Docker is great as long as you don't use bind mounts. I use it daily for development in dev containers.

There are plenty of great games on macOS. Factorio, Civilization, League of Legends, Minecraft. But you're right that there aren't too many AAA games.
you’re right, we are living in an era of incredible technology, and there are still plenty of good films nowadays, but you’re arguing with an imaginary figure you’ve invented. pretty much all they said was that attention spans are shorter nowadays - observably true - and that modern films cater to that - which the profit motive ensures

that isn’t “maximum cynicism” or “whinging” or even an attack on modern life

why are you jumping to such an argumentative posture? is this a debate you’ve had elsewhere that infuriated you?
It’s too hard to evaluate people’s work fairly. Any system is going to ignore valuable work or weight things incorrectly. Every employee is different and focuses on different things. We aren’t just assembly line workers that can evaluated in widgets per hour. How do you compare someone that ships twice as many PRs to someone that deep dives to fix that one critical bug every week?

And having everything be extrinsically motivated is horrible for job satisfaction. It would actually be better to hide the reasons for raise/bonus as much as possible so people want to do their jobs for their own satisfaction (obviously people want to get paid too but it’s best not to have thoughts like “if I fix this bug, what’s the exact $ bonus increase I get”).
It started in the early 00s, but schools/media really started to shame boys for pursuing girls. Especially if the girls showed the slightest bit of resistance.
Some writing from Martin Fowler about the project:

In my experience, it's broken because it's theater. They've already made a top-down decision on wages, layoffs, etc. based on budget, revenue, and sales projections, but they need to pretend that the decision has some rational connection to the value provided by the individual employees, so they impose a process that produces the necessary documents to support that notion. As an IC or low-level manager, there's nothing you can put in the review that will actually change the decision because the purpose of the process isn't to inform the decision, but to justify it. You can't do anything to win or lose a review any more than Hulk Hogan can do anything to win or lose a match; you only lose by failing to put on the expected show.
Move fast, break things, bruh.
Last week I went to an urgent care clinic to get treated for strep throat. Many of the steps did not occur as you describe. Here is what happened.

1. I signed in using an automated terminal. A tablet which scanned my ID and insurance card. I sit down in the waiting room. A few minutes later a nurse comes to get me.

2. The nurse takes my temperature and swabs my throat for a rapid test which is then done in front of me. The nurse leaves the room while the test is reacting. The interaction takes about five minutes.

3. A NP came in to look at the test and my throat. The only interaction I had with the NP was when they asked me if I thought I had strep to which I replied "yes". The NP diagnosed me with strep and wrote me a script for amoxicillin in less than five minutes.

4. I left the urgent care clinic without seeing the clerk at checkout. The entire visit including waiting to see a medical professional took less than 30 minutes.

5. Ten minutes later I pick up my course of antibiotics at a pharmacy four blocks away. The price of the medicine was free with insurance and $15 dollars without.

Strep tests cost $35 dollars retail. The price to visit the clinic was $200 dollars ($165 sans the price of test). The per hour cost of medical care was $990 dollars.
Record-Breaking Egg Profits Prompt Accusation of Price Gouging

Apple pretended it came from CDs people had bought.
my devops friend says your bg can def do his job -- sr devops role -- site reliability -- whatever label -- according to him, success in the role is mostly about hard work / caring, as opposed to specific skills -- much of which you just need to pick up along the way -- whether it's cloud-specific, or company-infra-specific, etc.
Due to its size, the US has less centralization than most European countries so the proximity of production could affect prices. If you look at this image of US egg production in 2016, it seems to roughly match up with the image on the Eggspensive site: https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Hans-Windhorst/publicat...
> This is because most produce is bought within some distance of the store (ex: 100 miles).

Living in Canada, this is rarely the case (probably because it's too cold here to grow... most things.) Here in Vancouver, our strawberries comes up the coast from California; our lettuce tends to come all the way from Mexico; etc.
I think this option is still ripe for issues within a domestic abuse situation. The abuser would simply use their phone to “trust it”.

Then those people shouldn’t take on jobs that require such communication. Like, I appreciate that it’s difficult to write an empathetic email, especially after a tragedy. But if you’re in a leadership position, that’s very much your responsibility. If you can’t do it, then don’t become a leader.

ChatGPT isn’t improving anyone’s expression of empathy. It can’t; empathy requires emotion, and ChatGPT doesn’t have any.
Or there is a high barrier to entry. GP doctors in the US are both High Demand, and Low supply. But they have a very big barrier to entry, namely:

a) It's incredible hard to get into and graduate Medical School in the US

b) Medical schools have a very strict limit on the number of students, thus gating supply.

c) For only a little more work than being a GP, you can be a specialist doctor and make much more money.

Would not see this changing without a law change or something major.
Can't believe this is the story with iOS as well. I thought Apple fared better as compared to Android when it came to paid apps.
That has, historically been my issue with LGTM. It is ultimately a meaningless rubber stamp. Many people get a large PR and give it a quick scroll, type LGTM and move on. If I had it my way, every PR with over 100 LOC diff should require two PR code comments for a reviewer to approve it.
Plan A was programming.

At some point I thought I wasn't productive enough at programming (too slow). So I switched towards IT. But I realized that what I enjoyed was automating tasks, that I was good at it, but not much valued in the market I was.

I switched back to Plan A where I am successful.

The iPod came out in 2001. The iTunes Music Store came out in 2003.

And the iTunes app itself came out 9 months before the iPod.

Apple had a big marketing push “rip, mix, burn”. iTunes had excellent support for ripping CDs and burning them to CD. I used iTunes for creating CDs for years and didn’t get my first iPod until 2006.
> as it turns out, uncaring data collection machineries don't care about patients.

I'm not sure this is true. The current implementation -- maybe. But the incentives, from an outsider's perspective, seem to align?

1. Healthy patients cost less in the long term. Solving for long term issues (type 2 diabetes!) vs. the immediate issue and getting someone out the door is profit seeking.

2. Patients being alive continue to pay service fees is profit seeking.

Why would Amazon not aggressively track outcomes, measure every dimension of provider care, and ruthlessly fire / downgrade low performers to maintain the above goals?

There's plenty of value in just the block storage and compute at the large cloud providers, and these are not difficult to abstract. I know because I've done it. Yes, some of the abstractions are a bit leaky, but all those leaks are variables in our helm chart. My application code is written so that it doesn't care where it's running, nor does it need to know.

That's one of the primary driving factors behind our decision to design our application to be portable.

Airtags are such a mess. My partner has one on his keys. First it would just notify me when he left his phone in the car. No way to permanently dismiss that notification. Hmm. Then it started notifying me all the time whether he has his phone or not. I have a near constant notification that I can only "ignore" for 24 hours. Then it started beeping at random times like in a theatre.

I would gladly agree to a waver so that I stopped getting those stupid notifications. I have no stalking concerns for myself. I'm at home almost all day and that is a secret to no one.

These things are probably going in the trash soon.
Brutal, but I couldn't agree more.

Sure, by exception it's possible for one to have a deep emotional connection to a piece of art or the artist, but in general I don't think anybody is curious at all beyond it looking good/bad.

As for critique on society by means of art, we're past the age where any of it would be original or shocking. Any critique you might have we can read about on social media every day. It's the norm, nothing out of the ordinary. It's so normalized that even the threat of a total societal collapse fails to impress.

I once found myself in a modern art museum (against my will). We entered a giant empty room with 3 beach chairs in the far corner. In the next room was a wrangled and damaged piece of steel sitting on the floor. In both cases the tour guide questioned us as to what we believe the meaning of these works are.

So now you have a bunch of adults looking at garbage yet complying with the social pressure to pretend that any of this is sane or interesting. You'll fake the genuinely curious but puzzled face, comply with the minimum thinking time to signal that you did some deep soul searching, and make the random guess. Which is correct, because art is whatever it means to YOU.

We were looking at a mirror all along. Life-changing, really. As in, never again.

Reminds me of how Google keeps giving me security alerts saying that an unverified developer has access to my account. It highlights a particular Google Apps Script which I've granted access, and strongly encourages me to revoke it, because Google just doesn't know who this person is.

The person is me. I wrote the script. I granted my own account access to my own account. The account owning the script, and the account it has access to, are one and the same Google account. Yet still, constant alerts.
You don't need to participate in the copyrighted world at all. Just do your own thing, release your own work for free and wait for those beaucoup patronage bucks to come rolling in. You can do it your own way and let those terrible capitalist copyright lovers die on the vine.

You keep talking about rent as if it's a bad thing. Why? It's the basis for all savings in the economy. You can't have retirement savings without rent. You can't have health insurance without a pool of savings. The only reason that construction workers build great homes is because someone will rent them (or buy them and effectively rent them to themselves.)
And it was originally a 3rd party product that Apple acquihired, Casady & Greene's SoundJam.
I know this is sarcasm but still... is the value of art how long it takes or the artistic sense and judgement that goes into it? Or perhaps none of that matters and it is entirely preference on the part of the person appreciating it.
Eggs in my neighborhood went from $2.50/dozen to $4/dozen. I didn't even notice because that is still insanely cheap for how much food is in a dozen eggs, and I don't actually use them very often.

Finding out that a different grocery story has them for a little less money would not change my shopping habits.
My observation is that far, far less than half of people at starbucks order "normal coffee"
What we really need is a digital copy of all our purchasing receipts via the following:

An app which scans a QR code printed on receipts which leads to a direct json/table of the items purchased, location purchased, date, price paid.

NO PERSONAL DATA - just the item, store name & location, price, date, tax %.

People can CHOOSE to scan their receipt and have that data slurped into the app and uploaded to a national DB for price index.

sans QR system integrated to the sales we just need an OCR capable AI APP that you take a pic of the receipt and it parses it and tracks the prices.

An additional feature is just snapping pics of price tags into the app and it parses them, their barcodes, prices, location, etc...

Same as the Gas Price app-ish, but for any receipt as the header of every receipt has all the business information and a line item of price for purchases.

It would be great if we could require all sales to provide a QR code of every receipt which provides a json/table of the above (anon) data...

because I keep a running tally in my head for things that I buy and their prices.

At the beginning of the pandemic, juice from MINUTE MAID in half gallon was $1.34 -- currently it is $1.68 11.25% inflation increase for this sugar water alone.
It's more likely to be related to proximity to the source (farms), which in my estimation are generally located in the areas with the most green on that map.

Sort-of-unrelated aside: Patagonia is amazing. The Chilean bit slightly more so than the Argentinian side IMHO, but in any case: you'll want to go there sooner rather than later (those icebergs don't last forever, you know...).

"rip, mix, burn" was an excellent campaign.
In France (but I think german prices are more or or less the same), a coffee at Starbucks is between 3€ to 4,90€. And it’s expensive for what it is. A good coffee at any random place is between 1,50€ to 3€ depending on the size. Those prices are service and all taxes included.
Weird, it looks like Massachusetts is the only state where every store has the same price. I wonder why MA is special in this regard.

You know what's one case of a quantitative solution to a medical problem? Take a physically healthy but severely mentally ill person, and harvest their organs to transplant. It's surely gonna bring in profit and increase our GDP!

However morally abhorrent this practice may be, I do not trust Amazon to NOT do this if there aren't any laws against it, which is why I am against this acquisition. I know some people may find it debatable, but I believe healthcare should be run with a Kantian framework where every life is priceless rather than a utilitarian one.
If you're buying a DVD for your child, but only have the budget for one, would you buy Snow White, or Snow White 5: The Slushening? In most cases, the classic original is the no-brainer. The sequels to Disney movies are pale cash-grab imitations with far less cultural significance.
My employees insist on having these goals. They want them to use it as a leverage in salary negotiations.
I can provide a data point for Belgium at least. Starbucks specifically is about equally expensive in EUR, it's about 6EUR. But, you don't frequently see people walking around with Starbucks in Belgium and they aren't on every corner (rarely see them, really).

That said, Rent alone is significantly different, where the rent alone in NY can be the entire monthly salary for someone in EU. (Basing myself on data from Toronto, but I gather that NY is more expensive to rent).
I have no affiliation, but Zoombinis is a nice kids logic game throwback. They have released an IOS port for a few bucks.
Programming was (sort of) my Plan B... I declined any offers to do my Masters in Philosophy a few days after reading "How to Think Like a Computer Scientist" and applied to do a Bachelors in CS.
I dont like Amazon much but healthcare is an industry that desperately needs some smart new players bringing some new ideas.
I don't think so - see my other example of EEAAO - it's not polarizing, I've never talked to someone who didn't like it.

I understand what you're saying - choices make it either loved or hated, but most movies don't have choices that split people that extremely.
I see it more as “this result is commensurate with my experience,” the problem with it, of course, being reliant on the pilot’s experience. But otherwise we’re just talking about a “sniff test” on a number. LGTM sucks in software because software inherently is a lot more complex than a number.
He burned down 230 acres of forest after lighting a tree on fire purposefully and walking away.

Thats extreme recklessness, stupidity, against the law in the first place, and could have endangered the lives of an unknown amount of people hiking on the same trail or in the vicinity.

He took no precautions with the fire and the entire situation happened because of recklessness in the first place.

The sentence is just and appropriate. Frankly probably low considering the amount of work needed to put the fire out.
Are you sure?

I'm reminded of the headlines a few years ago about how bacon would be harder to come by and more expensive in California due to new regulations. That didn't happen. When I looked into it, it seemed like meat producers were the sole source of the news articles, which reported it as indisputable fact.

Not the person you're asking, but I just moved from Germany having lived in Berlin for two years. I noticed prices seem to vary quite a bit, even within the same supermarket chain and city, depending on the neighbourhood. I assume they run some kind of franchise model for most of the big chains. But you can get a rough idea of pricing below. Edeka would be a fairly standard chain (there are a bunch of supermarkets in Berlin from FrischeParadies on the ultra high end, to Aldi Nord and Netto on low end).

There are quite a number, but our primary mechanism for sharing ideas and information are incredibly pro-conglomerate (most large media organizations are the result of decades of mergers). Those in power heavily studied the anti-trust actions of the early 1900s and worked to prevent them from happening again and threatening their bottom line. Quite ingenious if you ask me, that's why you see dozens of people in this very thread touting why a mega corp buying a medical provider is actually a good thing.
In all honesty, that's nothing new. Remakes and the like have been the bane of movies from very early on. It still sucks, though.

But it does make movie selection a little easier -- if it's a remake, there's a 90% chance that it's going to be terrible.

> One easy way: you can telehealth for say $50 and do a rapid strep test which is like a covid test and does not require a lab to process it.

The sensitivity of rapid strep tests is already low (and the cost/risk of untreated strep quite high), to the point where standard-of-care already dictates that negative rapid results be followed up with a lab culture. Not everyone follows that in all circumstances, but it is considered standard of care.

The real-world accuracy of OTC rapid strep tests performed at home by untrained non-clinicians is even lower.

There are cases in which a strep diagnosis is warranted without all of the above, but the picture you're painting is overly optimistic in terms of cost, and measurably degrades quality of care for patients compared to the status quo.
Not op, but I'm in Berlin and a couple of days ago I went to buy some eggs and it was ten for 2.99EUR - 3.18USD.
Programming was my plan B, too.

I wanted to pursue artistic endeavors like writing or photography. But I was told from early age that there is no money in art and art is for rich people.

Somehow I got into video games and then programming to make my own video games. Programming seemed like right at the intersection of science and art. It felt like a good compromise. And now I feel truly lucky on how everything turned out.
but it's got electrolytes.
I think it's unfair to put so much blame on Rovio. Apple themselves have done a lot to discourage traditional single-purchase apps and encourage IAP and subscriptions. For example, the App Store still lacks support for free trials (outside the context of subscriptions) and upgrade pricing.

Differentiation between business models is also needlessly hard. Apps that are free with most features locked behind IAP, free with ads, and free for a limited time with subscription all look the same at first glance in the App Store and there's no way to filter on business model.

Not so much. You cannot learn Rust to any useful degree in under a week, period. It's worth learning, but it's not that easy.

Async makes it even harder, yeah.

Though a lot of what I'd use async for in Python, I'll use Rayon for in Rust, and it's... fine, really. Better than fine even; it's easy to avoid concurrency issues that way.

A Venti (large) flavored latte is $6.15 with tax at my local store in Florida (just checked). Prices in NY are usually a bit higher. Wouldn't be surprised to see it for $7+ there. I agree it's probably not most people with $10 coffees, but given the choices in NY, if it is truly a Starbucks cup, the person is likely not going there for a basic $3 coffee (which is $3.16 with tax here, and probably $4 in NYC).
I bet the government's inflation tracker is also connected to walmart links. No wonder the gov things we're at negative inflation.
Perhaps manjaro would be a better fit? Similar to arch but with a good instaler
