Yeah, 2 miles is ~80 minutes round trip on foot for a healthy person. 5 miles is over 3 hours round trip on foot, carrying groceries back. This is not accessible.

If a person is poor enough to qualify for food stamps, is it reasonable to expect them to have enough land and resources (fertilizer, etc.) to grow enough food for a family, while also earning a living? Should that be the only option?

Finally, of the group of people who do not have reliable access to cars, the poor are a significant portion. "Just jump in your car and drive down the road" is not an option for millions of Americans.

But yes, if you are relatively well-off, there's no such thing as a food desert. If you have a few tens of acres of land, a tractor, and car, even being 50 or 100 miles from a store is not a problem. SNAP isn't for those people.

Given the fact that "food stamps", as posted in another comment, is a colloquial term, this is absolutely not true. WIC, for instance, gives you a slip of paper with a specific list of the foods and amounts of those foods that you can buy. This is often limited to things like milk, cereal, eggs, baby formula, etc.

On much of Route 2 in Massachusetts, the posted speed limit is 55 mph, but the median speed of cars is about 70 mph, and I don't see any police. If you are not going to ticket people for driving X mph, your speed limit should be at least (X-10) mph (in this case of Route 2, 60 mph). Otherwise posted speed limits have little meaning but do enable police to stop people capriciously.

what on earth is that supposed to mean? ZFS is not in the Linux kernel because Sun and then Oracle deliberately decided to do that and continue to want that to be the case. The Linux kernel can't be re-licensed, (the Oracle and Sun code in) ZFS could be relicenced in ten minutes if they cared.

Slightly more seriously, I think he’s too pessimistic about the impact of renewable energy generation (contra his observations, Florida installed more solar capacity last year than any other state) and carbon sequestration. But I’m not highly confident in that assessment - maybe we are fucked.

One mile is pretty darn low, even for suburban. I’m technically not in a food desert because there is a grocery store a block away. But if it were to explode, I’d suddenly be in a desert because the next grocery store (Walmart) is 1.2 miles away at the end of a nice bike path.

I don’t even know if a grocery store’s customers can fit within a one mile radius circle without urban density.

IMO they should be waived. Companies shouldn’t be charging fees for access to SNAP benefits. Otherwise it becomes a taxpayer-funded Uber Eats coupon to drive profits via fees that would otherwise not be present.

Heh. docker.io package on Ubuntu did this recently, whereby it stopped honouring the "USER someuser" clause in Dockerfiles. Completely breaks docker builds.

You can make it as useless and as powerful as you want. I have worked on many projects and developers loved it (no joke). But it was down to having it properly setup and using just the bare minimum that enabled to do work. What often happens, is that JIRA "experts" (usually incompetent PMs or Scrum masters) let JIRA dictate your workflow. That's where discontent arises.

Crippled in what way?

Others point out Homebrew, but I still prefer MacPorts for command line tools. It feels more “BSD” to me, while Homebrew reminds me of some tools a Node developer would write (cheeky terminology, overuse of emoji, cleverness over correctness, etc.).

At home I just use macOS and FreeBSD and many of my personal projects typically build on both. The base userland tools are mostly the same, but the non-POSIX stuff diverges heavily (file system control, process isolation, configuration, etc.)

Imagine you're between jobs, receive government aid for food, and can't afford to fuel your car. How will you get to the store?

Imagine you don't have a car. How will you get to the store?

Imagine you don't have friends or family. How will you get to the store?

Your assumption of being able to drive is an unreasonably strict definition of a person.
It's complicated the other way because we design our environment to be safe for cars; horses on the other hand tend to go everywhere, including jumping over stuff.
Food stamps and SNAP should just be blanket available to anyone who bothers asking, even bill gates. Or at least make it a “once on, can’t lose for X years” type of thing, and when lost it peters out instead of a hard cutoff.

The ease of losing the bennies and the annoyance of handling it is bunk.

Depends on use case and which tools you’re using today but we try to make gains everywhere we can.

In pricing, we try to simplify by ditching the tables and anchoring around one metric.

For engineers, our documentation is decent and updated regularly. We try to have a performant API, support the integrations you’re most likely to use and include a versioning system with our transactional email.

For marketing, we built our editor around a text-based interface and make it highly customizable. We also take the pain out of having to test across multiple platforms.

For product teams, we offer templates that cater to specific touchpoints in the SaaS lifecycle.

Across all of that we offer unlimited team seats so you can actually have your entire team onboard and technical support for when things don’t work as expected or you have questions.

We create slack connect channels with any team that needs one (we have almost 1,000) and try to provide fast, technical support.
While you’re right in theory, it doesn’t always work in practice. Some systems fail to respect caching headers.

Further, in my experience, intermediate caches are mostly useless for non-binary product data. Either you need to make a round trip or you don’t. Sure, you can cache and return “not changed”, but you still get the latency. Just returning the data often isn’t much slower.

POST avoids all of those issues by pretty much saying “give us what we neeed every time”

I think the core of the issue is "level of luxury", for lack of better phrase. In the spectrum of "richness" (not to equate with income) people range between "cannot afford proper food" and "can afford anything".

The debate centers around where on that scale you put "needs government assistance" and "food deliveries". If you put the former above the latter, then it sounds merely as discretionary expenditure. However, if you put the latter above the former, then this becomes "luxury on government money".

Essentially "are food deliveries to be considered luxury, beyond the level of government assistance?". This type of debate pops up quite often when attributable public expenditure is considered.

Seems like parts of America are devolving into this. A Wal-Mart or Target move in, crush competition, become the sole source in a radius. Then, they get overwhelmed by crime and close (or close for other reasons) and now the walkable or reasonable bus able distance to the next store is very far.
For merchants it is, I worked on a marketplace before and having checkout flows with higher than usual declines will eat on your sales.

I think many web developers do just fine without ever having to touch Erlang, which is one of the nice things I like about Elixir: it's making a platform that is almost tailor made to web development really accessible to web developers. There is an idea outside the ecosystem that Elixir is "overkill" for simple apps but that's just not true!

For those that find themselves needing to dive into Erlang, I too have seen several people describe it as "Biting the bullet," and I'm a bit in that camp myself. For me it's not Erlang the language that's a problem, it's the documentation. This speaks to what you said about being from another era. I just do not find it enjoyable to read.

You otherwise seem to be saying that modern tooling is bad because it doesn't force you to be as diligent a programmer. I neither agree nor disagree with this but it's a whole other convo.

Yeah, I have no problem with people using their EBT to pay for groceries; that's what it's for. But it feels wrong for Uber to take a cut
Well, 5 miles down the road makes it not a food desert, so there we go.

I suspect this is targeted more at urban areas - in NYC there are a ton of neighborhoods where the local grocery store options are limited to bodegas, most of which carry primarily or entirely processed and pre-packaged foods. Nothing wrong with that inherently, but lack of access to fresh produce and meats makes it more difficult for families to eat healthy.

Many of those neighborhoods are gentrifying, or near neighborhoods that are, and the higher income folks that move in can afford to have someone instacart or uber eats better quality groceries from a few neighborhoods over, an option not available to people on EBT.

For Uber it makes sense because the physical distance is likely not substantial, which allows the economics to work for the drivers, particularly if they can do it on an e-bike or scooter. In rural areas I would be concerned that the round-trip drive times are less appealing - I've already seen a lot of discussion on the dasher subreddit about how rural restaurant delivery is less preferable because of distance and a perception that tipping is not good relative to the effort required.
Totally fair, we just launched a week ago (and it went well) so we wanted to keep it up till the end of the month.

With GrapheneOS targeting whatever Pixel as their only primary device (not going to go into whole GSI/DSU thing), there's a "lucky" coincidence of TWRP for all Pixel devices I had (3 to 7a) being broken (keymaster, userdata).

So, if you wanted to add GApps to pre-"Apps" Graphene, it involved either repacking system image, or building your own copy of OS with OpenGApps (had to do it once to get specific e-sim app working iirc). Can confirm that either way was fine, so it was possible to get GApps on Graphene back in 2021, nobody bothered with it though.. what happens next: someone decides that they want to make it nicer for users and goes there by making yet another appstore.

With CalyxOS, its possible to do the same thing:
- get the sources
- remove microg packages (pity. They really do maintain and test their own fork, meaning less login issues, etc)
- add OpenGApps (or Revanced's MicroG)
- run the build, wait 2 hours, flash it

Now.. there's no such thing as "GApps compatibility layer" in Calyx. Yet, there's no difference in user experience - none of my daily apps are/were broken on either Graphene+Play services from their store, stock CalyxOS+MicroG or on Calyx+GApps. (Except last time I've used Apps on multiple user profiles, there was a lot of trouble due to different versions being installed iirc)

Taking privacy concerns into account, there might be some difference.. but once more, going through gmscompat code, I see mainly hacks about letting this app pop up this activity this time, faking this permission that time, etc [1].

Yes there's a layer that isolates some calls, but I just cannot see how it's supposed to alter user experience. Now, spinning an isolated "sandbox" (which is likely impossible, as IPC/binder/shared data and services model is fundamentally broken anyway) with just a couple apps on a separate google account - all restricted from having access to sensors, etc, having device ID's spoofed and having separate network isolation - would be a real game changer, but its a niche need, with semi-available solutions (sandvxposed, vmos, waydroid on docker on android), and it would likely violate every line in Play Services' TOS meaning it won't happen on a public OS.

Calyx cares about their users in a kind of a quiet way, yet there's a ton of activity on their tracker.

GrapheneOS cares about giving privacy to more users I suppose, so that explains their marketing strategy and parts of their code being what they are (hardened libc? definitely cool. Yet I've not seen any public exploit that could bypass e.g. stock AOSP's libc with _FORTIFY_SOURCE since 2015).

End user experience though? No real difference, thus no superiority. And people in need of "hard" sandboxing would just buy a box of burner phones anyway.

They’re not saying that though. They’re saying they’ve never experienced it being a positive signal. I haven’t either. But I don’t think we’re claiming people like you don’t exist and we’re not judging people because of their certs. Just observing the correlation.

Edit: to add to this, you know what signal I’ve also never observed in 11 years? A PhD indicating someone will be an exceptional engineer.
WIC and friends are funded by the feds but implemented by the states, and those on the programs know what can be bought where.

Ask any grocery clerk; it’s very common to see someone use SNAP to buy the listed items and then immediately afterwards spend their cash on the other things. Funds are fungible, after all.

All of which isn’t really a big deal, tbh. However the program is so large and the hoverment abandoning the purchasing power they could have if they dictated more the “buyables” is a regret. They could have “WIC” stamps on foods that are not only healthy but actively good, low in sugars, etc.
I read that Brex moved away from Elixir to Kotlin. If Elixir was really that great then why would a company put such a big effort to ditch it? That killed off my interest in learning it, but maybe their reasons were invalid? Genuinely curious.
