Peter F. Hamilton’s books may fit the bill: Futuristic, not hopeless/dystopic, and the main characters tend to make reasonable decisions. Be wrned though that he favours deus ex machina conclusions. Most will suggest Pandora’s Star as a starting point (with good reason, as the Commonwealth Saga is quite expansive), but it does not have to be. I personally read the Night’s Dawn trilogy first. The Salvation trilogy also stands on its own, and for a completely standalone book Great North Road was a good read.

Adrian Tchaikovsky is another wonderful author! the Children of Time and Final Architecture series were quite enjoyable.

Redemption Space (Alastair Reynolds) is another series one that I like to recommend. Closer to The Expanse. House of Suns also is a great read by the same author, as are several of his other stories.

The White Space books by Elizabeth Bear should be on your reading list.

Vorkosigan Saga (Lois McMaster Bujold) is a bit dated but similar to Vatta’s War in the earlier books. Later on the plot tends to be more along the lines of whodunnit mystery… in space.

And let’s not forget another scifi favourite, Iain M. Banks! The Culture series are great of course, but I liked The Algebraist the best.

The man can’t leave if he’s shitting his brains out.

It provides a safety net by pooling the resources of the community to support the less fortunate. This prevents people from having to sacrifice their long term goals because their short term needs may not be otherwise met.

Also in contrast to capitalism that treats society as a zero sum game (“I can’t get ahead unless I take something from someone else”) socialism is a benefit multiplier (“I’m part of the community. By making the life of everyone in the community better I’m also improving my own life”).

They are really good at providing examples for why civilized society needs socialism.

Or companies do hire security, but the security team is incompetent and unable/unwilling to adapt to new challenges. Then it devolves into security theater, until either someone new comes who cleans house or a breach happens.

Arch: I need reproducible setups. Also bleeding edge is not for me.

I have to give credit to their documentation though!

Confucius says: man who runs in front of car gets tired; man who runs behind car gets exhausted.

Warm Blooded Hugger.

so what are the reasons why it’s a bad daily driver?

Don’t need to go any further than “default user is root.”

Sometimes the X is not quite at the spot. My guess is that it’s under the sand too the right on the first picture (possibly underwater).

WASD = Path of Vampire Survivors?

The pun is so bad it made me sigh. Top quality dad joke!

It was Arkanoid for me.

Alley Cat, Dukem Nukem 3D, Ultima (4, 5, and 7), Daytona, Day of the Tentacle, Zack McCracken…

Using containers from public registries is no worse than using third party software. In both cases there’s a risk of malicious code. The big difference is that for containers you can scan the image before running it, SBOMs are becoming ubiquitous so dependency vulnerabilities are easier to detect, and runtime protection software is more effective on containers because each container has a deterministic expected behaviour, making it easier to find deviations. I’d much rather manage runtime controls for containers than craft selinux policies.

The bottom line (which the OP article misses) is that while individual container configurations require more effort to set up the additional work to manage them at scale is low, whereas compliance for host based installs is requiring more and more effort. In fact given how popular curl | sh ... is becoming for host based installs I’d argue that they are regressing in terms of safety and reproducibility.

That’s impossible, we know Anakin is Luke’s dad and Obi-Wan told Luke that Vader killed him.

16 and below is unambiguous. It’s a child up to and including 16 years old. Compare that to “below 17” for example, which technically means the same but might be confused to include 17 by someone skimming the question.

I don’t recall Reddit having unique content - what I do remember however was that it had aggregated content. It filled the role of Slashdot, Fark, and other sites, and it had a comment threading system that was far more usable. The memes came after.

“Don’t you think he looks tired?”

That’s s good trick.
