Just putting in a quiet vote for Chicago, that most underrated and magnificent of American cities. If you don't mind the risk of getting murdered once in a while, the city is affordable, beautiful, walkable, full of great food and good people, and has arguably one of the country's best public transit systems. It also has household garbage collection, unlike NYC's trash mountains. It reminds me a lot of the great metropolises outside the country.

It really makes other US cities like Portland, Seattle, San Francisco, etc. seem like quaint little backwater neighborhoods. Most of those have become little more than traffic-ridden strip malls, preserving a tiny downtown district but everywhere else is mostly just a bunch of drive-up destinations with little pedestrian activity and not much liveliness. Chicago's neighborhoods are still super vibrant and full of festivals, and even in the deep snow of winter people will bustle on the sidewalks and converge on the fun pubs and music venues and such. I've never seen anything else like that in the US.

But, yes, walk a few blocks in the wrong direction and you'll soon be dead. Despite that, millions make it their home. It's an amazing place to live.

It does matter. It's an opinion because you have not provided facts to support your claim.
Definitely not as good as the web, if only for zero accessibility. With the web you have a DOM of semantic elements that are all carefully marked up by hand to describe the intent and meaning of everything. With turbo vision and TUIs you have a buffer of bytes with text, graphics, background, etc. all using the same character set. Good luck if you're a screen reader trying to make sense of it.

Believe it or not, New Hampshire does pretty well with building bridges, I saw them build a large bridge within 6 months and it seems roads are kept in a decent shape. In a nearby state where I am, I think it can outdo what you see in your state. Took 10 years to replace a very small bridge across some railroad tracks. That road was closed for 10+ years.

Over rivers ? Where I am, I suggest before you cross, open all your vehicle windows and wear a life preserver, I am serious.
Hi! I'm the product lead for [Crusoe Energy's](https://crusoeenergy.com/) cloud product, which is building a climate aligned data center powered by stranded energy (e.g. flared natural gas). Can confirm it's definitely possible, though definitely a non-trivial problem :)

Cuba is still in charge of their destiny. They are still hostile to the US 60 years on. Cuba crisis was settled by the Soviet withdrawing their nuclear weapon, not by a US invasion. Apparently the Soviets cared more about having a stable relationship with the US than popping up Cuba.
> The bigger problem is that urgency just isn’t there

Pretty much says it all. Unless it's something like replacing a critical bridge that collapsed ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I-35W_Mississippi_River_bridge... ), there just ain't much of a constituency for quick, affordable, and competent construction of anything.

> "The changes would be global and so would the war."

One thing that might lead different people to different perspectives is reflected in your choice of words. Climate change and sea level rise is not a future tense, but a present tense scenario. It's already happening. It's easy to view it as something that happens where you go from today's "normal" to the sea rise of the future and perceive the chaos that must entail. The NOAA, in their 2019 report, puts the worst case scenario at up to 5 meters by the year 2300. [1] So the tail end worst outcome results in an overall sea level rise of less than 2cm a year. There is of course an acceleration but it's relatively gradual. It never goes from zero to 'Let's go swimming on Main St.'

If you'd like to see what might happen in a hyper-accelerated case of sea level rise, you can follow the news about Bangkok. Bangkok is a city that was built on a marshy soft clay type terrain and so the literal weight of urbanization and development within the city is causing the city to sink by compressing the terrain under the city. This is further compounded by real sea level rise, local climate conditions (annual extreme typhoons), and relatively poor infrastructure. A bit of a perfect storm. Estimates vary but the city is sinking by around 2cm per year.

It's an issue and is affecting the city. But it's not really triggering a panic or causing any sort of chaos. The city is trying to resolve the issue using technological and developmental solutions, and life more or less goes on. Should the solutions prove untenable I expect the city will gradually start to decline in population with a proportional increase in population to outlying areas. And life continues.

> Might there be some space/time mechanism at play whereby we're actually seeing the same handful or so of galaxies?

Nope. Current evidence is that space is infinite. Even if that was all wrong, then its incredibly large due to inflation and our past light cone is one tiny bit of it. As time goes on we're seeing more and more of it, and parts that used to be in contact before inflation are only just coming back into contact again (their past light cones overlapping). Those are all unique galaxies. An awful lot of physics would have to be wrong for that to not be true.

I have used fish for so many years I have lost track. Maybe 10 years. Occasionally I need bash and then I just launch a bash shell. But I have gotten fish to work with pretty much everything I need without problems whether prompts or Python environments.

Fish excels as an everyday interactive shell. I never program shell scripts. I write Julia code whenever something equivalent of a shell script is needed. Before that I often used Go.

10 years of professional programming and I still do stuff for fun/learning. Last month I built an SMTP server from scratch in Go I could receive emails from gmail with. A few months before that I wrote a basic Lua implementation in Rust.

My impetus has always been seeing people who know so much more than me and me wanting to narrow that gap any way I can. I only do projects I think will be both fun and educational.
Agreed. and unit tests can help force decoupling.
It's also kinda silly to do streets for something like Manhattan since it's a grid. But landmarks/businesses would work really well in any city.

> There's a reason those laws were passed, and it's because of all the massive groundwater and air and soil contamination problems created by unregulated free-for-all industrial development that have had to be cleaned up at great public expense.

OK, sure, but what does that have to do with building a bridge or a train station? A similar objection occurs on a smaller scale when we talk about opening up zoning laws to allow more apartments. "There's a reason those laws were passed. You're saying you want a chemical treatment plant built by your school?" No, what I said is that it should be legal to build apartments. Who said anything about a chemical plant?

Supporting quick approvals for less hazardous projects doesn't suggest support for more hazardous projects, but implying that it does is an effective opposition tactic.

Yea, this is exactly where I am at with Copilot.

So github copilot is pretty neat I entered this code:

result_dataFrame['yearOverYearMin'] = year_dataFrame.groupby('partId')['unitCost'].min()
result_dataFrame['yearOverYearMax'] = year_dataFrame.groupby('partId')['unitCost'].max()

Then when I put in result_dataFrame['yearOverYearChange'] Copilot gave me

result_dataFrame['yearOverYearChange'] = result_dataFrame['yearOverYearMax'] - result_dataFrame['yearOverYearMin']

So it's a fancy context aware autocomplete. And big productivity booster on code entry.

The minimum price of existence involves reserving a server and 10GB of disk space (about $6/month). This cost is incurred if you leave it empty and do nothing with it the entire month. Serverless things typically can scale cost closer to zero if real usage reflects that.

Yikes.
Pre-internet windows 95 was fine, as long as your hardware was good. A lot of folks had off-brand CPUs with bad cooling, off-brand RAM with problems, etc. which lead to a lot of instability. But on a plain old Intel pentium with good RAM Windows 95 would run forever.

It was a hermetically sealed little environment--there were no updates or changes unless you popped a floppy disk in and made them. If you didn't do anything different it would boot up the next day just like it did the days prior. It wasn't until we started getting those machines on the internet regularly and started running a lot more background tasks, services, new software, etc. that they really started to degrade.
It reminds me of the Lukasa which was used in the Congo river basin around the XVII century. But indeed it use a fundamentally different principle than Quipu.

The Lukasa performs many mnemonic functions, and although all memory cards share some common information, certain types of memory cards are used to communicate specialized or elite-specific data.

It uses multicolored beads, shells and bits of metal, or are incised or embossed with carved symbols.
> A lot. Pen tests, red teams, simulations, etc

Okay, I call bullshit. That which can be claimed without evidence can also be refuted without evidence.

That said, if you’re feeling like finding out do heed caution because I’m sure the Man will love to make an example of the first person we figures out how to pump their gas at $0.01 per gallon.

For me, a simple build tool/process that can be run locally, and also easily replicated in a CI system (that then gets run on each PR). Note this might mean running it as a docker container.

I believe the quality of the build process greatly affects the quality of the code it produces.
We live on a spectrum between excess and efficiency. We could move to a point further in the efficiency direction that isn't morally untenable.

> Honestly, that sounds great.

You're saying that it's totally fine for a renter to pay like one month out of every six months and keep doing that forever, just enough to defer evictions each time?

> The risk of being a rentier should be higher than the risk of an index tracker.

Risk and return should roughly correlate, or people will not do it. There is already very little return in renting out a house, so the risk needs to be fairly low, if society cares to have rental properties available.

> change the risk profile of being a landlord by increasing tenants' rights

What would you expect to happen as a result?

If the risk is too high to compared to the return, these rental units are simply removed from the market. Are you convinced that less available units make renters better off?
Why do people keep on reasoning this way!

One must remember the capex opex distinction. Building e.g. in electricity generation with fossil fuels can be net negative, and even necessary, to bootstrap more electrified activity.

I am not saying some sectors aren't just bad need to shrink, but other sectors are good need to grow. That is what Jason Hickel thinks too, incidentally!

An across-the-board slowdown of economic activity is a very stupid --- both in terms of political impossibility and also needless sacrifice --- way to fix our climate issues.

Depends on what you're looking for but I think this would be more fun if it excluded very tiny streets, like minimum length. I got what is essentially a driveway for two houses that's not paved or labeled, nobody would know it's name (or that it was a named street even) unless you lived on it or next door to it. (I live next door to it). Might be less fun if someone got that on their first try.

But, again, some people are looking for a challenge, so maybe make it an option.

In a world where there is little to no friction and no incentives to prolong the changing of those laws, yes. Unfortunately, that is not the world we live in.

Again, I suggest you digest 'Lithium-Ion Battery Fires in Electric Vehicles - Safety Risks to Emergency Responders' from the US NTSB which is analysis of types of EV vehicle fires.
https://youtu.be/J6eS6JzBn0k

The 220v mig welder example was to demonstrate the different fire characteristics of a trapped/runaway energy battery fire vs gasoline fire. All commercial vehicles such as school buses have a significant fire risk from hydraulic fluids used for brakes, steering etc.

Here is is a refuse truck hydraulic fire example
https://youtu.be/aj8-JlRqoWc

The dramatic bus fire you found was probably a combination of that and upholstery. Diesel is much less flammable than gasoline, one of the reasons for its use in commercial vehicles.
https://www.anl.gov/article/7-things-you-might-not-know-abou...

Again, a major concern for me is the over reliance on electric door locks in EVs, which have trapped Tesla drivers who then burnt to death in high voltage fires.
https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/tesla-driv...

Manual locks would be far safer, especially on school bus full of children. I am not opposed to EVs but I do feel there is a very unrealistic utopian view of their strengths while completely ignoring weaknesses, mostly due to massive public relations persuasiveness.
>Unions and safety.

Do you have a comparison of safety data from projects over the years?

Ask HN: Looking for reading materials for Linux desktop as daily driver
I'm making the switch from Mac OS to Linux as my daily driver. I'm planning on running Debian with kde. Using one of the vanilla builds provided by Debian without too much customization.

I'm hoping to find someone who has also made the switch and can share resources they've found helpful.

I've been a java back end dev for about 10 years now with experience deploying and running services on Linux. I know my way around the command line, not entirely uncomfortable with building things from source, and put myself at an intermediate level knowledge of Linux.

I honestly don't know why Google keeps funding Mozilla. Maybe it's a "useful fool" type of situation where having an inferior browser they can financially puppeteer helps them set their own standards (via WHATWG), since Firefox tries to keep parity with Chrome. Having another browser toe that line maybe helps legitimize those standards such that Google can remain in control and not worry as much about W3C/Microsoft/Apple domination? I dunno. Just speculating here.

It matters less these days since Microsoft gave up and went Chromium and Apple just doesn't care about its browser. Maybe Google already won and Firefox is on its last breaths?
