binbashthefash | 3 years ago | on: Ask HN: Docker in WSL vs. Docker on MacBook M1?

Docker on M1 is a pain in the ass if you have to focus on x86 instead of ARM. Non arm docker builds take much much longer to the point that my 2016 Mac is faster than my M1. But if you live in arm land it's fine. Unfortunately, that's not me so I spend most of my time Ssh'd into an x86 Linux machine.

binbashthefash | 3 years ago | on: Ask HN: Are most software engineering decisions subjective?

Yes, because each decision is based on a previous decision, often made by someone else. Sometimes, someone 5 steps back made an awful decision which necessitates making another decision that may also be wrong, but wrong in a way that could leave the next person able to make a correct one.

If I walk into a room and someone asks "how do I deploy this app to the edge" there's 1000 answers that will either be right or wrong depending on decisions about that apps design that were made long ago but will still impact how I have to deploy it.

No the strategy is associate drugs with minorities to make being a minority illegal.

Ehrlichman told Baum. "We knew we couldn't make it illegal to be either against the war or black, but by getting the public to associate the hippies with marijuana and blacks with heroin, and then criminalizing both heavily, we could disrupt those communities. We could arrest their leaders, raid their homes, break up their meetings, and vilify them night after night on the evening news. Did we know we were lying about the drugs? Of course we did."

It's actually very straightforward

"The Nixon campaign in 1968, and the Nixon White House after that, had two enemies: the antiwar left and black people. You understand what I'm saying?" Ehrlichman told Baum.

You have a whole little human who will need your help to understand what the world is and how to survive it. You'll get to see them grow, learn, fuck up, laugh and become their own fully realized person. Love them, teach them, give them the agency and respect you would want them to give others. Congratulations, you're gonna do great
