Everything's part of the problem. It's why it's so hard to find "the thing" that causes high US healthcare costs. Every single part of it is more expensive than it should be, including doctors, and it all adds up to

The punchline was that, IIRC, it's an Electron app. Also PG and others were evidently very upset that, aside from just laughing at the obvious humor of the situation, lots people expressed wishes—for a bunch of reasons; e.g its most vi

Not supporting it, just noting that gambling + esports is already the status quo. I find it pretty gross, but after getting a glimpse into that, and who's bankrolling and advocating which things, et c., the whole space made a lot more

I don't think I've been advancing the idea that this should have been consequence-free. I just think some people (who, fortunately, haven't had much insight into "the system") may not be aware how the burden, financ

Yeah, it was worse than that, but waaaaaay under something that would get people to say "lock them up and throw away the key!" Also wasn't any kind of hate-related or vulnerable-group-targeting thing, of the kind that would g

It's less about sympathy than about how you structure a justice system if you don't want more crime in the future. A lot of things about our justice system work very much counter to how you'd do things if your main goal was

Our pediatrician told us that, too, but also said that confirming it with scans costs mid-five-figures (in the US) so nobody actually diagnoses it that way, but instead with surveys and self-evualation and such.

That may work sometimes, but most of the time you're going to run into one of two problems, and possibly both at the same time: 1) Micromanaging is often co-morbid with other bad-boss habits. These may make attempts at "managing&q

Gambling is already a huge part of esports. Huge. Getting a glimpse into that world helped me make sense of the whole phenomenon. (as in: oh that's why there's so much money in esports)

I only know of Twitch from reading about it, but it was my impression that's exactly what Twitch is. (well, one of the things it is, and a major one, anyway)

Docker on Linux runs in a VM? No. Systemd docker-replacement on a non-systemd Linux would need to run in a VM, though. Systemd-docker-replacement: works only on systemd-Linux. Tooling for any other arrangement, including non-systemd linux,

The nice thing about docker is that you can use the same tooling on lots of operating systems, not just that it wraps some Linux functionality. Sure, it may involve using a VM, depending on the system, but I still get to just run "dock

Yeah, I don't manage dev dependencies for projects in home-brew, just software for which I am a mere user. I probably wouldn't use apt and friends for those, either—not directly on my workstation anyway, maybe in some pinned-OS-ve
