> No-one could possibly ever need more than 1TB of RAM.

Need is a tricky word, but it's easy to use 1 TB of RAM, and it'd be easy to use even more. In memory databases are great; it's been a while, but I've run some of those and in some cases, we'd have to partition because we ran out of ram and the boxes topped out at 1.5TB (newer platforms do more, but also there was a platform migration due to acquisition to small machines, so we had to change our strategy). On a desktop system, if you don't have anything better to do, you could always disk cache the whole disk; I suspect a filesystem designed to be fully loaded into ram could make different tradeoffs and get different results than just caching all of a traditional FS.
Honestly, this seems like a plus for humanity. I don't think Twitter has really improved the world in any significant way, and maybe made it worse. Anything that prevents the twitter universe from seeping into mine is a good change.
I think we're talking about different things.

I am talking about the groupset (the shifters, brake levers, brake calipers, derailleurs, crankset, bottom bracket, chain and cassette).

There are indeed some wear items (chain; cassette, especially if the chain isn't replaced when worn; brake pads; brake rotors) but, apart from those, a looked-after quality groupset can last decades.
Unless you generate code with very large pattern matches it's an absolute non issue in practice :-)

Of course, there was intense fighting during June and July. At that point, the Afghan military was deprived of U.S. support. The U.S. abandoned key positions and reduced support, signaling whoever remained behind would have to come to terms with dealing with the Taliban on their own.

Given the fact that resisting the Taliban puts entire extended families at risk for reprisals even if one wins a battle or two, the cost-benefit calculus was clear for a lot of people. And, once that process of unwinding begins, it accelerates.

The public in the U.S. were not kept informed of what had been happening in Afghanistan until the disaster unfolded in full.

Then, the administration said no one had could have foreseen this possibility and tried to create the impression that Afghans had given up. A show of "we've got your back" could've gone a long way, but, instead, the administration demonstrated with actions "we are with the Taliban, you're on your own."
I share funny tweets to people all the times in chats, to people that don't have Twitter accounts. Those people will never sign up for Twitter, now they will simply stop being visitors/consumers. I don't see how this is good?

Does anyone know if there are any examples of people whistling English? I'd find it fascinating to see if I could understand anything intuitively.
As with all online communities HN is suffering from it's increased popularity. If you remember how Reddit was a good 10 years back, on every thread there would be 1-2 actual experts posting substantiated and well-sourced commentary on news relevant to their field. Usually undergraduates and young professionals passionate about their field.
At some point this was discovered by journalists and for a brief period of time major news organizations would rely on reddit users for sources. Many if not most discussions would be done in good faith or at least with solid arguments. The userbase was usually 18+. As it got more popular it got worse, mainly because of the "eternal september", altering userbase due to smartphone proliferation and changes in ranking algorithms and business model.

HN is not the same as reddit and isn't doomed to the same faults, but as as a forum gets more popular, experts reduce in percentage, they're more reluctant and careful on what and how they comment, the "populism" of the voting system becomes harmful and all the attention creates financial incentives for bad actors.

As for using it as some kind of blackbox betting algorithm for startups and trends, that's just a bad idea. I'm certain that you will get the same graph structure for all things that never became popular.

Obviously any forum focused on leading edge technologies will discuss advancements long before they become a subject of interest in the general populace. But they'll also discuss everything that will fail or never reach the mainstream sphere.

It's notable that in this article the individual they followed wasn't addicted to anything at the start. He fell behind on paying fines and lost his privilege of probation. The state he is living it using hard labor as a diversion from actually going to prison for potentially longer duration than their term of slavery in a chicken plant.

It's not the all consuming nature of the labor that is the issue. The issue is that they actually aren't doing anything whatsoever to help anyone. It's a program to exploit the governments offer of free labor in an environment that first exploits workers and then often destroys them. The individual involved who started with no addiction at all left with a pain pill addition due to permanent spinal damage in unsafe conditions.

It's a good article and worth reading.

I learned Go, switched to almost all backend work and infrastructure. Now I spend most of my time building infrastructure and tooling, and I couldn't be happier.

Point taken about Typhoid Mary. I should have said never before have we had so much information about asymptomatic disease transmission to see / worry about.

As for the testing ... I still do think Covid is extremely unique here. The US has given over 500M tests (~1.5/person) and the UK has given over 250M tests (~4/person) in less than two years. Many employers and schools are scaling up plans to do one or more tests per week per person. Sure maybe we haven't caught up to the total TB tests given across all time yet, but the rate of testing for this disease is far greater than anything that preceded it and looks like it will stay that way.
I think the thought there is just that STEM nerds tend to have stable high-paid jobs and thus good credit, and so OSes/browsers that nobody but nerds use / would tolerate using, are signals of having good credit.

The words "tough on crime" have a particular connotation, one which involves criminalizing minor offences then coming down with excessive punitive measures that are intended to deter crime. The end result is seen as being ineffective (punitive measures do not address the root causes of crime and will not alter the behaviour of some people) and is even seen as contributing to the problem (e.g. prisons may worsen, rather than reform, criminal behaviour; having a criminal record reduces opportunities that may steer people away from a life of crime).

If those words meant something different, such as people will be caught and expected to redress their crimes or prisons will attempt to reform behaviour and provide the tools to steer away from a life of crime after release, then being tough on crime would have fewer detractors.

And in many respects those detractors are right. The resources being invested into the current tough on crime measures would be better invested into addressing the causes of crime. It won't solve all of the problems since there are some genuinely nasty people out there, but there is a good chance that it would do a much better job.
Don't forget that you have to repeatedly do it so much you feel like you're going to faint from lack of oxygen! Remember that when learning to whistle as a youngin :)

I've had this on my mind for a bit, but carbon capture seems to be oversold from my understanding. The way I see it, additional trees would reduce atmospheric carbon at that moment in time, but as they burn or decay it releases CO2 back to the atmosphere and the problem continues. If the issue is that we've pumped so many tons of carbon out of the Earth, the solution is to pump so many tons of carbon back in. Remove it from the cycle so that the net amount of surface carbon is reduced.

Personally, my solution is to start chucking trees down a mineshaft and backfill the shaft when it's full. It's crude but it gets the idea across.

Edit: happened to be listening to a podcast writing this and right as I finish they start talking about olivine, which is a mineral that can absorb it's weight in CO2 and prices around $7 USD/ton. Maybe a better option for carbon removal

I don't think it's fair to call them terrorists because they "use terror tactics to murder opponents".

The US and Israel do that too. Every army in the world does that.

Nuclear bombing of Hiroshima was, by all definitions, using terror tactics to murder opponents. By your logic, one who has used terror tactics is a terrorist, then the US Army is a terrorist
The "best" is the that the team you hire is most familiar with and recommends. Seriously, any framework can do any of this, and your constraints aren't really constraints, it's a wish list that essentially anyone building an app has.

So, the good news is you can ignore the framework. Instead, focus on finding a company that:

* does what they'll say they do during your initial conversations and scoping. If they say they'll email X by Y (like a bid or a followup) and it's late or doesn't happen, move on. The pre-sales period is as good as their service will get.

* works iteratively. Look for a company that has lots of small releases (on the order of a week to a month), not a giant scope and big release/deliverable.

* ideally, has done some work with the general type of users/customers you're selling to or are using the app. I don't mean technically, I mean in terms of use cases. For example, a development consultancy that's only designed dashboards for business apps is probably not an ideal choice for a consumer-facing app. They may well be able to do it, but will be less likely to point out flaws in your thinking. Another way to put this is: ask for the URL to something similar they've created (and go try it!).

If they do those things, whatever they recommend will be better than anything you come up with. And if they don't, it doesn't matter anyway :)

Finally, if you haven't already, put together wireframes of as many screens as you can think of - even if it's with pen and paper - and show up with those. They can be terribly ugly, as long as they show what information and choices you envision on each screen and let you talk through why. That will eliminate a ton of uncertainty and effort. Google for pen paper wireframes if you aren't familiar with this.
I'm not sure I'll blame Twitter for (effectively) requiring phone numbers - they are stuck between a rock and a hard place.

On one side, people rightfully complain about trolls, harassers, spam, CSAM, misinformation campaigns and propaganda on online services. And on the other side, people will also rightfully complain about data harvesting, and an ever growing lack of anonymity on the Internet.

At the moment, phone numbers are the closest thing we have to at least have some cost associated with spamming and a legal pointer to get hold of criminal-level abusers. Using government IDs such as the German Personalausweis (which can communicate with a website using NFC and a special app) would outright kill anonymity, using middle men to do the same (or video/postal identification) like for banks, porn and gambling sites costs money and is not much better in terms of anonymity.

That's not an accurate assessment of what's going on. The post linked states "no contact with the maintainers" not just inactivity, and if you follow the github issues linked, it's about people wondering what's going on and if anyone else can approve pull requests because there's lots of pull requests waiting. There's 843 pull requests at this time, and I just looked and over 50 are from just the last month.

It's not that there's repo inactivity, it seems to be that this is an extremely active repo which saw everything grind to a halt when the admins went dark. That's quite a bit different then just "inactivity".
This sounds like something that'll work for me, thanks!

There are lots of clones, but they typically become havens for the ones who get the boot from reddit (remember the chimpire?), who proceed to drive away the users who don't agree, or they are either trying to lure reddit's current demographic (i.e. not very technical) or are super niche and could easily be served by a traditional forum.

The worst part of reddit killing so many forums is that there used to be plenty of places to go to discuss fairly niche interests. Now that they're gone, many communities have no fallback if their userbase is mostly old reddit users aside from trying to migrate, and that will inevitably result in many just leaving the community entirely.

I guess it depends on if sub-2-month feature development is needed to keep up with YouTube's changes or not.

I maintain a GCC code coverage tool on GitHub, and since GCC doesn't change very often and the feature set of the tool is fairly complete, I sometimes go 6+ months without commits. Usually I don't touch it unless someone opens an issue.
