Which is why I think you should not try to build generic images like this. I looked at the source and it seems like s lot of work had been put into creating a fragile mess. After having been burned several times by images I prefer writing m

It is a lot of work but it is work that for the most part should not have been done. I took a quick look at the code (since I know PG very well) and I would not recommend anyone to use that mess off Bash code which configures PostgreSQL in

FB products are low quality as is 37 signals. I don't think you necessarily need geniuses to build good products but your examples are bad.

Seems mostly off topic to the article. I think system containers should be implemented in user space. They are not about security theatre but about getting a sandboxed environment which feels like a real/virtual machine but is lighter

The reason it is a bad idea is because XML, XSLT and related standards are almost impossible to implement. I don't think there is any non-broken implementation of it. The idea behind it is interesting but the actual standards and libra

Cursive is essentially just a shorthand. It is just a standardized way of writing fast while sacrificing some readability. So, yes, now that the world no longer uses crusive that much you might as well pick another standard.

Yeah, it is usually not about blaming the engineers in my experience. It is about so they can make a descion they want to make without having to think too hard or take any accountability. If nobody knew at the time it was bad everyone can j

> Voter registration requires proof of eligibility, poll books, signatures, and address checks are used for verification. And how is that less of a barrier than requiring an ID? Just fix so that it is easy to get an ID like most other co

Mostly same way. Drop off ballot boxes are vulnerable to insiders while election day voting isn't really. It is much easier to have tons of volunteers watch the votes on election day compared yo watching votes for e.g. a couple of week

Same day results should be more than good enough and that is possible with hand counting in most of the world.

In person voting on election day makes replacing people's votes much harder. You only need to compromise a handful of people who guard the ballots othewise. The ratio of votes per staff guarding is much lower on election day in at leas

This goes to show neither party is interested in a working society. I find republicans a lot worse but as you say of the democrats actually cared they would have done like most of the rest of the world and made sure IDs are easy to get.

What is the point then? Why introduce a machine where none is needed. In most countries all votes are counted twice by his d and the initial voubt finishes in a few hours.

I suspect it might be neopagan wishful thinking. There is no knowledge of any such practices among the Norse at least. There is some weak connection between runes and magic through Odin but from what we know runes were used for every day st

Not an expert on the matter, just a Swede but it was used about pirates in general from any country in medieval Swedish and I think Icelandic. And it was used in period English and Frisian sources too, though there it might not have been ab

Viking just meant raider/pirate. > both pagan, both had runes and somesuch, built similar ships, so as to say they had more in common than the raiding. No, they did not have runes. The runes were only used by various Germanic people

Sweden became literate during the 1600s with most people being able to read at the end of the century and the elite were certainly literate before then.
