If you include `[skip ci]` anywhere in the commit message, that commit won't trigger any github actions. This is a built-in behavior; you don't have to manually check for that string in any downstream actions. I spent a long time trying to work around the same constraint before my colleague pointed out that `[skip ci]` was a thing.

The City as an Ecosystem
See, that's my current level of expertise in the field!
I'm the same.

Plus, my living in Canada means getting all the different components piecemeal, often from different suppliers/sellers is a giant PITA. This is further complicated by my self-imposed restriction to not buy from Amazon. And this is before the headache of shipping costs (often $15 as the lowest option, even for small parts)

I'd love a ~$200-300CAD pre-assembled or kit option where I can own the data, access it in a standard fashion, and optionally choose to crowd-source it.

I agree with all of that. Streaming is about choice, but linear TV is about an event and/or serendipity.

I have a lot of movies on Plex, but when we browse them it's rare for us to select one. On the other hand, we often watch those movies when they're on TV. "We have that on Plex" has become a household joke.

You don't think those attacks on rationality and free enquiry are political?

(I don't mean in the "everything is political" sense. If everything is political, then nothing is. But I also don't mean just in the "Red v Blue" sense, either. I mean political in the sense of "our tribe's standing and prominence compared to your tribe". "Academic politics" is used in this sense.)
I wish all programmers with a healthy bank account and vested stock quit their FAANG jobs and did research or worked on personal projects.

I think "deep" building requires specific resources that having been a programmer may or may not give you.

The purpose of PhD programs, in particular, is to prepare a person to do original research in an existing field. While these may have some unnecessary hazing, a significant part of their difficulty is that leaping to one's own original research or building is hard. One has to navigate avoid both excessively small steps and vacuous (or unprovable) big ideas.

Someone without a PhD needs to apply some similar level of discipline imo if they're going accomplish an important thing. For a few people, that might be an easier rout but for most, I suspect it's even more difficult - at least if you honestly avoid both the trivial and vacuously ill-defined.

PS: I am indeed doing the "quit job and follow what you love" thing so I think a view of how challenging that can be.

It's not entirely unreasonable to regulate on the basis of psychic impact over straight up mortality.

Not saying our focus on mass shootings over suicide necessarily makes sense, but the collective trauma of 20 kids dying in a school shooting is arguably higher than the equivalent number of deaths by suicides.
Nope. Focal length is how far the light has to travel, diameter is the aperture, or how big the opening is to collect light.

The XT8 telescope I references has an 8 inch aperture, and a 1200mm focal length
Building p2p networks with their own light clients is incredibly difficult.

We built OpenBazaar (decentralized marketplace using cryptocurrency) as a p2p network on top on IPFS with it's own client. It eventually failed and everyone asked for a web version and a mobile app (which we built but wasn't truly decentralized thus negating the entire point).

I agree that the current web3 approach is often more decentralized in name than in practice, but it seems to be a tradeoff most people are happy with.
You know how much new RVs cost right? 200-400k is not unusual for a 'big' RV.

Also, with a bigger battery comes higher limits on how fast you can charge. If you have a 300kWh battery you should be able to charge it at 300kW all day long.

That said, it doesn't really exist since there is no market for it at the moment. RV sales aren't exactly high, so the niche for EV RVs is even smaller. Plus there's no real infrastructure out for it now.

I suspect once EV Semis become more mainstream we'll see that trickle down to RV users. They can charge at the same place a semi would charge at.
This is what Japan's NHK does, and I watch it a lot on Roku. Documentaries, cooking shows, talk shows focusing on Japanese culture, etc. They're basically cultivating and training tourists, which is great! I want to know about famous places that I can visit, new food I can try, and enough Japanese to at least get directions or buy things from people who can't speak English. And, while the production values aren't Hollywood-level, I expect they're better than what prefectural tourist offices would make.

If I were planning a trip to Great Britain, I'd happily watch a similar channel.

Microsoft teams is two things:

1. An online service with a private API endpoint.

2. A client program that communicates over that API endpoint.

So this is more like having a car (client program) that the company owns parked in your driveway (your OS), and you can't drive on the company's private roads (the service API) without using that specific car, oh and the company is allowed to repave your driveway whenever they like.

I would much rather have my own car and my own driveway, thank-you-very-much.

I'd heavily encourage you to read the docs. If the scenarios you outlined are your top concern for your homelab, I suspect the complexity and resource overhead of k8s isn't warranted.

- Cert Renewal / Rotation: https://docs.docker.com/engine/reference/commandline/swarm_c...

- TLS Termination: Arguably this is an application layer concern and out of scope for an orchestration layer, but in either case use Nginx (or your favorite TLS terminating proxy) as your ingress point. This is equivalent to the Nginx ingress controller in k8s.

- Storage: Docker volumes (local or ceph, for distributed).

- Disaster Recovery: Node failure? Cluster failure? Data loss? What kind of DR? The strategies you'd use with Swarm will be very similar to those you'd use with k8s.

- Grouping resources: Labels and/or services.

In a Swarm world you'll have fewer moving pieces, far lower resource requirements, and will manage it all in a docker-compose file(s). You'll also get things like service discovery, routing, and secrets management for "free". No additional configuration needed.

There was a point a few decades ago where we took the expert individual out of decisionmaking and favored whatever we have today. A director like spielberg today would never have had the independence he enjoyed early in his career. It just wouldn't be possible anymore because of the mechanisms we have constructed in order to ensure we select the most generally engaging product out of the pile. Engaging rarely means good, an example is netflix's new cash cow "The Kissing Game" which started as a terrible terrible movie covering every cliche you can expect out of some highschool romance movie. Panned critically of course, but what do you know, people like junk food and junk TV and this turd becomes one of netflix's most successful original movies, which they've turned into a trilogy. This is the Lord of the Rings of 2021.

Trade unions beat inflation by helping negotiate higher wages.
That may not be the selling point you think it is, since most people are not creators looking to monetize their content. Your statement then sounds like: "Envision web3: your opportunity to pay to visit any website!"
I think this is one of those areas where aggregate statistics do not line up with the personal experiences of a majority of the population to such a degree that they are tossed out as unreliable. See also: the stunning ineffectiveness of saying "but the unemployment rate is only 3%".

For that matter, is there any more objective data about the quality of search results over time or are anecdotes all we currently have?
It does works in a pinch, just use about 3-5% as much as normal and skip the drying phase to rerun.

A related issue is people just use way to much detergents in general, presumably because commercials show people using excessive quantities. Plop Plop Fiz Fiz for example just about doubled Alka-Seltzer’s sales.

No, I am not saying to start shooting at the cops if they ask for this. I am saying to refuse, go to jail if they require it, then meet them in court, accusing them of wrongful arrest and violation of the 4th Amendment.

Pods are a scam. They measure out ordinary crappy dishwashing detergent and package it up in a 'pod' then mark the price up 10x. In the US soap seems to exist in a grey area where manufacturers can make unsubstantiated claims about performance based on 'testing' that they supposedly do internally. The new Dawn dishwashing liquids make claims about having exponentially more cleaning power and yet cleaning anything requires exactly the same amount of soap as it did with the old Dawn.

The current vaccines only provide systemic immunity but fail to provide mucosal immunity. Until they come up with a nasal vaccine plus the shots we will not stop COVID-19 as vaccinated people can still act as vectors of transmission.
I was automatically given a Network Solutions domain after winning a SnapNames auction. As this article correctly states, they require you to call a number to retrieve an auth code faster than the 3-day waiting period. In my case, the domain was within the Auto-Renew Grace Period, so I called the rep to speed it up.

First, Network Solutions tried to require me to pay a "domain redemption fee," falsely blaming the fee on ICANN. After I told the rep ICANN charged no such fee, they waived it.

Next, the rep refused to give me an auth code unless I signed up for an additional year of service. When I pointed out the exact ICANN regulation forbidding them to require this, the rep still refused to give me the auth code on the spot. (However, ICANN requires them to provide the auth code within a certain number of days, and I eventually received it.)

I submitted a complaint to ICANN, but they replied that action would only be taken if Network Solutions flat-out refused to provide an auth code.

Realistically though, 1.5MM brings in much more than $60k a year most of the time (an aggressive portfolio could return that much in a month, on occasion). So one could buy a place in a cool area with a cheap 30 year loan immediately before quitting. Live there for as long as you want, then sell it if you get the urge for a cheaper, less exciting lifestyle.

Even if one overspends a little extra in those initial years paying a mortgage on a nicer place, much of that will be recouped upon sale, since places in cool areas tend to appreciate quit quickly and mortgages are highly leveraged.
Apple (& BigTech) make money from lax privacy laws. When governments are not abusing the same weak privacy laws while using such spywares, they are generally working to protect national interests. (Usually when a government spies on you, for whatever reason, they follow due process of the law).

There's a lot of difference in being spied on by a corporate vs government. When abusive, it's a different kind of exploitation. But the solution to both is the same - strong privacy laws.
Why isn't everything the BBC has ever made available on a streaming service for license free payers?

You are talking about the simplicity of a line of code. The topic being discussed, though, was the simplicity of the language itself.

Being quiet and slowly building mastery and expertise doesn’t pay off much at first. So many creatives must make a calculation: Do I want the short term, could-go-viral-at-any-second thrill of being a vocal expert in my field? Or am I more content playing the long game?

I’ve been playing the long game for longer than “social media” has been a word. It helps to have a lot of financial resources that I can burn while I continue to labor in obscurity.

I have no desire to position myself as An Expert, nor to do the shit involved in chasing social media success (I like big slow projects made to satisfy myself, not quick stuff you can crank out daily and repeatedly pivot towards whatever gets the most traction), but I sure can see how that’s super tempting. If I didn’t have the financial cushions I do I’d have swallowed my pride and taken that bullshit path long ago just to try and survive.
> This being written in Rust tells me it's probably going to be fast/lightweight. Go would be a similar expectation. If it's written in Rails I'd have different expectations. Python or Node might fall somewhere in the middle.

Which is exactly why the language doesn't matter. It being written in rust doesn't tell you anything, and serves only to evoke some predisposition you have for rust. There's nothing in rust that stops users from writing horrible algorithms. This reddit front end could send separate requests for every letter it loads for all you know.
"These days, it takes a lot of assets to be confident you won't be homeless in old age assuming no major surprises or threats from society and the environment changing."

Uh, that is quite a pessimistic take from someone debating on HN, which is a forum of IT-related professionals. Maybe your level of required confidence is too high.

Vast majority of old people in the developed world do not end up homeless and IT professionals are even better off than an average Western employee. So "assuming no major surprises or threats..." and assuming you are not at risk of becoming alcoholic or drug dependent, you do not really need to fear homelessness.

That definition doesn't make sense. If someone doesn't like steak, it doesn't make them anti-meat, and if someone doesn't like mint flavor ice cream, it doesn't make them anti-ice cream. That's the entire problem with the word -- its old definition meant anti-all-birth-vaccines (which made more sense). This new definition conflates people who are anti-all-vaccines with people are anti-just-COVID-vaccines.

I would advise against this.

If a bank won't let you wire money there, I don't think regulators will look kindly on you using crypto to bypass that. So good luck raising money or selling the company with what looks like illegal activity in your accounting books. And that's if the contractor you're hiring is "clean". If he's found to have ties to an organization on a watch list, you're looking at federal charges.

Now, to be completely honest, I have reasons to be skeptical of a lot of asylum claims from Afghanistan, seeing how the ANA just flat out abandoned their bases and surrendered without a fight in mere weeks. I'm wondering if a lot of these able bodies young "refugees" men had dual allegiances the whole time, seeing how they welcomed the Taliban with open arms as soon as the (US taxpayer funded) checks stopped coming in.

It sounds like these asylum claims would be a perfect opportunity to hustle western passports. Wouldn't be the first time [0]

> iPlayer was, after all, one of the first streaming services: a genuine bit of innovation from the Beeb.

This is absolutely worth remembering, iPlayer was revelatory 12 or 13 years ago. Infuriatingly the innovation seems to have stopped there.

Case in point, it's a corporation nearly 100 years old, yet its back catalogue is extremely poor. You should be able to watch every episode of Doctor Who on demand since the original black & white pilot, instead you're mainly limited to items shown in the last month, plus some randomly curated stuff. Channel 4 has a better online archive.

When I lived outside of the UK I would have paid a subscription fee equal to the licence fee to gain access to iPlayer. It's worth paying for! But there's no way to give them money for services other than be a licence payer within the UK.
