I don't know how "hard" it is, but in my particular case I wanted to use this from intellij. It actually works, but the issue is that the docker emulation socket isn't where the ide expects it, and I haven't found a way to tell it where to look for.

The bailout itself isn't the main issue, it's mainly the Fed's irresponsible policies over decades.

They kept interest rates too low for too long, contributing to high inflation, then quickly jack rates to fix the problem they caused, then when banks begin to fail because of this rapid interest rate swing they fix that problem by rendering the FDIC $250k deposit insurance meaningless, furthering moral hazard, and to fix that problem they will...
That's fair, I suppose my point is there are easier ways, I don't think there's any way to technically achieve full privacy on the current design of the internet that couldn't be circumvented by operational changes. But perhaps the point is more that technologies like this are maybe used more to provide false assurance through obscurity. Although it does sound skeptical and bleak given there is no real solutions to that.
I mean no disrespect but a lot of this sounds like stereotypes of what software engineers do. Yes having free coffee and maybe even free lunch are nice perks, but those are very small compared to salary + office space cost. And RTO has shown the latter to be negligible anyways.

Stablecoins are conspicuous in their absence in patio11's post. Personally, I believe that patio11's loathing of crypto has made him incurious about its potential. But that's not the point here. The point is that stablecoins are about to become a Very Good Deal for ordinary people:

In the near future, stablecoins like USDC will become immune to bank runs because the US Dollar reserves backing them will be held in vehicles that don't loan out the reserves and hold short-duration treasuries directly with the Treasury Department.

At the same time, any person or entity with USDC in their wallet has instant, 24/7 access to global markets at their sole discretion, without intermediaries.

On Ethereum today, anyone can buy Coinbase stock, treasuries, an S&P 500 index, and real estate.

In short, the UX of stablecoins is becoming vastly superior to bank deposits because you'll be immune to bank runs, control your own money, and have instant access to global markets, including for low-risk yield on your stablecoins, such as in treasuries or over-collateralized lending.

That's completely unhelpful though. We're not talking about "in principle" or "in general". Some commenters here were accusing the article author, Howard Oakley, of using his article for advertising of his software. And you added fuel to that fire.

The "in principle" possibility is irrelevant to this submission unless you're specifically suggesting that Howard would actually do it. And that would amount to a personal accusation.
That's not the proposal, the idea with PEP 582 is python's executable will check a local directory for a venv and activate it if necessary, but only when you actually run python (not automatically in your shell).

Are housing prices in Seoul seeing the same inflation we see in many western cities? I'd be mildly surprised. (Anecdotally) It seems like Asian cultures are much less likely to treat housing as an investment and/or allow the few to dictate to the many (specifically in the housing arena).

You are welcome to sell your software. You are welcome to be replaced if you can't compete. You don't have to sell your software and we don't have to buy it. You can and will be competed with.

Trying to build a multimillion dollar venture off a UI - even a good UI - is probably unwise. It does not seem to be going well for Docker who has gone from no competitors to multiple and all of those competitors are open source.
This is essentially fanfiction, as stablecoins so far have been very opaque about what they do with their reserves. Especially Tether.

All major browsers have removed the green padlock for EV certificates. It did not improve user security behaviour. There are some arguments that it had a detrimental effect.

You can still distinguish certificate types by clicking on the small padlock icon in the URL bar. But of course no one does that.

Consequently there is no current reason to pay (in cost and time) for an EV certificate.

For someone who does not know Fortran, would you agree that the conclusion that can be drawn here is that PyTorch is good enough?

> As you can see, fastGPT is slightly faster than PyTorch when doing as fair comparison as we can (both using OpenBLAS as a backend and both using caching, the default in PyTorch). You can also see that fastGPT loads the model very quickly and runs immediately, while both PyTorch and picoGPT take a long time to both load the model and to import all the Python libraries.

One one core from your benchmarks I see that the Fortran implementation is about 4% faster than the PyTorch one. On 4 cores about 13% faster.

Excluding the IO, the main advantage seems to come not from switching the language, but from using Apple's Accelerate framework. It appears to me that this framework is now available for Tensorflow [1] and PyTorch [2] too.

Do you expect that once you port the code to GPU you will see a significant improvement over the GPU version of PyTorch ?

The one I hear about the most is service. Large, do-it-all banks don't have a lot of motivation to care about you and your $100,000 bank account & half-a-million mortgage. They've got corporate accounts to service against which yours is a mere rounding error. A smaller local bank will find you to be big, valuable customer to keep around.

This is a general economic principle. To put it into an HN context, this is why Google, Amazon, Facebook, Microsoft, and such aren't the only tech companies. When they sit down to spend a dollar, they do an analysis and put it into the place that will make $1.60 (tech companies still have absurd return ratios compared to the rest of the world even after the last year). It doesn't make any sense for them to put it where they will make $1.30. It doesn't matter how big they get or how much money they have, that analysis always holds true.

This is why Google shuts down so many things. Even being profitable isn't enough for them, it has to be wildly profitable and at scale to compete with "making ads better". It is also why it is perfectly rational to be distrustful of anything Google puts out and fear it being shut down. It is not a transient corporate culture thing, it is a systemic issue with where their profit comes from. And yet it is rational for them to float out various things as probes to see if there's some huge profit for them to tap into, even as total long shots.

Meanwhile, other smaller companies can happily survive and thrive on that $1 -> $1.30 return, and then themselves be too big to worry about a $1->$1.13 that a startup may thrive on.

There are some other reasons why One Big Company isn't actually a practical outcome, but this is one of them, and the one relevant to this discussion. It applies to tech companies. It applies to the retail industry; this is why Wal-Mart and the fancy boutique downtown import shop can still coexist, even today. It applies to the auto industry, which is why your local auto dealer may service a local business' 10-car fleet but there will be another company servicing huge fleets. And it applies to banks.

This does not mean a large bank is obligated to be negligent of you, it just mean that there's a pretty strong pressure that is hard for them to resist. Strong internal leadership may push the consumer branch to be friendly as a sort of advertising mechanism for the rest of their bank, because you never know what individual will be in charge of directing a large corporate account in the future. But they'll be vulnerable to the next MBA to come along and cut that cost and boost short term profits, and who will have moved up before the long term costs come in.
Nah, Brian seemingly put his name on it and outsourced the writing to Kevin Anderson. From the quality of story, it looks like he outsourced it to the highest bidder.

> I'd like to see Docker succeed. They invented / formalized the space and deserve credit for that.

If by succeed, you mean they deserve to have revenue, I disagree.

They spun some cool work out of dotCloud when it failed. They seemed to delay thinking about how they'd monetize the work, and sort of fell into charging for developer tooling after their orchestration play lost to kubernetes.

At this point, I think of Docker the company as a wannabe Oracle. They are desperate for money, and are hoping they can fool you into adopting their tech so they can ransom it from you once you rely on it. If that sounds appealing to you, I'd say go for it.

For me, that situation seems worse than what I do without containers at my disposal. In other words, the solution is worse overall than the problem.
That is exactly my point!
The use of the Unicode code points can actually help in disambiguating here. For regular letters, you have to be very careful about which contexts to accept roman numerals in, otherwise you'll suddenly get numbers read for words like "CD" and "IV" and for lowercase letters even words like "mix" (Older Unix users may remember the joke about upgrading from vi to xv).

And then there are cardinal vs ordinal contexts:

Mac OS X -> "ten"

Pope John X -> "the tenth"

Malcolm X -> "ex"

King's X -> "cross"

X-mas -> "christ"

X-ing -> "cross"

10 X 2 -> "by" or "times"
FUSE makes everything worse, not better. The Unix file API is awful in general, and a terrible mismatch for key-values storage systems.

Ofcourse, my experience may not represent average case, but it is certainly not "nobody". I believe that most do it because AWS/Azure is the "safe option".

Could IPFS possibly be a good distributed (and free?) storage backing for whatever replaces DockerHub for Open Source, as opposed to using something like GitHub? We'd still need a registry for mapping the image name to CID, along with users/teams/etc., but that simple database should be much cheaper to run than actually handling the actual storage of images and the bandwidth for downloading images.

Consider the relationship between a writer and an editor in a newspaper setting. The writer creates the content, while the editor reviews and refines it to ensure it aligns with the publication's standards and style. The editor's input can help improve the overall quality of the piece without taking away the writer's original ideas and skills.

In a similar manner, using AI tools like GPT-3 or GPT-4 can be likened to having an AI editor that assists you in the writing process. By working together with the AI, you can maintain your writing skills while also benefiting from the AI's ability to generate content quickly and suggest new ideas.

Just as a writer doesn't lose their skill by working with a human editor, collaborating with an AI editor can enhance your writing without diminishing your abilities. The key is to find the right balance between using AI for assistance and retaining your personal writing skills, just as a writer and editor strike a balance in their collaboration at a newspaper.

> It's sandboxed storage which lives in your filesystem

It actually barely does. Spec does not require the OPFS to be browsable in the OS's filesystem. I believe all three browsers implement OPFS as a single opaque blob on disk per origin, kind of like a zip archive.

> While browsers typically implement this by persisting the contents of the OPFS to disk somewhere, it is not intended that the contents be easily user-accessible. While the browser might make it seem that there are files, they might be stored in a database or any other data structure. You cannot expect to find the created files matched one-to-one somewhere on the hard disk.

I would guess this makes it much harder to escape the sandbox filesystem if you're not actually in the filesystem in the first place.
