It's quite hard to give advice based on the information given.

There are definitely some alternatives that are setup fire and forget, but usually come with some cost. Self hosting a clustered postgres or similar will not be hastle free.

the simple alternative is to throw money at the problem, but based on your comment that doesn't seem to be an option.

There are some pretty cool tools surrounding SQLight to maintain a continuous backup as well as some simple read-replcas for scale up.

Another simple solution would be to use some managed no SQL, but cost can rise quite quickly with increased usage.

I really think foundationDB would be a misstep, it's a lot of work and requires a really good understanding of the db in excess of how to use it properly.

> Of course people with power are going to concentrate it and nudge things to ever greater heights in their favor. To attempt to stop it you need other people with power to do something...

This is true. However you got the following conclusion wrong.

People with power will continue to concentrate it. The solution isn't to prevent people from gaining power (or wealth) - the solution is it have an opposite force always pushing to distribute power again.

So in relative terms people with good ideas, or financial success can gain wealth or power relative to their peers as a reward for success, but the overall system must ensure that on absolute terms that power or success doesn't continuously consolidate and become to heavy.

That is why antitrust, term limits, and yes progressive taxation are some of the most important things a society can do. Checks against power consolidation are the only ways to keep a society functioning with any sort of efficiency.

It's the old school mario cart approach. Yes someone can win the race, but the system also says the further ahead you get, the more headwinds you face and the further behind you are, the more likely you get a tail wind. It's the same reason why sports leagues have hard salary caps and specifically draft picks are distributed in reverse order of success/performance. It's the only way to get actual competition. The same holds in business and society in general. Otherwise you end up with a monopoly or oligopoly stamping out competition.

The only form of free-market competition is enforced free-market competition.

We're (or at least I'm) not demanding neutrality. I'm criticizing the needless meddling of an almost unrelated middleman on a completely legitimate transaction.

> On HN that would be speech against nuclear energy or against encryption.

Do you actually believe 95% of HN (or a number even remotely close to that, let's say 50%) would want discussions against nuclear energy or encryption completely censored?

There's a huge difference between somebody saying "this is a stupid idea and we shouldn't even be discussing it" (I would say that) and wanting censorship actually enforced (I would never want that).

Can confirm. I have an 1898 house in the Northeast. Just upgraded from 100A service to 200A service for $3900. I didn’t own the house at the time, but I believe it went from 40A to 100A in 1985.

I was curious if there was an older history. A Google Book search for: "Super Easy" "Barely an Inconvenience" indeed found nothing before about 2018, and then a few books use that combined phrase.

The thing about a blockade is that you just have to get commercial vessels to not want to enter targeted ports. Even excluding financial and economic tools that China can leverage against companies and supposing China's military couldn't compete with the US near its coasts (debatable), a world where the strait is littered with mines and blasted with missiles is a world where Taiwan is effectively blockaded.

And the US cares a lot more about Taiwan than Ukraine, but there's an equally large gap between how much China cares about Taiwan and how much the US does.
Yeah, but giving all website interaction data to a company for "convenience" is exactly not how to make that easier. The logins and account information belong on the client side along with the person; and should be implemented fully on a client (with a separate encrypted backup strategy). The way this whole thing was implemented is so it can be abused.

> Reddit has been moderated the entire time, at a per-community level. It was never a free-for-all.

Sure, but the moderation team members have dramatically shifted from (and I’m being glib here) “kinda cringey atheist libertarians” to “authoritarian left/liberals steeped in idpol”.

The “Reddit moderator” cohort whiplashed from one extreme on the political compass to its polar opposite extreme in only a few years. Not claiming anything conspiratorial since I can certainly imagine how it could happen organically, but it’s interesting nonetheless how much of an effect different moderation standards can have on large online communities.

I'm changing jobs for a 20% increase, but going from a very stable job to another very stable leader in the industry, not a startup. So not quite the same and I'd be a bit worried about going to a startup in this climate.

Book piracy is as old as copyright. There were presses putting out editions unauthorised by the Stationers' Company when they held a legal monopoly in England, and the US was a famous hotbed of book piracy throughout the 19th Century. Dickens, amongst others, was not happy.
Language standardization, typography, and published vs unpublished works are all in separate domains.

Language standardization is not typography and we have figured out typography for the most part before language standardization. Look at the American English 'argument' vs the British English 'arguement' or 'color' vs 'colour'.

I also just so happen to have a collection of German children's books - the font family each uses is different, but it's still German.

I liken web sites to digital magazines and newspapers. These have an artistic quality to them in terms of content, structure, pictures, etc.

Would you not think it bland if every newspaper or magazine on the planet used the same structure, font-face, and voice?
here in alaska we use block heaters as a must have.

Cold oil doesnt recirculate very well, of course a chronicaly cold engine, with cold oil, is going to display excessive wear.

so, why "warmup" a vehicle?

two parts...

1] old model vehicles dont have digital engine control its electromechanical.

cold carburetors run out of tune, unless you have auto choke and idle tuning.
so the block needs to be warm for efficiency and normal function.

2] it gets cold in the cabin of a alaskan vehicle no matter what make/model, as in deep negatives and hoar frost all over. most humans dont do well in this, and have to warmup the cabin to function outside of hypothermia. this is afew levels beyond scraping frost of a window.
I remember learning how to write html w my friend when we were in middle school. The hardest part was content. We decided just on lists of things we liked and didn’t like. I remember adding things to these lists was super fun and we put a lot of thought into what was there and why.
Something I appreciate a lot on Mastodon is simply its federated nature. It seems to me like a nice middle-ground between: 1. niche communities like Discord, and 2. "everyone at the same time" like Twitter.
I don’t agree that you should prevent people from saying wrong things in case someone happens to read/hear and believe them, no.

If it’s wrong, counter it with warning labels explaining who thinks it’s wrong and why.

Yes, the consequence might be that at the margins, more people believe wrong things even given the warnings (though despite some pretty concerted efforts it seems pretty conclusive to me that that’s going to happen anyway, and perhaps the desire to stem the flow of misinformation has only created more conspiracy theories), but alternative of state control of what is acceptable thought / expression is far worse.

(Note that I am fine with, and would even encourage preventing companies from profiting from furthering misinformation, for example by having algorithms that promote it beyond a account’s followers or a post’s organic reach because it produces clicks and ad revenue, but that is very different.)
Would very much recommend looking on Facebook Marketplace. It has been a source of 90% of our board games for this exact reason. We also use Board Game Geek and some youtube videos to get a feel for things as well.
The superior ability of the US to project force in distant places does not inherently translate to the ability to beat China in its own backyard. The US has more and (much) better carriers, but China has, well, China, and a whole lot of missiles and planes there.
Yes, but, people care about 'stuff that works' 10x before they care about the tech press or supposed 'values' of some FSF moralisation.

Mastodon is has a usability problem in the concept of Federation and many other things.

It's complicated, they don't provide a clear path to usability or understanding.

I mostly agree about the problem in journalism, but it's not a Mastodon problem, moreover, there are ways to fit Mastodon into basic narratives.

I also don't think that WSJ articles matter that much with respect to influencing tech trends.
"peratures can shorten the life of your engine by stripping away oil from the engine’s pistons and cylinders — two critical components that help your engine run."

Nonsense, if the oil pump and engine are built correctly and working as intended this does not cause librication not to work correctly. How many cabs would die early because they are idling in traffic all day? Your personal cars engine is not a formula one cars engine that survives one weekend of driving.
Tailscale requires a 3rd party network login. If Google freezes your account you get locked out of your private network also.

Trying to find the best possible reading of a comment does not mean ignoring the literal meaning of a comment. If the comment was, as speculated, a reminder for the user, it’s not appropriate and counter to HN guidelines:

Buddhism has plenty of "absurd" beliefs of this sort. If anything, the delineation of "absurd" is anything but simple.
This feels a bit shallow. According to this website, another website says that warming your car in cold weather before driving can cause damage due to stripping oil from the piston.

I’m willing to believe it but I’d like to hear some details. Surely the engine is going to warm to the same temperature soon enough?
Indeed, we are complicit. Something to reflect on.

Nonsense, it’s obviously emacs.
For me the benefits far outweigh the increased wear on the engine.

I don't really need my engine to last 400k miles like it can in perfect circumstances.

I need fog free windows, be comfortable driving the car without gloves on making the steering slip. To be able to focus on getting around and not shivering.

I don't drive these days but back when I did those were all issues I had for my 5am start getting to work. And far more a concern to me than the engine losing some longevity (which I could make up for just by proper care few people do anyways).

* Later in the year China will take military action, likely towards Taiwan . America will comply cause they knew all along. The CHIPS act was actually them giving CPC the go ahead. This may be preceded by the next one

* America will have a local crisis that leads to violent unrest. Perhaps coming from either Florida or Texas who are currently very belligerently sick of illegal immigration on their borders. Perhaps around outrage at giving billions to Ukraine to stop Russians from coming across their border, and not to their own (TX, FL) to defend their border? This will leave China more free to act in Taiwan

* AWS will announce a cockroachDB "killer" version (just like MSK aimed at confluent, DocumentDB aimed at MongoDB) , perhaps a new Aurora variant in RDS

* Netflix will have a marked decline in prominence, stock will start to resemble something like Ford (F) -- treated as a bond, and bought for cash flow. Share price will approach $100 (P/E ~10)

* People who lost their jobs, sick of it all, will start to build offline lives, return of the potluck and being grateful for small things, GenZ being so disillusioned by it all and longing for LowFi will actually disconnect and find analog life to be both the lowest fidelity, and the highest pleasure.
But they aren't following laws, they are following their own arbitrary rules that fit their business and their personal politics. Same goes for merchants like Visa that will deny you access to their system even though what you are selling is legal.
FWIW, I've been giving the fediverse a try for 2 weeks now and it's slightly less obscure without the crazy "algorithmic" timeline. Chronology is less confusing than machine recommendations. Who would've thought?
The book this is based on is quite good. Stephen Smith's "Programming with 64-Bit ARM Assembly Language". https://www.goodreads.com/en/book/show/53671067
It's honestly a bit contradictory. It's budgeting the system to always run at the worst possible case and then it says:

> At the same time, there are cases where the constant work pattern doesn’t fit quite as well. If you’re running a large website that requires 100 web servers at peak, you could choose to always run 100 web servers. This certainly reduces a source of variance in the system, and is in the spirit of the constant work design pattern, but it’s also wasteful. For web servers, scaling elastically can be a better fit because the savings are large. It’s not unusual to require half as many web servers off peak time as during the peak. Because that scaling happens day in and day out, the overall system can still experience the dynamism regularly enough to shake out problems. The savings can be enjoyed by the customer and the planet.

Well, then why not just do a stress test on these things regularly rather than constantly running it at worst case? For example, once every few hours generate the 10k items but otherwise leave the system running normally. Same effect without running it always in "worst case" mode.

The rates are not terribly different. Perhaps couples that meet through friends and family feel more pressure to stay together due to social pressure of said friends and family - but are actually in an unhappy marriage.

> But after overcoming the first few rocky years that many marriages experience, the way couples initially met doesn't make much of a difference — at the workplace, online, at a bar or through family all have divorce rates hovering around 20%.

And this perhaps bolsters my first point.. perhaps it’s a good thing that the marriages end faster.
>Likely you would win an amount equivalent to the severance you would be eligible for from your previous employer plus additional expenses for relocation

I wouldn't be hopeful about this. Speaking from the UK, we have wrongful dismissal that's basically a breach of contract, so you're basically eligible for the notice period, which is 2 weeks, although I think it takes a week to kick in.

You could perhaps sue for other losses due to breach of contract but it wouldn't be wrongful dismissal and it would be a major departure from the British way of doing things.

However most British employment law protections stem from eu law. Wrongful dismissal is kind of a holdover at this point so it's possible Canadian law is now very different, despite being from the same root.
>"It's possible to de-escalate from a blockade."

How? Oh please remove the blockade, we'll be a good girl from here on? Yeah sure. You think they would even let it get to the stage when harbors are mined?

The only realistic and safe course of actions is for the West to get their shit together and start very gradual decoupling. This will of course be reciprocal and the end result will be multi-polar world with ever changing alliances.

My impression is that the past predictions were based on Linux desktop winning from the tech & UX side. That's unlikely to happen.

I'm betting on the Windows regression. MS is making it happen. Forced reboots, lengthy updates, forcing people to create Microsoft Account, ads and app store. It's horror. I don't understand how people allow that. In addition, MS Office and similar often change the whole UI or the formats. How the people/companies keep up with that?
These are important notes, but I think the key part is that if you’re self-hosted, you presumably have access to the machine without Tailscale aswell, though it may be less convenient. So these aren’t as big of a deal as if, for example, you lost your Google account and you couldn’t access your LastPass login.

yes thats a big hole in the article. diesel is oil, its a wet fuel, like gasoline [vs propane]. diesels here in AK usually run with winter additive or ether start.
