Inviting the question: why don't the core devs have a serious bakeoff and bring that functionality into the core distro?
I'm relatively new to Clojure and have been interested in writing something like this. I have a few questions/comments:

- What made you decide to write CacheBustHelper in Java? I believe something like:

(defn bust-cache
[input-stream]
(with-open [rdr (clojure.java.io/reader input-stream)]
(doseq [b (.read rdr)
:when (not= -1 b)]
nil)))

I'm not sure the performance difference between the two though.

- Does it work with any web backend framework? Could I use something like Luminus or Fulcro? Does the request just have to follow the Ring request format?

- Looks like lines 183 through 198 on core.clj could be when instead of if

- what about making update-if-present:

(defn update-if-present
[m & v]
(reduce (fn [acc [k f]]
(if (contains? acc k)
(update acc k f)
acc))
m
(partition 2 v)))

That would allow you to do the following:

(update-if-present page-data :twitter-image cache-bust-one
:og-image cache-bust-one
:favicon cache-bust-one
:link-apple-icon cache-bust-one
:link-apple-startup-image cache-bust-one
:link-image-src cache-bust-one
:script cache-bust
:script-sync cache-bust
:js-module cache-bust
:stylesheet cache-bust
:stylesheet-async cache-bust
:manifest cache-bust-one)

Those are just some things I noticed on first glance.

Yes, I'm relying on the "continuous views" feature of PipelineDB which is like autorefreshing materialized views. I'm planning to swap PipelineDB with TimescaleDB in near future

Most of the heavy lifting is done by Postgres/PipelineDB with Node.js as a simple wrapper so it's both performant and consumes less resources.

A lot of the Hertz articles, including this one, fail to call out that the vast majority of Hertz’s debt is vehicle debt. They finance new cars, rent them out for a while, then dispose of them. That all works fine and vehicle debt is not a problem when rental income covers the interest+depreciation on the vehicles. Obviously it becomes a problem when rental income disappears at the same time depreciation increases because of a depressed used car market. Hertz clearly didn’t plan for that. But breathlessly calling out the headline debt number without acknowledging that vehicle debt is a reasonable strategy for a rental car company is misleading at best.

I get that resolving dependencies is a SAT problem and inherently intensive; however, I don't understand why it's so much slower in Python. Is it just that all of these resolvers are implemented in Python (and Python is really that much slower than other languages?), or does Python require you to download an entire package just to determine its dependencies? In the latter case, that seems pretty dumb, right? Like as bad as exposing the entire interpreter as the extension interface, rendering optimizations and competing interpreters virtually impossible.
There are certainly expenses incurred by the publisher that have nothing to do with the physical articles.

It seems like the marginal cost of the "last step" cost is still a very significant component, though. High-touch sales channels, handling returns (consignment sales), and co-promotion expenses all seem tightly coupled to that "last step" and sales of physical articles.

Mission Bay apartments were built after 1979 (or whatever the exact date is). It's all new construction, which isn't subject to rent control:
https://www.sftu.org/rent-control/
Streeteasy data [0] shows a drop in listings but no fall in asking rents. However there has been a sharp rise in concessions - i.e. free month upon new lease signing. My guess is landlords are currently keeping apartments off the market rather lock in lower rents, and when they do need to move a unit they use concessions since they look better from an accounting basis. I think eventually we will see a fall in gross rents but it may take longer than expected.

The article agrees that local is where we can do things about these issues:

> Moreover, it’s important for us to understand which levels of government have the biggest impact on our criminal justice system and police practices. When we think about politics, a lot of us focus only on the presidency and the federal government. And yes, we should be fighting to make sure that we have a president, a Congress, a U.S. Justice Department, and a federal judiciary that actually recognize the ongoing, corrosive role that racism plays in our society and want to do something about it. But the elected officials who matter most in reforming police departments and the criminal justice system work at the state and local levels
This concept is not new, it's called Tragedy of the Commons (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tragedy_of_the_commons). Basically, everyone wants something and no one wants to pay for it.
I live across from a high rise in downtown SF, can see clearly into over 200 units in that building (mostly studios and one bedrooms), and have been taking pictures over the past few months to track vacancy.

In early March it appeared to be ~2%. Now I count over a 10% vacancy rate.

Definitely seems like a real drop in demand.
I really want to see the Starship full stack launch but can't Falcon Heavy get to the moon now? I mentioned in a thread a couple months ago that they could probably strap the Blue Origin lander to the top of FH and call it done.

Same, when I had to choose the front-end framework for my neweset project I first looked at the UI libraries available at that time and went with React just because MaterialUI was so much better developed than all the Vue UI frameworks. The React ecosystem just feels a lot more robust and well maintained than the ones of Vue, Angular or Svelte for example.

Tell HN: Feds Are Considering Charging Twitter over Helping Coordinate Riots
There's no question that it's more important. Of course it is more important than basically everything on HN's front page. For example, HN had a front-page story yesterday about whether the French adopted vinaigrette from the Italians. Such a topic is unimportant to the point of triviality.

People sometimes feel like if a story isn't on HN's front page, that we, or the community, feel like it's unimportant. That's not it at all. Rather, importance is not the quality that organizes HN. If it were, HN would not exist. An entirely different website, or no website, would exist in its place.

The organizing principle of HN is intellectual curiosity [1]. Everything we do here derives from that [2]. In the case of a thread like this one, the question I have as a moderator (not as a human being or a citizen) is whether this community, in its particular manifestation in this thread, is able to have a thoughtful conversation in which curiosity is present, or whether it is not. We sometimes turn off user flags if the answer is yes, but not if the answer is no.

That doesn't necessarily have to do with the story itself being on-topic or off-topic for HN. A story like this (or rather the cluster of stories around George Floyd, the protests, the riots, and related topics like police violence) is too big to be called on-topic or off-topic. It depends on the particular submission and the particular thread. HN has had several major threads related to this story and I'm sure it will have more.

Your expectations do not match the market.

Businesses have rental agreements. Some company leaders have a hard time allowing people to work from home while they still pay for a building.

When leaders do their work by collaborating with others, it can be very difficult to understand that some work is best done in isolation.

So just because people are forced to work from home and some people like it, it doesn't mean it's a magic recipe for all companies to open up remote positions.

Final note: the market is turning down so there will be less hiring overall.
This really doesn’t match my personal experience at all. I live in Mountain View (work at G) and pay 2k for a 1 bedroom (non luxury).

Lived here 3 years and pretty happy with it but I checked Craigslist and padmapper last week for some of these supposed 15% rent discounts and found rent to be pretty much the same as pre pandemic.

This is anecdata and I’m using human memory to compare rates per location/amenities but I think I would be noticing even 10% decreases... and I’m just
People are moving out but not in. Move-ins determine the rental market price.
Agreed, the "if anything management is getting screwed here" got me good. Still not convinced management, who walked away with millions in cash, got screwed, but it was a well-crafted article.

Edit: I should clarify that by "walking away with millions" I was referring to their normal cash comp. 2019 CEO cash comp was $3.6MM, and she got $700k as a retention bonus.
The employers and employees is getting use to work from home.

Boycotting generally doesn't work. When Trump was elected there was a lot of fuss to boycott companies that did business with Trump, but it had no effect.

> Why do you assume they'll drop that revenue stream when they "get enough subscribers"?

Fair, I don't know if they will. I'm just saying that I don't see a better choice on the table right now. NOT subscribing to the news is not a better choice to me.
> Once upon a time, hacker culture was anti-authoritarian.

Wanting to rely on experts to provide accurate information (reporting, history, medicine, science, weather/natural disasters) doesn't not make me pro-authoritarian. The stupid anti-establishment fever needs to stop somewhere. I think in a world with free speech, I can also have the reasonable expectation that the leaders to not promote violence, racism, or bigotry.

As a former NYer, I'm hearing stories from friends who got out when offices closed. Many relocated back to their parent's homes (mostly to suburbs in Indianapolis, Cleveland, or NJ) or to family vacation homes (in Maine, Poconos, or Florida).

Selfishly, I hope these friends thrive in these new locales, whether that's through remote work or finding new opportunities. I hope they get out of their inflated NYC rents and bring new energy and ideas outside of the city. SF and NYC have had a chokehold on tech and other prosperous industries for way too long and this had ramifications nationally and in the cities themselves.

I really appreciate this way of articulating it. There are responsible and constructive ways that we can discuss politics in this forum and I hope that adopting a systems mentality can help us sidestep tribalism and put problem-solving at the center of the discussion. There are obviously still questions to be resolved outside of a systems discussion, like values and the proper ends for politics, but I often find that if you dig into those with humility and curiosity, there's more commonality than most people realize.
