I started using docker a bit late, only about 3 years ago. My big question is if it is common knowledge that Docker Desktop creates a separate VM in which one's Docker Engine runs, not your host running Docker, but that VM inside your host. That separate VM indirection does not appear to be common knowledge, especially for 3rd party developers, because utilities that are supposed to work with Docker only work without Docker Desktop, or are unaware of Docker Desktop's VM and when installed claim there is no Docker on the host. It's really messed up, and as I tried to figure out what was going on I find nobody recognizes this gargantuan difference between these implementations with and without the "desktop" Docker is internally significantly different, requiring completely different runtime configurations for 3rd party integration.

This brought back a great memory for me. When I was very young, less than ten years old, my dad would bring home little kits like this from work in a little cooler that was his lunchbox. He started with the most simple ones that did not require solder, and worked up to more elaborate kits. We would work on them in the basement shop together. He let me mess up, and let me explore and experiment. This was the early 80's, and we powered these little kits with a DC power supply that he had built...from a kit.

Great memory that I had forgotten. My dad died in February of this year after a long struggle with pulmonary fibrosis. He could fix anything. He could build anything. With these little kits he taught me so much. Thanks for the memory!
I sometimes use and like alacritty, and also have kitty fully set up for my use, but have mainly ended up going back to iTerm.

With a slow motion camera I can prove that alacritty is faster / more responsive, and I think I can feel it, but it also has slightly more bugs and uses massively more battery. One funny issue is that I can’t screen share alacritty in zoom.

But it's not just "top talent" as in the people who can walk into the number one company in an industry and negotiate their millions in compensation, it's "top talent" as in "the upper segment of whatever talent pool suits the roles".

If there are ten small dev companies who aren't competing with FANG because the upper end of their salary range is $80k, the ones that force office work will lose out on the top talent within people who're willing to work for that salary to the other small companies who offer WFH, even if none of the companies are discussing the type of "top talent" who are the best of the best in their field.

Many here will really appreciate the nice recipe, however you're missing the point of the cook book. People who are looking at this cook book are definitely not going to spend 1-4 hours waiting for marinade. They barely have 1-4 minutes of effort in their tank.

* Buy pre-marinated diced beef from the store
* Buy pre-diced frozen veggies
* Buy microwave rice

1. Oil in pan
2. Beef in pan, cook for 1-2 mins
3. Veggies in pan, lower the heat to 75%
4. Cook for 5 mins and optionally add soy sauce and maybe some chicken powder (Knorr's)
5. Add microwave rice to pan, cook for another 5 mins while mixing
6. Serve

Total time: Under 15 mins, one pan used. Prep time: 0 mins, other than shopping.

August 1st Facebook shut down the servers for EchoVR, a formerly popular VR game. The announced it months ago. In the days leading up to the shutdown, people were still making fun of those who paid for optional items. You know, supported the game we were all going to miss. I said maybe if more people paid they might not shut it down. I think one kid actually had a bit of an epiphany.

Yeah, I somehow ended up being responsible for the college campus modem bank a bit before I got my home ISDN setup; a pair of livingston portmasters and a pair of T1s that connected them to the phone co.

One of the hardest / most confusing problems I ever had was with that stuff -- TPC gave me 2 hunt groups (one for faculty/staff the other for students). One worked fine the other just wouldn't work at all. Eventually (after turning off the "broken" one and still getting a login/PPP prompt when dialing I called TPC and asked "hey -- your docs have these 2 hunt groups -- are you _sure_ they're right?" and they'd actually given me another org's phone number for one of them and that other org also had a livingston portmaster on it. Sigh.

SDLC phone network stuff is fascinating -- "why is it all on one clock?" (synchronous data link control) -- because when it was invented it was absurd to presume you could get enough ram to buffer things for packets (ha! What's a packet?) -- it all just happens at all at once everywhere.

Another time someone dropped a backhoe on the cable trunks between the campus phone bunker and the campus; I glanced over and saw the techs patiently stitching back together the eleventy billion cable pairs between the switch and each phone on campus. 30 tons of copper later got replaced by 500 pounds of memory...

>Would love recommendations for other sauces that allow me to squeeze a nationality of cuisine over my template to make it taste like that country's food (kinda).

Yeah I got you:

We're going to use two different basic techniques. The first is extremely simple: throw everything into a blender and then blend until your desired consistency (normally smooth).

Mexican: Combine tomatoes, jalapeños, cilantro, lime juice, and salt for a fresh salsa.

Mediterranean: Blend olives, capers, lemon juice, and olive oil for a tapenade.

South American: Mix parsley, garlic, vinegar, oil, and chili flakes for chimichurri.

Greek: Yogurt, cucumber, garlic, lemon juice, and dill for tzatziki.

Middle Eastern: Blend tahini, garlic, lemon juice, and water for a basic tahini sauce.

Technique 2 is a little more complicated but once you get the hang of it trust me it's worth it. Call it stovetop simmering.

In a saucepan, combine the base ingredients and bring to a simmer. Add primary flavor agents/spices and continue to simmer for the desired time until flavors meld. Adjust consistency if needed (e.g., with a slurry or additional liquid).

Italian: Start with crushed tomatoes, add garlic, basil, and oregano for a marinara sauce.

Chinese: Combine soy sauce, vinegar, sugar, garlic, and ginger; thicken with a cornstarch slurry for a basic stir-fry sauce.

Indian: Start with tomatoes and onions, add garam masala, turmeric, and cumin for a basic curry sauce.

French: Start with a roux (butter + flour), then add broth and reduce; season with herbs for a basic velouté.

Thai: Coconut milk with red curry paste, simmer and season with fish sauce and sugar for a basic Thai curry.

It bears remembering the massive misalignment of incentives here: the funds like Blackrock holding large portions of the stock in these companies also hold significant positions in commercial real estate, so if they let WFH become permanently widespread they could suffer a big loss on that, hence the push for companies to enforce work from office. Many companies themselves also have commercial real estate positions (if only in their own office buildings), which they don't want to lose value.
Why exactly is it that there seems to be only the unicorn strategy? What happened to the investor who just wants to make a few x by investing in firms that are founded by experienced people with connections in their industry?

My suspicion is that a lot of agents, and that what they mostly are, simply don't know how to evaluate businesses. A unicorn strategy has some desirable properties:

- You don't have to win many times. You can go years without a hit, and this is crucial in managing expectations versus customers.

- You can forget all the investments that merely do OK. In fact, you can push them to try to unicorn themselves, that way when they either die or you get a unicorn.

- When you find a winner, you can push the founders to take more and more money, raising ambitions to stratospheric levels. Again something that goes back to expectations management. You want to be able to say you funded Facebook.

- There's a degree to which unicorn business plans depend only on risk taking. That's what you're there to do. What I mean is, there are business ideas that naturally require a huge amount of capital, and only a few groups in the world will be able to find it and try it. Other concerns are real but when capital is your main issue all the players who find it will do similar things: expand into other markets, spend heavily on tech, try to monopolize.

By contrast, just making some nice businesses with a good ROI has some issues:

- The fund that funds ordinary businesses needs to show results pretty soon. After all you're saying most of your shops will do fine.

- Businesses that aren't burning cash like a sailor on leave need to make industry specific decisions that require specific knowledge. Not just spend a bunch of money in the hope of getting a monopoly, but spend wisely.

- You need more staff to manage a bunch of businesses in a variety of industries

- Some mittelstand business that's doing just fine will be totally unknown to your investors. They won't be thinking of you as "that guy who helped build that new ball bearing factory".
You could always take a job locally. Your position would just be filled by someone who lives near by.

Show HN: SafariGPT iOS Shortcut to summarize pages in Safari
Ever since ChatGPT came out, I wanted Safari extension for iOS to summarize web articles when I was lazy to read the whole article.

So I wrote my first shortcut that summarizes long page into small paragraphs using Official 'Ask ChatGPT' shortcut.

How to use:

Since it uses official shortcut of ChatGPT app, you need to have Official OpenAl ChatGPT iOS app installed. (Note that it won't work on MacOS.)

- Make sure ChatGPT app is installed. - Add Shortcut
- While on Safari, click Share
- Scroll all the way down and click SafariGPT
- After 30-40 seconds, summary will be displayed.
- Summary can be read aloud by VoiceOver by selecting Yes after summary is shown.

It utilizes ChatGPT app, so the summary will also be available in you conversion history.

It is both, but Mozilla has never tried to hide it. Read their blog for a bit and you'll see ton of advocacy for various subjects.

Cherry-picking expenses that total barely 500k out of a 500M budget and hiding it behind "noooo we don't get political here promised" is also pushing an agenda.

The Mozilla Foundation does plenty of stupid shit. I don't agree with much of what they're doing, starting from Baker's insane pay for how terrible of a job she does. But 400k to an association... At best that pays for two rallies that total 500 people, at worst it's giving money to friends.

> common knowledge that Docker Desktop creates a separate VM

I mean, I know that linux containers only run on linux (please ignore docker for windows which briefly did not need a vm, that is thing of the past now). I don't know if other people know that linux containers only run on linux.

> utilities that are supposed to work with Docker only work without Docker Desktop, or are unaware of Docker Desktop's VM and when installed claim there is no Docker on the host

> gargantuan difference between these implementations with and without the "desktop" Docker is internally significantly different, requiring completely different runtime configurations for 3rd party integration

It's not really that different though. Because docker has a daemon and API, anything that integrates with docker is supposed to talk to the "$DOCKER_HOST" environment variable to run docker containers, see if docker is running and what version, etc etc.

That should be identical whether "$DOCKER_HOST" is pointed at a unix socket on your host, or at a linux vm, or so on.

The implementation of those APIs should be identical.

Do you have an example of a specific utility? Did you not set "$DOCKER_HOST"?
People in the comments here are falling for the attention grabbing headline. The amount of yearly venture deals is in the thousands if not tens of thousands.

That only 108 of them file for bankruptcy in any given year, means that the bankruptcy rate of VC backed companies is on the order of 1%.

That means you can't make any significant statement about VC general practices based on this number, except this: Generally the math for VC's is that 25% of the companies they back fail (to return on investment). If the amount of bankruptcies is only on the order 1% that means that usually VC backed companies don't take on debt (because debt is what makes you file for bankruptcy).

This makes sense since the whole idea of VC backing is that they provide you with capital when traditional banking institutions won't.

The usual way for VC backed companies to fail is they either get sold for pennies on the dollar to PE or a competitor, or they wind down, fire their employees, shut down their cloud instances and either become little restaurants on the web, zombies or simply cease to be.

If this statistic of bankruptcies is anything at all, it's a leading indicator that things aren't going very well for startups/scale-ups. Either they're losing revenue, or they never had enough revenue and are not getting runway extensions, or both. And that's also what this (very short 1 minute read) article is about.

there's a "race to the bottom" problem too. if one VC starts pouring money into a sector they'll - temporarily - crowd out the small firms. hence all funds are incentivized to "go big or go home".

"the upper end of their salary range is $80k"

It's a Moulinex Cookeo (French brand). They have multiple varieties, I'd skip the ones with a phone connection and pretending to do 500 recipes, and go for the basic one. It's a big bowl that gets hot. That's it. I'm not convinced this is fundamentally better than a random old-school pressure cooker, but in my case, the apartment I was renting at the time had a shitty electrical stove, so it helped a lot. The self-timer is also nice.

I usually save recipes on my phone, editing out the fluff and keeping the ingredients and directions, so I don't have links for them anymore.

My favorite recipe is the "picadillo", and this is the actual recipe: https://www.skinnytaste.com/instant-pot-picadillo/

The recipe says "serve over rice". In my case, the picadillo tends to have a lot of sauce. What I like doing is cooking the right amount of rice for the whole batch, then dumping it with the rest of the dish. It'll soak up most of the sauce. The rice may not end up what people typically call "well-cooked rice", but I don't care and actually prefer it this way. You can also replace the rice with a quinoa mix. Or do both rice + quinoa, but this is a pain because their cooking times are different. It goes great with pasta, too. Also, as filling for tortillas, but you have to manage the sauce, or it's annoying to eat. In all cases, adding some grated cheese is great, but not necessary.

I also do a pasta one. I think this is the recipe: https://eatinginaninstant.com/instant-pot-ground-beef-pasta/ Bonus points for not requiring to cook the pasta separately.

Can't find the link to the one with the beans, but here's one which looks so good I might give it a try: https://www.simplyhappyfoodie.com/instant-pot-red-beans-rice...

I've initially found those randomly searching for "instant pot recipe" on google. Some general recommendations: don't be afraid to dump in a lot of vegetables. If the recipe calls for "half an onion" or "small onion" and you only have big ones and nothing to do with the remaining half, put it all in. Same for peppers and tomatos. If it asks for tomato sauce and you only have big containers (they tend to be cheaper), dump it all in and just cook for a bit longer with the top off. Also works if the recipe calls for tomato paste, it's sometimes cheaper to make your own from tomato sauce.

Generally speaking, you don't have to follow recipes to a T. What I like to say is that "given what you put in, it's hard to get something bad out". The worst that happened to me was when I dropped too many peppercorns in. The taste was still great, but it was a PITA to fish them out one by one.
Is it talent, or is it experience and a sense of ownership?

Projects and products can fail when key people leave, because the organization no longer knows what it's doing. When the knowledge is gone, new people will have a hard time rediscovering it on their own. But they can have more success with new projects, because it's their project and they understand it.
