This is superficially true, but I can completely sympathize with his position. After a lifetime of doing just as you say, my wife asked for divorce. Suddenly this small social lubricant that I never really noticed was just a jab into my pain...and people ask this A LOT. A few times I told people how I was, much as he described, and it didn't go well. It created the impression that I'd just have to deny out loud that I wasn't feeling what I was feeling. That no one cared about me, because the first thing anyone did was ask "how are you" without wanting the actual answer. Often, they ask while walking past and don't even wait for an answer, fake or not.

It felt different, not like the normal experience at all. That was a long time ago for me. As I learned to cope, this stopped being an issue.

Was I being self-centered and unreasonable? Probably. Doesn't change how it felt though. When I behaved as everyone expected, it was still raw, painful, and oh-so-frequent. If this guy deals with regularly telling people and their families that they are going to suffer the ravages of chemo/radiation to have too tiny a chance to live, not to mention the ones that he has to tell that they are going to die soon, that he has to say there is no option, that he has to cope with the immediate shock and denial. If he deals with the terrible question of "how long do I have?", if he deals with people that have families, if he deals with people who have no one - that all sounds horrifying. I wouldn't WANT a doctor (or anyone) to take that casually, but that also means I'm wanting that doctor to never escape those pains.

A friend of mine does therapy for low-income teens and she shuts the work portion of her brain down when not on the job. Doesn't even like to talk abstract concepts or read field-related articles. This mystifies me, because as a coder the difference between work and play is if I choose what to do, not if I'm programming. To have other interests I get, but to actively not want to think about something so large in my life would be at best bizarre. I'm guessing it's a similar issue to this author, and in his case people that pry are forcing him to think about it. And then those prying people try to connect by sharing their stories of cancer. I don't know of good stories about cancer - they are at best avoiding-the-worst stories.

So yeah, I don't see him learning what's expected, I see him telling us some side effects of what's expected. Hopefully I'll now be a bit more aware that someone being vague probably has a reason to be vague, and not follow my natural instinct to pry.
Do you really think the US was 'promoting unsustainable development and poor land use', or do you think maybe it was more the case that things may have changed in the last 50-100 years, and we may have gotten a little wiser?

It's utterly silly to think that building suburbs in the 50s and 60s was malignant, purposeful behavior. Things change, our population has increased and our understanding about economics, technology and our resources has evolved.
As other points out, the article doesn't demonize LIMIT/OFFSET at all. In fact, it's offered as one way to paginate. That said, there's a good reason why it's worth demonizing.

First, LIMIT/OFFSET will not give you a transactionally consistent view of the data. If anyone inserts or deletes rows while you're paginating, you'll get dupes or holes. So already you're on thin ice. Good, as the article points out, for stateless pagination in Web 2.0-style web views, but problematic for any application that needs a consistent view (e.g. infinite scroll, or if you're, say, indexing everything into a search engine). Developers might easily miss this.

More importantly, LIMIT/OFFSET doesn't scale to particularly large datasets, and it's one of those things that will bite you at the worst possible time — i.e. when the size of your application plummets over a certain performance threshold that suddenly causes lots of queries to pile up because they're all at OFFSET 10000000. (Watch out for Googlebot paginating everything to infinity!) Since LIMIT/OFFSET requires the result set to be sorted on every query, this paves the way for some truly terrible query plans. If you're lucky, you'll get a fairly efficient index scan, but if you have joins and subqueries, things can get impossibly slow.

I'm currently working on an application where even the "SELECT ... WHERE id > :last_id ORDER BY id LIMIT :page_size" trick is failing me, with queries taking 30-60 seconds because there are many going on concurrently. The entire table is maybe 10 million records, and the WHERE is very selective (i.e. it's looking at a fairly small portion of the full table), but it's still a problem. LIMIT/OFFSET worked back when we had just a few hundred thousand rows in that table.
The one thing we're really missing from AWX (the open source version of Tower) is the high availability support.

I've seen some discussion in GitHub issues about that; hoping we see it supported soon!
I wonder if there's a more polite way to deflect the conversation? Perhaps, "I really don't like to talk about my work?"
I had the same thought and asked a building engineer about this. I don't recall the details, but he said that it is in fact cheaper to build up than down (albeit he was considering construction cost, not HVAC).
Well that I believe in. It's also about having a github of green.
Can there not be more than one parallel requisite for life to exist?

Like the presence of the moon, distance from the sun, etc.
The github link is a really hidden small icon. I probably also don't care about the source, but if it is hidden, it looks like it is difficult to get and/or install.

Your front page says of the paid version: "Don't worry about installations, hosting and upgrades. All plans include a 30-day free trial. No credit card required."

My first impression was that it is hard to upgrade. Maybe not true, but it is what is communicated by the site.
What Apple ploy? He's right. What the average person wants is the kind of HUD/AR glasses you see in sci-fi movies that seamlessly and easily "just works". We're not there yet.

>There's existing tech out there that does a reasonable job.

No, there isn't. What exists now is clunky and isn't the kind of experience users are after. One of Apple's strength is understanding that "reasonable job" doesn't cut it. Too many tech people obsess over the tech and misunderstand what consumers want. It's why the people who laughed when the iPod came out, or the iPhone, or the iPad and went on about tech specs and features other products already had were so blind.
Does the magnet link work without DifTracker? Because that's still a centralized system.
That still prevents foreign ships from shipping supplies from the US mainland (where tehy are most readily available) to PR.
Not typically.

Unless you're claiming that by working in the city and commuting home to the suburbs, people are being subsidized by the city. But that would be silly.
Similar for "architect" or sometimes "engineer" in our space.
Puerto Rico is a territory under the direct control of the US federal government, and the executive branch of that government is the appropriate one to handle short-term emergency relief. So while your comment is correct, I don't see the relevance.

This covers the awkward half of the conversation, but not the "I professionally tell people they are soon going to die" part. He doesn't want to think about it and they don't want him to share that...but they keep digging against any evasion, just as you have posted.
Seriously, the small talk exists precisely so we don’t have to get into shit we’d rather not get into. Not because everyone thinks the weather is actually fascinating.
Excuse me, HN is polluting my news feed with a story from the new york times that the new york times does not believe is important enough to warrant taking down a paywall for. Furthermore, the new york times has utterly disgraced itself over the Harvey Weinstein story. HN is giving the new york times a huge demonstration of support while the new york times is transforming into a sleazy tabloid. The new york times must be punished for its failure to properly cover the Weinstein story. HN must hold the new york times accountable and must form partnerships with other news organizations in order to send the new york times a message.

Promoting the careers of individuals who are utterly detestable and disgusting such as Lena Dunham and Gwyneth Paltrow is unacceptable. It is the work of publicists. If the new york times considers itself a publicist for these two individuals, then it should stop calling itself a news organization.
Nice write up, I really enjoy these types of postmortems. Also, the best issues are always ones you can blame upstream for :D

> It has unrestricted access to everything

It only has unrestricted access to what you give it unrestricted access to.

If your ansible playbooks use a user that doesn't have root access and limited sudo powers, then it's not much different from using Ara.
Yeah good luck with that. Most people struggle (not just little girls) already struggle to install software where you literally have to click "continue" 3 times...
You can share the payment method, but family members can't benefit from the "unlock" of the IAP and must each purchase it separately.
I don't understand your critique. Spending a few extra characters to highlight how cool the scientific field work is seems like a fine thing for the NYT to do. Good for kids, young and old. Are you SURE you like bears and buffalo?

I don't think your link contains better science:

I suppose _all_ winters are nuclear winters... from an atom's point of view.

Given the context, there's not a big difference between a website getting owned and an admin's browser getting owned. When someone develops an exploit that breaks out of sandbox, they can do whatever they want.

Also, this assumes access to Tower is unlimited. ACLs applied in Tower should be able to limit what user has what access.
I actually do build websites but I don’t really feel the need to have strangers understand my job perfectly. Or at all. “I program computers” or “computer stuff” often works fine.
Completely unrelated to the topic at hand, but I've gain a new-found respect for Medium, having not seen this on the site before:

"This embedded content is from a site that does not comply with the Do Not Track (DNT) setting now enabled on your browser.

Please note, if you click through and view it anyway, you may be tracked by the website hosting the embed.

I think that's the first time I've seen visible evidence of the DNT setting actually doing something. Now whether or not that offsets the header/footer turds that litter their mobile site, I'm still deciding. :-)
"That means that what Amazon is really looking for is something else: that special something."

Massive tax breaks and giveaways. That's all this is about. It's a dog and pony show to see who will fork up the most to buy in to the delusion that it will pay off somehow.
FEMA is part of the executive branch, is it not? Splitting hairs over terms is a poor substitute for substantive argument.
If you want housing that has had walls ripped off to get copper wire for selling to a scrap yard. Yes there is plenty of that.

If you want to pay housing boom sized taxes on a house worth a fraction of that, there is plenty of that as well. Since you aren't allowed to reappraise a lot of property.
This is a great point. Although...other CI systems already have that kind of privilege, right? e.g. Chef has a master node if I'm not mistaken.

In my experience, ansible playbooks are great when run from a more general purpose task runner like jenkins, which then has permissions to access/modify one's production environment. I don't think I would personally use tower unless it provides something much much better than running ansible tasks in Jenkins... it would be just too much of a hassle to get the security/compliance aspects right.
As expected, looks like it'll be much closer to Gear VR than the Rift. It does not have positional tracking.

These suburbs are "dying" because the majority of their population are low-skilled, low-educated people who have fewer and fewer opportunities to prosper in an economy that is becoming more and more automated and skills-oriented. The blight and decay is just a symptom of the actual problem, which is decreasing opportunity for these people.

That's one of the reasons I oppose opening our borders to a flood of additional low-skilled, low-educated people. It hurts the ones who are already here.

I'm sure this will attract a lot of downvotes, and I'm perfectly fine with that, but I'd appreciate it if the downvoters would also point out the flaws they perceive in my logic.
The Jones Act was never an obstacle to Puerto Rico disaster relief. Supplies were delivered by ship but then stacked up in ports due to lack of trucks. Suspending the Jones Act won't conjure up more trucks and drivers.

I wish there was a way to turn this feature completely off. I used to like Spotify but lately the experience has been constant bugs and to be frank, insultingly bad recomendations... stop this nonsense!

Every time I open Spotify this crap shown on the top, before my own lists, it makes me angry every time.
The importance of a good Discover Weekly has caused me to be super 'careful' with what I listen to. I have a separate Spotify account on my family plan where I listen to stuff I don't like. For instance, it's connected to my Sonos so guests at my house can listen to whatever they want.
Worse, you have a brother-in-law who has built a few computers and now thinks he knows everything there is to know about them.
The premise is interesting, but some of the calculations aren't convincing. The first map of cities that "did produce 5,000 extra housing units beyond household formation" is particularly strange. Which city is more prepared for such an expansion, one that built zero units and lost 5,000 residents, or one that built 100,000 units and gained 100,000 residents? Without greater clarity into the data, many of these maps fall into "lies, damn lies, and statistics".

Yes, but I wasn't looking about tables. Just general things to do with led strips and raspberry pis.

Google is great for finding things you already know, but I'm using it for discovering things I didn't even know I was interested in.

I can't exactly just put the entire dictionary into google to try and find what I might like. I enter a category I might like, and look through the results matching that category.
Lots of interesting info in here! I have a DSL modem that smells like burning plastic at all times, so I put it outside in a metal box. I had wondered about the extent to which it diminishes the signal in the house. This passage helpfully explains:

"[...] any opening, or slot, on the shield reduces its effectiveness. The slot behaves as antenna, with the same radiation pattern as a wire of the same length."
Though downvoted into submission, the above point is perfectly valid.

A better stance to take might be: "We need to reiterate to the citizens of Puerto Rico that they are perfectly free to opt for statehood, or independence at any time."

You'd need to convert heat into electricity for that. Not sure how efficient modern plants are, but if you pump sea water into the well to get steam, you can process the steam for desalination after it turns the turbines.

You'll need the pipes to send the salt water back into the ocean.

There was a person on the docker team, who had dockerized every other applications like chrome, firefox, ALSA sound server, and more. But even she found it hard to sandbox everything.

I'm using docker as a leading sandboxing tech. Do you mean something else when you mean sandbox?
Amazon also sells TP fairly cheap, and you don't even need a Prime membership if you order enough at once to get the regular free shipping.

Of course, using Amazon requires Internet access, which can also be a problem.

One thing I both do understand and lament is how the more impoverished communities are culturally tuned to turn on each other than work together. If your household is too poor to afford a lot of the things that are taken for granted - a working kitchen, for example - having four neighbors work together to have one working kitchen they could all share and set up time slots to use would go a long way to getting out of poverty.

But you really just cannot rely on other people in those situations. Its a prisoners dilemma where the prison is poverty. It takes one person taking advantage of cooperation to ruin it.
Nah, I literally just heard someone make this same argument yesterday on another site while trying to argue that "white genocide" was occuring in America. They even referenced Japan, smh.

Heterogeneity is the cost of colonization. If you spend hundreds of years using people as cheap labor or stealing resources from their communities you are going to have an influx of those same people integrating into a culture they are now familiar with.
Everything about this article is kind of dumb. Using this exact same argument, it would be impossible for any company to build any headquarters, and yet somehow the American economy still continues to grow.

It's not like amazon is going to airlift in 50k people on day 1.

Anyway, Northern Virginia is still the obvious place for second HQ, given metro access to DC, Dulles airport, the millions of datacenters, fios penetration and large numbers of local it workers.

Exactly this. Every production Flask project I've seen has a massive requirements file to bolt on functionality that comes built into Django. The second I realize that I need an auth system or may potentially have a DB migration, I select Django.

Frankly, I don't see the attraction to _bring your own_ frameworks in most cases (though I've done it for very specialized cases). I get paid to get projects done, not to reinvent the wheel.

"A few generations ago inner cities were too dense, filthy, undrivable and morally corrupt to allow civilisation to flourish."

Tower is great for presenting playbooks to other users less familiar with ansible, besides you have the same attack surface with Jenkins anyway.
Because then it becomes moral hazard (like every bailout or free handout). Let’s say I live in centre of big city and pay crazy high rent and make sacrifices to save much bigger cash pile required to be able to afford to get on a property ladder.

And people in suburbs will just get free cheque from government to move? That is incredibly unfair to people living in cities hence it creates moral issue.
> The answer "Pastor" can be a conversation killer.

As it maybe should be. I'm certainly not denying that people identifying as pastors can offer solace and comfort to people in times of trouble, but they are doing so in the context of mysticism, in a particular form that has been catastrophic for many groups in our society.
Chef Server has a central server. Chef Zero doesn't, especially when using tools like cfn-init/cfn-hup and S3-backed minimart to self-bootstrap. This is the approach I take, and it's the approach I see becoming more and more common. Letting nodes figure out how to deal with their own problems (better able to auto-scale, more fault tolerant) is, to me, much better than having Jenkins or whatever have to SSH into them in the first place.

You can do it with Ansible, if you're going home-roll it, but I haven't seen too many people do so.
>They did, though. I mean, suburbs are rarely directly financed by larger cities and initially, inhabitants of suburbs are, on average and in the United States, wealthier than their counterparts in the city (and nearer suburbs).

You're missing in your equation:

1. Population density. If the population density is lower, the cost to maintain the infrastructure per resident is higher. The claim is that even though suburbanites are richer, they are not rich enough to offset the extra cost per resident.

2. A lot more businesses (and big businesses) in the city vs the suburb. This is a significant revenue stream.

I've seen maps and claims where even in the city, it is usually the downtown area that subsidizes the rest of the city (let alone suburbs).
