Frontier may offer 1.5Mbps, but from second-hand experience their speeds are basically just made-up numbers. Had a friend working with the NC AG's office because Frontier sold him 1.5Mbps, he never saw more than 0.3Mbps, their solution was to tell him to upgrade to the 3Mbps plan (?!) and the engineer he talked to told him that the node he was on was so oversubscribed he was lucky he was getting 0.3Mbps.

Which kinda leads into my suggestion--find somewhere that has at least two options for internet if you can. Confirm by calling the companies--they can usually see if they've provided service to that address before and have access to more accurate and up-to-date information than any of the web systems. Then sign up for two connections. You won't really know for sure until you use it whether the speeds are what they're selling, whether it's reliable or is going out every time it rains, etc.

Particularly if your plan involves some sort of WISP, coverage is very location dependent and you don't really know for sure until it's installed and operational whether or not they're going to provide you service. If they show up and start setting gear up and the signal's too bad, they may just pack up and yell "sorry!" out the window as they take off down the driveway.

When I moved I had bog-slow DSL and fixed LTE installed the same day to make sure I'd have internet for work the following Monday. I had to fail over from the LTE to the DSL a few times over the next few months, but it was _generally_ reliable. Once my Starlink order came through I ran three connections for another few months and finally dropped the DSL.

Personally the dual connections is a 100% requirement for me. The internet is how I make money. Missing one day of work because I have no internet would set me back enough to pay for something like 10 months of that shitty DSL. It's not the place I'm taking risks, especially when the cost to mitigate it may be spending $10-30k to have someone run a connection out or _having to sell a house and move_.

Unfortunately they were:

Also suffered greatly at the policies of Romanian fascist and German nazi governments:

https://encyclopedia.ushmm.org/content/en/article/genocide-o...

As a result of that they lived on the fringes of society once “freed”. Basically they were not allowed to own land or property and when “employed” they were “paid” in food and accommodation - another form of slavery. Modern day the situation is improving but literally anywhere in europe they travel they are either marginalised or forced to hide their identity. The issue is deeply rooted. It really is an ongoing tragedy that europeans flat-out fail to acknowledge and repair.

Also, don't use Docker Compose in dev if you use Kubernetes in prod. Just use the same thing everywhere. Otherwise the fact that something works in dev tells you nothing about whether it would work in prod.
>I see this argument made more and more, as all the other arguments against solar are proved beyond doubt to have been total nonsense.

I see this logical fallacy made more and more where people start out by begging the question. No need to prove anything when everyone should just assume you are 100% right on everything!

>...For starters "expensive" rooftop solar costs roughly the same as nuclear, which means it's part of the solution, not the problem.

Tell that to Germany! (or a fair number of the people on this site).

>...Distributed solar (and batteries) are useful to the grid. It simply makes economic sense to share some of the economic benefits with the people doing the work. The homeowner pays the installer, and then gets payed back over time as they deliver energy to the grid for use by their local area.

In places like CA, a consumer installs solar cells, gets the federal tax credit and can then sell their power back to the utility for the retail rate (around 30 cents per KWH). A commercial entity that installs solar cells can maybe sell their power back at 1/10 that rate. In order to subsidize the wealthy home owner, rates for the less wealthy households had to increase. As an example, at the current time, non-solar households in CA pay an estimated extra $115 to $245 per year to cover the subsidies given to their wealthier neighbors. It is estimated that as the number of consumer solar installation increase, that increased cost will grow to between $385 and $550 per year by 2030 for less wealthy households to cover the costs of wealthier households. I can understand why those getting the subsidy like it, but that doesn't make it good public policy.

>So rooftop solar is good.

It is a bit silly to just say something is 'good'. We need to compare it with its alternatives. The direct alternative is ground based solar. Consumer rooftop solar is much more hazardous to the installers and much more expensive - I don't think either of those two statements is in doubt. In order to hide the cost of consumer rooftop solar, there are tax credits and often those who can't afford solar are forced to subsidize the costs for their wealthier neighbors.

>Subsidies to make markets work better are good.

Subsidies to take money from the poor to give to the wealthy are not good public policy. In CA, the PUC proposed lowering the credit paid to solar owners for sending electricity to the grid to 5 cents a KW and the uproar from wealthy people was large enough that the plan was put on hold. The 5 cents is still more than the 3 cents it costs PG&E for nuclear power, but if the change was implemented, "...The manufacturers of solar systems predicted the death of solar in California,". While I can understand that those who benefit from these huge subsidies would prefer they remain, this is not good public policy.
You'll have to forgive me for not taking an insurance company's uncited number at face value.

> Stats estimate that per million miles driven, there are 9.1 self-driving car accidents, whereas there are only 4.1 crashes per million miles driven with human-operated vehicles.

What stats? Where are these stats?

Also the type/severity of accident matters here as well which further muddies the water. All that said I'm not willing to accept the status quo just because the new tech has caused a few deaths (5 according to the link you provided) since the status quo is 30-40K/year [0]. Obviously the important stat is a per-capita-type number that gives us "deaths per car of a given automation level, 0-5".

>If you don't use the same Docker Compose file for Production, don't use it for Development. Your two different systems will diverge in behavior, leading you to troubleshoot two separate sets of problems, and testing being unreliable, defeating the whole "it just runs everywhere" premise.

Anyone ever developing a react project on docker compose would never run a build step for development.

In fact for most setups, I probably wouldn't even run react on docker-compose for development, and just use the dev server straight up on my machine.

Furthermore, working with any python http servers is substantially easier when working with a dev server in development, rather than running your server through gunicorn or other wsgi servers - not to mention the ability to hot reload for development.

I'm sure that there are many other cases where it's necessary and convenient to separate production and development docker compose files.

I don't think it's fair to say that there is no point in having separate docker-compose files as the lion's share of dependencies that need to be consistent is inside each container, not on the docker-compose configuration level.
Is it a weakness to only commit on majority consensus? I'm thinking of a very unstable global network, where partitions are happening everywhere. In that scenario, only one cluster can reach consensus (if you're lucky). If the partitions are such that no cluster has majority, nothing can proceed.

Is there a better way to proceed with tentative consensus, until a majority cluster can be realized, and then have a conflict resolution strategy? People operate this way.
And within 50 years or less with no maintenance, all of those areas would be reclaimed.
> command-line (with pipes)

Most people just wouldn't. You're still free to use imagick or gd if you, yourself, want to, but RemoveBG is a far better choice for most users.

> What if you want to work without internet connections, too?

Then you have to find special tools for that, because it's a less and less common scenario. But the online-only tool is still useful if you're online 99% of your work life anyway.

> local display, GUI, other uses cases, etc.

Yes, absolutely you're right, there will always be cases where tool X doesn't fit edge case Y for user Z. But the web is the "good enough" option for an overwhelming majority of situations, and I'd argue the preferred option over a desktop app for many use cases -- everything from background removal to Google Docs.

Web apps can (and have) replaced email, office tools, encyclopedias, disc drives, etc. because they are so low-barrier, even if they don't have 100% feature parity with the older tools. Simplicity is very attractive, and quite valuable, for people who don't need all the power user features.
If we go ahead and look at the definition of the word, I think it would almost be an automatic label for a Greenpeace leader.
> Assume that you’ll have availability problems with email and engineer with that in mind.

That goes for all dependencies, not just email. And not just third-party dependencies either.

If PyStorm died today, I could carry on in VIM. I could rebuild my entire architecture on DO if AWS sours. If git takes a dump, I have four machines from which I could copy the code and migrate to e.g. mercurial. And if I get hit by a bus, my code is well documented and testable.

Show HN: Hire experts in popular SaaS/no-code tools
Hi HN We have built Heep to help startups take advantage of the best no-code/SaaS tools and increase their ROI on the tools they already are paying for.

It's super simple - we match you with experts in popular tools like Notion, Bubble, Webflow for any kinds of project. So far we had over 200 companies build all kind of staff with makers on Heep - from improving their internal ops with automations (Zapier, Airtable) to building full scale MVPs (Bubble, Glide).

We focus on curating talent and making it easy for anyone to navigate the no-code space. We have messenger and payments built-in inside the platform and adding simple contracts soon.

On the talent side we are allowing you to monetise your expertise in any SaaS/no-code tool and earn $2K+ per month. Right now we have over 300 experts on the platform across 40+ tools.

We are still working on making the experience smooth for customers and the main point of launching here is to get feedback on what could be done better on finding/hiring an expert.

Would love to discuss what do you like/dislike about existing freelance platforms out there.

Old .NET was always ".NET Framework". Microsoft had many years of branding advice early in .NET history that it was never to be called just .NET because their branding teams were using that as a wider initiative that included other things. Most of those other things died or were rebranded and .NET Framework was the last one standing. .NET 5 was the first ever "just .NET", technically from a historical perspective.
As a musician, my interest shifted over time to more complex and less repetitive music. As a result, now a composer for games and picture. It feels like all the musical innovation is happening within scores and almost everything else is bland and formulaic.
Indeed. I make a commitment to read more books this year, and started a reading diary to help me along, and it has worked. My book reading is almost exclusively digital (Kindle, reading also on iPad and iPhone occasionally).

I also have almost entirely gotten off social media, helped by putting specific Twitter users and subreddits into my NewsBin feed, where it's much easier to avoid algorithm influence. I open the apps or websites only if I want to respond or ask a question.
One major advantage of a pickup truck is carrying dirty stuff without getting the inside of an suv dirty. Even a small bed can carry things. Small bed pickup trucks make them easier to park and drive, they must be more efficient too. I would have probably chosen an suv version of the rivian if it was available, but only the pickup truck version was. The SUV style of the Rivian should be more fuel efficient than the truck version. The suv is almost available.
True. This explains maybe the first 5 minutes of the issue. In practice, HR usually leans on Legal for these types of questions. It likely boiled down to “do we want to be sued by a whole team/department because of a bad manager doing unethical thing? Or do we want to get sued by that one manager?” They had to weigh the risk of each since it probably wasn’t clear either way which was the legal thing to do (much like the debates here). They chose wisely in terms of risk and that’s why it came off as “legal’s” choice.
Idk how people do this, its just so boring. I tried tiktok and the first 200-300 scrolls were interesting, but then its just people regurgitating the same comedy/meme. Sure you can find a niche subject you're into like cooking, but most topics do get kind of dry after a while. I do think I'm in a minority though and know quite a few who spend hours a day on tiktok/insta.
I'm pretty sure this is mostly a COVID accelerated thing where we got a few years worth of moving all at once. Wealthier banking folks from NYC realized they can soft-retire a bit early with working remote and save some money on their last couple years taxes while establishing better domicile arguments pre-retirement. I'm curious if we'll see a slowdown in the trend in the next couple years (if indeed we did just see X years of migration moved up thanks to COVID).
German Economy Ministry issues forceful denial of WSJ report on nuclear phaseout
Any decent installer is non-trivial code and you cannot expect unpaid volunteers to write or maintain code that they don’t want to write or maintain.

I don’t see what the size of the distro has to do with it. Regardless of size, if there are users who have the time commitment and knowledge necessary to get commit rights and build and maintain an installer (as there is now), then it will have one. Otherwise it will not.

There’s no user hostility necessary for this sequence of events to happen.
I would rather accept the wisdom of the cruel and inefficient markets, in which literally the whole world has input in some fashion, over the edicts issued by a local board of the well-connected and appointed.
So in theory this can fit pretty well, if you look it as a tool that can scan things at various stages of the development pipeline. As the rulesets are the same this means you can get consistent results when scanning your terraform and then in production against the running resources.

If it works then it can solve a big problem in security scanning which is different tools applying different rules, which causes frustration as it reduces the risk of "it passed in dev, why is is failing in prod"

I used https://www.hammerspoon.org/ to write custom keyboard shortcuts for switching between specific applications. I don't have it anymore, but it didn't take too much perusing the docs to find a way to bind a keyboard command to look for a specific window, focus it if it was found, or open the application if it wasn't. SO much better than cmd+tab/backtick or mission control.
> Everything must be green, non-fossil and no nuclear in 2025.

No matter where you stand on nuclear in general, you have to see the benefit of keeping existing plants operational from both a geopolitical and carbon emission perspective, no? As a mostly pro-nuclear person, I can still empathize with people who believe in a long term phase-out. I am however genuinely baffled that there is a large portion of environmentalists who refuse to even give an inch to the argument that the timing of doing so now is incredibly problematic.

I can recommend the book Burn by Herman Pontzer on this:

The human body can adjust the Basal Metabolic Resting Rate quite a lot in the face of exercise. Spending an extra 500 kcals on exercise can easily only lead to 200 kcals higher total energy expenditure. The body apparently will for instance reduce sex drive and immune functions when under regular exercise. So to achieve weight loss exercise alone is a very hard path unless diet is also modified.

On the other hand it has been shown that dieting alone without exercise also makes it very hard to maintain a lower weight because for instance exercise seems to curb feelings of hunger.

So yes: human bodies definitely are complex adaptable machines. CICO alone doesn't cut it.
80/20 rule here.

If you focus on eating whole foods (instead of focusing on calories), you're more likely to consume fewer calories simply because whole foods are less calorie dense than packaged/processed foods. Plus you'll be getting less sugar and salt (although salt's harm is up for debate).

It's also likely that the body behaves differently depending on the quality of food consumed. Consuming less than 2000 calories of processed food may cause the body to operate less efficiently for any number of reasons (not the least of which involves your gut bacterial balance). So the end result might be less weight loss than a 2200 "whole food" diet would result in.

People are busy in modern times. Perfecting and managing a diet is hard work, so "hacks" like just choosing whole foods are a pretty great way to make positive progress.

But Linux does run 16-bit code natively, even on x86_64, via modify_ldt(). The kernel support is straightforward, and the user side is actively supported by DOSEMU2.

Sadly, there was a serious design error in the original x86_64 support for i387 floating point, and it was never possible for a 64-bit kernel to correctly context switch some of the more obscure legacy floating point exception state. Rather than fixing it, both AMD and Intel nerfed the hardware support, and new CPUs no longer fully support this state. This makes some older 16-bit software work poorly.
This kind of competition is good. It is a luxury for Americans to be able to see competition between massive states that resemble economies of many small nations.

Not only wealthy Americans, but Florida has been seeing regular middle class influx as well, out of all, from California. IMO, from what I can tell, Florida has better policies that will be conducive to higher quality of life and ease of business in the future. It is improving at a rapid rate.

As someone who lives in California, we have some homework to do across many areas. I'd want California to improve and become more competitive, especially in terms of regulations, crime and QoL. It is such a beautiful state. One can quote current statistics of this or that, but it is the rate of improvement/degeneration that's important. Instead, we spend too much time defending what's not working.

I avoid reinstalls as well and one of my systems hasn't had a reinstall since Fedora Core 4. This system actually started on Red Hat Linux 8 (the precursor to Fedora, not RHEL).

I have upgraded literally every component multiple times so it's a Ship of Theseus.
