More and more article titles follow this click bait pattern. The article itself is fine, interesting, albeit a bit short. But I totally agree, and it irks me too, that the implied promise of the title is not honored.
It seems from my own upload that you are limited to one / email address. So yes you could just use a bunch of aliases, but I guess they're banking on most people only having access to a few addresses.
> More importantly, Docker containers themselves aren’t reproducible—running apt-get update or pip install requests at different times can yield different results, even with the same Dockerfile.
apt-get install <package name>=<version>

You can easily host and manage your own package repository. My point is that this apparent limitation is not in itself a strong enough reason to embark on NIX.
Go fill your boots if you want to use NIX, power to you, but be honest about why if you're going to write a piece about it.

Sure, it's not hard but it's work nonetheless, plus you'll incur the costs of maintaining that infrastructure indefinitely. Compare that to creating a Dockerfile which uses https://github.com/reproducible-containers/repro-sources-lis... to fully pin its package sources and calling it a day.
The article specifically states that this light is NOT visible to humans:
> UPE, also known as biophoton emission, is a spontaneous release of extremely low-intensity light that is invisible to the human eye and falls within the spectral range of 200–1,000 nm.
They actually are 380-750nm is the visible range. That said one lumen is approx 3.8×1015 photons and an LED bulb produces 75-110 lumens per watt. It seems like the original poster meant that we are not capable of detecting this with the naked eye even though it is theoretically in the right range.
I can turn out the light and not see my hand emitting light. Either a single photon isnt enough to be perceptible on average in real environments or something else is defective about the assumption for instance intervening tissue absorbing most or all photons involved.
Paul Fischer's book, 'A Kim Jong-Il Production' is well worth a read, not only for the story of these kidnappings, but of life in North Korea and its history.
I switched about two months ago, paid for a year. It's such a relief, it's like having search of ten years ago back again. It just works, and no useless crap. Options that make sense to ME, not to the profit line.
I'm now paying for:
- Search
- Email
- News
- Backups
Of course I'd rather not spend the money, but ALL these services are leagues ahead of the ad-supported alternatives. This is how the Internet should work.
