I just recently bought a car for around 4000€ in cash. I even went to a ATM to withdraw money first.

Cash is, after all, the only instant and feeless transaction method. Why would I want to pay % fee or wait up to several days for a transaction like that?

Imagine I bought the car on Friday afternoon. The seller would get the money earliest on Monday. Why would the seller simply trust me? So how would I buy a car on a Friday afternoon otherwise?
I think there's different contexts around simplicity and what your goals are.

For example, yesterday I was learning about VPNs in more detail and got WireGuard installed on Debian. It took 3 hours to get it working with no knowledge of WireGuard or how VPNs really work beforehand. Then I came across PiVPN which is a user friendly front-end for WireGuard (or OpenVPN) which works with or without a Raspberry Pi and I got that working in literally 5 minutes.

I'm happy I took the 3 hours to better understand how all of the pieces come together but I'm way happier using PiVPN in the end because the interface to use it almost can't be easier given how much complexity it's hiding away.
It may be heterodox (like Einstein’s theory of relativity vs the luminiferous aether theories) but I think the facts are there. I follow more the thinking of Joe Stiglitz and the Three Sector Model of economics to arrive at that conclusion:

I asked the same question and imagined a snarky response like "Well whenever you want a fast, memory-safe api."

But seriously, I don't know. It seems like it trades development speed for things that just aren't problems. I think the database would be where most performance issues would surface, not the api server. I'm curious how others will answer your question though because I'm not really sure.
I'd also add a link here to `dirname` which is an interesting one for including text directionality of text input in form submissions: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Attributes...

> Bank accounts themselves are not actually all that accessible; it's quite common for people to be ineligible for a bank account under random (but common) circumstances.

Not in the Netherlands. Any adult (18 or older) resident of the EU has the right to a bank account, by law.

> an interesting loop you can get into is that you need to pay a utility bill in order to get a bank account, yet you can't pay a utility bill without a bank account.

Why would you need to pay a utility bill to get a bank account? Those two things are completely unrelated. All you need is a valid ID (either ID card, passport or drivers license) and you are required to have that anyway.
It would affect any phone mount without sufficient vibration damping, but I also suspect that there are a lot of bikes out there that wouldn't cause any problems regardless of the mount because they are on the less vibey side of the spectrum. Its just hard to know in advance for a given set of bike/mount/phone so better safe than sorry.
I think it's worth noting that the inventor of the earthship plans does not himself live in an earthship. I have seen a lot of anecdotal accounts of people living in earthships developing health issues because of off-gassing from the tires. Also they are really optimized for desert environments, they don't preform as well in high humidity.

Continually hopping between varying levels of abstraction and different problem domains. Programming instills one with a decent universal ontological model for understanding things in general.

And honestly, I haven't met many things that I can't do when I put my mind to it. The real difficulty is doing them quickly.
Cash is weird because in theory it's a simple way to conduct a purchase but increasingly the coins become lost in the mix. I'm in the U.S., if someone hands me a few pennies/dimes as change they have effectively given me metallic trash for me to hold. I have a digital bank, so no way to deposit coins. I'm not going to carry coins around with me like I do whole bills. I'm essentially left with the option of taking them to a "coinstar" machine which will give me just a portion of what they are worth and to make that worth it I have to save up all my coins for multiple years since I get so few of them.
How?

Also, again, how is this specifically harming farmers more than anyone else?
I could be wrong here, but given what sqlite's documentation includes and the fact his spec files don't even include dependencies, I believe sqlite extensions don't depend upon anything except sqlite itself (he says here "most" don't).

You'd need to ensure the extensions and sqlite were both compiled against the same libc, but I don't see what this package manager can do about this given the metadata doesn't seem to be available in these Github releases. In fact, going to the repo for the example in his spec file, the reason for the release was to downgrade the build host OS from Ubuntu 22.04 to 20.04 to resolve an issue with some user not being able to run this because of a missing GLIBC symbol.

This is an underappreciated problem and why actual distros include everything. If you're going to distribute binary files, you need to ensure they're compatible in many more ways than just the architecture and kernel matching. A complete package manager would include a build system and public registry with builds matching a complete machine triplet (as in, what you'd get by running gcc -dumpmachine). If you consume upstream Github releases as this is doing, they may not have that level of granularity, and in fact, we can see they do not.
Do you disagree with any of the specific language?
> We're never going to "solve" anything

I don't know, I think we "solved" eg indoor running water, which dramatically reduced mortality.

You can say there was a "trade off" in the respect that it costed a large amount to install that. But it was worth it, like many other expenses are worth it. You have to actually do the value/cost calculation, not appeal to an unconstrained stonewalling gesture.
If someone is paying for farm equipment, vehicles or livestock with tens of thousands in cash, you can absolutely be certain something very, very dodgy is going on. At the very least someone is doing some serious tax evasion.

So sounds like exactly the kind of transaction this law is supposed to block. working as intended.
My fave that I ever saw in real production code involved Builder, factory and iterator with at least two of them repeated. So it was something like

AbstractWidgetBuilderFactoryBuilderIteratorFactory

...maybe with Facade thrown in there too somewhere although I could be exaggerating with that.

When you see a classname like that the only rational response is to shrug, look at your watch and wonder how long you still have to work before you can get a strong drink.

Honestly I agree the problem with the GoF is not the content of the book itself but the fact that there is a certain type of personality which is very prevalent in software development (let's call them "pokemon trainers") who when confronted with a classification like that just have to "catch them all" (or in this case get them into every program as often as possible).

As a field guide to spotting and understanding common idioms it's fine. The problem is it's like showing a lexicon of cliches to a creative writing night school class. You know from then on about 90% of the material you read is going to be "It was a dark and stormy night... etc etc".

I just can't really ever forgive them for unleashing that particular demon.
There's no reason to buy things at full price there, especially clothes. Between the Outlet, regular sales, and garage sales, there's often deeply discounted gear and out of season clothing available.

If you want really affordable stuff, Walmart and Big 5 offer a lot of cheap outdoor gear that will do the job. REI caters to a different segment, mostly the mid high end. In between, Dick's etc. offer midrange stuff.

Some of the manufacturers (like Patagonia) offer used clothes directly too. But like you said, hiking clothes are often overpriced and any generic synthetic would likely do fine.

Personally I get my gear at REI because I want it to last (and they have a great return policy if it doesn't) but my clothes at Costco or used, and my consumables (backpacking food etc.) direct from manufacturers in small boxes.
Upvoted because Rust. I don't use Rust but one day I might outsmart the borrow checker.
Good performance, nice type system to model business logic, easy to deploy a single executable. Low resource usage can be more affordable at a certain scale. A lot of concurrency models that you can choose from.

> Bank accounts themselves are not actually all that accessible

If you have a way to prove your ID(which basically everyone do in Norway) then bank accounts are very accessible and free. I don't know how many banks I have accounts at, but it's more than 15, and all you need is your ID and a couple of minutes to create an account.
You could also just carry a bank card across borders and withdraw cash when you land, no need to play around with known scams :)
> Well, for one, they control cash production

They have the euro as do most countries in the EU so they don't control cash production.
Similar laws in the US have readily morphed into we're going to hold it until you prove it's not from illegal sources. Googling it will provide many examples.

Green hydrogen is expensive, yes, but less expensive than synthfuel. I'm not thrilled at the prospect of a green hydrogen future, but it's our best option for replacing fossil fuels currently, and so is what we should adopt if we can't come up with a better solution in the next 10-20 years.

To my knowledge wind-powered cargo ships can only supplement cargo ships and can't fully substitute for a proper fuel source, but I would absolutely love to be proven wrong.

The bulk of biofuels are a dead end (although some types of biofuels are valuable in recycling waste products), because modern agriculture basically just turns oil into food; BEV tractors basically don't work due to the range and charging-times needed on an already very heavy vehicle.

Not web development per se, but I had to write an FFI connector in Rust (because of some multiarch shenanigans) and I want to create an API to manage the connector remotely - it's a proxy for card readers - so I can manage the gates, the config, etc. through a HTTP api as the rust proxy is at the moment is just a daemon.

it’s equivalent to backing up a server after a hard power off.

as long as the filesystem supports some kind of journaling (aka it’s not ancient) and the database is acid compliant, there shouldn’t be any major issues beyond a slow startup.

but keep in mind that you may lose acid compliance by fiddling with the disk flushing configuration, which is a common trick to raise write speed on write choked databases. if that’s the case you may lose some transactions

your database documentation should have this information.

I think they make money by selling data harvested through the extension. So you might be able to pay them to answer "how many websites are using X library/framework"?
You need proof of address too, it's not enough to have just an ID.

A passport is good, but you should also be aware that not everyone has a passport or drivers license. (for example: I didn't when I got my first bank account).

My first bank account was a deal my mother made with the bank where she acted as guarantor.

having a right to a thing is not the same as actually getting it; there is a lot of anti-fraud legislation that exists and must be complied with. The bank isn't just going to fully open an account with nothing but an ID. I can say that with absolute confidence after working in financial services (albeit briefly).
In my opinion it's not unthinkable that an older person, someone without a bank account, or someone who works odd-jobs, might save cash in a drawer (regardless of whether that's advisable) for a long time for a larger purchase, like a used car bought in-person directly from someone else. Should we ban that?

> People who have been in this situation before, what did you do ?

The thing that helped me was thinking about what I'd be like in 2-3 years if I didn't make a change in my life.

In 2015, I realized the best work I'd done for my current employer was already 2-3 years old and I didn't see anything topping it in the next 2-3 years. So in 2-3 years I'd probably be telling interviewers about projects that were 5+ years old and that felt like an uncompelling story to tell.

I figured the risk of leaving a cushy job was higher in the short-term but would be beneficial long-term.

This law is intended to make large amounts of cash less useful without killing the utility of smaller amounts. If large amounts of cash become less useful that makes money laundering a lot harder.

A black market for cash already exists. The people who buy it are called money launderers.

If you want the convenience of a government backed currency you’ll need to do so digitally which makes fraud investigation a lot easier. Don’t like it? Bad luck. This is where every fair economy is heading.

Have you used sanoid/syncoid? I started my ZFS journey with a custom script and then switched to syncoid/sanoid (and some much simplified scripts) for my backup needs. One of my use cases is for Raspberry Pis which seem to have a habit of becoming unbootable. These are Pi 4Bs running from SATA/USB SSD or CM4s using NVME SSDs. I have scripts that use

* dd to copy the boot sector (to a ZFS filesystem)
* rsync to copy the boot (FAT32) and root (EXT4) partitions (also to a ZFS filesystem)
* syncoid to copy the ZFS filesystem to another host.

This process runs daily. When a system craps, it's pretty straightforward to restore the boot sector and boot and root partitions and finally the ZFS pool.

I'm curious zrepl does that might be useful for me.

Chandrayaan 3 landed at around 69 degrees south latitude which isn't far enough south to access the permanently shadowed craters where large ice deposits might occur (and the Pragyan rover uses solar panels for power).

I haven't read specific reasons for choosing that site, but we have never landed that far south, and it will be interesting to see what differences (if any) there are from the more central latitudes, which is a good enough reason on its own.
> and why does the bank need to be involved or aware at all

In the EU you can transfer the money instantly using your phone.

I think you can only tell what true innovation is when looking backwards in time.

Meaningful technology never really goes away. We still use the wheel, all the mechanical fasteners that were invented through human history (cordage, mechanical joinery, nails, rivets, screws, bolts etc), simple machinery (e.g. mechanical presses), simple electronics.

Each new meaningful invention - that was once the pinnacle of technology - proves its worth by settling down in to a niche that will never go away. I wager that smart toasters will not be in this category...
In Germany even with SEPA it's very common to pay for huge transactions with cash. People don't trust electronic payment for "critical" things
Curious because I've never done it, how do people buy used cars off classifieds other than with cash? Checks can bounce, e-transfers can be reversed, etc. Seems any method other than cash is very susceptible to scams.
Yes! And it's so easy to just try it and see for yourself. Laughable that anyone wouldn't just take ten minutes to see if it does anything.
> Regardless of what you see as a casual outside observer, an architect and civil engineer are putting their stamps on each set of blueprints for each construction site.

Hard disagree on this wishful thinking. I've literally seen the submitted plans for my house - there was absolutely no architect or engineer stamp on them. The true mega-builders might do this, but smaller operations (say, 25 to a few hundred houses a year) don't.

In my subdivision (which will be a few hundred houses built by one company) the plans are all new to this subdivision, designed by the head guy, and there aren't enough houses of any plan to amortize "tens of thousands of hours" among them (they've built 4 copies of my house so far, for reference).

You don't need an engineer or architect involved in building a "normal" house or developing plans in large parts of the country. There's no calculations required, for the most part, either. The codes allow a prescriptive path to compliance, so if you fall the span charts in the codes, it's good to go.

The only real notable exception is in truss design - but that's never designed by an architect either. The builder sends the house design to a truss company along with required loads in the area, and the truss company sends back trusses that cover the space and hold the required loads.

Threads like this are peak HN - people who "know better" how the world should work (and hey, I wish I worked like that too) telling people who have actually experienced something their experience can't possibly be real. I actually have had a house built recently. I did a ton of research, and this builder was the best I could do in my area and at my price range (about $600k). The options get a LOT worse as you spend less on new constructions.
I'm not convinced that's true. In a crash, the bar is going to cause a lot of internal damage and whiplash (if it contains them at all)... I mean it might be true, but I really doubt it was tested formally.

"All this is good news, because the ESA's ClearSpace-1 mission was scheduled to remove VESPA in 2026.

I think they mean more per prisoner per year, which is immediately measurable. It'd be done in the hope that total costs would go down over decades, but in our current political climate it's hard to sell improvements that take decades to manifest.

> Can we please not value people's life in money?

It feels quite icky to do this, but it is necessary when making policy decisions.

Every day, governments and corporations decide to spend (or not spend) X amount of dollars to save Y number of lives. Does it make sense to spend some money on infant mortality prevention, vs research on cancer types that only really old people get? What about seatbelt laws? Or pollution prevention?

Ideally, we would rationally spend our limited money on providing the best life for the most people. Not that this actually happens for a variety of reasons.

If we are to get the best value for our money, then we need to assign a value to human life in terms similar to disability-adjusted life years (DALY):
