Main question with vagrant was: why? It's just adding yet another layer to the stack, so another interface to learn. And if things don't work you have to deal with the “low level“ docker setup anyway. Seriously, I've never lo

I can very much recommend that approach. Working in a very small team we're using docker solely for reproducible development environments with very small footprint. Our projects are usually smaller low range backoffice sites. We&#x27

He was not complaining about the killing but about Merkel and the refugee situation. Both are quite unrelated to the shooting. Another disgusting case of short sighted populism.

> ... and the refugees We have no Information so far. But you seem to have better sources, that confirm, that each and every refugee is a terrorist. So what do you suggest? [deleted] Sorry, but stereotypes like this really make me sick.

At least you have found an opportunity for your political agitation.

What makes you so sure? Populism is on the rise. With decisions like this they just gain even more power, see Peer Wilders etc. And naive people believe in simple solutions to complex problems. They are easy to fool. Our situation now is no

On my severs I often use “sudo -s“ in a separate tmux window. I've changed my PS1 to give me a red prompt for root. Over the years I never had a situation where I accidentally did something stupid as root.

I think it was a similar thought that inspired Heidegger to write his Being and Time [1]. But I have to admit while I tried to get the basic ideas I finally gave up on all philosophy. Philosophy is a battle against the bewitchment of our

I think metaphysics is the more common technical term.

This. Blatatantly quoting myself [1]: "Experience or qualia is what the process of simulation of reality feels like. Or to put it in another way: Conciousness is the process of simulating reality." So I'd agree: If you reach

I really do, thanks. It's on my todo list now, right after Philip K. Dick's VALIS trilogy and Mark von Schlegell's Venusia.

Right, as far as I understand it that's also close to how Tononi's and Koch's Integrated Information Theory[1] try to explain conscious phenomena. In their parlance the computer would have a low value of phi. I was surprised

Dreaming is really an interesting case. I'm not sure if I'd agree that it's a weak form of consciousness. It's maybe just some sort of play that the simulator does when it's not used for the outside world. It wildly

by mh-cx 10y ago
No, because it only simulates a very small part of reality. For example it could never estimate the weather for the next 2 hours by looking at a formation of heavy clouds.

Not really a definition, but my very personal take on what conciousness is: Evolution has brought about creatures that are more successful (in regard to survival and reproduction), the more predictive power they have about their environment

As an absolute novice in genetics I wonder if you couldn't use CRISPR to supress the expression of this MagR protein and see if the animals can still find their way. If not, why not?

Getting downvoted should make you think. Maybe you suffer from a very common illness that you can find very often nowadays in Germany: pointing fingers at refugees and (ab)using them as scapegoats for whatever some think is wrong with this

I think it would help a lot if they could somehow compile a list of the likelinessnes for getting cancer from a specific sort of radiation. It should also contain the radiation that we are naturally always exposed to. Even if the values wer

There's a sequel? Or did you mean Upstream Color? It's definitely quite different and more artistic. But I want to give it a second chance.

The article misses an important point: It does not explain what definition of poverty all this is based on. There are some definitions like "people having less than 60% of the average real income". But's that's a very

Then please forgive my ignorance. I was not aware that they are so big. Even more though I'm surprised about their name. Reading it really feels weird to me.
