I can agree on that too.

Fediverse, and Lemmy in particular, has "good bones" on it. But the software desperately needs to fix a bunch of bugs. They weren't quite ready for #RedditBlackout, but who would be?

I'm thinking more from the perspective of kbin vs Lemmy. I don't think anyone's noted kbin bugs. kbin.social grew to over 35k+ users this past weekend, so they're also having a substantial boost from #RedditBlackout.

Community has somewhat arbitrarily chosen Lemmy as the first project to check out. Nothing wrong with that. I think I'll try kbin.social soon and see if my experiences are better. Especially since kbin.social is federating with Beehaw.org, Lemmy.world and other instances.

--------

But I feel like the choice of front-end is important. Little differences, like @community (kbin) vs !community (Lemmy) will make things incompatible in the long run. So a community needs to choose whether to be on kbin-side or lemmy-side of the fediverse.
I personally don’t understand why the some exceptionally wealthy billionaire in California doesn’t solve the homelessness problem themselves

If you were an exceptionally wealthy billionaire, how would you solve it? Especially considering that the obvious approach of "build housing" is largely illegal.
Are you sure those are two different things? Those 100 companies provide energy, food, transportation, consumer goods etc to many of those 8 billion people. By regulating them you are pushing change on their customers as well.
Oh, yeah, that doesn’t bother me either. When the lanes get really faint and I have to drive for a bit, that’s fine.

I guess it comes down to preference. I see it as assistance. I want a helper who maybe can’t do it all, but never fucks up.
>inter.tube will likely die

TBH the first sign of adversity and you're already looking to call it quits. Its not a real big selling point
Alot of this is due to the policy decisions of Ed Lee(ex SF mayor). He authorized tax breaks for a bevy of tech companies to operate in the tenderloin tax free(for a few years). The reason for this was to revitalize a blighted neighborhood with an infusion of highly paid tech workers. This is turn lead to a huge amount of tech employees moving to one of the worst areas in SF. Sf for sure is falling apart but I did spend some time recently in the sunset and things seemed pretty normal over there - at least in broad daylight, but everywhere else I visited was not great at all.

I can only speak for myself, but I normally only feel full after eating a much larger amount of food than other people. There is a point where I feel like I can't (or shouldn't) fit more food in my stomach, but it only happens after I've eaten thousands of calories.

Like the GP, I am now on semaglutide, and the difference is remarkable. I now have a new sensation where I just don't want to eat more -- it takes mental effort to force down additional food even if my stomach is mostly empty. It's still easier to eat sweets than healthier food, but the overall reduction in appetite more than makes up for it.
I just added a 50GB plan for $1.50/month. Check it out and let me know if anything is messed up.
I think the focus on nature might be a byproduct or reaction to modern jobs, technology and creature comforts decreasing the participation people have with the world around them. This makes it easy to want to return to a time (real or not) where people lived harder but more fulfilling lives, with camping and games offering ways to act out this ideal.

Of course a desire for a return to nature is not necessarily "modern", see for example Walden, but I think the degree of disconnect has increased to the point it is harder to ignore for a larger number of people.
Much appreciated. I was actually looking into a few options for this exact same thing. I will give this shot right away.

Well, I am pretty sure there's an upside to planting a tree. Especially in this age of deforestation. The water equation is pretty normal for almonds.

Its true, planting them in deserts (the central valley of california) is a bad idea. I only point out that there's nothing particularly bad about an almond tree vis-a-vis any other tree. Planted elsewhere, there would likely be no issue.
SLC has a strong startup ecosystem, and around Provo these days also; it also gives you easy access to outdoor activity if you are into hiking and skiing (typical of west coast and mountain towns). The density of tech jobs is surely higher than Detroit, if not absolute numbers. Detroit has presences but they all seem to be tiny (~100 people each?), is it really considered a hot place for tech these days?
And the experience of the OP is actually mild at that. I lived 2 blocks from Union Square, on Geary st, back in 2011/2012. I witnessed Sin City. Dead bodies, naked and drugged prostitute offering services, homeless woman blowing a homeless man for hit of his crack pipe, pimps beating a prostitute. Gangs shooting at each others a killing a tourist...

At the time I couldn't afford to live in the nice neighborhood. But even then, it's insane that all of that happens 400m away from Macy's, jewelery stores, expensive and fancy restaurants etc.
because they don't want the apps to stick around. that's why they're not negotiating, that's why they made the pricing so high (also to take advantage of AI scrapers), that's why they're making a bogeyman out of tpa devs.
The recent moves by Tesla have probably been to force the government to amend regulations that would standardize the CCS Type 1 connector for DC fast charging. These rules were announced in February by the Biden administration for projects funded by the National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure Program.

If Tesla hadn't gotten others on board, the next 5 years would likely see CCS chargers eclipse the Supercharger network many times over with probably 5-7x more CCS chargers as Tesla chargers. As people in this thread have said, the Supercharger network is a big selling point for Teslas. If CCS charging availability were 5-7x greater than Tesla availability, that current advantage would become a liability for Tesla over the long-run.

Given that GM, Ford, and Rivian are all announcing that they're adopting the CCS charger, it seems likely that the government will probably change their regulations around charging standards to the Tesla charger. If the three largest American EV companies are all using NACS in 2025, it makes little sense for them to mandate CCS chargers. With Tesla, Ford, Rivian, and GM all going NACS, it seems likely that more will follow. Hyundai is already thinking about it: https://www.autoblog.com/2023/06/20/hyundai-to-consider-join.... Stellantis (Chrysler, Jeep, Dodge, Fiat) is evaluating it: https://fordauthority.com/2023/06/ford-rival-stellantis-look....

In fact, Tesla had to make its connector non-proprietary or they'd be locked out of everything funded by the National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure Program. The rules allow for non-CCS chargers to be available (as long as there's also a CCS charger) only if they're non-proprietary. If Tesla had kept their connector proprietary, any charger with a Tesla connector would be ineligible for government funding. Now, they can have a Tesla connector as long as they also have a CCS connector. As I've speculated, given that it seems likely most EVs sold in the US will be using NACS from 2025+, it seems likely that the government will even change its rules to favor the NACS connector.

Tesla's shift to calling it the North American Charging Standard and opening it up to competitors is probably more about preventing one of their advantages (Tesla vehicles being compatible with the most charging stations) into a major liability (Tesla vehicles requiring an adapter to use the majority of charging stations in 2025+).

Figma was a bargain for Adobe.

Figma, if they put their minds to it could kill photoshop and illustrator within 2 years, and After Effects/Premier within 5.

Even given 5 years Adobe's current talent wont be able to build Figma, we know this already from Adobe XD and every other failed new app attempt.

It's been evident for a while that almost no one at Adobe understands how their apps work anymore, every feature update just ads welcome screens (written in HTML) or slower new document screens (written in HTML). The only recent update to the AE UI outside of welcome screens, the timeline reskinning is completely broken.
For almost all the things I would use tcl for, I would instead pick whatever scripting language my team happens to be most comfortable with, with an eye on any larger company norms. In my various organizations, this has usually meant one of:

- python

- nodejs

- bash

Of those, I personally would prefer bash as the “organizer of commands,” but that’s probably not surprising from someone who would learn tcl for fun.

Usually, the use case for these things is some combination of gluing programs together or gluing programs to the specifics of their OS. In that regard you might think, that picking a language specific for the problem at hand would be wise. But pragmatically, I believe you want devs who are mostly focused on feature work in their own programs to nevertheless be able to “bring their head above the water” and still have immediate intuition about how to swim. So even though nodejs might suck for this, it’s also extremely approachable for somebody who spends all their days in js.

I am really drawn to the idea of doing all of this in something like nix, but I tried it and didn’t have time to get past the learning curve. And that points to the other issue:

You’re probably going to need to glue rpm scripts, Dockerfiles, specific system tools which have different amounts of portability, etc. At the end of the day, if there’s a “lingua franca” for the organization, it usually makes sense to use it so that nobody needs to spend any time becoming accustomed to the idioms of some unfamiliar language while they are simultaneously dealing with the unfamiliar terrain of dealing with other systems that they have very incomplete knowledge of.

If there’s no lingua franca, I default to bash as a larger lingua franca
Uh? If you use `%w` in fmt.Errorf(), it should still work with .Is and .As?
sure, but this is not about the definition of toxic, which is pretty clear and i don't think there is any disagreement about that. the point is that different things are toxic to different people. someone may not be bothered by guns, even when they don't care about them, and someone else may find any support of guns utterly despicable because maybe any mention of them triggers some kind of trauma they experienced. ok, so maybe it's not right to call this toxic, but that's why i used the term "uncomfortable' myself, and i don't think the specific difference is important. just possibly it could be argued that 'toxic' is to narrow. you want to avoid these people either way.
I posted about this before and one commenter said something that stayed with me. Something along the lines of if all the people that feared having children due to climate change didn't have children, the only people having children would be those who had no fear of climate change. This would obviously affect the overall perspective of those in our society and skew them toward non-believers who don't push toward action on climate change.

Kurzgesagt has a great video that touches on this - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LxgMdjyw8uw
they already did make it explicit. https://www.reddit.com/r/Infinity_For_Reddit/comments/14c7v8...
Yeah but in general this is basically impossible to predict we could discover P=NP, or prove the Riemmean Hypothesis, learn how to factor in O(log n), find a number theory method to solve discrete logs, or any number of math facts that would absolutely devastate Asymmetric crypto. In general is really hard to find strong crypto-systems let alone proving that the problem is unsolvable
The feeling of full is still there. That's not the issue. The issue is that you don't feel satisfied unless you're full.

Whereas people like my wife can feel satisfied before they are full. After Semaglutide, I now feel satisfied before I'm full, and then the full feeling comes after.

Effectively stopping me from overeating both the amount in a single meal, and then the meals in between.
HN makes much more sense if you think of it as a collection of chat rooms with titles. People are upvoting the topic and discussing benzene, mostly unconnected to the actual article. (Serious question: did anyone who upvoted the post read the article first?)
Undb handles reference for you, which is always most hard/difficult part to handle in most lowcode system, so it's not just a database frontend. It's like MS access when you link reference in the access ui, but undb can also handle lookup & rollup in browser
True. Here in Iowa we water our corn like god intended - the water falls from the sky.
Show HN: Kadeck – UI and Monitoring for Kafka, Kinesis, Redpanda
Hello, I'm Ben, one of the developers of Kadeck

Kadeck is a UI for Apache Kafka, Amazon Kinesis and Redpanda clusters. It makes it easier to troubleshoot and optimize streaming data applications and infrastructure.

You can install Kadeck on your desktop or on a server (for teams) - you can get both of them here:

https://www.kadeck.com/get-kadeck

I always welcome feedback from streaming data developers and operators - what would you like better visibility into? Or make easier to manage, change, or share.

And since we are now in the process of adding new monitoring features like topic/cluster healthchecks...I'm very interested in Kafka/Kineses/Redpanda use cases you think we should monitor?

Thanks!
Ben
Right, but the ecosystem is nowhere near as robust as that of the other two platforms, as evidenced by the wealth of apps that solve OP's problem.

Lots of people have Rokus but not very many people are developing for them.
Samsung once had this problem with their in-house cores.
Right. Personally I'd be much happier using an STRef. The code is much more explicit.
Much like online casinos that lets you quickly register and deposit, but will ask for ID verification when cashing out.
Yeah, but that's probably because your centre channel is relatively smaller than on the cinema audio systems the 5.1 track was designed for. So setting it to +7dB at home is probably normal/expected.

After all, (Tenet aside) we don't experience these problems at actual cinemas, where the centre channel is a huge speaker stack behind the screen, and the surrounds are relatively small by comparison. But I agree that it's a common issue on on home setups.
I'm not really saying that they're all against research, but I just find it interesting how few people seem to realize that the mental health community is insanely anti-drug. It's like a purity cult.

Also, it seems to strangely follow cultural tendencies. So cigs are unhealthy but okay, you can drink a little, have your coffee and now some cannabis is okay, but no psychedelics, stimulants, etc... they really seem to be pulling bullshit out of their ass.

I get the reason why drugs are viewed as such a problem, but I think it's crazy that people aren't considering mass discrimination and stigmatization by the medical community as a problem in mental health and drug addiction... it's wild. I haven't heard a single mention of this, and I follow this issue.

So many people acting like doctors are part of the solution when they're one of the biggest parts of the problem. One of the most dangerous things you can do is talk your doctor if you have an issue with mental health or substance.
The various interpretations are really fascinating. I didn't know about them. From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Last_words_of_Julius_Caesar:

>Though Suetonius, Cassius Dio and probably Plutarch as well seem to have believed that Caesar died without saying anything further, the first two reported that according to others Caesar had spoken the Greek phrase "καὶ σύ τέκνον" (Kaì sý, téknon - You too, child) to Brutus, as (in Suetonius) or after (in Dio) the latter struck at him.

>The subject of this comment is, like in antiquity, almost universally believed to have been directed at Marcus Junius Brutus, who was the son of Caesar's favourite mistress Servilia, and was said to have been very dear to Caesar, but there has been speculation that the words may have actually been meant to be said to Decimus Junius Brutus Albinus with whom Caesar also had a very close relationship and on several occasions described as "like a son to him". Both men were rumoured at the time in Rome to be Caesar's illegitimate children. The possibility that Marcus Junius Brutus, however, was Caesar's son was viewed sceptically by ancient historians and broadly rejected by modern ones.

>While téknon is often translated as "son", the word is gender-neutral and is more literally "child" or "offspring". The intended message of the term has also been interpreted as endearment, or an insult, and as a claim of actual paternity, though historians believe this is unlikely. The phrase's status as a question has been debated.

>It has been argued that the phrase can be interpreted as a curse or warning instead, along the lines of "you too will die like this" or "may the same thing happen to you"; Brutus later stabbed himself to death, or rather threw himself onto a blade held by an attendant. One hypothesis states that the historic Caesar adapted the words of a Greek sentence which to the Romans had long since become proverbial: the complete phrase is said to have been "You too, my son, will have a bite of power", of which Caesar only needed to invoke the opening words to foreshadow Brutus' own violent death, in response to his assassination.

I wasn't aware it was in Greek, and wasn't aware that there was a famous quote/proverb "kai su, teknon, tes arkhes hemon paratrokse" ("you too, my son, will have a bite of power") that it may have been referring to.
I think of scripts as a sub-type of program; it is more appropriate to contrast it to a library, such that the intent changes a few expectations about how the program is built and maintained.

A script is specifically a program intended to perform a user process.

Scripts may be maintained by the "user" who has knowledge of the process, rather than the domain or software engineering. Things like style guides don't matter for a script if just needs to gets the job done. They may be messy and easier to replace than refactor if the process or environment change.

In Python I also make the distinction that a script (can) use hyphens in the name, which can be executed, e.g. `python do-thing.py`, but can't be imported through a typical `import` statement (because they generally shouldn't be).

As you say, this isn't really _important_. Scripts _can be_ well written and follow engineering principles. I just use this distinction to recognize the need for these "fast and loose" programs, where there's more emphasis on making a thing happen than maintaining the code.

By saying, "This is a script," I'm really saying, "I don't expect to put a lot of energy into it."
The problem most newspapers face is that they have to compete with the New York Times, Washington Post and Wall Street Journal and none of them can. (And USA TODAY has always been garbage, long before the internet.)

The only categories in which my local paper can compete and win in are local high school sports, local politics and local crime reporting. And that's not much of a business model.
Do Bees Play?
In this day and age, I find it impossible to remember so much with all the noise.

What I have done is try to utilize the technique in the book Building a Second Brain along with the ideas from How to Take Smart Notes regarding the slipbox method.

My app of choice is Obsidian backed by a notes repo that is synced to a private git repo. This gives me access to all of my notes on any device I have.

The one issue I have not worked out exactly is how to review ideas on some frequency. I kind of feel Anki spaced repetition method does not really fit what I want to do with these free form ideas.
It's bad idea to generalize it. Just surround yourself with children, old people and pets and experience loneliness vanish into thin air. It really depends on type of crowd around you.
We live in absolute best time in human history to expect your kids to have a good life. Climate change is tiny compared to the technical and medical revolutions humanity has experienced.
I think those people saying "just eat less" aren't implying that you won't feel hungry, but are instead thinking "you're killing yourself by being obese, better to suffer and feel somewhat hungry all the time than to die 10-15 years earlier".
Discord has a good official client, Reddit no longer has any good client.

Of course, the wheel of enshittening could land on Discord someday. But for now it's a pleasure to use while Reddit is a chore.

Conversation doesn't have to be visible on search engines. The last thing I did on Reddit was to remove all my comments anyway. If I can feel more anonymous and ephemeral on Discord that's not a bad thing.
Are you finding one community more pragmatic than the other?

The fundamental issue I found with Lemmy was the refusal to accept the onboarding process as being off putting to reasonable people I would want to interact with in an online community.
SHA1 is definitely not in the category "will not break in 100 years given current knowledge".
It's not geo-arbitrage, the extra income is a side benefit. For me personally, I'm happier in these parts, and I too lived in very many places. I enjoy the slower pace of life, greater sense of community, and lesser individualism. Living in the West today feels like constant competition. But of course it's far from perfect and not for everyone.
The only city where I haven’t found the “hill effect” to be true is Pittsburgh. It seems every hilltop area there is quite bad.
You're just arguing semantics at this point.

Sure, the author admits that violent crime rate is under control. But, implicit in his post, is the fact that this is only the case because residents adopt behavioral patterns that remove them from violent crime scenes.

Imagine you live in a neighborhood where walking on the right side of the street results in immediate decapitation. While it's true that you can simply always walk on the left side of the street and be 100% safe, most people would not call that a safe neighborhood.
I have written a few functional programming languages built on lambda calculus based backends, but I've had problems with compiling it efficiently; it's hard (at least to me)! I find that combinator based compilers are difficult, but very elegant; I've written a few in the past but problems always spring up when trying to evaluate expressions properly AND do side-effects correctly. I would love to pursue writing a combinator compiler, but I haven't yet come up with a good system of combinators that can represent I/O and foreign functions properly; although this probably isn't even as difficult as writing a compiler to a Turing-tape architecture.
I experienced something very similar. I was very lonely and very depressed at one point in high school and while sadly walking home one evening, a group of 5 or 6 high school girls enthusiastically approached me at a nearby shopping area and asked if I was ok. They asked who I was friends with and told them no one, really. Which was true and not just me being dramatic. They all cheerily told me they’d be my friends. Even though I mostly knew it was just lip service at the time, it still hurt to hear it and have it be dangled in front of me like that. Obviously I never heard or saw them ever again. This was right before cell phones were popular with kids so it wasn’t natural to ask for numbers bc most of us didn’t have one.

As an uplifting note, I’m happy and much less lonely 20+ years later :)
