Don't forget Mt. Hood. The Sandy River is named as such because of a lahar from a decade prior.

Eruption-related lahars and sedimentation response downstream of Mount Hood: Field guide to volcaniclastic deposits along
the Sandy River, Oregon -- https://volcanoes.usgs.gov/vsc/file_mngr/file-59/Pierson%20e...

> The Sandy River was originally named the Quicksand River by Lewis and Clark in 1805 (Moulton and Dunlay, 1990). Expedition members noted that the river (a) was ~275 m wide at its mouth and for several kilometers upstream on the delta (30-150 m wide there today); (b) had a number of mid Channel Islands; and (c) had flow which was turbid and very shallow (resembling the Platte River in Nebraska, they noted). It was given its name because "the bed of this stream is formed entirely of quick sand."

> What happened? The answer lay 50 miles away at Mount Hood. An eruption in the 1790's caused a tremendous amount of volcanic rock and sand to enter the Sandy River drainage. That sediment was still being flushed downstream when Lewis and Clark saw and named the river. Since 1806, the river has removed the excess sediment from its channel.
> In a world where limited access to home ownership continues to be a driving force behind inequality and anxiety, giving renters a sense of security, community, and genuine ownership has transformative power for our society.

To paraphrase, "we will continue hurling investment money into residential real estate to create a permanent serfdom of renters."
The domain industry is somewhat split between two very different kind of markets. One is where registries like godaddy will put the fee to be about as close to the cost of the upstream registry, where the profit is generated by other services and ties in. The moment a customer send in a support ticket, or worse, call support, then that customer is costing them more than any generated profits. Google and Facebook are likely earning more profit per "free" user than godaddy get from a domain name.

The other market is generally focused on brand protection and domain portfolios, through they tend to be open to private customers as long they are willing to pay the general much higher price. The margin here means that they want to keep their customers, and good support and proactive relation is an effective way to engaged with customers rather than being a pure cost center.

My general recommendation is to use the cheapest one when holding domain names for future projects, and use the second one for anything which would cost you a lot of money and time if things goes south or the registrar do something stupid like in this case.

(disclaimer/context, I work at a small local registrar and I regular hear about this kind of events)

What are some other reasons?
I know this is a thing because every time I register a domain or renew a LetsEncrypt cert, I get very specific bot patterns, but I don't know what API's people are using. I assume the cert transparency logs would be one place. Perhaps these API's could use some added friction and protection.

If your router+ap supports OpenWRT you can reflash and have best of breed QoS up and running in a few clicks via the Luci web interface that IMO is vastly superior to the goofy web UIs that come on SOHO routers.

Bonus is OpenWRT also seems to be much more stable than manufacturer hardware as long as your hardware is well supported. Plus you don't have to worry about your manufacturer no longer supporting firmware on your model and OpenWRT is much faster to respond to the occasional security issue, etc.

OpenWRT has gotten some flak over the years by leaving devices behind when they no longer have enough flash and/or RAM. That said OpenWRT is likely going to support your hardware longer than the manufacturer will.

I mean the books in the basement, are they books you would suggest to someone to read, give to a partner, child, or friend? This is one of the values I have in a library of books many of which myself I'll likely never read again. Giving the right one to the right person.
Been using for 6+ years now. Around ~10 APs purchased. I've never looked back.

I think the mixed reviews are from HN where people are complaining about their security posture (for good reason).
Social "Ladder" is the wrong metaphor. We live in a mesh without a specifically defined ordering of nodes.

This is also my experience. Hetzner specifically never did this to me but several years ago I pulled all my server and web stuff permanently out of Germany due to this kind of behavior.

(At the time I tried discussing the subject on webhostingtalk, but they sided with the business.)
Agreed. I've been using Gandi as my domain registrar of choice for years now. No complaints.
What about patents? Surely if Amazon can patent a one-click shopping experience than game companies could manage to patent much more complex systems? Then again if they could then some of them probably would have by now.
might be helpful for beginners. after learning Japanese for a while I've developed some "tastes" (I don't know how to put it). reading the sample explanations on your website, writing Japanese vocabulary in romaji feels wrong. I'd go for having it in hiragana for simplicity (bunsetsu jars...)
I don't know how useful the -kanji situated in english context- would be. in my experience having the Japanese context is way better to learn kanji, once one has learned enough vocabulary.
The kanji origin story (with the proto-kanji, chinese writing, etc) might be better for advanced courses (is it available for all kanji on your book?)
I'd try to avoid having native language "crutches" as much as possible.
Well not scientific but it is certainly telling. The kind of people who brag about being members of mensa happen to be involved with questionable and often predictable subreddits.

I have personally met people who are members of mensa. It's virtually all they can talk about. In my experience, it's simply a cudgel they use to get "lesser intelligent" people to comply with whatever nonsense they are saying. This lead me to the conclusion a long time ago that mensa is the place smart people go to stop working.
Or: everything I don't like is either socialism or communism.

This comment makes me feel seen.
GoDaddy isn’t great but they send multiple emails for domain renewals. I have a hard time believing they only sent one email in this case.
TikTok now offers a basic text-to-image AI generator directly in the app
My rule is pretty basic: I don't keep more books than I can carry in a backpack. In practice this translates to just a few cherished books. Everything else I borrow read and return, or buy read then pass it on.
When that article was written, it was 29.6 percent past the average cycle time. Now it is more than 32 percent past. Time just keeps on marching forward. I didn't see any mention of what the distribution of intervals is, but 32 percent past average seems a lot even for a long-tailed distribution.
I use the following definition in my .profile to be able to replace foo with bar in all text files within a folder.

I’ve never used TRPC but curious to learn more about the slowdown. Is that a slowdown with Typescript or a runtime thing?
Several decades ago (last time I took an IQ test), I had an IQ at the lower end discussed here. I am not in Mensa. I am of the opinion that I do not have any mental illnesses. And yet, I am of the opinion that statements like "everybody knows Mensans are dorks and this is a club for underachievers", subtract considerably from the persuasiveness of the article. Not that I doubt it's basic thesis that Mensa is not a random or unbiased sample of the population in question, but these are after all people who went out and joined a social club. Not necessarily the worst signifier of mental illness.
> It's sad that my family uses the available Bluetooth devices less than if there was a wire we could just plug into.

I specifically buy wired gaming headphones, wired mice and wired keyboards - if there is any sensible wired option I'll take it every time, I even have an extra long network cable I can throw across the living room for the laptop.

Wireless stuff is just less reliable and always seems to throw issues when you really need it to work.
Oh gosh, that made me soo nostalgic - I did such mono .sh file to boost my system setup couple years ago as elementaryOS at the time was not supporting updates and I had to do a clean install when new release was published: https://github.com/mrmnmly/linux-installation-script/blob/ma...

When I read it today I miss those soo oversimplified solutions to do stuff :'-)
I’ve seen the analysis paralysis happen as well, but I think the key is to also assign likelihoods/severities upside downside to the analysis, you can usually quickly triage what to focus on from there (or as I often find the nice you’ve bounded the range of likely outcomes, pick the one one that fits your risk tolerance (e.g. do I take the train for an almost guaranteed 3hr trip, or do I try and outsmart the traffic and either be right and have a 2hr trip, or be wrong and have a 4hr trip)
I understand it was the replacement card, which Amazon automatically got added to the other person's account.

Again, this is why I want all my transactions to be authorised through my bank, and not through any other site.
The higher end "smart" models tend to use proprietary thermostats so you can't use your Nest/Ecobee. Kind of annoying ... I just replaced an old system with a Trane XR15 heat pump with aux heat incl. new air handler ($6K all in, incl. install and permits) but want to stick with Nest because I'm already invested in that ecosystem.

Too bad there isn't a common standards based protocol (e.g. something like MODBUS) for interfacing across climate control devices ... instead of either the std. 6 conductor 24v thermostat wire or a proprietary interface as I don't think this supports features such as variable speed fans on the air handlers.
It wouldn't be pasture if it were covered in solar panels. Isn't that what the article is saying, place solar panels sparse enough that you get pasture and panels.

Personally I think they should be put to sea. Along with floating farmland. Just make concrete (or seacrete!) pontoons, connected together into 1000 km^2 islands. Leave the actual land to nature. I concede that is currently scifi though.
Oh, missed that, thanks.
While this has obvious advantages over electron, like file size, it has the great disadvantage, that you can't be sure, that your view layer behaves the same for all platforms.
Out here in the Bay Area, I've been trying to figure out how to efficiently (and interestingly) use a 10gbe FTTH symmetric setup from Sonic. It's surprisingly hard to find anything for the thrifty consumer that can consume this kind of connection. I'm curious if there is something like the nanoPi R4S targetted at the 10gbe world.

GoDaddy is really a dishonest company. Please do yourself a favor and avoid them. Things I've personally experienced:

* The purchase of webfaction w/ a promise to migrate sites to a new host. They promised for over a year to do this migration and then 30 days before shutdown told me they could not migrate and to figure it out.

* Domain name sniping. Never ever use godaddy to search to find a domain. They will just steal anything you search for if you don't immediately claim it.
As I had mentioned, it requires using a Lambda Layer. See: https://github.com/hayd/deno-lambda/blob/2d90756a0f18b57f16e...

Using your own image (i.e. without using the base AWS image with the layer) you'd get even worse cold start times.
What about their security posture?
Say what you want about smartphones, but I swear I’ve never seen people as glued to a screen as in casinos.
> 1. Does the Blitz RPC thing work the same way as TRPC?

Depends what you mean by "same way". Yes in that both provide fully typesafe client-server communication. No in that the Blitz implementation is a tiny fraction of the size and does not have any Typescript-related performance slowdown at scale like TRPC.

The Blitz RPC tech itself will scale forever. However as a company scales it'll probably face another problem which is API contracts between internal teams. When you hit that, you may want to adopt GraphQL.

> 2. Having got used to Vite I just cannot go back to Webpack (which IIRC Next still wraps).

Yep, I want Next.js to get off webpack too
Please read my statement carefully. Do you understand the meaning of a Straw man argument?

I am not implying it to "everyone", but accusing people of a double standard who now argue that deleting a statement is "quite normal" because that is how it is done in science. And there are plenty of examples in these threads.

So I am not accusing these people of anything (because that would be a straw man argument), but I find it hypocritical when someone considers changes in CDC content to be "everyday scientific practice" without taking into the account that entire careers were destroyed based on precisely this content by a mob using CDC content as their religious truth.
I’ve had great success with them, my vacuum is going strong after 13+ years, washer and dryer great after 9 years. But I’m still harboring negative feelings about their car reviews. They marked the 2013 Ford Edge as a great vehicle with minimal flaws, but when they reviewed the 2014 Ford Edge they found an array of problems and lowered the score. While I was researching and shopping for my Ford Edge I found the 2013 and 2014 were exactly the same cars. I think they enhanced the weld points for ANCHOR points to support 60lbs instead of 45lbs, but that was the extent of changes.. small and incremental. Yet CR faulted them for excess road noise, stiff suspension, and reliability. I test drove both mode years and they both performed and sounded exactly the same. Major parts including suspension were interchangeable as well. We went with the 2013 to save money before the CR reviews for 2014 came out. It made me realize their reviews are not consistent, especially when Tesla Model S went from having top marks to all of a sudden being scored very low. These are not cars that drastically changed between the years, so just buyer beware YMMV

FWIW, I do love my Ford Edge and it is still the daily driver for our household
I agree that more clarification is necessary for this to be adopted mainstream, however that didn't seem to be the intention of the article. i.e. 'fun' for 2 persons knowing each other is highly subjective.

Think of it the other way - some people find it fun just by throwing the dice in turns and whoever has the larger number wins. In this case, there's even a chance for whoever has the huge disadvantage (unlucky) to make a comeback. In cases where it's fatal, either those are added as exceptions e.g. re-roll, or accepted as auto-win. Not unlike some gambling games.

My friends and I had fun adding different rules to existing way of playing various games. We might find out later on that the rule might be incomprehensive, which we could either discard or adjust. It might also never be perfectly balanced. Either way we definitely had fun.

I take the article as more of a "story sharing" than a "new specification" for chess.
I have this same problem. I've bought a huge pile of eBooks -- sometimes because I get inspired to "get into" eBooks, and sometimes because I just crave the instant gratification -- but I always, always forget about them.

I wonder what it is about the folks who are able to "get into" eBooks. Logically, I know all the value props -- great for travel and general minimalism, easy to highlight and search highlights, better for the environment, etc, etc -- but, for whatever reason, I just can't get my brain to do the thing.

On balance, I think I'm okay with it. I spend an enormous portion of my real-estate budget on books, and, frankly... what else would I spend it on? That's one of the key things that it's for, if you ask me.
If you or your team believe the lies that you tell external stakeholders then failure is inevitable since your decisions are not based on an accurate model of reality.

Assuming you are ruthlessly honest within the team, chronic lying to external stakeholders still eventually results in people not trusting you. Once you develop this kind of reputation then investment generally comes with worse terms and more strings attached and you have to pay more and/or look further afield for talent than a team without such a reputation.
Bit late to the party but I didn't know about UIAA. Sometimes I forget I'm already nearing my 40's so a lot can happen in ~ 10-15 years (the last time I did any climbing).
I’m hoping for this too - for me I like self-hosting, and I also like throwing money at companies who produce good products. If there was like a $20-per-device tailscale-pro app which was identical except for allowing a custom server, I’d buy that without thinking twice...
What about their hosting? Do you use that and encountered any problems ever?
The volume of water displacement from a volcanic landslide is orders of magnitude less than that displaced by undersea fault quakes; while it could trigger a "local" tsunami that could impact the African or European coast, it would certainly not be in the same category as a "big one", nor very significant for North America.

Consider that the displaced water from this point event would radiate out in 360 degrees from the Canaries, dissipating with the square of distance traveled.
Both popular SSR frameworks (Next.js + Remix) break the Unix philosophy, and Next.js + Blitz.js is the opposite of the Unix philosophy. (You might think that this is worth it, and you may even be right, but it's something to consider.)

Want a better React stack? Try React + tRPC + Express + Prisma. Each component can be easily swapped out and understood independently (sorry Next.js / Remix), all routing is explicit (sorry Next.js / Remix), development startup time is fast (sorry Next.js), and you still get e2e type safety + minimal boilerplate. I like to call this stack the "NF" stack: "No Framework".

The fanboys will complain. "What about SSR?", they will say. Well, here's the solution: quit fretting about SSR. Your signed-in customers will gladly take 0.05 seconds extra render time for the extra features your devs will be able to deliver after you ditch your complicated SSR framework. Want to do SEO? Make a WordPress site and "SSR" it with Simply Static[0]. Your site will achieve the theoretical minimum Time To First Whatever, your marketing team will be free to actually do their job rather than spending 2/3 of their time trying to get devs to update the landing page, and your devs can move on to something more useful (like creating useful features. Isn't that supposed to be the goal?)

> The claims here in the comments are especially baffling when I assume HN is a very technically capable audience.

It seems like all the comments are from technically competent people. They seem to indicate that they know exactly what causes the issues and they know how to solve them.

Just because you're technically capable doesn't mean you want to deal with Windows BS everytime you want to game, and this is coming from a primarily MS centered developer.

I don't own any apple products and I only have Linux installed on a laptop I never use anymore. My desktop and work laptop are Windows. And windows still annoys me to no end when it sucks unnecessary resources, forces updates, makes connecting any Bluetooth devices a major PITA, can screw up your performance if you installed the wrong drivers, and everything else the other comments mentioned.
> (Blitz wraps NextJS wraps React)

Again I repeat, that is what Blitz used to be. Blitz no longer wraps Next.js. It's no longer a framework.
I did something similar in bash using cd instead of jump.

export CDPATH=.:~/.marks/
function mark {
ln -sv "$(pwd)" ~/.marks/"$1"
}

I prefix all the "marks" with a symbol (eg "@") then if I do

$ cd @

then press tab it will list all the marks, or autocomplete if I type more.
I fail to see how the fact that other people might be willing to do this research changes the ethical propositions at play. You are responsible for your research! Especially when you know what it is going to be used for. Refusing to do the research yourself might not stop it, but you refusing loudly, and convincing a couple people around you to not do so, adds up over time!

You are of course correct that the best thing is to institutionally change things. But the institutional changes are usually pushed for due to actual public pressure.
