> Is it though? Podman is more well liked (no daemon / non-root) and Kubernetes doesn't have direct support for it any more.

I've used "Docker" as in "containerization", since they are often used synonymously and the grandparents intent was definitely to criticize the latter. Docker itself will quite likely stay around as a name, but I have no faith in the company.
Loading code from the current working directory is not a good idea. It would make it unsafe to run a Python program from any directory that's not completely trusted, e.g. if we imagine "ls" having this feature:

[root@localhost]# cd /home/someguy
[root@localhost]# ls

Oops, now someguy can execute arbitrary code as root.

Windows used to do this with DLL files and has since had to add various modes where it's either disabled or (in the default "safe DLL search mode") deprioritized in the search order:

Yes, as far I know.

To avoid this problem, I still carry in my bag two ethernet-to-usb adapter and an Ethernet cable to be able to quickly connect two devices together.
Most everything is eventually wrapped treasuries. If the US government defaults you have far bigger worries.
This pep already partially does that.

I've noticed it sometime gets into an infinite loop in Firefox, but not chromium.... :(

but then when I "verify", then I get infinite loop again
That seems like the only reasonable way to do it. Humans are terrible at predicting the future, and preemptively implementing UBI could be disastrous. What if you implement UBI and the AI future never arrives? Or doesn't arrive for 100's of years? You just made a massive mistake because people thought they were smart enough to "know" what AGI was going to look like and how it would impact society.
I wouldn't be that surprised if a Google or a Meta user in the US adds 3x more revenue to the balance sheet than a user in the UK on average.

You’re not entirely wrong; you do need “Xcode Command Line Tools”. Thankfully, that’s a much smaller bundle than Xcode. It contains a bunch of tools for building code, such as llvm, ld, make, and git.
Yeah. If it works for more than just generating code snippets with no actual understanding, then we get to level up.
Not so much as an anti-trust blink these days.

Positive integer number of rabbits, with any luck, although I suspect in this instance imaginary rabbits may have been used. Definitely not complex ones though.

Not for the United States government, the issuer of fiat currency. They can guarantee all deposits. Money is a concept.
Every new movement has a hype cycle. It's fine. The hype will eventually die down, the useful stuff will remain, the rest will go.

I still can't find any black people to hire for some basic positions. This is a problem. Research continues to show ML models to be biased in favor of the people who create them, and against the people who were never in the room. This affects society in a huge way when that model is used for law enforcement, health care, education, etc.
Really?

How easy would it be to create a Flash product competing with Adobe's current online offerings back then it Flash existed? The simply truth is that any of Adobe's competitors could have developed an even before Adobe decided to rent their software.

To what extent would software developers depend on Apple's app store if high quality applications could be delivered through the browser?

What would happen to the 30% tax Google and Apple levy on app store sales?

Mozilla even started via Shumway then canned it because they are in Google's pocket.

Did Microsoft's Silverlight have these problems?

Why has HTML5 turned out to be such a horrible after more than a decade? It still has nothing on Flash.

I'm amazed about the kind of economic blindness that exists among "developers" which for the most part means people trying to force square pegs into round holes that characterizes web based development.
Gitlab's Open Source program has similar restrictions, and it's just kind of weird. Like, there are multiple companies actually making money off of Xen; but because Xen is owned by a non-profit foundation (with a six-digit yearly budget), and the foundation isn't trying to profit, it still qualifies. (As does, for instance, the GNOME project.)

OTOH, somewhere else in this context it was mentioned that curl is almost entirely maintained by one guy who makes money from consulting; and because of that, he wouldn't qualify.

So if you're either small enough to be a side hobby project, or large enough to have your own non-profit, you can get it for free; anywhere in between and you have to pay.

Personally I'd be happy for Xen to pay for Gitlab Ultimate, except that the price model doesn't really match an open-source project: we can't tell exactly how many people are going to show up and contribute, so how can we pay per-user?
OTOH, Docker didn't want to support a lot of features that enterprise customers wanted, like self-hosted private registries, because they wanted people using Dockerhub.

And wasn't the runtime problems because Docker was very very late to adopting CGroups v2?
Banking is an industry where it’s not difficult to break up.

(1) ensuring only $250k should ensure capital is spread

(2) the above hasn’t been happening, so people are moving to big banks because the government bails them out

(3) regulations are such that smaller banks have to go through an insane amount of work to get to a “big bank”. Basically the big players have a moat. They’ll get bigger because they control / design regulation. It helps consolidation. Smaller banks can’t enter

(4) it doesn’t help some (maybe all) of these big banks are also board members of the fed. For instance Jamie Dimon of JP Morgan [1] where they funnel support to their corporations

(5) to fix, there’s a lot of options. (a) Simple one is to limit the amount of assets a bank can hold. They currently only do that for the smaller banks (not the big ones) (b) audit the fed directed by congress (there’s a lot of inner dealing there) (c) create a graduated tax based on asset (as it increases systemic risk) (d) good old fashion anti-trust breakups

> their core offering must be the leader if they want to survive. Devs must want to use "docker run" instead of "podman run"

If their core offering is container hosting, they should be able to make a company out of that even without the client. After all jfrog and cloudsmith are more per less just that, as is github.

Just use a MM account at a bank/institution using Federal Reserve deposits. It sucks to concentrate on the large big institutions but it's the only safe move right now.

Note, the Federal reserve has now insane liabilities. But they can print money so they will never default. If your payroll and expenses are in USD nominal you are covered.

If you go, aha! but how do you safely protect your funds from inflation and Fed's money printer? Good luck with that. The system is rigged. "It's a big club and you ain't in it".

How can I make sure a screen reader reads "In Hamlet, Act Ⅳ, Scene Ⅸ..." correctly?

Easy: By writing "In Hamlet, Act 4, Scene 9..." instead.

There simply is no reason to use relics of cultures that fell before long before the invention of the printing press in a modern context such as a TTS based screen reading software, if said relics interfere with such systems functionality.

This goes double for instances where such relics have multiple representations, that make the problem unnecessarily harder than it already is. Roman Numerals are one such instance, because we can write IV or Ⅳ.
An anecdote is an anecdote, means nothing. You're right that the studies estimating long COVID prevalence have shaky foundations, but we've also had ones from the original strains, when the rate of really debilitating post-covid symptoms was way, way higher, and while that's clearly not the case, the mechanism of the virus transmission is still the same, the physiological damage is still evident, and people going from well to disabled is still happening.
Nothing wrong with getting paid if you're honest about it.

AFAIK if they randomly label you with a "commercial ip" despite the fact that you are not. Then that certainly can be seen as shady.
"This will cause a bank run, so you gotta a make a run on the bank to get your money first."

I mean, I kind of get it. That first 10% could very likely be people who know something you don't. So you use it as an indicator. But then the very perception of instability causes that same instability.
As an aside, I wonder when making allegations without proof based on speculation and partisan hate will fall out of fashion? I speculate that it continues to happen because people don't have a killfile anymore, and so trolls always have a new audience to lie to.
Too bad the entry-level offers still have such small SSDs. My EX41 from 2017(!) has SSDs that size. It’s high time to up the minimum size.

I don’t need 64 GiB of RAM or a gazillion CPU cores or whatever, I just need reasonably-sized (1 TB+) storage. Not HDDs, but SSDs.
I feel young again!! Logged into my account and an attempt to join the waitlist returns this:

Docker Hub does host images running into several GBs for even small hobby projects, and they also bear network transfer costs. Even with podman, you're going to have to host your images somewhere, right?

Right now, the internet infrastructure heavily relies on the good graces of Microsoft (Github, npm), and storage space and network transfer charges are taken for granted.
I am not sure how you could slightly smell it and not realize it...has a very strong "I cause cancer" smell to it.

Keep in mind that many people still deliberately inhale the products of combustion of tobacco.

I don't smoke, but most chlorocarbons smell good --- clean and slightly sweet is how I'd describe the fragrance.
It always seems so backwards to me when I use Python... and kinda crazy to see in a "beginner" language.
> how they verify someone is doing art

Sorry if I framed it confusingly, this isn't only for artists, it's for everyone. They don't care what you do, only how much money you make.

> how it's not the same as a basic unemployment

It pretty much is, though unemployment has more strings attached. Anything you get from unemployment is subtracted from social security, and vice versa. For unemployment the online form is simpler and money comes much quicker, but you have to attend unemployment office events and stuff.

> whether there is a maximum amount of people who can be on this programme

The true maximum is of course however much the system as a whole can support, through taxing people's income. My back-of-the-napkin math puts the cost of the whole program at about $1/mo per taxpayer. So all artists and bums combined. Might not include basic retirement, which is slightly less.

> how qualification works

It's based on income/assets. If you make less than $10k/y plus $150/mo, the program covers the difference for living expenses.

In practice, there are limits to how much they're willing to pay for things like rent and utilities. In my city the max rent is $560/mo. On this winter's coldest month they complained that my electricity bill was too high (electric heating), but still paid it in full when I complained back.

To qualify, you have to attach to your application all of your bank accounts' statements from the past 3 months, so they can see how much money you've got. When you get a bill, you send the bill and they cover it.

The social security program covers: rent, water, electricity, home insurance, Internet, healthcare, moving van, security deposit of new apartment. On top of that you get about $15/day for food and other stuff like clothes, cleaning products, what have you. In my experience food costs some $10/day to live comfortably so some $150/mo remains for everything else. Second hand clothing stores sell decent clothes for a few dollars a piece, sometimes less.

You can request additional funds for infrequent, dire needs, like a new bed, vaccuum cleaner, etc.

Feel free to ask more questions, I'm happy to elaborate :)
> had not noticed that the laptop I chose was missing an essential feature : it did not have Display Port over USB C. Not being able to use my second external monitor on this new laptop felt like a huge downgrade from my previous one

Any DisplayLink hub will solve this problem. (That's what I did with the M1 Macbook Air) Probably not as fun as hacking on a Raspberry Pi, but a lot easier to find than a Raspberry Pi :-)
I would really like this for the single reason that while there are many virtual environment or similar systems I see this as still a win for the beginner but, still having the flexibility of using other systems.

Honestly, having multiple virtual environment like systems is very confusing. I generally use condo and the venv module but I couldn't understand how to get poetry to work.
We use Hetzner but I also had good experience with Scaleway (another French cloud provider).

Yes, the Rails console runs pry. It is indeed very powerful. My only gripe with it is that when you modify your code, you have to run ‘reload!’ and wait for the entire shebang to rebuild itself. This is opposed to Lisp REPLs where you can send individual expressions into the image with a simple key chord. But again, most of the value is there.

I tried to register with them once and also hit one of those automated trip wires, so they made me send them my ID with a bunch of other stuff and then _refused to create an account for me_. The internet is full of stories like mine, so yeah, their abuse detection is total crap.
Is ChatGPT going to output a bunch of unproven, small studies from Pubmed? I feel like patients are already doing this when they show up at the office with a stack of research papers. The doctor would trust something like Cochrane colab but a good doctor is already going to be working from that same set of knowledge.

In the case that the doctor isn't familiar with something accepted by science and the medical profession my experience is that they send you to another doctor that works with that particular drug or therapy. I've had this experience even with drugs that are generally accepted as safe.
Suggest you lay off the personal attacks and review the site's Guidelines [1]. I'd already passed over and chosen to ignore your opening attack in your first comment but you've ramped it up with this reply.

Finally, maybe rather than just saying that 'all sorts of entities are investing in this hoopla', try to make an actual case yourself as to what the value case in this technology is. We should try to think for ourselves here, not just follow the (investing) herd.

https://www.fdic.gov/analysis/quarterly-banking-profile/qbp/... claims that there were 4,706 banks reporting to FDIC at the end of last year. If anything there are too many banks and too few big internet companies, given that you can fit the five that matter into one acronym.
>Podman is backed by much larger corporate machinery. If anyone thinks that Podman "winning" is a good thing then you've played right in to Walsh's antics.

I'm not making a moral judgement. I'm just saying that docker had serious technical problems and docker the business sucked at monetizing it.

Docker played into red hat's tactics. I've never heard of Matt Walsh and frankly, I've wanted rootless containers for years before I ever heard of podman.

>Podman wasn't built out of necessity but out of fiscal competitive maneuvering.

Becuase red hat is a business not a charity.

I doubt they would have built a better docker if docker wasn't refusing to improve.
> I did not reply to the article; I replied to one particular comment

You replied to two separate comments (not including this one). One of your replies was (rightly) flagged dead.

The entire thread was misconceived. All of the accusations of advertising and bait and switch were completely lacking in evidence or justification. Howard Oakley isn't ever going to "trap" anyone, regardless of whether his software is "free" under your strict definition.
Doesn’t PyPy accomplish it via CPyExt? It sounds like Cinder, Instagram’s version is CPython+JIT (among other things). I haven’t looked at the details so maybe it’s not a sufficient speed up and that’s why all these parallel efforts haven’t been merged? The part I’m missing is how what you said makes it intractable when we have counter examples within and without the language. Sure. Maybe some optimizations aren’t possible. But that’s a world of difference from little to no benefit and impossible.

Don’t get me wrong. I’m not passing a value judgement on the maintainers. But the reasons don’t feel technical to me.
This is off topic, but in regards to all the latest open AI news, including the ChatGPT and Whisper API releases. I came across Gladia.io and I see made a comment regarding it

"Why not use Whisper directly? All that seems to be happening is gladia.io is running 120 concurrent calls to openAI using 120 30s chunks of an hour long audio.
So yeah, you do get a speedup! Chop audio and stitch transcripts. But OP is vaguely (and briefly) promising a breakthrough of some sorts."

How did you figure out that is what they are doing? Or is this hypothetical?

It’s indicative, that’s all. No one is claiming it’s a statistically significant survey to the nth degree or anything. This is how people iterate products. It’s Hacker News bread and butter. You put a feature in front of people and see how many use it. How many then return to use it again. OP said they put the two options on an equal footing and 65% chose local disk save. It’s an indicator, nothing more, nothing less.
Developers are dramatically underpaid, just like all non-exec labor. It's ridiculous to complain about devs making 300k-500k a year when execs are pulling in millions or tens of millions a year with 10M-100B worth of equity under their belt. Focusing on anything other than that is a complete distraction and counterproductive. Devs should be getting 10X their current salary and execs should be getting 1/100th theirs.

I'll add that if you can't easily afford a family house next to your office, you're not overpaid.
A fair implication, but they mean "Python-based" in that the language the compiler implements is based on Python.

This was one of my Q4 projects at work last year. We moved CI to 3x hetzner machines, each running four copies of the self-hosted github runner, and drove our build/test times from >20min down to 3-4 min on average. It's ridiculous how big a difference running on a capable bare metal box makes. We run a thousand or so builds daily and pay about 300 euro a month for the setup; our overage fees from github actions were often higher than that. Reliability has been "ok": one of the machines started throwing errors that smell like bad RAM/CPU (bus errors, random reboots, etc), we raised a support ticket, they nuked it and gave us a fresh one.

We provision them with ~200 lines of shell script, which we get away with because they are not running a "prod" workload. Don't forget to run "docker system prune" on a timer! Overall these machines have been mostly unobtrusive and reliable, and the engineers greatly appreciate the order of magnitude reduction in github actions time. I've also noticed that they are writing more automation tooling now since budget anxiety is no longer a factor and the infrastructure is so much faster.
> but the gaping hole in the books was filled due to government intervention and explicitly lifting the 250K FDIC limit.

That's not the correct analysis. It was a liquidity crunch, not a "hole" in the sense of a debt. In some sense the bank always had the assets, just not in a form they could pay out as a withdrawal. So when everyone wanted out at once they ran out of cash and got seized by the FDIC.

That's not to say there won't be any losses at all. There likely will as the successor bank liquifies holdings and makes whole the folks who want out. And yes: those losses are (as reported currently) not going to be borne by depositors at all. Currently the idea is that they'll be rolled into fees on other banks, which is part of the FDIC insurance regime. So we all collectively pay for it, just not via taxes per se.
I wonder if they would have a much smaller bill if they were running on physical hardware instead of renting infrastructure from AWS.

While your post was certainly hyperbolic I was uncomfortably surprised by how many people disagreed with you.

For me the thing that disappoints me today in our industry is the number of mediocre professionals who give themselves too high of an elevated status just because they get paid more than the average person in their society.

At the end of the day we’ll have bigger problems if the trash doesn’t get picked up or if that power line doesn’t get fixed than we will if some developer doesn’t solve some abstract problem.

We don’t “deserve” anything and maybe we earned it through hard work but not enough of us appreciate our good fortune of being professional programmers.
