A lot of people here seem to take the "Bitcoin has no intrinsic value and therefore is worthless" line.

I don't hold any bitcoin and I don't feel strongly either way. But this piece by Lyn Alden provides some good insights into situations where Bitcoin might be valuable and why it may well have a strong future. Particularly compared to other, less widely-held cryptocurrencies:

I think Heroku's aggressive pricing is the main driver behind making them obsolete. I honestly cannot believe Salesforce is so short-sighted with Heroku. Their approach is "Milk it as much as we can until everyone just abandons it for cheaper solutions/clones".

Had they become more competitive in terms of pricing, a large, large chunk of companies would've used them rather than moving to solutions like Kube, etc, or a bunch of Heroku clones which are now taking off as it's being considered a "Sinking Ship".

Just see this:

https://blog.porter.run/why-companies-move-off-heroku/

The reasons they are suggesting [that companies leave Heroku for] (besides the costs) are a bunch of non-reasons and small nuisances. The main reason is the cost, and the cost issue will become bigger and bigger of an issue as competing solutions get cheaper and cheaper, until Heroku is completely sunk and abandoned.

We are still using Heroku and I really hope they would fix the pricing before we bite the bullet and just spend a couple of weeks moving to a cheaper alternative. There's no vendor lock in on 12 Factor Apps you see.

Summarizing your request from comments, you're looking to improve what I'd call your random recall of unstudied things.

That's something I'm naturally pretty good at (which is a blessing and a curse), so I don't really know how to help you, but I can confirm it gets a lot harder when my exposure to the thing to recall was when I was tired, or not eating well, and regular excercise helps with mental tasks in many ways; distractions usually don't help, but the distractions may be memorable, so there's that.

I think this can probably be somewhat trained. Reading books and taking quizzes about the books could be a way, but if you study the book instead of read it, you're practicing studying, not whatever this unstudied recall is. You could try taking the quizzes immediately after, until you get good, then try to increase the time between exposure and recall. There's some amount of content where you watch a film clip and then they ask you about details, but those are usually trying to trick you/are more about attracting your attention to one thing so you ignore something else.

Okay, but don't most people who like Land Value Tax want property taxes to go up, overall? As in, governments will collect more revenue?

It's difficult to see how all the radical changes they promise would happen if property tax rates were lowered on average. That would tend to let people keep owning the property they have.

Someone owns that open space land. It cannot be developed unless one buys out the owners like San Francisco Water District (most of the open space visible on 280 for a long stretch is Crystal Springs Reservoir and the drainage into it even though a lot of the water comes from far away like Hetchy Hetch.) or the Mid Peninsula Open Space District or Santa Clara Water District (several large reservoirs and the drainage into them are only for recharging the underwater aquifers - if one builds over it, the reservoirs do not recharge and subsidence will be much worse like the Central Valley) or park land. The NIMBYism is people preventing high density development in places like Palo Alto.

That is just not true.

1 - This helps parallelize regular python code too, like the kind that goes into writing web services.

2 - While you'd still write native extensions to get optimum performance for single threaded code, having the thread dispatch layer in python makes parallelizing execution convenient and robust. For example, see the comment from people who maintain scikit-learn below. I'd love to see python get composable task parallelism like Julia where you can freely spawn threads within threads without worrying about their lifetimes.

npm link creates symlinks, and this is not supported by the Metro bundled used in React Native, so this could be a way to help there for example.
I think it would be immoral for land property rights to operate in the way you want them to. Property rights for copyright, tractors, land, etc all work differently so there's no obvious "most ethical" way to manage property rights. This legal property rights are usually different for good reasons. The Real Estate rights bundle, for example, is a kind of monopoly. I think it's ethical that that bundle of rights should come with an obligation to pay a kind of rent to society for that monopoly for the same reason that the right to own a slice of radio frequency spectrum comes with a rent to society. A good method for determining the relative size of that rent (in both cases) is based on its market value (ie in proportion to the value that other members of society place on that monopoly).

IMO looking at it as want to be somewhere is a bit simplistic. Ultimately there are that many people in pricey places because they are working jobs that can support them there. Sure half of boston can go to detroit and find lower prices, but will there be jobs available to them in detroit? and once there are jobs available to them at this talent level (given the high professional degrees per capita in boston), who is to say prices don't also rise in response if detroit fails to build housing in response to the increase in population driven by this job growth? Building housing in desirable areas is not to just keep piling people there, its to house labor where the growing economic activity is in demand for housing for labor.
Nice to see you here, I feel in love for WT and I can't live without it! Keep going the great work!

The bits that implement the userland graphics libraries are closed source, unlike Mesa. So this is still useless, but don't get me wrong... I'll take it, but I'm still going to bitch about it. My hope is now folks will be able to adapt these Nvidia cards into the Mesa ecosystem, like ~10 years from now or whatever.
They have, informally. There is a huge demographic of people in every major city who have never/rarely signed a lease, but simply sublet a room from an official lease-holder, often against the actual terms of the lease.

These people generally tend to file taxes as individual households, despite all sharing what is statistically a single unit of housing. I wonder how this plays with the data in the article.

Come on. Read what Von Neumann could do since a young age. He memorized eight volumes of the most comprehensive History of the World textbook of the time. He remembered every date, every name, every place and the page where they appeared. If I remember correctly, while doing his Math PhD he took an interest in Chemical Engineering and studied the whole degree in two weeks. Very smart but normal people take 4-6 years to do the same.
I don't know you, but I find the denial of inborn talent very cruel: "See, the reason you can't understand fraction in 11th grade is because you haven't worked hard enough otherwise you would be von Neumann". As someone who started tutoring younger people in the last year of high school I've found plenty of lazy smart who need a push and plenty of stupid hard workers who suffered while unable to understand the material.

> It's also worth noting that H1Bs have different reentry permissions based on your country of origin. IIRC a mainland Chinese born coworker told me he could only renenter the US on his H1B for the first year of each 3 year H1B.

There isn't a separate re-entry restriction, it's just the expiry date of the visa stamp in the passport.

For Chinese nationals, US consulates only issued visa stamps valid for 1 year. I am not sure if this is still the case.

This would be a non-issue if visa stamps could be issued within the country (like basically every other country on earth), and in fact the US did issue stamps internally in the old days, but after 9/11 they changed it so only foreign diplomats and officials of UN, NATO etc can get visa stamps here.

This is fascinating; I (well, with some support from my advisor IIRC!) implemented some things like this in latex for my thesis, but it was very limited. It still did help me keep track of all the variables and letters.

I'm curious why not do this in MDX instead? Would that have been possible? It seems like it might be a good base that can then interact with other things (e.g. I'd love to just use this in https://motif.land).
People move to where they get hired and these coastal cities have a lot of demand for labor. If there were larger job markets in nashville or cleveland there would be larger populations. Cleveland in particular you can trace the population decline with the loss of manufacturing jobs from the downtown area and the increase of jobs in the exurbs.
Happy to, although I wish I had used the word "define".

Let's say that you wake up one day obsessed with the idea that since GitHub made programming better, a GitHub for datasets is definitely something that data people want and need. Of course, they just don't know it, yet.

After you get together with your cofounders and decide that you're really going to quit your jobs and do the startup thing... this is when you should define what success looks like and what failure looks like, and start the clock.

You might say that your first success milestone could be 25 paying customers in three months. Maybe that's a lot, maybe that's too little. 25 is more than 0 and less than 100. You want to set a target that will make you sweat a bit, but not be impossible. A set of conditions where you can go to whoever gave you seed capital and say, look: It's working!

You might say that your failure milestone would be not getting 1 customer in the first month, after you put together a cool presentation or demo video. It might be that you only get 80 users signed up, and only 2 of those users ever engaged beyond the first screen. It could be that after three months, <1% of your beta users transitioned to a paid plan - even though that plan is discounted 60% for the first two years.

And then stick to those criteria and those dates. Don't move the goalposts more than once. Give yourself a bit of slack if you didn't calibrate well out of the gate, but cut that shit out if you find yourself self-funding an idea that has failed to find even a humble audience of true believers who are willing to pay for it and tell their friends without you having to ask. There's a term for this: putting good money after bad.

HTH
Agreed. I think dislikes are so important for tutorial / seminar / presentation videos in sieving out the good from the bad. The part about positive comments being upranked is also adversarial for learning.
As someone non-technical, Heroku is what helped me launch my first production site. It was really like magic when I discovered it existed, because I was intimidated by AWS. It's sad reading accounts from employees, seemed like a great place with great product.

Hopefully, competitors can match them, what I've read is that they are a bit less mature than them. I actually still have a production site, will need to move off soon.
> It means that the right to own guns is in the context of a regulated militia.

Ok this is already an oddity. There's no second such right. I mean, the right for religious freedom does not require you to join a regulated religion (even if many do join organized religions). The right for free speech does not require you to be a journalist. The right for speedy trial does not require you to join a speedy trial club and pass regular legal training. And so on. This is what I'd call odd. But there's more.

> Obvious regulations that a militia might want to have are minimum age requirements, training requirements, equipment safety requirements (such as requiring owners to store and transport their guns safely and perform regular maintenance).

OK let's assume so. Note that most gun regulations in anti-gun states and cities have little to do with this - but let's assume that's what ACLU wants.

> For instance, the ACLU's position is that laws which restrict the types of weapons or ammunitions which can be owned generally do not infringe on civil liberties

How this follows? How "you can not own a gun with certain feature" fits with the above? Does this feature prevent training, or is particularly unsafe, or preclude safe transportation and storage? Not at the least. So how does it fit in this concept? It comes to the comical, that two models of the same gun, with small cosmetic change, may one be legal and another illegal in certain states (OK, let's not be coy, in California) - can anybody seriously argue that's because one can be used in militia and another can't? That's beyond odd, that makes no sense. I mean if we talked about guns that somehow useless to militia (don't know, let's assume you found an argument that specific type of a gun is so peculiar that no militia would ever have a reason to use it) - ok, I'm willing to accept that makes sense in that framework. But that's not how the regulations that ACLU supports and endorses work!

> while laws which restrict categories of people from owning guns often do infringe on civil rights

Again, how does it work? You named age restriction yourself. Isn't it "category of people"? But let's say we talk about people who are violently insane, or that are career felons, maybe violent gangsters who were imprisoned for many years for their crimes. You don't want such guys in your militia, probably, right? If you have them there, they'd probably loot everything instead of defending the fellow citizens, maybe? Yet it's absolutely "category of people". Let's take mental disabilities - of course, there is a whole gamut of disabilities, but in general you'd want your militia to be mentally stable, right? So how does it work? It looks again that the position does not even have internal consistency, that's even before anybody would start to attack it on merits of its principles! Again, that's a very odd position to hold.
Wordpress style makes no sense from a programming point of view. For example you render with php and then you have some jquery that gives interaction.

If a class name is changed, the js is broken. Needs to be manually in sync between php and jquery.

Then comes the css that’s all nested and global which means you can’t delete css without breaking the style.

With react and css in js all this is fixed. Basically you write a component that has html js and css in the same file. You know exactly what changes what. If you use typescript you also have another layer of safety as you know the shape of your data.

That’s why we’re working on a cms that allows you to have a super stable website.

In addition to that, all articles are saved as json, and can be styled and analysed in many ways.

Other features in contrast to wordpress:

- real time collaboration like Google docs (can’t be done with php)

- linting for text (this idea is from linters for code, but can be applied to text too)

> I wonder if we'll ever really have something like that on top of Nix or NixOS.

Xe, go do it! (:

In all seriousness, Fly.io has explored this path (and very well may pursue it depending on RoI of going down this route, I'd imagine): https://github.com/superfly/recco

Even though I'd like Fly.io to be more like Heroku, it is railway.app that comes the closest (but I believe they use buildpacks like Fly.io does rather than Nix/NixOS).

Speaking of Nix, shout out to replit (https://blog.replit.com/nix) for having a holistic view of the product and it is unlike anything I've ever seen before. And unsurprisingly, most junior developers that I interact with, prefer replit over other alternatives.

Heroku may be dead, but an entire range of upstarts have risen up in its wake: https://www.swyx.io/cloud-distros
> Now modern data eng/warehouse stacks on the other hand, those are money fires

No but I totally need a 100k+ contract (plus extra for runtime costs) to do…database stuff that…uhh, no other column based database is uhh, totally capable. Yeah. /s

Also we totally gotta buy these other data tools, because all of our “data” people refuse to learn even basic code, and can only write sprawling notebooks.

Oh plus gotta pay for some databricks/dbt to run my sprawling notebooks on huge machines because our Python based runtime is single threaded, can’t utilise the full CPU properly and requires silly amounts of memory, but it’s ok because “developer velocity” let us put an incomprehensible notebook into production a whole 15 seconds faster.
As you both seem to disagree about the actual text (though, in truth, probably agree as "sex" and "sexual orientation" are sometimes synonyms), I had to look it up. From [1], a summary:

> Parental Rights in Education; Requires district school boards to adopt procedures that comport with certain provisions of law for notifying student's parent of specified information; requires such procedures to reinforce fundamental right of parents to make decisions regarding upbringing & control of their children; prohibits school district from adopting procedures or student support forms that prohibit school district personnel from notifying parent about specified information or that encourage student to withhold from parent such information; prohibits school district personnel from discouraging or prohibiting parental notification & involvement in critical decisions affecting student's mental, emotional, or physical well-being; prohibits classroom discussion about sexual orientation or gender identity in certain grade levels; requires school districts to notify parents of healthcare services; authorizes parent to bring action against school district to obtain declaratory judgment; provides for additional award of injunctive relief, damages, & reasonable attorney fees & court costs to certain parents.

The line being discussed here is prohibits classroom discussion about sexual orientation or gender identity in certain grade levels. The relevant part of the full text linked (in a pdf named PDF.pdf, which made me chuckle) is:

> 3. Classroom instruction by school personnel or third parties on sexual orientation or gender identity may not occur in kindergarten through grade 3 or in a manner that is not age-appropriate or developmentally appropriate for students in accordance with state standards.

That's as far as it goes, and the definitions of what is "age-appropriate" or "developmentally appropriate", among other things, are not given. Hence, it appears to me, that any claims as to what it really means, by either side of this debate (or either of the fringe elements, as the majority in the middle appear to for these rules[2], however vague) are unable to be substantiated either way.

I suggest everyone calms down until the actual details come to light.
