A system similar to this was already in place for warrantless surveillance, the FISA courts, which have become a rubber stamp. These systems that are supposed to be a check on state power eventually become far too comfortable with the agenc

as other commenters have stated, pip-tools is a decent alternative. It does have some issues around platform dependent packages (like libuv and windows), but that's solved by managing a different compiled requirements per environment.

yes but you are focusing on details of "how" powerful private individuals encircle the commons, rather than the _pattern_ of the powerful encircling the commons.

This is basically the same issue as public access to California beaches, where wealthy landowners attempt to block public access to the commons and turn it into private property. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2015

Ah, okay, so as long as people go and follow your account, even if you had a one person instance, it would "just work". I already moved my account from one mastodon instance to another (that is hosted via masto.host) and it was re

If you run your own instance, how do you get federated? Because isn't it the case that you have to have a federated instance in order to be followed by people on another instance? Basically, sure you can run your own instance of Mastod

I remember when Magnum was being proposed and developed. I think the issue is that it really didn't have that much of a head start on Kubernetes, and the difficulty of getting OpenStack installed, just so that you could use Magnum, com

I wish they had not gone with uint32_t for storing mtimes, since they now have to deal with the 2038 problem, sometime in the future. I am surprised they didn't directly use time_t, so that they wouldn't have to deal with this (si

A police force is not like picking your razor blade at the store. How is there enough space in a market to have multiple police companies, when most municipalities are going to award a _single_ contract to cover the police work for that mun

Privatizing police forces will not make them more accountable. If they are not accountable now as a public good, how would them being private somehow improve that? The only comparable example was charter schools and the results were they co

Municipalities already vote to put people in charge, who then negotiate the contracts. However, the police unions are very good at negotiating a contract that gives them the maximal amount of latitude that they can negotiate. Which is fine,

It doesn't matter how you "rate" cops if the police union goes to bat for bad cops and gets their jobs reinstated, or they just leave one department and move to another. https://www.cnn.com/2020/07/0

Why burn coal to keep the records of this on a blockchain if you are going to forgive it. It is stupid.

by sc68cal 4y ago
Nobody cares about you holding these coins that were used as part of a debt forgiveness scheme, and it is not worth the carbon emissions to maintain these coins on a blockchain. Just forgive the debt.

by sc68cal 4y ago
why? so you can collect the debt yourself? That's not the point. The point is to forgive the debt. If you want to be a debt collector go be a debt collector, no blockchain required.

I think that leaving splice() as it was, is worse than breaking the "NEVER BREAK USERSPACE" rule, in this specific instance. It should not become a regular occurence, but I don't see a better way. They tried to stick to it, t
