Anti-car is pro-nature not pro concrete jungle. Cars are a big part of why we have a concrete jungle and not nature intersected with density. Think of cities with substantial nature passages, botanic gardens and reserves throughout. Not just one big one but many.

Suburbia isn't nature either, at least not standard suburbia. It's carbon intense lawn, concrete and asphalt. A front lawn and a big tree isn't nature. The pro-car angle seeks to expand suburbia, and destroy more and more nature. You may see more greenery but it's just grass and the odd pasture.

I don't think anyone in the anti-car movement is saying, don't drive to a national park or mountain. The anti-car movement is about removing cars from the city and reducing the impact of suburbia on the greater area, which includes national parks.
I think one of the hardest parts of procedural generation is curation. Finding the interesting results and then somehow highlighting them.

Your approach of having both the curated galleries as well as an interactive version is really nice.

I wonder whether you have also experimented with a 3d version. It would be nice to spin these around.
I deploy a single golang binary to well over 15k servers (many are only 100mbit) across many data centers and update it many times a day/week. Using xz, it compresses down to about 5mb.

As much as I love Java (I co-founded Apache Java), golang is a great fit for this usecase.
I see no need to tolerate ignorant non sequiturs but I’ll be kind in the spirit of my point and ask that you re-read my prior comments and hopefully understand that’s not what I’m suggesting.

Being inflexibly and uniformly critical of all ignorance also drives people off. And the direct subject to a reply isn’t always the most important audience. Sometimes you’re persuading people who are passively reading along. If that sounds absurd in this scenario, consider the number of times a gentler rebuttal in a discussion has given you pause to reconsider some foolish idea you hadn’t expressed. If you can’t think of one, you’re either an outlier genius or maybe overconfident and overcompensating.

Either way, most people aren’t dissuaded of their ignorance by being chastised for it. Speaking as someone who’s lost important friends learning that the hard way.
If we had the pre-1994 telecommunications act radio ownership structure, music would sound different every decade because local djs would find bands they liked and promote them. I bet recent music movements that have been ignored by the mainstream like Synthwave would probably be the new thing defining the 2020s.
VMs as a service are a good tradeoff, since you control most of the software you run (except the hypervisor) and can move it to your local devices easily, which usually also have good hypervisors.

Of course, with VMs you still have the problem of having to be a sysadmin and setup, configure and secure software. I guess that is why SaaSS is so popular.

I think what they want to achieve (confidence building, trust) is laudable, but I think we can all see that the "do the research" crowd will interpret a scientist badge policed by Nature or a peer review group as proof of world government.

Not that I wouldn't appreciate having it available. But, what about the occasional dickhead scientist? The ones who hang onto tenure by a single thread, but have something interesting to say? David Graeber might exemplify. He pissed off a lot of people. [0]

Or, more perverse, the ones who are off-piste, but use their "I am a SKIENTIST" badge to intrude into fields they don't understand, and do bad work. Prof Ian Plimer comes to mind: occasionally on point, but often out to oppose AGW in fields he hasn't got the chops in. [1]

A reasonable response to this post would be "you really just mean you agree with one, and not the other" -but the underlying point is still there. Inside their field, they'd own a blue scientist mark. Outside of their corpus of work, people would have to understand the limits of applicability of the badge.

If the badge scheme has sub-field, then it gets down to a mighty complicated decision sum over the relevance of mathematics to everything...

Thank you! I totally agree; the curation part is by far the hardest part for me. Tyler Hobbs writes about the curation process nicely here: https://tylerxhobbs.com/process

> when the pro-urban/pro-density/anti-car people talk about their vision for the world

Beggars belief your response to an article on the psychological and health benefits of nature is… more cars?

Building roads, urban sprawl, the noise and pollution from the cars themselves, the destructive invasion of all the infrastructure associated with car-use - all of it is directly destructive of the nature we’re talking about.

I've spent the last year living at my parents' cabin in the woods. It's right next to Jackson state forest. They've got 8 acres of land full of wildlife and redwoods. Waking up and stepping out onto the deck in the morning feels like crawling out of your tent when camping.

But now it's back to SF as the office is reopening. I won't miss driving 3+ hours to see friends, but I will miss the scenery.
"stalking" may not have been the best word there, I'll change it to "spam".

> I feel the real value add of a job posting site will be filtering out recruiter spam. Will you curate companies who use third party recruiters and agencies?

I was thinking of the following approach: companies can directly search for candidates. They'll be able to tick a checkbox that says they're OK with it if there is a third party involved. That third party can be:

- a company that hires (for example) developers and assigns them to temporary projects. I searched for a proper term: I think it's called a temp agency in English. This is one of the examples I mention on the "manage" page.

- a recruiter. This would mean a shift would take place in who decides to involve a recruiter. Instead of companies, it would be individuals who want help in their process of getting a new job. I've been lucky enough to be in a position where recruiters ended up putting 3 new job offers on my table with minimum effort from my end: a fantastic experience. Hopefully https://withoutdistractions.com/cv will give many people this kind of experience, but I was thinking: what if you, even with the spam-free character of the platform, end up getting 20 messages from 20 different companies? Total luxury "problem", but then it may make a lot of sense to let a recruiter handle some things for you.

> What do you feel is the catch with HTMX?

For me it took a while before I started "getting" htmx. Once everything you write is HTML snippets, it may not be immediately obvious to your brain where your requests are happening, etc.

> the 10k bundle size [is] minuscule compared to typical web packages, but hand written HTML / JS will involve 0k extra bundle size.

That's true! But then I'd have to manually write logic to put responses into the DOM, which HTMX handles for me. HTMX probably does way more than I personally need, but 10k is already amazing compared to your typical Angular app. And the docs are super clear!
When your 100, you don't know if you'll wake up the next day, so you take one day at a time.
Google is also crippled by employees who demand the firm follow the latest social justice whim (which has prevented them from entering big markets in the past, like defense and China). Sun had employees actively trying to build things, even if they were the wrong things.

Microsoft has an amazing track record of binary compatibility, not source. Although that does imply that you should be able to run an old compiler and make it work.
This may have been true at one point, however new frameworks are the "standard" every few years, and the pool for anything > a junior dev depletes quickly.

Documentation or (preferably and) built in language convention are the winners here as frameworks come and go.

AWS comes with a massive learning curve prohibiting junior/mid-level developers from adopting the cloud.

I have spent lots of time fiddling with OpenVPN and Wireguard configurations. On a whim I tried out Tailscale and literally within 10 minutes I was up and running, it totally blew my mind.

Not a paid shill and I don't even use it that much but when I do I can count on it to work (which is a level of faith I never had in my own OpenVPN configs).
It's not surprising considering how many major versions of Windows have since passed. XP and 7 each broke large swaths of software, for mostly good reasons, despite all sorts of work to maintain compatibility.

The important thing is it's a starting point. foone specifically indicated a desire to update and extend the software, which means at minimum, a fork that runs on modern platforms.
I feel like it's close... but it's pretty hard to take engineers off of modern day projects to go figure out what's needed to make an almost 30-year old set of source code to build. I imagine some folks will get this building soon that are smarter than we are!
> A lot of urban folks are rebutting my “substantial nature” complaint with references to their city’s parks

One important aspect of nature is the ability to escape people. Most city parks cannot do that.

Excellent posts. Coincidentally couple weeks ago while evaluating a HTTP response for a web service, I noticed that for tabular data, CSV is much more optimal than JSON; yet there is lack of HTTP header support for CSV responses that could provide clients with supplementary information in order to keep parsers adaptable.

If you have a copy of the said RFC, would like to refer.
This. This reminds me of a couple of other hot threads on HN like Google not allowing you to log back in to old dormant accounts. It's abundantly clear to me that it's the same thing, same motivation.

The world desperately needs to move away from username + passwords. Google might seem really pushy right now, but it's simply a trailblazer. My prediction: in a few years every company that handles valuable personal information will behave like what Google is doing today.

Same story. I got a Ferragamo leather jacket 15 years ago that I've worn often. It has all been scratched up and tainted in places. Went to a local shop to have it shampooed and reconditioned. It's all fixed up and shines like new. I can definitely wear it for another 20 years. It only costed $80.
Excel does, but merging is not a "best practice". It breaks navigation and causes all sorts of annoying UX issues.

Phytoncides (antibiotic plant metabolites) are thought to boost immunity in a very direct way: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/20074458/

Some cultures practice „forest bathing“ which would probably reap the greatest benefits (besides living in the woods, obviously).

Maybe this sounds gimmicky, but boosting immunity has a lot of downstream effects, from heart health to brain health to structural integrity and longevity. The body can put the resources it otherwise needs to do damage control into useful things like producing enzymes and correcting metabolic shortcomings.

I wasn’t advocating for suburbs. There are more options besides suburbs and urban areas—you should check them out!

> If you want to see nature, you have to live way out in the boonies, on at a minimum, two-acre lots. If everyone lived like that, we'd all have two-hour commutes on twenty-lane highways.

What a strange comment! Millions of people live with reasonable access to nature and most of them don’t have 2 acre lots nor do they need “twenty-lane highways”. Y’all urban folks need to venture out of your cities once in a while—it’s a biiiiggg world out there.

Funny thing is, making cities more green isn't even _that_ difficult. I see above conversations on living closer to nature, or mountains vs parks - but the vast majority of time spent is walking and driving in the cities. So it seems a no-brainer that before everything else, before thinking about taking a 2 hour drive to hike, or making the time for a weekly visit to the park, we should first make sure the places people actually walk through and live in every day are as green as possible.

There is no one solution, of course, since at the very least climates and budgets can be wildly different, but a good start is making sure every street has a green canopy above, starting with the largest. After that, take every space you can and put something living on it.
That really awesome, I'm glad it works well for you guys!

- limit the maximum zoom for raster tiles layers

- use higher resolution tiles (if they exist @2x or @4x)

- lower the DPI in Layout Settings -> Export settings (it should not impact vector layers)

- user vector tiles

Of course, I didn’t say that, I only said the pro-density utopia sounds super bleak to me.

Anyway, there’s still plenty of space out there and all of the urban people in this thread are talking like they’ve never seen other parts of the country before—there’s still a whole bunch of space between New York and San Fran—it’s not the endless suburbs you seem to be imagining.

Surely it's the countering bit that shows you want to get in to a fight more than the analogy. Analogies are just a way of illustrating a point.
Semantics. If you go to Polymer website, it says this: "The Polymer library is in maintenance mode. For new development, we recommend Lit", and it links to what literally everyone I've seen calls lit-html (because that's how it started).

Why not ? Go binaries don't require a seperate vm/runtime. Theyre faster in some cases and Go has overall simpler to read code than Java.

There's something about the way books about gambling are written that draws me in. One i picked up at a yard sale or thrift store in the 90s, "How to Win At Cards ("21" and Poker), Dice, Races, Roulette" by Mike Goodman (1967) has a similar feel, although Goodman's book could have used an editor to make sure the storytelling went in a straight line.

as an "ok" poker player (Texas hold'em being my favorite), i would host 2 table poker games with $5-$20 buy ins a couple times a month, and I'd generally win. I had clay chips, proper felt, snacks, booze, the works.

What i always found funny, though, is if you quizzed me right now about the ranks of hands i'd probably get it wrong. I don't know the odds of an inside vs an outside straight (although with a regular 4 function calculator i could work it out directly), nor do i know what the exact odds are of any hand, really. In person, most of the time, i can tell if someone's holding or bluffing. I even took my game on the road a few times to hang out with dealers from atlantic city in vegas, toured the "Indian Casinos" like Agua Caliente in California, the river boats in Louisiana. But i don't really understand the game. I just like it. So i would get cleaned out in a hurry in any "real" tournament.

I don't play poker anymore, no one to play with. I haven't been to a casino since late 2019, even though they've been open; but not because of fear of catching something. I saw a picture of what the casino nearest me had done to their craps tables (my preferred casino game when i'm not too lazy to stand up), they went fully digital! Just give me a pair of dice, not some touchscreen shenanigans.

this went long. Oops. I'm gunna find that book and read the rest of it, for sure.
