For near-earth communications, I don't see why they can not use the SpaceX network or similar instead. Tracking these tiny CubeSats with only 3 DSN dishes are insane! DSN should really work for deep-space missions only.

I believe that NASA recognized the problem and potential solutions, but they moved slowly probably due to their clunky bureaucracy.

> NASA relies on commercial ground stations for more than half of its ground station support for the agency's satellites in low-Earth orbit. NASA last year selected SpaceX, Amazon, Viasat, Telecast, SES, and Inmarsat to begin developing commercial capabilities to replace the government-owned Tracking and Data Relay Satellite network, which is used for near-continuous connectivity with the International Space Station and other satellites closer to Earth.
>It doesn’t sound like it is about shareholder value here. They can’t find enough carbon credit programs that meet their internal quality requirements and they are trying to actually not greenwash

That's just not accurate. This is the CEO who basically cut all of their plans around renewables.

> As with all of these discussions: what costs?

I'll use one of the most cited papers on migration (https://www.jstor.org/stable/24739100) (part of the text here: https://www.oecd.org/els/38195773.pdf). It's a longitudinal study on Denmark during the period of 1991-2008, exploring the results of a wave of new refugees in the country.

The tl;dr is that low-skilled natives were effectively pushed out of their previous employment. They could not, or would not, compete with the migrants owing to ostensibly lower wages and worse working conditions. Instead, they leveraged Denmark's generous free education system, and earned degrees. This afforded them higher wages over a long period of time.

So, one of the costs of high migration - particularly low-skilled migration - is that the poorest lose their jobs, or earn less, or have to work in worse conditions. If you live in a country without free university education, these people will have to contend with a permanent quality of life downgrade.

Then there is housing. The West has experienced enormous pressure on rental and home prices over the last couple of decades. Part of the reason for this is high migration. People need to live somewhere. In many places, for various reasons, production has not kept up. This means locals are forced to pay more for accommodation. This, once again, disproportionately impacts the poor.

I also cite demand for social services and infrastructure, which also appears to be failing to expand at sufficient pace in many nations.

> And how does this differ from the costs of children being born and coming of age into the workforce? Should we in fact be enforcing birth, schooling and university quotas to limit the rate at which new humans can enter the skilled workforce?

Your question implies no distinction between locals and immigrants. That is clearly incorrect. A nation exists to protect the wellbeing of its citizens, not citizens of other nations.
You cannot logic someone out of a position they didn't logic themselves into.
Maybe not evidence exactly, but the stereotype of the barista with a fancy degree and lots of loans comes to mind.

> Those Americans can mostly get loans to pay for college, then pay off their loans using all the extra money they make now that they're an engineer.

The flaw in that kind of logic is:

1: Many people who enter college can't graduate, for many different reasons.

2: Many people who graduate are incapable of working in the field they studied for, again for many different reasons.

In my experience, I went to an expensive school that had a high dropout rate. A lot of the dropouts were people who either had poor study habits, or simply weren't able to understand the material. Unfortunately, everyone who took out loans and then dropped out still had to pay back the loans.
Ok, just who are these people who can type faster than I can ever hope to think?
Your Prime Minister talked about it: https://www.aa.com.tr/en/europe/sweden-s-prime-minister-call...

But, that thing you're citing about a limited number of cities that could handle immigration is a good example of why it might be different for Sweden vs Germany.
In Indonesia , we have name anarchy. Some people have a family name, some people have two given names, some people only have one name, some people have many names and none of them are family names...

How will your app handle people with a single name? My wife's mother splits her name in two based on syllables, but that's not exactly right.

I think two fields, one mandatory -- "name" -- and other optional -- "preferred name" -- is the way to go.

You should also consider how to handle people changing names, in the events of marriage, sex change, religious conversion, or what have you.
You’re right formatting the drive would work.

But reinstall Windows crashes, USB recovery drive only helps copy files from command line, system restore points all crash. “OS corruption” sounds like it can be repaired while keeping files, but this is worse than that.
Yeah, no one really cares here because we're not responsible for someone else stealing the money. We just call the bank and they give it all back. The worst part is waiting for a new card to ship and then updating all your payment information with the new card number wherever you're using auto payment.
Lots of negative comments below which I think are overly critical. I think the stack looks good and I’ve also had no issues with mongo. Will take a look!
You might consider just releasing this as an open source repo. I’m sure your work is excellent but there is no way I would ever trust such foundational elements to a closed source boilerplate, especially coming from someone whose work I’ve never seen.

> The backend node reports how hot it is to the LB and gets a relative weight. If it can take more connections, it raises its relative weight, as it takes on more load, it lowers its relative weight.

Some load balancers support readiness checks. When a backend is over-worked it can fail readiness to excuse itself from more work. We implement one variation of this by looking at load metrics (cpu, disk, mem, net) [0]. readiness is binary (ok / !ok) and not weighted (ex: no. of conns). The backend, however, is free to load shed (reject already sent requests) as it sees fit.

sigh... lol, an "expert".

PostgreSQL just like most RDBMS uses filesystem as a backend. It cannot be faster than the filesystem it uses to store its data. At best, you may be able to configure it to use more caching, and then it will be "faster" when you have enough memory for caching...
because I have had to use teams and have found matrix to be a better alternative? Also while they are busy "decoupling" this from office and causing all sorts of problems I figured people would like to be aware of some alternatives.

If your CRUD app's booking endpoint internally fans out to 100s of requests, you're doing something extremely wrong and/or you've dug yourself into microservice hell.
It's the same story with Google Workplace. If I'm writing the checks, you'd better have a really good rationale for why I should pay for some alternative collaboration component rather than using the (typically well-integrated) one that comes as part of the suite.

Some people have individual preferences--even strong ones--but I'm not sure how much there is to truly distinguish the major solutions at this point.
No Microsoft isn’t treated like BigTech by geeks who listened to a loud mouth guy on CNBC who originally coined the term “FANG” (notice the missing “A”) that included a Netflix who’s market share is nothing compared to Apple and Microsoft that were already two of the 5 most valuable companies even when the term was coined

These are not American-style (overseas) immigrants, with relative wealth and degrees. These are poor refugees who might never have wanted to live in the West anyway. Integrating them in an advanced European monoculture sounds like an impossible social engineering task, no?
Are they saying that the same 12% of people eat half of the consumed beef each day? Or that 12% of beef consumers eat half of the daily consumption but that group’s membership changes each day?

If I eat a steak and cheeseburger in the same day, am I part of that group or am I never part of the group because I only eat beef 1x per week?

I've heard good things about Podman https://podman.io
Not trying to belittle what happened but there have literally been weekly gang land hits in Sweden this whole year, so 4 explosions, or hits, in one day was a statistical inevitability.

It has gotten very, very bad. It reminds me of some large American cities in the 80s and 90s, except spread out across the country, in comparatively smaller cities.

Disclaimer, I'm a Swede born in the 80s. I've merely heard of what happened in the states through popular media, interviews with gang members and stuff like that. What we're seeing here now, resembles that very much. Isolated areas, people who live their whole short lives in a bubble of gangs, drawing down on sight.

Fueds always start over money, or hurt pride, but they can keep going for however long the involved members are active.

I remember the big biker wars of the 90s[1], with a total registered death toll of a dozen. Now that's a bad month in Sweden. However you approach this debate, it needs to happen.

My other question would be whether this is due to the need to radiation harden stuff? We were developing for what effectively was equivalent to an arduino in terms of processing power due to the need for radiation hardening (and other legacy / slow moving reasons).
in addition to what the others have said, I go home every day at 5 pm, no crunch or grind, no work calls outside of working hours. (luckily I live somewhere where that is guaranteed by law).

I think keeping a schedule that way has prevented me from every souring on programming in my free time.
It has nothing to do with credit card processing fees, or data-mining.

Verizon, AT&T, and T-Mobile want you to connect a bank account to further tie an identity to a phone number / account.

This comes at request of the government. They do not want anonymous cellular users.
Don't even need to go as far as Asia, even european-descended cultures have different naming conventions.

Here in Brazil, it is very common to have "compound names" which are just... two given names you have to use together, for example "Ana Maria", AND it is also common to have "middle names" which are neither family names, nor given. My name, for example, is Leonardo Giovanni Scur, but "Leonardo" is my given name that I respond and expect people to call me by, and "Scur" is the family name. "Giovanni" only exists in documents, basically.

So, the first question is, what are you using their names for? If you are a paid service that identifies users to other users by name, ask for a "billing name" for your legal/policy needs, and a "display name" for identification, don't attribute any structure to it. If you don't need a legally identifying name, just ask for the "display name", and let people name themselves "Sir Bearington of Nunya Biznis".
The leadership at Hashicorp doesn't seem to "get" open source development, or at least doesn't seem to value the community of their customers.

The change of license could have been attributed to them trying to protect their SaaS business if you squinted. But now they're saying "this is ours and you can't play", even though that hurts tf in the long run due to alienation of the community. I get that they need to generate revenue, but I don't understand how alienating their customers makes money even in the long term?

Did leadership or ownership change recently?
Taj Mahal is one of the bizarre things that need to be seen with your own very eyes to appreciate the beauty and the monumental work that had been done in order to build it.

For me, it's the realization of the fact that the floral patterns decorating the building are not painting but made up from many varieties (apparently about 28 of them) of colorful gemstones and many of them are imported from outside India.
We don't offer USD pay-ins atm but we are working on them.
A "plantation" in this sense is something that has been planted by man sometime in the last 100 years. Many forests you see which are 40 or 70 years old look like real wild forests, but are in fact planted.

Don't forget that trees in Canada grow slowly compared to for example trees in a jungle.
Man, I don't get it. I have a lot of problems with the (imo anti-competitive) behavior of big tech companies, but the bundling of Teams is among the least of my concerns.

What about App Stores and API availability? What about constantly preferring and promoting first-party offers (required accounts, MS Edge, Bing, Apple iCloud)? All the platform leverage they're more or less starting to abuse to lock users into "services" only they can provide. THOSE are problems that are limiting competition and getting worse and worse. They're really, entirely; unapologetically holding users hostage and more or less forcibly extracting rent from them (hey, your iCloud is full!).

Yet the EU steps in in these what feel like token ways. A bit like the recent Apple move of ("We support right to repair ... at authorized service providers, for repairs we approve").

I know of the Digital Markets Act, but haven't yet seen a hint that it will limit rent-seeking by platform providers (worse yet: the idea has been floated that Apple may still be able to do it on third-party app stores, completely circumventing the point of the law, just like "legitimate interest" has for GDPR!).

I love my little EU and its general (verbal) attitude towards consumer and market protection. But there's a lot more talk than there is walk. I hope this will change at some point - the direction is still the right one, after all.
Tangent:

A common reasoning for asking for a structured name is to build visually consistent interfaces, such as identifying everyone by their given name.

But that is disrespectful to people with "complicated" names, as well as social conventions. Some people would rather be called by their family name, others their given name, and I guarantee you none of them says "but think about the pretty, homogenous UI we will be leaving behind!".

For users, your brand aesthetics are at best very far down on their list of things to care about, even lower than thinking about what specific dish they will make for lunch in 3 weeks.

>you just made the claim that people who prefer real programming languages are the reason for bad shells

No, I made the claim that people who think shells and "real (sic) programming languages" are distinct categories, and can't be otherwise, and use it support the idea that current shells are fine, are the reason for bad shells.

>sure it is possible to have both, but the focus of the shell needs to be on interactivity

As if those are contradictory goals?

A shell can have a much much better real programming language AND BE interactive.

>i don't at all care if the shell has a good programming language. i only care about good interactive features.

Hence my false dichotomy complaint.
Someone deeper in the comments posted https://meaningness.com/geeks-mops-sociopaths , which describes the phenomenon well. Many years ago a similar lifecycle issue was noticed with "MUDs", the ancestor of MMOs: they lasted for a couple of years then users would gradually migrate elsewhere as the old place became "stale".

Social media is both a platform and a set of communities using it. If the health of public communities is not good, people will migrate away. I do think that the past decade of intensification of the "culture war" on social media has contributed to its destruction; people are simply exhausted, and new users (kids) who've grown up in a high-surveillance environment are less keen to post about themselves because it's an attack surface.

I stopped using Goodreads recently and started using an open source alternative to track my book reads[1].

I was only using it to keep track of what I was reading so it made sense for me to just use this app instead.

[1] https://github.com/mateusz-bak/openreads-android
I read a ton of books, but I’ve never used Goodreads. What is it about Goodreads that makes people want to use it? If you can identify why you want to use it, then you might have identified why you can’t quit it. For me, it is like smoking. I never started smoking, so I don’t need to quit it and feel no desire to start (or start again for those who did quit in the past and are tempted to start again).
I don't use it at all. Social media is terrible, why can't we quit it? I include HN in there.

The two big social media apps I use are HN and Youtube. (Reddit used to be up there but a lot less now because I don't get recommended anything good. They really upped their reliance on the "algorithm" so after I clicked a "drama" link once my recommendations got destroyed with trash.)

HN is mostly high value content but still it's not the most effective use of my time. Youtube is either very high value content or very low value content. No in between. Sometimes I find myself getting recommended garbage and I click into it and get mind trapped for a few minutes but catch myself and get myself out of it. I don't want to have to navigate these "dopamine traps" every time I want to watch an interesting lecture or video on a topic I actually care about.

edit: I even click in on my name to check if I've gotten any upvotes or responses. I understand it's all worthless but I still click in a semi autonomous way.

I mean it's reasonable for HashiCorp to limit who uses their infrastructure since they foot the bill for it. Google did a similar thing for the Chrome Web Store to download extensions when Microsoft released Edge, pushing Microsoft to host its own distribution channel.

You can also call up any phone provider or mortgager and they will "verify" if you give them an address and credit card number. Society is built on the reality that most people won't, not that they can't.
