Honest question: Is it Nomad?

Because I've literally spent a couple hours watching Hashicorp videos on Nomad, and I know how to install and secure it, but I still have no idea what TF Nomad is/does. Maybe a distributed cron, that apparently has the ability to spin up a million containers?

Edit because of downvote: No, really, I'm serious. Any references to how Nomad solves the Swarm/K8s problem, because I've spent my spare time this week trying to understand it and still don't know what Nomad even is.
It probably helped that the steering wheel in Y isn't a rectangle.

I'm really curious to see S and X sales (and cancellations!) numbers once 2021 models will start to ship en masse. Both come with the yoke and there's no other option.

A bit of an old-fashioned point and click style of gameplay, with both the good and the bad comes with it. Humor is there, has a German flavor to it though so I'm not sure how well it survives translation.

So nothing earth-shattering but I enjoyed myself.
Were you alive during the time after 9/11? Have you even listened to conservatives talking about "Big Tech" recently (or "election fraud" and the measures they want taken to combat it)?

Mass surveillance was and the erosion of civil liberties were literally the biggest parts of post-9/11 legislation to the point where drone striking a US citizen became socially acceptable among conservatives. Conservatives also called for the deaths of Snowden and Assange for "treason".

You can at least admit this isn't a partisan issue even if US politicians love to frame it as one.
right. my view is post-internet, since i grew up in a time when the internet already existed and already had long-evolved and widely-understood cultural patterns around its use and misuse as a very slight alteration of a substrate in which to carry out ordinary public speech (every kid and grownup I knew when I was 10 understood the root guidance of "don't believe anything you read on the internet", for instance).

to my generation, this is much more poorly framed by arguing whether Facebook is comparable to a pre-internet private establishment, than it is framed by the internet being simply the air that we breathe, an ether in which sound naturally vibrates and which trying to legislate the dynamics of should seem equally ridiculous.
Apart from their obligations under the law, AOL did not police content. In one example, AOL banned explicit discussions of homosexual activity but did not ban anti-homosexual hate speech. They policed the first type of speech because the CDA required them to prevent the transmission of explicit material to minors, but they did not police the second type of speech because it was not illegal.

Facebook and Twitter are actively policing speech that is not illegal.

That is why your analogy is inapt.

Why do you think that stems from anonymity? People are happy to promote pyramid schemes on Facebook under their real name; why do you think any other product endorsement is different?
It's the same thing really though. If you don't charge someone a load of tax they would have otherwise paid, it's really a subsidy in a different name.

People would still have to buy cars. They would have paid the registration levy and VAT, now they don't need to. The end result for the treasury is the same whether they didn't get it in at all in the first place (tax relief) or paid it out instead (subisidy).
It's just a Norvegian thing. We have a similar app here in Belgium. I guess these banks just want a pan-European standard of p2p payment supplant national systems.
Ask HN: Best Tip for Teaching Online?
I try to make training content at work, and I also make educational content related to coding for kids. There is so much to cover in this space from video, to audio, to story, to how ideas are presented.

I am curious, if you teach something online, what is best tip you have?
"Likewise, I don't get the recent trend of self-censoring words like suicide, police or kill. I think it's mainly a thing on tiktok? But it's leaking out from there as well."

I presume this is to that their postings won't be censored/shadow banned/deleted/muted/whatever. Kind of reminds you of China, doesn't it?

It's more painful and fear-inducing to lose something you have, so the more you have the stronger the allure of laws that are sold as reducing your risk of loss.
Maybe the question everyone should be asking is: why is there such an insatiable desire among a large part of America for white supremacist and anti-Semitic conspiracy theories?

“The horrible truth is that if autonomous driving can save 1+ life, it's better than what we have now”

This is not true at all and we have much higher standards than this. This is like saying if a vaccine cures Covid but manages to kill people at a rate slightly less than Covid, we should embrace it.

Airplane autopilots, depending on generation, are full touch. The pilot programs the waypoints. The pilot is alerted and agrees to every course correction and change.

Ask HN: Is there an easy example of a Lisp pretty-printer?
I'm working on a pretty printer for my own (toy) Lisp and it's harder than I thought. I've been looking for easy to understand example code, a pretty printer in Scheme or Lisp that I could adapt and extend but so far have only found academic overview papers from the 80s. It doesn't help that most of the stuff is for CommonLisp and uses format. I don't have any special string formatting directives and my Lisp is rather different from CL, more akin to XLisp.

Do any gray-bearded Lisp programmers remember some old Lisp or Scheme example code that I could study?

What some people don’t seem to understand about the first amendment is that while the government is obligated to not stop you from publishing, no private party is obligated to assist you.
People are acutely aware of the relative anonymity and long-reach that being on the Internet gives them. This felt power enables them to act like total jerks to strangers online in ways they would not do in person. IRL, for such behavior they would garner opprobrium---or a punch in the teeth. There is some sense in adding some friction to online interactions. The details of the mechanism are important, but it's not a terrible or absurd proposition on its face.
Hey! I'm the writer of the article. I'm not a fantastic writer but am trying to improve and felt I needed to start somewhere, so I started with something I'm passionate about.
Truth be told I do not know as much about Python as I do about Ruby, I think I was probably responding to its comparative popularity and not in fact if it is discussed about or not, so that's on me.

I'd like to know more about what you would have liked to see in an article like this, it is a bit of a fluff piece; the goal wasn't to provide a super technical explanation. The goal was to get people talking about Ruby 3 and I am happy to see so much discourse here! But yeah, I was asked by the maintainer of the blog to try to provide "layman's explanations" when I could, which I think may have kneecapped me a bit in retrospect - but obviously layman's explanations usually are best when they are succinct and accurate.
Is there anything else, particularly in the layman's examples for parallelism and concurrency, that felt inaccurate or misleading? I want to make sure I am communicating the concepts and implications correctly.

From my perspective, the goal of the article is provide an explanation of concurrency/parallelism, so that when I begin to describe the features in Ruby 3.0 we have appropriate context to understand why fibers/ractors matter, so if I didn't do that I really bungled it!
I don't know of a perfect formal definition, but this kind of gives a rule of thumb: is the content considered their own voice? For example, The New York Times is a publisher, because if an article on their website says X, then saying "The New York Times says X" would be reasonable, but Facebook is a platform, because saying "Facebook says X" just because a post on their website says X would not be reasonable.
If the tests are catching bugs, obviously they need them.

And if those bugs would be prohibited by static typing, then it sounds like Ruby is creating work.

> if we are passing a string instead of an array of strings somewhere, the test will fail

Is this an example of a real bug? It's mind boggling that anyone would use a language that allows them to type that bug into existence without an immediate error.

I know we used to be forced to use JS, but not we even have TS so that we don't have to catch extremely machine-catchable errors in tests or, worse, production.

I find they are if the discussion is within 140 characters or less.

When the conversation turns long form with details of what's going on and the implications folks tend to get a bit shocked and don't like it.

Long form discussions sharing details are something we need more of. Short form opinions aren't helping us. Many people are just unaware.

I’m surprised that it’s legal for a bank to refuse a cash deposit.
the internet is not a newspaper.

you can't simply switch off of Facebook the way you would drop a publication you dislike. the network effects keep everyone trapped in. i can't believe we're still having this asinine back-and-forth a full decade after we learned how natural monopolies form via the ordinary dynamics of social graph consolidation.

I left Australia less than a decade ago, but some of the recent changes in politics and culture are so alien to me, it feels like I could have left a century ago.

The state policing what people who receive government aid are spending their money on, for example -- I can't imagine anyone being for this 10 years ago.

I've noticed that it's more acceptable to be xenophobic amongst certain groups too.

Many things have been reduce to "us vs. them". Us vs. the "scroungers", us vs. the immigrants, us vs. the "lefties", us vs. the "climate lunatics"

I struggle to recognise the country I left.
Oh absolutely. Here's an hypothesis: turbo-consumerist videos targeted at children are far more harmful that much of the "age restricted" content of nudity and profanity.

I just mean we should be careful and work in an evidence-based way rather than a moral panic-based way or a "I turned out fine"-based way (this latter, a common defense worldwide of child beating for instance)
Obviously the incentives and taste in vehicles differs between Norway and the U.S.

What's clear is that Ford and likely Tesla would do very well to produce capable EV pick-up trucks in high quantities. So far, Ford's plans for production are quite low - less than 20,000 planned for 2022.
I think there’s a huge complacency. For the most part you really need to look hard to know this is at all going on - most of these laws over the last few years have been rushed through in record time to avoid scrutiny, and the media is increasingly captured by the Liberal National Party - it used to just be the News Corp, Sky News side, but over the last couple of years they’ve completely cowed the ABC into compliance by forcing out many of the better journalists, and Fairfax has diminished greatly since being bought by Nine (Peter Costello is the chairman and they literally run LNP fundraising events at Nine studios…).
A question came to mind: where do the photons go if it gets past the end of the observable universe?
Coupled with rising inequality and pressure on the working class.

The distance between rich and poor is now so big, both in economic and cultural terms, that anyone with even a modicum of wealth is obsessed with "not becoming one of Them", and will accept any rule as long as "it keeps Them in their place".
The photographic technique matters for image quality. You may have been looking at autochrome prints which used potato starch grains and typically had a long exposure time and a bit of a pointillist effect. For reference here is a collection of 110 year old autochromes of Paris:

“Pretty much the same” is “has stars and planets like we do, ignoring the solar system which might be weird”.

The “fairly good reasons” are that that assumption has allowed us to develop a very good understanding of physics – good even by standards that don't make that assumption. If an assumption is a good one, it's probably a true one… at least, the others have been, and I assume we can generalise from them.

Yes, strictly speaking, an archive or a research library is more likely to be long-term storage than a public library (of course, the division is not clear-cut--and some public libraries have substantial archival research holdings). It's pretty routine for libraries to get rid of materials that aren't being used by anybody anymore. But it does take control over the process, the choice of what to keep and what to give up, away from the libraries to some extent.

You should read what happened to small towns in the 80s. And maybe read what I actually wrote.
The vaccine has an extremely low risk of side effects short term. There is no scientific reason to think there will be long term effects. What exactly are you concerned about? In terms of "we know too little about the vaccine", we know even less about "covid" itself.

The vaccine reduces the likelihood you will get severe covid and require hospitalization. It's like a 22x reduction in risk.

The vaccine reduces your infectious period if you do catch covid, this reduces R0 (R-naught) will help shorten the pandemic.

The delta variant is hospitalizing healthy and young people with no preexisting conditions. Future variants are likely to do so as well.
There is plenty of terribleness in the Chinese government, but this particular program sounds wonderful.

In term of paid offer for server hosting, I struggle a bit to see who's the target. I would expect that tech enthusiasts who really care about Internet's freedom as a whole to already have some level of self-hosting and knowledge to setup their own server (that's what I'm doing)

Non tech users will not really expect to have to pay for a server, I think that most of them would only think of Instant messaging as the client app (a bit like for email).

Maybe I'm saying crap because my knowledge of XMPP is very limited, but I would think that for XMPP to take on in the instant messaging space, it means that the protocol itself has to be focused on that. From there some form of versioning of the protocol that could mean that for a server or a client to be considered compatible with a version of the protocol, it needs to support a set of versioned XEP.

I think that would make things easier for a people who are writing XMPP app to focus on a common set of goals.

You're right but I think it's a little bit more complex than that. Switzerland is equally wealthy (or even more, if you look at disposable income) and here you can definitely buy a $3000 Subaru Outback and drive around in the Alps every weekend, yet car ownership is similar to Norway's, because it's a hassle when the train and public transportation network is good and convenient.

Maybe without all these taxes, car ownership in Norway would be a bit higher (like in Finland) but I don't think it would reach the US number. Lots of the Norwegian population is concentrated in urbanized areas, and some have gone car-free.

Even though there are few incentives in Switzerland, we see plenty of Teslas, because of course for some people $60k in a car is nothing. But that's definitely above average, and not everyone is able or willing to spend that much.
Airplane autopilots don't disengage. They do what you told them to do. They are simple and predictable systems that at most simply follow a predetermined course exactly.

You raise an interesting point about Fed policies (QE) and housing prices. The UK/EU/Japan all use extensive QE. The wealthiest (per capita) economies of EU (France, Germany, Italy, Belgium, Netherlands, Nordics) are not experiencing huge increases in housing prices. Actually, France, Germany and Italy are not very good places to buy houses from an investment viewpoint. Except for center of most economically important cities, most housing in those countries grows at inflation or less. And Japan certainly does not have run away housing prices. Again, they increase only slightly more than inflation.

My point: I think housing prices in Australia, New Zealand, Canada, US, and UK are "out of control" because we read a lot of English-language media about the richest places in those countries where housing supply is highly constrained. As a result, it seems like housing prices are run-away. But no one is saying that about Perth, Australia, or Leeds, UK, or Minneapolis, Minnesota, US, or Ontario, Canada. Do you see my point?

Another thing to consider, most regions of France and Germany carefully plan how much housing supply is needed, then build it -- public or private. This seems to work very well to keep housing prices very stable and affordable for middle class and below.

And Japan has national and universally applied land usage and building codes. It is almost impossible to practice "NIMBY-ism" in Japan. So plenty of houses get built, even in very crowded places like Tokyo, Nagoya, and Osaka.
Well it sure is convenient for the EU to favor pro-privacy stances that are conducive to fining American tech companies.
