Hi, a few of the links on that page like "Show me my neighbours" are 404 for me:

Yeah, OS X copied this behavior from classic Macs. It’s worked like this for over three decades now.
That's why you introduce yourself to all of your neighbors to your unit when you move in. I tend to bring them some food or something when I do it. That way they're not a "stranger" and their first context of your face isn't you complaining at 1am. You should consider it next time you move somewhere.

> With that said, I think there are legitimate criticisms about the car club. For one, they absolutely trash the place every Sunday. When I walk down to the lake on Monday, there’s just tons of trash on the ground. I don’t know who picks it up but it’s certainly not the car club. Also, doing burnouts and donuts on public streets sounds fun but it leaves the road covered in tire rubber and I imagine it smells awful while they’re doing it.

Sounds to me like those legitimate criticisms are exactly what the "insane Weaver residents" are complaining about. That and the violation of noise ordinances in a residential area, for half the weekend, every single week.

People move around in America. Both within cities and across cities. I don't see why people shouldn't be allowed to complain about laws being broken, just because they are new to a neighborhood. If the city decides that certain neighborhoods are exempt from certain laws, they are certainly welcome to make that official. And make it very clear to prospective tenants that the "normal laws" do not apply in those neighborhoods. Alternatively, there are also plenty of non-residential areas where people can gather, play ear-piercing music, trash the place, and have all the fun they want.

I don't understand why having laws, enforcing them, and residents requesting for their enforcement, is somehow a bad thing. Much less a matter of racial debate. Selective and subjective enforcement of rules are generally harmful to people of color - we need more consistently enforced laws, not less.

> It's just code that gets run.

I agree. But it also means that it's mostly unrelated to the edge, or edge computing; with the same constraints the code can run anywhere.

To me the promise of edge is that it could work quite well with decentralized apps (not limited to blockchain-based). The work you guys are doing with IPFS is a great start.

Add: When you think about it, most current apps are centralized and it's unsurprising that they can work well with the cloud (AWS/Azure/Google); edge is just mostly CDN for now. Decentralized is when those models become incompatible, and where edge can show strength.
Agreed, they make this very clear in multiple different ways:

> core functionality of the PinePhone still an ongoing effort. Thus, the device cannot considered a consumer-ready product.

> DISCLAIMER [...] If you think that a minor dissatisfaction, such as a dead pixel will prompt you to file a PayPal dispute, DO NOT purchase the PinePhone. When fulfilling your purchase, please bear in mind that we are offering the PinePhone at this price as a community service to PINE64 community. Thank you.

This type of device feels just like an extension of what people do in the open source hardware community when a small group gets some custom PCBs made: Someone releases it on a forum, enough people show interest, they decide how many to get made and then one person makes and pays the order and distributes them without really making any money (considering the time they put in you might say they are losing money). That's what this is, just more pieces without you having to do surface mount soldiering.

Often with Perl it isn't the end product that is the issue, that is more likely to have been ported to some other language/framework, but instead all that Perl is managing IT and project infrastructure.
This'll probably sound silly, but we weren't really expecting much of a response. We've been sitting on these models (they were trained for the Pile paper) for months for no particular reason besides being focused on other things.

I made no such claim.
The American news media is tabloid level fake news themselves. As long as they keep breathlessly reporting anonymous sources as breaking news and pushing hoaxes With institutional backing I'm not in the least bit surprised that people will turn to any other alternative, regardless of veracity. As for myself, I've mostly completely tuned out (and generally ignore things like this on HN). Going a month without any "news" or social media is an easy way to see that it adds no value whatsoever to my life.

So something I've been wondering about for some time. All a GPU really is, is a couple of parts. The GPU chip, memory, PCIE, voltage regulation, and display outputs.

Now, the voltage regulation is pretty darn standard. You can chop up up half of an AMD GPU (the voltagey parts) and Frankenstein them to an NVidia GPU and have that still work [0]. The power transistors and the controllers (responsible for # of phases) are the exact same as in motherboards (they supply the CPU there).

Would it make sense to move the power delivery stuff to a separate, longer-lived part? Perhaps as part of the motherboard, or maybe have the GPU+memory+display stuff be socketable. Making a cheap 400A connector might be somewhat difficult, but not impossible.

Or you know... just cache them.

If your CI or deploys broke because of this, it basically means you're constantly re-installing all your dependencies from scratch, which is totally silly.

Configure your CI & other tools to cache the bundler directory between builds and not only you'll be protected from this, you'll also make your systems faster.

I'm beginning to think the whole "capitalist"/"communist" dialectic is meant to make people think there's a "capitalist" economic system or a "communist" economic system, whereas when the communists get control they make a "state capitalist" or "party capitalist" system that looks much like "capitalism" except it has a severely authoritarian political system (which everyone is told is a symptom of "capitalism.")

In other words, "communism" is an authoritarian/dictatorial political system that masquerades as an economic system until it doesn't have to put up with any dissent, at which point it goes back to "capitalism." (State or Party or whatever. I think they call their version "with chinese characteristics" in the west.)

The bar for employment for an Admin should be higher than other positions. It's a position of authority and power. Just as you'd want better background check on a police officer than someone working fast food. Both are needed, but one needs to be much more thorough.

Admins control the narrative and messaging on Reddit, which is their core business interest. Reddit should treat those positions as critical and a risk (in fact if they IPO I would imagine these kinds of controversies are listed in their risks).

No one is asking for purity, but you do need objective people that are more nuanced than the average. This individual has a background with multiple questionable situations. Many of which are recent.

Got it—I misunderstood you—thanks for clarifying.

Words and labels have become a very difficult thing for people to handle rationally. Within a span of just 5-10 years, a big handful of them went from being tools to bond people to being a dangerous virus that haphazardly assumes each and every person is immeasurably fragile.

It's a clear sign when there is a dramatic shift in how comedians are treated and responded to, that our society in general is more quick to jump to ill conclusions than they're ready to use insults and slurs to poke fun at each other and walk away unscathed, laughing with an eye-roll to top it off.

I miss those days when the majority (around me) were more light-hearted and understood that these moments of fun weren't used to harm others, but to build camaraderie by jesting about our differences and unique cultural idioms.

I worked with a very diverse team in the restaurant industry, and the majority of our jokes were racial stereotypes of one another, and it's safe to say, we all went home feeling seen, appreciated, and laughing our asses off.

It was fun that other people knew a few quirks about my origins that I was secure enough to laugh at, instead of feeling threatened by them. Many friendships were formed with light insults (and yes, often racial) used to break the ice.
Also as a random aside make sure your AAA membership or equivalent covers your RV. Those suckers can be expensive to to tow and that membership pays for itself.

That wasn't my point. You have to make a living, and in that regard fun is a nice-to-have. My point was even things people do for hobbies often become toilsome once they are your business.

Yes, he hired his father under the name "Balloo" and later said "oh it's a nickname".
I found this really old book from 1938 for learning German which is quite the artifact, one from 1944 on how to survive an atomic bomb which is also super old and has some funny advice/a picture on wearing a fedora to protect yourself from the heat flash... some book from 1924 on mathematics which takes a historical analysis approach to teaching called mathematics for the million which is pretty cool. It has a lot of 'field trip' kind of exercises which makes me feel like learning math was probably a hell of a lot more of a fun thing to people back in the day. a more modern book which is probably a lot better to be learning german from is in there, another one from 1950s with andy warhol illustrations for spanish learning called "madrigal's magic key to spanish" which i lend to friends when they come here to pick up some spanish fast I can highly recommend. I got a second copy after some absolute walnut took off on a plane with it and didn't even bother learning spanish, it's that good.

I also got a couple of computer books. Concurrency in Go (oreilly) and this one thicc as heck tome which is the textbook for the SEED security labs which is also super good, because it comes with a bunch of virtual machines.

Anyone able to report on the growth of the D community at all?

Lots of press lately goes to Go and Rust. I even hear about Zig more than I hear about D these days.

Yet I know of at least one company putting their eggs in the D basket (Weka).

Just curious if anyone else feels like this is kind of risky compared to other more-established options. (obviously chicken and egg issues exist).

Haven’t used D in quite a few years, but I’m thinking about playing around again soon.

It's fascinating to look at the thread about this on r/ModSupport (https://www.reddit.com/r/ModSupport/comments/mbqgx2/a_clarif...). Highly upvoted comments condemning Reddit with 50+ awards. But note that many of the posters edited their posts saying "don't give me awards". This shows a contradiction in trying to do the right thing while in public.

We have reasonably good solutions for problems like this: they are democratic, representative ideals. They involve anonymously measuring everyone's opinion (voting). Or randomly selecting from within a population (juries). The internet is creating an unregulated situation with none of these safeguards. If there is a solution to this problem, I don't think it is top-down control, I think it is the spreading of our democratic, representative ideals to the internet and into, yes, private companies. Not all of them, but certainly Reddit.
We have been using RDS for production and normal Postgres during development for about 5 years and the only thing you have to watch out for we found is that RDS supports only certain extensions and they are fairly slow making new Postgres major versions available. So e.g. if you want to use TimescaleDB you either have to run it yourself or use a proprietary AWS alternative.

It is just a Postgres running, but you have limited control about its configuration.

So as long as you make sure during development that you are not doing something with the database that RDS doesn't support you should be fine.

I don't know about Aurora, but I reckon it is similar. Standard Postgres features are likely going to work fine, but more advanced things are not going to be available on Aurora.

The main argument is it comes with primitives that makes most of the orchestration systems' features redundant, because all the components of regular applications can just interoperate over a single unified messaging protocol and API. To consume some custom service, you just read/write a file. To expose a custom service, you just create a fileserver. To do wacky networking, you create a union of files. No more masses of abstractions and glue to tie pieces together because they all speak the same language.

In terms of HA, the implementation will be up to your preferred architecture (master/slave, master/master, p2p). Plan9 doesn't schedule services itself, so systemd would need to be modified to adapt one of those architectures. But it wouldn't be a whole lot of work, and it could reuse Plan9's abstractions for most of it. Etcd's key/value store becomes just a filesystem, and Paxos/Raft could be implemented either as a network driver or a userland app, which combined with a union fs, means you just manipulate a single directory of files. You don't even need to futz around with TLS, and again: filesystem permissions.

It's not a 1/1 replacement for K8s, but I bet about 80% of the codebase would go away, and most (if not all) of the abstractions.
> There is regular news about how one COBOL system or the other has become unmaintainable and is causing problems.

Well, yes, but as someone who works in public sector in-house IT, often tangentially around old COBOL systems and has been directly involved in systems replacements for some that had become unmaintainable, I sit on the “familiar” side of the Gell-Mann Amnesia Effect with those stories and recognize that they rely almost entirely on the accounts of people and organizations whose massive institutional failures they cover for.

They aren't unmaintainable because “COBOL”, but because of poor choices is contracting and contracting oversight as they were developed, both initially and with subsequent revisions, which leaves them both poorly architected for change and without useful documentation of functional/behavioral requirements, concrete design, or, really, much of anything else, with key knowledge trapped in individual people’s heads, scattered among business and IT initially, and almost all of which have since moved on, leaving behind a smaller set of people responsible for the system who deal with it through rote, cargo cult practices that they don't understand the reasons for. They'd be unmaintainable if COBOL was a currently-popular language.

If you look at the same institutions, .NET (maybe even .NET Core) apps that are comparatively in infancy, only a handful of years old, are following those COBOL apps rapidly down the same path, and have frequently already become difficult to maintain.

But an old language is a convenient scapegoat for deep and entrenched organizational dysfunction.
Does anybody else find it a little scary to comment on this topic in case they get called out and targeted as well? The well written link posted to “wetheweb” discusses this a bit. Some quotes:

> According to the Atlantic, a full 80 percent of Americans believe that “political correctness is a problem in our country.” While today some smear the free speech movement as a “racist dog-whistle” or a “far-right talking point,” it turns out the numbers don’t fit that narrative. Turns out just about everyone thinks we need more free speech. This includes large pluralities of all races (e.g. 75% of African Americans, 87% of Hispanics) and all ages (e.g. 79% of Americans under age 24).

> A 2017 poll of 2,300 U.S. adults, found that 71% Americans believe that political correctness has silenced important discussions our society needs to have and 58% of Americans believe the political climate prevents them from sharing their own political beliefs.

Edit: Speaking of, somebody is flagging this story (to be clear, not this comment) to keep people from even discussing the topic. As of writing, they succeeded. We need a “this shouldn’t be flagged” button
