I guess your dainty, utopian senses are irrationally offended by something that works. Some types of virtualization offer hard isolation guarantees while cgroups, chroot, jails and the like provide pretend isolation lacking hard guarantees about either security or resource limits. KVM is tiny and so is Virtualization.framework. If you want perfect "containers", you're not going to find them anywhere because they try solve a problem (convenience, speed, and isolation) at the wrong level, in the wrong way. Type 1 Xen and VMware are the gold standards supporting all sorts of deduplication, replication, and migration options that containers can't touch. Type 2 Kata Containers is another option out there with stronger guarantees with the same interface as CRI. If these don't work for you, write a better solution that can divvy disk IOPS and latency, process manipulation, memory shares and bandwidth, network bandwidth and priority, and VFS fairly while sandboxing misbehaving processes from taking down other containers on the same host. I submit that these are essentially impossible goals with the architecture of Linux, which is why variants of virtualization providing paravirtualized guests is generally superior in providing service guarantees because there is out-of-band management exterior to fallible, DoSable containers.

The UKs planning system is pretty much unique. Almost no other country in the world operates a planning system where every local authority basically gets to make up their own rules around planning, and where it’s practically impossible for national government to enforce simple things like minimum house building quotas.

If you want to understand why building infrastructure in the UK is so difficult, then you need to look no further than our planning system. It has uniquely managed to completely strangle infrastructure building. Sure NIBYism exists in the U.S., and there’s lots of planning red tape, and plenty of very poorly considered planning rules (such as single use zoning, and a strange obsession with single family homes). But in comparison to the UK, it’s practically pleasant to work with.

Of course it helps that the U.S. has a crap ton of spare land just handing around. Much easier to build a new shopping mall, highway or suburb on a completely empty plot with no neighbours in sight. But in the UK you, you can’t swing a cat without hitting an existing building, or actively worked farm.

The benefit is that you'd only have to do it for the parts of the data that are actively manipulated, which might be far less than the entirety of the data structure. Also, you can easily forward a copy elsewhere in the original format.

But if you know you're not going to have endianness problems, you can just skip that step entirely.
I had a perfectly pleasant experience opting out. The agent simply smiled at me, asked a question to verify that I was the person on the ID I had handed him, and off I went.

It was much easier and less gropey than opting out of the mm wave scans.

True. But Docker comes with a lot of complexity. And it comes with a meaningful performance hit on macOS and Windows. And it doesn't work at all on Android/iOS.

It's so sad that running software on Linux is so wildly complicated and unreliable than things like Docker had to be invented. :(

How are you calculating the total cost?
I've always interpreted the definition of storage as arbitrarily large, not specifically infinite. The universe, after all, is finite. The "well, acshually" arguments aren't interesting, because they're 100% abstract.
Not once you start getting into the range of hundreds of megabytes or more, which accounts for most situations where I'd use a binary format in the first place.

I'd read TFA, and toyed with writing a critique / response to it. Fundamentally I find the methodology of meta-analysis in this circumstance to be rather badly flawed.

I'm reminded of the quote attributed to Einstein that there was a letter circulated with the signatures of many scientists claiming Einstein's own theory was wrong. Had that been the case, he replied, one would have been enough.

<https://hsm.stackexchange.com/a/3485>

That doesn't entirely fit the circumstances of the FT article, but to critique a concept on the basis of a wide range of publications tends to muddle rather than clarify the issue. Given a wide range of authors, some are most assuredly going to make poor arguments, poorly substantiate them, or simply be piling on to some bandwagon or another. Rather than critiquing the literature at large, it's sufficient, as with Einstein, to address the strongest cases.

I suspect an availability heuristic in that meta-analysis and textual analysis are easier to produce. Cutting to the crux of a fallacious or mistaken argument or belief is harder work.

I'd be more impressed with a clear statement of what (if any) consensus or most widely-accepted claims or arguments are made, and what if any counterarguments have been made to those. I'm aware of a set of authors who've made compelling cases: Herman Daly, Howard Odum, Nicholas Georgescu-Roegen, Robert Underwood (R.U.) Ayres, Steve Keen, William Ophuls, and Vaclav Smil most particularly. For virtually all of them, the argument against sustained growth is that economic growth of the past several centuries has been highly predicated on a vast one-time input of fossil fuels (and numerous associated advances), and that the withdrawal of that energy source even with other potential substitutes (solar, wind, geothermal, nuclear, biomass, hydroelectric, for the most part) will require some reduction of total material wealth.

There are counteraguments. I've spent a good part of the past decade or two looking into those. Ophuls in particular has tracked many of those down in his books, particularly Ecology and the Politics of Scarcity, originally published in 1977 and revised in 1992. Among its other strengths, Ophuls does a deep and broad read of the literature, including the most widely touted of the cornucopians (Julian Simon and Herman Kahn most notably). The bibliography is worth publication in its own right.

What's struck me most of the cornucopian counterarguments is that most seem to 1) have only occurred to economists and similar proponents after the notion of limits itself had been proposed, 2) the arguments for them are long on assertion and short on both facts and causal mechanisms grounded in scientific principles, and 3) most of the discussion seems strongly rhetorical rather than dialectical. A weakness I'd extend to the FT piece here.

That's still not the full justice I'd prefer to apply here, but it'll have to do for now. I'd be happy to respond to questions or rebuttals.
Was the instruction really much more complex than eg some byte-string comparison instruction? For string comparison you’re doing a simpler operation at each step, and the accumulation is much simpler, but maybe you have short-circuiting too. POLY corresponds to the following C, I think:

float poly(int d, float x, float *c) {
c+=d;
float y = *c;
while(d--)
y = *c-- + y * x;
return y;
}

I also don’t see why you consider this to be the CISCiest instruction from an architecture that includes a substring-search instruction, a vaguely printf-like instruction with its own mini instruction set for the pattern strings it takes, and an instruction to do polynomial division in the ring of polynomials over F_2 (ok this is just CRC)
Microsoft MakeCode Arcade is terrific. It has both a block interface and real Typescript under the hood, and you can switch back and forth anytime.
What I find the most mind-blowing is that you can do a diffie-hellman-merkle key exchange in a room full of people, everyone can hear you, but the two participants are the only ones in possession of the encryption key after exchanging three messages (once to establish the parameters, once to convey one computed number in each direction). The math is simple enough to do by heart, at least as a demonstration (of course, it's not possible to compute numbers in your head that are so large a computer, doing billions of calculations per second, cannot simply iterate over all possible values and thus break it; but the principle works)

Didn't get this in school unfortunately. They made us implement DES S-boxes iirc and Caesar cipher breaking... all very relevant and foundational knowledge for non-mathematicians who will never design a secure cipher

> Although it's a good thing that a good deal of Americans have plenty of guns to defend themselves (unlike us, who reside outside of the US)

Getting a gun is trivial about anywhere, btw, and in EU or latam ammunition enough for self defense is little trouble either. The fgc-9 and 'but what about ammo' are excellent education for curious Europeans.

In practice I assure you people don't notice one concealing a gun (especially in gun naive places) and for anyone who isn't a moron, it isn't pulled out unless they're trading a casket for a court docket.
Drugs are sent to you and intercepted. You claim, though your lawyer, someone was just using your house as a drop and you have no idea who ordered them. They get your computer, you have Tor installed. Prosecutor argues Tor is only used for CP and drugs. Is that enough to convict? Maybe.

If Tor was ubiquitous obviously not, but its very niche, and looking at a chart of use, its pretty much only used for drugs and CP. There are privacy use cases, but just like using crypto as a currency and not a speculative gambling investment, its in the small minority of uses.

Unfortunately the macron is the one missing dead-key accent on the US "ABC" layout. It's easy enough to hit the globe key when this comes up, but it annoys me a bit that Opt-y is ¥, and Shift-Opt-Y is Á, which is a duplicate: Opt-e-A will also produce it. I'd be happier if Opt-y was the macron dead key and Shift-Opt-Y took over for ¥: I can go a year without needing the Yen symbol, but it makes sense to have it. I don't think the English layout needs two ways to type Á though, it's excessive.
Interesting! I wonder if it's saying one is better than the other? Maybe I should take up more things. I guess I've had the fear of overwhelming myself, but perhaps it'll help!

Good feature.
It’s an ironic comment to make, given the U.S. was literally built using railways. Passenger railways covered the entire U.S. long before highways ever did.

The only reason why passenger rail doesn’t exist today, is because the U.S. chose to stop investing in rail, and instead chose to only invest in car infrastructure. There’s was a huge period where auto manufacturers were buying up local rail and trams systems, for the sole purpose of running them into the ground, and forcing people into cars instead.

There’s absolutely no reason you can’t build high speed passenger rail today. High speed rail takes up less space than a highway, for far higher speeds and capacities. And building high speed rail using highway style construction in one of the most cost effective ways of building passenger rail (it’s how countries like France can build high speed rail at such low costs).

For some reason nobody thinks it’s silly to link up U.S. cities with highways, but for some reason, rail is too hard (despite being the faster, higher throughput, and more economical, form of transportation).
I'm of the opposite opinion,that recording is a liberty and the right to mass record and identify people is a healthy sign of private free speech rights. I feel banning it would be dystopic. Where I disagree is the use of government at all in many of the capacities taking advantage of this such as TSA, DHS, CBP etc as they are essentially unhinged violent pirates.
I think the author's premise is flawed even if the post comes off as good natured fun :)

I doubt they will host your content graveyard for free in perpetuity. I've seen Google get rid of more for less and given the horror stories and lack of recourse with the big G I would not trust them to do more than be my email provider (and I'm working on kicking that habit too).

That said it's pretty clear Dropbox policy changed and quoting a forum response from 6 years ago seems flimsy, maybe even disingenuous. That it's still the top response on Google surely says more about Google?
> Windows ARM -- still borked in SOOO many ways -- and its 10+ years old now.

Internally, nearly 20 years. It was kept alive for a long time by a single individual as a side project. When I first got out of college I actually helped update tests that were being used for it (I maintained the ARM compiler test harness, and it was being used for some Windows on ARM stuff as well).

Microsoft has never went fully in on arm, whereas Apple was willing to burn bridges and start brand new.
memcpy is only defined for non-overlapping memory regions (otherwise you should use memmove), but many platforms use memmove for memcpy anyway to avoid breaking user programs in unpredictable ways. Apparently this has also led to some arguments and glibc version incompatibilities (https://www.win.tue.nl/~aeb/linux/misc/gcc-semibug.html).
WinXP was mostly a cosmetic upgrade on Win2K right? AFAIR there strictly were no technical reasons why Win2K wouldn't be able to run XP software, only stuff like version checks and what not

Hezbollah exists as an Iranian proxy, and Iran has repeatedly stated that their goal is to wipe out Israel. But yes, alliances with neighbors is definitely something Israel should pursue, as is working towards peace with the Palestinians. That might not work to dissuade Iran from wanting to destroy Israel, but it will certainly help - and is the morally right thing to do anyways.

> From what I have head, the idea the Palestinians were ever actually offered a state may be a myth [...]

It absolutely isn't a myth. It was widely known and accepted by most people that the Palestinians walked away from very good deals, probably the best Israel can do. I'm not sure why there's a modern movement to change that knowledge, when reading the accounts of most people surrounding the negotiations gives a pretty clear picture.

Specifically, Barak offered a decent deal in 2000, the Clinton parameters of around 2001 were an even better proposal that seemed to give the Palestinians almost everything they wanted, and Olmert made a proposal that was really, really good. The Palestinians walked away from these deals without any alternative offer, without saying what would work for them. Don't trust Israel's word for it - trust Clinton's! Or trust numerous other US negotiators.

> [...] Rabing was assassinated and that torpedoed the process.

This is wrong, he was assassinated in 1995, all the offers I talked about happened afterwards, from 2000 to 2008. Israelis voted multiple times for people who vowed to pursue a peace process, and even Sharon, who was a very hawkish PM, ended up doing the Gaza withdrawal.

What really torpedoed the peace process was that Israeli steps towards peace, including the Oslo process that founded the PA and gave them semi-control over the land, was met with the second intifada's terror attacks. Israelis saw steps towards peace being met with more violence, not less.

The same happened again with the Gaza withdrawal - the hawkish Israelis warned that withdrawing the army and giving Palestinians full control of Gaza would end with them using it as a terror base, and that's exactly what happened. Again, to Israelis - a step towards giving Palestinians more control ended with far, far more violence.

> Netanyahu has never really seemed interested in peace [...]

This is absolutely true, and the major correct criticism of Israel is in its actions under Netanyahu over the last 15ish years. Israel has not only not continued to pursue peace because of the destruction of the Israeli left, but under Netanyahu, actively thwarted peace in many ways, weakening the PA at the expense of Hamas to keep the conflict going.

As the stronger party, I think Israel has a moral duty to pursue peace, and to help foster leaders that can bring peace.

When you laughed at the idea that the government has no speech rights, I almost thought you were about to say something coherent.
The jurisprudence of the first amendment already makes many distinctions that are not there in the text of the amendment itself. This is inevitable - rights conflict with other rights and even with the same right as exercised by someone else.

> why is the impasse "pathological"? Are you just throwing in a pejorative term?

The current jurisprudence is a pathlogical (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corner_case) interpretation that clamps the solution space to maximal commercial/corporate rights at the expense of individual rights.

The example of the press is actually quite poignant. The current legal regime neuters the free speech rights of most of the press. People can be fired for writing articles saying things their employer does not want to be said. They can even be fired for saying things in their own personal time that their employer does not want to be said! The end result is greatly diminished rights for the individuals making up the press, in order to support greatly increased rights for the controlling owners of the press.
Firing the teams that manage moderation and letting Coca-Cola and Nike paid for ads show along side Nazi and porn content, basically allowing the ad side of the platform to go to shit, is actually much of the reason for the advertiser exodus.
