>I've heard that theory but it still doesn't quite make sense to me.

At a high level commercial real estate valuation cares about the cash flows for the entire building (usually over 10 years) and a discount rate to get to a number on what the building is worth. When we see empty space, we think it's not making money, but all landlords assume that a space will be empty at some point and for some amount of time, so that's already baked into those cashflows.

Without getting into the specifics, you'll generally push out your assumptions on leasing that empty space rather than drop your price on cost of the space. Pushing out assumptions typically means taking a slight hit because the cashflows you were already expecting are just hitting the books a little later. Dropping the cost of the space generally decreases market value, so that makes all of the space in your building cheaper which has a much more significant impact on the cash flow for the entire building, rather than just one space.

The other significant factor is that landlords typically have significant upfront costs in base building improvements and free rent credits that they give to tenants. This means that there's a certain amount of time, generally a few years, where the landlord has paid out more money to the tenant than they've received. Landlords need to be confident that the tenant is going to be paying rent beyond that break even point, or else they've lost money in addition to losing out the ability to rent it to another tenant and any legal fees associated with evicting a tenant.

Between how valuations are structured and needing to hit that breakeven point with a new tenant, there are relatively few incentives for landlords to just "lease the space".
I'm not sure you understood what I'm saying.

My point is that the FDIC refunding more than 250k wasn't a bailout of the banks because FDIC insured banks are the ones who fund the FDIC.
In my experience, vouching becomes available once a post is [dead], not simply [flagged].
It's pretty simple. If anybody gets money on an Apple device, Apple wants its cut.

Nobody makes money without giving Don Cook his share.
> Red Hat pulls together hundreds or thousands of upstreams to create RHEL, participates in many of them, tests all that together, helps partners certify software against it, etc. etc. etc.
> It's true, Red Hat doesn't "own" the Linux kernel, but it's done a ton to help develop it over the years. But RHEL is not merely the kernel nor any single upstream. RHEL is a product that comprises thousands of packages all tested together and then released as a supported product.
> What Red Hat is trying to guard is not the source code to any single or even groups of projects. It's trying to preserve and capture the value it created from all those parts. Coincidentally, that value is what businesses, competitors, and the community are clamoring for and not the source code alone.

That's a point that (unfortunately) seems to have been lost along the way. A big part of the reason why people use(d) CentOS was because of the confidence they had that it'd be stable, functional, receive timely security updates, etc. And the main reason that was true is the work RedHat put into RHEL.

That said, it's not entirely a one-way street. The widespread use of CentOS meant much wider support for RHEL by open-source packages (and some closed source ones) than a locked down, limited availability RHEL would have had. I know of places that use RHEL because CentOS is widely available, and of places that would never bother to support RHEL if it weren't for the availability and (near) ubiquity of CentOS.
> I’m not sure why.

The general state of the global economy, late-stage capitalism fucking everyone who isn't a literal millionaire over, climate change, general political instability, the mentioned rise of authoritarianism, etc. All of those are vastly more influential than "social media, enshittification thereof".
I wish they all supported arbitrary pixel layouts. My QD-OLED has a triangular layout that leads poor looking text no matter what ClearType settings are selected. (Between GDI and DirectWrite, the font rendering system in Windows is a mess). WOLED has similar issues due an RWBG layout.
Yes, but that's because they do the dirty work themselves. The dirty work is still being done. It's marginally better that they don't "sell" the data, but their collection and use of it is still horrible.
Seems like an argument about system-driven and component-driven risk analyses - they both have their place, and they're not mutually exclusive. Risk-based approaches aren't about either removing all risk or paying attention to only the highest priority ones. Instead, they are about managing and tracking risk at acceptable levels based on threat models and the risk appetites of stakeholders, and implementing appropriate mitigations.

> If the map (serialized state) and terrain (system state) differs, is it a good idea to insist on following the map?

If you're doing landscaping and the map is your requirements, yes. And that's what infrastructure is comparable to (hence Terraform's name btw)

> > Ansible will lose track of your VM if you rename it

> Sure, but so will Terraform. Or worse.

No it won't, because Terraform stores the underlying platform ID in it's state. It will just know there was a rename, and will inform you it plans on rolling it back to what you have requested in the configuration. It won't delete it. Ansible will want to recreate it, with all conflicts this could bring.

> Ansible is a superset of Terraform. It's mostly a matter of culture which tool people choose, and which you think is the easiest to use.

It's a different tool for a different job (at which it isn't great due to using a markup language which really doesn't lend itself to templating with lots of templating, and a dynamic language that suffers from version and dependency hell).

I don't think I've ever successfully petitioned anything from any government, local or state, much less federal. I've tried. Our governments don't seem to be set up to respond to your average constituents at all, just rich businesspeople and politicos.

These days it's all about culture wars and inflation, and no representative cares about day to day services and infrastructure.
My kids love Istanbul by TMBG, but I never knew the history. Something I can share with them the next time it comes on. I hope for the sake of the subject of the song they didn’t have a date in Constantinople. I’m sure it would have been relatively chaotic, and romance might not have been a priority ;-)
> People are doing more and more self-hosting and desire PaaS-like offerings that run in their own cloud, rather than SaaS

Do you have some data to support this? This is a pretty bold claim.
I went and looked at the docs and there is supposed to be a PKG-INFO in the egg which has the ‘Requires’ statement for dependencies so it looks like I was wrong but boy those docs are bad. (Had to look at several to find the answer)
Sigh. Another government handout to big telecom, just like so many over the past 20 to 30 years. It's pretty obvious that these don't work. It needs to be easier and cheaper to build these networks out to everyday people in the first place.
This is pretty rampant across all levels of government. A couple of examples:

- Several states/counties/cities/etc add a surcharge for credit card payments or transaction/processing fees for things like vehicle registration, paying traffic tickets, obtaining court records, paying property tax, etc.

- Prisons and jails are really terrible with junk fees for both the prisoners and for systems set up for their friends/families to call or message them, send them food/sundries, etc. They also promote a system where you deposit funds in even chunks of $10, $20, $30, etc...then they keep the uneven remainder when you're no longer using their system.
Users can move to other instances on Mastodon without tremendous effort, and it seems like your main beef, about some admin limiting what you can see by capriciously de-federating left and right seems to be primarily hypothetical. Why wouldn’t one start out on a pretty open, well-connected instance, follow whomever they want (‘constructing what you want to see’), and defer worrying until/unless some actual admin actions bother you? Second, users absolutely can run their own instance for full control over federation decisions, which is, while out of reach for normies, well in the capability of most HN readers such as yourself.

I’m not even saying Mastodon or Lemmy is a good replacement for Reddit! It’s quite different and I think a Reddit-like thing offers way better threaded discussions, and find sorting through Twitter-style reply chains far, far worse than upvoted comments! But I’m still puzzled by the critiques you’ve chosen on the fediverse.
My first job was at Industrial Light and Magic during the first star wars prequels and paid $11/hr, with OT after 8 hours, so about $32k/yr. If you didn't like it, others were lined up around the block.

I wouldn't do that now, but at the time it was like getting paid to attend a university that was waaaay more interesting than my actual university. The company was still very bohemian and you had access to the people that wrote the book on digital and practical effects.

There can be huge value, especially for junior engineers in having certain companies on your resume. ILM opened up every single door of every VFX or animation house. I'm sure spaceX would have similar benefits.

You just need to make sure the benefit is worth your time.
I don't upvote jokes out of principle but this was pretty funny
Yes people glance at their phone while walking. Just like drivers glance at their phone while driving (or fiddle with those stupid touch-screens that are ubiquitous now).

But just like there aren't many drivers who would stare intently at their phone while driving through a busy intersection, there aren't many pedestrians that will stare intently at a phone while crossing a busy street. It's simple self-perservation.

Also, phones have been around for ages now. Pedestrians are being hit and killed at a higher rate since the pandemic started, not since the wide adoption of cellphone technology.

Don't forget that the FSF was selling binaries as a fundraising opportunity for a while as part of the Deluxe Distribution they'd sell for $5000, and before that Stallman was selling copies of GNU Emacs on tapes for $250.

Selling binaries has always been a business model.

Another thing that seems to be missing from many people's mental model is that building up doesn't mean you need to destroy green spaces. In fact building up gives you more ability to create green spaces between the buildings.
What about the feeling of stagnation and not growing and not having the ability to change your situation? Some call it boreout.
The main point to take away is that healthy banks are on the hook for paying depositors through assessments charged by the FDIC.

I think there is still hope on that front. Following structured concurrency patterns like the supervisor model should handle it. See the discussion about "Notes on structured concurrency, or: Go statement considered harmful" [1].

I hate that the frequency of the bass kicks doesn't match the frequency of the eyes flashing, so they go out of sync. The eye flashing feels about 1 bpm slower than the beat.
The constitution does talk about freedom of movement. I think being able to walk from one State to another (or within) without being killed by a semi is a reasonable and compelling interest of the government that promises such freedom.

If someone dies from cutting down a tree on their property or falls down a staircase in their own home, I am not sure there is as strong of an interest from the government to correct that situation.

That is my hot take. I think a prosperous society should move in the direction of being safer in all regards, but pedestrians dying from licensed motor vehicle operators seems like the government's problem to take seriously and not pearl clutching.
It feels to me like Arduino is becoming a shill for whatever processor companies want to market to people. Not that there's anything wrong with the RA4M1 or anything, but Arduino seems like they are less focused on ecosystem than they used to be.
They can easily make it an option when you configure your phone for the first time.
Yeah I've also been wondering this. Would love it if anyone has similar knowledge, especially about other spices beyond Tumeric.
tl:dr they use a lead based pigment to keep it a vibrant color apparently not knowing that the pigment was lead based.
The classic example of a changing workload is a database which has a normal workload that maybe resembles a zipf or bell distribution but then someone runs exports which do full scans over large parts of the DB. These changes in workloads can be intermittent but they exist. A very similar change in workload that is well known is the pagecache for filesystems (e.g. backup doing full scan over disk and evicting everything from the cache) which is why admission policies were invented in the first place. So you have two different algorithms already. Just maybe not adaptive.

A friend of mine works on a online-shop / distribution system that during most of the day has a zipf like distribution but after normal working hours when retail shops close he gets completely different patterns as the shops push their data for the day into the system and then all kinds of BI tools run for a few hours.

Of course adaptive caches are never completely optimal because it takes time for them to learn which workload is actually currently happening but after a while they can get very close. A good adaptive cache should not need tuning to get good results because the whole reason for it to be adaptive is to tune itself. Of course there are quite a few adaptive caches, especially the first ones that pioneered this, that still needed tuning.

I don't understand the last question. You say you can't see how FIFO can fail catastrophically and at the same time state a case how it can. Scanning workloads are something that does show up in the real world all the time. NovaX seems to have run your algorithm through some traces where it had a near zero hitrate. It can be more important to avoid these extreme cases than having a slightly better hitrate in the normal case.
Why not use Go? They have one of the best networking stacks among language standard libraries, excellent support for low latency soft real-time concurrent operations, and single binary deployment is trivial.
I think the problem isn't that we don't know what effective policies would look like, but a political one.
Needs a recursive function iterating through JS frameworks of the past 20 years.
This is exactly why we need to eliminate all defined benefit pension plans and switch workers to defined contribution plans such as 401(k). Traditional pension plans are just too risky because the managers often make bad decisions. Defined contribution plans invested in low-cost target date mutual funds are much safer.
I'd rather have some of column A and some of column B, honestly.
SQL was invented in the 70s, and by 2003 had most of the features you will ever use. New stuff gets added over time, and some of it is useful (JSON support), but 99% of use cases are covered by extremely simple stuff that has always been there.

Database normalization (1NF, 3NF, BCNF, etc) is worth knowing about when designing any kind of datastore. At least consider the tradeoffs of breaking BCNF. Almost all work on this was done in the 70s.

Linear algebra always turns up in unexpected places. Traditionally you would see it mostly in anything even vaguely related to computer graphics, but now it turns out to be quite useful for ML as well. Mostly stuff from the late 1800s, some a couple millennia older.

TCP/IP is mostly unchanged since the 70s, ARP is from the 80s, and HTTP1.0 is from the 90s. Combine those 4 and you have a good mental model of how the network stack works, even if HTTP3.0 is a bit more fancy.

Linux and Windows are quite different from each other, but the broad strokes of each hasn't changed much in the last two decades. For example knowing how they manage memory or how their respective thread schedulers work is potentially useful (though Linux thread schedulers do change from time to time. Windows seems to be happy with the architecture of theirs though).

Backus–Naur Form is an incredibly useful notation for describing context-free grammars. Stuff like valid syntax of a programming language, or how an address can look like. It's from the late 50s, though predecessors reach back much further. Extended Backus–Naur Form from the 90s is probably what you want to use today, it has an ISO standard and a great wikipedia page.
Why not SLES?
That seems like a separate concern from productivity though, no? Whether you build the right thing is distinct from whether you produce a thing.
It isn't all or nothing. Imagine the government we could have if we all paid 90% in taxes - except I don't want that. I don't even want the kind of government that needs a budget of 40% of my income.

If you live in a rural area, the government needs a budget to repair infra and run a few programs, it doesn't need the budget of NYC. Likewise, a government that lacks a sales tax mechanism doesn't "need to get the money elsewhere", it can simply go without and adjust it's services accordingly.
If you're consuming it as a supplement it's a lot cheaper (and safer) to just make it yourself. The process is basically: cut it up into thin slices, dry it out in the oven, grind it up.

If you're not taking it in supplement quantities, then I'm not sure I'd be tremendously worried about any other contamination...
That's easy. Everyone on about computers as a thing wants newer and better computers. The average person thinks computers are crappy and stick to the large platforms if they have to use them.

s/computers/furniture/, or kitchen ware (cooking), or any other daily thing that some people have significantly above-average interest in.

This also goes for software: word processors, machine learning frameworks, browsers.
Of course it makes sense. Pain is the universal teacher. It's why every organism that can move under its own power experiences pain. We are extremely good at learning pain avoidance. We even used to hit adults (and far worse) to get them to behave. So yes, of course it makes sense. Whether it results in positive outcomes is the only legitimate question.
Did you mean Tim Apple?
Something happened around 2010, it seems. Followed by another big jump in 2020. We've had big SUVs and trucks a lot longer than 2010, so my thought is that something else changed. Smartphones maybe. And we all know what happened in 2020. Many people still haven't relearned how to drive sanely after that fiasco, though I'm not sure why.
I never realised older scientific equipment even has interfaces for plugging in third party tools! I'm curious, how often do you actually have to make stuff that interfaces with older lab equipment when developing new equipment. And a follow up question would be: is this something you do in house, or do you sell this as a service/products?

And if you're allowed to go into detail, can you give a high level example of this (too low level might go over my head).
I don't think it's "the customer". I think it's you and some other folks who are in a relatively narrow customer niche who are very big on convenience and grew up on paper menus, making those feel convenient.

I'd add that the whole purpose of a restaurant isn't convenience for the customer. That's the purpose of going there for many customers, which should of course be honored. But the purpose of them for restaurateurs are generally on the order of "make an enjoyable living", which involves convenience for them too. As with almost anything social, the outcome must balance the desires of all involved.
one thing people don't realize is, serious injury on the job isn't necessarily bad!

It could be that the job was just too dangerous and difficult for you. You will be removed from the jobsite, and maybe that is what you wanted all along. Someone else that wants to have a job can take the one you left. And your employer gets a benefit from getting a fresh, uninjured person.
Engineering assessment of the OceanGate Titan failure
I'm curious as to the reasoning behind why someone apparently disagrees with that.
Yes of course, my attitude is "problematic", says your intersectional feminist neo marxist ideas. Because I can't have a conversation about men without all that shit popping up.

The patriarchy is successfully being attacked from all directions. Intersectionality is stronger than ever. Class is as fluid as it's ever been in the history of man kind. How do you explain that men issues are getting worse and worse in these conditions? It looks like feminism is not helping the gender it is not about. But that can't be, right? Feminism is for everybody, hence the gender neutral name and constant praise and support for men. Ooooh, that's it, I got it now. I'm the problem. Silly me.

And if all of the above is too wordy for you: get off my gender problems lawn with that toxic shit. Go eat it on a feminist topic and call it strawberry vanilla tasting for all I care. Just don't get too close to me cause your mouth stinks.

I think this is less common in Portland because of those smaller stations with the pumps closer in proximity to each other. Out in Beaverton you'll notice the larger stations tend to block off half the pumps and the pumps have huge spaces between them. The Chevron Extra Mile station off Scholls Ferry for example had half the station coned off two weekends ago. The Walker Rd stations tend to do this regularly as well.
