IMO, shipping OCI images doesn't tether your backend to Docker anymore than shipping IDE configurations in your Git repository tether you to an IDE. You could tightly couple some feature to Docker, but the truth is that most of Docker's interface bits are actually pretty standard and therefore things you could find anywhere. The only real reason why Docker can't be "done" the way it is on Linux elsewhere is actually because of the unusual stable syscall interface that Linux provides; it allows the userlands ran by container runtimes to run directly against the kernel without caring too much about the userland being incompatible with the kernel. This doesn't hold for macOS, other BSDs, or Windows (though Windows does neatly abstract syscalls into system libraries, so it's not really that hard to deal with this problem on Windows, clearly.)

Therefore, if you use Docker 'idiomatically', configuring with environment variables, communicating over the network, and possibly using volumes for the filesystem, it doesn't make your actual backend code any less portable. If you want to doubly ensure this, don't actually tether your build/CI directly to Docker: You can always use a standard-ish shell script or another build system for the actual build process instead.
How about, confirmed the absence of intelligence in a species that allows and support such a system?
That's a good question. I'm completely guessing, but the Datapoint probably used 0x00 and 0xff as HALT opcodes so you ended up in uninitialized or missing memory the processor would halt. Maybe 0x01 was the "intentional" halt instruction.
LiFePO4 batteries I bought in 2017 were rated for 4000 cycles of 80% depth of discharge. Shallower discharge counted as partial cycles. Even at such a heavy use, that's almost 11 years of heavy use every single day -- after which the battery still continues to operate just fine, with slightly lower capacity.

People are afraid of actually using their batteries, and engaging in FUD about their aging. It's weird.

I know someone who has an SEO business, and AI-generated is pretty much all he's doing. He has hundreds of websites with nothing but AI-generated content and all the SEO shit and they're all top of the pop at Google.

Ever since I know him I believe more and more that many websites I find are AI, because they all look exactly the same and have the same formatting for their content: articles are short enough to be read in a few minutes but not short; articles are split into 4 or 5 subheaded sections; at least one of the subheadings begins with "which", "how" or "why": last section is often a conclusion or summary; text reads like an idiot wrote it; text absolutely doesn't give you the information you were looking for.

OpenAI, DALL-E, Stable Diffusion and all the others are already being exploited to "improve" these websites. The pictures, the videos, the text, it's all fake.

I don't think Linux is going away as the main server OS anytime soon, if ever. So that just leaves local dev

To that end- I prefer to just stick with modern languages whose first-party tooling makes them not really have to care what OS they're building/running on. That way you can work with the code and run it directly pretty much anywhere, and then if you reserve Dockerfiles for deployment (like in the OP), it'll always end up on a Linux box anyway so I wouldn't worry too much about it being Linux-specific

David letterman had a TRO because a woman claimed he was harassing her with code words over the television on his show. [0] The judge granted it "because she filled the form out properly."

This varies wildly by jurisdiction, but the burden of proof can be pretty slim and the judges in some jurisdiction have been on the record saying they grant them out of fear if something goes wrong when they haven't that they'll be held responsible.

>Also: Child support, or even alimony, is a recognition that in a marriage, the income may be produced by a single party, even if the overall roles and responsibilities were divided equally. If someone is a stay-at-home-partner, they may not be bringing in the cash income, but they are still 50% of the effort of operating that family unit as they tend to take on more responsibilities such as cooking and cleaning and child rearing which all need to be done by someone. When a marriage ends, the low-income partner cannot necessarily immediately shift into self-sufficient career mode, and obviously the child should be seeing the necessary financial support they would have, so the income of the two parents needs to be compared with where the child spends most of their time (and hence, incurs the most expenses).

This is an interesting monologue but we all know the reasoning by child support. I'm merely pointing out it's a real specter. When I'm married if I lose my job there's no court process and if I have to take a shitty one and spend way less money on the kid then we will adapt; but after a divorce you have an "imputed income" which is what the judge expects you could make. The judge also expects you're spending 20% of that imputed income towards the kid even though if when you were married it could be just 5% and the kid was fine. If I have to take up trucking and the judge says I really could be an engineer and I'm slacking then I could end up in jail. Granted most people making an effort probably aren't going to end up in jail but merely the fact you have potential debtor's prison hanging over your head at all times is a very real concern even in the event it is justified.

To point out the absurdity of child support debtor's prison as currently run, see the story of the guy arrested because he was held hostage in Iraq while working the contract job he needed to work to pay his child support... [1]. The reasoning? He did not mail the support while the captors were pointing a gun to his head. IMO any system where you can be jailed because you didn't make payments because you were taken hostage while trying to earn support for your children is just utterly fucked.

How to stop losing customers from frequent bugs
Hello,

We are a young startup with just 3 people in the team (1 sales, 1 tech + design, 1 support) and we are just over 1 year old.

Our product is slowly starting to gain customers on a weekly bases but we also seem to be loosing them from being disappointed with few things not working as expected or sudden bugs.

We are currently the only one in the market with our product, we have few unexpected bugs that keep coming up from nowhere and its a bit out of our control. But after 1 or 2 experiences, it’s hard to convince them to stay.

It’s becoming worrisome and not sure how to manage the customers because the product is quite hardcore. We are self funded, so things are taking time to build to perfection.

Any idea how to manage our position with the customers?
It seems highly foolish from a marketing perspective for the artist too.

I don't see how more people copying the artist style would not increase the value of originals.

A smart artist here should promote that their style is staying in the dataset. It is as good free publicity as they will ever get.
> throw people together in the same space and wait - people will start hooking up. No app can provide this

I would contest this. Don't (EDIT: i m talking about social network apps) apps do exactly this, on a global scale? They bring people closer at all times, have regularity, and even have silly competitions, self-promotion , and all ways for people to 'hook up' with each other.

Of course, in any physical space there is only a limited amount of people so competition is lower and possibly that s why there are more compromises. in a global contest only the olympic athletes win.

And while remote work is certainly going to be a huge factor, things have changed a whole decade before remote work became mainstream

Curious why the link to ICE.COM?
I think there's a vast gap between people who feel hopeless and worthless and occasionally vent a little bit online, and people who adopt the incel identity so thoroughly that they'll cop to it IRL. I think the latter are rare, and their perceived importance is inflated the vast numbers of the former.

My teens and twenties predated the term "incel," but I was horny, lonely, and unhappy about it, and I could identify with a lot of the online whining from men who felt the same way. I did some venting in the "woe is me" vein on Reddit. But in my real life, at least when I wasn't in a depressive episode, I was always trying to improve my situation by bettering myself and buffing my social skills. I was always thinking of ways to crack the problem. When I felt defeated and discouraged, I'd complain anonymously online, because I knew nobody in my real life wanted to hear it, and then I'd get back to work figuring out my life.

I have no evidence, but I would bet that the perception of the incel phenomenon is warped by a small number of angry people who managed to inflate their importance by expressing the frustration and humiliation of a much larger group of men who are like I was, who go online to express temporary (though possibly recurring) feelings of hopelessness. As an identity, being an incel doesn't have much to offer. It's about a desire for sex, but it doesn't offer any path to sex. I think the vast majority of horny, frustrated young men who have applied the label to themselves at one time or another probably spend much more time thinking about how to be more likable to women than they spend thinking about incel ideology. And if they get any reward at all from trying to improve themselves and their empathy towards women, that will be a better deal than they get from the incel camp.

I showed you an example where his egregious anti-crypto bias led him to say some things that have been proven false. And your response is "it was just a prank bro", and "I think we're done here"? Yeah, doesn't look like you care about evidence that challenges your beliefs. You have that in common with mr Gerard.

There is lots and lots of research into the similarities of Long Covid and other post-viral illnesses despite the fact that people only recently started reporting these symptoms:

"This study supports prior findings that ME/CFS occurs with high prevalence among those who have persistent COVID-19 symptoms."
- https://www.mdpi.com/2035-8377/15/1/1

Long Covid symptoms are not vague. If you argue this, you have not done enough research into what people are battling. A majority of Long Covid haulers suffer from PEM (Post Exertional Malaise) which is a primary symptom of ME/CFS, and even thought research on this subject has been performed for decades, We currently don't understand what causes it. There are many theories for ME/CFS which could fit well with Long Covid, including an activation of the Epstein-Barr virus which causes neuroinflammation, and if this neuroinflammation primarily centers on the brain, it explains all the symptoms that people are reporting.
My understanding is that while the risk of serious illness and death are strongly correlated with age and comorbidities that we're starting to see a meaningful number of cases of long covid in the working age population and it's not clear to me that it is limited to those who are obese.
Being inexperienced in your 30s as a man is game over. Sorry to put it bluntly but for those guys there isn't a path that leads to a relationship or real intimacy of any kind.
I agree. It's felt like a lot of online forums are starting to become Quora where it's all self-promotion thinly veiled as adding to the conversation. It reminds me of PG's The Submarine blog post (http://www.paulgraham.com/submarine.html)
Agree. Arranged marriages worked for generations. And to me it looks like a perfect mechanism to tame hormone-induced young people, who, en masse, hurt not only themselves but whole society.
How do you reliably measure actual weakness of muscles? There is a huge neurological and psychological component to strength. My level of motivation and willingness to suffer has a huge impact on the amount of force that I can exert in a strength test. If I think I'm sick then that reduces my confidence and my ability to perform to my maximum potential even if there's nothing physically wrong.

That said, I do think there is probably some mitochondrial dysfunction going on in a subset of Long Covid patients that reduces muscle strength. But we don't have a good way to measure it and don't even know what to look for.
most likely, there are a lot of men who aren't in relationships but want one.

I'd assume if I'm making a schedule for joint event with a second party, I can inform them about the ways I want to get in contact, directly - say, via email. Third party, which helps scheduling - that is, reminding and showing the calendar in advance - doesn't really need to know anything about me, except that I reserved some time slot in the calendar. Granted, that third party would not be able to facilitate the contact itself, but that's the price for keeping PII, well, private.

I think the risks of lying in a hospital, strapped to a ventilator were a lot higher with Covid than with getting the shot. To be honest I would recommend the shot even if just to prevent potential month-long loss of smell, as I experienced it (I think that symptom is less prevalent with recent variants though, but I could be mistaken)

A weird thing about this is that I think I've had more sex, and met more new partners, in periods when I was unemployed or underemployed. When I've been really poor I've been depressed, which cuts my chances of meeting a new partner to about zero. But when I've been extremely employed I think I haven't had the time or emotional bandwidth for intimate relationships. Or travel: travelers get an automatic +4 bonus to sexiness, but it's really hard to travel when you have a job.

Even when my apartment has looked like something out of Hoarders I think it's cost me, at most, one nascent sexual relationship, and I think that was actually because she didn't enjoy our sex, not because of the apartment. (I'll probably never know.) By the time a new lover has decided to come home with me, they generally already have a strong interest in making love with me. So I think worrying about whether your apartment is nice enough might be analogous to worrying about whether your penis is big enough: it's a factor, but it usually comes into play too late to make a big difference, and in only a small minority of cases is it so bad as to actually matter.

As for financial independence, here in Buenos Aires you can always go to a telo. If you do that twice a month you are spending, say, $10000 a month (US$26) which is not an insignificant expenditure but is tiny compared to renting your own apartment. Other Latin American countries call them "motels", and in Japan they're "rabu hoteru".

Nice shirt? You can get an all-cotton button-down dress shirt for like US$40 if women won't look twice at you because you're wearing a T-shirt. This is not a significant issue for Japanese hikikomori. Also, though, the vast majority of women aren't that picky, if you're attractive in other ways.

Bad economy? Japan and Switzerland have much better economies than Brazil, Nigeria, and Haiti, but the better economies aren't the ones where people are more easily finding sex partners.

I do agree that location is important, though. Burning Man is not the same as Cairo at all.

I'm male, for what it's worth; 46 years old; and so far all my partners have been women. I think I'm way out on the right tail of the distribution when it comes to a variety of traits, including ⓐ height, ⓑ tendency to initiate conversations with strangers, ⓒ willingness to touch and be touched by new people, and ⓓ interest in and enjoyment of sex. So my experience is probably not typical.
This is exactly what I recently set up for our small team: use Docker Compose to start Postgres and Redis, and run Rails and Sidekiq natively. Everyone is pretty happy with this setup, we no longer have to manage Postgres and Redis via Homebrew and it means we're using the same versions locally and in production.

If anyone is curious about the details, I simply reused the existing `bin/dev` script set up by Rails by adding this to `Procfile.dev`:

docker: docker compose -f docker-compose.dev.yml up

The only issue is that foreman (the gem used by `bin/dev` to start multiple processes) doesn't have a way to mark one process as depending on another, so this relies on Docker starting the Postgres and Redis containers fast enough so that they're up and running for Rails and Sidekiq. In practice it means that we need to run the `docker compose` manually the first time (and I suppose every time we'll update to new versions) so that Docker downloads the images and caches them locally.
I think it's all about cashflow. Salaries are the biggest cost to cashflow and 2023 is not going to be all roses, there will be more bad news at some point. A shrewd business reduces operating costs before the storm hits.

There are however temporary files being downloaded for the apt installation, and while in this case it's simple enough to remove them in one step that's by no means always the case. Depending on which gems you decide to rely on you may e.g. also end up with a full toolchain to build extensions and the like, so knowing the mechanism is worthwhile.
I share GP's concerns, and would answer no to your question. Via negativa is a fundamentally distinct way of thinking.
Yeah the fly.io stuff is great, beautiful artwork too, top class job.

Re: security updates. It's not handled. There are companies that will scan your infrastructure to figure out what's in your containers and find out of date OS base images.

One thing I'm currently experimenting with is a product for people who would like an experience slightly closer to traditional Linux. The gist is, e.g.

include "#!gradle -q printConveyorConfig" // Import Java server
app {
deploy.to = "vm-frontend-{lhr,nyc}{1-10}.somecloud.com"
linux {
services.server {
include "/stdlib/linux/service.conf"
}
debian.control.Depends = "postgres (>= 14)"
}
}

Then you run "conveyor push" from any OS and it downloads a Linux JVM, minimizes it for your app, bundles it with your JARs, produces a DEB from that, sftps it to the server, installs it using apt, that package integrates the server with systemd for startup/shutdown and dynamic users, it healthchecks the server to ensure it starts up and it can do rolling upgrades/downgrades. And of course the same for Go or NodeJS or whatever other server frameworks you like. So the idea is that if you use a portable runtime you can develop locally on macOS or Windows and not have to deal with Linux VMs, but deployment is transparent.

SystemD can also run containers and "portable services", as well as using cgroups for isolation and sandboxing, so there's no need to use debs specifically. It just means that you can depend on stuff that will get upgraded as part of whole OS system upgrades.

We use this to maintain our own servers and it's quite nice. One of the things that always bugged me about Linux is that deploying servers to it always looks like either "sftp a tarball and then wire things up yourself using vim", or Docker which involves registries and daemons and isolated OS images, but there's nothing in between.

Not sure whether it's worth releasing though. Docker seems so dominant.
Thank you! Yep, I designed the visuals and the screens were a joint effort with a UI designer.
I think I agree with this. Society's laws and contracts mirror our instincts and feelings. We create laws because they encode a deep-seated feeling that most of us have about things. Not everyone agrees on every law; most of us don't want to murder, and would be sad if we did, but there are still serial killers.

We don't change our instincts just because there are laws. Look at how many people are in prison for drug possession. The law is much weaker than brain chemicals being expressed. (Also, not every law is based on wide agreement of human emotion. Sometimes lawmakers simply do whatever. I'm mostly talking about the ones that have been around since the dawn of humanity.)
Ah, that's a really good point. Having 0x00 be a NOP or maybe worse, instruction that actually is valid and does something, would be a hell of a lot worse for debugging, because after the fact it'd be extremely hard to figure out how you got there.

Yes. But it takes time. Most importantly, women lose their ability to have children earlier than men but in their early 20s many of them are busy with other things and think they have a lot of time.

They get less desirable as time goes by so when they decide to ‘get serious’ at 35 it is already getting late
Of course they rejected it. Accepting feminism didn't result in them being accepted in return. Feminists can write a million books about toxic masculinity and it won't matter because those are the men that women actually have sex with.

The sexual liberation of women is a major theme of feminism. Does that imply even so called "incels" will get some of that? No. On the contrary, they're even more marginalized now.
