Future generations. They are less burdened with the baggage we bear. My fear, of course, is that we olds have irrevocably damaged the physical world they will have to live in.
History is only immutable once it's committed to Fossil, and anything not committed is lost forever. This may sound banally obvious, but I think it's fundamentally the problem with Fossil's approach. With git I essentially commit my entire undo/redo stack. I end up discarding most of that later, while with Fossil I would never have committed those intermediate versions in the first place.

Without history rewriting, the rewriting simply takes place before committing instead of after.
You know how it is in social media -- just like in academia: "Publish or perish".

It doesn’t even seem to make sense from an economic standpoint, leaving the population essentially to gamble and having approx 20% of mortgages coming due each year, threatening the banking sector.
Toronto is such that you can go from the financial district to farmland in less than 40 minutes.

It's a bit annoying living outside the core when you are young since cabs are expensive and regional pubic transit unavailable late but outside of that everything else is pretty close to just as accessible you just have to plan more in advance where when i lived downtown I could just be bored one afternoon and go find a cool event

Interesting idea. I've actually seen similar things over the years, even as early as 2006. Unfortunately these cute little kinds of things usually generate a bit of buzz but then die out. Hope it grows well for you though.

PS: not a fan of the clickbaity title. If it wasn't a Show HN I would have ignored it. A better title might be just what you put in the description, "A joyful slow social media", for example.
Not blind, I have no experience at all with any of this. However what I found quite impressive was witnessing an Apple Store employee guide a blind person through voice over. That to me implies that Apple at least trains some folks in the stores on accessibility features.
This thread by Guido Appenzeller from a16z's AI team is a strong rebuttal of the Sequoia article.[1] I personally found Sequoia's argument a bit strange, since it not only misunderstands the unit economics of the industry at a basic level, but further misunderstands the ways that AI will be "just another component" of software stacks — not unlike databases, high-level programming languages, network infrastructure, etc.

1. Their reasoning is arbitrary. They pick and choose factors to justify their analysis.

2. They would be much richer if they could.
In the US on 30 year fixed rates I understand you can refinance down without penalty. Can someone confirm?
If you're going to mess with capitalization for the title, it would be better ending with "than two Pi 4s" for pluralization -- there is no "Pi 4S" model.
Fair play then. I genuinely thought it was just a little dev/experiment/prototype platform for people, as it was for me. If this is what you need then god speed!
Reduce the friction for people to try it out. It looks like it could be interesting, but the account creation - in particular asking for my email - to do anything is enough friction that I would rather just close the window and never revisit.
Yep, I'm trying to build a language that allows UI designers to express their design decisions: https://matry.design
I’m not sure I agree with you. Toronto is already pretty dense and there’s a crazy amount of construction. I have a hard time believing the problem is zoning.
I'm skeptical about the maths and physics ones.
Another kind of patch is when a common dependency library is being updated, and laggard upstreams need patching to make their current releases work against the newer library; it's either that or a Debian release with those packages missing.

This type is actually really common. Debian packages something like 30k upstreams, and so some are always behind.
More people in a relationship introduces a larger surface area for interpersonal conflict. Communication is always hard even for two people, not to mention jealousy and the challenge of learning to live with another. It becomes exponentially harder when a third person is added.

That just adds to the chances of instability between parents. 2 parents is essentially a stable maximum
These things don't demo well precisely because a demo doesn't help anyone to understand the decisions made in developing them. You can not just say "prepare to demo them anyway", that doesn't do anything useful.
That I'll hit my goal of a 100kg bench press this year.
Ok I see what you’re getting at. Maybe a better way to construct this version of the argument is

- every integer > 1 is either a prime or a product of primes (this is easy to show by induction)

- assume there’s a finite number of primes

- then the product of all primes + 1 must be either a prime or a product of primes

- but we know that it’s _neither_ (can’t be divided by any of the primes in the list, and not itself in the list), which is a contradiction - it had to be one or the other.

On Ebay they sell pothos for monsteras.

On Etsy , it seems everything is a scam. They set up a shop selling plastic toys or dolls, then they switch to expensive plant cuttings that are obvious scams, and etsy seems to do absolutely nothing about it.

It’s a problem with laptops especially, where massive coolers aren’t a possibility (at least if you want the laptop to be more than just technically “portable”). Even worse, tiny whiny fans are the standard there which means anything with much power at all will have times where its fans are screaming. Really annoying.
Don't ever apologize for caring. I didn't think it was a rant really.
> This implies that rail is running at capacity during the night, which I suspect isn’t true.

cry-laughs in German Oh hell yes we do run at nominal capacity, actually often enough above. The transit routes are fully booked all times of the year, the demand for freight transit is insane, and every bordering country is complaining that we can't get our shit together (to no one's surprise after 30 years of perpetual budget cuts).

The problem is: virtually all trans-European routes run through Germany. You can't avoid running through here.
Wikipedia is an authoritative source of information, has been repeatedly tested and examined for accuracy, and is cited by experts often.

Yes, it's banned in universities, but that's largely as a holdover from when anyone could edit it. Wikipedia is repeatedly tested to be more accurate than Britannica, which has never been banned.

It doesn't matter anyway, as Encyclopedia articles are summaries, and the actual sources can be referenced.

In this case, the article is correct, explains why it is correct, and certainly trumps your baseless assertion.
That’s interesting, care to share them?
The default ISO didn't come with non-free drivers until the latest release (12, bookworm). Unless you used the "unofficial" image which did include them. Now the situation is different.

Here is the relevant part from the release notes:

> In most cases firmware is non-free according to the criteria used by the Debian GNU/Linux project and thus cannot be included in the main distribution. If the device driver itself is included in the distribution and if Debian GNU/Linux legally can distribute the firmware, it will often be available as a separate package from the non-free-firmware section of the archive (prior to Debian GNU/Linux 12.0: from the non-free section).

> However, this does not mean that such hardware cannot be used during installation. Starting with Debian GNU/Linux 12.0, following the 2022 General Resolution about non-free firmware, official installation images can include non-free firmware packages. By default, debian-installer will detect required firmware (based on kernel logs and modalias information), and install the relevant packages if they are found on an installation medium (e.g. on the netinst). The package manager gets automatically configured with the matching components so that those packages get security updates. This usually means that the non-free-firmware component gets enabled, in addition to main.

Yes, while more money is welcome, hiring staff beyond say 3 people is not really what a solo dev wants to do. Ideally hire no one!
Pot plant mania has declined since its peak a few years ago in New Zealand when tiny monstera was going for $100, while you can get a large established monstera for $100 today. Unlike tulip bulbs pot plants do have aesthetic value and those who overpaid did it because they genuinely wanted a plant, not for speculation.
I didn’t realize this weird little world is so wide spread. I’m into tissue culturing and noticed a lot of people becoming a bit obsessed with culturing certain species, but I was totally perplexed when I saw some cultures selling for thousands. Even hundreds is crazy.

This reminds me of the old days when you’d spend quite a bit to get various strains of mycelium. Not as statusy by any stretch, but seems just as bizarre on the surface.

Ultimately these plants are worth pocket change once they flood the market. It’s only impressive to have them while they’re still rare.

Another totally bizarre part is how these genetic mutations which make the plants desirable often disappear as the plants grow.

The amount of expected social security payments is independent. They don't have enough "money" in the "trust fund" for that regardless.

The point is that the "trust fund" is a NOP. It's like writing a check to yourself. When you go to deposit it into your account, your account balance doesn't change.

Every penny the Social Security Administration withdraws from the "trust fund" is either coming out of that year's general revenues or is causing the US government to sell more treasuries into the bond market. It's the same thing that would happen if the "trust fund" was empty and the money the Social Security Administration pays out in excess of what it collected that year came out of general revenues or deficit spending.

Worrying about what happens if it "runs out" is ridiculous. It's like worrying about what happens if you run out of checks you wrote to yourself. What you need to worry about is where you're actually going to get the money.

Which you can go ahead and do already because both "social security tax" and "deficit spending" aren't particularly ideal, but that's what's happening today. Social Security tax is one of the most regressive taxes we have.
Because they’re willing to stuff many people in a single residence. Like 3 or 4 to a bedroom. I worked at a place with many migrants and one group had like 10 guys staying in the apartment and they more or less hot bunked the beds as they worked across different shifts.
If considering a trip to this area, be sure to read about McDonald Observatory's star parties and especially the special viewing nights. It's one of the best places to look through a very large telescope in a very dark place. Even looking around from the mountain top, or just the parking lot, is a special experience.
So... this is a competitor to Starlink?

I'm all for additional competition in that space. I am, however, concerned that Weyland-Yutani... I mean... Amazon is doing it.
By that logic, humans should be better at chess than Stockfish, but they aren’t.
The culture you want is one of responsibility and ownership. If you push to production, you make sure there are some people around to help if there is an outage. You make sure there is a rollback plan etc.
As a nascent field, "why don't you just" ends up with new, useful, applicable techniques, along with many that aren't. We don't know which is which until after the fact.
You can Google the specifics but Canada has the highest per capita immigration of the G20 according to our newspapers (I’ve never checked the underlying data), and the vast majority go to Toronto and Vancouver as our biggest and most multicultural cities. I don’t think OP’s presumption is misplaced.
>What do you like better about your quality of life?

Mainly, how the actions of others (good or bad) don't have as much of an effect on me. Believe it or not, one of the main things was people smoking weed. People would smoke it endlessly. I attempted pretty much every solution before moving. It smelled awful and got into my sinuses and would make me get an instant sore throat. Similar to cigarette smoke. I guess I'm allergic but basically if it got in my respiratory system, my sinuses would be effected and make it next to impossible to breath through my nose. This often would then lead to sinus infections and always a sore throat every night. I literally felt like I had a cold every other day.

I moved apartments but the same damn thing happened. Now, that could be bad luck or it could just be a new normal, I don't care to find out though.

Also now, with an actual area to do "DIY" stuff, I can run power tools and play guitar with amp without annoying anyone, lol.

>Lol. Spoken like a suburbanite! :D Depending on where exactly you live, everything in Manhattan would be within 30-40 minutes.

My bad, by "stuff" I meant city stuff like shows, entertainment, fancy restaurant, etc. For day to day, I'm only a 5-10 minute drive. I've actually been saving a ton of time in tons of ways you don't really consider. 1-2 hours of groceries a week is better (at least according to my wife) than 20-30 minutes every few days.

>Also, many cities see an increase in residents (but a decrease in office workers). People like to work from homes in the city.

That's good. Seems we all are getting what we want, thanks to WFH.
> Originally, Steven Seagal was supposed to star, with Jean-Claude Van Damme playing the villain.

Dear God.

Supplying your end users the tools they need to do their work is absolutely your job. What do you even mean?
That's just Scrum/Agile?

(I know, those are fuzzy terms.)
Correct, i never get it right

Yes. Also rollback plans/systems and canary releases and things like that should be used to minimize the effect of mistakes. CI/CD cannot prevent 100% of mistakes.
Canadian college graduates are going to feel less happy living with a bunch of other people to share the rent with than immigrants who frequently are ok with multigenerational households.

I left Toronto for an even more expensive area(Bondi) and i see this here too with backpackers willing to live 6 people to a 3 bed apartment while locals feel priced out at the 1 bed or studio level.
Yep. Sometimes they even hire blind people to do it. There was one at the Apple Store I went to when I first was looking into a Mac. Years later, I heard he left though, moving into another field.
And they'll be 3 years late, and try to call it new and innovative. We already know how they work.
> Presumably if there is a drone flying sufficiently low inside your property you might be able to shot it with no legal repercussions.

I'm doubtful height alone is enough to permit you to shoot it down. Items you don't own being on property you do own doesn't give you the right to destroy them. I.e. you can't set your neighbor's car on fire if they park in your driveway.

I would imagine you could shoot down a drone trying to harm you. I would be curious about whether you could net/EMP a drone that was stalking/spying on you. Removed the guns because it's irrelevant to the property damage issue I'm curious about.
GP is not necessarily wrong on the overall points, but they are a little bit all over the place.

Leading with e-bikes being a sign of the decline of our discipline and health kind of threw me. I wonder, have they ever tried pedal assist for 5 miles or so? It's actually spot on for the 30ish minutes of daily light to moderate exercise that is more strongly correlated with longevity than any other type of exercise (at least from what I was reading a few years back).

It's actually far better for most people, especially those trying to get back into exercise in middle age and beyond, to go nice and easy while setting themselves up to be consistent about it.

As for the dieting thing, we can charitably interpret them to be highlighting the important distinction between focusing on dieting vs changing one's diet. Dieting (ie short term, often trendy, extreme, not always backed by any science, sometimes outright silly) absolutely doesn't work as shown by a great deal of scientific literature, and can cause serious harm. On the other hand, changing one's diet in thoughtful and strategic ways absolutely does. Some people rather successfully argue the latter is by far the best way to successfully lose weight and improve health outcomes in the long term.
Saw something where this was being exploited for purposes of misinformation adding fake headlines to news links.
What a cool concept! My friend and I created something similar at a 24 hour hackathon. Users were players who could walk around on a multiplayer 2d map, and you could leave comment blocks in the physical space. The comments were essentially nodes that could reference a specific portion of text from another comment, which reduced the ambiguity of what the responder agreed or disagreed with. Alternative mediums of social media are pretty interesting :)
Wow bravo!
Accelerate - this book has become an excuse for managers to spend outrageous money implementing metrics like lead time and deployment frequency to measure teams, whereas the book actually advises something very different.
Correct.

You're essentially paying to originate a new mortgage (with the same originator as your previous or anyone else).

Proceeds pay off previous mortgage, and no one can really tell you no.

I'm not sure if any US mortgage can have prepayment penalties and be compliant? (for resale of the mortgage debt)

Worst I've seen is "If you pay fully before X date, we'll charge you the closing fees we comp'd you originally."
It’s blatantly obvious that the quote from the article isn’t talking about pushing to #main and potentially breaking production during the weekend. If a team practices true CI/CD, they surely have excellent safeguards and 1-click (if not automated) rollbacks in place.

I imagine the only people who would think otherwise have some pretty dysfunctional repo setups and/or policies.
I think it's much more expensive to be a migrant. You do know how to live cheaper in your native country. It's difficult for a foreigner to learn those later.
For x86? Yes. There are many holes in the opcode space that are regularly filled. The bespoke encoding comes from there not being (really any) holes in the beginning, and the designers trying to work around it.
The core South of bloor is dense but outside of that with exception to a few spots along Yonge and the 401 Toronto is almost entirely single family housing.
Remember that scene in the Matrix when Neo sells an exploit(?) on a Minidisc? In 1999, they felt like the future. Plus the mobile players felt so mechanically satisfying to use.

What I really miss about them is they're theoretically great for long-term storage. The case was fairly robust, and data should be incredibly stable because the disc has to be heated past the Curie point during recording.
It really depends on the instance, as plug-in hybrids have traditionally had rather anemic pure-electric ranges.

If it can do, say, ~75km pure electric with reasonable climate comforts, then I imagine it should be able to handle a majority of commutes with just home charging and is for all practical purposes a BEV in daily operation.

It gets muddy below that though, requiring either quite limited total daily driving or multiple charge rounds every day...
> But there are easy things that can be done.

Sure, like stopping subsidies to fossil fuel industry but I don't think cutting CO2 emissions is easy as you paint. How would we do that in a short notice? Through government? I'm extremely pessimistic towards "solutions" that require bigger government or new taxes as politicians almost always follow perverse incentives and don't care about long term consequences. My government subsidizes the coal industry using taxpayer money while making it hard for citizens to generate their own clean energy through laws and taxes. Government isn't the savior.

> We won't ever understand the problem space of the entire ecosystem well enough to make a complete solution.

More data and better models does nothing to prevent the planet from warming but help us plan mitigation strategies ahead and give us more confidence towards the efficacy/consequences of interventions. Right now we clearly understand that the planet is warming and that we are somewhat close to a cascading failure but what else? I don't like the prospects of downing living standards to the stone age so we may delay global warming. This isn't a solution and is a big sacrifice.
Twitter is just embarrassing now. I haven't used it in over a year now. Turns out it's absolutely unnecessary for a normal, well-informed lifestyle.

Oh well, the system may simply collapse and not be able and it won’t be pretty. But that will be a starting point for rebuilding.
It sparks the same questions people have about starlink - how long do the satellites last in orbit before they need to be replaced? How do they impact astronomers? How sustainable is satellite internet?

Saying this in light of:

- how many satellites are in orbit - this chart showing the change over recent years: https://astrodon.social/@Astromeg/111164811749991554

- this thread a while back speculating about starlink: https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/1563158073694310401.html
Everybody is different, but what I like has changed a lot over the past 35 years and I don’t expect that to stop. The city was the right place for me for part of my life, but right now it really isn’t. When I get old and need more access to healthcare, it might be again.
Eeeh, better to adjust to the respective minimum wages (if your country had them at both times) or median wages (if not).
Apple uses LPDDR, which is what's used in all smartphones and most really thin laptops. LPDDR has the exact opposite design goal from HBM: LPDDR is optimized for high bandwidth per pin to enable low pin counts, while HBM relies on advanced silicon interposer packaging to enable extremely high pin counts allowing for modest bandwidth per pin. The only similarity is that Apple puts the LPDDR in the package with the CPU, but it's an entirely different and more mundane packaging technology compared to what is used for HBM.
