I keep reading this. However I rarely, if ever, see someone using posh for interactive usage on a daily basis. In fact I know more wsl users.


I get it, I leaned bash and never really saw the need for powershell. I typically would write only very small shell scripts in bash, and everything else in Python.

I had to learn some powershell to deploy a windows application and was immediately impressed by how much better pipelines were with objects vs strings, session object persistence, being able to call C# if needed, and so on.

I reach for powershell when I need something more complicated than is practical for me to do in bash, but notso big or complicated that I would need to go to python. Saves me a lot of time and is pleasant to write.

Arc<> does exist though, and is used quite extensively in the rust ecosystem.


I personally never had problems with Arc<RwLock<T>>. The docs appear really clear about in what situations precisely it can be unsafe (if T is not Send+Sync): https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/sync/struct.Arc.html

Am i missing something?

Disclaimer: i'm not a good programmer, nor a low-level programmer; i use Rust as a faster/safer python-like high-level scripting language


I’d say it’s 99% open source. Do you have any significant example of non open source red hat software ?


Their OpenShift aaS offerings I would hazard to guess.


AGPL v3 is proper open source.


It might be free software but for many people it'd conflict in practice with the OSD definition.

If you like Free Software in a Stallman sense, sure, but in these cases we shouldn't kid ourselves that they're doing it for altruistic reasons at all.

9. License Must Not Restrict Other Software

The license must not place restrictions on other software that is distributed along with the licensed software. For example, the license must not insist that all other programs distributed on the same medium must be open-source software.


I don't see the conflict there, in theory or in practise.

AGPLv3 and other GPL variants do not “place restrictions on other software that is distributed along with [them]”, there is no requirement or expectation that “all other programs distributed on the same medium must be open-source”. They at most insist that derived works (software that uses part of the code, by inclusion or linking) are covered by the license.


As a French man, I discovered him a couple of weeks ago and binge watched his material on YouTube.

One of the bests.


Selling the Bible online was already prohibited: https://www.nytimes.com/2018/04/05/world/asia/china-bans-bib...


Thanks! I did not know that. In light of that, the third point in my comment isn't valid.


At French school we a were taught wrong takes when it comes to history (less so, of course)

It’s mainly the history from a « républicain » point of view. Also served with a blatant pro European federalism take.

Nothing wrong per se, but we should have a critical view on what we were fed with.


Should we then force people to eat less with a « eat pass »?

Obesity is even more wasteful of hospital resources.


If solving obesity were as effortless as getting two free widely-available shots? Absolutely, we would want to mandate them.


Obesity is not that contagious.


Well then let’s bring out the big guns. HIV/AIDS patients. How do we keep those people from transmitting their disease? Should we force them to isolate and potentially even form their own cities?


Again, it's not THAT contagious. Aids doesn't spread through air or simple touch. And those with aids still can use condoms (for sex) or handlers can use gloves (when hiv patient has wounds).

The main problem with covid is the tempo it spreads. Covid symptoms are not that bad, most of victims survive, but because it spreads so fast, that ~5 percent of hard cases can overwhelm a country. THAT is the problem, but almost no one adresses it in comments on forums, instead they give comparisons to other diseases which have completely other problems.


> Again, it's not THAT contagious.

It's very contagious if you come in contact with certain bodily fluids. ORs, and traditional rooms in hospitals are sterilized with bleach after a stay from an HIV positive patient. There's even plenty of stories of Dr's and surgeons contracting it when they've slipped with a scalpel or needle.

Further are you 100% confident people are not bleeding on shared surfaces and that other people do not come in contact with this? In SF I once saw a woman slip in a homeless person's urine, with her hitting the sidewalk and breaking skin with her arm in the urine. Wanna play guess the disease there?

> The main problem with covid is the tempo it spreads.

Great so self isolate since you're scared. In fact I see most of the problem being with the vaccinated thinking they're totally safe, and not using a mask. They still get the virus, still spread it, and yet they think they're not the problem.


> It's very contagious if you come in contact with certain bodily fluids

Yeah, IF you come in contact with certain bodily fluids. We don't do that everyday, but we do it everyday with airborne diseases when breathing. So, it's not THAT contagious. I've heard stories of doctors being infected when trying to help some junkie who started being aggressive.

> Further are you 100% confident people are not bleeding on shared surfaces and that other people do not come in contact with this?

I've seen such occurence maybe once every several years where I live. Typically it's because of some acident and it's cleaned in reasonable time.

> In SF I once saw a woman slip in a homeless person's urine

We don't shit on sidewalks, homeless here are a very rare sight, I don't remember seeing one since at least a month.

> Great so self isolate since you're scared.

I'm not scared, I'm vaccinated and still use mask. I'm currently self-isolating because I've got some mild cough and don't want to spread whatever I have, I've cancelled todays dinner with remote (other country) coworker who I would see live first time since a year, but that could mean spreading some flu to him and others in restaurant.

> In fact I see most of the problem being with the vaccinated thinking they're totally safe, and not using a mask.

I'm 100% with you about this. They should isolate more. Now, what was your argument again?


> Yeah, IF you come in contact with certain bodily fluids. We don't do that everyday

Did I not just give an example of this? Maybe not for you, but for some people it is very much possible to come into contact with these body fluids on a daily basis, if not multiple times a day.

> I've seen such occurence maybe once every several years where I live.

You can see droplets of blood? What's your vision like? Are you also aware blood can be in coughs?

> We don't shit on sidewalks, homeless here are a very rare sight, I don't remember seeing one since at least a month.

Again, just your location.

> I'm not scared

If you're not scared you wouldn't be here arguing anything about COVID atm.

> I'm 100% with you about this.

Great! Something we can agree on.


> How do we keep those people from transmitting their disease?

PrEP exists. But it’s costly and tedious. When we have an HIV vaccine that’s free and two shots, yes, it would make sense to restrict those who choose to be infected.


Using this logic, why did we isolate prior to having a vaccine?


To save millions of lives worldwide? It isn't exactly hard math.


> Using this logic, why did we isolate prior to having a vaccine?

To prevent hospitals overrun by sick people.

If more people get vaccine, I'm for ending with isolation or other pandemic safety measures. Those who didn't want to vaccinate can die if they want to. The problem AT THIS MOMENT is that there is too many unvaccinated people, so when covid spreads, hospitals will be overflowed and other people will die from other preventable diseases from lack of care.


We should not consider the US to be a good sample, given the sky-high obesity rates.


Historical Jesus is just a few sentences by Flavius Joseph, a couple of references in the Talmud of Jerusalem. All the other sources are Christian.

So we lack sources to say if he was considered a magician or not to be honest.


Luke was a pretty decent historian. Writing him off because he was a Christian seems rather narrow-minded.


I never dismissed him, I’m Christian. However historians tend to be a bit more cautious with the different Christian sources.


>Luke was a pretty decent historian.

How do you know? What other historical documents did he write that we can compare to what we now understand of the historical record, in order to judge his quality as a historian?


We know because we can check a bunch of what he wrote. Not everything - not the miracles, not the resurrection - but we can check a bunch of the background details against known secular history.

When Luke wants to locate the start of John the Baptist's ministry in time, he says, "In the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar, Pontius Pilate being governor of Judea, and Herod being tetrarch of Galilee, and his brother Philip tetrarch of the region of Ituraea and Trachonitis, and Lysanias tetrarch of Abilene, during the high priesthood of Annas and Caiaphas, the word of God came to John the son of Zechariah in the wilderness." We can check that all those people were in those positions at the time Luke said they were. He's tying the events he's narrating to a specific, concrete historical setting.

One little thing that I notice: When he's writing Acts, Luke is at times part of the events. He's describing Paul's travels, but sometimes it's "he", and sometimes it's "we" - that is, Luke is traveling with Paul. And whenever it's "we", the level of detail goes up. The ship had this figurehead. Here's where we sailed, day by day. But when Luke's not part of the party, he doesn't know at that level of detail, and he doesn't say what he doesn't know. That's a careful writer.
