The article mentions avoiding overcommit and oom score adjust. You can avoid overcommit by always specifying requests == limits and can use priority class for oom score adjust.

There are definitely improvements like memory qos/pressure handling, but not sure what you mean about those specifics, they can be handled.

You can always oom the whole node, I don’t think(?) the fact that there’s a non root oom matters? So you could arguably set no pod limit, set priority class critical, and let another pod in the workload cgroup get killed.

Maybe, it is hard to prove the "dead internet theory". But I mean look at you. That is how it used to feel like on Reddit. Write stuff. Someone disagrees. Etc. Reddit gives me sect vibes nowadays.
a) Article talks about REforestation: re-growing a forest where there once was one, but currently not.

Obviously, growing a new forest means carbon storage.

b) A good % of carbon gets stored in the soil in various ways. Some of that for a long time (if not permanent).

c) People have cut down a lot of forest over time. So restoring that would equate to a massive amount of carbon taken out of the atmosphere & stored in plant matter. Regardless of where it came from.

More plant matter = less CO2 in atmosphere.

Selectively harvesting trees may improve upon that. But it's optional.
This works as a novelty for a moment's interest. However, it quickly fades as AI is making authenticity a crisis of meaning.

The new Meta announcements are bringing a flood of new gimmickery to the social platforms. More fake realities.

I'm not sure where all this leads society, but I used AI art as a launch into deeper introspection of where we are going here.

Is society on the precipice of falling into the abyss of illusion? Whatever is applicable in the context of art is likely also for the rest of all works, creative or intellectual, by human beings. Whatever is the current trajectory in these matters does not stop at art. AI inevitably will consume in some form all disciplines and master them. Observing closely what happens to art could inform us as to the future of other human domains.

This article is about dragging, and I've run into all of the pitfalls and come to the same solutions that Amit talks about. Excellent article!

One of the hardest things I have needed to code from scratch is drag-to-reorder. It seem so natural from a user perspective, but when you get into inconsistently sized items, having to create placeholders between items, detecting edges, going down rabbitholes of box-fitting algorithms... it's a fun challenge :)
That’s intended for selecting a pre-taken photo without giving an app library access. You’d have to get the user to take the picture then come back to your app.

What you really need is a system dialogue that pops up the camera and only returns the QR code to the app, the way the photo picker can see the whole library but only gives the app the one selected photo.
You can ruin it sure. You don’t know the specific alloy. So you couldn’t reasonably modify for anything useful, what’s its melting point? How should you cool it? You don’t know. You’d have to reverse engineer it, just like the software

visa very clearly much more users who transact much lower amounts than stablecoins, I never claimed otherwise.

The fact remains that substantial amounts of people are using crypto rails to move very economically significant sums of money.

The fact that something can be used by bad people does not make the thing itself bad. Very similar arguments are often levelled at tools like Tor or Signal, but very few of the hacker news crowd see those viewpoints as valid.

Uncensorable and private digital cash is important in the same way that uncensorable and private digital communications are.

> When I was living in Austin, my apartment rent shot up over 30%, in an area on the outskirts of Austin near nothing.

Austin's population has been increasing by ~4% annually for decades, which is high. Construction responds to that but it has a lead time. And Austin has zoning restrictions, but notice that it also has lower rents than cities that have more.

> It's nice to think that this problem could be solved by simply dumping supply on the market, but even in areas where that's being done or where there isn't significant demand rent is skyrocketing.

Can you name any US city where the amount of net housing growth exceeded the amount of population growth over the last 30 years?

> And even when supply is dropped, it's bought up by said large corporations and investment groups that price fix it anyways.

Most of them are buying it to rent it out, which adds supply to the market. The problem, regardless of who the buyer is, is that they're not building enough pretty much anywhere.

> "They're sort of not advertising their full inventory," Walkup said, "simply because they don't want to overwhelm the idea of what the supply currently is."

That's something else entirely -- they have a bunch of empty apartments and they wait to put some on the market until they fill the others, because why pay to advertise multiple units when they're all about the same? They're effectively all still on the market because as soon as anyone actually rents one they start advertising another one.

What you should be asking is, why don't they lower the prices some so they can rent them all out quickly and get some rent instead of none?

But that is the bad laws. If there is a short-term reduction in demand for urban apartments because of COVID, normally the incentive would be to lower the rents to whatever it takes to fill the units and then raise it again if the demand recovers. But if you have rent control or similar, once they rent it out they'd be stuck getting the short-term lower prices for decades to come, so they'd rather stick it out until they can find a tenant at a higher price.

Get rid of the bad laws and that incentive goes away.

But you still need to allow more housing to be built, because otherwise the rents would go back up as soon as COVID is over and people start moving back into cities.

Urban landlords don't have any kind of market power outside of control over zoning boards -- there are too many of them and none of them own a high enough proportion of the units to make a dent. Which is why they capture zoning boards to prevent supply from increasing to satisfy demand.
This is my current secret as well. Depends on how dense your area is, but either find a medical office park like this, or a hospital campus if in a major city.

They usually will have a pharmacy that is largely used to service other providers in park/campus, and thus is typically pretty laid back. A large number of these keep a retail counter open almost as an afterthought, but in a hospital setting usually meant for patients being discharged or whatever I imagine.

Most of these will take anyone off the streets. Recently this has started to change so I expect in a few years most will no longer take "retail" (the secret is long out, so more and more control-seekers are wasting staff time) customers at all and only service inpatient.

It's worth driving an extra 10 minutes if you have such an option. Otherwise if you must go chain I've had the best luck and heard mostly good things from staff about Costco. Walmart also seems to have a quite functional pharmacy - but it can be quite hit or miss depending on location, and is starting to suffer from the general overworking conditions the rest of the chains have.

This literally goes against the meaning of the word authenticity.

Call it "realistic". Words matter.
Seems like it's only a matter of degree, given that modern cell phone cameras take image bursts and combine them into a single output image. Filling in details in a scene from other photos taken at the same time doesn't really seem that different to me. And seeing that photography has never really been capturing real life exactly, is it really that big a deal? Look at Ansel Adams - he heavily edited his "real-life" photographs, and changed them over the years as he made subsequent prints.

I used to work manual labour in the reforestation industry and there were two main schedules we would work: 4-and-1s (criminal) and 3-and-1s (manageable). That change in ratio really adds up.

Sadly, management mostly worked us 4-and-1s because, despite the fact that each day we were less productive, over 3 months more trees would get planted in less time.

4-and-1s of gruelling manual labour inevitably leads to burn out. It did every season without fail, and we all expected it. Burnout was a built-in condition. The key here is that labour tolerated it only because the work was seasonal. There was always an end in sight. And most folks spent the off-season on a beach somewhere it was cheap enough to live off the earnings, surfing and eating tacos all day (or the equivalent activity).

The salaryperson should not accept burn out as a built-in; we are labourers for life and we need to learn how to find dignity in such a reality. When I first transitioned to a salaried worker, I brought the burn out mentality to my work and had a lot of pride in that. And though full of bride, the burnt out husk that I as had little dignity.

Ratios that allow for more life and less labour is that dignity.

> On the inside you realize the guy that went to Harvard that is now CEO, got into Harvard due to rowing, and fell upwards for 15 years afterwards.

Not just the ones that started at Harvard, though. The way the corporate springboard is built, at some point in every executive's career, gravity reverses itself, and they simply cannot fall at all (unless they choose to)... You never see a SVP at a FAANG drop back to being a mere Director after a bad run. They will always fail their way into CEO at a smaller company or something. You never see a Director go work for some other company as a Software engineer after failing to get promoted. None of this class ever seem to be worried about "Crap, what if there are layoffs--will I need to be an IC (individual contributor) for a bit until I find my next VP job?"

I'm closing in on 50, still as an Individual Contributor worker bee. If I lose my job, I face a non-zero likelihood that I'll be unable to find anything else besides stocking shelves at Home Depot. If I were ever to reach "Director" level, I'd never have to worry about that again.
Yes you are right that allowing speech that questions election integrity does create some instability. But the way to deal with that instability is not censorship. Censorship just convinces people even more that something nefarious is going on. Especially in the case of elections because the people doing the censoring are the ones whose power is being questioned. Similarly, overt censorship only emboldens hateful groups. The only way to combat these bad ideas is to allow them to be discussed and defeated in the greater marketplace of ideas.

e.g. someone going down the path of antisemitism will not get a chance to hear the other side of the argument unless the topic is allowed to be discussed openly.

There are other nice examples of Klan members making conversions after having open discussions with people in a safe environment, when they were reached out to. This type of conversation is not possible in an environment where top-down censorship is happening.

If you look at history, top-down censorship has been one of the best tools used by dictators to seize and keep power, and if you allow it’s use for good intentions, eventually it will be used for evil.

But consider a future where an election really is rigged, I’m not saying it happened in the US, but it DOES happen in many countries such as Russia and it is not a complete impossibility. Without freedom of speech, democracy really is doomed. The people in power will be able to keep power and silence any dissent.

Imagine a future where a demagogue attempts to seize power and create a dictatorship, if there is an established precedent that it’s okay to silence speech for “safety” reasons, all the person has to do is classify all dissent as unsafe or racist, or whatever the moral panic of the day might be.

The US has not existed for very long, most countries have had to fend off dictatorship in their history and it’s not impossible that we will face the same thing at some point. Protected free speech is one of the best tools we have to fend it off. Speaking truth to power is more important than protecting people’s feelings.
But should incentivizing your behavior be a _policy goal_. I think not. Cities are mainly engines of wealth creation with concentrated opportunity. We should expand the supply of apartments in city centers so that they can remain so. They should not be nearly as expensive as country club suburbs. Our grandparents' grandparents understood this and made room for their children and their grandkids. We weren't so lucky with our grandparents. We can choose differently for ourselves and our children.

I personally don’t have an opinion on the ratio, but there are many reports estimating that the illicit to legal ratio is much lower than you suspect.

Either way I actually don’t care that much, I think access to the financial system is a human right, and not one that governments or US corporates should be able to arbitrarily remove. Crypto is the only thing we have that is remotely close to preserving the rights that we have with cash in the digital realm, and that makes it OK in my book.
It's also that french and german have somewhat purer linguistic roots, english started as a west germanic language, got admixtures of old norse, followed by massive injections of french and latin (roughly a quarter of the modern vocabulary, each), and uncontrolled pronunciation shifts.

Written old english was quite regular and phonetically sound. It also had a fair number of diacritics (after latinisation).

I understand korean is rather good in that perspective, but also that it has a relatively simple phonology and the korean script is constructed, it was designed from scratch for korean.

Acoustics would also struggle to determine friend from foe, if tanks or arty, and then you'd have to deal with dissipation and echoes and other weird effects. with a radar you actually can spot the the shell trajectory and turn that into a parabolic arc. then make some rough guesses as to how far they've traveled since then ("shoot and scoot"), and you can map out a firing solution that covers most of a given area.

MLRS/rocket arty is great for that since it can fire off a lot of ordinance quickly, at the cost of long reload times. saturate the grid square before their artillery can get away.
