Where's the "random"? Cloudflare is a services provider: they are a first-degree participant in the affair. You presumably wouldn't object to a boycott of Hugo Boss in 1941, despite not running the camps themselves.

Their own TOS makes this clear, and provides justification for a boycott rather than just general ire: it would be one thing if they merely declined to intervene at all, but they're decided to do so selectively.

An important detail: If you have a free PostgreSQL database running on Heroku it will be deleted three months from today.

You'd better be paying attention to their emails!

I think this is a particularly tough part of this.

Heroku: please consider instead stashing a backup of that data somewhere, so that users who wake up on November 29th and find that their application has vanished can sign in and at least recover their data to migrate it somewhere else.
Well, it did take them 12 years after the purchase to shut it down.. Apart from that, it sounds like the standard acquihire. Salesforce bought Ruby/Java/etc experts to make their platform(s) more amenable to Ruby/Java/etc developers.
> One of the hardest parts about buying a home, apart from all the stuff that isnt fun about buying a home, is finding somewhere that is walkable to... anything.

That's because if you want an individual home, you're giving up the customer density required to make those amenities viable. In a world with the internet, at-home delivery, and yes, cars, it's simply not economically viable to create a grocery store that only caters to 100ish families.

Our very definition of intelligence is part of the issue. There's no question that animals exceed our knowledge in specific domains, a bird who can fly must be vastly more knowledgeable about variable wind conditions than we are. There's a great scene in Lev Grossman's The Magicians where they speak to a talking bear, but all the bear wants to talk about is caves, and area in which his knowledge is so complete that the humans cannot really even talk to him. But our definition of intelligence is narrowed to domains which we live in. That tends to be a wider than most animals, but it's hardly complete.

Off-topic: in the order book updates example, the top of the book is updated using one field per message:

echo '{ "symbol": "AAPL", "bidPrice": 174.1 }' | rpk topic produce book-updates
echo '{ "symbol": "AAPL", "bidVolume": 1000 }' | rpk topic produce book-updates
echo '{ "symbol": "AAPL", "askPrice": 174.2 }' | rpk topic produce book-updates
echo '{ "symbol": "AAPL", "askVolume": 2000 }' | rpk topic produce book-updates
echo '{ "symbol": "AAPL", "bidPrice": 174.0 }' | rpk topic produce book-updates

However some top of the book update can result in an entire level disappearing. In that case, both price and volume changed actually at the same time, yet according to this example it will be broken down into two messages? This will lead to inconsistent state of the book when I read it between two messages. Or did the example just happen to show one field per message, and multiple fields per message are possible too?
Thanks for the clarity guys!

I don't always have the time to write out a detailed description, but will save posts for when I can.

I am beginning to not like the process in which HN changes intended titles for posts, seems like a new move to fight sensationalism on post titles, but it often works with unintended results that could add context if they weren't edited... Seems counter productive... But I can't complain. :)
That's correct, they do not want people getting service and not paying for it.

I love having AirPods Pro. Super easy, seems to just work™. Where I have issues with connecting to vehicles.

I have a pickup truck that has bluetooth and a 3.5mm jack. The problem is that when I start the truck, it takes about a minute for it to connect to my iPhone. While it's connecting, it's playing FM radio extremely loud. It's gotten to the point now where I just gave up on bluetooth and use a permanent dongle to 3.5mm just so that I don't have to deal with bluetooth.
Author compares post college life to his residential campus and concludes that walkability promotes human connection? That's... ...an opinion, to put it charitably. Cities have been known for fostering alienation and dehumanization long before the invention of the automobile. People who move out to my car-necessitating suburb routinely cite the enhanced feeling of community by having a small town feel centered around the school district, local businesses, churches, and responsive civic organizations that make a difference. I think the author needs to get out of his bubble.
None of this is uniquely American. Europe, the Middle East, East Asia, Australia, Africa, etc. all have unique but similar histories of genocide and enslavement. And it was happening in the Americas long before any Europeans arrived too.
Nope. And I've tried. US cities are so dominated by cars that other modes of transportation are an afterthought.

If you've ever tried to bike on an icy bike lane (when the car surface was cleared days ago), been honked at by aggressive drivers on residential streets for daring to walk or bike, been yelled at by a driver parked in a bike lane, or been stressed out by a street corner that becomes completely blind to traffic due to a huge parked car... that's what I'm talking about.

I've barely used Heroku, just playing with it for a day or two when it was in its heyday to see what it was about. But my incredibly anecdotal sense is that Heroku's real sweet spot was apps that started out on the free plan and then grew to be paying customers. Is that not really accurate? I know that's kind of a hard business model because only a tiny percentage of free customers will ever start paying. But do companies that can afford to pay from day 1 really use Heroku?
Oh the humanity! I cannot take people like you seriously. I could by 100 pairs and still do considerably less damage than some companies do in the time it takes me to check out.
Oh but they have sound which can be annotated much faster/more efficiently. You also potentially have screenplay but the amount of training data is probably too less and sparse.

FWIW, I don’t think the AI systems will generate a whole video by itself - it’ll be some form of image to image generation where an artist will render a rough sketch of the scene and the AI will fill in the details, frame by frame.

Mary and the Witch's Flower was an utter disappointment for me. They clearly were giving nods to Spirited away and trying to capture its magic, but somehow it all felt very shallow. And those scenes when some action things happen under exactly the same musical motif... the third time it happened, it felt super lazy. Like, mr movie director, did you run out of music samples?
And then that new infrastructure will be subverted just as the current one has been. I don't think this is an issue that can be solved through engineering. I think the problem lies in different domain.

"Transport of the handicap and infirm... ", Cars are not ideal for disabled people. As an epileptic, the driving restrictions are one of the worst parts of the disease. I feel like I'm in a prison. I can't drive to the store, I can't drive my kids to school, I can't drive to do anything recreational. I'm literally stuck at home and 100% dependent upon someone else to do absolutely anything. Even if someone is nice enough to drive me somewhere I feel so guilty for taking their time away. Biking here sucks too, the local roads are like freeways (60+mph). The bike "lanes" are a joke. Cars are a requirement. It's so goddamn stupid and it really, really, really sucks for people like me. Its hard for me to convey how infuriating it is. Cars are not ideal for the disabled and infirm. There are a non-negligible amount of people in a similar situation as me.
The only reason to want population growth is to have more people to pay taxes, if they're unwanted unaffordable children they're not going to be paying more taxes than they cost the state in benefits.
Not to mention the increased cost of maintaining the infrastructure for all of that suburban sprawl. The farther apart things are the more asphalt, water and sewage pipes, fire department coverage, school buses and drivers, street lamps, etc. are required. That money has to come from somewhere.

> Why would CloudFlare do anything like that???

Do anything like what? Address controversy? It’s common for companies to issue public statements when they’re in hot water.

Or did you mean doing something about bad actors? It certainly is their prerogative to do nothing. But they’re just as capable of doing something. That’s why I’m asking their CTO whether they’ve issued any statements yet. So far I’m not aware of any external communication about this, and I’m keen to hear what they have to say.
Scientists Traced Earth’s Path Through the Galaxy via Tiny Crystals
I have worked a few projects which involved plenty of physical activity as an engineer. Look for companies in health and fitness, or defense. I spent lots of time in prototype labs, out in the field doing tests, and exercising while wearing various sensors we were working on.

I found that these jobs did not pay as well as pure boring Software, but the projects were fun and always engaging.
And yet, the most expensive places to live in dense areas are single family homes. Like how much does a brownstone in Greenwich Village cost? 15 million? Clearly in any environment, a single family home is the most desirable option. People may be willing the settle for a different option in exchange for some other benefits like having a lot to do, but given the choice they’ll still pick a single family home.
Heroku's business model was getting developers hooked w/ their free plan, and then making up the lost revenue by overcharging them once they needed to scale. This worked because the last thing you want to deal with when your business starts blowing up is moving everything over to a new stack. It's hard to imagine businesses choosing to start with Heroku's overpriced plans w/o first getting hooked with the free samples.

On the other hand, I can only imagine the amount of bitcoin mining and DDOS farms that people must try to deploy on their platform every day. It sounds like a never-ending game of cat and mouse. It's remarkable that they offered free accounts for as long as they did.

Because while you're getting the benefit, you're not the only one benefiting. The benefit applies to you as well as to everyone else. So your calculation should be "I paid $58,440 in taxes, but I saved $32,000 on tuition for myself, so I actually only paid $26,440 to help everyone else in the country get the same $32,000 education that I did."

This is not ready yet (I'm not actually sure if I ever finish it, I don't have much motivation right now) but I've also developed a fitness tracking web app: https://foodrec.spapas.net/

It should also be usable from a mobile phone. The main point of this app is that you define your favorite ingredients / foods / meal and then use them to log (and even build) your day meals. For example, you add some ingredients like

* plums, per 100 gr have these macros

* milk, per 100 ml, has these macros

* whey protein, per 1 scoop, has these macros

* oat, per 100 gr has these macros

(macros will be cal/prot/carbs/fats/sat fats/sugars/salt/fibers)

Then you add the foods, each food has a number and specific amount of ingredients, for example:

Protein breakfast with oat and plums:

* oat, 40 gr

* milk, 200 ml

* whey protein, 1.5 scoops

* plums, 20 gr

Or

Glass of milk:

* Milk, 300 ml (only 1 ingredient)

And then you can use these foods to calculate your caloric intake per day, for example, on that day I ate:

* 1 glass of milk

* 1 Protein breakfast with oat and plums:

etc

This app is probably better for people that are eating the same things every day; you'll need a little effort to record your favorite stuff but then you should be able to quickly fill your intake logs.

If anybody decides to actually use it (it's completely free) and have any problems / suggestions you can send any comments to

Oh absolutely, I just love living in NYC and whenever I think of where else I'd live my answer is always a city that isn't in the US. In a country this big you'd think there'd be more than one of us.
It is ironic that the thread that demonstrates Americans' philosophy of car-loving also demonstrates Americans' philosophy of decision making. Sure Bobby, you're in control, this was all your decision :)
That was the intent, yes. But I was neither born nor raised in the mid-Atlantic states, and people are generally surprised when I tell them I was born in the deep South because I don't have the expected southern drawl.

It would be a poor business decision to exclude boot camp students from the upcoming student plan(s). That obviously doesn’t cover all types of learning/getting started though. I too mourn the loss of free, but also think it is the right decision for the times.

And healthcare costs that round to zero, and neither you nor your children will be shot.
I'm not the grandparent, but I've looked a lot and I don't think there is a single city. New York is the only place you can reasonably live car free without feeling like you're handicapping yourself to make a statement, but it's also very specific type of city that comes with a lot of other baggage (e.g. expensive, overly dense and urban, arguably not where you want to raise kids, etc).

There are plenty of cities where you can live parts of this life, for example when you're young. But when it's time for a family there's basically nowhere in the US you can avoid the house-and-two-cars typical American lifestyle (except New York City with lots of money).
On the other hand, 20 years ago such farm would not have any internet presence at all, not to mention detailed and up to date inventory info. Instagram et al made it possible.
i don't think a society that allows old people to vote themselves young people's money just because there's more of them is a good one.
Yeah you have to draw the line somewhere. I grew up in a town of a few thousand people, 45m drive from the nearest "city."

With that population density it's never going to make sense to put something like light rail on that route. So these people will continue to use cars. And that's fine.. hopefully cars continue to get safer and easier on the environment.

I think it's the urban/suburban sprawls akin to LA that really could benefit from better transit/walkability.

Yet, many people also have pickup trucks in Norway specifically to deal with moving snow which is what I was referring to. You don’t need a high percentage of big trucks to do this, but it is utility you get from a truck you don’t get from a model 3.

Walkability in rich countries is expensive precisely because lots of people want walkability, and that want is underserved. It's signal that we should allow more of it to happen!
Something left out is how this all came to pass.

The UK had a political party UKIP, which was lead by Nigel Farage, he had been pushing for Brexit for a long time.

The right wing government in power was up for reelection, and UKIP said basically "we want a referendum on Brexit or we won't give you our votes and you won't get back into power"

So the prime minister at the time said "ok fine", thinking that brittons won't be dumb enough to vote for it.

So the referendum was called, and the remain sides campaign pointed out how crazy this would be and how much damage it would cause.

The leave campaign lied through their teeth and called the other side a bunch of nerds and fear mongeres. They told the boomers that they could get the old color of their passports back, and said the UK could get rid of the scary immigrants taking their jobs.

The vote went like 51:49... And the then prime minister quit as that was the deal.... In his place was a cavalcade of morons to replace him.

So now the UK is suffering and its all because of this stupid backstory.
