Love firebase, thanks for your work! the local emulator suite is so important a feature and keenly following your progress.

Slightly OT... perhaps cheeky... any idea why firebase doesn’t provide automated backups for firestore and storage out of the box? Seems like a no brainer and a valuable service people would pay for.
The communists were motivated by science and humanity. All evil begins with good intentions.
You might be normal. MB doesn't have a type for being in the middle of the range in any dimension so those people would get random scores each time the take a test. If being normal in all 4 dimensions is correlated (unexceptional well adjusted person?), then that might be the majority of the population for whom it's meaningless.
Correct me but isn't that how innovation also works? Maybe there's some great idea hiding in these 10%. Following your logic: we shouldn't have Redis, Rust, Go... Making something new is sometimes also about allowing yourself to _remove_ things from the original inspiration, see Vue.js which was initially a lightweight Angular.
How does a shared car not need those items? It is just not under your management and is accounted somewhere else. But they are needed and you are paying for it. The only advantage could be that you're not paying with your own time and then it depends on what is cheaper, your work time or that maintenance time.

That is basically what WSL1 is: WINE, but backwards.
If water/oxygen/carbon are readily available, I guess that would go a long ways towards making asteroids self-sufficient. On the other hand, if they're available but one can only extract a small amount at a time as a byproduct of mining, then Mars might still be pretty attractive where those things are available in inexhaustible quantities with low effort.

I'm assuming that huge amounts of methane (or other suitable fuel) and oxygen will be wanted for propellant, though maybe ion propulsion makes that less essential.
For my bank they just send a verification request to the app (or web page using your one time code book if you prefer that) to verify who you are. So basically the same process as logging into the bank and/or verifying payments.

> because it's not great for non-power end users.

Depends on what's the bar for "power users" I suppose.

git is easy for the daily use case where nothing special needs to be done and nothing goes wrong. But that's the vast majority of the time, so mostly it's fine.

It is when anything out of the ordinary flow needs to be done that it becomes impenetrable and often leads to data loss (or at least, an irrecoverable state which requires restoring from backup).

I've been using source control over 30 years now, with the vast majority of those years being on distributed source control systems (starting with Sun's teamware in the mid-90s). git is the one and only where I have had to adopt the practice of making a tarball of the current working dir before any nontrivial operation. And I end up having to use that backup every so often as git gets into some irrecoverable state of confusion.

Some of the comments in this and other git threads suggest (and I'll believe it) that if I were to dedicate substantial time to become an expert in the implementation detail and inner working of git, it might be possible to avoid these irrecoverable states. Ok.

That right there is an indication of a massive user interface failure.

As another commenter mentioned, MiniZinc is a DSL for modelling combinatorial optimization problems, and Google or-tools is a solver that can solve such problems. So it is not really comparable in that sense.

The benefit of using MiniZinc instead of a specific solver directly, is that the user can try different solvers easily to find the one that works best for their problem. The drawback is naturally that it may be harder to use solver specific features.

The MiniZinc challenge is a competition that pits these solvers against each other. Note that the group that runs the challenge also develops solvers (which are ineligible to win prizes in the challenge, but are participating), and that these solvers are sometimes better than Google or-tools (no solver dominates all other solvers). See https://www.minizinc.org/challenge2020/results2020.html to get the full results.

Finally, while solving speed is of course important, it is not always the most important issue when developing a cobinatorial optimization solution. Choice of general tech stack, documentation, support, ease of integration, local expertise, and so on are important issues, as it is for every large dependency choice.
I got the same result across 4 different accounts.

There are 4 different ones I use. One I use professionally, one to mod an extremely large subreddit, one I use that’s semi-anonymous, and one I’ve had for like 8 years.

Different audiences for each account but apparently all indicating the same type. I guess that validates the consistency of the tool.

It's with thoughts like that I think that we destroy our lifestyles.

For many, it's too costly to own a car these day, leasing the couch on airbnb may become an obligation more than a choice. While ordering from door dash since fast food is cheaper than cooking at home. We already let the plumber, electrician and whatnot take our cash for things we could easily do with a bit of learning.
I wonder what your thoughts are on what will happen when the world opens back up.

I once read similar warning on a raspberry shroud I bought. It warned me not do cutting (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cutting_(plant)). I did not know of this technique, but now I know. So I do not know if these warnings are effective or get the idea across to people that you can do these things.
By exist I am referring to the validity of the binary measurements. If I ask you where you generally sit on the binary scale of awake and asleep you couldn’t give a definitive answer because it changes depending on the circumstances. It’s a meaningless measurement (as alluded to in your copy paste). I get the same from MBTI.

Thank you. I just finished reading the article.

I am interested in designing small cities. The future is curt states but what we can start by creating self sustaining micro cities first?

I am very disheartened by how we handle our waste water. I have also been reading about sewage systems in mohenjadaro and Greece and roman and Asia and India.

http://indiafacts.org/best-practices-in-indic-hygiene-sanita... : quoting;

[..] It is interesting that the miasma theory prevalent in Europe promoted the dumping of human waste into water bodies. According to this obsolete theory, diseases are caused by bad air or foul odours. The water closet or flush toilets were hailed by Londoners because it removed smells from housing in accordance with the miasma theory. Excreta was disliked only for its smell not for its potential to cause disease. The more it was dumped in the Thames, the safer the residents of London felt [16]. “The city’s sewer commissioners proudly noted the huge volume of human waste that the city’s toilets efficiently deposited into the river; twenty nine thousand cubic yards in the spring of 1848 and eighty thousand cubic yards by the winter of 1849.”[..]

[..] However, it must be remembered that throughout history, the task of handling wastes and faeces has never been a dignified one. [18] Until as late as the 20th century, human excrement had to be removed physically from cesspits and privies in Europe. [16,18] The European lower-caste people who did the dirty job were called gongfermours (French) or gong farmers in English. [18] The gong farmers of England were only allowed to work at night, so they were also called nightmen. They came into respectable neighbourhoods in the dead of the night, emptied cesspits and carted away the wastes to the boundaries of the cities. They were required to live in certain areas at the fringes of the city and could not enter the city during daytime. There were severe penalties for breaking this rule. Even after water closets arrived on the scene, their contents flowed into cesspits for a long time and needed to be cleaned out by nightmen. [18][..]

[..] Wastes in the house were collected in jars and carried by the maids to a pile by the front door of the house. Servants then carried the wastes to the fields to be spread out as fertilizer. Any elimination was then done into jars or pots. Such chamber pots can be identified by their low shape and the presence of a lid. This probably was the method used until near the Roman period when latrines were used. The Romans built continuously flushing latrines which had a stone with a hole in it mounted over a continuously flowing trough. The water was provided by an aqueduct and carried to well-built sewers. The Romans provide no treatment though, so the outlets to the rivers were quite polluted. This did keep their cities relatively clean. The Greek cities often dumped the waste into the streets. This practice was more prone to the spread of disease.[..]
I think the point is, to steal an ironic phrase, that the signal to noise ratio of issues is utterly insignificant. Nearly all the research is inconclusive and anything which is conclusive isn’t reliable. I don’t think that is enough to act upon myself. The communications agencies around the world have provided us with well researched safe exposure limits and compliance.

If you have a few hundred dollars to burn and want to feel better, do it but that’s just bankrolling the idiots selling magic unicorns. The real solutions used in laboratories and industry run well into five figures.

Perhaps interestingly I spent a few hours the other day chasing down a prominent signal working its way into my spectrum analyser. What was it? Well it turned out to be a clock PLL harmonic off my Ryzen PC. That was far above the relative power of the WiFi router about 6 feet away from it. My interest in that signal? Purely academic as I thought my SA was broken again :)

I was just thinking about posting a comment about 16 psyche... I hadn't heard about the exploration mission, that should be pretty interesting. Iirc, 16 psyche is thought to possibly be a fragment of a planetary core and so it might contain a completely different proportion of metals than what you might find on the Earth's surface.
The younger generation isn't taught to touch type in schools anymore. I'd be surprised if it didn't significantly drop between two cohorts of regular keyboard users from this generation and 20 years ago, honestly.

The vinyl and early CD days (when there were far fewer small bands) are a long time from Spotify though.

There was an explosion of small bands brought on by the internet and cheap digital distribution, but I doubt people started buying more at the same percentage as the amount bands increased.

Ditto on annual billing. Most companies think in terms of annual budgets anyway. It’d also cut down on support issues related to billing for a one-dev shop.
How about someone else is controlling your infrastructure and your project completely depends on their good will.

Woah...Unfortunately not. I decided to use social login as it is one of the safest way to implement user registration. Do you have any social account? Maybe LinkedIn?
Otherwise, I am sure, I could add you manually, if you are interested.
Ruling regarding Sujood ul-sahw (sajdah sahu or prostration of forgetfulness)
The streets in LA are also ridiculously wide with few barriers and obstacles unless you get into the hills. This is a recipe for drivers speeding up, and never bodes well for bicyclists or pedestrians who don't benefit from the wider spacing when they're crossing streets or navigating intersections. In my limited experience, NYC has many narrower streets but is still problematic especially outside of Manhattan, and SF is similar in some parts.

Mining an asteroid far away and then spend fuel to shuttle material from it to GEO or Moon seems rather uneconomical.

I would suggest finding a small enough (a few dozen kilotons) space rock made of a valuable / precious metal, and brought to it a large solar array and an ion gun. Metals make good ion gun fuel. Slowing the asteroid down to fall to an elliptic orbit around Earth, and then righting the orbit to put it on GEO or drop it to.the Moon seems doable with a rather limited use of mass. Technology permitting, a large enough solar sail could help slow down / steer the rock on its way towards Earth (or Moon, or Mars).

[..] DOWSING - THE ANCIENT SCIENCE
There are numerous references to pendulums and dowsing tools in the art and literature of many ancient civilizations dating back as far as eight thousand years. These types of tools were also used by the Greeks and Romans of classical times, as well as the Celtic Druids and ancient Chinese.

In 1949, while searching for evidence of lost civilizations in the Atlas Mountains of North Africa, a group of French explorers found a massive system of caverns known as the Tassili Caves. Many of the walls in these caverns were covered with wonderfully preserved pre-historic paintings. One of the most remarkable ones that they found was a huge wall painting of a dowser, holding a forked branch in his hand searching for water, surrounded by a group of admiring tribesmen. The wall murals in these caverns were carbon dated and found to be a least eight thousand years old. [Reference: https://dowsers.org/dowsing-history/ Article by Lloyd Youngblood. Please visit this wonderful site for more comprehensive information about the history of dowsing. [..]

This total equates to 80 million dollars per USA death from the virus.

Perhaps it's the tradeoffs that bother HN. For example, accepting "douchey anticompetitive moves" in exchange for utilising inevitable progress of the internet. One common response could be that the tradeoff isn't worth it; HN would be willing to sacrifice utilising the progress being made in exchange for avoiding the neverending "douchey anticompetitive moves". As I read these "nostalgic" comments, HN is not denying that progress is occurring. HN is questioning whether the tradeoff for utilising the progress, under "douchey anticompetitive" terms, is actually worth it. HN does not long for the level of progress of the 90/00's, it reminisces about the time before every iota of progress was extricably linked to "douchey anticompetitive moves".

Interview with Scott McKinney on improving static typing
Looks great addition
Yeah, there’ll be some suburbanization, but you’re right to point out that access to schools and belonging to similar-minded communities has sway. Besides the current trend to urbanize is on par with more Millenials reaching their 30s and some in 40s, so the trend should not be as surprising given reproductive habits.

Sounds like before you could run your code on a bunch of different providers, and now you can only run it on one that has S3, SES, and Dynamo.
how pragmatic is algebra driven design in the real world?
Real world are full of exceptions, and I am doubtful those can be modelled with any kind of algebra.
"docker-compose up" and your OS, codebase, dependecies and data is up and running locally in the exposed local port of your preference. You can even split parts in different layers to mimic a services/cross-region logic.

Of course this won't fix the fact that you have a lambda behind api gateway that does some heic->jpg conversion and can't be hit outside the DMZ, or some esoteric SQS queue that you can't mimmic locally - but it should get you almost there.
> developers can produce generic code

There is nothing generic about the code that runs on serverless services. It’s the ultimate lock in.

It would have been nice to know how the software side of the clustering was set up. How easy/painful was it to let the different pies know they were part of a single cluster, how easy/painful was it to have different programs seemlessly use resources from different pies, etc.
Unless I’be misunderstood, every knock against serverless above has actually been a knock against the complexity of having tiny, de-coupled cloud native services and how difficult it can be to mock... to which the answer is often “don’t mock, start by using real services” and then when that is less reliable or you need unit tests, then mock the data you expect. In the case of SNS, mock a message with the correct SNS signature, or go one layer deeper, stub out SNS validation logic and just unit test the function assuming the response is valid or invalid? In the case of Postgres, you could use an ORM that supports SQLite for dependency-free development but at a compatibility cost... worst case you might need to have your local machine talk to AWS and host it’s own LetsEncrypt certificate and open NAT port... but one can hope it doesn’t come to that...? Even so... that’s not exactly a knock against serverless itself, is it?
