And I think this is perfectly acceptable when the service in question is one out of many. The reason why it is so contentious today is that a few megacorps have effectively come to define what "the Internet" is for the majority of people, though, and their ability to exclude content translates to extreme amount of political power in practice - so much so that it should not be tolerated in a free society.

But the solution to this problem is not to force those private service providers to be hands-off, but to make sure that none of them are big enough that it matters. Which the political forces that are pushing for these laws won't do, because their political economy boils down to "capitalism good, anti-monopoly bad", and that inevitably leads to the present state of affairs in practice.
> I honestly think a lot of hate against fast fashion is from the fast fashion brands that still do brick and mortar stores.

No. The concept of fast fashion is the problem. The slave and child labour, carelessness about environmental effects both during production and transport, poor quality clothes that release microplastics and need to be replaced much more often because they last a month. The whole thing.

> Edit:// To the downvoters. What's the difference between H&M and Shein other than the price and Sortiment size? I simply don't get where we draw the line.

Why do you need to draw a line? This was your premise and your assumption that “a lot of hate against fast fashion is from the fast fashion brands that still do brick and mortar stores”. It does not match my experience at all, or what is in mainstream media.

Her lumbar puncture was in 2017, so not quite. But the leak came back in late 2018, and it seems like she's been living with it since then, which is incredibly awful. Based on her other issues (MCAS and EDS), diagnosed since the first leak, it does seem like she'll be living with this (and possibly worse) for the rest of her life.

At any rate, wherever you are on your healing journey, best wishes for further recovery!
I just declare firewall jubilee every now and then, where I flush the iptables and let people try again. It's also because people usually only control the IPs they use temporarily, so I don't want someone innocent later on to be blocked from using the service because someone abusive used their IPs beforehand. But even if I didn't do this, it doesn't cost much for Linux to iterate over an array of blocked int32's. It's really only allocated TCP connection resources that are problematic.
> (~$400 sweater).

From Terry Pratchett:

"The reason that the rich were so rich, Vimes reasoned, was because they managed to spend less money.

Take boots, for example. He earned thirty-eight dollars a month plus allowances. A really good pair of leather boots cost fifty dollars. But an affordable pair of boots, which were sort of OK for a season or two and then leaked like hell when the cardboard gave out, cost about ten dollars. Those were the kind of boots Vimes always bought, and wore until the soles were so thin that he could tell where he was in Ankh-Morpork on a foggy night by the feel of the cobbles.

But the thing was that good boots lasted for years and years. A man who could afford fifty dollars had a pair of boots that'd still be keeping his feet dry in ten years' time, while the poor man who could only afford cheap boots would have spent a hundred dollars on boots in the same time and would still have wet feet.

This was the Captain Samuel Vimes 'Boots' theory of socioeconomic unfairness."
A lot of things work out of the box. Hairdryers. Cooking stoves. Fridges. Coffee machines.

It's just as soon as a company wants to make everything into a full-blown computer (to get that sweet data), that's when the problems start. The system becomes complex, feature creep and lack of engineering effort do the rest. Maybe not everything needs to be a computer.
And here the "proportional to the actual distribution" means distribution in training data. If that is not diverse enough, they can very well spend couple billions and go get more from areas that increase that diversity, like mentioned Africa and Asia and maybe South America...
Speaking as another leftie, corporate media is very much culturally left. But there is a big disconnect between cultural left and economic left now, to the point where the rhetoric of the former is used to distract from the latter.

Does anyone happen to know which testcontainer implementations shell out, if any?
They might mean that rather than using a mock, use a real typed object/instance of a real thing and inject it into the unit that you’re testing. Admittedly, that might meet the definition of a fake/mock once you get down to the level of testing something that needs db access. Another way of interpreting that is that you can use in memory versions of your deps to mirror the interface of your dependency without needing to repeatedly, and possibly haphazardly mock certain functions of your dependency.

Musks seems more like the type who has read a sci-fi book or seen a movie and has enough money to pay people to build what he has read or seen.

The problem is that he often underestimates the technical challenges. This sometimes works when the problem only needs an evolutionary step, like landing rockets, but fails when it comes to revolutionary discoveries.

It's this complete dive way past reasonable measures ("don't generate images that are always all white people by default", "don't generate recipes that include mercury or bleach") into wild excess that actively get in the way of simple uses of the tool ("not allowed to tell you how to kill a process, because that's unethical", "turns generated images of 13th century English people into a community college recruitment pamphlet").
The end of coding? Nvidia's CEO sparks controversy
Our use-case was redis servers, one of your supposedly good use-cases for testcontainers.

I didn't mention, but the testcontainer code also preferred to add that network io to the actual test runtime, which made measuring the test's performance harder, and meant we couldn't as safely cache the test's results. The bazel version made it easy to build the test's dependency as part of the test compilation process (as it should be) so the test runtime didn't have to do external network IO.

"Excels" is also a stretch; we had a few hundred tests launching dedicated redis servers, and with hand-rolled code, that worked fine with zero flakes. With testcontainers, it regularly flaked with some opaque docker network error or sometimes just plain a timeout because apparently launching 100s of containers in parallel is a hard problem for docker or something.

I'm sure it works well for some people, but if those people wanted to build out their own version without docker and testcontainers, specific to their development tooling and environment, it would probably work better in most cases I think.
Yes! I agree on so many levels.

But at the current state of things people draw the line somewhere fictional and blame fast fashion while wearing fast fashion.

There is no indicator that shein is either worse or better than H&M or Adidas. All acting really hazardous to their environment and using forced labor.

There is literally no number I can find that would even suggest that H&M or Adidas are doing less bad to the environment.

Adidas might has a durability standard that makes it more worthy but that's not true for Zara, H&M, Shein and all other non sporty fast fashion brands.

And don't get me started how many 'luxury' brands use the exact same production chain.

> Why do you need to draw a line?

I worry because people hate on each other while all doing the exact same shit. Most people can't afford fair fashion at the current market. Many who could afford it still choose to buy bad brands. This is where we need change, not blame shein but happily buy fake eco from h&m and think this is somehow better.

This won't change the market to the better.
What is the "Chinese model"? Export cheap manufacturing and labor? Exploit, copy, and imitate superior products until you can flood the market with your cheap knockoffs? Profit as you're headed for the bottom of the barrel?

China is the Antichrist in as much as it needs a Christ for it to exist. Without Western capitalism it is nothing, because it doesn't consume nearly as much as it produces. The profits from its production are the result of its wealth. In fact, it is profitable in spite of its government policies.

I do this a lot for Postgres testing. In my setup, I create a single database for the entire test run. Each test creates its own schema in that database and applies the latest table definitions.

With this setup, I only eat the container creation once, while allowing every test to operate in isolation from one another, be parallelized, and test against a real database.

I do a similar trick for S3 containers by applying a unique guid prefix to the buckets in each test.

So if LLMs did the same (i.e. purposefully distorted facts and historical events due arbitrary and political reasons) it would also be acceptable?

This is pure conjecture. But the answer is no, the only acceptable behavior in these circumstances would be for the model to refuse to generate the image and explicitly explain why this type of censorship is necessary.

My understanding is that "which means" only makes sense with the assumption that what is being studied is the laminar flow of an incompressible fluid (which was described as a fair assumption for air and a wing at subsonic speed). But thinking more about it, it's probably right that this isn't about the fact that the air above needs to travel a longer distance, which would also be true for a concave wing section, but the fact that the layers immediately above the wing need to travel the same X distance through a thinner Y section - as in a tube which becomes thinner. Which forces the fluid to go at a higher speed, and have a lower pressure.

Not sure how I feel about the developers making 30k a month in patreon donations for writing an emulator for a current gen console. Nintendo might have a point here.

Edit: that said, I did pay 5 dollars (or something like that) for redream, which is a Dreamcast emulator. But in my mind at least, this doesn't deny the developers of the games I play on it the money they would get from a sale. Because it is a dead platform.

I know for a fact that when I pirated Dreamcast games back in the day, I would have paid for at for some of them at least. I don't feel great about that. It was one of my favourite consoles and I probably aided in it's untimely demise.
I've heard this aversion to unit tests a few times in my career, and I'm unable to make sense of it.

Sure, integration tests "save" you from writing pesky unit tests, and changing them frequently after every refactor.

But how do you quickly locate the reason that integration test failed? There could be hundreds of moving parts involved, and any one of them malfunctioning, or any unexpected interaction between them, could cause it to fail. The error itself would likely not be clear enough, if it's covered by layers of indirection.

Unit tests give you that ability. If written correctly, they should be the first to fail (which is a good thing!), and if an integration test fails, it should ideally also be accompanied by at least one unit test failure. This way it immediately pinpoints the root cause.

The higher up the stack you test, the harder it is to debug. With E2E tests you're essentially debugging the entire system, which is why we don't exclusively write E2E tests, even though they're very useful.

To me the traditional test pyramid is still the best way to think about tests. Tests shouldn't be an afterthought or a chore. Maintaining a comprehensive and effective test suite takes as much hard work as, if not more than, maintaining the application itself, and it should test all layers of the system. But if you do have that, it gives you superpowers to safely and reliably work on any part of the system.
