My wife likes to drive an SUV because of the high vantage point of visibility for the driver, and because it's easer to put kids in a car seat when you don't have to bend over.

There are reasons people like SUVs other than "leaves on the ground".
Everything is a 3rd party dependency then. The only way to not have a 3rd party dependency is to build your own infrastructure and use open source solutions (and even with OS you're still dependent).

I think OP was clearly referring to a self-managed solution as opposed to a set of 3rd party services like GA, Segment, etc, where the flow of data is out for your control.
5x? Amateur.

I put 3% down when I bought my house. That's 30x leverage.

The difference is that my lender wouldn't call the note on my house if the value of the home dropped below the principal still owed. Not if they want to see the money, anyway.
> - Returns are relatively low, roughly in-line with inflation

I wish. The problem with housing is that the returns are not low, they're reasonably high and really safe.

You can buy a property in basically any city, sit on it for 5-30 years, and be guaranteed to beat inflation by at least a small margin -- often a wide one. Sometimes this is true, even if you never maintain the place, even if you level the existing structure, and it's just an empty grass lot.

I wish housing was not a good investment. If housing could depreciate the way a car does, that alone would solve like 40% all problems in the housing market today.

Good question. We will be adding a static API key which is set as an ENV variable.

For our hosted service we put this behind an nginx instance that has more robust access control. We’d prefer to keep it this way so the realtime server can remain as simple as possible (and completely stateless)
Because we have no idea whether the benefit from doing so would outweigh the loss of non-stick and stain-free products?
Edit-compile-rerun is as fast or slower in Go compared to Java, C#, Python, Ruby and many others, and it's still an option in those languages. Comparing to C, C++ or Rust, or, surprisingly, JS, instead, you're probably right.

However, unit testing is not by any means a substitute for all uses of a debugger. You can add unit tests to reproduce an error in any language, but once your problems start crossing module boundaries, a debugger (or printf debugging at least) often becomes indispensable. And having an edit-and-continue debugger is extraordinarily helpful when dealing with bugs that only reproduce in complex application states (when your cycle becomes edit-compile-rerun-send50CommandsToPutAppInCorrectState-reproduce).

> This is market dependent. SF Bay is something like 5.4% nominally over the past 30 years, which crushes inflation. Housing prices in the Bay Area in fact imply heavy future price appreciation. [1]

Yes, but this is cherry-picking. In the US as a whole, RE typically matches the inflation rate. Some physical and temporal locations over- (or under-) perform. But in aggregate, that's the reality. There's no way of knowing ahead of time which market will out-perform. Investing in Bay Area real-estate today very well could continue to out-pace inflation. But that seems as big a risk as dumping $1M into Tesla stock today.
"The fact that power swings from Republicans, back to Democrats, back to Republicans, and so on, illustrates that there is a very weak majority in this country and no consensus opinion on how to move forward."

I think it better illustrates how really these parties are mostly the same. As AOC said, the Democratic party is a center conservative party for the most part. Biden and Trump are a lot more similar than people would like to admit. Just look at Biden's comments about video games and you can see how much of a reactionary conservative he actually is.
I'm not proud nuclear proponents are ignorant of the reality of the situation. They care more about being "right" than what is feasible today.

Nuclear would've been fine to go all in on 20 or 30 years ago; today, it's too late (considering the timeline between first kwh produced and breaking ground today). Mourning a tragedy isn't a strategy for success. If you can get it built, why isn't it built yet? Or at the very least, under construction.
Oh wow, I feel like there should be a separate idiom for second-order "whataboutism"... my imagination fails me.

I think you could use a NN to attempt to replicate the circuit under test, perhaps generating verilog, programming a chip and then running it against a set of autogenerated test vectors.

A generalized system for duplicating the functionality of a boolean circuit. If can use its own axioms and generalities, once it "understands" flip-flops and nand gates, can start to directly synthesize more complex logic.
then we should expect similar inflation for prices of all types of things, but that's not what we're seeing.
I respectfully disagree. It's not just fuzzy, it's completely wrong. Imagine 200 years ago asking an economist to estimate the cost of destroying 100kg of pure Uranium 235. They simply did not understand its value, not only because it could not be utilized with current technology, they did not even understand what technology could utilize it. Worse, if they understood radioactivity, which they didn't, they might consider it to have negative value, because U235 is highly radioactive and will absolutely give you acute radiation poisoning. However, today that amount of nuclear fuel would be worth millions, if not billions of dollars.

We have the same situation, but not with materials for consumption, but the natural world, in particular, rainforests. In 200 years we might actually have half a chance of understanding what we're destroying in 2020.
Even for page views, 10 lines of code won't replicate GA. Try counting how many hits, and you will find that all the bots and spiders quickly make the numbers meaningless.

Of course, if that is all you are doing, you should be using Matamo or Fathom or whatever, but it is not fair to say GA could easily be replaced.
Just the GUI is what makes me nostalgic

Same here. But not nostalgic for nostalgia's sake. Nostalgic for elegant user interface design.

I wish there was something modern and current that I could choose. All of the Linux desktop environments look like either like Windows clones, or like they're just skins of each other.

I would love something NeXTy. It could even be monochrome, I don't care.
stop using google, fools
I agree with most of your points, but I think the root of this problem is that most people will literally take out as much money as banks will approve them for. Once they lock in their mortgage and home, they'll fight for laws that keep the price of their homes high, even if that means artificially limiting the supply, or enacting zoning laws so no one can build buildings that might block their view, etc.

In this case, AWS is contractually obliged not to use your data. My criticism of the article is that the author mentions that users are blocking access to third party trackers, but that means AWS Pinpoint set up in the way he suggests will get blocked as well. People who have that concern have to expose Pinpoint endpoints on their own domains or implement some other first party tracking solution.
React has its root in the FP model, and the React ClojureScript binding (Reagent) works really well with it.

(reference: "I had implemented several iterations of what eventually became React, in a few languages - one of the first explorations began as a rough implementation of the reconciler and component model in [the functional language] Standard ML (CreateClass was a "module function"). This was really great because SML embraces immutability by default which is natural when building React style components. " - https://www.reactiflux.com/transcripts/jordan-walke )
> Tracker blockers are increasing in popularity so consumers can protect themselves against this tracking, reducing the effectiveness of your analytics.

More to the point: there is probably going to be a bias in the analytics. Different people have different reasons for protecting themselves against tracking, but it is highly unlikely that people who are unaware of or disinterested in the issue will use a blocker.
I wonder if it was designed with strong attachment points for hanging it from the ceiling.
Yes. The linked article is propaganda, period.

Modern reactor technology is the only way we can provide electrical power in the quantity needed to maintain our present industrial base without contributing to climate change, period. Comparative cost doesn't matter as much as the load type and generation profile. Waste storage needed is minimal, and at present waste is stored on site for commercial reactors. There would probably be even less waste with newer designs.

Nuclear proliferation is not a concern with newer designs as well, and has not been for years. Anyone claiming that new power reactors will increase weapons proliferation hasn't been paying attention for decades.

The only question is when the voices of unreasoning fear will finally be quiet enough for rational discussions to take place on next steps. Will it be in time to significantly avert climate change? I'd guess not.
Deploy a Rust Application on Kubernetes with Helm (2019)
Wait, what?

Google used to put the Wiki article right at the top of the results list. It virtually never does that anymore. This is what's bullshit.

The point of a good search engine is that it is supposed to conglomerate good results, relevant results - let's say I'm looking up 'Phillip J. Fry' from 'Futurama', but I still want wiki information. Wikipedia won't even spellcheck for you if you don't know how to spell something correctly, like a city name.

If I use a search engine, I'll get this Wikipedia result:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philip_J._Fry

But I will also get the far more informative Futurama-wiki result:
https://futurama.fandom.com/wiki/Philip_J._Fry

Wikipedia is not a search engine. Although, at this point, Google is barely one, so plastered with sponsored results it can be hard to find the result you're looking for, and with this change, I've finally made the long-needed jump to DuckDuckGo.

Yes, it's time to 'stop the fucking bullshit', and save all our mental states - searching Wiki isn't going to solve that - but not using Google can help. ;)

Comparing a search engine to wikipedia search is like comparing a search engine to a local file search.

If you're looking for a specific driver on your computer that you know the exact spelling and version number of, a local file search will help you find that. A search engine will return many results with download links as well as potentially other drivers, or other versions of drivers for your product - and will generally forgive you if you misspell something.
That's supposed to be a joke?
Mormons Built the Next Silicon Valley While No One Was Looking
It's been a problem since industrialization. There was a mass migration in the 19th century to cities from small towns for work. It has caused the overcrowding you see today. Hopefully remote work, low orbit sat internet, solar efficiency, electric & autonomous cars will all lead to further decentralization.

I don't see why if you could both live green and have space you wouldn't choose to do so. It doesn't seem to be a popular opinion here.

All of the big city problems are caused by centralization. I certainly don't see why HN isn't embracing this perspective or at least entertaining it. I see cases brought against centralization of technologies every single day here.

Luckily it's not up to you guys and it will naturally happen as we advance in technologies that allow us to spread out.

Ironically y'all are developing it via Zoom, Slack, Figma, and any other collaboration tool that further allows us to asynchronously and remotely collaborate.

What's the alternative? Abandoning the people that already live there and all the progress we've made in transportation in the last century.

The writing is on the wall, the technologies and ideas are pointing in that direction. The current solutions are falling apart and covered in shit.

I think that's the heart of why I so despise the GDPR. In an intent to change site behavior, politicians passed a law putting a burden on sites that did an undesirable thing (rather than, say, making the undesirable thing itself illegal).

Perhaps they thought sites would avoid the burden.

Did they not anticipate full shifting of burden onto end-users? Because being able to know how a site is used is extremely valuable to the site's owners.
I would keep playing through HL1 and then BM personally. There's some changes like to grunt AI (BM is based on Combine AI) that make the original still worth playing.

Why should we have to force socialize people in a context of killing others? We force socialize people in plenty of other contexts like 12 years of schooling, most of which is mandatory. That hasn't gotten people to play in a team. Why would six weeks be any different? The only thing that will come out of mandatory boot camp is resentment and hate towards the government, institutions, and people that demand it.

My parents and other relatives of their generation grew up in the type of culture you describe. They risked their lives and risked torture to run away from it. The six months of boot camp certainly didn't make the society more cohesive or the make the people trust each other. No one wanted to be there and people were still afraid of themselves, the police, and the government. If it wasn't on a different continent, in a different era, I'd think I'm talking about the US. Needless to say, forcing people to socialize against their will does not lead to social cohesion or patriotism. It leads to resentment. Especially when you force it on people who think that patriotism really is for scoundrels.

I guarantee that a 400+ module Go program or 400+ Rust crates will build much slower (if no other reason, simply because Go or Rust compilers do a lot of work that is deferred to runtime in C#).
> My reasoning is that people will only trust perfection when it comes to riding in a self-driving vehicle.

From what I've seen I think your model of human behavior is flawed. Aircraft have been mostly fly-by-wire for decades and software flaws have led to some crashes (most recently those of the 737 Max), but that hasn't stopped people from flying in planes.

People have already been killed by self-driving cars, but that hasn't stopped the testing programs. Tesla automation (though far from full self-driving) has led to a number of fatal accidents yet people still buy Tesla's and I haven't heard of any public outcry to ban them from the roads.

I too am skeptical that we'll be seeing full self-driving cars anytime soon, but not for the reason you give.

I think the real issue is that AI-like technology has a 90-10 problem. It's relatively easy to get to 90% of human level performance but that last 10% is much much harder - unpredictably harder. Unfortunately self-driving cars are an area where 90% isn't good enough, even 99% isn't good enough. You probably need to get to something like 5 or 6 9's to be acceptable for broad general use and no AI-like technology has yet gotten anywhere close to that.

EDIT: I didn't mean to imply that the 737 Max is fly-by-wire, but the MCAS system that caused the crashes is a comparable technology.

Because the man-pages project that he maintains provides the largest set of third-party manpages (outside the project trees themselves). The majority of manpages live either in the project they document or in the man-pages project.

> I don't know why this has to be met with so much friction.

The point of this thread is that it will often not be met with friction. Examples should be in a combination of the summary and examples sections of the manpages. (Distinct modes of operation belong in the summary, more fine-grained examples go in the examples section.
There is one exception to this that I know of: AWS Rekognition will re-use the faces you scan with it for training and "to improve and develop the quality of Amazon Rekognition and other Amazon machine-learning/artificial-intelligence technologies."

The Case-Shiller Index [1] has increased ~3.4% annually since 1900. The general rate of inflation over that same period has been about 2.9%, leaving you with a ~0.5% rate of return. Savings accounts tend to have significantly better returns. Even if you account for the effects of leverage. Note: this doesn't include maintenance costs, taxes, buy/selling fees, inspections, or anything else. So all-in, RE very likely under-performs inflation.

[1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Case–Shiller_index#/media/File...

ETA: I wonder why this is such a common belief? Is it because most HN (myself included) readers live in booming real-estate markets like NYC and SF? Those markets have done very well in the past 10 years. But remember: places like Detroit, Atlanta, Chicago, and Cleveland also exist.
