselves.

Building software for 1 or 2 major release versions within a single operating system is hard enough, tacking on extra systems is usually a step too far.

The closest we got (and it still exists) is autotools, but that's just build tooling. It does however make it possible to build software from a single source for many targets and check for all the required features ahead of time. But this is so close to developing the software itself that it's not really compatible with the influx of end-user-style developers that expect pre-packaged 'commercial grade' software, which is essentially what Docker and OCI and Containers are.

The only 'new' thing so far has been cgroupsv2, the v1 version and everything else (distribution, sandboxing, capabilities, separate user land etc) has been done for over three decades. But again, using it means knowing how to use chroot, cap, tun and jail for example, and not everyone wants to learn that much. So we get things like docker, which under the hood does exactly that, plus some union filesystem magic to make it cheaper/faster for registries to store data; essentially a re-implementation of dynamic linking and shared libraries, but for files.

So now we have created an interface (docker) that is easy to adopt, easy to promote and easy to use, but it's hard-wired into Linux (the kernel) and only much later (post-OCI) got some hacked up windows version that is completely different and doesn't work anywhere else (because, well duh, not-windows isn't going to run windows apps). Aside from the fact that it's an OCI artefact, windows containers have very little to do with docker containers as we know them.

Most of this stuff also didn't really come from a need to get containers on windows (or macOS) but from the need to get more 'developer light edition' into the workforce, which can be trained and onboarded faster. If you can get people to ignore the foundation they stand on, they can be put to work in building upwards much sooner. This does of course come to bite everyone in the ass at some point, because if you're standing on top some 'magic' infrastructure and something breaks, it's going to be really hard to fix it. Right now we're all trying to make it redundant enough so we can ignore the breakage, but I doubt this is a winnable race.

Docker is a convenience, not a technical solution to a technical problem.
I thought I had it rough with a 28 band (since so many bras start at 30), I can imagine the difficulty of a 26.

Your claim: "crew rest requirement was the reason given, which actually means not enough crew" is incorrect.

Consider: when a flight is delayed for a repair (maintenance delay) does that equal "not enough aircraft"?

Carriers can't staff surplus crews any more than they can sit on spare aircraft, both which are small, very carefully computed quantities.

It is a crew rest requirement delay.

Heh, that's just one data point I've noticed among many. I've heard plenty of people "start thinking" about having children once they're in their mid 30s. Hell, it's rare for most people to get married until their late 20s/early 30s. I'm not sure what we can do about this and it's certainly nothing that should be rushed, but I feel a good segment of the population doesn't realize the downsides of waiting that long either. Everyone wants to be "ready," but the truth is you never will be.
> That isn't what a meta analysis is. I'm not trying to be cruel[...]

That's why he didn't call it a meta-analysis but instead said "It’s more of a meta analysis in my mind of all the different studies and anecdotes I’ve osmoted over the years"

It'd be one thing if he said all those things as some sort of scientific fact, but he very clearly qualified his statements as hypothetical conclusions informed by surveying literature, reading developments and other things.

By saying "I'm not trying to be cruel" you seem to be at least aware that you're being pretty censorious. It seems misplaced to me.
> The salts dark color draws in heat to melt ice? Also salt isn’t dark afaik.

Yeah, they're flat wrong on that claim. Science figured this one out long ago. You could throw white salt on white snow and it'll still cause it to start melting.

Most buy vs build decisions that go wrong with buying is because there was insufficient due diligence on the vendors, comparison to other vendors, and general ignorance of the thing being bought-or-built.

The worst outcomes I've seen are when it's SOWs that are buy-to-build. That is - paying a vendor to build something that doesn't exist yet. It's like the blind leading the blind. You have to agree to these detailed specs and project plans and contract, and then at the end of the day hope they deliver because there's so much nuance in software it's not going to hold up in court or be with your time. If you did write specs and acceptance criteria detailed enough to be bullet proof, you'd probably have been better off just writing the software instead.

My company did two of these recently, one ended up overrunning by 100% with 50% of requirements not met, never going to production and half the people on vendor side quit/fired. The other one went to production and then the vendor went bankrupt, lol.

Stainless steel not conducting heat would be an advantage for linesets - you don't really want the heat/cold to be released in the lineset... it's released in the condenser/evap coils. Those coils are already often made out of aluminum, so dissimilar metals aren't really an issue as far as I can tell...
Fun fact: People descended from these civilizations still exist, broadly called Maya peoples, although they don't really view themselves as a singular group because they all have their own cultures/languages/civilizations they came from!
I don't disagree, but I can only tell you my experience. My car (a freakin' Camaro that I drive year round) has yet to fail to start, and it's 11 years old at this point too. The radio doesn't work when it's below 10 degrees though, so that's fun.

> If you want to actively aim to have coworkers that in your own judgement are more likely to stab you in the back and more likely to be incompetent for the job at hand then you do you.

No need to be dismissive only pointing out that your valuation of people will likely cause you more grief than benefit (imo). Also, incompetent people would probably be far less likely to actually be a threat because, well, they're incompetent... It's the smart people that you write off as incompetent that stab you in the back (in my experience). Having some coined judgemental framework will definitely cause oversights eventually.
If some of them are, then maybe all of them are. But whoever was in that role prior was not, or else Daunt would not have been an improvement.

So... not all CEOs are worth paying outrageous amounts for, and the world track record on making that decision is not very encouraging.

That's not the main takeaway from Guzey, I think. The takeaway is that there appears to be deliberate misrepresentation of the facts in order to spin a narrative, which is poor form from an academic.
I think the Lightning's price might've gone up in the mean time, but when it was released it was price-competitive with an equivalent sized Tesla Powerwall installation, and you basically got the truck for free.

> Better than URLs pointing to Twitter pages, but still baffling given that the content is less than 500 characters, and even less in the case of Twitter.

The content here is almost 2,000 characters. Mastodon is just software you run yourself, even if it has a default character limit you can configure it to be whatever you want. Using Mastodon as a blog is actually kind of neat, although for my own use I'd want to customize it to have syntax highlighting for code.
Good news. B&N is the place I first saw a copy of Ubuntu.
What did the CEO do? He gave control to the workers. They got to choose what books go where and on what shelves. Most businesses can learn from this. Give control to the people who care. This is how most co-ops work and why they are special. Gaming world has Valve following a similar model.

The reason why CEOs have so much impact is because they are at the top of a tree and make all the important decisions. this isn't a consequence of the amazing (or terrible) nature of CEOs, it's just the outcome of the corporate structure.

With a little imagination, we can imagine other corporate structures...
Why are these people refusing to comply to something so unimportant? Didn't you say there are more important things to spend time on? Getting ostracized (probably an exaggeration) for refusing to comply is so unimportant and so pointless.
The value of deeply understanding “edge cases” depends a lot on the context. An edge case where my beta release mobile app doesn’t work on some outdated phone when it’s being held upside down is irrelevant. “Edge cases” on the highway lead to tens of thousands of deaths and millions of serious injuries every year, so understanding them is worthwhile, inefficient or not.

There are plenty of very specific scenarios that are easily avoidable crashes, yet constantly show up in these videos. Off the top of my head:

- Being “nice” on multilane surface streets: stopping to let someone turn across your lane (or turning when someone leaves room for you) is dangerous. The other lanes may be moving at different speeds and drivers won’t be able to see or expect someone coming across their lane from between stopped cars. There are countless videos of this scenario.

- “Thing on the highway”: in heavy but fast moving highway traffic, a foreign object on the road will be hidden by cars ahead until the last moment. Following distance helps, but paying attention to cars suddenly changing lanes a few cars ahead is also useful.

- Backing up at a light: a surprising number of stupid crashes happen when someone decides they’re too far into an intersection at a red light, and starts backing up. The driver behind them assumes they’re checking their mirror, but they’re not! I honk and flash my lights proactively based on having seen this fender bender happen in so many videos.

- Mismatched turn lanes: people are terrible at knowing which lane they’re going into in a multiple-lanes-turn-the-same-way intersection.
I do this as well - they should be unencumbered to begin with. Fortunately the most popular format is trivial to remove the DRM.
Especially when driving short distances in new cities, a route with fewest turns would be useful.
I didn't know they had been doing that before! That's intriguing.

The whole tie-in with road salt does a very poor job of explaining what is going on in the refrigeration cycle the work described - it's not totally unrelated, but the relationship is not particularly obvious.

The refrigeration cycle works by adding a salt (NaI, or sodium iodide to an ionic solvent, ethylene carbonate). This lowers the melting point of the salt below the temperature of the solvent, and the salt consequently absorbs heat from the solvent in order to overcome it energy of fusion, thus cooling the solvent. The the resulting temperature deficit relative to the environment can be transferred thermally to a cold reservoir. Subsequently, they use electro-dialysis to remove the salt from the "used" solvent, and recrystalize the salt, yielding fresh solvent and salt so the cycle can be repeated.

Relative to what happens with road salt, the salt in the refrigerator is playing the role of the road ice, and the solvent is playing the role of the liquid water with dissolved sodium chloride that forms on the ice when you salt the road. The reason that water forms is because the road salt, which is relatively dark due to impurities, absorbs solar energy melting a thin layer of water, or tire friction on the salt-ice combination does so, or because there is slushy liquid water already present.
I’m not sure what you mean but big players typically means AAA studios and they don’t create their own graphics drivers and their engines are build on top of the aforementioned systems.
Which means it's an almost useless exercise.
That may be, but pure white salt on white ice will still cause melting.

> People keep saying ChatGPT isn't that impressive because it's just "regurgitating knowledge" and has no insight into it, or things along those lines.

Really? This seems like a straw man - I've only seen gobs and gobs of examples showing all the amazing things ChatGPT can do. I have seen some measured comments from real experts helping to explain how ChatGPT works behind the scenes, and this is usually to temper sentiments when folks start going down the "It's sentient!!" route.

Other than the fact your other senses are working, the ground continues to hold you up, gravity is still at play, you're still breathing, etc. That's a ridiculous standard for empirical. MWI isn't the only interpretation, and there isn't a current experiment which can determine which if any of the interpretations are correct. This is the same problem String Theory has had. You can't just base reality on the math.

> It seems reasonable to suggest that masks reduce disease and save lives. This may be a scientifically provable fact.

When masks are worn correctly by trained people as intended (form fitted N95s used for one short task in one room and then safely discarded), there seems to be a reasonable argument that masks are somewhat effective for reducing the spread of disease.

But in the real world; the masks are the wrong types and aren't form-fitted, people are constantly adjusting them and moving them around and touching them, many people are basically walking around half the time with their nose hanging out, people wear them not only for many hours at a time but often for days/weeks at a time without being washed and breathing in their own moist bacteria colonies, etc. I'm not sure if real-world mask usage results in a significant net-positive: they could actually have a net-negative effect when you consider the amount of bacteria people are inhaling from their own mask.
> That seems like a better use of the space than having the city turn the library into a daytime homeless shelter.

I prefer it being a homeless shelter, its cold as hell in chicago right now. It would be nice for them to have some some space there.

Whenever there is a cold wave we all wonder whats happening to the ppl left out there. It would be nice for them to have one more option. give everyone else peace of mind, lol.
> My goal is not writing nix programs

That is your issue. This is a language to write "operating systems" and "packages" it is not really a "package manager".

You use different programs and libraries to work with different systems.

>I guess I should remove nix then, since it's not a package manager and that's what I'm looking for?

Yes, I think that is the flaw, it's a language, that lets you write code that produces an output.
I’m not sure where Biden comes into this. But plenty a preacher will tell you what you must believe in Catholicism.
I was hoping this would be like Hypercard (without much real hope, of course), allowing users to create their own native 'apps' with perhaps some safety limitations. That would be both dynamic and native, though any scriptable actions would be performant.
This seems like a basic thing. Something I've noticed is that people working at car dealerships mostly don't care about cars at all.

> I wonder how GPGPU will end up in the future.

Didn’t the acronym GPGPU refer to when GPUs and APIs didn’t provide general compute capability? I thought this abbreviation was mostly out of use already, since we have CUDA and compute shaders now. It seems Metal and Vulkan and DirectX and OpenGL all use the term “compute” (Microsoft does have DirectCompute and compute shaders, they’ve been around for at least a decade).

Not sure if that answers the question - all the graphics APIs provide a mechanism for compute shaders - or if you are asking more about a direct competitor for CUDA or something else?
It doesn't have to be a factory producing physical goods. Anytime we have a multi-stage process with different team members responsible for various stages with interdependencies, you will find constraints abound.

ToC tells you that while there will be multiple constraints, your biggest bang for the buck comes from identifying the limiting constraint first and finding workarounds to break / relax that. Focusing on the non-limiting constraint would not give you the best benefit.

This is such a general concept that we can apply it to so many processes whether it is sales, customer service, bug triaging/resolution, logistics etc., Any place we observe a queue (whether visible or hidden), I can guarantee that there is a lurking constraint somewhere.

I don't know how significant this is, but "not the intended target" and "civilian" could mean very different things. In particular, it seems likely that a strike targeted at a terrorist leader has a high chance of killing their aides or others in the car, who are probably members of the terror cell, even though they weren't the actual target of the strike.

The EBooks systems most libraries use is run by Overdrive, which manages the library’s digital collection, the loan periods, the accounts, etc. they do a pretty good job, and their phone apps (Libby) is quite good.

My only real complaint about Overdrive is the premise that a copy of a book can be lent out x times. It’s a concept pushed by the publisher trying to create scarcity where none exists. Overdrive can’t do anything but capitulate. I suppose I’m also bothered by the “x copies available” concept.
