The problem is that the Docker runtime doesn't actually run on MacOS. It runs on a Linux VM running alongside MacOS. This can make a few things complex enough that requires changes to applications which interface with docker, especiall

Is this simply an apriori argument? Do you have any evidence to back up your claim beyond your reasoning? I don't find it very persuasive, and based on my own experiences being a generalist for the majority of my career, I can say it c

This cannot be the case. More than 5% of the male population is old, weak, and/or disabled that it can't possibly be true that 95% of all men have stronger arms than 95% of women. And if you include children I don't see how t

I don't understand how this is any way monopolistic. There's an enormous amount of competition in the gaming space. If anything, this just makes Microsoft into more of a conglomerate: something we should be encouraging and is good

My best friend was just hit by a car on a 40mph road and had to be hospitalized with a traumatic brain injury and seizures that he's still not recovered from (and maybe never will). I'm not cycling again in my city until we start

The amount of combusted material that one is exposed to makes a big difference in cancer rates (and other disease rates).[1] I imagine that this is orders of magnitude lower for marijuana smokers than tobacco smokers, especially in this era

To be clear, the US is the largest oil producer in the world, and is a net exporter of oil.[1][2] (Shale is a large part of that growth in the last decade) The US benefits when oil prices increase. If you want to speculate on the geopolitic

Agree! Doing basic operations with git really isn't hard at all. For most people, they don't need to worry about how git actually works, they just need to learn how to clone, checkout, create branches, push, and rebase/merge

The problem fundamentally with the mask debate is that surgical masks barely make a difference in transmission. If we were serious about mask wearing to prevent respiratory viral transmission, we would be wearing well-fit N95s like 3M Auras
