I’m having a hard time imagining traveling into a area where car-jacking is a credible threat - and yet feeling safe on public transit.
Because Salesforce has been internally talking about killing off heroku for quite some time, I've been trying alternatives and found many (eg. DigitalOcean, Render) support buildpacks already, so should be a very easy transition.
Is your city really that bad that you are afraid of a bus because it might have a drug addict on it?
People boycott companies for something that company did. Please, go ahead and boycott KiwiFarms all you want: you are well within your right to do so, both legally and morally.

But extending this to other random people or companies who choose to do business with the thing you are personally boycotting is often going too far.
I love the car and car culture. I've road tripped across the U.S. and live in an RV. I will never go back to living in an apartment. There's no human connection there. I spent years living in apartments and maybe met one or two people, with no meaningful connections ever developed. Cars are great for road tripping, and America is highly optimized for it. You can, with the same vehicle, without unpacking once, travel from the Atlantic ocean to the Pacific ocean in a matter of days. You can visit the mountains, beaches, camp in hundreds of national and state parks (for cheap or free).

In Florida, some of my fondest memories was jumping into two cars with my teenage friends and riding out the one hour drive to Daytona, where we'd drive our car literally on the beach and then plop down right next to it, sneaking sips of Natural Light that we illegally smuggled there between sessions of football and boogey boarding. Then we'd get back in the car and be back before curfew.

All of our vacations were to the Smokey Mountains, a mere 9 hour drive from central Florida. Dad would drive overnight in our minivan while us kids slept in the back seats. We'd pull up to a cabin first thing in the morning and excitedly rush to our claim our beds for the few days we'd be staying there. Despite sleeping a little rough in the car, we were more than energized by the newness of the locale and the existence of elevation we were quite unfamiliar with back home on the relatively flat peninsula, and we'd proceed to hike the woods around the cabin to survey the land.

Plenty of human and natural connection is to be had with your own vehicle in America. And I wouldn't have it any other way.

Accurate, up-to-date information for many businesses seems to be about 90% on Instagram and 10% on Facebook. The website, if there is a website, has no information, or old information.

This is frustrating (among other reasons) because Instagram has become much more aggressive in not allowing you to even see their content without logging in. Sometimes you can see the gallery but not an individual posts, sometimes no individual posts, sometimes you can't see anything at all.
The gold standard for me over the last 4 years has been BWIP-JS, which uses the BWIPP postscript library. It's so good, and useful, and has been powering my indie barcode label design Electron app. Shout out to Terry Burton and metafloor for developing and maintaining such an amazing resource.

I agree, it does seem like this makes a lot of sense for the adult industry. But seemingly all of the models that get released have a built in censor for that sort of thing from what I understand.
1) Hitler did a favor to US, starting an idiotic xenophobic/racist campaign in Europe, causing bright scientists to flee in droves to seed US research institutions;

2) Once the British empire and later US became economic powerhouses, English became the de facto research language, what gave English-speaking researchers home turf advantage in access the research literature;

3) The budgetary constraints to universities are softened when they are backed by a government able to print the global trade currency.
Housing density becomes a problem above a certain level if everyone expects to use a car. Parking and traffic become annoying if not crippling, so communities widely support and enact bans on denser residential development.

Restricting supply like this can be fine if demand doesn't grow, but it can be a huge problem for housing affordability if your local economy is booming.
This is a false dichotomy. You can have single family homes with walkable shops/schools.

I visited Nashville recently. Developers can pay a small fee to not put in sidewalks. Kids, adults and pets walk on the road in million dollar home neighborhoods. People don’t even have the option to walk because of ingrained car culture.

Now that we're in 2022, and talking constantly about how companies spy on our personal data, it's very late, but still not impossible to consider and implement.

It would be somewhat of a major effort, but considering the work that goes into government resources, it is lower on the scale of most major projects, because email is a well established protocol.

Federalizing email would be not much different than the home addresses most people already have,; the biggest benefits of implementing an official email resource in each/any country is that it could be secured not just through a more accountable authority than private (profit seeking) companies, but more importantly, it could tie in to proper regulation of almost everything it is used for by law, and protect personal information better, especially when it comes to HIPAA and government related transactions for individuals.

I firmly believe that this would help to bring the current opportunistic and unwieldy landscape of private companies abusing personal data for profit more under control, and it would also cement the future of the Federal mail system, and to me, this is a thing I'd probably even pay to use as a service just on the more reliable level of trustworthiness alone.

Everything you said is true about Chicago - and yet Chicago has median home prices.

Why is NYC so much more expensive?

Because people can make more money to spend on more housing in NYC...
WASPS have long been happy to discriminate against Catholics.

They will discriminate on multiple axes. You can be white and not check off enough boxes to be just like them and you will then be discriminated against.

Now that I think about it I saw a twitter thread the other day about a series of garbage vomit SEO gibberish, all using same template with very prominent Methodology/references section. Might be something new Google is sensitive to and seo people picked up.
A coming Internet filled with fakery could be looked at as a human cultural problem: at a variety of levels, we have a lot of humans who are going to behave irresponsibly, and they're empowered to reach out and affect others.

Ideally, I think first goal would be to fix the cultural problem (e.g., inequity, greed, arrogance, illiteracy).

Second goal would be defenses/resilience, to mitigate our slowness and imperfection towards achieving the first goal.
Yet, people can be harmed indirectly. For example, research may — inadvertently — stigmatize individuals or human groups. It may be discriminatory, racist, sexist, ableist or homophobic. It may provide justification for undermining the human rights of specific groups, simply because of their social characteristics. [..] Advancing knowledge and understanding is a fundamental public good. In some cases, however, potential harms to the populations studied may outweigh the benefit of publication.

"The teachings of the Church must not be undermined by heliocentrism or evolution research, so findings in those areas will be strictly filtered for heresy before publication.

But those findings that support the Church will be permitted, and loudly trumpeted as scientific proof of our dogma."
I can relate to this! I lived parts of my life in car-only and walkable places. I so prefer walkability!

But, it has downsides.

Walkability, in a rich country, means insane real estate prices (in a poor country people don't have enough disposable income after food, clothing etc to create an auction effect).

In a poor country on the other hand, it means crime. In rich country even poor people have cars so crime is more equally distributed, but in poor countries, living in a place where jobs and shipping is unreachable on foot, you are also shielded from almost all crime, but in a poor country all walkable places are dangerous.

In other words, walkable places are only good if you are rich and live in a rich country.
Agreed, the long tail is disappearing from google.

Between datasheets and old cringey fanfic of mine, there are more and more resources that I am aware of that absolutely still exist on the internet, with reasonable robots.txt, but can't be coaxed out of google even with exact snippets.

Can you play your own purchased music easily with an aux cable like we've been doing for decades? People have been making mix tapes for 40 years. Now you can't do that unless you listen to the track of the day and the promo for the new arsenal of podcasts, and did you know that french fries taste good and they are 300 meters to your west?

I want to listen to what I want to listen to. They want us to listen to what is most profitable.

DRM keeps me from playing my files. It treats them like viruses. It extends the walled garden to choose what art I'm allowed to appreciate.

WebAssembly is excellent for:

- Game's scripting engine (UE plugin example: https://www.reddit.com/r/unrealengine/comments/na6hfx/integr...)

- Rule engine for ServerLess scenarios (See Lucet)

- For node.js plugins instead native plugins. Webpack uses AS for hash calculations: https://github.com/webpack/webpack/tree/main/assembly/hash

- For smart contracts of blockchain. AssemblyScript uses for Near Protocol, The Graph Protocol, Cosmos and many others
As a US academic at a prestigious institution, I find it surprising how few of my close colleagues and collaborators are US born- a very small percentage (maybe 10-20%?). In some sense it makes sense that if our institutions are best, the globally best researchers would all come here. If it were a true meritocracy, I guess we would expect ~4-5% of US academics to be US born, given that it's our percentage of the world population, but in practice there are huge obstacles for foreigners to come and work here and succeed.
That's the problem with the approach you've taken. You're showing domains, not web pages. Not all hobbyists or interest groups outside tech have domains.

Everyones money goes into the pot, that's what it's there for. The problems you're describing aren't a shared financial pot though. You're describing the problems when one person has control and allows the other to have access. Both people should have control and the ability to do everything, that's the whole point of collective. Good communication and trust avoid problems.
Fly.io is one I've looked at a few times but hasn't been exactly what I wanted to normally I just use AWS, Firebase, or a DO droplet. Supabase is something I've been interested in as well but I haven't played with it yet either.
It’s not corrupt for a jury to follow what the law says—they swear an oath to do exactly that. And the law doesn’t have a carve-out saying you can only win if you have a product you’re making. (Although under current judge-made law, it is harder for a troll to get an injunction.)

If you don’t like the law, talk to Congress. Don’t blame the juries or the judges.
Ask HN: Has DuckDuckGo suddenly gotten worse?
I've been using DDG as my primary search engine for years, and I've very rarely needed to try a query on Google--it usually felt like putting a "!g" in my queries gave worse results, not better.

But over the last week or so, I feel like I've been having to switch over to Google a lot more often. DDG just isn't turning up good results. I've noticed that no matter what I did, for instance, last night I could not get it to include IMDB in the results (even if I put "imdb" explicitly in the query).

Any ideas what's going on?

Please look up the term "sampling bias". You have an inaccurate, biased understanding of why the majority of student loan debt happens. Your sample is too small and not representative of the country's overall population. Especially if you live in an expensive area, as you said, you are only seeing how "people who can afford to live in your expensive area" handle student loans.
Lemon is maintained as part of SQLite, so to get what you want, you need to clone the SQLite fossil repo.

There is one sentence on Lemon's homepage which points that direction, which is very easy to miss.

All of the hwaci tools are maintained in Fossil repos and distributed as amalgamations, so that's consistent at least.
When Porch Piracy Became a Felony
There's an ambiguity with "mid-Atlantic".

Sometimes it means "trans-Atlantic", an accent which Buckley, Burns, and many pre-1950 movie stars spoke with (while on-screen anyway). It falls somewhere between the accents found in the USA and accents found in the UK.

In the context of this thread, I think it means the mid-Atlantic states in the US. It's close to the American "television news accent".

EDITED TO ADD: It's worth noting that the two accents called "mid-Atlantic" sound very different.
I haven't seen it strongly proven _or_ disproven. It's just a forum post with no evidence either way.

I'm skeptical, but not certain either way.
Recumbent bikes, e-bikes, and other alternatives (https://bicycledutch.wordpress.com/2012/12/06/who-else-benef...) make "bike infrastructure" accessible to pretty much anyone. Considering the fact that it's impossible to live in the USA outside of a nursing home if you lose your ability to drive due to old age... I'm not sure accessibility is a great argument for car-centric infrastructure.
We shouldn’t spend a dime updating suburbs unless it is to transform them into small towns with an actual main street. The design of the average suburb is impossibly inefficient, and the tax base rarely supports the cost of maintaining infrastructure.
No one is denying that bespoke web sites exist. I still run one myself, almost out of sheer stubbornness. But nothing hits it except search engines, which never show a result from it.

Either you create a cross platform pseudo identity, and gain reputation gradually, or you link your pseudo identity to your real identity to start off with 1/8 billionth of reputation.

After all, I don't care who you are, I care about how much reputation you have.
The two movies the author had never seen were two of my favorite films by Miyazaki that I watched in my formative years. Of course the acclaim always went to Nauiscaa, Spirited Away, and Princess Mononoke, but I've always adored Porco Rosso. The atmosphere of those tiny Adriatic islands and interwar Italian cities makes me nostalgic for a place I've never visited.
Your sarcasm seems to rest primarily on the idea that the government is the least-efficient actor possible, which is a popular theory promoted by a group of people who tend to spend their time in control of the government ensuring it is the least-efficient actor possible.

Insert meme of Eric Andre shooting the government and then asking why the government would do such a thing.

In truth, governments around the world deliver a wide range of services at a wide level of efficiencies, and even here in the US, any reasonable comparison of government-provided services with their direct non-governmental equivalents reveals that the government does better than popular image suggests.

I mean, Fedex and UPS don't even deliver to many of the places the USPS does, and when they do, they charge more. Amazon relies heavily on USPS to deliver where they can't efficiently do so. And this is despite heavy-handed handicapping of the USPS in the form of onerous funding requirements by the same party who now tell you that the government is incapable of doing anything well.

There is public housing available in many countries around the world that doesn't carry the legacy of the USA's past efforts. Public housing that is desirable for more than just the economic reasons. Public housing doesn't have to mean total government control of housing. Really good public housing is possible if people want it to happen more than they want to score political points by strangling any efforts in that direction.

The biggest reason I don't support such a push in the USA is because I think there are too many people who think like the parent comment, and will not allow such efforts to succeed. That's not the only reason, though.
Way to miss the point. You're going to use a lot more than 1 pair, Buster!
In this case though, the current "cyber mob", as you might call it, is agitating for a famously editorially neutral company (that simply provides a service to other websites) to become strictly partial based on what is essentially politics under the guise of an anti-harassment campaign. This is a hair's breadth away from demanding that the electric, water, and gas utilities suspend service from problematic but law-abiding individuals and companies. The claim is that private companies should be able to freely choose whether to "publish" another person's views, but the underlying intent is blatantly to bully all the right "dependency" companies such that it is absolutely impossible to operate a law abiding website unless it enforces the correct politics.

In other words:

- "Just make your own subreddit/group chat/etc"

- "Just find another website to speak your views on"

- "Just make your own website if you want free speech"

- "Just run your own hosting company"

- "Just run your own DNS registrar"

- "Just build your own datacentre"

- "Just run your own worldwide DDoS protection" (<-- You are here)

- "Just run your own Internet backbone if you want infrastructure companies to peer with you"

- "Just create your own Internet"
The price of entry is very steep. Many people are willing to pay. Many are not. It's an exaggeration to say that many walled gardens are free to get into, I think. At least, I don't know of any.
> Why are cars and phones giant these days? Is it because nobody wants smaller ones, or because perverse market incentives have distorted offerings in a chase for product growth?

Do you have kids? If you did, you’d know that many people want bigger cars. I drive one of the smallest cars you can buy in the U.S. Now that I have a kid, I’m going to buy a big SUV. Kids require a lot of stuff. Taking them on public transport is a huge pain. Even if you don’t have kids, I’m sure you’ve been annoyed by a stroller on the subway.

There's not nearly enough context here to give a meaningful answer.

Is this a 10 person company and you have a personal relationship with the CEO? Then say whatever you'd feel comfortable saying in a private meeting (within reason).

Is it a 200 person company and the CEO doesn't know your name? Probably safe to keep it that way, keep the answers bland and the scores 4s and 5s.

The safe thing to do is default to being bland and only deviate if you think it will be received well. I've worked with a CEO that I trusted not to use my honest feedback against me, but gossip travels fast. It's not like you're going to get a raise out of anything you say so what's the point?
Town around 50000 is a good bet then. If you can work remotely, find a college town and live outside the center, about a mile. You can bike to anything, take the bus, or just walk.

I did this. I have 100 restaurants, too many bars to count, music and theatre (three!) and festivals and arts within trivial distances. No car needed.
Commercially supported software Qt (and in the parent post, Vue) tend to have good docs. It makes sense: supporting developers is their business model. Likewise tools with ecosystems of companies (postgresql) tend to get good docs over time. The bigger pain points are tools supported by a major company ... but that used by the business rather than sold. There probably are _some_ good docs - especially at the project launch or major milestones - but they aren't as actively curated.
I'd take it further and argue city centers should not be for residential use to begin. Cities can be built like a huge huge shopping mall, you park outside and do your work, enjoy your shopping etc, you don't have to live there.
Fly is really good. If you go over the free tier limits by under $5 they don't charge too, which gives a bit more flexibility on hobby projects.
Yes, I would care very much about 2 grapes if it cost me 150 bones and 30 minutes to replace them.
Seriously, what are you even talking about?

If you put your music in the Music app or any other app that supports CarPlay you can play it. CarPlay is not required, it's always an "also" in cars. You can always Bluetooth to the car or buy a car that has an aux port. I'm thoroughly confused as to why you think CarPlay is DRM or what that has to do with Bluetooth in this discussion.
We don’t live in a meritocracy even just in our own country. It’s a myth that is used to justify bad behavior.
