I’m glad you haven’t been in that situation and hope you never are.
I disagree on its relevance. In such a situation, it would make sense to have the desire to kill that soldier, but you might not hate him. Does that make sense? I’m asking you to use your imagination of such a situation and how you might feel about it. If you think you would feel or behave differently, I’m all ears
Well, shit hahaha but yeah, that would be weird as hell. I bet it has something to do with how electrons get aligned, but… I don’t know much beyond electrons moving between their shells
How would you feel if you were in a war, defending your country and family, where the attacking soldiers were conscripts and didn’t want to be fighting you in the first place?
I pose a different thought: there are different ways to want someone’s death.
There’s wishing someone is dead because you hate them.
There’s wishing someone is dead because there is no other way to stop the harm they’re causing.
On the outside, it’s hard to tell the difference, but I think it’s profoundly different internally. In my opinion, the former lacks deeper thought. I think most people genuinely believe that whatever they’re doing is good, or at least justified.
To a large degree, we are shaped by our environment. Yes, we can argue free will, but there’s always a bias. It’s similar to what Christians told me when I was a kid when I asked if indigenous tribes in the middle of nowhere could be saved by Jesus. Teachers told me, “well, they can find God/Jesus in the world around them.” Like… theoretically, that’s not impossible, but realistically, no. If there’s some kid growing up being told his whole life that black people are evil and want to hurt him, and the only time he sees or meets black people are in hostile situations… what else is he going to believe? Should we excuse him? His actions, absolutely not. Him as a person… no… i think…? But how do we solve that? Should we just obliterate the population that kid was a part of? I don’t have a great answer.
Basically, I think we should avoid hating people, and you can wish someone to die without hating them. The sheep can wish for the wolf to be dead so the sheep can be safe, but the wolf has to eat, too.
I was really hoping someone would catch this. I’m glad someone else was also paying attention in biology
That’s… huh…
Hey!!! Physicists!!! Can we get your input???
(Unless you’re a physicist, in which case… fuck)
That’s really cool. I figured it could obviously be done with fission, but I didn’t think we could just strip protons out of a nucleus. Cool share
I learned a thing. Thank you.
I argue that this is due to the poor definition of a coastline. I don’t know why. I go into problem solving mode, and I’m like… yeah… poorly defined problem. Root cause found… uhh… now what. Coastline starts at where water reaches only high tide? No. Continental shelf? Certainly not. Point where building foundations are no longer stable? Maybe, but I don’t know enough… yet.
… is this ADHD? Seriously, my psychiatrist thought I was right on the border. I dunno
Edit: I’m dumb and misunderstood the problem. Disregard me
I’ve worked with Swarm in a startup setting. It was an absolute nightmare. We eventually gave up and moved to Kubernetes.
That said, your use case does sound simpler. As I recall, we had to set up service discovery (with Hashicorp Consul) and secret management (with Hashicorp Vault) ourselves. I believe we also used Traefik for load balancing. There were other components as well, but I don’t remember it all. This was over 5 years ago, though.
The difficulty wasn’t configuring each piece but getting them to work together. There was also the time burned learning all the different tools. Kubernetes is great because everything is meant to work together.
But if it’s just two machines with separate configuration, do you even need orchestration? Is there a lot of overhead to just manage them individually?
Unfortunately, it was too long ago to remember the details of differences between compose and swarm. I do remember it was a very trivial conversion.
MechWarrior 2: 31st Century Combat
It had an archive in the game. It detailed the social structure, military structure, customs, and history of the Clans, which you play as a member of, from an outside perspective. I was only 8, but I read through the whole thing, end-to-end. I put an album of it on Facebook for posterity when I was in high school.
I decided I wanted to be like them when I read it. I have a much better understanding of them now, and I do not agree with everything. The concepts behind some core tenants still stand for me. Individuals are valued within the context of the Clan. One’s value is based on their contribution to society, but society must value them in order to expect their contribution. If a leader acts in their own interest and not that of the Clan, their subordinates are obligated to challenge them. If the conflict stands, they face in a Circle of Equals. Generally, personal disputes are delayed and adjudicated, but there is a Trial of Grievance if the parties can conduct if they cannot delay. In the real world, I translate these to a value in community, a mandate to not tolerate poor leadership, and good practice in letting cooldown time followed by direct dispute resolve conflict.
Of course, there are questionable things. A caste system, though some Clans allow more mobility than others. Eugenics based on combat prowess for the warrior caste. Promotion by combat for the warrior caste. Poor military strategy based on the concept of honor.
I still consider myself a Clanner, to some degree. Sometimes I try to see if others took it as much to heart as I did, but I am afraid of rejection. I do not know if I could pass various Trials. I know I am too old, now, or at the very least, approaching that. Maybe someday, I will find other children of Kerensky.
No. I don’t want to transpile. I don’t want a bundle. I want a simple site that works in the browser. I want to serve it as a static site. I don’t want a build step. I don’t want node_modules. I want to code using the language targeted for the platform without any other nonsense.
Javascript is cancer. Fucking left pad?! How the fuck did we let that happen? What is this insane fucking compulsion to have libraries for two lines of code? To need configuration after configuration just to run fucking hello world with types and linting?
No, fuck Typescript. Microsoft owns enough. They own where you store your code. They own your IDE. They might own your operating system. Too much in one place. They don’t need to own the language I use, too.
“Let’s use a proprietary improvement to fix the standard that should have not sucked in the first place” is why we can’t have nice things.
No.
I may not be well informed, so feel free to cite sources that prove me wrong, but I’m not 100% convinced about the co-ops being equally competitive or that they’ll be just as profit-seeking.
Yes, individuals outside of sociopathic executives are also driven by profit, but they’re also more influenced by other factors. For example, most non-executives might opt for a more ethical solution over a more profitable solution. This may also carry over to efficiency: maybe a co-op could opt for a more efficient, if less profitable, solution in order to keep prices low. There are several incentives for this: long-term growth, social good of making things more affordable, personal pride in being the lowest price, general lack of desire to optimize for a single metric (profit). Now, these are all guesses. I don’t know of any good studies about co-op behaviors in aggregate versus traditional corporations, but this sounds feasible to me.
All that said, it sounds like you’re better read on this than I am, so I’d love to learn if you can throw some sources at me
Okay, but what’s your current level of web development knowledge?
And if I’m understanding your website properly, it seems like you don’t have any kind of user generated content, yes? And if there were updates to the site, you would just make them yourself? If this is the case, then it sounds like frontend-only, and you can probably just use Vercel. If you’re going super simple, maybe even Github Pages would work.
Alternatively, is there any reason you’re not using a site builder like Wix or Squarespace?
I’ll give a more detailed answer.
Docker doesn’t help you in the development of the website. Docker helps you with the deployment of the website.
The purpose of Docker is to give you a consistent environment. When you create a Docker “image,” that image includes all of the files and software required to run the website. Then on some computer accessible by the public internet, you can just download that “image” and run your website using a “container” created from the image.
You can think of the image as the blueprint of all the bits and pieces needed to run your website. The container is basically all those pieces put into action to actually run the website.
Now, depending on your website, you may not even need Docker. If it’s frontend-only, you could use some service like Vercel, where you don’t even need Docker.
Can you share more info about your current level of knowledge and the website you want to make?
I’m not convinced of this. One could argue that profit is waste. It’s an overhead of wealth delivered for value provided. If co-ops are less incentives towards profit, e.g. by not having a tradeable stock to manage, then the pursuit of profit is a lesser priority. This means the overhead is less, which could mean lower prices.
To put it bluntly, if you don’t need to pay dividends to shareholders who deliver no value or huge bonuses to executives at the top, maybe the operating costs could be lower. Yes, the cooperative members would take some of that money as profit sharing among the members, but the working class tends to be less sociopathically greedy than those in power.
Definitely open to feedback. This kind of thinking is newer to me
Got it. That makes much more sense. Thank you for the clarification! And very clear explanation
That all makes sense except the class distinctions part. If whole cooperatives share the capital of the organization, how is there a class divide?
Everything you’re saying about competition and private interest makes sense, with my limited understanding. I just don’t get the class point you made. Help me understand?
I gave an example that I thought was pretty similar to the comic. But reasonable people could differ on that one.
War certainly breeds hate, I’ll give you that. And in today’s world, most leaders generate hate to drive people towards war. But I guess a real world, contemporary example could be Ukraine. Many Russians don’t want to be on the battlefield, or so I’ve read. Many Ukrainians feel like they have no choice to defend their homes and loved ones. I wonder if there are Ukrainians that don’t hate their Russian counterparts, though they’re fighting them. I imagine there at least have to be a few. I dunno.
In any case, I don’t think either of us is budging in our beliefs here. I hope neither of us ever ends up in this kind of situation, and I hope we can avoid wishing death on people, hating them or not. Have a great day, my dude
