It is set by the organizations that purchase mortgages from the bank. If the borrowers don't meet these guidelines they won't buy the mortgage and the bank would need to hold it, which they typically don't want to. See FNMA and FHLMC.
Mostly, but if they aren't, is it because they keep getting tasks that are genuinely hairier than we expected, or because they are slacking and then making excuses? If you distribute work completely randomly then eventually it should all even out, but if you let people specialize, or self-select work, then it isn't unreasonable for someone to be more likely than others to get "surprises".

With on-site (and open-office even more so), it was much easier to differentiate these two. I don't want to give someone a luke-warm performance review because their work was taking longer, when in reality they were solving harder problems. I also don't want to push things like pair-programing on someone who really doesn't like it (and I assume it is worse over Teams or what not than in person).
Wouldn't this be a natural case of "check Wikipedia"?

> I do wonder however if they'd be better off using less l33t tech - do almost everything on Postgres vs consul and vault, etc. Scaling, failover, consistency, etc is a more well-known problem and there are a lot of people who've ran other DBs at tremendous scale than the alternatives.

In my experience people who ran Postgres distributed across a WAN tended to use obscure third-party plugins at best, more often a pile of dodgy Perl scripts. Using something designed from the ground up to be clustered seems to have a much better chance of working out than trying to make something that's been built as a single-instance system for decades work across the internet.
Lunni has got an interesting concept — and I can actually see some good uses for it!

Is the actual "production" workflow still pasting a Docker Compose file in? I would much rather have an automated deployment process that doesn't require human input, that way it can be scripted as part of CI/CD, etc.

Personally, I fell in love with `git push production` (naming a git remote `production`) to trigger a deploy. Ironically I didn't like this back when I first tried Heroku, but it's grown on me since. As of now, I have a custom git receive hook on my server (building a NAS from "scratch" using IaC on my home server) that triggers a redeployment using Docker Compose.

Also, you mention Swarm... what does Lunni bring with Swarm as opposed to simple Docker Compose? Does it distribute across multiple systems?
How do Coolify and Dokku compare? I've been aware of Dokku for a long time already, however I've never been confident enough to rely on these interfaces to deploy applications, specially because of their business model to keep things going. I'll have to try them both eventually though, I absolutely hate PaaS honestly, the prices are all just too high, but the convenience is really nice when managing a multitude of services simultaneously.
> I would announce it is now a independent Country.

I am disappointed to see HN devolve into armchair general territory. In this specific case, the constitution ruling over Taiwan is the Constitution of Republic of China adopted in 1946 in Nanjing, before the PRC was a thing.

In general most of Taiwan does not believe it needs to do anything to "proclaim" their independence, only a tiny minority want to change the constitution (not just an amendment, the name of the constitution itself), which would be rather difficult on almost all levels..
I don't know about the article's theorizing, but it inspired me to have a conversation I enjoyed with ChatGPT, where I focused on telling it not to discuss polar bears. (It helpfully changed the page title to "No Polar Bears!")

Once you've built a system that works well in production (and scales elastically, too, it seems), it is really difficult to switch out the underlying infrastructure. Makes sense about walking it back.

The problem with running your own servers in data centers as a startup is that elasticity is genuinely a difficult problem to solve if you don't have a large budget for unused compute, storage, and so on. As we are seeing in Fly.io's case.

Ultimately, my bet is that both startups end up as Heroku-like acquisitions for some large cloud company or another. I think that render will sell for a lot more because the value it provides is agnostic to the underlying cloud infrastructure.
My dad worked 33 years as a bridge builder. I would meet random people who would tell me they were in awe of his skill. It took me 3 years or so out of a community college with an IT degree to match his pay.
I'm not sure you can say that their attraction of youth is actually "natural" - as other subthreads here have suggested, Gen Z is considerably less interested in computing than my (millenial) generation was. When I was a teenager I was torrenting 100% of my media, tweaking and installing VST's in Ableton's Max for Live to make music, hacking my school district's crappy computer security system to get onto a proxy and play video games in the library, and then figuring out how to code in Powershell so I could bot on those games.. the list goes on. Me and my friends thought we were Epic Trolls and hackers - I think that image has been relegated to the "cringe" bin of history, the same way that people look at pictures of themselves wearing leather jackets with teased hair from the 80's and go - Look! Look how ridiculous I was back then! Times have changed.

I think for a certain segment of the population born between 1980 and 1995, mostly male gamer/geek type personalities (and believe me, I do cringe at the person I believed I was in 2006 when I was doing all of this stuff), computers were and remain attractive because of the stereotypical associations with the Hacker/slacker archetype - the cultural milieu consistent with The Matrix, online video games, shows like the I.T. crowd, musicians like Aphex Twin and Radiohead, fantasy and sci-fi ranging from the more primitive Dwarf Fortress and Lord of The Rings to the fast-paced cyberpunk of Counter Strike and Snow Crash.

I'm not particularly "hip" but a lot of the mystique and glory of the Hacker seems to have worn off with kids these days - gaming and mobile phones are ubiquitous and easy to use, where they used to only be for the "hardcore nerds". Tech startups full of people like me when I was 18 have taken over the world (unfortunately, I was not one of them) and they seem to have done their fair share of harm.

I know that computer science remains popular as a career avenue to make money for young people, but I'm not sure that they're particularly passionate about it in the way that some people my age and older are. When I was into it as a self-styled "outcast" neckbeard teenager, I was into it because of the cultural connotations and the associations marketed to me as a young man in the "hacker" heyday. Imagine telling me or any young "geek" type guy in 2005 that when I was 35 that I would be a systems engineer working with ex-frat bro type guys on the hardest problems I have ever approached - I probably would have scoffed and told you that there's no way such a small mind could ever approach the mathematics and algorithms needed to REALLY be an engineer (again, cringe, but true). Yet here I am, and it's great.

Suffice it to say that I don't think there's anything uniquely young or male about computing or computers, and that the culture around them is completely free to morph and shift as

Really fun work.

But it works by using multi-host CXL memory devices.

Personally I hope CXL ends up being a bit more bidirectional in the end. The current model is to have a way to attach peripherals. But I really want to see hosts also acting as memory devices themselves.

With that, stranded memory could be used by other hosts. Or other really interesting use cases. ;)

> The only reason PRC would invade Taiwan is if Washington started installing ICBM silos there.

That would be too late, by definition, for China to invade. The US would likely be very wary of letting their missiles fall into enemy hands.

The PRC don't have a huge amount of time to take Taiwan. Their median age at 2020 was 37.5, their projected median age in 2030 is 42.7. For every two years that passes, their current demographic trajectory suggests their median age will grow by 1 year.

Unless they wish to fight an "old man" war, with all the societal tensions that arise from essentially sending the only grandchild of four grandparents to their death+, then the PRC need to hurry up and take Taiwan to allow them the force projection into the deep pacific.

Otherwise the Chinese century will be delayed another 100 years (or probably longer).

You might be interested to know that the status of the sovereignty of Ukraine was not in question at any point right up until the very second that Putin said the Kyiv government was a Nazi government, and invaded.

> electric trucks make gas mileage and emissions irrelevant.

The majority of pickups being sold are still ICE, so gas mileage and emissions are definitely still relevant.

Also, electricity needs to come from somewhere, and for now it still comes mainly from burning fossil fuels. So miles per kWh and their associated emissions are still relevant when it comes to EVs.

> But I can also recognize that other reasonable people need or want trucks and that's fine.

I agree it's not for me to decide what kind of car or truck other people should drive. But I do think the government should at least structure taxes and laws to incentivize people to drive cars with fewer social costs (emissions, safety of others in a collision, road wear, parking space, etc). Currently the US government is doing the opposite, by offering a larger tax credit for EV Trucks and SUVs, for example.
I would strongly suggest you think about how such a system could actually work. For example, DNS is still decentralized unless you’re running something illegal in so many places that you can’t get a stable entry from one of thousands of choices around the world. If that’s the kind of thing you’re concerned with, I don’t see much advantage to replacing a DNS record with a public key on Nostr - that’s the easiest part of the problem compared to preserving the actual data, limiting access only to people you trust (how do you know who that really is?), etc.

> But I think you don't really grasp the unhosting ideas& advantage

This is why so many people are comparing this to blockchains/web3 — people seem to have started by saying everyone needs to adopt a particular technology but it’s like pulling teeth to get a proponent to give a concrete example of a real problem experienced by non-hypothetical people which is competitively solved by using it. If you ask for details the response is not to provide them but say “you don’t get it”, which in my experience is one of the most reliable indicators of a technology which will fail.

I first used self-hosted development tools in the 90s so assume I’m familiar with the advantages and disadvantages of working that way. What I’m missing here is a benefit from Nostr which would be so beneficial that people would give up the advantages of the systems everyone has settled on. For example, if the big pitch is “censorship resistance” I’d start by establishing who’s being censored on a scale noticeable enough to support a large development effort, followed by convincing analysis that the proposed system will actually accomplish its goals.
The opposite, HK broke the promise it made to PRC by dragging out implementation of NSL that was always in PRC legal perview to unilaterally implement. The reality is PRC demonstrated stupid patience by letting the HK, the spyhub of Asian operate for 20 years under state of national security exception that any other sovereign would not tolerate. HKers literally had the carte blanche to commit treason (and did), so reasonab for PRC to close that legal loophole after putting up with it for 20 years.

E over post limit

>You can't commit treason to a country no never agreed to join.

As if they have a say in the matter. British Crown handed them over to PRC and turned them into Chinese citizens. Ergo they can commit treason the second they formally draw breath on Chinese soil. Law finally catching up so said treason can be prosecuted, like any sensible national security framework.
Per the article, the size of "mid-size" trucks today is about the same as full-size trucks were in the 1990s.

When the pandemic began and I started working from home, I gave up my car because it just didn't make sense to have two and I've continued to work from home and we've continued with only one car. I've decided that I want my next vehicle to be a pickup truck because, as a home owner, I often need to do minor hauling. The truck I have in mind is something like a late 90s Ranger or Tacoma; but, I don't want to buy a 25 year-old vehicle. Unfortunately, the modern alternatives are all so huge (and expensive) that it puts me off the idea almost entirely.
Texas and Taiwan share very little in common in terms of history as political states and entities in the world economic system. It's a strange analogy you're asking us to make with negligible equivalencies.
So Tokyo isn't affordable and livable because it's dense?

I lived in Japan so I understand where you're coming from...but the fact that "fleeters" are even a thing should tell you they are doing something right with housing prices. Can you imagine an American person in Seattle deciding to just work 30 hours at a conbini and being able to rent a studio?

A couple things:

1. Sure, Tokyo is dense and can be kinda soul crushing...but the option of having a roof even at incredibly low income is better than none.

2. Zoning to allow residential to be on top of business, and allowing smaller apartments and 2 very obvious things that make it literally "easier to build" in Japan than the US.

This isn't even just a Tokyo thing. When I lived in a pretty nice suburb in Okinawa a lot of my friends were paying like 300-400$ usd for rent, and I rarely ever saw homeless people. I live in Honolulu now and there's homeless everywhere and good luck finding any studio under $1300. There's a pretty obvious difference.

> But documents recently released by the National Archives in Britain suggest that beginning in the 1950s, the colonial governors who ran Hong Kong repeatedly sought to introduce popular elections but abandoned those efforts in the face of pressure by Communist Party leaders in Beijing.

> The documents, part of a batch of typewritten diplomatic dispatches requested by reporters from two Hong Kong newspapers, reveal that Chinese leaders were so opposed to the prospect of a democratic Hong Kong that they threatened to invade should London attempt to change the status quo.

> Another document recounts a meeting two years earlier, during which Premier Zhou Enlai told a British military officer that any effort to introduce even a modicum of self-governance to Hong Kong would be viewed as “a very unfriendly act” and a “conspiracy,” one he suggested would be seen as a move to set the colony on a path to independence.

> The threats had the desired effect. Britain made little effort to introduce electoral democracy in Hong Kong in the decades that followed.

Sure, no doubt. My point wasn't really about the particularities. It was around the mistaken idea that I see sometimes where people believe that TrueTime allows for synchronized global writes without any need for consensus.
The legal arguments on Taiwan are always very complicated, and the Diplomat article you linked to is very careful to specify Republic of China--not China--is the signatory to treaties. It is a very intentional wording as the author of the article is from the Taipei Economic and Cultural Representative Office (embassy) in Japan.
I find it funny how much we in the west demonize China while we have attacked them, colonized them, consistently tampered with them, didn't recognize the PRC till the late 70s.

China has never laid a finger on the west, we did, yet we keep demonizing them, meddling in their own business (HK, e.g.) all while we fight wars all around the globe, spy everyone and overthrow governments left and right.

When you wrote “5 years is generally the highest [term] at which you don’t etc.” it sounded as if you meant that for a term of say 10 years you did etc. [The spread between the 5y and the 10y rates is around 100bps.] There is quite a range of terms higher than 5 and lower than 25.

Ukraine is holding out extremely well and poised to achieve an unconditional victory. It's victory comes at a price, but one that any free and independent nation prides itself of paying.
Absolutely but CG-NAT would be NAT444 (i.e. double NAT to dual stack) not NAT64. I mean they probably did try NAT64 based on the description of the botched 1st attempt but CG-NAT would have negated the need for NAT64 in the first place. Putting a x464 CLAT that can gateway/NAT the local network everywhere would definitely achieve the same functional goal though, just more ISP devices.
I think I read that a while back, which is the main reason I'm able to get past the "visceral reaction" as he so aptly put it. The part about separation of concerns being a false hope and bad framing rings true: "concerns" in software are hazily defined at the best of times. Thinking about dependency between CSS and HTML also makes sense. But I don't really like his examples, and I'm not convinced his evidence reaches quite as far as his final conclusion. For one thing ".author-bio" should have been "#author-bio".

Thinking out loud, now: the problem of CSS and HTML depending on each other makes me think of the dependency inversion principle. Basically, make both of them depend on some common interface or protocol, so they can change independently. Utility classes are in the same territory, but I don't think it's reasonable to demand that the shared language be app-independent, or put another way, to demand that a library author relieve you of the burden of naming your domain objects.

I suspect the ideal approach is app-specific "content-agnostic" classes, defined in terms of some library of helpful classes that are not themselves directly invoked in HTML, with #ids as needed for specialization. But I don't know, maybe I'll just try to the tailwind thing out on a new project.
