Circuit breaker is a design pattern, not an architecture pattern.

Event sourcing is badly written. I'm guessing that one is supposed to look at a seperate event log instead of querying the data directly.

Not understanding the Sidecar pattern either. Does L4/L7 imply L4, 5 6 and 7, or just L4 (transport layer) and L7 (application layer)? Does sidecar then simply suggest seperating application logic from cross-cutting concerns (communication, security, logging etc.)?
Your client could sync the headers and the request individual messages as needed. But yes, your newsgroup provider had to have all the messages you wanted to see.

That's one of the reasons ISPs stopped offering them - they'd have to have the infrastructure for all of their customers to support something that perhaps only one person would actually read.

Universities would often not carry the complete alt.* heirachy for example (especially in later, post 2000 years where the binary groups started getting big).
> 1. on mac os you can press cmd+backtick to cycle through the windows of the current app

I'm fully aware, it is just so utterly inefficient for my workflows and my head.

With alt-tab it is back-to-the-last-thing I worked on, I don't even think. On Mac it is: was-the-last-thing-I-worked-on-another-app-or-another-document-it-was-another-etc

This can happen hundreds of times in a day, costs up to a few seconds at a time and more importantly it is insanely annoying when you know how snooth it can be.

And to rub it in: Gnome 3 has something similar to Mac but you can disable it if you are a keyboard person like me.

KDE is like Windows but can be configured however you like it.

> 2. except for some exceptions keyboard shortcuts are pretty unified across all apps on mac os and can even be configured in a single global place

Good thing they fixed that since 2012.

> 3. from my biased point of view of being a software developer myself: If I see a file chooser modal component that locks all interaction then I see a wrong choice in a UI component that does not fit the usecase. But if I see a rendering glitch of a component in a promotional video, it looks to me as if the whole state space of the component or even of the GUI stack is ill defined.

From my perspective: if a file chooser can block all other windows and I know people keep talking about the separation between apps and windows on that particular OS I conclude that they messed up that particular one.

When I see rendering glitches on an open source project (I rarely see them, but thats maybe just me) I conclude that they haven't had time to fix it yet and probably the graphics drivers they have to build on aren't as polished as those on other OSes.

But back to my conclusion: I'm happy all OSes and DEs exist. Some people honestly prefer every one of them for different reasons.

I'm just so tired of people pretending KDE is kind of subpar because it doesn't excel in all areas at once.
I had a summer job in 2001 which included helping the newsmaster at one of the biggest ISP at the time in Finland. If I remember correctly, there was a dedicated satellite dish to get the full newsfeed from some specialised newsfeed operator. Binary groups were popular then and this was done to avoid the huge international traffic via the normal routes.
Cell service is a commodity, though. They effectively act as dumb pipes for sound and data, and although they would like very much to not be that anymore, that is the reason they have customers. Also, there aren't many value-adds to be had at the protocol level. Everything else was already fairly standardized, so adding the number porting stuff on top of that was comparatively easy.

What we're talking about here is pure software interop. There is no standard, and any standard that would be devised would become a quickly-outdated albatross around the neck of the developers. Imagine writing code to interface with someone else's crap API, except now you're required to do it by law, and any new feature you come up with has to be either shoehorned into it, or more likely, go through a long and bureaucratic approval process, or even more likely, simply never shipped.

Id go a lot further and say you should invest a ton in enforcing module boundaries automatically. Shopify's approach to writing their own package manager comes to mind - you cannot rely on code review to keep code clean. Entropy will naturally lead to boundaries broken down. If you want the separation of microservices with a network to enforce it you need robust tooling to enforce that.
My 6plus became unusably slow and remained that way even after a battery replacement. So I upgraded to a iPhone 11 after 5.5 years with the 6Plus. I expect to keep my iPhone11 for 5-6 years at least.
I was standing in Magic Kingdom at Disney World in Orlando about a year ago and had a very similar thought:

If alien archeologists ever came to a post-human Earth, they might discover the ruins of Disney World and mistake it for our temples. A tribute to a pantheon of gods.

I guess it sort of _is that_ in a way, ha.

I was about to, but I have some issues with battery life and charger plug, so it would be cheaper to buy a lower end iPhone (like the 12 mini) - so I am in a slight dilemma now.

Most likely if this phones battery gets any worse, I will upgrade to the new iPhone 12 max (or current flag ship) and hope it will last years to come. My iPhone is I think now 5 years old, where the average phone life seems to be 2-3 years, so I am quite happy with the quality and don't mind the upgrade, when it is necessary

I agree except when I bike an hour to work at -10f I actually need a few minutes for my brain to defrost before I'm even capable of having a conversation. I'm not sure why, it's like everything I didn't exercise is stiff and needs to thaw out. Feels fuckin great though do recommend!
In my eyes, phones actually provide mediocre quality. Even the ones Apple released today, notice how bad are the night shots they display on the website.

I have a dslr with two fixed (portrait and panorama) lenses, and night or day, every single shot is timeless. The quality won’t be outperformed by the next smartphone getting released next year. Of course, I can’t spontaneously shoot photos, need to decide when I want to actually shoot photos so I carry my camera.

Which is not a cons, even an advantage, if you’re truly looking for quality, not quantity.
I'm somewhat more sympathetic to this position in this case as Google was truly providing Unlimited (until now), essentially.

My issue is more that many things are labelled "Unlimited" but they aren't. They aren't even close. Cell Data plans are Unlimited* (Up to 15GB tethered, Up to 25GB at 4G speed, Video limited to 720P)

The thrust of my point is that if you say Unlimited, you should mean it. If that means nobody says it, I'm okay with that. They have a business to run and they should do what they need to to make it work.

But I don't think they should be able to get away with selling it as "Unlimited" when there are several fine print details to define what that means that are as hidden as possible so that you don't know what they are until you've been parted with your money and run up against the limits.
"Left of the country" doesn't mean uncompetitive. There's a incredibly vast amount of political real estate to the left of the American mainstream.
If you're talking about how we sense light, it's more of a vector of 3-4 scalar values. You have activation levels for your rods and each of your cones.

Light is physically a wave, but that's not especially relevant to how you sense it.
> Also, would like to see widgets (and other bloat) removed and the bottom bar is not a nice thing to use either. Again, BeOS has a nice Deskbar that has a far nicer feel. Something along those lines would be awesome.

Basically you are saying you want KDE to be something it isn't.

You don't need to use widgets if you don't want to, why do you want to remove them from everyone else?

How much of that history includes jobs that can be done remotely? I'd say that's a significant change for certain cities that have a significant such workforce.
The average Apple user is trapped. Apple runs an ecosystem that enforces obsolescence at an obscene rate. In a few years, they won't be able to get apps or system updates, and their battery will begin to be insufficient. They will then face a choice of "upgrade", or the conversion costs of escaping the system, which can be extreme.

> That can easily be contrasted to Manhattan that was cleaned up by "broken windows policy".

I believe this is more a just-so story than a fact. While New York did use the broken windows policy, they also grew the police force by 35%[1]. Rather than a special effect of the broken windows policy, it could just be with more police they were able to solve/prevent more crimes.

One interesting thing about policing in the US, is that the US has fewer police than Europe and also more crime. People want to say interesting things about how politics or culture affect crime, but the simple story (where crime is high in the US because it is relatively easy to get away with it because there aren't many police) may be the best one.

My understanding is the motivation for Q1 is that vendors will stop including ODB ports since they can rely on OTA mechanisms [1], thus bypassing the intent of the previously enacted right to repair bill. The Globe editorial [2], despite being in favor of Question 1, acknowledges many of the concerns you've laid out. They suggest, as a possible remedy, that the Legislature amend the law if and when voters approve it, and propose "a compromise that requires all cars, including electric vehicles, to keep their OBD ports — which mechanics can currently plug into to retrieve diagnostics data ."

It doesn't help that more than half of the homeless in California aren't from California. (See, e.g., a LA Times series of articles on homeless in LA, in which reporters found that more than half of the homeless were from Texas and the Midwest.)

But the bigger problem is the ACLU and especially homeless advocacy groups, who have decided that being drunk, high, and shitting on the sidewalk are constitutional rights. It is literally impossible to get a homeless person the treatment they need for their mental illness or drug dependency because these groups have blocked all efforts by the city and county to administer such programs.
I've lived in 5 cities, across 3 states. I've lived in SF for 10 years and this is by far the worst, least responsive government I've experienced. From my experience in interacting with San Francisco politicians they all want one thing: Nancy Pelosi's job.

I don't think they care about anything else.

What I see is grown adults spitballing the worst, often national policy platforms/ideas to attract voters and constituency groups for a future campaign. I really do not get the impression they care about the community because the outcomes are so bad.
> So you agree that creating reserves is not necessarily inflationary.

Not necessarily, no. But in practice they create inflationary pressure.

> Also, a bank is not limited by reserves to lend. In fact, in practice, banks first lend and then search for the reserves in the inter-bank market. Those demand-offer dynamics between banks determine the interest rate. If the Central Bank doesn't want to loss control of the interest rate, it has to increase reserves in the system when there is demand.

This is exactly what my original post said. Of course they search for reserves in the inter-bank lending market. But the more reserves there are in that market, the cheaper they are to borrow, which reduces the rate that banks have to charge to earn their spread, which increases demand for credit, which increases the money supply.
Sure, but you need a lot more plumbers in a city of 3M people than you do in a town of 30k. And those plumbers create demand for housing.
I only use Apple phones because I'm against anyone else being able to run whatever they want on my pocket computer.

Apple has built a huge trust with my information, and that's impossible to find anywhere else.
I encountered this as well, the fix for me was a full reflash (from DFU) without loading the backup from iCloud. Apparently whatever was slowing down the phone was getting loaded back in. I'm guessing there's some internal cache or database or something that is grinding to a halt over time.
Wonder if it is because it is a University and Government town. Stable mostly higher-paying employment means more people in a position to buy their home, so less land for apartments. Also the captive market of students that had continued to grow puts upward pressure on prices for studios. Shrug.

In machine learning for trading class, a python for loop code was turned into numpy array where the code went from something like over 4 minutes to a few milliseconds. Its astounding how much you can improve on code just by a vastly better algorithm.

The romantic East Coast City on the West Coast. Yep. People will always come to San Francisco for the same reason they go to North Park, San Diego or Silver Lake, Los Angeles.
You should definitely get rid of whatever is being used currently. The first group I randomly clicked (alt.alien.visitors) was censoring the word "public" (and "sucks" and "pipe"), multiple times in the same post which, if it happens a lot, especially on innocuous words, is really going to spoil what is an excellent project.

Its not a bad idea to filter content though, and/or have a flag button on threads/posts. 300 million articles from 40 years of an obscure and anarchic corner of the internet are bound to contain posts that are either potentially illegal or which you otherwise don't necessarily want to be publishing.

You're thinking too small. A tiny fraction of the people in the US use GitHub. Even a relatively small fraction (certainly under 50%) can use Zoom to do their jobs.

Remote collaboration tools like GH have been crucial for remote work for software developers, but that's a really small slice of the pie.
It does, however, support the quoted statement that (actual level of recklessness notwithstanding) cities are safer than suburbs in regards to getting hit by cars.

Probably, but not vice versa (I'm not). So you need to be lazy and eat a lot of garbage to become obese.

> For example 부동산(real estate), comes from the Japanese kanji word, 不動産, which in Chinese means 不(not)動(moving)産(assets). Does this inferential aspect of Chinese still apply in certain cases once it is written in Hangul?

It depends. For this particular example, I think most Koreans will treat 부동산 as a single word meaning "real estate", because it's not a very productive combination: the alternative 동산 (moveable properties?) is a legal term which is much less common, and 산(産) as "property" isn't common either.

On the other hand, a word like 고밀도화(高密度化 - densification) is transparently decomposable to 고(高 high) + 밀도(密度 density) + 화(化 -ify). Few people can write it down in hanja (I just copy-pasted from dictionary), but most people will immediately recognize its meaning, even if they've never seen the word before.

Thanks for the reference, however, with only having read the description, I'm a little bit cynical already in that they highlight issues of 'values, politics and policy' - when I don't think that's the problem.

The problem to me is one of operational effectiveness.

'Making stuff work' is a grind - it requires focus, dedication, leadership, a bit of vision, commitment.

Even if SF were to have made the 'wrong choices' ie it should have built light rail instead of subway ... the benefits would be tremendous.

It's not at the level of 'policy' that US/Canada have 5 year backlogs in their immigration systems - it's a lack of operating intelligence and the ability to adapt to new scenarios.

It doesn't matter what policy is if nothing ever gets done.
> What are they supposed to do?

America's, and particularly the west coast's, homeless problem is uniquely bad. It'd probably be worthwhile to just scrap whatever they've been trying these past few decades and adopting methods used by almost any other country out there.

And I know this is an incredibly unpopular statement in HN, but the lax attitude towards drugs is a big contributor to the problem. I don't think people should be in prison for smoking or swallowing whatever they want, but I don't think public intoxication should be permissible either. When I lived in a certain large west coast city, it wasn't uncommon to see someone sitting down on a street corner and pulling out a syringe. It wasn't uncommon to see someone who clearly just took a solid hit of meth and decided to start stripping off their clothes on the streetcar. It was just part of city life there.

The attitudes towards this behavior are known pretty far and wide. Some people actively move to west coast cities because they know they can just give up on everything and abuse drugs all day without a care in the world. Treating drug addiction as some unavoidable pitiable disease hasn't been helping. Sometimes people do need a kick in the butt to get up and get their life together, and I think some cities are afraid of perpetuating the equally harmful effects of the drug war and end up doing nothing at all. Some have legitimate mental illnesses and can be treated in other ways, but most of the people I encountered were people living a completely carefree life in a place with good weather.

Article 20 portability is always initiated by the user who owns the data. Federation between social network platforms is very different, because it means swapping personal data not initiated by the user - when a friend loads my profile page, my node sends my personal data to her node. In fact, I'd argue that's simply a GDPR violation unless all of the federated nodes have mutually verified each others' compliance.
