There's a floor on what they can charge, though: the cost of maintaining the land, the cost of labor to harvest, the cost to process the peaches and package them, the cost to ship them to the store, and the store's cost to hold th

No, because you're still in the container, and there's no route to the host's root from there. If you can orchestrate a container escape from the container's "root", then you're on to something.

I'm "old" (mid-40s) and cannot remember the last time I didn't pre-purchase a movie ticket. The movie theater I go to the most (Alamo Drafthouse in San Francisco) rarely has anyone in line at the box office when I wal

I can't find any evidence that the creators of Zig hold the views GP seems to suggest, but I think your assertion is wrong. Normal, emotionally stable people do sometimes make decisions about what businesses to patronize based on the p

Even if there was anything in private channels, the reasons stated in that forum post are alone more than enough to reject Bun's Zig changes.

The big difference here is that the C-to-Go tool was presumably deterministic: running it over and over again should produce the exact same result. You can trust that result because the human wrote the conversion tool, understood it, teste

The question isn't whether or not you'd get the same line count with a non-LLM tool. The question of whether or not it's vibe-coded depends on whether or not the committer actually reviewed and understood the new code. And

Then "vibe coding" is a useless term, if it just means "LLM-assisted coding". We might as well just say "LLM-assisted coding" or "AI coding" or whatever. As much as I find the word "vibe" g

What a weird take. I do a ton of OSS, and the act of writing code is what makes it fun for me. If I were forced to use an LLM to write all my OSS code, I would just not do it anymore.

In this case I think the current zeitgeist (at least among zoomers and younger millennials) really loves the word "vibe". Once they hear of the term "vibe coding", they just want to be able to say it, even if what they&

Wow. That xkcd was written in 2007, and part of the dialog is "didn't that [meme] die like five years ago?" Which means All Your Base, as a meme, was already getting somewhat stale by around 2002. It's hard to believe

On the other side of that coin, when airlines were heavily regulated, most people couldn't afford to fly at all. The "regulation vs. no regulation" stance is the wrong way to look at it. Airlines are still regulated, of cour

That's a really cute idealized world, but it wouldn't work in practice. The structure of free-market capitalism all but precludes it.

Right, the externalities of those road systems aren't really paid for properly, by anyone. But that's hard to do, because for many people/uses, they have to use those roads to get done what they need to do. The alternative

There absolutely is something magical about air travel! We can get places much faster and much safer than we could before. I live in California, and another part of my family lives in Maryland. Are you saying that when I want to visit my

Sure, that's fair. But often enough I see people (not accusing you of this) doing the opposite: seeing bad regulation, and drawing the conclusion that the only solution is to remove all regulation and "let the market decide"

That's not how regulation works. Or at least not how it has to work. I don't pay a flat fee for my water, electricity, or gas usage, regardless of how much I use. I pay for the gallons, kWh, and therms I actually use. (Yes, t

To me, the blank (not black) nature of the flag is the point: it's about being blinded by any ideology, even one that the artist or beholder might agree with.

My take is that it's not specifically black; that's just the monochrome nature of the artwork. The fact that it has no design or color on it means that it can be a stand-in for anything, depending on who's looking.
