> It isn't an "appeal to emotion," it is emotion. Emotion is not this ephemeral second-class citizen in your mind. It's you. It's the part of you that cares about things

Regardless, it's not an argument. Your emotion has no direct weight on the correctness of an outcome you're arguing for, and trying to appeal to other's emotions in an attempt to sway them is attempting to bypass their critical analysis.

Argue the facts and let emotions happen. They "are you" but should not drive you.

> "Everyone agrees with me but they're too afraid to say it" is a convenient excuse to hold reprehensible beliefs that you don't want to take responsibility for. If everyone is afraid to say something, maybe that's because it's disgusting?

No, likely outcomes and consequences for discussing something are rarely aligned. You're discussing hounding people out of work/home/politics because of your emotional take on what they're saying, without any actual analysis of it or how actionable it is.

In my mind, that's incredibly dangerous (and thus, if I chose to use emotional language - disgusting) but I'm not advocating taking away your right to say it.

> Again though, while there I am certain are some examples of people being bullied to that point, I have a hard time seeing it.

James Damore is a great example. He didn't broadcast his views - he responded privately to questions in a hiring review panel at Google, discussing how the company could improve its hiring of women by understanding the roles it was offering in the light of modern psychological analysis using the "Big Five" traits model.

Specifically, he did not say that women were worse engineers in any way, either holistically or in individual skills, OR less suited to engineering than males. He argued that Google's roles were less suitable for "traditionally female" interests. Again, this was privately, in the context of a panel trying to evaluate why Google wasn't great at hiring women engineers.

His communications were leaked, with the context stripped, in an edited form without any references to gawker-style media who were prompted with the lead 'white guy says - "Don't hire women"' to prompt them into the "right" emotional headspace to write an attack piece.

To tie this back to emotion, obviously someone read his words and let their emotion at those words (I myself don't like psychobabble) override their analysis of what was said. Their emotions are "valid lived experience" but the attacks they called for, and lies used to do so, are not helpful or justified.
It's strange that other people will pay the burden of raising children that support your retirement.

You might think that your earning and savings supports your retirement, but no. It will be the next generation of workers that actualize it. Money is just unit of account, it by itself does not give you a retirement. Only working age, working people.

We've found ourselves in a very strange moral hazard. You spend your money to raise kids that will work to earn my savings in my retirement. Hopefully the state can afford your retirement too, but that's unlikely, because no one had children. Because this society sterilizes itself.
> Taken together, my updated analysis suggests that streaming a Netflix video in 2019 typically consumed around 0.077 kWh of electricity per hour, some 80-times less than the original estimate by the Shift Project (6.1 kWh) and 10-times less than the corrected estimated (0.78 kWh), as shown in the chart, below left.

If you're going to be pedantic about minutae, you have to get it right.

The "image side of a Dockerfile" isn't a Dockerfile, it's an image, more specifically an image in the OCI Image Format [0]. A Dockerfile is just the most common syntax for controlling software that can create an OCI image (such as Docker and Podman).

You could argue that the OCI Image Format is declarative, but that's not relevant to OP's comment about Dockerfiles.

The US is quite a large place, you cant just say that different localities and different areas of emphasis need the same fee and to draw from the same fee. At best you're asking to hide the fees behind yet another level of bureaucracy that we'd then need a foia request just to see the breakdown
Recall, the Dockerfile syntax is 'imperative'. If we change the order of the commands in the Dockerfile, we likely end up with a different image.

In the Nix example, the image we build is in the expression `nix2container.buildImage { ... }`.

The `nginxWebRoot` is the package with the index.html:

nginxWebRoot = pkgs.writeTextDir "index.html" ''
<html><body><h1>Hello from NGINX</h1></body></html>
'';

It's reasonable to say "writeTextDir" modifies the disk. I don't think it's reasonable to say just because changes in state occur that the code is imperative. (e.g. SQL is a declarative language, but clearly allows modifying the database).

Similarly:

nginxVar = pkgs.runCommand "nginx-var" {} ''
mkdir -p $out/var/log/nginx
mkdir -p $out/var/cache/nginx
'';

We can say the contents of the runCommand argument are run imperatively, sure. (Especially: if you change the order of the bash commands, you might get a different result).
But unlike the Dockerfile, the order where we declare this nginxVar package doesn't matter.

Or, say: the `copyToRoot` in the `nix2container.buildImage` takes in a list of packages where the contents are copied to root. The copying is an action; but the list of what to copy is not an action. -- And again, `copyToRoot` could be put after the `config` attribute.

The mechanisms describing how the copying is done is elsewhere.

The people you're describing do exist. But you deciding they're the typical case says more about you than it does about them.

Many people love reading and cataloging their books and connecting with a few friends online, all earnestly.
I think the article phrased it sloppily. I think what’s happening is that the studios write off the cost of the production as a loss and they can only do that if they don’t have them available to stream where they could in theory generate revenue in the future. The phrase about “the company’s value” is just sloppy/mistaken here.

The reason it makes sense for the studios to remove these shows for the minimal benefit represented by a lowered tax burden is that the shows generate shockingly little viewership let alone revenue. The mechanism for the relationship between those things is pretty fuzzy in a subscription-based world in the first place, Did a single viewer signup for Netflix or decide not to cancel their subscription because of The Irishman, for example? That movie cost Netflix something upwards of $160 million. It made $8 million in its theatrical release. Is there any world where the remaining cost was made up for by new or retained streaming customers? I highly doubt it.

This is why the whole streaming industry is moving to ad-supported and low cost reality content. And why the services are fighting the WGA demands to release streaming viewership numbers as part of paying writers residuals. It’s not the cost of the residuals. It’s the numbers. If streaming viewership numbers were public Netflix stock would go to 0 the next day.
Petrochemicals are never going to go to zero. We'll always need them. We won't always need to allow every person on the planet to burn them as fuel, but we will still need them to manufacture the many other products that aren't destroying the atmosphere.
Yes I don't mean literally chatGPT, thats why I said "except it would type from your mind" to eliminate the focus on chatGPT being wrong.

Alright I concede if that's really your use case. I wrote in another comment but I manage 3 separate companies that I started, and I'm the single developer on all of them, and I do everything on them (frontend, backend, infrastructure, data architecture/analysis, etc). So it's definitely not true for me. I have enough experience with my friends working at companies though to know they STILL would benefit, but it sounds like you escape this characterization somehow, so I believe you.

This is certainly not true in the generic sense, and is likely an issue with your setup/hardware.
> HN is mostly high value content but still it's not the most effective use of my time.

Wonder how we could make it more effective. I’d love a keyword filter. Or an algorithm I can train myself to teach it what I like and don’t like. ChatGPT summaries of the comments to filter the wheat from the chaff would be helpful too.
Have you ever considered going to a therapist? Telling strangers that they need to procreate is not psychologically normal. I wouldn’t be surprised if it was also co-morbid with other psychological issues.

Technically the H1B system is designed to work that way, but in practice people don't believe it does because of the games you can play with titles and job descriptions.
I'm not good at anything. It seems you're at least good at something, even if it's not your first choice.
> For the most part, we get censorship because the majority wants censorship. (Or, at least, thinks they want censorship because they haven't thought all the way through what that actually is going to mean).

I think that you have it the other way around. The minority that doesn't want censorship hasn't thought through what it actually means to not have censorship. Either that or the two groups are working with totally different definitions of censorship.
I am more upset that the API is down than ChatGPT itself, which the API still shows green to this moment, but I am still timing out after 5 minutes.
Lots of stuff didn't exist 2000 years ago.

The researchers used past weather data (as you wrote), and looked at how that would work in a future (as I said) energy-mix scenario: a climate-neutral energy mix as projected for 2045.

So it definitely does not refer to the energy mix as currently installed.

This is an unsupported (and unsupportable) assertion over time.
I asked them whether it was specifically about that and they said yes. The appliance in question was a consumer item, just a tad older, not a repurposed industrial machine.
> Seems to me a rather circular definition, because I'm not sure anyone except Microsoft has a 'productivity suite'?

LibreOffice and its descendents (e.g. Collabora) spring to mind immediately. There are a few. Apple has its own tools (Keynote, etc) but I don't think they're necessarily a suite.

There aren't going to be a lot of new productivity suites, due to how overwhelmingly dominant Microsoft is.

In fact, the key metric for any office site isn't its features or numerical prowess, but rather how well it can read and write Microsoft office files.

> 404 Media found that MTA’s trip history feature still works even when the user pays with Apple Pay. Apple told 404 Media it does not store or have access to the used card numbers, and does not provide these to merchants, including transit systems. Apple did not respond when asked to clarify how the MTA website feature works when a rider uses Apple Pay.

This, uh, seems strange? Something doesn't add up.
You don't really get credit for being "both". There are maintainability and comprehensibility benefits to keeping anything imperative out of a language (you don't have to reason causally from one statement to the next), which is out the window when you introduce imperative elements. Also: in a Dockerfile, those imperative elements are the heart of the system.
That's what I meant by "I get why it is the way it is".

I'm not suggesting it change. I'm saying that calling it "not declarative" seems fair, based on the way that most people actually use it.

> There's no struggle for power between an overworked corporate bee, and a billionaire.

Oh, but there is! Why do you think the "bees" try to create unions, and the billionaires try to prevent it? If the bees get their union, that means they can wrestle some amount of power away from the owner.

> and who could blame them with their entire energy drained by their jobs

Some people and some companies and in some countries, it's normal for the company to be able to drain most of the energy from the workers. In other places, there is much more work/life balance.

By heuristic, like the comment that I responded to directly above was not limited to only employer/employee relationships, but rather so called "systemic issues".

It also happens in both directions. For instance, when conservatives argue against a minimum wage, they tend to argue that a minimum wage can lead to increased unemployment. Do you think most conservatives REALLY carethat much about that part, or do they just want to avoid the minimum wage regulations?
I had kids relatively late in life (42) and it's been amazing. I love being a dad, far more than I thought I would. It wasn't really about wanting kids or not wanting kids, it felt more like...puberty in that for most of human history you don't really get to choose to do it or not, it happens pretty naturally. I guess that's unfashionable to say. Perhaps some would say it's irresponsible. But the opening montage in Idiocracy looms large, I believe thinking too much about kids is a trap. Basically you should have them if you can.

Yes, it's hard work, and I was very happy to change my last diaper. But the rewards far, far outweigh the costs. Children are on balance a true joy, their laughter and smiles so pure and wonderful, that I can't imagine life without them.

Amish do need to expand to new land though. They're priced out of the Lancaster homeland. But they don't want expensive urban real estate, so it's ok.

You realise the right moved on to using 'both sides' arguments to justify the worst of what they want to do over a decade ago. Right?

It's quite easy to spin up a few hundred social media accounts, pretend to be left wing, make stupid arguments, then jump on right wing media and pretend those accounts represent left wing policy.

And rubes lap it up because its formatted in memes they have been trained to accept without questioning.

A lot of liberal (in the classical, broad sense) young folks simply shrug their shoulders at this fact -- not everyone wants kids, so what?

I think it's worth considering, if you're one of these people, that without children being born to liberal parents, the "extremists" of the world -- fundamentalist muslims, christians, and so on -- will inherit the earth. Of course some of their children will grow up to be liberals, but that number will inevitably decrease as the total number of liberals does as well.

If you believe that equality, feminism, human rights, and so on would suffer in that world, then I think you should consider if not having kids is really a big deal after all.
I don't think it matters how often you want to meet. When you do, you should want it to work. We're not talking about a side feature either, this is software for having meetings.

Microsoft is one of the wealthiest companies on this planet with decades upon decades of experience in software. Let's not pretend like their willingness to cut corners wherever they can and compromise on quality, as long as the profits keep coming in, is anything but an affront. Controlling the whole stack should make it easier to do this, but in reality monopolies have the opposite effect because capitalism has these averse incentives baked in. Yet another reason to bring back aggressive antitrust enforcement, i.e. break up big tech.
As much as I think you should support Vagrant in your tool, that isn't the point I was making - whether it's worth supporting is something you need to decide for yourself.

The point I was making is this:
Your claim is

> No matter the use case, OrbStack has you covered with features

But you don't support a common, cross-platform tool that's been around for ages and is used for managing developer environments - including running containers.
Doesn't that cost extra compared to Plus?
Huh? Apple already partnered with Globalstar for satellite connectivity which I think will come to fruition for more general connectivity long long before any of Elmocorp figures how to make phones at the quality of iPhones or even $Galaxy_Flagship.

And no one has figured how to make AI work for the kinds of tasks people ask phones to do. It might be possible but no one's yet made it work so it's hard to argue that anyone is "behind" on this front when no one has brought even a commercial AI-based voice assistant to market which is has the lowest barrier to entry and the highest user tolerance for failure.

So I think you're right that a lot of old-guard tech is becoming too big to be agile but I'm less sure about the thing that will actually disrupt them.
>The Barnes Foundation Loosens Its Straitjacket

>In July, a Pennsylvania judge granted the Barnes’s petition to lend a limited number of storied paintings from its collection galleries to other institutions and to also display them temporarily outside the set configurations established by the obsessive founder, Albert C. Barnes (1872—1951) when he was alive.

>The decision comes just when the drama around the Barnes Foundation’s 2012 move from its original suburban home in Merion, Pa., to a sleek new facility in Philadelphia, sparking years of controversy and outcry, had finally died down.

>Both the move and the new lending policy go against Barnes’s wishes as stated in his original indenture of trust, the legal agreement he created in his lifetime.

>Richard Feudale, an attorney in Mt. Carmel, Pa., who has been trying to block the new lending policy, filed a motion in Superior Court this week to strike Judge Sterling’s ruling. His Aug. 8 motion states that if paintings leave the Barnes on loan, visitors will be reading “a story with pages ripped out.”

>The motion added, “This foundation is unique in all the world and its indenture asks one thing, that it be left alone.”

>Tom L. Freudenheim, a former assistant secretary of the Smithsonian Institution who had opposed the Barnes’s move from its original home, said that the lending policy did not surprise him, given the institution’s changes over time, including putting on temporary exhibitions.

>“The Barnes has been acting like a regular museum,” Freudenheim said. The restrictions of the new lending policy struck him as “silly,” he added. “That’s trying to play it both ways.”

>The 2004 legal decision that allowed the Barnes to move was predicated on the idea that the collection would replicate the original configuration of works in the new location, a guideline that was followed within an eighth of an inch.

>Nick Tinari, a Philadelphia lawyer specializing in intellectual property, disagreed with the ruling, saying that it is “continuing to nibble away at what remains of Dr. Barnes’s carcass.”

>Tinari added, “One of the last strictures remaining” of Barnes’s trust, “is the prevention of selling works — that will be next. Mark my words.”

>Sara Geelan, the Barnes’s general counsel, said that the loan changes were not an indication that the institution would seek to make further changes to its indenture of trust. “This is not a slow roll of anything else,” Geelan said.

I'm not questioning their skill or your observation, I believe you fully.

I also know just because someone is smart doesn't mean that all their ideas make sense in terms of efficiency. The smartest people I know are also generally the sloppiest, or have the most rigid unbending ideas that are not adaptable.

I'm not saying that's what you've seen of course, just wanted to explain that what I'm saying doesn't necessarily contradict what you're saying.
Missing a mention of buildkit, which compiles various high-level build description languages (including Dockerfile) into a low-level build graph execution, which supports all of the bells and whistles of advanced build infrastructure, such as remote execution and remote caching.

https://docs.docker.com/build/buildkit/

I am particularly interested in build systems, so I am biased, but I think this is one of the coolest things coming out of Docker. It is a bit painful to see so much fanfare at DockerCon about Docker Desktop stuff, and so few mentions of more foundational things like buildkit and rootless container support.
