I don't feel like that addresses the part of the comment I was speaking to:

> "hey, this is going directly into fixing the roads, and your property tax will only go up $8 per month to afford it, otherwise your roads will stay shitty", I think most people could be convinced to go along with it.

At a minimum, you could create a system that takes the budget and shows a percent breakdown of where your money goes. If you packaged it nicely so that you could understand it at a glance it would go a long way towards what the comment I was responding to was talking about. After looking at my city's budget, I think there is still a lot of room for improvement. For my municipality at least, it seems to be a mix of specific and extremely nebulous items. I can see that the fire department purchased several new vehicles and even the type of vehicle but the road works department just lists additions to their "fleet" and the sanitation department just lists "new vehicles". I see items for sidewalk and street repairs along with the name of the street but no indication of how much pavement was repaired or what the breakdown of labor vs materials was. I think knowing all of the details would help the public assist their representatives to correct overages and would be a bulwark against corruption. e.g. If I run a business that sells fasteners and I see that the city government is overpaying by 30% for the bolts they use to put up new street signs I could bid on the contract next time around or maybe tip off the newspaper if it's more like 200% over retail.

I haven't (yet) read him but I think Gramsci wrote about stuff like this in a very detailed way. From the wiki page [1] (because, again, I haven't yet read him, maybe there's a gramscian in here who can come up with better quotes):

> The bourgeoisie, in Gramsci's view, develops a hegemonic culture using ideology, rather than violence, economic force, or coercion. Hegemonic culture propagates its own values and norms so that they become the "common sense" values of all and thus maintain the status quo.

Agree there was a shift, and while it hadn’t occurred to me before, your timing makes sense.

Reddit used to be that place where you had definitely “read it” first.

Now, to your point, most subs that bubble via algo to all and popular are tumblogs (infinite image/meme scrollers), and posts come after it’s already been on IG and Facebook groups.

I’d chalked this up to IG influence, but Tumblr diaspora makes as much sense, together with your hypothesized shift to pop engagement over niche quality.

Still works that if you dump the subs that show up in all or popular, you can get back to text / long-text niche interests. Most seem to be slowing pace of posts and discussion replies though, so unclear how much longer that will last.
How close are we to having a webcam/microphone for smells? Even if it only detects a small fraction of the thousands of the existing molecules, it would definitely be interesting, especially with some learning model built on top.

Outwardly displaying extreme emotion about everything, as a norm, inherently makes it seem like people who restrain themselves from displaying emotion (or grievances) do not have any. Or none of any importance.

yeah everything agrees on the necessity to chose meaningful/short/descriptive/concise names.

but I was asking if there's anything to keep in mind when building large complex code.

- how long or short are your functions?

- what do you comment?

- can you actually use only pure functions?

- how large are your files?

- how do you manage 3rd party dependences or do you don't use any?

- how do you mange bundle size and enforces code quality?

- when to break a function or break a file into smaller parts?

- do you create functions that call only other functions or each function should have some procedural code?

giving code examples of a well written code snippet would be so helpful!

Not necessarily. The state still takes a percentage eg: property tax, maintenance, utilities, safety certifications, etc.

Just because BTC is temporarily correlated with risk assets, that doesnt mean it wont change.

Also, it's better to look at charts by starting at the beginnning of this 4 year cycle, dont pick out a bearish 6 month period and falsely claim BTC fails the inflation test. Short termism and Bitcoin's monetary policy are incompatible.

Crypto has cooled off considerably during the last few months. It's kinda drifting on the waves of the stock market. It needs a new narrative to become "hot" again, than it'll decouple.
Just because a platform is not relevant or interesting to you or your circles doesn’t mean it has no value to others. Lots of people got a lot of value out of using Tumblr. When Facebook was limited to people you know in real life, Tumblr allowed for anonymity and making friends with people with similar experiences.

As far as the Inquisition, the historical reality falls far short of the Monty python esque black legend our culture has inherited from protestant Europe. Really, trying to portray the Inquisition that way has more to do with historical anti catholic bias than facts and figures. These sorts of analyses always tend to ignore inter-protestant sectarian violence or any of the killings of catholics by protestants , usually out of ignorance but often due to selective framing for ideological purpose.

This is a misunderstanding of how the money supply works. Central banks have a legal monopoly on the issuance of currency, but they don't have complete control about the money supply, because commercial banks also create money via fractional reserves. Over 80% of the money in circulation is created in this way by commercial banks. And this applies to bitcoin as well. Crypto-exchanges can expand the supply of any crypto-currency by creating deposits that aren't fully backed with reserves. The idea that no one can expand the supply of bitcoins beyond 21 million is a nothing but fairy tale.

Arguably, if someone would hack BTC, he or she would have to make sure no-one found out.

Change of law risk is also a business risk. You can see this most clearly in situations like companies constructing tax avoidance schemes. Everyone involved knows that the law may well be changed to close the loophole being used. So the question is whether you can make a profit off the scheme before then. Ditto if you're a brewer and the state changes the alcohol laws in some unhelpful way. The situation here isn't that different.

I don't mean to criticize you, because I have the same dream. You can certainly do that yourself, but your country would still run on phoned-in people--the same way that the hobbits and Tom Bombadil relied on Gondor.

When you say "we survived without it, we can do it again", you're implying that everyone can do it. But "we" still need to solve several major problems:

- National defense

- Fuel

- Power

- Medicine

- Food

- Construction

- Textiles

The "retreat to a small town" hasn't really ever worked as a large-scale model. Small towns in Europe were still backed up by national militaries, as were small towns in the U.S. There has to be some large-scale, militaristically competitive infrastructure in place before a calm, slow existence could return to a meaningful fraction of the population.
phone verification sucks, though. I refuse to use anything that has it mandatorily. And disposable emails are also a problem because of spam.
Crypto will be the death of HN. OPs comment is something that has been talk about since 2012 and looking at one or two parent comments they cover the depth that is required to answer why this doesn’t matter or can’t be determined. However it’s crypto so now we have 50+ comments about why X thinks Y is stupid. Why crypto is a waste. Why crypto is the best. But its all 100% stupid unfounded word vomit.

HN has shows crypto is too polarizing of content to have intelligent discussion here.

Doesn't even Windows do that? Rename a file in File Explorer, and the app that has it open pops up a dialogue saying "File So-and-so has been renamed.", or some such. But maybe that's because the app has to do the work of keeping track of it (though probably via hooks into the OS / Explorer), so it's not fully automatic? Can't recall if all apps do it, think I've only noticed it in a few.
I don't have Netflix every month anymore. The content is getting more spread out over so many of these newer streaming services.

I used microtonality as an example. Yes, it can be done with MIDI 1.0 but it's a hack whereas with MIDI 2 it's built-in. Actually, you could probably emulate much of MIDI 2 functionality using MIDI 1 but it would just become a new protocol over an old one at some point.
I didn't see a way to post a comment on the article, so I'll post here. Regarding performance concerns, my own project https://github.com/arxanas/git-branchless is designed to work very fast at monorepo scale.

It primarily supports a patch-stack workflow, but largely using your existing Git workflows. (There is no difference between a patch and a commit, for example; patch identity is implicitly tracked using Git's `post-rewrite` hook.)

To modify the order of patches, you use `git rebase -i`. To modify a patch's content, you can check it out directly and amend it (which will update the descendant patches). To rebase onto another ref, you use `git move`; if it doesn't apply cleanly, then it aborts the operation without ever touching your working copy, unless you pass `--merge` to force conflict resolution.
They're very different experiences. My 911 does 0-60 in around 3.2s, whereas the Y is about 4.2s now that it has the optional acceleration boost. So the 911 still feels considerably faster when it's at the peak of the power curve with the turbos fully spooled. It's a lot more work to extract the power though: you've got to be high in the rev range, get the turbos spooled up, shift the gears yourself (it's a manual), etc. And that's not necessarily a bad thing: extracting the performance like that is fun.

But it's also fun to just mat the throttle at any moment and have the vehicle leap forward, which is the electric thing. Even with the long range, it feels like you can go from a near stop to significant speed instantaneously. (Although one downside of that is that it starts to feel slower in comparison as you build speed, whereas the 911 Turbo is the opposite.) Also the traction control system is fantastic. It doesn't have the handling of the 911 (or the S2000), but it does start and stop on a dime, even in the wet. So you can extract a lot of performance out of it, but you need to drive it differently to do so.

I've autocrossed all three cars and tracked the 911 and S2000; each requires a significantly different driving style to get the most out of it. The S is a momentum car with crazy cornering capability, so it's all early apexes and maintaining speed. The Model Y is the exact opposite. You basically want to drive in straight lines, shortest path. Brake hard in a straight line to bring the weight to the front, short, tight corner, then hammer the throttle and straighten out, and let the traction control send the torque where it can go. If you try to carry speed through the corner it'll just push (understeer). The Turbo is somewhere in-between. On a big track it's the fastest of the three, but on an autocross course the S2000 and probably even the Y, if the course is tight or it's wet, have it beat.
This was announced in November, and the US is applying the same border policy on Jan 22nd on their end as well.

I think this is an insightful comment and I'm sorry to see it get downvoted.

I live in a large condo building. It has its pros and cons. It's great, in theory--750-1000 people pooling their expertise and funds to tackle infrastructure issues. Great recent example: we fixed a sewer lateral (the pipe that connects to the sewer under the building). Three of them, total cost 200k. Sounds a lot until you realize we spread it across ~350 units (600/unit), which is roughly 1/10th what a typical suburban homeowner would pay for the same thing.

The other side of the coin is that, in larger political structures, governance REALLY matters. You can end up with a relatively well-run condo like mine, or a large, wasteful organization that squanders obscene sums on pet projects and outright corruption.

Many people don't even know this, but SF has been under federal investigation for high-level corruption in the public works department for over a year [1]. The thrust of your comment is correct. Large cities attract large amounts of money, much of which gets wasted, or ends up lining pockets in hard, or even "soft" corruption, with jobs and contracts steered to friends (qualified or not) via patronage networks.

What I think you miss though, is that there's a middle ground. You don't have to be either extreme drive-everywhere suburbia, or a giant mega-city like Beijing or New York. My home town, Homewood, IL, is a nice, walkable city of about 20,000, with a nice downtown, plenty to do, and relatively honest (if not always saintly) government.

The mid-size towns and suburbs can do a lot more to encourage the kind of urbanism the author calls for. Getting explicit about cultivating nice, walkable downtowns is a start. Many, including Homewood, don't, because "development" and "jobs" are seen as unqualified goods, without thinking about the cost side of the equation (roads, plumbing, etc required to service this stuff).

I've written for Strong Towns. What they get most right is that (1) LAND is the scare resource in a town, and (2) cities should explicitly encourage uses that lead to the highest taxable value of that land. Big box retail isn't this. Denser housing and retail districts (I own one of these buildings), is. The numbers on this are simple and don't lie.

I have been on and off on the intermittent fasting bandwagon since 2019. Mostly time restricted feeding. 18+ hours works much better for me than 16 hours.

I lost some fat, I got rid of my high blood pressure (no more medication - after 17 years no less) and I am a lot more mindful about what I eat. Once you only have limited opportunities to eat in a day, you will start caring more; each meal is precious.

I also learnt a few tricks. If you are really, really hungry, even a single hazelnut or two is enough to put your stomach to rest again. Many fasters recommend clear bone broth, especially for longer fasting periods. It is very soothing.

Caffeine is a two-sided sword. It will suppress your hunger, but it will also make you way more jittery. I am very careful about caffeine now, I drink decaf only on "normal" days and will only have caffeinated drinks when traveling.

Diet sodas are a problem for me. They upset my empty stomach very reliably and sometimes lead to heartburn. No longer drinking them.
The difference being that BTC has no utility that people depend on. They can refuse to buy the BTC from the now-GenZer or even the Winklevoss twins if they'd rather have food or shelter or a chanel bag rather than BTC. The real world phenomenon that this corresponds to is consumer price inflation or asset price inflation (assuming your asset is production capacity and the medium of exchange is BTC)
Being a landlord, or being an oil baron in an economy that is dependent on petrol, is different because people actually need those things. So antidemocratic aristocrats who inherited a land with substantial oil reserves can now buy lots of startups via softbank or build artificial cities because our cheapest way to acquire petrol is still to dig it out of the ground in those countries where reserves accumulated in the last millions of years, and pay local rulers for the permission to do it.

I remember about 8 years ago I read a very interesting report (Bloomberg?) that said basically over 50% of American cities have overbuilt highly inefficient infrastructure and cannot even by greatly raising taxes continue to maintain them. I think it called them zombie cities or something like that.

The only choice for the distant suburbs will be to come up with some sort of self sustaining infrastructure (old farmhouse style) or abandon the suburbs and move closer to the city.
