I recently discovered PocketSmith[0] which is not free nor open-source, but I have found it to be the easiest to keep up to date. It automatically pulls transactions from most banks and credit providers, which I've been unable to replicate with other solutions.

> I'm just observing the common framing of these two issues and the contradiction therein.

You are just stating the left-wing version of the common and tired right-wing "but protesters were spreading covid, despite caring about covid" trope.

Exact same type of a "i just observed an interesting contradiction" statement, just a different theme/reason used as a justification for the dismissal.

Both are rather pointless, as they bring nothing valuable to the discussion and just derail the conversation into a flamewar on those topics used in the "observations", rather than the actual topic at hand. Seen it way too many times in covid-related threads last year on HN.

It's great you disclosed this information, and you wrote an excellent article imo.

I hope it's fair to say that you work for a direct competitor to Heroku, and that the intention of the article is to share how you've learned from the parts of Heroku that people loved and are working to build on these ideas in the work you're doing (which is great!). I'd prefer knowing that the article is written by a competitor at the start versus casually towards the end.

I hope I didn't offend you by my comment! :)
If I would choose another language it would be Rust. Why I did not choose Rust?

1. I speak fluently C++ and learning Rust would take me years.
2. Foodchain of libraries that I am intimately fimiliar with in C++ and I am not familiar with in Rust. Take Rust Tokyo, for example. This is the de facto standard for how to build I/O backends. However if you benchmark Tokyo's min-redis with memtier_benchmark you will see it has much lower throughput than helio and much higher latency. (At least this is what I observed a year ago). Tokyo is a combination of myriad design decisions that authors of the framework had to do to serve tha mainstream of use-cases. helio is opinionated. DF is opinionated. Shared-nothing architecture is not for everyone. But if you master it - it's invincible.

>I expect that people will still write software because it needed and pays well.

Both "it's needed" and "pays well" are the case now - not necessarily the case at that point. So they can't be used as arguments that people "will still write software" (it would be taking for granted what must be proven).
I live in West Los Angeles and have been by this encampment, as well as many others throughout West LA. The article portrays the encampment as some sort of "community" where people who have made a few bad decisions or caught a few bad breaks have come to "get back on their feet".

The reality is this encampment, like many others, is pretty close to hell on earth. It's a site of abject misery, squalor, and violence. People regularly get stabbed, beaten, and raped there. The people in the camp set fires, scream wildly at all hours of the day and night, fight with the fire department, consume hard drugs openly (i.e. meth and fentanyl), and destroy the surrounding environment with an astounding amount of trash and human waste. The park they occupy as well as the nearby library are now unusable by the general public.
The temperature and co2 levels have been much higher in the past. The earth has been much more tropical as well as an ice world. Humans can adapt to change quite effectively - we did invent air conditioning, as well as the land of The Netherlands which is reclaimed and existing beneath sea level.

What is the greatest tragedy is how much worry and anxiety climate change causes. The earth is not a thinking thing - “Mother Nature” is not a being. The planet will exist and doesn’t care about humans. A century after the last human lives nature will swallow up almost everything we built. Earth exists for humans because we live here and make it so. We will adapt to whatever climate exists.
Does anyone else not care about cold takes like this? Even if you know something is going to crash, the important bit is knowing when. Guess what, Google, Facebook, and Netflix aren’t going to be around in a trillion years. Shocking, I know.

as someone who repairs things for myself and others its really hard to explain some of these failures as anything other than planned obsolescence. board-mounted fuses. sacrificial plastic gears in the drivetrain. chillers with the filler tube folded over and brazed.

the most charitable explanation is cost reduction. but $0.05 savings on a $500 retail item isn't helping anyone if it means my mixer lasts 1 year instead of 20 like the ones they used to make.
It is quite a NIMBY issue when someone like PP wants encampments but not in their backyard
One of the common features of the ideas I mention is that they often garner an aggressive response, as people rightly dislike the idea that they’re enthralled by storytelling - but yet we are - it’s how we explain everything from the universe to other people, and likely originated with nascent theory of mind, sociality — lying.

So within us is the ability to sculpt narrative, to essentially deceive through attention manipulation or information selection, and also the response to that deception (anger, denial, pushback) - as they’re cultural ying and yang, the immune response and the illness.

It drives war when opposing stories clash, so great is the response that the wrong story, of which the story of stories is absolutely one, can evoke.

Anyway. I expect to be disagreed with. I may well be wrong and suffering under my own illusions - but my lived experience is that a good story is everything human.
As much as I have always had zero faith in Tether since the beginning I've also been reading about how it's going to blow up for about just as long. Here is an article from 5 years ago https://hackernoon.com/what-will-happen-when-the-shit-hits-t...

It is, but it means engineering your formulations carefully before giving them to the computer. Computers taking things literally isn't new, but there's normally less on the line when we do it.

Also I would imagine that as often as not there would be an opportunity for human judgement. Maybe there's a _much_ cheaper one at 3.98 stars, or the 4+ star and next day delivery options are 3x more expensive than the next available option. In both of these cases a human with the right intentions would likely stop and do something different.

Whenever I see discussions of the unhoused brought up online poop is frequently mentioned (and often called a hazard or biohazard). I just find that this is ironic given the gnashing of teeth that happened over mask and vaccine mandates over the past 2 years. That's why I focused on the biohazard aspect - it seems as though we as a society have decided we're ok with endangering each other with airborne viruses, why the double standard for the unhoused?

I think your other points are, overall, stronger.

Watch out, because even this self-pitying blog post manages to find time to reach out and troll the Rust community.

Internet troll gets back internet hate is not exactly unexpected right? And we all know Drew says some trollish things sometimes. I don't think the way that some handle it and him is anywhere near correct, but Drew might consider the way he presents himself isn't always conducive to good faith disagreement.

this article has bought into a lot of narratives of doomsaying and the "real" causes of it. It complains about coal consumption in India and China, conveniently linked to a reuters article.

> With China and India not even starting the process of coal draw-down yet...

It is fine to assume the Global South is trending towards further coal usage. Maybe the developed world can help them transition to something sustainable like nuclear power.

There has to be an element of truth in Michael Moore's extreme Planet of the Humans.

At least Amazon's Eating our way to Extinction [1] makes a convincing argument against deforestation and meat consumption trends. But the West is continuing to sell the global south a lifestyle (foreign to them) of extreme meat eating, among other unsustainable consumption lifestyle.

Just yesterday I was telling a friend about Sway, and then about Drew and all of his other projects I use and love. To me he is no less than legend developer with ethics that don't just show in his words, but in his code. We need more people like Drew.
Raise your hand if you would be willing to lower your standard of living, voluntarily, in order to stave off global warming. Sell your car. Stop buying anything made with plastic. Stop using electricity.

According to a cursory search "More than 66,400 people were experiencing homelessness in Los Angeles County at the start of 2020". From that population it doesn't seem too hard to cherrypick 1000 interesting/sympathetic people to interview. Without at least an affirmative statement from them (ie. "we randomly pick interviewees and publish every interview that we conduct") it's hard to be sure.
You cannot talk me or GP out of disgust. Once you see an obviously insane person sitting in a puddle of their own pee, on the front step of a recently closed shop you used to go to, you see the problem as a problem.

There are only so many times you can step over a potentially dead person on a running trail. Only to have them get up and run away when you look closely even from a distance.

There's only so many times you can watch a huge person crawl out from the canals and start following people around the neighborhood before you consider moving your wife and kids away forever. Don't get me started on the actual assaults and threats that he's made.

Or how about the guy who was standing beside my car with a can of gas, just looking at it swaying back and forth when we were leaving the beach. Where do my kids go when I go confront him and try to retrieve our ride?

How many times can you shrug off a break in to the mail room where all the mail is just ransacked.

That's only a couple years.

You can have empathy in abstract. But when you're in the middle of it, the 99% sob stories don't matter, the lack of public safety does. And what's most infuriating is that it's not a 'place'. these problems drift like garbage on waves, collecting in random locations, esp 'safe' neighborhoods, until they are scattered away again, usually not by police because God forbid they risk actual protests from people who don't live in the affected area. (see echo Park protests).
Not everyone is just trying to trade and ride waves for profit, a lot of people are just putting their life savings in crypto and holding. They should understand the tether risk before doing so.

Imo it was still an overloud minority with problems. Online complaining was totally single-issue, with few of these agents able to also sing the virtues, which were many & immense. Pavucontrol was and is unparralelled in the world. Last, the bitterness never quelled. There's still a vocal minority of Pylse haters. But they now know they'll get shut down & taken to the cleaner. It's also well known that Pulse wasnt even to blame for a vast vast number of the issues- device driver bugs had to be filed & the kernel had to actually start working as advertised. Yes it's a hard experience having tbings not work. But to enforce strict conservatism, to be so resistant & dissentful of progress: it's treasonous what these people do, it's treasonous to so lopsidedly spread only the bad, so loudly & peristently. Even when it was a problem. That it has taken well over a decade of enduring the griefing, that's ignoble & unconscionable.

I think there definitely is some tugging towards perfection that has to happen, sure. Some of it is users lives getting better. But I also think there's a huge resistance to change rooted in the human heart, & some people will drag us all down for a vrry long time over anything that doesnt meet their bias, anything remotely uncomfortable, they'll refuse to see good, or they just have negative biases anyways, have already drank enough of the haterade, become witting or unwitting parts of the shouting class mob.

No way it blows up. Too many people have a vested interest in keeping it alive. Tether probably could have blown up years ago. At this point, there are definitely unseen and unknown backers who would prevent it.

Fascinating (if biased) history on Keynesian economics for the layperson. Certainly _feels_ relevent to the post-COVID economy though I'm not too sure on the "bitcoin will fix everything" conclusion. Malthusianism and eugenics aren't a good look for Keynes especially in light of his affinity for wealth division and central planning.
I happily pay for sourcehut, not only but also because sourcehut aligns so much with the software world I am hoping to see more of.

Imagine just 10% of the revenue involving software globally would go into supporting all excellent open source projects that millions of people depend on on a daily basis. What a beautiful world that could be.
I have to admit I feel the same way.

For instance business people are drawn to products aimed at solving the "integration" problem between different enterprise products like a moth to a flame.

What's ironic is that the "integration problem" is much less of a problem than developing user interfaces or database application. From the viewpoint of a coder an "integration problem" is often ten lines of Python which can be completed in less time than it takes to wait for a salesperson to pick up the phone or that you could spend waiting for the documentation of an integration framework to load in your web browser. You generally avoid the devilish data modeling problems that turn up in applications work.

> ... while in VSCode for example the file is opened immediately and things like LSP and syntax highlighting are loaded in the background.

I'm not saying you're not experiencing what you're describing but I find that weird because I use Emacs with LSP and the system is responsive while LSP loads up. And I'm using lsp-mode, not Eglot (I should really try Eglot). I mostly use it for Clojure: I'm using both Cider and lsp-mode and they work fine together. And as soon as I open any Clojure source file, I can keep using Emacs while LSP starts (which is not that slow btw: only about three seconds I'd say). LSP is one of those things that runs in another process, so it's one of those case, for me at least, where Emacs acts like if it was multithreaded. I haven't seen this lock up / freeze while waiting for some LSP server answer.

For example I'll typically open a Cojure file, lsp-mode shall begin loading automatically and then I manually launch Cider: everything happens "simultaneously" and I'm not blocked.

I'll play more attention with other LSP servers (like the CSS one) but nothing strikes me as slow or frozen.

If there's one thing I could complain about is that when I'm busy doing other things (because my Emacs ain't blocked), I see spurious LSP messages telling me where it's at kinda distracting me.

Now I take you're using a native-comp Emacs? And a fast JSON parsing lib?

Emacs 28, native comp, lsp-mode, AMD 3700X, NVMe SSD, 16 GB of RAM. A good machine but nothing crazy fast.

One of the major problems is that inexpensive housing is illegal.

India has slums, and Brazil has favelas. They aren't good but they are better than the street. US used to have rooming houses. Now, if you cant afford an apartment, and can't get an expensive one gifted from the state, you have to live in the street. (Not in your car; that's usually illegal too.)
