How do you reconcile this with the reality of systems breaking?

To make it work then you just can't rule out by fiat a hard-disk breakage as one of the simplest adversarial conditions to the model.
I agree largely from a development perspective, but the client-side javascript frameworks are ultimately more performant, particularly on mobile, and are not as bad as they used to be. Neither server-side nor WASM are ideal for mobile devices. Downloading many megabytes of .NET dependencies for a WASM app is obscene compared to like 30 kilobytes for React.
As with every other business market, google has the design, technical and market reach resources to clean up. However, as with every other business market, they never will due to their mysterious aversion to providing

b) product lifespans that businesses can rely on

Their penchant for "surprise! sunset"ing major products that users rely on, and showing no reluctance to do this for business customers as well means only scrappy small players who feel like the cost differential or some specific feature is worth the threat of having to migrate one fine weekend.

It is nice to be able to give up some living space in exchange for lower rent, or for a premium location. Tokyo allows this to a great degree. Where I live, in the US, the construction of small apartments is illegal, so the ability to make this trade is more limited.

Hah, the go-to video for everyone to start with! Did anyone else think they'd make a good couple?

Anyway, I wish we'd finally agree as a community to use one word for one thing, but not the other.

i.e., small homes: just small homes (like OP's link, serious and important approach to housing).

tiny houses: the new trend of putting a small home on wheels/trailer. (like 99% of the links on Google).

I'm all for the former (small units, when fit with modern-appliances, sound-proofing, and well-designed) can be a great way to live for young people for a few years, and help reduce costs.

Take a look at Amsterdam for example, it's population only recently growing back to the 1960s levels. [0] (suburbanisation happened in between).

However, housing prices grew by about 8x since the bottom.[1]

The funny thing you find is that we actually have way more housing than we used to, and until recently we actually had fewer people in the city than we used to, but prices are way higher. So what's changed? The most important change that I see is that, considering we have fewer people in more real estate, we all live larger.

And you can see this in a lot of data. Average home size in the US has grown way larger, while household size shrunk, you can see in this graph. [2] The axis kind of get exaggerated a bit, but still the effect is clear. We have twice the amount of space per person today than just 40 years ago. That's not ancient history.

This seems to be pushing up real estate prices more than anything. And one way to solve the issue is to simply reverse this trend of living larger. Instead, let's live a little smaller. If you look at other developments in our lives, this should make sense. A lot of our technology has miniaturised. We don't need a library of books or CDs at home, no record player, we have multiple virtual desks, some of us don't need a TV. We're more and more able to use public spaces to meet people, host people, be entertained. And of course, the nature of the family has changed, we marry less and later, have fewer children, live more individually. The trend of ever larger houses makes no sense in a world where we need smaller units, and often can't afford housing as it is. There's a lot of room for more (but always limited) smaller units in our housing stock, I think. Although I'm thinking 20-35m2, not 10!

The second trend of putting small homes on wheels/trailer, just isn't interesting to me. They're mostly just campervans, only a bit less mobile. They don't really solve any issue, as they're super low-density. They exist only in cheap low-density areas where they can be parked, where there typically isn't a housing shortage issue anyway, or in a HCOL environment, in a grey area of the law when parked in someone's garden or something, which isn't a solution at scale. They're fun, but not a serious approach to housing at scale. Yet these terms, small/tiny houses/homes are often intertwined and it muddies the conversation a bit.

When I first learned to code in TurboC some 30 years ago I used the IDE's step debugger for a while. Although a great tool for learning how your code executes line after line, I stopped using it after a short while because I found it to tedious and distracting to go through the code this way. Being able to set a breakpoint and see the actual value of something I can do in an instant with logging. I never use the browsers 'debug' tool, tried it once and got bored already..

IMAO the code I'm working on should live inside my head, that's the place where I construct and debug. Even when I'm new on a +100Kloc project, I'd still prefer to read through the code and figure out what's actually going on.

I see so many developers in the JS world spending soo much time and focus on all those tools; types, eslint, debuggers, testing, etc.. it makes me really suspicious about whether they have the actual skill to write a good codebase. I can only be convinced when my code would be buggy and theirs flawless, but I never see that, it's for some reason always the other way around! Just take a look at this project (a random pick) with all those (virtual) safeguards, result: over 3600 issues!!! https://github.com/Microsoft/TypeScript

I mean 3600+ issues, WTF!! And I should be using this tool to prevent issues in my software? Sometimes it feels like this entire industry is broken.
I feel that AI in the form of machine learning has the higher ground because, as an engineer, you have an attack on the problem that gets you moving instead of contemplating whatifs of symbolic sci-fi.

There is also the question if ML is not simply moving us into a ditch of optimum locality. I think it does.

I'd love to see symbolic AI take a foothold only to have it explain back its rationalizations (which ML can't).
I don't think it has anything to do with patriotism in and of itself as this applies to most of everything. This $100 phone will cover literally 100% of my use cases in a 100% satisfactory fashion. This $200 (let alone $1000) phone will do the same. Let me think, I'll get the $1000 one!

Companies have convinced people, particularly in the US, that products are reflections of themselves. In doing so they've convinced people to engage in completely irrational consumer behavior on a very wide scale. $1000 phones for one group of people is the same as $300 sneakers for another group -- wasting money to try to convey an image. That $1000 phone has parts worth a few hundred bucks, the sneakers are made for about $15. It's only with extreme irrationality that these would ever be viable business models.

This is one of the big reasons I go out of my way to block any and all advertising. People don't think they're susceptible to advertising, yet look at society and people have become completely and absolutely irrational in their purchasing. I think it's clearly marketing and advertising driving this - patriotism is just one small subset of domains that is effectively targeted.
Freedom is just another lie when you can't afford it.

Sure, the marketplace provides choices - all with the same coverage in a race to the bottom, by nearly a half-dozen "health" insurance banks.

Burn down the Milton Friedman, Chicago-Boys church of economics. That dogma doesnt serve anyone but banks and oil companies that refuse to grow with the market. It only pretends to be a science, a school, rationalizing the effort to encourage the worst of human behaviour.

The only argument left is about whether Keynes or Marx applies better in this perspective. And I usually lean towards Kropotkin.

Democracy did not just happened in Europe. It does not happen by itself, without power struggle and fights and right conditions. The ideas that lead to democracy also dont just emerge automatically like something in born.

The fact is, those countries where people "just don't care" happen to be countries that violently suppress opposition. The opposition does not necessary want fairness and freedom, but they want participation on power.

There is always mechanism for fighting out power and ideas - prison or election.

I had the privilege of working on the IT end of one of the first System 12 ITT/Alcatel 1210 switches in the US Virgin Islands (a prototype since local telco was owned by ITT). It may not sound like much now but in 1990 that "look! after this warm restart this existing call is still in progress!" was a big deal, since the smaller PBXs tended to wipe working memory and dump everything on restart. DMS would later dominate the ESS market, but ours was one of the first that could support class 3/4/5 operations simultaneously (trunks, operator positions and subscribers) within the same memory pool which was managed as virtual storage separate from the processors.

Not Erlang but same concept and I'm not sure what the software development environment was, but the thing was loaded to the gills and almost all ops save major software upgrade only required warm restarts which preserved existing connections (perhaps with some delays of digit processing).

Two major problems I remember in those days was a bug in operator position handling where a certain operation created some sort of race condition that brought it all the way down. That was fixed but the other was not so easy... mainly because it was doing triple-duty as class 3/4/5, what functioned as a stack/event queue occupied an insufficient pool of memory to handle extraordinary events. And in that early state of development overflow of the event queue was a fatal cold start error ... from a cold start it took ~15 minutes to come up again.

Murphy's Law supplied TWO great examples to illustrate the problem. One was a severe cable cut, an auger down the street from the telco wrapped itself around ~3,000 pairs and triggered many events. The next was an earthquake... and everyone picked up their phones at once.
I don't know this for certain but I strongly suspect news (and reviews/criticism, which is editorialised news) doesn't make up a huge percentage of search traffic. People read news sites that align with their preexisting points of view. They don't often go looking for new perspectives. If someone wants to know what's happening they want the filter of their preferred news outlet, if they want a review they want to read or watch their preferred reviewer. They don't want whatever happens to be the top search result.

Although, that said, with Google personalising search results the top result is very likely to be the user's preferred site anyway. We can't have people seeing outside their filter bubble after all.

> the true cost of the bounty is dramatically higher than most people (even in the industry) can understand.

Only in a few parts of the U.S. with sky-high cost of living and rents. Most FLOSS developers are not in such places. (OTOH, high costs are definitely the reason why there's little-to-no "pure" crowdfunding for things like AAA-class video games, or live-action feature movies. It turns out that the cost of these things is so high that, by and large, people aren't actually willing to fund them when the full cost is made transparent.)

I’ve recently moved back into academia. Inspired by 3b1b and horrified by the awful state of the (PowerPoint) notes that were given to the students of the modules I now coordinate, I’ve taken to rewriting them using Jupyter and copious amounts of Blender animations.

I don’t see myself using these tools as I know blender very well and I’ve got a workflow. Equations can be exported from LaTeXit as SVG and imported into blender for manipulation and animation. The new eevee real time renderer in 2.8 makes rendering high quality graphics really fast. Then, when appropriate, I try to recreate the concept in simple Python and animate it so the students can play with it.
There are a lot of redundancy in themes, but I didn't notice a decreasing in quality of the discussion. The good now days are perfect to me.

Being used to that I think Chrome dev tools are amazing. I love that you get a call stack on every console.warn. All those console.log's can be removed in production via overloading or marking them as pure functions when minifying, as they will otherwise slow down the app. There's otherwise no cost to having extra info available in the dev console, besides Firefox debugger being terrible slow 100x slower then the Chrome console.

Show HN: Map for Game of Thrones
We’ve updated Map for Game of Thrones with a lot of features since its launch, 2 years ago.
In addition to the app’s staple feature, TV show recap, the user can now also review all 5 books in a similar, interactive manner.

You can now step through all the scenes/chapters of any TV episode or book and enjoy:

- a short summary of the scene/chapter

- full description or synopsis

- list of characters in the respective scene/chapter

- the location on the interactive map

- the full transcript (for episodes)

The app is also a handy Game of Thrones lore companion. You can search and browse through detailed information of 600+ locations and 1200+ unique characters.

For Season 8, we will be updating the app after each new episode.

Any feedback would be appreciated!

It took me a few minutes to understand the chart shown here, I think because it has the dependent and independent axes inverted.

To look at the number of people of a given age in a given year, you follow the line for that year, go down the left to find the given age, and see where it lines up at the top to get the number of people.

The shading between the lines is irrelevant and just serves to confuse: the area under the line doesn't mean much.
Sri Lankan here. I have to agree with this. I'm absolutely against censorship and suppression of free speech, but in this particular instance, it's more like a government grounding all flights because it's a vector for a spreading pandemic. Social media right now is such a vector. I'm certain we prevented a lot of retaliatory bloodshed with the social media blackout and the curfew.
I know someone who was sold to Greek first league professional football club by sending a YouTube compilation video. I was surprised and pressed my friend many times that what was even the point of his agent then and he answered that guess he knew what the email address was. Obviously he had shown talent before in other lower European leagues and they did have medical before signing a contract, but the whole thing looked comical to me.

The compilation video that is still up on YouTube even has some video editor watermark on it... For an average person we are talking about a lot of money changing hands.
Yes, I think that would work. Might be harder to explain to non-technical users.

This isn't new and has existed for nearly 20 years. Visa's implementation is called VAU (Visa Account Updater[1]) and Mastercard's is ABU (Automatic Billing Updater[2]).

Issuers (banks) have to provide the details of these new cards to Visa/Mastercard, and the systems are certainly capable of updating the details of debit cards. It sounds like TD had a bug where they sent updates for cards which they shouldn't have. ie: TD broke their own rule about only enrolling credit cards.

Card details which do not automatically update are really frustrating for customers – especially on services like Uber. In nearly all cases the customer is going to go and give the merchant their new card details anyway. My understanding is that if card is compromised (as opposed to being lost) then banks should not provide the new details. There isn't really much _additional_ privacy or security risk here beyond those posed by merchants/acquirers holding onto card details already – provided banks do it right.

Though zooming out a little, long-lived payment tokens shared among every merchant a user shops with being the way things are still done is crazy. How long it has took to roll out EMV (chip cards), especially in the US, shows how hard it is to effect change in vast, three+ sided marketplaces like card networks.
