Yeah and that's why I'm skeptical of the idea that AI tools will just replace people, in toto. Someone has to ultimately be responsible for the data, and "the AI said it was true" isn't going to hold up as an excuse. They will minimize and replace certain types of work, though, like generic illustrations.

No they have not been covered, as mentioned in a root comment, I work at a remote mine site in the sub-arctic where 95% of energy comes from diesel. All the inuit villages and all the mines this high up generate power the same way. This could make a huge difference. That said, I'm very cognisant that the quantity of sites is limited. However, Canadian, Russian, Svalbardian, Greenlandic mining is picking up and I think these could be a key way to enable electric mining as climate change opens up these new areas of exploraiton and exploitation of mineral reserves.

But if you can get isolation, security AND reproducible environments using a VM, specially one that's nearly as fast as a OS process, the case for using containers instead pretty much disappears.
I don't know this LiteVM thing but I will definitely investigate that, specially given that on my Mac I need to use a VM anyway to run containers!

In that scenario, it is no longer bluetooth and no longer certified and therefore likely to be illegal mostly everywhere.

Also, ofcourse you can change the software of a software defined radio. Why do we even have to mention this here ?
If this were true, then wouldn't folks just need an application binary that statically links all of its required libraries and resources into a giant, say, ELF? Why even bother with a container?

The issue here is that docker evolved rather rapidly and in a “let a thousand flowers bloom” sort of manner. And because of that you have these subtle but confusing differences between behaviors that aren’t really all that consistent.

A good example of this is how the shell is handled from layer to layer(sorta this) or even how CMD and ENTRYPOINT behave (or don’t).

If the spec has allowances for behaviors like this generating warnings would be the best possible outcome (eg referencing a variable that theoretically isn’t set). Maybe certain runtime / runc / build envs complain but the author didn’t see the complaint.

That's an interesting link and an argument I hadn't seen before.

In my "real world" usage, I've found "bash strict mode" incredibly useful, especially when scripting things that others will be modifying. It just avoids all of the "somebody forgot an error check", "there's a typo in a variable name", etc., type errors. And pouring through logs to figure out what actually went wrong in CI/CD is brutal.

Looking at the examples:

- I don't generally do arithmetic in bash, that's a sign of "time to change language"
- Also generally use `if ...; then ...; fi` instead of `test ... && ...`

If you do the advanced type of scripting that somebody who writes a Bash FAQ does, I'm sure `set -e` can be annoying. But once you learn a couple simple idioms y(covered on the original "bash strict mode" page) you don't have to know much more to have fairly robust scripts. And future maintainers will thank you for it!
Lecturing was invented in Middle Ages, before the printing press, when there might have been only a single copy of each book per university. So instead of asking students to read the book (which would be impossible) a lecturer would read it and then tell the students what the book said. Nowadays, when everybody can just read the book themselves lectures are pointless. When I was in college I basically never attended any lectures for that reason.
"VM" means it has its own kernel? Why have 2 kernels on the same machine?

All processes in a proper OS are already isolated and there is no need for VM.
Yikes! If "safety" really means brand safety, they completely missed the mark here.
Stupid question but forgive me: Whats the difference between a container and a VM?

If we ever encounter alien life, most probable is either:

Microbial or other primitive life (carbon-based or otherwise).

Or remains of some type of civilization. Like Maya ruins, or a Voyager-style probe that was launched 100k+ years ago.

Both very difficult to detect from a distance.

Or they'd have to come to us. Not sure that would be a good thing...
> In contrast, people doing R&D in pharma or other similar fields will spend months or years working on a single project that doesn't go anywhere because it is too hard.

So does your argument boil down to “software moves faster than the sciences, so it’s not R&D?”

Initial development isn’t R&D. Like you said, setting up a webpage and hooking up payments isn’t R&D.

After a product is established, future work is R&D. A cycle of desired outcome, hypothesis for how to get there, and successive implementations until something sticks or the project fails and the hypothesis is proven wrong.
> it's about lives and how people fit together more than how bricks fit together

That's a great way of putting it!

> Le Corbusier, for example, deriving systems for living and modular approaches to constructing space

I agree the comparison is apt, but I much prefer Alexander's humane, bottom-up, anarchistic approach than Le Corbusier's authoritarian high modernism.

Reading The Oregon Experiment is great context for A Pattern Language, seeing the way they envisioned the pattern language being used by a community. And the kinds of organisation they needed to couch it in, the way they needed to change the budgeting process to enable many more smaller projects, the way they co-opted staff and students into planning groups rather than have a siloed professional office.

But, sadly it doesn't seem like this approach has been influential. I can't think of many other places that work this way! So while I do also wish more software people had read and appreciated this work, I don't think it's the immaturity of the software industry that prevents us from appreciating these ideas.

In the introduction to A Pattern Language, the authors write "towns and buildings will not be able to come alive, unless they are made by all the people in society". I wonder if this is also true of software.
So. Brave.
Apologies, but I understand the English words you're typing but I'm still not sure of the intent you're trying to convey to everyone. You're conversing in a very rigid style which isn't sympathetic to how people typically interact.

I could just leave the discussion I guess, but in the interest of discourse, I don't find your statement meaningful because we're not all working in languages that I think you refer to. Our unit tests are absolutely not perfect and don't offer perfect guarantees, as we're fallible and will write fallible code.

And as such, I just don't understand what point you're trying to make by saying that LLM generated tests are no good because they can't offer perfect guarantees.

What do you mean by “an LLM doesn’t reason”?
people would absolutely love to do that, but it's difficult, and the UX sucks

so people use containers instead (even if the container literally only contains a single statically linked binary)
That's exactly the summary of this.

That said, it makes sense from a developer POV; if, during development, you don't need the isolation you can run multiple containers (with on paper fast boot times and minimal overhead) on your development box.

There's plenty of cases to imagine where you need the containerization but not necessarily the isolation.
Still not great, but do you know about the spacebar trick? Anywhere the keyboard is open in iOS or iPadOS, press and hold the spacebar. The keyboard is now a trackpad and you can easily move the cursor. Incredibly bad discoverability but has been a big qol improvement for me.

I feel like I’m imagining it at this point, but didn’t both Apple and Google come out and directly say they were doing it?

The distinction was “recording”. No one admitted to recording, but they did say that they did voice to text (on-device) then sold the interesting keywords. Since even a complete transcription is technically metadata it falls under the very large umbrella and gets to be hand-waved.

Not sure why you are coming here to rant about "a lot of people complaining about Dockerfile being too complicated" when the topic here is a gotcha that's not at all obvious and Docker working in a way that is not intuitive. If I specify ARG I obviously expect it to be set everywhere in the Dockerfile. Your rant is out of place because it generalizes and attempts to shift topics.

the likelihood of a write-in candidate are small. i could not find any actual statistics but this article which points out that write-in candidates do win occasionaly:

http://www.virginiaplaces.org/government/writein.html

but the article also shows that some write-in wins are based on a technicality, like when there are more seats than nominated candidates.

in other words, this is not a level playing field. write-in candidates are not on equal footing with candidates nominated by established parties. even alternative parties usually have little chance.

in a truly democratic system write-in candidates would have an equal chance to get elected compared to those nominated by major parties. i don't know what the solution here is. in the current systems, those with more funds can do more campaigning. so do we need to eliminate campaigning entirely?

Not to pat ourselves on the back to hard, but the reasonable state of today comes in part as a reaction to previous tragedy.

To the extent that those forces are bound to the proprietary interests of the enterprise, the bounds of the monopoly are blurred.

I tend to think the answer is to go back to villages, albeit digital ones. Authentication only enforces that an account is accessed by the correct "user", but particularly in social media many users are bad actors of various stripes. The strongest account authentication in the world doesn't help with that.

So the question, I think, is how do we reclaim trust in a world where every kind of content can be convincingly faked? And I think the answer is by rebuilding trust between users such that we actually have reason to simply trust the users we're interacting with aren't lying to us (and that also goes for building trust in the platforms we use). In my mind, that means a shift to small federated and P2P communication since both of these enable both the users and the operators to build the network around existing real-world relationships. A federation network can still grow large, but it can do so through those relationships rather than giving institutional bad actors as easy of an entrance as anyone else.

True...but "Data Centers" is pretty much redundant here. The vast majority of ways in which politicians (in effect) give away public money to benefit private interests are guaranteed money losers for the public.

Anecdote: Back in the 1980's, my kid brother spent a few years working in a (US state) governor's Budget Office. One set of data they tracked was the Donation Multiplier for various "projects", which properly-bought politicians might do for a donor's benefit. Whether it was running a nice paved road & utilities to the donor's big plot of undeveloped land, or tax breaks for new construction, or whatever - everything had a price. Good cover stories (don't ask for $$$ for a new toxic waste dump) and a skilled lobbyist or two was always needed - but the multipliers for nice-sounding or hard-to-notice stuff were always very large.

An implementation of a basic quantum computing simulator with a minimal introduction for developers. You can think of the introduction as a requirements document for the implementation, with no complex mathematical notation, or unnecessary high-level algebra. Developers who understand complex numbers, binary strings and some probabilities should feel at home.

An expanded version of the code is available here: https://github.com/learnqc/code/tree/main/src/hume. The introduction is also expanded in the first chapters of a book, but this write-up is supposed to be standalone and help developers understand what quantum computing is. It's simpler than most people think.
Programmers discover the benefits of static linking, and then programmers discover the benefits of dynamic linking, and then programmers discover the benefits of static linking, and then...

Realistically, Amazon didn't have the scale/resources to mitigate/manage this problem for customers back in the day. It also wasn't a target like it is now. Even a decade ago, it was a comparatively small problem that was no doubt simpler to address this on a case-by-case basis.

It wouldn't be the first time Intel dropped a high performance consumer architecture and started upcycling their lower power designs instead. Netburst ran hot and slow, and the Core microarchitecture which replaced it was derived from their mobile designs instead.

Cove cores are huge and eat a lot of power and die area, which has hindered Intel significantly ever since falling behind in the foundry race. AMD's Zen architectures have been efficient with silicon, especially with the new c variants.
