There’s an NPM package containing this implementation called ‘undici’ that you can install in previous versions of Node; the package.json claims support back to 12.x.

https://www.npmjs.com/package/undici

However the fetch implementation itself is documented as unstable and only supports Node 16.x. I believe this is because it is not quite spec compliant yet, so there is latitude for breaking changes that make it more spec compliant.
Technically 0F is the freezing point of water, just a different type of water.

As a European I find Fahrenheit kind of makes sense on a human scale as 0 and 100 are the upper and lower limits of it being reasonable to be outside. Below 0 is "too cold", above 100 is "too warm" and when it is 50 it is neither warm or cold.
I just don’t understand why you would ask that question of perfect strangers on Hacker News.

And why would you call homesteading a bandwagon? It’s a major life decision, not a new kind of yoga pants.

Thanks for sharing this anecdote. I've had this same "throat feeling" observation for years (thought I was just weird). I used to drink Coke semi-regularly, and would prefer it over water when I had a sore throat both because of the "scratchiness" but also because it would coat my throat whereas water would "strip" my throat of mucus/saliva.

It was the lower numbers that i question. I wonder how long it can sustain even those, and at what sacrifice to efficiency.
Yeah exactly, I always try to (make them) come up with an experiment that would show if they’re right or not. Honestly it’s a challenge and my wife always points out that the kids have stopped listening. I need to learn to stay brief… It just happens so little that I get too excited when it does.

consider if there is a in between option that fits. Off grid but not self sufficient? No animals but huge garden? Try to find the things that do give value to you. If you did the whole thing just to be known as the homesteading guy then be honest with yourself and give it up.
I am by no stretch of the imagination homesteading, but I happen to live on a farm. It is not an active farm - the land is rented out to a nearby farmer and the only animals to be seen are a couple of cats and deer like you wouldn't believe.

Anyway, just keeping what land is not rented out and the buildings from degrading is nigh on a full-time job in itself; trenches need to be dug and maintained, forest kept at bay, houses painted, roofs mended &c.

I've much respect for anyone who decides to give it a go, but I believe your assessment is correct: It is an awful lot of work for little gain but subsistence, not leaving much time or money for other pastimes.

A couple of hundred years ago, the alternative to this back-breaking work might have been starving or succumbing to the elements.

Today, the alternative is just about any paid job, outsourcing all the backbreaking work to other, larger, more efficient units.

For most people, the choice is simple; for other, more adventurous people, trying out the lifestyle is tempting enough to actually go ahead and do it.

You've gone ahead and done it, found it not to be all it was cranked up to be.

Unless you find (or think you will eventually find) comfort and fulfillment in the work in its own right, I'd say cut your losses, find employment somewhere and try to use the lessons learned while homesteading to your advantage in phase II of your career in the big city.
Nobody's unbiased.

The best you can hope for is a source that wears its biases on its sleeve. Then you can judge how those biases might have influenced information from that source.

The least-reliable sources tend to proclaim their "neutrality", i.e. they deliberately conceal their biases.

It's very difficult. If you don't LOVE it then don't fight it. If you loved it, you'd know. You might still dislike the amount of work or some of the work itself, but I think you'd know.

The other possibility is that you are re-romanticizing city life. Grass is always greener. Perhaps an extended vacation of a month or two back in the city will give you fresh perspective or the certainty you need.

AWS Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS) Review
I do think there’s an opportunity for someone to homestead and incorporate modern technology. A lot of homesteaders are focused on doing it the traditional way, but I believe there is a good deal of money to be made from IoT and automation in farming and homesteading.
The bottom of this article links to an article by Michael Herf (of f.lux fame, but also having had developed Picassa) on his radix sort optimizations. I considered these two articles to be absolutely critical to my understanding of algorithms back 20 years ago, when I was finally transitioning to "more complex" development while working with/for Jake Cannell (who had worked under Herf and was paying close attention to Pierre). I came to believe that sorts that don't at least try to use don't use radix somewhere are somehow "missing the point" of algorithmic design.

A decade later, while working on Cydia--which has a complex problem of trying to provide efficient local operation of a federated "app store" on mobile devices, and was dealing with a need to sort tens of thousands of packages (and which had been very very slow with users getting increasingly angry at me refusing to centralized the service)--I ended up determining my biggest issue was the sorting process and turning to radix sort, using some experimentally-chosen offsets for radix passes, which I could use to "mostly sort" the data before switching to an insertion sort "fixup" pass (which could then use the fully-unicode-aware number-parsing magical comparator people are used to).

>And in real-life democracy it's the same. Ultimately it's the army that has the tanks.

There is a lot of truth to this, but the online version is far worse. In a physical democracy, you can't be prevented from participating except by the efforts of the other participants. Even in authoritarian states, there must be people who inform on you, people to drive the tanks, etc.

In the online version, one person can do all of those jobs.

>What do you mean by that? If wikipedia jumps the shark people can make a new wikipedia.

This is missing the point of the article. "People" cannot make a new Wikipedia. The average Wikipedia user cannot write a single line of code, or administrate a server, or do anything useful towards creating a new instance. Only those with technical knowhow can actually subvert Wikipedia's centralisation.

A world where "people" are able to spin up new instances when they want to is exactly what federation aims for - but the point the article makes is that such a world needs all users to be technically capable. The author's idea of an "online democracy" involves users who are empowered even though they aren't capable: how can those people avoid a technical coup?
>Wouldn't it be best to act as if it's fact, even without definitive evidence one way or another? Otherwise it's like deciding to not drive cautiously on a mountain road because your GPS isn't sure if there's a sharp turn ahead.

Obviously this is climate change related so lets just stick with climate change doomsdays.

~2006, Super hurricanes! https://www.breitbart.com/the-media/2015/06/01/media-fail-no...

Lets just look at that last one. The rationalization seems sound. So much more energy in the oceans would seem to suggest it would give more power to hurricanes. but the exact opposite of the prediction happened.

What is the motivation behind Al gore's false claims?

Al Gore invested $ in renewables, he will profit greatly when we switch over. However, as an evangelist, he may be exagerating the doom and gloom a lot.
The resolution mechanism is decentralized. Zones are published and resolved through a peer-to-peer mechanism with the goal of preventing censorship and allow for query/response privacy.

Is the namespace decentralized? That depends on how you use it.
If you use GNS with an ICANN provided root zone configuration (this is an example, there is no such thing atm), then your names will have the same meaning as for other people using this configuratin.
If you build your root zone from scratch, you will have modified the namespace in such a way that names are no longer unique.
If you go full petname system (ie. names are basically treated as your personal address book), the names are no longer unique.

Think about DNS:
If you are sufficiently technically literate, you can run your own root servers and use them. Is DNS at odds with Zookos triange? I would argue: Yes, depending on how you use it. It is just very common to use it with unique global names.
> Whenever a company tries to sell you their GDPR compliance by stating data is "encrypted at rest" you should call bullshit.

"Encryption at rest" is part of any sensible GDPR compliance concept; the threat that is being defended against is theft or seizure of servers and in the case of portables like laptops and USB sticks also loss of them - without the keys or password, the data is useless.
A judge dismissing a charge doesn't mean that the gun was legal, though: There are a lot of different reasons to dismiss. Technicalities and not having enough strong evidence for that particular charge are two that come to mind.

-You're never done with a farm, it is a constant battle against the elements. (It's just doubly hard if you need to break the land first, making it suitable for farming - but maintaining land comes with its own set of challenges.

We’re planning to buy 10-20 acres about 30 minutes outside the city, have a few animals, have a large garden (0.5 acres probably), but I intend to keep my job. Our goal is to produce something instead of only consume, reduce our dependence on a supply chain that we think is untenable, and be able to grow most of our own food should we need to. We’re going to focus on growing food that’s easy to grow. I expect this will be work, but not a soul crushing amount. Is it possible that doing something like I’ve described would be a “best of both worlds” thing, or worst?
There are already a gazillion variations of the game out there. Any kid can take the core idea and make an open source version with all these configurations. Actually it has already been done, just look for the "evil wordle" version that was some "show HN".

My point is that, while is nice for the original creator that he could find someone to give that much money for the game, this valuation is only based on how much rent the NYT might be able to extract from it, not from the value of the creation itself. And that tells me that as an user I have nothing to benefit from this acquisition.
Legally, probably not; effectively, yes! You need a good attorney to defend yourself against an entity like that, and as a (likely) kid fresh out of college who's hard up for cash (else why would you be singing with Unbounded/BrighterBrain/Enhance IT to begin with?) that's an attorney you can't afford. Your ass is gonna get creamed in court and you may end up paying their legal fees in addition to the original $20,000.
> And why would you call homesteading a bandwagon? It’s a major life decision, not a new kind of yoga pants.

This is true, but I understand why OP would say it's a bandwagon. There's been a sharp increase in homesteading as a trend going around Tik Tok, YouTube, etc. People are seemingly more interested in it now.

No idea, but theorizing “out loud”. Your body could be producing a bunch of insulin in response to the sweet, which lowers your blood sugar level to below normal levels since there’s no actual sugar for it to move around. Low blood sugar (< 70 mg/dl iirc) can lead to lightheadedness I believe, but folks who need to take insulin would be able to speak to that a lot more than I can.

I’ve seen some people say that they have an insulin response to artificial sweeteners but I don’t know if there’s any medical literature to confirm/quantify it.
Voluntarily paying for subscriptions is exactly what people _don't_ want to do when an equivalent service can be had free of monetary charge.

Also, the largest problem with "subscribing to your tribe" is that on the internet your email address is often your identity. If I have a falling-out with Tribe A and need to move to Tribe B, now I have the hassle of changing over all of the accounts using by Tribe A identity to use my Tribe B identity. This only gets worse when I have to move my entire blog and maybe even DNS entries (assuming I wanted the added hassle of managing my own domain in the "democratic" internet).

Changing identity is the "payment in sweat" I mentioned above. Most people will make the a priori decision that changing identity is too much work and instead favor the centralized systems like Google to manage identity.
As a rural dweller(15 miles from the nearest town) the whole homestead(read: (semi)off grid, no prior experience, DIY ALL THE THINGS!) movement to me seems completely stupid. It's encouraging people that have no experience or knowledge to leave the world they know, and enter a world they don't. Then, start that world on extra hard mode, and if they don't do it all they're laughed at. They also neglect to tell folks that it's manual labor, A LOT of manual labor. Not 1 hour at the gym on the treadmill at 4mph labor. Digging holes, carrying feed bags and building fences with every spare moment of the day manual labor. TikTok and youtube leave out the parts where you just got shit on by a cow, ran over by a pig but that doesn't matter the tractor is stuck so you gotta start digging or you'll have no way to get hay into the cows so they'll starve. And at the end of that day you've got to cook your own dinner from ACTUAL ingredients because hello fresh! and uber eats don't exist. It's not a life for folks that don't enjoy. If you don't, leave it, no shame.

Another thing the socials leave out is how damn isolating it is. You're alone buddy. like ALONE ALONE. ever wonder why you see folks stopped on gravel roads chatting for 2 hours? Because they haven't seen another human for a few days or even weeks. Again, living in the country isn't for everyone, and especially hard on people that didn't grow up around that environment or have a skill that helps out here(carpenter, mechanic, etc)

Homesteading and living in the country isn't about following someone else's way. It's about finding your own. Maybe living 20 miles down a gravel road, only using solar panels to heat your tent isn't for you. Maybe living a little outside the burbs, with 2-5 acres and a big garden is your jam.
This isn’t one: the Reuters reporter got confused — the press release mentioned that it still shows an effect in vitro (which we’ve known for a long time, along with many other drugs which haven’t shown beneficial effects in actual patients), and also mentioned the phase III clinical trial which is still ongoing. The reporter wrote the first version of that story conflating the two but there’s really not much here.
>the war about resisting invasion (for Britain).

It wasn't about resisting Britain being invaded if that's what you mean, it was the invasion of Poland that kicked it off. Rather similar to the current where we are resisting Russia invading Ukraine. Hitler didn't want to fight the UK. He wanted to partner with us to take over the other 'racially inferior' countries.
They almost entirely are military market. A chipscale atomic clock is really only good for GPS-denied environments whether that means a UAV looking for a jammer or some very small device underwater that doesn't have room for a traditional rack mount time and reference frequency source. Space (civil and military) is another application where you may have a satellite that is not in optimal range of GPS satellites and may need a backup reference. There could be some mining and petro industry applications but again, something deep underwater or underground. Anything other situation and you'd have clear sky for GPS.

There's a couple of things at play here.

You mention friends pulling away financially and socially. Speaking to finances, "Keeping up with the Joneses" is hard to do if you're measuring yourself against a peer group that has not much in common any longer. Socially, it would depend on your group of friends. If you just no longer have time for them, then that's a question of "how much do I value this change in lifestyle versus valuing the friendships I'm going to lose?"

Growing up I lived in a small farming community. My parents had essentially a hobby farm, but we were surrounded mostly by large-scale farmers and the occasional farm that would probably qualify as part of the "homestead" movement these days.

It is hard work and not something I would ever seek to do for myself.

BUT: The one thing I found growing up in that community is that for a specific type of personality, that kind of hard work is its own reward. Patching up fences, being able to "create" a thing (even if it's just growing plants), it's a different kind of reward that for some people seems like plenty.

I think if you find that reward offsets the work you're doing, and you generally find your life to be better for you than before, then I think you made the right choice.

I would also say, the stresses of living on a farm are markedly different than job stresses. Being physically tired at the end of the day but having the mental energy (or hunger at points) to sit down and burn through a good book or documentary is something I actually miss quite a bit.

At the end of the day, if you tried it out and don't like it it's not a failure. You've no doubt learned a lot of valuable skills and those can be handy in unexpected places.
