It's starting to feel like Europe.

In Belgium you couldn't drive a miles without being recorded on some ALPR camera.

Speed cameras everywhere. And the current rage is average speed cameras. So they take your photo on an on-ramp and when you take the exit they'll calculate the average. Above the speed limit: ticket. With no way of facing your accuser in court. The machine said so...

Fwiw nginx does do this correctly. I'm not sure what httpd does differently that it doesn't mimic this behavior.
Not done yet, unfortunately. That's why it's not public yet.

But it will be based on a state management system (aka build system) that is almost done.

Can you tell me what is sharp about runit? I will have a better chance of avoiding the same mistakes if I know exactly what annoys users about it.
I wrote this. React Experimental has added `useFormStatus` hook, which might be unintuitive if you are coming to this from something like Remix where you use something like this:

const navigation = useNavigation();
// navigation.state === "submitting"

that code works in a "global" scope, but useFormStatus only works if your component is a child of the form you want to get the status for. In practical terms, this means that you can create, say, a submit button component and use it there, but you can't easily use that state higher up, for example, if you want to add class to a pending form.

This is a pretty simple utility that will give you more control over where that state can be accessed

I once had to deal with an site that would be fine with a ' in the password when setting it, but would throw a mysterious error every time you tried to log in.

For about 2 years I reset my password many times, always to the same one and that would also log me in. I just figured the site was broken for me but this worked and contacting support is rarely helpful for stuff like this so whatever, until it suddenly dawned on me the ' might be the "problem".
I believe that there's very likely intelligent life elsewhere in the universe, there are ~300 billion stars in just in our galaxy, and the number of stars in the universe are uncountable, one estimate is 7 x 10^22. Not all have planets, of course, and even fewer have planets in what is believed to be a habitable zone.

But still, it's just unfathomable that in billions of years across billions of trillions of star systems, that only one developed intelligent life. Even on earth, life was nearly destroyed 5 times, but still survived and evolved.

Of course, it's very likely that such life will be forever undetectable by us, and we'll be undetectable by them.
Of course, that begs the question of why it's being removed in the first place; if it's really that modular, it shouldn't be any effort to maintain.

Unfortunately I think this is kind of a cope the remote people on the team use to feel ok about it (I've been that person quite a bit). But the people having coffee and lunch together more regularly just do form closer bonds and that matters. I don't think it matters as much as a lot of executives want everyone to believe it does, and I think remote work has giant benefits that aren't obviously or always or even usually overcome by "face time", but it's not not a real thing.

I get the disdain. Beyond just reacting to change, systemv is fully scripted and thus a lot more accessible - one can read the source and understand what is happening fully once the kernel is done. On the other hand with systemd I feel we get this opaque magical complexity encroaching into previously fully grokkable user space and that is very hard to take, regardless of actual pros and cons.
There are plenty of men who have no gross moral fault, who are still excluded from their kids' lives by a wife who divorces him and gets custody. Stigmatizing divorce would help that. In divorces that occur in the US, close to 80% of the time it's by women; close to 90% when the woman is college-educated. The vast majority of divorces are not predicated on a gross moral fault by the man, but on unhappiness by the woman, growing apart, found a new guy, whatever. The woman in those cases is thus putting her own happiness above the wellbeing of her kids. So a stigmatization of divorce by society could work very well. It worked very well historically. Women are not more important than children. In fact, half of children are girls who also need fathers. And a woman-centric view of defining morality is just another demonstration of the problem of society's current disregard for men, boys, and the male experience.
Instead of writing init scripts (that are far too often done wrong compared to what some lunatics say "ITS SIMPLE", even by big software packages) you just put like 5-10 lines in a text file (hell, aside from boilerplate/info about service you need like... one in many cases)

How's that "extinguising" anything?
It seems kinda useful to me. Like, the normal problem looks much less like ‘we took competent professionals over a long time’ and much more like ‘we took 10 undergraduates over a month or two’.

If you add up employed engineers at google-like companies (by which I mean large tech companies), you’ll quickly come to hundreds of thousands, and there are plenty of other companies who hire similar people. I think Google employees are reasonably uniformly distributed across that population (that is it isn’t like the Google has the best X% of them) and I think a study of such people is more interesting to me than a study of undergraduates (or indeed a study of programming language enthusiasts). I think an unrepresentative thing about Google is that they may use C++ more than many newer tech companies, and this might help for learning that.
Disney is still a mostly theme park company, right? Everything else is secondary to that. I’ve seen only one of their latest movies, Guardians of the Galaxy 3, and it was great.
What about the many alternatives to old media that are now available? Video games, TikTok, Instagram, WhatsApp, Reddit, HN, etc are all ways to spend time that do not involve money going to the old media companies.
> There's no proof that SpaceX is even cash flow positive.

And you have no proof otherwise. You just assert it without evidence.

And you disagree with everybody that has studied this topic. Pretty much everybody that has estimated cost comes down on the side that SpaceX core launch business is very profitable.

Tons of investors who had insight into this information seem to believe it was a good investment. If the numbers showed that it didn't make sense the whole credibility of Starlink and Starship would instantly collapse.

We don't have detailed numbers but its simply not credible that they have been launching for losing money.
At least, yes.
In the theory above, this is one government faction (some group in congress) trying to force the hand of another (pentagon? CIA?).

If you view “the US government” add some monolithic entity with a single set of objectives then sure, the above makes no sense.

These are... very much not guaranteed in my experience. For a lot of these products, they may as well go away when they switch to a model that is 10x more expensive unless you gut features 3-4 years down the road, and it's not clear the improvements they make are to the benefit of existing customers vs chasing new ones.
This doesn't exist right now, and in the form it did, it's up to the child to take it. A parent can't force debt on you like that.

To say that Pix is "emerging" is an understatement. Visa basically got their market share in Brazil eaten over night. I don't see how they could any value here, integrating with Pix is straight-forward and not much different from working with other payment providers.
If your EV is worth ~2.1x the Civic, that would track (~$210 in value-scaled registration + $130 EV tax). Given how much EVs cost, that ratio wouldn’t be terribly surprising.

Is this considered new? In Canada I had an app on my phone for 100 days which tracked accelerations/break/speed. Sure it felt intrusive-ish, but the program was not mandatory so seems like a win-win. I got a 22% discount (got 96/100!) and now the app is off my phone.

I would not recommend it if you don't live in the suburbs though. Slow and steady is the name of the game, ideally you want light traffic and mostly empty roads.
Most of those sound like LXC features, and end users should be able to take advantage of them without having to be aware of how init might work on a particular distro.
> literally nobody is paying for content anymore.

That's not even remotely true. People pay for lots of subscription services; it's getting ridiculous. And we pay a very dear price indeed for getting blasted with ads and propaganda.

> nat geo magazine used to have millions of loyal subscribers.

And then Rupert Murdoch bought them. Immediately, people knew it would get strip mined to the bone and then sold off for parts. If anything, I'm surprised it hasn't been faster and uglier.

... If the negative externalities of advertising and propaganda were costed in, the entire media landscape would be wholly different. Most people can't even imagine how different.

The problem isn't that people aren't paying for content, it's that people are the product now; even when they pay.

Ferruccio and Enzo- congratulations on the launch of June! I've been very impressed by what you've built with June. I love that you've gone deep with the B2B use case- I think there's a lot of depth to that well.

> Amsterdam ... Sydney

Go ahead and find me as many doom and gloom posts about the economy in Amsterdam as here... I'll wait. Looking at the Amsterdam sub, it looks like the number of posts from people freaking out about work/homelessness/affordibility has been relatively consistent (and low volume) over the last 10 years. Vancouver on the other hand...

I'm not denying it's a "global problem" in that many cities are affected.

Yes, many other west coast cities are having a tough time (though at least jobs pay more relative to CoL in every other west coast city... even SF).

But cities like Amsterdam aren't, and people struggling in Australia are largely doing so for different reasons (politics / social attitudes rather than economy). The minimum wage there is much closer to a living wage. My friend who prefers Vancouver for nature/vibe is going back to Australia to work so he can save up some money to come back with.

Edit: Interestingly, people in the Amsterdam subreddit seem to think that Amsterdam is overall better/more affordable than Vancouver:

- https://www.reddit.com/r/Amsterdam/comments/xetw2m/comment/i...

> "i call bullshit, no fucking way that Vancouver or Calgary are more liveable than Amsterdam, no fucking way."

- https://www.reddit.com/r/Amsterdam/comments/13fdx4z/comment/...

> "Vancouver property market (both buying and rental) is much much worse than the Dutch one."

- https://www.reddit.com/r/Amsterdam/comments/xetw2m/comment/i...

For the last year, the only time I've seen posts in /r/vancouver (from people who live here) talking about it being a great city, the praise is tempered by caveats about how it's going to be a struggle unless you're wealthy
It was a military loss. When one military quits and runs away really fast that’s a loss. And it’s not the first time. When the US loses they hold a parade and say, “We left.” Such a joke. And American citizens never hold their government accountable. Instead they just believe the BS and do it all over again. Kind of amazing, really. No shame.

"At its peak in the late 1980s, National Geographic reached 12 million subscribers in the United States, and millions more overseas. Many of its devotees so savored its illumination of other worlds — space, the depths of the ocean, little-seen parts of the planet — that they stacked old issues into piles that cluttered attics and basements.[...]

The magazine was eventually surpassed for profits and attention by the society’s video operations, including its flagship National Geographic cable channel and Nat Geo Wild, a channel focused on animals. While they produced documentaries equal in quality to the magazine’s rigorous reporting, the channels — managed by Rupert Murdoch’s 21st Century Fox — also aired pseudoscientific entertainment programming about UFOs and reality series like “Sharks vs. Tunas” at odds with the society’s original high-minded vision."

What a trajectory for our civilization. Reminds me of the tidbit that Astronaut used to be the most named profession teens aspired to in the 70s and 80s. Now it's influencers. And don't call me old or jaded, I'm barely 30, I already grew up with ancient aliens on the 'history' channel.
I agree, we can debate the "this is easier scenarios all day long". One has a cheaper but perhaps less reliable indicator.

This is a really cool idea. I would use a self tracking app, especially if I could quantify, search, or visualize the findings.
hypothetically it’s pretty easy to fake the odb reader versions of these. Just buy a male to 2 female odb splitter, strip one and hook a 9 volt battery and usb charger to the power wires.

It’s not just Utah. Oregon has been talking for the better part of a decade about the best way to have EV owners help pay for road maintenance. Both the things you mention are things they have tried in large scale tests. I imagine most states are trying to figure out the same thing and coming up with solutions similar to Utah (or, more likely, Utah got the ideas from other states).

Exactly. I started one. 2 of my cofounders had 15+ years (each) of experience in Credit Suisse and Santander. They knew everything and everyone.

This would be fine except for the fact that all changes are instantly committed in realtime, which is such an incredible usability antipattern.

If Notion had to be everything-editable-by-default, make it so that changes need to be explicitly committed and saved, much the same way one would do with Git. Otherwise it becomes impossible to track down these kinds of accidental mutations to the document, much less even realize that they have occurred.

> In fact, much of my personal dislike of systemd is that it started getting popular right as I was having that revelation and got to watch a pile of shell scripts that I could just pop open in my editor get replaced with an all-encompassing black box (yes, I know it's open source, but "you could go find the source and try to read C" is not the same as "vi /etc/init.d/foo".

That theoretically is a disadvantage but practically ~90% of the systemd scripts are "point at binary, pick user, group and work dir" and entirely trivial to understand; distro ones often are a bit fancier with limiting app capabilities but those are far harder to do in init script in the first place.

For vast majority of apps it's literally just 'here is binary, run it'

And more important part is that I DON'T NEED TO EDIT ORIGINAL if I just want to add something.

I can take 100% stock distro .service file, add

Restart=always
RestartSec=60s

and now any time app dies it will auto-restart.

Or add proxy environment, or anything else, via just override files, no need to litter our repositories with modified init scripts that just have like 3 lines changed.
Jumping on the bandwagon here when it comes to having extensively used both, I second the "Interac/Fax - Pix/Internet" analogy.

I won't get into the actual implementation details of both solutions, but the way Pix changed the finance landscape of Brazil is something else.

The major difference for me personally is the fact that Pix transfers are instant as in instant messaging instead of Interac's (more often than I'd like) 30min transfers.

Also, paying anything via Interac is kind of awkward compared to Pix's UX flows implemented by Brazilian banks. Can't quite explain it but it's there. Pix is one of the things I miss most from Brazil, and I'm glad Canada's Interac is as prevalent as it is otherwise it'd be a huge step down.

"Occam’s razor" is merely a heuristic, not some sort of law. Neither logical nor otherwise.

Here, you are even using it wrong.
You present a false dichotomy and rely on top of that on the faulty, but commonly held assumption, one choice was vastly less probable than the other.

If the US government has covered up the topic for the last 80 years, you must assume your priors to be faulty.
Guessed wrong, they definitely found it to be an issue: "After a grueling 304-lap test, Acerbis found they needed to use sponges to combat the sloshing inside the tank at the expense of losing some volume. The final tank weighed 15.2 kg (33.5 lbs) and could hold 108 liters."

This is such a ludicrous idea that doesn’t pass even the most basic reality checks. It’s explicitly illegal for a start amongst a whole host of other problems where the incentives make zero sense.
