How do you handle looking for accommodations?

That was the biggest hurdle for me when I was doing the digital nomad thing. When you're settling in for the long term, you can take the time to do multiple visits in order to make an informed decision. When you're settling short term, you don't care that much if the accommodation you booked online isn't good. But when you're doing the temporary-but-mid-term thing, it's complicated because short term rentals are often icky about visits, while making a bad decision has more serious consequences for you: getting stuck for months in a bad accommodation isn't fun, especially if you plan to work out of it.
It was not necessary. I would have (and I did) edit my comment to rectify my error.

I did not claim I was "sure", which is the point of "IIRC". Calling this misinformation is a bit exaggerated.

You can choose to be kind.
I am trying your app.

It tells me "boot is unsucure".

However, this is perfectly fine:

# nvram boot-args
boot-args serverperfmode=1`

Also ssh connections are not a problem (if you have a correct identification method).
No normal users are going to use Linux or MacOS. They are going to use Windows.
I don't think Rust can enforce referential transparency, nor does it have any focus on doing this manually. But I would say referential transparency is one the most important properties in functional programming, if not even the most distinguishing property.

Referential transparency is the one feature that makes reasoning about a program easy. You can think about referential transparent programs purely in the substitution model. You can move referential transparent expressions freely around as you please.

You can't think of a Rust program this way. It's inherently procedural.

Rust gets a lot of things quite right! But it's not a FP language. It's a better C. It's about shoveling bits and bytes around, as safely and efficient as possible.
This is going to sound like a dumb question and is certainly going to be an unrelated tangent, but: why in the world does the Node ecosystem have half a dozen competing terminal colorization libraries? Is that much CLI tooling really being written in JavaScript?

I spend virtually my entire workday in a terminal, and I’ve never once needed a CLI tool written in JS. Where is all this code going?

Maybe in the US with your strange zoning laws. But not in the EU.

Here we take public transport, and in the case of London, there’s a green belt that prevents any further sprawl.

Another point worth mentioning, the EU is significantly denser and more built up than the US. We don’t have huge tracts of empty land around our cities, for the most part, it’s simply not possible to create a new suburb in many parts of Europe due to the lack of empty space.
Yes. It's bulk coffee and cheap, not even close to best coffees you can get vacuum packed.

It's still better than most bulk coffee you get from most other super markets from the rest of the world.
When the average life span was 50 it was because you averaged in a bunch of kids dying at 0 or 1.

A patent lawyer helps you make the case in the correct form, with all the necessary issues addressed. If the AI could work with a patent attorney not already familiar with the technical field of the invention, then I would accept it as the inventor, but if the attorney has to use her own knowledge, or that of third-party experts, to understand what the alleged invention is and whether it is novel, then no. It is all about whether the AI itself understands its supposed invention.
If you haven't confirmed it yourself (it's quite simple, there are various experiments you can do) then yes it is belief. You simply believe that the evidence is persuasive. That is good enough for most things, but for things of great importance, you wanna dig down deeper, do your own research. If you just trust whatever the current scientific authorities say, then yes, this behavior is indistinguishable from religion. Completely indistinguishable.

Aribuka.com caught my attention. The project is well prepared from a technical point of view and has a beautiful and user-friendly design.
Doing exactly this, but with VRBO, which has better pricing than Airbnb, especially for 3-6 months - France - $900/month fully furnished, utilities, internet, etc. included, while equivalent unfurnished apt rental for same surface and area of the city is approx $1.2k, for 1-3 yrs rental. Even better - after the first iteration of such, some owners are willing to take the apt off VRBO, then rent direct, for longer, as they got to know whom they're dealing with.
So true. I studied algebra and I am fairly acquainted with modern cryptography.

Sometimes I meet "seriously looking" texts that mix cryptographic and information theoretic expressions ("code", "one time pad", "asymmetric", "stream cipher", "entropy", "quantum") in a hodgepodge that does not make any sense, but looks convincing to the amateur reader.

I suppose it is the same with, say, immunology. People can cook up a Sokal-like text that throws all the buzzwords around and look knowledgeable on Facebook, without actually saying anything of value.
What do you expect Facebook to do in this situation? Disobey the order?
I was a funeral director in a previous life and literally encountered thousands of bodies in my career. I can say having seen as much death as I have means I am not really too worried about my own demise. My take on thole thing is: living is what happens when you stop worrying about dying.

Parent comment asked: Why does someone living in NYC, Chicago, London, Paris need a car to get to work? There are some very rare cases yes, but the vast vast majority don't need a car, they want a car.

I'm positing that the assertion that the vast majority don't "need a car" is incorrect, certainly in NYC.
This seems to be a completely normal fork. This is not the first time that happens to open source software, and is an important part of the open source ecosystem. Off course forks are not a nice thing for the original authors, but a lot of good things happened because of forks. Libreoffice, Xorg, and many more.

The original package was MIT licensed, so this is totally legal and okay to do so

If there is a good reason for this fork, is another question. But if the forked library is now getting more traction than the original one, it is maybe doing something better.

PS: the fork is also MIT licensed, so the original author can totally backport the improvements into his original project.
>There needs to be balance

Its is not possible on top of the social media/news media landscape. Whatever gets the most attention "wins".

Belief in something (true or not) without concern for evidence is religion. If your faith can be changed by evidence that contradicts it, then you might begin to practice science by seeking more evidence.
Romance is not the basis of marriage or any relationship. Romance is affective. It can coax us into a relationship, but it isn’t the basis. That is a sign of immaturity. You also end up in the absurd situation where you seek divorce because you’re no longer in “love”.
I'm not claiming that people of any nation in particular drink lighter roasted coffee, or even that Finland is exceptional in this regard. It's not a competition. I'm arguing that on the whole spectrum of coffee roasting, even Finnish supposedly light roasted coffee is not very light at all.
Just seems like the normal wildly delayed reaction partially prompted by sufficient social outrage (also normal).

"Believe in science" doesn't mean believing in any specific scientific fact. It means believing whatever "science" tells you. The problem is that most people aren't equipped to tell the difference between science and pseudoscience, so if they "believe science" then they also end up believing pseudoscience.
This is the part I dislike about these super permissive licenses. Attribution is required, but a couple lines in some random file do you a fat lot of good if someone forks your project, rebrands, and essentially builds on top of your hard work.

It's the ugly side of open source. The community runs on the assumption that we're all on the same side and we wouldn't stab each other in the back like that, but it happens, and when it does, it stings, and a couple lines in some README file don't make up for it.

Is there a license that permits usage as a package, allows people to contribute, but prohibits forking? I guess, similar to what happened with ElasticSearch and others, right?
The original author mentioned reaching out privately.

As a "prolific and known" open source personality you'd think they'd be more careful? Their attitude since then has left a lot to be desired.
Completely normal fork starts by admitting its a Fork in the first place.
You mean it is a rational thing to request if you want to excerce to total control over information in an unlawful dictatorship... I guess yes.

How strange it is to read such normalizing comment.

> Organizations don't have a conscience, but people will not stand for taking personal risks for the imagined benefit of their employer.

I find this to be very true independently of this case: in general, I think people are a lot too much protected from consequences of their actions because they are supposedly acting on behalf of an employer, all the way to the top, until you reach the infamous 'legal personality' of corporations, at which point you've deflected all liability to a very powerful body that can just throw away a few million dollars to get out of jail free. Of course there are details to be worked out, but in general I believe individuals who make decisions should be made personally liable of the consequences, regardless of the organization they work for (and this of course is not exclusive of prosecuting that organization in its own right).
An iron grip could help pee to produce electricity
Actually, there's multiple problems with this:

- Just because you can get a tourist visa "on landing" does not mean you can work in the country (even remotely), so unless you apply for proper work visas everywhere you go you're likely working illegally.

- Many countries like the US base their taxes on your _global income_, so have fun navigating tax treaties, getting double taxed (multiple tax residency locations), and/or (most likely) inadvertantly violating some tax code somewhere...

- Even moving between states/provinces in the same country sometimes has these issues.
Ha! People in Vietnam are notorious for walking nowhere. Need to go to the store down the street? Get the motorbike. Sidewalks are crammed with bikes so being a pedestrian sucks hard in Vietnam.

Add on top you’ll often be riding a motorbike in between container trucks i think your example makes the opposite point you think it does.
it's also worth pointing out the author of nanocolors https://github.com/ai has multiple PRs in the last few days asking libraries to replace chalk/colorette with his nanocolors. smells bad to me but maybe that's how the whole thing works.
The ecosystem of secure proxies are pretty advanced in China (Thanks to, you know ...), you can setup a home router that selectively reroute traffic through different proxies automatically and transparently based on latency, target IP and domain etc.

Since Airbnb is international, I guess if someone (assuming it's a small private operation) is offering rental service there, they might as well setup a proxy for foreign guests.

> Some solutions would sort of work, but unreliably, with extremely minimal bandwidth and would suddenly stop working after some time

The sad part is, anti proxy technology is also fairly advanced. Most of well-known VPN protocols such as OpenVPN, AnyConnect, IPSec and Wireguard etc can be identified via traffic analyze, once GFW detects suspicious traffic, it may launch probes to further investigate the service. That's why Chinese people use Shadowsocks, Clan and V2Ray, those proxies are designed to protect itself from these situations.

Shadowsocks and V2Ray require some know-hows to correctly setup. Notably, Shadowsocks requires AEAD ciphers to be relatively safe, and you should never run Tor through it due to flaws in it's transport protocol. As for V2Ray, avoid VMESS protocol since it's is known to be vulnerable to probe attacks.
I may be unnecessarily cynical, but the only reason you can open up a server anywhere in the west is because you can be gotten by the balls anywhere in the west if you are breaking the laws here. And the issue with spam, child porn, tax evasion has the same probability of occurring in our world as the DNS breakthrough in theirs.

Of course the laws in China are different, but I don’t see why they would be less protective of those laws as we are, even though I would agree that I think that our world is better to live in than theirs.
Not to record the conversation in a form that they can turn it over in a useful fashion in the first place. Eg mine your data from it and then delete it or encrypt it with only the user being able to decrypt it.
Well, I doubt most people on HN care about Mexico, but just in case I will tell you what I have seen as far as AirBnb prices.

The first place I lived in Mexico was an AirBnb I rented for about $700 for two weeks. It had rave reviews. What I didn't realize from the pictures was that it was literally a shack in someone's driveway. A very nicely outfitted shack with a bathroom and a very secure fence and gate. But a small room.

I ended up moving to a place right on the beach for about $775 per month. This was the most touristy area though. Later found an apartment for only $550.

The place where I currently am is further south in Baja. Small apartment but exclusive gated community. Now it used to be an AirBnb that was renting for $70-90 per night. But AirBnb can be a pain to manage so the owner listed it with a real estate company. $500 because people are just not going to pay a lot more for a small apartment -- unless they are from the US and it's on AirBnb.

So I would say, consider getting an AirBnb at first, but use it to look at the local real estate listings. Or be a good guest and get to know the host and maybe they will want to make a lease in person.
Great point and I would actually further emphasize the car aspect of this. Houston for example doesn’t have zoning restrictions like other suburban cities and yet still chose sprawl.

It sucks because we are just sleepwalking through this. Everyone takes it for granted that energy will be cheap and plentiful and that we can always just spread further out or build a bigger highway.
I’d wager a guess that bootcamps teaching JS producing lots of people. Eventually, some will want to recreate something from scratch. A law of large numbers thing. I could be wrong though.

I'm certainly at that level myself. The music I play is done when it hits the walls of the venue. Or my living room. ;-) The main financial impact of recording for me is not having to spend any money on it.

There's a middle level out there. The genres I'm familiar with are things like folk, fiddling, some classical. Some of those people are good enough to travel a little bit, and have a supportive following. Sometimes a local organization will help arrange for a venue, and promote it. Those folks always have a briefcase full of CDs with them.

Disgusting.
There’s one thing about what’s presented here that I strongly oppose: it’s based on a single diff of all of the commits combined, rather than on reviewing individual commits. I want to see a sequence of deliberately-designed commits with good messages. If you do this, then occasionally you’ll want to view the total diff, but much more commonly it’ll be easier for all parties concerned if you look at the commits.

Putting this into practice requires very little alteration in the commands to run: `git diff --stat` becomes `git log --stat`, and `git diff` becomes `git log --patch`.
I'm sure you put a lot of work into it and it looks nice. But terminal just sucks for graphics layout.
Absolutely, but I remember seeing a HN survey that showed most HN users were in their 20’s so no surprise there.

When I lived in Singapore, it was very common for families to have cars despite the world class transit system. And despite the $50-70k for a permit to own a car and the 100% tariffs. That just demonstrates how much utility people get from cars. People are willing to pay a lot to have access to a car.
You're overlooking the fact that it starts with the qualifier "in all criminal prosecutions."

Creator of the original work understands their license, and is happy when this happens [1]. The problem is this minimal, low bar wasn't even met. It was a fork in all sense of the word with git history wiped, renamed, and attribution removed until it was brought up publicly.

The other way to look at this is that this guy’s whole Twitter thread is not in the spirit of open source. It’s not about you. It’s about improving life for everyone by freely sharing code. If you want it to be about you, don’t pick MIT from that drop down.
Now that the U.S. has left Afghanistan, thus reducing our "imperialism" according to Chomsky, are Afghans better off? No, they are worse off, especially women.
He should credit author at least. That would be more with the spirit of OpenSource. Not using licences as a defence that "it's legally okay". It is, many things are legally okay, but still a shitty thing to do.

It’s a karma thing. For example you seem to be enjoying the existence of the internet. Maybe your organ ends up in somebody that enabled that for you or in somebody dear to somebody that made your life better.

And if you say that your organ may end up in somebody you despise you can still ask yourself if it is so bad that you wouldn’t gamble on a “good outcome “.
> Isn't this focused on the young, single, and healthy?

E-bikes are a wonderful thing. In countries with good cycling cultures, the older population cycles more than the younger.

People bike as children and teenagers, then get driving licenses and drive for a few years. Once the novelty of car wears off they start cycling again. It’s cheaper, quicker, easier, and healthier.

> You cannot bike your 3 kids to schools and hospitals during rainy autumn days.

Yes you can. The Dutch do it everyday. Also you don’t need to bike your kids to school, with proper cycle infrastructure, they can bike themselves, sans helicopter parent.

> Some form of "school" starts at around 2-3 y/o. 2-3 year olds cannot take a bus.

There are many types of bikes, include cargo bikes designed to transport multiple young children, driven by one adult. You can even get motor to help you out!

> There is winter, heavy rains, and wind. In most places you cannot rely on a bike all the time.

Dress appropriately! Wear coats! We solved this problem a long time ago. There are plenty of countries where people of all ages and experience cycle year round. In the sun, in the rain, in the wind, in the snow! Don’t limit your cycling to just pleasant weather, by proper clothing so all weather is pleasant.

> In most cities people work far from home, and the early schools the kids go to are also far away. A young family with two 2-5 y/o children will not be able to rely on a bus and a bike, unless they live in some expensive area where everything is nearby and are lucky to have jobs at the same place.

This is very US centric world view. The US has a strange obsession with spreading everything out as much as possible, ensuring that you have to spend your life in car going from A to B. I would argue that more enlighten approach is to put stuff close together, so you can spend your time doing stuff, not travelling to stuff.
A couple of observations:

The local elementary school has a large number of walkers and a large number of children who are driven in. Those who walk in are frequently accompanied by their parents, the parents appear to enjoy the time with their children, and the parents typically hang around to socialize with other parents. Parents who drive their children in usually drop their children off in dangerous spots and spend an awful lot of time socializing with police officers. A number of those parents also try to drive through crossing guards (sometimes literally) who are there to keep the children safe, including the children who were dropped off on the wrong side of the street. Driving may be convenient, but there are many times when convenience is taken too far and the walkers seem to be happier.

Schools in my city tend to be cancelled when the weather is too dangerous for driving yet safe for walking (e.g. large snowfalls) and are virtually never cancelled when it is too dangerous for walking yet fine for driving (e.g. high wind chill). In a way, it makes sense. Walkers can still be driven in when it is unsafe to walk, while most of the children who are driven in cannot walk to school. It is one of the many costs of designing car centric cities instead of walkable ones.
> How would I convince my employer to let me use Nim instead of a better known language?

This is a rephrasing of "nobody ever got fired for buying IBM".

Some organization prioritize innovation and technical acumen.

> So having a nice, performant and good language is just a small part of achieving your goals. You also need the people and the ecosystem.

Many applications don't need a large ecosystem. People can learn.

Python was never corporate-driven, thankfully, and it is successful.

Can you please not sentimentalise comments?

There’s a huge difference between a point made in Realpolitik fashion vs saying it’s a norm.

It’s like having long discussions about how bad rape is vs dicussing actual policies how that could be resolved and saying that you can’t discuss policy because “it’s sounds too cold to my ears”.
