What's the availability story? Docker Hub has pretty severe rate-limiting even if you're not an anonymous user.

A "genuine ownership stake in the AI compute that's making things happen" sounds to me like corpo-speak for "taxpayer-funded bailout of my unprofitable company". After all, if ever…

This isn't a binary distinction -- safe vs unsafe. Things you put in your body have a risk profile. The risk profile of raw milk is much higher than pasteurized milk, regardless of…

Yup. I never even use activate, even though that's what you find in docs all over the place. Something about modifying my environment rubs me the wrong way. I just call ``./venv/bi…

In addition to what others have mentioned, it also just makes it easier to come back later to a code base and make changes, especially refactoring. In many cases you don't even rea…

Just run the code that provisions the infrastructure? Sandboxing is the least of your problems. You would need to fully mock out all function executions and their results to have a…

I agree somewhat with the proposition that YAML is annoying for configuring something like a workflow engine (CI systems) or Kubernetes. But having it defined in YAML is actually p…

Are we already forgetting the Lebanon pager incident? It only happened last year. It seems perfectly rational to question the home country of a spyware company (of all things) when…

I think people should be highly skeptical of articles like this, even without knowing anything about the subject in question. No byline/author. No citations/links to the studies in…

I'm not saying any schmuck could have done that. I'm saying that the engineers and managers at Apple (to use your example) are just as (if not more) responsible for the success tha…

> The only difference was leadership. That's quite the leap though, and is just confusing correlation and causation. Maybe the previous leadership was simply getting in the way of …

> You don’t have to randomize the first part of your object keys to ensure they get spread around and avoid hotspots. From my understanding, I don't think this is completely accura…

Presumably the superior solution is the product that bears the same name as this blog post. Which I take it is in the process of being released since I can't find many technical de…

That builders can't construct housing in whatever form-factor they want and whatever part of a municipality they want might be a problem. But the analysis of why these kinds of res…

I'll just note that this seems entirely predictable. So much so that I can't help but see it as purposeful. The federal court system itself only has about 25,000 employees. SCOTUS …

In the sense that LIDAR can detect some things that visible light sensors cannot, it can make up (in some respects) for the lack of those other capabilities. It's not meant to repl…

I've never understood this argument. When I drive, I'm relying on more than just vision. I'm relying on sound, tactile feedback, an understanding of traffic law, an understanding o…

This is decidedly not equivalent to those things, even roughly. Interpreting a statute (which by the way this Supreme Court has expressly limited, which is ironic given your commen…

What you say may be true with respect to breaking laws. But illegal immigration is one of those relatively small infractions, and only now is there some sudden insistence to prosec…

They are bothered by it. But the anti-liberal, extra-judicial, law-ignoring method this administration is levying against Harvard is also being levied against many, many other prog…

That's fine, but allegations in a law suit aren't prima facie evidence of anything. Especially when the text of that law suit is filled with political invective (calling protesting…

In an American context, this part also struck me: >> We did that. But only the Prime Minister could actually cut through all the bureaucracy and say, Ignore these EU rules on Blah.…

You linked an anonymous Reddit post and some European blog post with dubious credibility. Just because someone states as a matter of fact that these people are "pro-Hamas" doesn't …

The same individual making these legal threats has appeared on Russian state media over 100 times.

He allegedly supports Hamas? Is that in the article somewhere? It seems to me people are simply making things up to justify what seems pretty unjustifiable.
