You might like systemd's run command, it's a hidden little gem that basically does what your tool does--it turns some CLI params into a transient service file: https://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd&#x2F

Wrong, by 2030 there will be a lot less coastal area habitable in Hawaii: https://climate.hawaii.gov/hi-facts/sea-level-rise/ If you think the great lake region is too cold or wintery, well I got some bad and&#x2F

Buy some property next to or on the great lakes, like in Michigan's upper peninsula. Hawaii and many, many coastal areas of the US will be underwater in the coming decades as oceans rise. A lot of climate crisis aware folks in the kn

That's wild to see 10 year car loans. But on the other hand I also saw some high-end Cadillacs are north of $150k brand new, so some folks are really going to do anything to conspicuously consume. I can't fathom spending so much

I don't think you understand how new cars are sold in the US. You can't click buttons and order the car from the website, you have to work with a dealer and convince them it's worth their time to order a car for you. I got s

I just went to Toyota's site and mid range V6 Camry with a few options like navigation, driving assistance, etc. is over $45k sticker price. If you want a hybrid it's over $50k. For a Camry!

Goooooooood luck driving off a dealer lot with a $22k Toyota! Seriously, if you can do it then good on you! But back in the real world the on the lot availability of cars is abysmal and most makes are sold out for months of backlog. Like

Not nearly as much as inflation. Groceries alone are up something like 40% in the last 2-3 years. Your and everyone else's wages have not risen that fast on the whole.

There is a _LOT_ of debt being added, household debt is up to something like 17 trillion dollars from like under 10 trillion pre pandemic. IMHO vehicles are huge drivers of debt. There are almost no cars under $30k now, and the average sal

Your kernel is fine at managing the container root filesystem and paging in and out parts as necessary. It's not just loading gigabytes of root fs into memory and calling it good.

No a process running in docker or on your host is going to use the same amount of RAM. There is no RAM dedicated to a running container on Linux--it's just a process that's flagged with some metadata to tell the kernel that it sh

Again, it's integrated in vs code and GitHub codespaces. If you open your project in vs code it detects the devcontainer config and automatically launches the container using docker, connects vs code remotely to code in the container,

by qbasic_forever 3y ago
It's not tied to vs code, you can install a standalone CLI if you need to exactly replicate the container somewhere else (wherever node and docker can be installed): https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/devcontainers

by qbasic_forever 3y ago
You don't understand the feature. Devcontainers can use any plain old dockerfile or docker compose file, it's literally part of the spec. You can do exactly what you're saying--have a dockerfile as the source of truth--right

It's integrated into vs code and nearly transparent. Like they said, someone new to a project can just open the IDE and their environment is automatically setup vs. spending days installing tools from a (likely) undocumented and out o

You don't have to use them, docker has flags to disable things like network isolation. If you want to go deeper systemd-nspawn doesn't isolate anything (network, pid, user, etc.). And if you are some anti-systemd zealot the plai

It's no lighter than a process running in docker, on a Linux machine at least. With docker you have a whole root filesystem packaged up and a process inside it is executed on your system with certain kernel namespacing to set its root

It's fine, just be sure you know where your tools are coming from (use the which command a lot when unsure). Nix might have more up to date or bleeding edge software, although since you're on arch in my experience nix can lag eve

Subpoenas can happen extremely quickly though so don't think it's a slow process today. They just need a DA to talk to a judge and get the paperwork approved. I've heard there are judges on call effectively 24/7 ready

As long as the watch time doesn't drift drastically, does it really matter? Set it once from your atomic source and it will be fine for seconds accuracy. It's not like you're going to be doing the timing for the LIGO experim

The FBI can already subpoena this information from your cell provider. They would even do this back in the analog cell phone days--Kevin Mitnick was nearly caught a few times because they were tracking the location of his analog cell phone

This board is an order of magnitude more capable as a general CPU than the original, that's why it takes more power. The SAM L22 processor on it has 32 kilobytes of RAM and 256 kilobytes of code/flash storage vs basically zero me

What? So is there like a Twitter/X for whales, dolphins, octopi, etc. that let them post racist screeds and everyone agrees well there's nothing we can do about it that's just the cost of intelligence?

The commenter explicitly says to the contrary: > Skip, on the other hand, penalizes his earnings if he falls below 80% moving average accept rate (over the last 10 orders).

Nope, I said none of those things like banning part time work that you are saying. Your only comment here is to try to pivot into other arguments that you are inventing. Not gonna work here.

Do you realize what you're saying? Gig company A only dribbles out 8 hours of work a week so your Dad is forced to also work for gig company B, but needs flexible hours to do so. You are completely failing to see my point--if gig comp

You clearly haven't taken Uber in recent years. The costs are astronomical--here's an anecdote of a reporter going to meet the CEO of Uber and having to pay a $52 fare for a 3 mile drive: https://nypost.com/2023&#

And Uber would have a terrible time finding employees in a university area where most of the local population and workforce is beholden to a part time class schedule. It would leave them open for a competitor who values and works with part
