  • More and more people are using docker to run shit

    Docker is not made that way so people can get out of fixing shit that breaks constantly. The point is more to get rid of once-in-a-lifetime errors for which a reinstall or restart would be faster for anyway, but the main reason is that you get to sleep because if something fucky happens at 3AM, it’s more likely the system will just right itself.

    I certainly wouldn’t call debugging a blinking container easier than just fixing shit on the server. In a container though, I can be sure the issue is fixed and it’s not just another bandaid on a growing pile that is going to explode as soon as the guy building the pile retires.


  • So how is 19th century imperialism different from Roman imperial expansion or Greek colonialism in antiquity for example? Or the various attempts to resurrect the Roman Empire by basically everyone? Why don’t we call Roman emperors or Alexander the Great or even Sigismund imperialists? Honest question here, I’m not a historian or anything.












  • I have a feeling that they made it up after the fact because the whole point of ε and φ there should be that they come with their own formulas that depend on the demand itself, instead of just being set to a constant value. I don’t imagine a straight line is a good enough model for the world economy, especially when fucking around with stuff that can implode it.

    But ChatGPT does not know that, and especially won’t expand on that if you ask it “make my formula seem more scientific”.


  • The death penalty makes sense, but only for CEOs or politicians who knowingly make choices that result in the deaths of hundreds. The Boeing CEO should have been executed for knowing negligence that resulted in that string of crashes.

    That’s because there is much less of a chance of “getting the wrong person”, since the buck has to stop there, the fish smells from the head, and it is the one situation where the value of deterrence trumps rehabilitation or other concerns.
