Thanks! This is exactly the sort of stuff I was looking for. So maybe this is too reductive, but basically: - Tools for mutation of a running system - Dealing with hard dependencies that don't cause errors when unavailable (like nfs in

Sorry, I guess my question wasn't "why does the tree need a root process" but "what is the critical feature that makes it worth using these tools instead of the dumbest possible alternative?" So the dumb response to

Kind of a non-sequitur, but what is actually the point of systemd (and other similar tools)? Like compared to just spawning a bash processes that run a critical commands in a loop. I can come up with a couple functions, but none of them se

Kubernetes/k3s on a single node turns what could have been immutable 1-step upgrades into multi-step mutable upgrades, since kubernetes's software itself and all the management components you need are a mutable layer on top of the

I can see the risk of damage to the monument and getting in the way/risk of collisions with other visitors being respect issues, but (having not read the article) I imagine they could be worked around. Are there other respect issues at

I've heard that a lot about cryptocurrency, but aren't there plenty of cryptocurrency users who have never lost their wallet and have good personal opsec? Maybe the issue is trying to force one solution for everyone.

I don't live in an area with scooters. I never got why the parking/littering was a problem. They know who rode the scooter last = who parked there right? Couldn't they fine the people leaving them in the middle of the sidew

I thought calorie restriction was another order of magnitude, beyond "normal" weight. But I guess if obesity was causing accelerated ageing, you could say not being obese is delaying ageing.

I was trying to read some RFCs on my phone, and a simple paragraph had me scrolling right and left constantly (or zooming out until I couldn't read the text).

My theory that it's a sophism to mollify people who are offended by not being trusted, or to mollify people who think not trusting is rude. I'd just assume see it not used though.

I got into an argument about black magic in a library with someone and have been thinking about this since. I think "magic" is fundamentally "hidden dependencies" that prevent full reasoning about a piece of code. Like

I hadn't seen this before, but isn't it similar to using something like a quad-tree to reduce the number of potential colliders?

Whoah, how does it do that? It looks like magic, so does it handle the clickbait use of "this" as well ("this game", "this recipe", "this film")? I'm using one that just decapitalizes and uses a

I believe that, but doesn't that make it much harder to read? Or are the organizational benefits worth it? Edit: and I also don't see a way to do multiple arguments like that in a single document, unless you mean as a soft linkage

Is there some reason this is all focused around yes/no questions or a single statement? Is it like a standard format that all topics can be reworded to? I'm wondering if this could this be used for something like comparing altern

Is there any stock TOS/Privacy Policy for a typical SaaS? I feel like the requirements for most are similar, and they tend to cover a superset of things in case the business pivots later. I did hire a lawyer to write one for me and got

This looks really cool, but I came away with some questions. - How does this differ from say blender's geometry/shader nodes? Aside from operating environment. - How much of webgl does this encompass? Do you control the full rende

The Apple Music web app is so terrible it made me doubt the engineering ability of the whole company. Can't sort collections, can't edit playlists, songs randomly getting skipped, etc. etc. It was like they actively hated the us
