There are people making a killing, but in the traditional style, where the very small number of people at the top make a killing and everyone else does not.

Actually, the rideshare folks usually (depending of course on location and personal preference) are after the airport drives. It's the onesie-twosie "bar-hopping" short trips that they don't like.

Those repairs are the deeply-embedded, systemic problems that creep up and ambush you one day before work, forcing you to decide between a $1k car repair -- often the barest minimum-cost repair you can find and negotiate -- or forking over

This rent-seeking behavior is amplified in its ridiculousness because of how expensive DoorDash is to begin with.

This is quintessential Swedish sense of humor, the doctors AND the king dying before either of the twins.

It's interesting to me that it seems mostly only a very recent trend that these sorts of basic techniques (which fall under the category of intelligence known as OSINT -- Open Source INTelligence) of identification and verification are

Mismanagement. Let me have Rome for but a single eight-hour workday.

You have either deliberately misrepresented "Docker" in your post, or don't know enough about the vulnerability (and the affected software, runc ) to make the claims you are making. The vulnerability was in runc, and Docker

> If I yell insults at you, you are saying that doesn't mean anything? And if you get insulted, it is your own fault? Yes. You should check out Seneca, and/or Epictetus.

Almost every day for years and years, since the 90s. Someone here mentioned it as a kind of shibboleth and I hope this information gets to the right kind of people but doesn't attract too much attention. There are just too few useful s

ZNC runs in docker and is highly configurable, mature, and well-maintained.

Interesting you mention these channels. As a longtime IRC user, Freenode's #javascript was or has been one of the least enjoyable channels on the whole network over the last five years or more. I only lurked in there but it was so bad

If this had been written by anyone else, I would not have read it in full, let alone considered its theses. The idea(s) seemed abhorrently trivial at first but in the end, as with many things of this nature, I am -- badum-psh! -- not so mil

Sure. To sort of preface this here by ruining my credibility, I was once previously witness to an "actual" UFO, before I was in the military (in the company of several others including a police officer, however still unexplained).

For my part, as no one special in particular, I've seen information and intelligence tools available to line unit leadership which were well ahead of their time. As well, I have seen technology at work in the field during missions whic

Shift the goalposts some more. The post I replied to made a point and gave an example. I added another example.

I became interested in the air campaigns of WW2 only recently, after (re)discovering a family member's service as B-17 bomber pilot. Having fought in combat myself, there's one story from the Battle of Britain which made me immedi

The problem with Facebook and other shithole social media is that these networks promote Pavlov strategy which is actually really awful for any kind of discussion. Before the internet, using this strategy socially was called "gossip&qu

This is what happens when engineering decisions are ceded to marketing wanks and MBA bros.

I am an autodidact with programming and math with no specific training on Laplace Transforms and as usual with videos of this nature, I do a lot of pausing and rewinding, but I did come out the other side understanding the concepts explaine

Wow! Thanks for posting this. I had no idea Mattermost had done work to solve this problem.

Actually, this is not true. It's a well-known problem that "uncontacted tribes" actually suffer from continual outside influence, with people living near them actively trying to "civilize" them, or people with zero

Weird you mention Up, as I was thinking of that throughout the whole video, and wondering when the next one is.

But Boeing's problem isn't an innovation problem. Boeing's problem is ceding engineering decisions to marketing wanks and MBA bros.

To add anecdote to the data in a sibling comment, I was in the infantry for many years, deployed many times, saw lots of combat. The US government would have a big problem on its hands if any part of it ordered the US military to take prope

In general I agree that it's wrong to say "always" or "never" in any context, and especially with something as complex as human social behavior. However if you'll allow me a bit of anecdote, I've found tha

If anyone is interested in learning a little more about the 6502, Ben Eater recently did a video about it [0]. Also just in general if you hadn't heard of his channel and are reading this comment, you'll definitely enjoy what he d

This is stoicism though. To process things instead of holding them inside, bottling them up, or putting them off such that they salt our enjoyment of life. However there's a social component of this feelings-sharing which is the subt
