Docker can resolve dependencies in a very similar manner to nix, via multi-stage builds. Each FROM makes one dependency available. However, you can only have direct access to the content from one of the dependencies resolved this way. T

It's actually how nix works by default. When you pull in a dependency, you are actually pulling in a full description of how to build it. And it pulls in full descriptions of how to build its dependencies and so on. The only reason nix

Docker doesn't give you the proper tooling to not have to use e.g. apt-get in your Dockerfiles. For that reason, one might as well conflate them.
154.
by clhodapp 3y ago
Most Docker builds are not remotely deterministic or reproducible, as most of them pull in floating versions of their dependencies. This means that the same Dockerfile is likely to produce different results today than it did yesterday.

I'm aware that car tires create a lot (most?) of the microplastic pollution in the Bay Area, but are you sure it's most of all pollution? Do you possibly have a citation?

Why do you say that static type systems are a "premature optimization"? On its face, that seems like a (very spicy) opinion that's been stated as fact.

I went to Death Valley in early January. I didn't kayak but I did see the temporary lake. It's absolutely beautiful!

Who said it was an unmoving object? Maybe I missed something in the story, but I got the sense that this happened in motion. The towed truck would have essentially been moving forward at an angle, hanging across the lane boundary.

If that's the model, it sounds like the path would be to burn money to stay right behind NVIDIA and wait for them to become complacent and stumble technically, creating the opportunity to leapfrog them. Keeping up could be very expensi

Aren't space heaters and emergency heat essentially the same thing? It seems strange for the city to ban space heaters when they really ought not to be worse than any other resistive heater

The issue for me is: The button you click in the online store says: "Buy". So you bought it. The industry can make up whenever bullshit "license agreement" they want and they can even corruptly get the government to take

It would be neat if you could at least provide expressions (that can't hit any actual tables) to compute bounds for how many rows are expected to come back from any particular row source.

Interesting. I could imagine Uber mortgaging their whole market cap to acquire Waymo as a lifeline to staying relevant in the long term. They would essentially be "buying" what has always been their long-term product vision.

I've heard each Jag costs ~$250k fully loaded... that's a lot of ~$14-on-average trips before breakeven My math says that's about 25 trips per day to break even in two years (modulo maintenance costs).

Posting workarounds is quite fraught because as soon as you say that there's a workaround, upstream responses tend to immediately become "has workaround, wontfix"

Ditching hyperthreading in server processors would create an interesting pricing/communication challenge for cloud providers. Currently, they tend to sell single hyperthreaded cores as if they were two cores.

Given its growing profile, it seems like Valve had two options: either "legitimize" the project by giving them a license, like they did with Black Mesa, or take it down. I guess that the first option was cut off by the use of the

This doesn't seem to be that big of a problem, just something to know about and keep track of. First, some framing: Asynchronous scheduling is about sharing scarce resources efficiently. It allows you to keep your hardware busy without

Just require that apps have to (non-exclusively) support Apple billing to be in the Apple store. Then you can (personally) choose to never break the glass to install something from outside the store.

Why shouldn't they? I know for sure that if it were possible to sideload software onto my Switch or PS5, that would definitely benefit me as a consumer. The fact that I have a reasonably powerful computer attached to my TV but can&#x

Do you mean to say that if non-solicitation agreements were entirely unenforceable, consulting companies would see all of their best consultants poached by clients?

by clhodapp 3y ago
Non-solicitation agreements are like super-illegal in California. See the "wage fixing" case against Apple, Google, Adobe, Pixar, Intuit, and Intel.

I wonder if the OpenAI board will shut down the for-profit to avoid handing the tech to Microsoft now...

Due to Microsoft's very generous licensing agreements, this may be the best shot Altman, Brockman, and Nadella have to launder the technology that is currently owned by the OpenAI non-profit. If they manage to poach key staff, they may

The security model of TLS is chained to the DNS. What one proves by holding a TLS cert is that one owns a given domain, no more no less (I mean there's EV certs but no one cares about EV certs). You won't ever have that with brows
