> Hasn't Covid taught us that suburbs have tremendous merit? Cities are cramped and lonely hellscapes during the pandemic.

I thought we learned the opposite. With offices closed city centres weren't quite so cramped and living in the inner city during a harsh lockdown gave me quite a few more social options than those in the suburbs. I could go for a walk (leisure or shopping) and catch up with most of my social circle, we could meet in parks and at times had larger groups gathering for drinks. In the suburbs there was much less overlap between people due to the lower density.

> the objective function for society is not to cram as many humans into a sardine can as possible

One of the major points Strong Towns tries to get across is about zoning, there's no need to be crammed in like sardines, this is just an artifact of strange zoning laws that don't allow much more ideal densities like 3-6 story brick buildings that are reasonably spacious.

curious what do you do when each type systems agree and disagree with the other?
Generally speaking, regulation is most easily dealt with by the market leader. They have capital that can be used to meet requirements, and can engage with regulators to make sure the regulation can be achieved by them.

That actually improves the situation for them. (Similar to how GPDR improved Google and Facebook's position in the ad market against competitors)
This is really reaching. Channelization as being referred to upthread in reference to SSH or RDP is a protocol level abstraction, rs485 bussing is at the electrical level for multiple physical devices and also doesn’t specify any addressing scheme, that would be specified as a higher level protocol (that could be done just as well over rs-232). Device addressing and channelization are not even logically the same thing.

Ethernet as it is typically deployed is not a bus either but it is used in channelized communication (packet switched no less) just fine.

Edit: responding to your edit. The point still stands this is orthogonal to the physical or electrical layer. The vast vast majority of the internet including Ethernet and fiber links are point to point and clearly they carry a tremendous number of separate streams, and a small amount of broadcast. You can run layer 2 over an RS-232C serial port, whether its Ethernet, PPP, SLIP or ATM. In Linux PPP is in fact implemented as a tty line discipline.

As for RS-485, there are widely used standards such as DMX512. It is not a strongly supported idea to put this stuff in the kernel, when performance in user space is sufficient.

Finally, RS-232 can do the same thing (multidrop) with electrical repeaters. See MAX3322 eg.

I won't defend TTY or bash, but I will say that awk has stood the test of time because it's an amazingly potent tool for doing ad-hoc processing of textual information, which is still a frequent task even in the era of Kubernetes and yaml templates. Why does it need replacing?

When I learned awk I felt like I unlocked a superpower.

I don't understand the dismissive attitude. It's very much an all or nothing argument that completely ignores the middle ground.

I personally think this is a fantastic gateway. I'd love to have a better global perspective, but I simply don't have the resources (or time) to build a deeply informed opinion. This type of media gives me access to foreign tech within easy reach. Honestly, it gives me exposure to topics that I wouldn't even know exists. If it's a topic that piques my interest, I can certainly find alternative coverage (hopefully with less bias).
Part of the benefit of Terraform is the ability to set up ephemeral resources and tear everything down afterwards with "terraform destroy", which is useful for setting up one-off experiments and tests. That kind of cleanup is completely impossible with Ansible.
I remember using a plugin where I could setup my Microsoft Sidewinder to skip songs and control other settings. I felt very advanced to have such controls.
Distributed [decentralized] databases are basically the most complicated software you can play with that isn't classified/proprietary.

Read through all these Jepsen analyses: https://jepsen.io/analyses

Then consider that those analyses were done under theoretical environments using failures that tests were written for. It doesn't capture all the garden-variety problems that happen when you are running 40 extra-extra-large instances on shitty non-cloud hardware and serving traffic to thousands of high performance apps on a globe-spanning network.

Things that seem stupid or obvious, like just expanding your storage, can be something these databases can't handle. Sometimes there are well-documented problems, like random data corruption, or replication that just stops and never starts again, or an inability to reconfigure a cluster without literally destroying it. So not only do you need to understand consensus algorithms and cutting edge functionality, you also have to become an operational expert on their quirks. Most are practically brand new, making them largely untested in large-scale scenarios, with features that haven't "baked" longer than a month in testing. There's no book to buy, and very few people to get support from.

Sometimes there's no getting around it and they are literally your only option to solve your problem. But it's not worth getting involved in if a non-distributed database can solve your problem.

On the other hand, if you are just a bored engineer and want to see some very big systems explode in dramatic and obscure ways, definitely use a distributed database.

I recall reading this article about Bangladesh[1] from the site. Even for someone who know basically nothing about Bangladesh, it wasn't hard to notice major inconsistencies in their narrative; my analysis at the time[2]. It seems they took something fairly ordinary and tried hard to spin it into a "look how different these people are" (different in a bad way, for the most part, from my impressions) story to sell to Americans. Needless to say I take what they write with a big grain of salt.

I think sites would benefit from having more rich voting options, for example: agree but weak-argument, disagree but well-stated, changed my view, etc.

Would yield some more interesting ways to sort and rank comments.
I agree. The pool of people that could submit code to a project is much larger than the pool of maintainers who could effectively integrate those contributions.

At some point an issues bounty will start wasting everyone's time. It encourages people investing time in contributions without a full understanding of the codebase. This is turns puts pressure on maintainers to keep up in spite of areas they want to work on. And when contributions are are ignored it creates a rift and misplaced ill will.

This site is nothing more than conservative propaganda, doing its best to hide that fact.

Nothing to see here: move along.
Interesting. I'd like to read more Marx to understand that perspective. I know a lot of people think in those terms, but I'm not familiar with it. So I guess that's why I don't know how to think about your take on the event that Greenwald narrates as an exception to his theory.

I find his case pretty compelling, because of my observations of how so much of this support displayed in PR statements and on Twitter seems both: performative, rather than substantial, and coerced, rather than genuine. By coerced I mean that there's peer pressure and social punishments to organizations that don't agree to don the "colors" of the cause of the day, which lets me think that they're doing it not because they believe, but because they've been intimidated into taking this path. Within that context, I find GG's framing of it as deliberate deception as compelling, since it seems likely that, for large corporations, some sort of "warfare as deception" and profit-seeking tactic would be a greater motivation than simply being "intimidated" by keyboard warriors. I also find it compelling because it gels with something else I've observed, how legitimate causes are often misused by people using them as a disguise to rally people around an ulterior agenda. My go-to example is terrorism and Islam. Legitimate religion is abused by terrorist recruiters and used as a disguise for fabricating baseless pretexts for violence. In simple terms, bad causes steal legitimacy by dressing themselves in the symbolism of legitimate groups. So I appreciated GG expanding this into an actual deliberate behavior on the part of corporations doing the same thing.

So I value your perspective, I just don't know how to think about it right now. Basically I get it to mean, because they don't have power, they have these ideas, and if the bosses aren't outright against it, it's a grassroots thing in an organization. Seems valid. I'm undecided right now as to which I think is more likely. Probably both could be true. There's lots of genuine people, surely, but then also people misusing these causes for their own (often antithetical) ends. Thanks for this perspective!

I don't think you're fragile, and I would never minimize the harassment you experienced. I am sorry any of that happened to you. You're right that it's not systemic racism but, it's still the case that no one deserves that. And I'm also sorry you haven't found sympathy in the anti-racist community. It's pretty easy to be deep in the trenches, snarky, and suspicious, and it seems like you're running into all of that.

A lot of the US crypto exchanges have high fees. They can get away with it due to US laws preventing US citizens from legally trading on asian exchanges, which have much more competitive fees (i.e. Binance.com, not Binance.US). Gemini has even more ridiculous fees than Coinbase. Also if you use Coinbase Pro, which is more like a stock brokerage account for crypto, you get a lot better fees than Coinbase.com. Gemini also has an equivalent to Coinbase Pro, except they call it ActiveTrader. Kraken, another reputable US crypto exchange, has decent fees in general. US securities laws are preventing US citizens from getting the best deal and US crypto exchanges are getting away with higher fees based on that.

How the recommender systems behind Spotify work
The biggest problem is people submitting code, it being rejected, a working solution using similar principles being accepted, and then accusations of plagiarism. With the same people always submitting the accepted code.

The fact is that their work gets accepted because they followed coding standards and understand how to not undermine the project design. But people who have not internalized coding standards or the overall project design will not see that and get upset that they don't get paid for at least showing how to solve the problem. (Nevermind that the part of their solutions that they point to would have been obvious to anyone.)

Geofencing vs. continuous location tracking is an implementation decision about power efficiency only. For data privacy and permissions, these are not distinguished.

A user cannot elect to grant "geofencing only" permission. And even if they could, users have no way to audit the geofence coordinates to verify that they are being used in the described manner.

Even if implemented exactly as described, it's not hard to see why this can still leak non-work-related personal data. If an employee walks past their workplace at 2 AM, that's not information that an employer should have.

Quite a lot of ebike accidents involve only one party. The relatively high speeds mixed with ice, wet leaves, going up and down the sidewalk, turning way too fast, etc. make ebikes quite dangerous.

> For those unfamiliar, Japan has had a so-called "Great Stagnation" since the 90s. Population has declined, GDP growth is slow and puttering, and some are saying that Japan has lost the edge it had in the 80s.

This is more or less the story of Europe, however in the case of Japan, the central Bank (BOJ) actively conspired to kill (aka reform) the Japanese economy by creating a boom-bust cycle out of bank lending quota manipulation.

It all sounds "conspiratorial" but is well documented in "Princes of the Yen" (anything questioning illegitimate power today, is automatically a "conspiracy"...). It's really quite sad to see the country which set the model for Asia being destroyed like this.

I wrote a "ring knocking" tool back in my college days so that I could connect to my Linux box at home from the labs at school since I was on dial-up. I'd go to the payphone, put in a quarter, call my line and let it ring the requisite number of times, hang up, get my quarter back, then go to the lab and check my school email account. The ringconnectd daemon would detect the rings, wait a few seconds, connect to my ISP, and mail me its current IP address.

Interesting article.

From my perspective HN voting, for the most part, works very well. I've been on online discussion groups since the days of USENET. HN is great.

What really bothers me is zero information down-votes and the "downvote army" as someone called it in this thread. Nobody learns anything from this at all. What's the value when a downvote carries no consequences whatsoever for the voter while delivering a penalty to the author?

One idea I had a while ago is that a downvote should cost the person money in the form of karma. Want to down vote? It'll cost you ten points. No problem.

The point of this idea is that a down-vote out of spite or just to pile on someone or an idea is a bad thing. People who behave that way with some consistency would have to give up more and more for each downvote.

Paying for a downvote with karma could be an interesting evolutionary solution for downvote abuse, particularly if the cost increases based on a range of criteria. You downvote a comment on a thread and it cost you 10 karma, you continue to downvote the same author on the same thread and it cost you more each time. If people are piling one, the cost goes up. Etc.
The conservatives have Fox News / Newsmax / OAN scaremongering, and profiting out of it, and the liberals have CNN, MSNBC, Teen Vogue and more, inducing moral panic about everything, race baiting and profiting out of it.

They are two sides of the same coin. There is no single entity creating this atmosphere, just a bunch of outlets amplifying the most radical voices, as normal news and balanced debate is boring and not that profitable.

> Can you inspect inputs from terraform resource attributes or data sources in the procedural evaluation?

No... the high level programming language really just serves as a bridge or translation layer to a Terraform compatible JSON file. Those sorts of evaluations don’t happen to the actually plan/apply.
