If we want disabled people to not be treated as outsiders, then it seems to me that disabled people need to be integrated into as many aspects of society as possible, including school, so that kids have disabled people as peers from as early an age as is practical. If some of us have to suffer the consequences of bullying or unfair treatment, then hopefully that's a temporary state, and the fact that more people have interacted with us from a young age is a step on the road to equality. Of course, the reason I can say that is that my experiences in mainstream schools were mild, in retrospect.

Yes, thank you for answering on my behalf. To underscore this, the decision is whether to set up all of your dependencies and configurations with a tool like bash, or to set it all up within Docker, which involves setting up Docker itself, which sometimes involves setting up (and paying for) things like registries and orchestration tools.

I might tweak the apartment metaphor because I think it's generous to imply that, like a hotel, Docker does everything for you. Maybe Dockerless development is like living in an apartment and working on a boat, while using Docker is like living and working on a houseboat.

There is one thing I definitely prefer Docker for, and that's running images that were created by someone else, when little to no configuration is required. For example, running Postgres locally can be nicer with Docker than without, especially if you need multiple Postgres versions. I use this workflow for proofs of concepts, trials, and the like.

I am generally more optimistic about technology if it's generally beneficial and not targeted at blind folks. If we just happen to ambiently benefit. Self driving cars and things like Neuralink fall into these categories.

Blind folks are a small percentage of the population and we don't have a lot of money. So the incentives aren't usually there to help us.

Well, for one thing OpenMP is a c/c++ library, and chili and rayon are rust libraries.

It's probably possible to use openmp from rust, but the interface probably isn't as nice, you would need some kind of translation layer from rust closures and iterators to the OpenMP API
Good point. And while I too accept a state to have a monopoly on things, especially those you mention, secrets aren't those.

Because we all have them, need them, and because a society cannot function without them - there are many books and papers written about the "nothing to hide fallacy". We all really need some privacy. How much, is a different question, though. So in this discussion: maybe we don't need the level of "TOR by default for everyone", IDK.

Knowing the difference between bacteria being living organisms and viruses being not-quite-alive does not qualify as a "deep understanding" though.

> Hezbollah is a legal and popular party in Lebanon

Hezbollah is an Iran-backed militia whose sole purpose is the destruction of Israel.

> and is at war with another country

No, they're not. They're a militia.

Here is a timeline of major Hezbollah terrorist activities. Left out, of course, is the constant barrage of missiles rained down on northern Israel by Hezbollah. I copy-pasta'd this from another source for convenience:

1983: Hezbollah sends suicide truck bomb against US embassy and murders 63 people

Also 1983: Hezbollah murders 241 American soldiers and 58 French soldiers with another suicide truck bomb

1984: Hezbollah murders 18 American soldiers with bombing in Spain

Also 1984: Hezbollah murders 11 people with another truck bomb against US embassy

1992: Hezbollah murders 29 people with suicide bombing of Israeli Embassy in Argentina

1994: Hezbollah murders 85 Jewish Argentinian civilians in another suicide truck bomb

1996: Hezbollah murders 19 American Air Force personnel with bombing of Khobar Towers in Saudi Arabia

2005: Hezbollah murders 22 civilians in assassination on Lebanese PM

2011 to present: Helped Assad murder up to half a million Syrian civilians, carrying out starvation sieges and ethnic cleansing against Sunni towns and cities

>I don't think we can ever return to "every node being a peer" in any case, not when any typical network will have a firewall that denies incoming connections.

Forgive me if I'm missing something here, but how is that any different WRT IPv4 vs. IPv6?

In both cases, except for those services one wishes to expose to the Internet (assuming one has a use-case for that), all incoming connections should be blocked, IPv4 or IPv6.

Or are you arguing that NAT masquerade confers some sort of security benefit on one's network that precludes the necessity of blocking incoming connections?

I'd argue that NAT (N:1 or 1:1) doesn't provide any security benefit. Nor does IPv4+NAT reduce the complexity of firewall rules as compared with IPv6.

In fact, I'd posit that NAT makes things more complicated and not less. That said, you can use NAT/NPT[0] with IPv6 (along with ULA/SLAAC) if you really want.

As such, I'd say that IPv6 provides the best and worst of IPv4, plus additional benefits.

IF we ever get completely off IPv4, that will be a good day.

You can use docker swarm just for single VPS.

- install docker
- run docker swarm init
- create yaml that describes your stack (similar to docker-compose)
- run docker stack deploy

That's basically it. My go-to solution when I need to run some service on single VPS.

If you want to just run a single container, you can also do this with `docker service create image:tag`

Public transit is fantastic for my independence. Most other countries I've been to grant me a greater degree of freedom than I have here in the US. NYC is decent for this. Stop lights and subways help me a lot.

Of all the cities I've been to, Shanghai is where I've had the most independence (Tokyo and Osaka are tied for second.) I could often travel fully underground or using skyways. Subways everywhere that were easy to navigate. They had the blind lines on the ground, though they did sometimes run me into trees and parked bikes.

Yeah, maybe. I don't know how large the slice of the Pivotal Tracker userbase you'd be able to retain even if you had a perfect clone. I bet it would be notably larger than you imagine it would be... it's my understanding that it has some pretty rabid fans that used it.
Eh, not really. You can futz with the probability distribution, like a fast neutron will cause a different distribution of fission products than a slow one... but it is still a very random process. You can't control it like an expert at a billiards table. Especially the strong force mediated interactions between particles in the nucleus. Some people just won't believe you though.

I think SP or similar need to exist for it to be possible to make decisions and prioritise, but issues arise when part of the company, e.g. leadership or managers don't understand that SP are more like guesses with risk and probability involved and they will be disappointed when the end result won't be as accurate.

So naturally people will come to despise it because managers will want a number and to hold you to that number. A strict number can't be given, but intuitive guess which has certain probability of being in a certain range according to experience can be.
I'd agree, but also note that plenty of remote jobs were and still are ad hoc. The difference is adults have more agency to improve their own situation even if their work doesn't make any concessions to the nature of fully remote work; children have very little agency over their schooling.

How do I find jobs that use the R language? It's impossible to search the letter "R" on linkedIn or Indeed without getting a bunch of unrelated job postings

"R" is the only programming language I know and I can't find a job that uses a R because job search engines don't allow you to sort by skill

"R language" is the closest substitute on linkedin but the results are still a jumbled mess of jobs, some looking moreso for other skills (SQL/Python)

I know R-heavy jobs exist but finding them on LinkedIn is virtually impossible
The best examples I can give:

1. College educated people smoke less on average. This is true regardless of income even though typically less income correlates to more smoking.

2. In poor neighborhoods, when the number of residents without college drops below a certain threshold (like 4 percent maybe), crime skyrockets. The neighborhood stops being merely poor and becomes a dangerous slum.

A liberal arts education is widely scoffed at. There's some joke about what kind of careers different majors lead to and the punchline is that liberal arts major say "Would you like fries with that?" which is shorthand in this day and age for "You will probably be drowning in college debt and a wage slave working to pay off your student loans while living in Mom's basement if you are lucky enough to have supportive parents."

But they are called liberal arts because they are supposed to be liberating. They are supposed to free and empower you to live well and know how to cope effectively with crap life throws at you.

The Clemente Course is intended to be a free liberal arts college education for people living with terrible circumstances like generational poverty or in prison and has been taught in prison. It was founded on the theory that the right kind of education is the antidote to these kinds of intractable problems that routinely fail to be resolved by throwing money at them.

https://www.clementecourse.org/

I homeschooled my twice exceptional sons and a primary goal of mine was making sure my extremely bright but socially challenged children didn't wind up in jail. I provided them a humanities education defined as "learning how to live effectively with the inconvenient, inescapable fact of their own humanity and that of other people."

I'm a huge fan of liberal arts education and my AA is in Humanities. Yes, I'm very well aware it doesn't give you a lot of marketable skills to make bank promptly upon graduation.

I also have a Certificate in GIS from probably the most prestigious GIS program in the world and it promised everyone good salaries in short order which never materialized for me.

I don't regret it and it wasn't a waste of time or money but the historic tendency for college to correlate to good salaries is probably rooted in the fact that until they decided to milk poor people for student loans interest and turn a generation of college graduates into over educated wage slaves, a college degree was a proxy for "Someone with adequate resources and mojo and drive who knows what they want to do."

It wasn't the degree per se that made them successful. They had what it took to get the degree and that correlated strongly to having what it took to establish a serious career that paid well.

A sheepskin is a necessary but insufficient prerequisite for some careers. It's not a guarantee you will succeed though and someone somewhere along the way imagined it was and many people are suffering horribly because of it.

Have you attempted to make greenfield software written in 2024 support only IPv4 addresses and be deliberately incompatible with IPv6 addresses? It's a lot more work than just using what the standard libraries give you and just getting support for v4 and v6.
