There's a widespread NIMBY view that small apartments are part of a "race to the bottom," and by enforcing a high minimum standard for living space, we can make all families better off.

But of course, if you're in the market for a small apartment, you're not getting a large-lot single family home to yourself. You're getting a roommate situation in one. Five commuting adults in a house is arguably a worse strain on infrastructure than a small apartment building would have been.
Hi! I work on Vector. For a motivating example, let's say you have an application fronted by nginx. Using Vector would allow you to ingest your nginx logs off disk, parse them, expose status code and response time distributions to prometheus, and store the parsed logs as JSON on S3.

There are obviously plenty of ways to accomplish that same thing today, but we believe Vector is somewhat unique in allowing you to do it with one tool, without touching your application code or nginx config, and with enough performance to handle serious workloads. And Vector is far from done! There's a ton more we're working to add moving forward (thinking about observability data from an ETL and stream processing perspective should give you a rough idea).
This is very inspiring! I am passing the same problems in a React/Redux project, and I will certain consider Elm!
The NASA report [1] goes into the details. The procedure was to fire the service module reaction control thrusters to separate it from the command module, spin it to give it stability, and then exhaust their fuel in slowing it down. As the service module was not symmetric around its longitudinal axis, however, the initial spin was not exactly aligned along that axis, and would precess with a period of about 10 seconds. This would lead to sloshing of the residual service module propellants, exacerbating the misalignment markedly -- sometimes wobbling beyond 90 degrees. This meant that the thrusters were not achieving the desired change in velocity, and might sometimes even accelerate towards the command module.

After modeling the problem for various residual fuel masses, a solution was found in reducing the time spent on spinning the service module to two seconds, and cutting off all thrusters after 25 seconds.

Hydrogen balloons are much safer than people realize. The outside of the Hindenburg was made of solid jet fuel (which also happens to be decent airtight paint), which is what made for the really dramatic pictures.

> I'm holding off cracking the DRM until I need to

Last time I checked, there was no crack for Amazon's latest version of their DRM (KF8 files). A workaround exists where you get Amazon to wrap the content in the old DRM, but then you lose all the typography improvements in the KF8 file.
OPs criticism was aimed at Apple, but whether they take advantage of the option is really on the owners. Apple is pushing this aspect fairly hard though, because it's another way they can differentiate their product and due to the costs involved it's not something cut rate OEMs can compete on effectively.
my fortune 100 firewall is blocking it due to content. that greatly surprises me.
That's exactly what I do, I make a copy of every video I watch.
While I try to buy non-DRM books when I can, I'm still willing to buy DRM'd books as long as the DRM is pretty breakable(and I back them up immediately most of the time). If the books on Amazon, Google, B&N, etc were to suddenly have unbroken DRM, I'd stop buying DRM'd ebooks until that issue was "fixed". Every ebook DRM format(except maybe Apple) is already trivially removable, so I wish they'd drop the farce and go DRM free already.
I'm sure other vigilantes have been doing this for longer, but this seems like one of the major initial instigators of the movement:

Long Term Adderall Use
I am a 68 year old female who has been taking adderall since 1997, prescribed by a psychiatrist for depression. Several antidepressants were unsuccessful when he decided I should try this. My original dosage was 30 mgs 3 times per day. I stayed on this dosage for a few years, then decreased to 20 mgs 3 times per day for several years. About 6 years ago I went down to 20 mgs twice a day and for the past year have been decreasing to 15, then 12.5, then 10 mgs twice a day. A month ago I tried just 10 mgs only once a day and now just started 5 mgs once a day. I am mainly experiencing vivid, crazy dreams and somewhat of a foggy brain. I hope I can really quit this drug. 22 years of it and especially at my age is scaring me. Anyone else out there who has been on this for this long and has successfully withdrawn from it?

Are you saying that helium, a non reactive noble gas, can not be purified, or more properly, separated from other gas components?
Sure! I’ve written large apps in it and am familiar with the technology. My point is that whatever the reason, frontend clearly has made strides. So, is it:

1. Frontend was less mature to begin with

2. Frontend has a unique, definitional state management problem in the DOM

3. Actually, we can make real progress sometimes

4. Really, frontend hasn’t made strides, you’re just ignoring $x

5. Several/none of the above?

(I think real progress is possible and disillusionment with some new technologies should not prevent us from trying. But also that the DOMs unique state management problem is so overt that functional approaches almost couldn’t help but dominate.)
Glad to see we're hitting climate goals.
1. Download your own AAX files (using the Audible download manager or search around for some ways to do it w/o the download manager).
2. Find out your 'activation keys' using ffprobe and the inAudible-NG project, see instructions here: https://github.com/inAudible-NG/tables/blob/master/README.md. Needs to be done only once for your Audible account.
3. Use ffmpeg with --activation_bytes to convert AAX to MP3 or other formats, either directly or with a nice script like this one that'll divide into chapters: https://github.com/KrumpetPirate/AAXtoMP3

OpenAudible looks like a nice tool that'll automate all of these steps for you.

That's a good way to think about it! Heka was a big inspiration. The design isn't exactly the same, but we're aiming to solve a lot of the same problems.
That's very much picking a side though, and a lot of people hate that and demand dispassionate media.
We have tried to suggest this, but the community has overwhelmingly rejected it, both as an explicit plan, and when people provided such a thing.
Good. The more oil we pump, the less we import, the more we export (generally). Obviously different industries require different flavors of oil, but tight oil usually has great characteristics - light and sweet. A lot of people don't know this, but the oil industry was founded almost entirely by Americans, its good to see the US back on top.

I've had the pleasure of working for a large driller as a software engineer. The innovation in drill tech is unbelievable. I hope all of you get the chance to read about the upstream industry - phenomenal work being done. Oil is an industry where a ton of the knowledge is only documented in books or the minds of the workforce. so better yet, visit your local rig site.
"I think it can get as bad as a form of PTSD induced by constant low-to-mid level stress rather than one major upfront trauma."

I would recommend looking up a concept called CPTSD (Complex PTSD)[0] which is a somewhat controversial idea that one can develop a flavor of PTSD specifically from long periods of chronic trauma. (PTSD is ordinarily described as hailing from acute trauma.)

To be clear here, yes, editions cannot change the standard library, as it must be the same across all editions.
I always try to keep an open mind, I will admit if this happens regularly by mainstream media, but comparing real and nominal prices seems like a pretty difficult thing to get past people.
This is a complex topic and it can sometimes be tricky to kept track of how much was a dozen eggs, how much was a college degree, how many people had college degrees, how much is healthcare, how much would we spend on healthcare if the government was in charge, and thousands of other factors.

Creality Ender 3 Pro Review: A High-Quality, Budget 3D Printer
Really lock down privacy if you want:

1. Don't send location or app install data anywhere.

2. Route phone calls and SMSes through encrypted communication services automatically.

3. Develop and run applications without telling anybody.

4. Ublock Origin in the browser and adblocking across all apps (not just browsers).

Most people care about usefulness instead of privacy, and Android beats iOS there as well:

1. Install apps from the Play Store using your desktop web browser.

2. Start Android Auto on your phone when connecting to the car's Bluetooth automatically and use it directly on the phone without buying a separate headend for the car.

3. Upload photos automatically to photo services in the background.

4. Route outgoing calls automatically through Google Voice, so when people call back, you get transcripted voicemails for free.

5. Multiple user accounts, so you can set up a restricted kids account on your phone and hand it to them for entertainment in a pinch.

6. Install apps from other app stores, like Amazon's, that also run deals for free apps.

7. Game console and calculator emulators.

8. Browsers that aren't years behind in standards support, so you get installable PWAs for Twitter, WebRTC, etc.; and you don't have to put up with bugs for years until the sole renderer vendor fixes them (e.g., iFrame scrolling on iOS).

The specific thing, IMO, is the fact that the interface itself is specified in the Go standard library along with plenty of utilities for working with it.

Java does have similar things, but, as far as I know, they're limited to the UI libraries and far more complicated (e.g. https://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/java/awt/Image.htm...). Imagine if everyone who read or wrote image files in Java were guaranteed to conform to a dirt-simple "Image" interface with only three methods--with optimizations available but strictly optional.

For someone who's just tinkering or just wants to dump some cool bitmaps, the ability to write an "At(...)" function in Go and be looking at a PNG within a few seconds is just great fun to have in the standard library.

There's appetite for many such threads, but first try asking the question in regular 'Ask HN' without making it seem official, regular or too structured to test interest. I've seen quite a few questions which hardly got 5 replies. Yesterdays "Seeking Tutor" (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20328296) got no replies this month (some last month), "Who is starting a startup?" (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20335253) hasn't got any traction, "Seeking co-founder" (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19821656) had few replies.

According to https://www.niche.com/k12/search/largest-school-districts/m/..., Fairfax County (Virginia) has 187 thousand students, Montgomery County has 159 thousand, and the District of Columbia has 48 thousand.

My impression is that the size of suburban districts varies greatly by state. Of those I am acquainted with, in Colorado, Maryland, and Virginia every county or county-equivalent city has one school district. In Pennsylvania there can be several school districts in a county, some small enough to have one high school. I think that New Jersey is very fragmented also.
My main gripes are no TypeScript support and going to mustache-like templates after working with JSX/TSX is a step back for me.

I've backed up my eBooks from time to time & cracked some books over the years that I had purchased & wanted to put on another device but a lot of the time I don't worry about it.

I got my first kindle in 2010 and bounced over to Barnes & Noble for a while with a Nook but then came back to the Amazon ecosystem. I've bought hundreds of books over the years.

But just like paper books there are a lot of books that I read once and never look at again. They aren't priceless treasured objects for me.

The thing with Amazon.. people complain a lot, but their ecosystem just works the best in the eBook space. I actually find it a lot less annoying than some of the shenanigans with other digital stores like the iTunes store over the years. I haven't tried Kobo but B&N was always a hot mess compared to Amazon. Tons of annoyances in the store & device software that Amazon had right from day 1. And you were paying more for a worse experience.

Even 4k is a lot, and whatever memory is committed stays committed (and worse, it may even be paged). Perhaps it would be possible for the kernel to uncommit unused stack pages, but I don't think kernels want to assume threads never access memory below their stack pointer.
If the rare earths produced from the Chinese mines and refiners were of lesser quality, then you would have a point. If the refining process requires them to poop in their own backyard, then you might not even be aware of that until many years later, let alone have a free market interest in preventing them from doing that.

> So the failure comes back to people not actually caring about the environment in China.

Some people, many people in China do care about the environment, they just have lacked the power to do much about it. But yes, again, short term interests win out when the long term consequences are far away in space or time. And then it’s just a classic prisoners dilemma: you can think long term, but your competitors will just put you out of business short term so it isn’t a workable solution.

It's not new people have been worried about space debris for years. Also doesn't help that China intentionally made the problem worse when they tested an anti-satellite weapon back in 02007, then followed by the US as a continuation of the militaristic strutting and posturing, and now India has as well.

It's also a problem that gets worse as space is used more just full stop because the more we put up the more chance for collision and a cascade.

In the double entry bookkeeping sense that GP is using it, yes, everything is a liability. They’re also necessarily equal, which I think is where the disconnect between the analogy in the post and the analogy here comes from.
Many solutions are useful in a context, and were built with that in mind. My point is that much of the adoption of them is context-free. Eg. NoSQL solutions were largely about dealing with scalability challenges with SQL databases that most people didn’t have. Also the scalability has nothing to do with SQL per se, that was just marketing.

Kubernetes is a great piece of technology but it’s also hyped beyond the stratosphere. My point wasn’t Kubernetes about thoughtful adoption of Kubernetes in context, it was about buzzword bingo being played by those that want to use a set of newer technologies as weapons for their political battles or career aspirations. This requires active leadership to resist.

I have seven years of software development and management experience. Here are a few of my recent projects:

• I managed the development of an in-store e-commerce app for iPad. I was responsible for high-level technical specs, including information architecture, mockups, deployment planning, and API schema and design.

• I released an iOS app called Trumpet (https://www.trumpetapp.co) for sending postcards to the President. I built and managed the entire app from start to finish, including front- and back-end engineering and third-party API integration for processing payments and postcard mailing data.

• I managed the development of a platform to enable the training, transport, and veterinary care of bomb-sniffing dogs. I was responsible for estimating the scopes of work and planning and road-mapping releases. I instituted and led daily scrum meetings for a team of six, and we delivered completed projects on time.
