Asking out loud, but is anyone aware of a way to build Ruby on Rails assets with Deno in place of yarn and node?

The use case is to be able to leverage ES6/Typescript but have security built into the assets management. I'm not unhappy with the sprockets pipeline, but I would like to move forward with a modern assets pipeline without having to think too hard about the security implications of using yarn and node.

I didn't assign anyone leftist and I agree that to do so is silly. But it is somewhat noteworthy that the connotation exists, don't you think?

Honest question, perhaps it's that they're just more socially aware? That they respond better to societal pressures and feedback loops.
Sorry, more investigation prior to mitigation than mitigation. I think moving the lambda aspects of sst to a lambda extension would allow for a workflow like this:
1. Find production issues
2. Replicate production issues in user facing tools
3. Run a local `sst start <fn> --filter '.userId == 'my-user-id'` to have remote <fn> connect to my local for any requests that match `evt.userId == 'my-user-id'`
4. Replicate issue and debug with the request sent to this particular lambda, potentially many calls away from the user action
5. Patch and deploy.

Being able to debug in situ would be fairly incredible in a complex application.

None of that is meant to take away at all from what you've built. What you have here is really awesome and I'm excited to use it.
Yes, and I'd argue this was beyond a simple "mistake", it's borderline negligence for anyone but a very junior engineer: https://archive.vn/oxbck

Why not make an external module for that? I don't see why it would need to be integrated into the runtime.
While we're asking questions, also ask yourself if the vaccine came in a pill form, would you be more likely to take it? If so, you might just have a intrinsic aversion to getting stabbed by a stranger, which is totally understandable but perhaps conquerable.
It's a problem everywhere in the US; all cities have these policies, but the coastal cities have much higher demand.

The reason you don't see prices spike in inland cities is that they can expand outwards, and they don't have much economic opportunity. Cities on the coasts can only expand in one direction - and because of international trade, they have more economic opportunity, so more demand.
I would love to be able to pay for a professional GPS where I'm not the product.

Unfortunately, what Waze has going for it is the community aspect, I don't see a way that could be replaced in a paid product.

So Google may be ruining it further, but I can't see a way forward for a commercially viable "good" driving gps product, which is either a great opportunity for someone to build one, or just too bad.
that happens with everything, not just covid.
Also join a CSA (here's a guide https://www.localharvest.org).

I've bought nearly all my food for a few years from my CSAs, farmers markets, and food co-op. Nothing from any of the companies listed in the article. Much of the food I know the farmers and vendors.

As a side effect, the last time I emptied my garbage was Christmas 2019. I buy almost nothing packaged. I calculated my annual food expenses and it's a bit under the national average, but that includes feeding at least 50 other meals since CSAs provide so much food.

For people who don't have access, I've led workshops to people in food deserts, but the most effective way to improve access for others is to support CSAs, farmers markets, and food co-ops yourself.

If your area lacks them, it takes effort, but my family helped form a food co-op when I was young and it has become a cornerstone of the community. Every community benefits from healthy, delicious food.

> “Loss of sovereignty” is how they felt about it, how many discussed it.

Yup! I agree, there will be many holdout countries. However, even the UK uses the USD as the world's reserve currency.

> Why would those parties have Venezuelan interests in mind rather than their own?

Venezuela was fucked because a handful of people are performing bad monetary policy. While the interests of each mining operation would be their own interests, in aggregate, the interests of all BTC mining is a globally averaged monetary policy. Unaffected by corruption, or stupidity (whichever you think is a more apt description of Venezuela's current monetary problem).
I agree, but I don't think the literal lord of a property should be able to force people to migrate by demanding higher tribute. There should be a rational humane process that isn't driven by simple greed.
If I ever come to HN and the top comment about Bitcoin is NOT a grumpy “I could build that in a weekend with Aws” style comment I will know the top is finally in. I think the issue is Bitcoin is no longer tech news- its a finance, or social or business topic and for some reason it inspires engineers to try to reanalyze everything from first principles to write angry comments that miss the forest for the trees. I can only imagine how something like NFTs which truly appear to be a baseless speculative mania would go over.
I'm voting you up, but a respectful disagreement...

I think that sometimes seeing a person meander through related concepts and take a fresh look at them can be quite valuable; likewise, non-technical language can make things accessible.

Even if there's no grand takeaway.

I know, for me, sometimes I quite like this sort of thing and sometimes I find it tiresome. But in the right mood, I find it very valuable.

Likewise, I could send this piece to someone who has no technical background at all and has not the Bitcoin whitepaper or any further analyses, and then have an interesting conversation afterwards.

A single person is not "the leadership". Blaming just corporate leadership is also unproductive; if incentives and lack of oversight encourage this outcome, punishing and replacing the leadership is just playing musical chairs. Saying "the buck stops with them" is pretty useless unless your goal is simply to declare a target for emotional rage.
One issue I've come across is that the query optimizer in Clickhouse does not propagate `where` clauses through a join. My terminology might be wrong, so consider this example:

select *
from a
inner join b using (id)
where b.foo = 'bar'

Clickhouse will not evaluate `foo = 'bar'` before performing the join, so you might wind up with a join that produces a large intermediate result before the filtering happens. Postgres (probably other databases) will optimize this for you. To force Clickhouse to filter first, you would need to write something like

select *
from a
inner join (
select *
from b
where foo = 'bar'
) b using (id)

Maybe not a strict limitation, but the workaround is a bit janky.
It's illegal to build at all on some plots of land. It's illegal to build apartments on most plots of land in most cities (this is called "single-family zoning" and it dominates most U.S. cities). It's illegal to build large apartment buildings on still more plots of land.

And then, yes, of course, there are some plots of land where it's legal to build one or more of the categories listed above.

The places where housing is scarce are in the former groups, by and large, not the latter, which is to say the problem where housing is scarce is indeed that it's illegal to build enough housing there. Those places don't need to incentivize development. They need to make it legal.
Not at all, owners take on the risk and capital responsibility. I suspect those who bought in Detroit in the peak of that market would not look like a winner today. An extreme example, but still. Other less extreme examples would be in international markets where the base currency has declined - nominally the houses are more expensive, but in real terms could have lost over 50% of value.

If the housing market is relatively flat (and the currency is stable), then owning still typically provides you with benefits, such as equity accumulation.
"All" the foods you buy? This is a seriously clickbaity headline and not even what the Oxfam source material claims. (It would be slightly more correct if it said, "All the junk food you buy in the grocery store")
The voters don’t know when police are overstaffed, that’s the problem. Only police management understand how over-subscribed officers are and they have no incentives to fix it when there are too many officers for what’s really needed.

You live in a fantasy if you think voters make rational decisions about policing based on police-load.

Blacklane is good stuff. We’ve used them in places where ExecuCar (from SuperShuttle) would not provide service, and Blacklane provided better service than ExecuCar would have done.

ExecuCar is good, and worth the money when you’re in a hurry, stressed, and you want someone else to make that entire process as simple and easy for you as possible. But Blacklane is better, albeit also more expensive.

I can barely understand parts of the math in the paper and the abstract is no help.

Could somebody with more of a cryptography background explain:

1. What exactly is in the paper? My understanding is it is a faster method of factoring , but how much faster?

2. "Destroying" RSA sounds sensationalist. How accurate is that statement?

3. How likely is this to have an impact on real world uses of RSA like HTTPS?
As a tenant living in Berlin, the lede is buried in the last paragraph.

To complicate Berlin’s situation further, Germany’s constitutional court is expected in the coming months to decide whether these rent controls are even legal. If the judges nix the legislation, lots of tenants in the formerly regulated sector could get hit by huge and even retroactive increases in their rents. That would create yet more chaos.

The current Berlin housing market Situation has little definite insights on the effects of rent control, but all about risk aversion and maximization of profits.

The current shortage of supply is all about landlords withholding their vacant listings until that final court order. Or they are cashing out by selling them after fantastic interest rates averging above 10% year over the last decades.

If you feel you have like a 60% chance of getting double the rent, you avoid it at literally at all costs, below that threshold, to rent out on unlimited terms, if you can affor it in any way possible.

Where you're stuck on the long established mandated single digit rent increments, if the current pratice of shadow contracts should prove to be not enforcable.

There simply is just so much more uncertainty than actual rent control happening for the time being.

That’s definitely picking winners and losers, but not inherent to the real estate itself. Just shows that populist polices are not new.

EDIT: also, why prop 13 applies to non-residential real estate is another issue.
>... the blame lies on the company and the process, not the individual.

What about when the individual is responsible for establishing the processes? And when you blame "the company," are you not ultimately referring to those in charge, i.e., the C-level executives? After all, don't these same top executives claim a large share of the reward by arguing that their positions carry more responsibility and risk? So it seems entirely fair that they should expect to be held personally responsible when there are failures under their watch.
Maybe esbuild can help? It's a go-based bundler that does typescript, es6, etc. and a lot more. https://github.com/evanw/esbuild It's still pretty well integrated into the npm world and distributed as a node package though, so there might be some issues.
Aren't culture and cuisine arguments exactly "I like it, and I can" ?

Morality changes in time and space, and is a product of culture. Consider what other behaviours have been or still are a strong central part of cultures that we would find distasteful or abhorrent - cannibalism, for example, was still practiced by a tribe in PNG as recently as 2012, for cultural reasons.

(Which could expand into a broad discussion on moral relativism, I suppose; suffice to say for now that eating meat is, from my perspective, a matter for each to form their own personal moral position on rather than one in which a collective position should be reached or enforced.)

Chefs make beautiful art, sometimes with meat. Painters make beautiful art, sometimes with lead-based paint. We moved on from lead-based paint, and we still have beautiful art.
I doubt this calculation changes whether a developer chooses $500 or $1000 countertops. New units in San Francisco are not luxury units. Few have luxury amenities like doormen.

How feasible do you reckon it would be, for a group of some sort (maybe consortium?) to do it instead of a "someone"?

Am thinking that with the Open Source nature of RISC-V, it might enable more co-operative methods of development, as happens with software.

Just be aware you will be (indirectly) emitting more CO2, and using more pesticides and fertilizer by buying from Farmers Markets. So you have to decide what's more important to you. (Small farms are less efficient, less efficient means uses more energy and other inputs.)

There is a middle ground between the "processed foods from these mega corporations" (which I agree you should not buy) and farmers markets though: Just buy regular produce from a grocery store, and cook normal food.
IIRC, npm already does the same thing. If A and C depends on two compatible version of B, it will make them use the same package. If two version aren't compatible, it will use two package and it still works.

Thanks, "a lot of the food" may be true for many people, "all the food" seems unlikely to be true for anyone.

Respectfully, you and most people have no clue what plants experience. There were those studies published in recent years that suggested plants "scream" when they are being eaten or destroyed, presumably to warn other plants.

What would it take for AMD to support an Risc-V?

$50,000 for a house in Palo Alto sounds implausible, simply because there are a lot of people who want to live there and not enough land to satisfy demand. But, I agree that houses can and should be a lot cheaper. We could just build houses in the middle of nowhere, but without jobs and infrastructure it's not attractive to most people. Desirable cities exploit network effects. People want to live there because other people they want to be around also want to live there. We need more of these desirable cities.

Sometimes I wonder if one possible solution would be a sort of kickstarter-type deal for bootstrapping new cities. In other words, find a large plot of cheap rural land big enough for a few tens of thousands of people that's close enough to another town to have access to basic necessities but not where it's going to become a suburb of some other city. Get a bunch of people who want to live there to put down an up-front deposit. Create a non-profit to manage the deposits and handle the logistics of buying the land, installing roads and utilities, creating lots, and so on. The people who put down deposits are given lots that they can build on. Leftover lots are sold over time to finance more infrastructure development. The non-profit is replaced by a city government once there's a sustainable population.

My assumption is that if you can buy rural land cheap (like a few thousand dollars an acre or something) and then convert it into residential lots that are still cheap by urban housing standards for a few tens of thousands per lot, maybe 3 or 4 per acre, that generates the necessary funds that can then pay for the infrastructure needed to turn that rural lot into a buildable city lot. Another assumption is that this is being done purely as a non-profit venture; I don't think it would work as a real-estate get rich quick scheme because the temptation to not put enough money back into the town would be too high.

Another necessary component is having at least a few employers who are willing to set up shop in this new city. (Perhaps a branch campus of a major university would be ideal.)

If this did actually "destroy the RSA cryptosystem", seems like a proof of concept would actually be trivial to demonstrate. Given that, my bet is on this (or, rather, at least that particular sentence) being BS.

They used two 68000s. One was heavily modified at the hardware level to directly execute the simple S370 instructions, the other was a standard 68000 which ran standard 68000 code as effectively microcode to emulate complex S370 instructions while the other core was halted.

Pretty much any modern RISC CPU could be reasonably easily modified to run RISC-V code. An arm64 one is the obvious candidate. The ZERO register needs to be changed from reg 31 to reg 0 and a whole bunch of addressing mode stuff can be removed. The you need to either add support for RISC-V's "compare and branch" instructions (and rip out the condition code support) or else split the RISC-V instruction in to two arm64 ones (cmp then branch).

AMD could do the same with Zen3, but it would be a bigger job and a lot more would need to be ripped out.
