I don’t think it’s useful for literally capturing every idea, but it captures as many as you can get down.

> unless something on the order of the New Deal is enacted

I think when people say this, or hear it, they mostly think of spending money on more infrastructure projects. But the problem today isn't having money to spend, its that the money is spent spectacularly ineffectually. NYC transit itself is famous for this.

We don't need a New Deal nearly as much as we need something more like a reckoning for the failure to use money effectually.

eg: https://www.cbsnews.com/newyork/news/mta-overtime-pay/

> Harry Dobson, a Metro-North structures supervisor, boosted his regular pay of just over $113,000 to over $345,000. At $54 a hour, that means he worked 4,255 hours of overtime.

> Kendell Ward, an assistant station master on the Long Island Rail Road, boosted his base salary of nearly $109,000 to over $335,000. At $52 an hour, that was 4,353 hours of overtime.

Suggest complete operational failure. Would be insane to give this org more money.
Makes sense, but how about Dropbox / iCloud Drive as alternatives? PDFs / images are somewhat small (at least relative to videos). I just stuff all my PDFs in Dropbox. I'm almost completely paperless and I don't seem to accumulate that many scanned docs to fill up even the free tier storage space.

The book has much worse terrible treatment of women than the movie. If I recalled correctly there was some plot point about the computer trying to understand human behavior related to sex I guess, so it sets up some terrible scenario.
> We could write a one-shot resolver that implements the entire query. [...] This brings up the meta-question about why use GraphQL in the first place [...].

This seems like a reasonable approach to me. Give downstream-developers the opportunity to work unobstructed, then observe which queries are slow / heavily used, and implement optimised resolvers for just these cases.

In the worst case, you might not save any work on your end, but at least teams that depend on your api are never blocked from iterating.
Sorry, I'm not trying to dismiss anyone. I do love cities, but that's my thing.

> “Parks” for instance…from my experience, a city would not be where I’d first look for this.

Cities often have all sorts of interesting and varied parks, often beautifully designed, with public art, museums, etc. Look at Central Park, Golden Gate Park, the parks along the lake in Chicago, etc. Look up all the parks in Manhattan alone. LA has wild valleys near the Hollywood Hills. And if you look around, you can find lots of wonderful, unknown, small parks. The economy of scale - resources to design, build, etc. - can lead to some wonderful spaces.

Obviously, out where there's more space, there are larger undeveloped areas; those differ from urban parks.
To be fair, even for running a single process the pitfalls are real. I've been seeing Tini[1] a lot for these situations.

I agree.

How long until subcritical experiments need to turn into supercritical ones? At some point you have to do an integration test or no one can say anything of certainty.

Proving a sample of plutonium emits the right dose of radiation when whacked appropriately is a great starting point, but it doesn't validate the rest of the weapon system.

You could test the bombs with inert cores to prove everything outside the physics package is valid, but there is still the "but sometimes" bullshit space where perhaps the core seems good on paper but the neutron initiator has an undue delay related to aging circuitry and we lose 80% of the expected yield. Whatever the case - in isolation both system elements might test OK but they could still fail when combined.

I feel like the dial-a-yield devices are most precarious (e.g. B61). How could you really know you aren't going to over/undershoot massively? What is the range of uncertainty on that system after 3 decades?
Yep. Not too mention the actual layoffs that are going on. If you actually look at the hiring for the companies with these layoffs then you find that they are actually growing their workforce while still announcing layoffs. That seems almost designed to depress wages...

Right. There's been 33 since then, with two more planned in 2024.

The title is pretty misleading, in that respect. The US can't be "moving closer to" something that it's already doing.

- "Currently, the NNSA is building two new subcritical experimental testbeds at the U1a Complex in Nevada. The testbeds will provide data to help address stockpile questions, with a special focus on the impact of plutonium aging on weapon performance. Since halting underground nuclear explosive testing, the United States has executed 33 subcritical experiments. The United States is preparing to execute two subcritical experiments in 2024 and plans to conduct approximately three subcritical experiments per year by the end of the decade."

I've been coding for 42 years (since the age of 13), about 33 years as a professional developer. I do tend to downplay the stuff I did on my own for the first 9-10 years because a lot of my peers started then too, but the stuff since late '89/early '90 counts.

More relevant to the post, I have had some pain in the past, mostly neck/shoulder from the monitor not being high enough, but some finger pain too (tendinitis - even before mice use was prevalent), switching to a vertical mouse has helped to reduce it quite a bit. The mouse I use currently

I use fossil as my daily driver VCS and I feel like it doesn't go far enough in it's ability to non-destructively amend history. The canonical justification for git-style rewriting is taking all the commits that make up some feature and smashing them down into one "implemented feature X" commit which, as far as I know (?), does not have an analogue in Fossil. Even something like forgetting to add a file to a commit requires an additional commit (and shows up as such on the timeline) with a silly "forgot to include file foo in commit whatever" comment.

Ideally there'd be some kind of "virtual commit" capable of (visually) bundling up a range of commits, with its own message and tags; maybe these could be nested so that you could have a hierarchical view of the timeline: initially you see "release X, release Y" but then you can expand any of those to "implemented feature A, B" which can be further expanded into the actual commits.
If you've ever lived in a beach town in the caribbean, south pacific, even hawaii etc you'd encounter all sorts of businesses like this.

Reminds me of the parable of the management consultant and the fisherman, oft quoted here on HN.
There's nothing about refinancing that requires your house value to increase.

The concept is that you are taking out a loan to pay off an earlier loan.

If you borrowed at 8% and rates dropped to 2%, you could refinance even if your house price dropped, and it would still make sense, as you borrowed what you borrowed, and still owe it.

Now, if you are trying to refinance and take some money out from equity, sure, that relies on having greater equity than the loan value.

Land value tax. Makes speculation infeasible and low-density development uneconomical and eliminates a lot of the incentives that drive restrictive zoning.

Also allows the public to capture the financial upside of public infrastructure projects (e.g. building a billion dollar subway today produces a huge amount of wealth for the landowners who happen to be near that project, in the form of increased rent — that can and should be captured by the public who paid for it).

I've found that, for me anyway, one centered large monitor with enough real estate for your daily tasks is better than N smaller monitors. This is even if "total number of pixels" is larger on the N-monitor setup.

It's one less decision to make 1000 times a day (which monitor should this thing be on?), and reduces neck strain resulting from switching your focus between monitors.
> How did any policymaker with common sense not point out that playing the loan game would only end up in disaster?

This is your economy and government policies on neoliberalism. Students are obviously just self interested consumers and the proper polices entail extracting at much money from them as efficiently as possible. Loans that are insured by the government are a high quality asset. And loans like that drive up the price of education. So even more. What's not to like?

It is really worse. I have ton of USB-C cables doesn’t transfer data from flash lights, a lot of USB 2.0 speed cables with USB-C connector, then USB 3.0 cables rated at 5G/10Gbps without an easy way to know the difference, then Thunderbolt 3 / 4 cables one each.

Besides Thunderbolt cables, there is not a standard nor universal way to identity them. I had to test each cable by plug in an SSD then speed test the SSD.

Flash back 15 years, a cable with MicroUSB either transfer data, or not. The difference between high speed / super speed only lives in the device.

Not to mention they're immediately hiring to replace those workers that they laid off. The management is either incompetent or they're trying to depress wages. They openly admit they're trying to achieve "durable savings" which seems like it may be an MBA code word for depressing wages.
Not necessarily. It works if the value of the mortgage is less than the value of the house, which is the vast majority of cases.

Angus Deaton on inequality: 'The war on poverty has become a war on the poor'
Not quite right.

I'd argue the reason you want higher margins in a higher interest rate environment is the "risk free rate" is now higher.

If the risk free rate is basically 0%, you'll invest in a risky business that makes 5% margin. If the risk free rate is 5%, now you want the risky business investment to have 10% margin to be worth the same investment.
That sucks. IME, one needs to pay a bit of a premium to live someplace where you can be assured of not having such headaches (not that wealthy people are better neighbors, but that problem-free residence is in higher demand).

It's interesting to see some people seek to be further from others. I imagine it like particles in a given volume: fewer particles collide less, while I happen to love the energy of more (though not things like second hand smoke in my home). To me, it's like going to a concert - I want it to be wall-to-wall, not mostly empty. (Again YMMV.)

There’s a place for that but one of the reasons many places are desirable is precisely because there isn’t so much density and that everyone owns their properties. It stops becoming nice when you change that too much.

And there’s infrastructure. Places that weren’t designed for the density don’t have the water/sewer, electrical, etc capacity. Traffic too - now there’s more traffic making a place not as nice. So that needs to be sorted out too.
> it should be their baby.

Made that mistake. Glad it only took one layoff to show that that's never true in Big Business. Never again. I am a worker providing my talent to work on a product I don't own. I will take responsibilities but never "ownership". "ownership" implies that I have a stake in the product, and the product goes with me no matter what. Which I have yet to experience (maybe one day).
As I see it there is nothing "rational" about rationalism at all, it is just something like Scientology or the Unification Church constructed for modern conditions. Back in the 1950s L. Ron Hubbard was interested in enslaving large numbers of people to take their money and labor.

By the late 1970s he was starting to regret it because he was now responsible for these people (one reason why slavery quit being economically viable.) Thus began David Miscavige's plan to bleed a few "whale" donors for all they are worth

almost got it right by kidnapping Patty Hearst except they chose a method of mind control that gets you immediately in trouble with the state. Today you would camp out at Oxford or Stanford and develop a small movement not because you really want a movement but you need a movement for the whales to be a part of. In fact you'd develop a network of movements so you can market test ideas and see what works most effectively.

It is so ironic that this group first filters people for a lack of critical thinking skills, and then puts them through a crash course in rhetoric so they can quickly say things like "Ad Hominem!" and then stick like a pitbull. The best way to deal with them online is to snipe at them and not get caught in the tarpitting they'll try to trap you in.

We use render at Caido.

<rant>I am pretty pissed off by their per user per team pricing that was introduced early this year. Specially since you still need to pay for multiple teams to get network segmentation between envs WTF</rant>.

BUT on the compute, it is on par with fargate. I dont know how you arrived at 4x the cost but lets take 1 vcpu + 2GB ram. Render is 25$/month and fargate is 35.50$/month. For 2 vcpu and 4gb, render is at 85$/m and Fargate is 71.10$/m.

For our business, I am considering migrating off render within the next year. Unsure where to yet, I would like to avoid using another PaaS but managing a k8s cluster doesnt appeal to me so still looking.
I deleted my account that I opened in 2007. I was a heavy user and used it to make friends and get jobs. I'm a little sad to see it thrown away like this, but not so much that I wanted to stick around to support it.

It's been years I have 2 or 3 monitors and I find them annoying and mostly a waste of power.

Every now and again I use them as a reference screen against something I'm doing, but my neck starts hurting pretty quick. Alt-tabbing rocks. They tend to be mostly empty.

Alt-tabbing means improved focus "one thing at a time" too.

I'm thinking to keep a large 32" screen in front of me, ditch the side 32" and get a "portable LCD" to put "under" as if my keyboard is a laptop and I'd have a laptop screen below my main screen. That should be hopefully useful as a reference screen.

Having 2 or 3 of the exact same screen makes no sense to me anymore. We're not with 19" CRT Sony trinitron anymore :)

I'm surrounded by a wall of screens and I don't know what to do with them (that is useful and not distracting).

Small note for the author: I was a bit confused at first by the use of "Nix-based" to mean POSIX-compliant [1] since Nix is the name of a package manager that NixOS is based on. I've only seen "*nix" to refer to Unix-like systems.

[1] Which seems like the right condition here? since I believe Unix domain sockets are required by POSIX.

It'd be nice if the CPU graphs contained the y axis. The proportion is a large drop but it's unclear is that's 1000m to 100m or 4000m to 250m (a much bigger cost reduction)

It also sounds like their knative solution is slowly getting flattened into a load balanced or "smart" L7 proxy.

Also curious is they submitted these changes upstream. Seems like a pretty clear use case with numbers behind it which usually helps with interest.

Finally, I really love a solution that net deletes code and makes everything faster (and simpler).

>If they did, it's a bad choice.

It's an excellent choice. Debian provides about 60k software packages compared to say 15k in the Fedora repos. Debian and derivatives vastly outnumber other distributions in terms of available software, it's what drove Ubuntu's popularity, everything's available on it.

You can use it as a stable base OS, but it doesn't have any particular advantage, and even some disadvantages compared to RedHat or Suse distributions which offer you many more enterprise tools like Yast out of the box, package managers that are able to do atomic and reversible transactions, which apt still does not do, and so on.

I think her point is that the local maximum dictates size but not shape; the shape is appropriate for the maxima of different ecosystems.

I just realised that she forgot purring, which only some cats do (e.g. housecats and snow leopards, yes; lions and panthers, no, but rather roar). Those are adaptations to local maxima.

"You revert that commit, then. It's broken."

Personally I don't see why it's likely to cause major issues to allow people to merge PRs outside of business hours either, but depending on your team workflow and build pipeline (which may not be fully automated for any number of reason) it's not that hard to imagine cases where it's preferable to ensure all pushes to trunk occur during business hours (e.g. for cost saving reasons maybe you don't keep particular services running 24x7 that are needed to allow your integration test suite to run fully).
