Ah, here's what I was looking for. They wrote their own "driver" in Go which is the default now instead of LXC, altho you can still use LXC or a variety of other drivers if one wishes. So generally speaking, Docker hasn't used LXC for a while now:https://www.docker.com/blog/docker-0-9-introducing-execution-drivers-and-libcontainer/

While I do wish the email-based workflow had more prominence, the reality is that it hasn't caught on among a very large group of developers.Consequently, I wish glossier front-ends, such as GitLab, GitHub, and Gitea, would allow accountless submissions; a page where a person could attach a patch and contact info and be done with it. I don't want to have to sign up with these rando instances to contribute one patch - but that feature alone would alleviate what I find to be the biggest problem with the non-email based workflow in an otherwise decentralized system.

Reminds me of times phrases like "sufficiently large", "a long time", and "small intervals" would get thrown around while I was getting my electrical engineering degree. Sometimes they would give them actual definitions - sometimes not.

Good to see I'm not the only one who was surprised/impressed with Armstrong during the hearing.

Just my 2c, and really explaining opposite of what you're asking, but:Some people view MIT vs. GPL as being a question of whether true freedom includes the freedom to make "bad" choices. Strong arguments can be made in both ways here. As I view it, it is the true, fundamental question that defines each style of license.Some other people, such as myself, prefer MIT-style because it is compatible with almost any other license in common use, which allows it to maximize how helpful it is to others - even if it sacrifices some assurances of the freedom of subsequent pieces of software.Another benefit, as I see it, is readability - it is a very simple, comprehensible license.I definitely think both licenses are valuable in their own ways though, and often consider favoring GPL.

I switched from an internship working with Python to an internship working with Go and I 100% felt the same.

I switched from KDE Plasma on X11 to Sway/Wayland about 9 months ago and have never looked back, having never used a tiling window manager before. I'm a bit lucky I guess in that everything I use regularly seems to work pretty well. I'm absolutely loving it, and have very few issues.When I started a new job in June that let me choose a distro, I ran Kubuntu for a bit, but ended up installing i3 because I missed Sway so much. Still using Sway at home tho.So I think I'm a bit unusual in that I started my tiling experience in Sway and then starting to use i3, haha.

This ruins the nice numerical sorting of YYYY-MM-DD, which I prefer whenever sorting is relevant for that reason.If the date is going inside a document in a way where sorting absolutely isn't necessary, then I have no issues using whatever variation on 3-letter month abbreviations feels right, or just spelling the month out - any of which will work, since the letters **do** remove the ambiguity:Oct. 22, 202022 OCT 2020October 22, 2020

I thought brown sugar was sugar with molasses added, so the flavor would then be molasses, which is a flavor of stuff.Perhaps I'm wrong on that tho, it is late and I need sleep.

I hadn't heard of it until today at work, and now I heard of it here again. Weird.

I like the idea of body cameras, but I don't like the idea of them always-recording (since it effectively deploys surveillance cameras city/county/state-wide). Are there any good suggestions on how this should work? The officer cannot be trusted to turn on the camera, obviously, so how should the camera be "activated" in this case? Or is the only solution for the camera to be always recording?Or should the camera always record to its in-device storage, but be continuously-erasing every x minutes unless the footage is requested - i.e., the camera only stores the last two hours, unless a situation unfolds, in which case the camera stops stops erasing so the footage can be reviewed later?It would just be really unfortunate to see the (very good) transparency push lead to a networked bodycam/dashcam scenario I guess is all I'm getting at. Maybe current cams are non-networked, and we just have to trust that things will stay that way and that the recordings will not be abused, but it seems like these things should be made requirements just like the bodycam itself should be a requirement.Sorry if these ramblings are ignorant. I would like some input from people who are more familiar with these things.

I think your second sentence eases my fears such that the "privacy problems" mentioned in your first sentence is a non-issue for me. Keep the data on the camera, strict oversight on that, etc...yes, I think this could be done safely and in a way that doesn't endanger privacy.Thank you for your response.Also, (don't have to answer this if you don't want to), are your opinions (not just bodycams, but looking back on some of your other stuff) on cops/police equal across local police, sheriffs' departments, and state troopers, or do you have differing viewpoints on how these offices act/should act/etc? As an example, I know of people that think local police and state troopers should be dissolved and important duties relegated to the county sheriff's office (and what this person sees as unimportant duties dropped entirely). Wondering if you have any thoughts regarding these separate offices, or if you view all law enforcement pretty much the same.Like I say, if this just isn't something you feel like talking about that's fine too.

The show talks about topics other than Matrix; their episodes are all an hour long and includes call-in questions from listeners about various Linux and free software topics.Matrix is somewhat confusing, but as a listener of the Ask Noah Show I just want to clarify that.Matrix = protocolSynapse = reference implementation of the serverElement = reference implementations of the client

I've heard wine is a good one to collect; should retain value even during social collapse.Note: I am not an expert.

Facebook bans whatever users most jeopardize its ability to continue to manipulate and extract value from its users for the sake of its bottom line. In 2021, that means any users who attract potential regulatory attention. They are not afraid to be heavy-handed in their removal. From their point of view, it is better to accidentally ban 99 harmless people if it means also banning the one that might push the scales against their favor.Their durable market power means even banning "large" numbers of people barely affects their bottom line, and so, is worth it if it means they can "prove" how successfully they are "moderating" their platform.

There is a decent Hacker News mirror on there that I use regularly.gemini://dioskouroi.xyz/topBut no, you cannot replace your web experience with Gemini, that wouldn't make sense.Sorry you seem to have such a negative experience with it.

Really, in this context "known issue" is just short for "issue known by those working on the software", as opposed to an unknown issue, which is only experienced by the users, or by nobody at all.It's just an artifact of taking out the implied "by the developers/maintainers". Maybe it would seem less awkward if the maintainer calling it a "confirmed issue".So, with that in mind, putting AFAIK in front just indicates this particular maintainer isn't familiar with the bug report that they think correlates to this issue - it might be something they overheard someone else talking about, or something they read earlier but haven't re-found to make sure it is still open.So the sentence is really just equivalent to "I think this is a confirmed issue", which I don't find strange at all. The knowledge of an organization is separate from the knowledge of each individual.
