I honestly can't relate very much. I can understand how it would help to be able to see the full breadth of what information there is to go along with containers, but A. I find Docker Desktop to be kind of annoying B. I actually feel like the CLI tool is well organized enough that it is not a problem to quickly grok what information I need using easy-to-remember commands.

That said, Podman Desktop[1] does most of this stuff and it's free. Maybe it isn't as polished (Docker has definitely put a lot of engineering into the filesystem stuff on macOS for example) but to me it looks similarly nice to Docker Desktop. So if you are working as an individual and don't want to deal with licensing restrictions, there is a reasonable alternative at least.

At one job I had, certain departments billed by minute.

Your ticket updates were expected to be to the exact minute, and there was a counter at the top to tell you how close you were to your 8 hours.

Many starting out would end up needing 10-12h to make that 8.
It did not disappoint :)
> they kind of just "did things" without any well defined process

That's called making it up. While it may have worked for that organization, I assure you it falls it a heap 99.9% of the time large software is developed that way.
I dunno, if you “echo foo > /dev/null” then “cat /dev/null” you won’t get foo back. Plenty of assumptions about filesystem behaviour don’t work in all cases.

That being said, I’d prefer if the symlink actually worked and sent the packet.
This article very nicely illustrates how much of politics is built on bullshit.

It completely destroys the argument that a Cuban cable is “a threat to national security”.

A recommended read, both for the rebuttal as the technical details.
If my memory serves me correctly you can control the mapped caching attributes using file flags, like O_SYNC, etc. Might also be architecture dependent. If you want to manipulate a memory-mapped device then you don't want caching, but if you want to see memory the same way a typical application does, then you want to keep the caching attributes in your mapping. It's a low-level tool, so there is no right or wrong really.
I like the phrase, "Good open licenses don't need a morals clause".

By and large we are all adults here. Some people may play D&D with sexuality or kink or racism or massive slaughter campaigns on a scale that rivals any battle sim.

They're adults. They are allowed to do that, even if you or I personally find it distasteful.

Other people may want to do such things. Hasbro and WoTC shouldn't have the ability to unilaterally rug pull their users because they're worried about getting a stain on the carpet.

This whole thing was botched from the beginning. They should have phrased it as, "This is what we are thinking, please provide any feedback..." to the community. They would have still been eviscerated but people would say, "At least they started with talking it over and with the goal of making sure everyone was happy with the changes first. Could you imagine what it would be like if they just walked in and tried to dominate the community into submission because of some stupid copyright paperwork? God, they could have killed their brand!"
Ultra high coupon bonds are the new workaround. The debt limit is on the par value or face value of the debt. If you have a ridiculously high coupon, meaning interest payment, people will pay far above the face value.
that's like saying VHS vs betamax is subjective. VHS won but wasn't better. Or Minidiscs vs CD's. It's mostly due to marketing fails and people hopping onto marketing bandwagons and pre-estalbished products.

TS is more popular due to combination of google dropping the ball in defining the standards and getting others onboard with them cause they overestimated the leverage they have, failure at marketing it and how everyone is already bought into Javascript.

Hard to say about Adobe CC.

For one thing the subscription model enables truly cloud-based products where you are paying for hardware as well as software, such as the new version of Lightroom. (I say "yuck!" I want to like Lightroom Classic but boy I find it is slow when it comes to Sony fully frame RAW files.)

Back in the day you spent a few thousand dollars for a particular version of the creative suite. Today you pay the same kind of money every few years but you always have the latest version. In the time that it has been "CC" there have been some major developments in the product such as the Flash editor being renamed to Animate and being retooled to output video, content for an HTML 5 player, etc.

I appreciate the steady stream of improvements made to Photoshop and Illustrator although I hate that it is always popping up windows to advertise itself just when I feel stressed about getting started on some project that's late.
Presumably they use it internally. IIRC there are drivers for VirtIO devices in modern MacOS, implying they use KVM/QEMU for something.
I don't get the tiling. Cells are 7x7 dual (?) Pixels yet they can be divided by 2,3 and 6?

How does that work out?
Unlike paper dollars sold to 'federal reserve' at pennies per sheet, coin dollars are sold at face value.
Since we refuse to slow down deficit spending, we can simply coin dollars to pay the bills and thus avoid interest costs on deficit spending.

> for the same reason you shouldn't use Perl (it is very hard to read code)

I slightly disagree with this take on Perl. Agreed that it is easy to write code which is hard for others to read, and agreed that it is often not a good idea in a large-team setting, for that reason.

But there is a lot of code that doesn't fall in that category, and Perl, by its nature (and by CPAN), can be remarkably good at just "getting stuff done" for oneself. All the wild syntax can really help in expressing a concept succinctly.

I wouldn't say the same about Forth, though.
What would the alternative be? Handle them when the last reference to the promise disappears?

Seems that could hide more bugs when someone keeps a reference to a big set of promises for some other reason - keeping a reference to something shouldn't change that things behaviour.

I think I agree with this. But it’s fun to think about wild scenarios where it would make sense.

I'd imagine most of that is out of annoyance of dealing with pirate version or just them finally being able to afford it as it is now part of their job.

I feel like easiest way to monetize apps like that would be free noncommercial license. Want to DJ your school party ? Go ahead, as long as nobody pays you it's fine, and if someone does, well, now you have money for license.

You're also building potential user base, when everyone can play with your software without limits many will pick it when they will do something commercial
Neither did I for 10 years until I discovered the concept. Then I started making use of it and liked it. Same for everybody else around me, they either already knew of profiles and used them, or started using them once they learned about them.

Thing is, they used them in Chrome, because that's where it was easy and obvious to do. And since Firefox does not have an equivalently easy and obvious workflow, they keep using Chrome, and teach others as well to use Chrome. Reason why the drop in numbers happen.
That appears to be what they were already doing though. Which is why they turned on the monitoring software.
It's also used when you load into the recovery partition, IIRC. It may be redundant nowadays, but it's a nice redundancy to have for sure.

This discussion is spiralling. It feels like you attack tiny parts of my comments while ignoring the broader point, and I don't really know if you're commenting in good faith.

You're telling me people in power in 1923 knew that human oil consumption was causing climate change that would be detrimental to human life? If you asked Congress today many wouldn't agree with you, and I'm sure some of them sincerely believe there's no problem. Do you think voters knew back then? If this was common knowledge, why did Exxon have to suppress anything?

From the OP:

> Exxon knew of the dangers of global heating from at least the 1970s, with other oil industry bodies knowing of the risk even earlier, from around the 1950s. They forcefully and successfully mobilized against the science to stymie any action to reduce fossil fuel use.

My original argument was that this is evil and every individual in charge of suppressing this information and continuing to advocate for fossil fuel use deserves punishment. Do you agree? Because throughout this conversation what I've understood from your comments is that you think they did nothing wrong because people consume oil.
Isn't that was a DMCA take down notice is for?
This is technically possible. The treasury authorize a payment, even though it doesn’t have the money in it’s general account, then it’s up to the federal reserve to decide if it wants to approve the payment.

The binary format that Blinkenlights executes is x86_64. The binary format that it generates for the purposes of JIT is x86_64 or aarch64. I'd like to add WASM to the list of JITable formats if it's possible. Currently, only about ~10 lines of handwritten assembly needed to be written per target architecture. Blink also needs a way to generate functions calls, plus an instruction length decoder. I currently know very little about WASM, but if someone else does, I'm hoping I've made it relatively straightforward to contribute JIT support.
I concur. It just reduces friction and overhead.

However license management and compliance might be easier if you go with apps from an app store like Apple/MS/Steam/etc..
Thank you for commenting this. I feel like I'm taking crazy pills reading some of the other comments on this post, e.g. "I think we need to get nontechnical people OUT of our process"

There are so many engineers out there that are basically coddled children who get paid handsomely to sit in a chair and write code, and have no concept of where their handsome pay comes from.

Thankfully, this era is coming to an end and companies will be/are already taking a hard look at who is driving business value and who is not.
I find myself spending most of my time writing tests for my website. It's grueling and I hate it, but it's basically akin to eating my vegetables, as I would be completely lost without them.

It's a good way to do it! The less obvious it is that there is a remaining check hidden, the better. Some games would become impossible to win, but only halfway through or worse. Sometimes with multiple layers hidden in different places that fail at different moment.

I cracked an expensive FPGA simulation program (for which I had the license, but the FlexLM scheme based on the MAC address of the adapter was just too annoying to get working on Linux).

What they would do is have a sort of unit test of their license verification function at runtime. There was a check hidden somewhere that I never found, and if the license verification was changed to always return true, the unit test would fail. The simulator would continue working within a single module, but as soon as you tried simulating a larger project, it would return undefined values between all the modules, rendering the simulation unusable for any real project =)

(I solved the unit test by having the license check return true only for my hardcoded serial number, which is definitely easier than hunting for the different places where a check might be hidden)
Wow, I've heard of ridiculous job performance metrics like "hours in chair" and "lines of code" but "sufficient keyboard/mouse intensity" is a new one to me! So I need to wiggle the mouse frantically and mash the keyboard all day and I'm "working"? Holy cow, that's wild!

Seems like for every advantage you list there's also a disadvantage.

> Even like, a bic light is so much better quality than a flint and steel or fire sticks.

And is part of the disposable society creating immense amounts of waste.

> Smart phones are fantastic quality computers that enable cool stuff like meeting up with friends without first having to leave a note at their house some amount of time beforehand

Smartphones reduce the quality of social interaction. People often check them when they should be paying attention to their friend, and they make cancelling last-minute easier thereby making people more flaky.

> Dishwashers and laundry machines and modern quality clothing let you avoid spending half your waking hours cleaning stuff, keeping us healthier, and enabling feminism

It's hard to argue with you there, though I suspect that all these "time-saving" inventions also make it more likely that we will spend more time on other things like more work and on electronic devices.

> Electricity lets us stay awake at night without smoke inhalation from candles and fireplaces, with less likelihood of burning the house down, and advanced tech in housing standards make sure that when the building does catch fire, you'll be able to get out safely

And electricity has also made it easier to stay awake at night, staying up later and reducing the quality of sleep. Hundreds of people get worse sleep by being exposed to devices at night. I think it's actually nice to wind down activities when the sun goes down though obviously that is not as easy in the latitudes closer to the pole.

Basically, I think there are a lot of hidden dangers that people accept because in the short term they don't realize that technology makes life less fulfilling.
> Most players understandably dislike DRMs, and of course there’s no perfect solution against piracy, but we’re hopeful that this approach will be non-intrusive enough for both players and devs to solve this core business problem.

I take an ideological stance against DRM, and will not buy any product with it.
I spend a lot of money on games – they're arguably my main hobby – and predominantly buy things on gog.com and itch.io that are DRM free.

Not interested, I'm afraid.

That is where we disagree fundamentally. I do posit that the communication is actually absolutely and unequivocally worse.

I do not like the 'give us your charge card and we will bill you'. As it requires me to remember to cancel.

I see subscriptions as more of a scam as companies expect people to forget. Or have a hard time canceling. I recall one company where you first had to go online and try to cancel to be given a phone number to dial. They tried to convince you to stay, then ask you a dozen questions about why. Finally they give you another number to call, customer care (LOL customer retention), who then makes all kinds of offers to get you to stay. Why would I intentionally sign up for that abuse?

If a company really wants more subscribers? Make the effort to cancel near zero. Or even Zero. If a company AUTO cancel, when a person does not use the service for a month. Then at least the company would get my respect, but likely also my money, if the service is something I want.
I guess it had a better camera.
I watched it and skimmed the paper. I did not see any claim that people are hypochondriacs, nor any evidence for it.
> However, if that were true, then it would also apply equally to other humans. The way our brains are wired might overestimate other people based on how they communicate?

We know human does that, we judge others depending on what words they use etc. That is why conversational interviews doesn't work, we are way too biased by things that doesn't communicate understanding so it is easy to bullshit many humans into believing you are competent even when you aren't.
It definitely is nuanced and everyone has their limits, which may depend on their personal circumstance. The solution for companies it to find a solution. An easy enough solution at a price point most people find reasonable. There are some people where the convenience or price point will never be good enough, but those are edge cases. As mentioned by someone else in a different way, you don't want to alienate your majority of happy current users to try to scoop up the handful who will probably just write off your product completely rather than pay.

For instance, current Netflix pricing I am okay with, with the content they have. If the price triples, you bet your ass I am going back to torrents unless they really step up the quality and quantity of content.
I interpreted it as "this is the amount of work that should be accomplished in a week" rather than a piecework system. Basically figure out what 40 hours worth of work looks like and if that's getting done, it shouldn't be a big deal if documents aren't being opened and closed often enough.

Sounds like she should have set something up to open and close documents automatically if none have been accessed for a certain period of time.
