Avoiding single use items that pollute the environment for hundreds or thousands of years is rational whether you want children or not.

Of course using a plastic straw isn't what got us into this mess and small individual choices like that won't save us.

N=1, I work with many pragmatic clojure devs who just want to ship working software.

What can you do if you don't want to block unknown numbers, e.g. you get a call from a hospital about your injured relative, but you have blocked all unknown numbers

Excluding this one sentence in the article

> Software Engineers and Tech co-founders, like us, are more prone to hitting the lows.

I don't see where anyone was comparing software engineering/engineers to another profession. I certainly don't see where it was proclaimed a crisis.

I don't think it's productive to tell people others have it worse when they are promoting a discussion around mental health. I also don't think being well paid and having what appear to be great working conditions preclude you from having mental health issues.

I remember taltking to some of my friends about who has it better. When I ask "would you like to work like me?" typical answer is "Sitting 8h staring at a screen? I couldn't do that!". When I was summer-working at home construction 8-19, I was tired after a day of work, but pretty happy. Now when I'm sitting so long programming, I have headache and feel tired constantly. There is something about moving all day which makes us a little happier than sitting or lying.

A key difference is that most tech workers have the freedom to insert physical exercise/hobbies into their work day, work flexible hours, walk on a treadmill at a standing desk, etc. and someone in a physically laborious job makes no such choices. Not all tech workers avail themselves of this flexibility as much as they should, but that's on the individual.

What do you mean by mainline consumer machine? MacBook market share is less than 20%

While I use emacs and I'm not too familiar with other editors I'd question how true this is today, clojure in particular is often written with vscode, intelij and vim, all seem to have good repl support.

In this case your accidentally upgrading your dependencies only when rebuilt. Especially with micro services some things can be ran for years without being rebuilt.

It's not just a specific actor targeting a specific entity though; it's any malicious dependency being ran in a privileged environment.

Yes, that's true. But then you might have bigger issues I would say. But agreed. It's a good reason to make sure it's all closed off.

Look at the default capabilities below, as a poster above mentioned NET_RAW and MKNOD are enabled by default.

Unless you perfectly drop all privileges from every pod you are open to attack.

Containers are not security contexts, they are namespaces, that require all actors that can launch a VM to actively drop privileges.

This is an intentional design decision and not a bug.

Everything is political if you view it through this lense.

This is about the characteristics of a newly released algorithm.

That's how nearly every aspect of every business works; would you you start a bakery by learning construction and building it yourself?

Construction is a one time cost. It infrastructure is in constant use.

It's like accounting and finance. Yeah a lot of companies use tax firms, but they all have finance and accounting in-house.

I don't think that's the important distinction, lots of ongoing costs are outsourced.

Amazon may have their own shipping fleet, most retailers of smaller scale pay someone else to do it for profit.
