Honestly GP is making two very valid points though.

Something that Clojure does is differentiating between () = lists of calls, [] = vectors (the go to sequential data structure), {} = maps. This definitely helps the eye to see more structure at a cursory glance. It has a little bit more syntax compared to Scheme, but the tradeoff seems to be worthwhile.

Secondly, I think it's very healthy to be wary of indirection and abstraction. I'm not sure if I agree with the tone and generalization about modernism, but I think there's a burden of proof, so speak, when it comes to adding abstractions, especially in the long term.

Ok. So I need to stay awake until I understand these category theoretic concepts, and then I know what a topos is, I guess.

Thank you, that was a very helpful conversation.
Blog post author here (thank you for sharing). I agree, unskippable ads are one of the not-so-nice uses of this API, and considered a dark pattern by most people. That's something that became apparent to me while I was working on the docs and this blog post - of course this API would be used for this purpose.

There's another discussion here about this API where a reader believes it should be behind a permission flag: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33965677#33994536

Personally, I think it's my role to discourage dark patterns in docs and examples and promote user agency and responsible development where I can. In this case, I'm highlighting the sustainability potential by making systems more efficient when resources are not needed. There's a section on 'patterns to avoid' in the post which talks about user control, so 'opting-in' to use of this API sounds like the better approach whether that's through in-app preferences or browser settings while there is no permission policy: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Permission...

The Architecture Kata Log
Yes, I only ever see things as they aren’t
The US, the UE and China have wildly different approaches to many important topics, and the fact they are all affecting the entire world has the tendency to break political stale matches and balance things out.

It shows that diversity is a good thing, you end up having to compromise no matter how rightful you feel.
The bit that "Even if they currently don’t have enough money in their balance to pay rent, [household's] won’t complain and will instead spend less money on resource consumption." seems to be important too...
Fair call and worth mentioning, cheers. I made a deliberate point to highlight the report source but didn't delve into the backend support.

All report producers have some spin direction and agenda, the amount of each varies and some think tanks are more notorious than others for bias (Heartland springs to mind).

That aside, Australia has a small population and at this point in time a rudderless plan for a carbon future; their conservative wing are all in on a nuclear plan that makes little economic sense and pretty much just green lights immediate coal plant expansion and kicking emissions targets down the road, the opposing left and governing wing have been captured by promises of carbon capture from LPG gas producers that are technically more sky than pie.

I've always felt ChatGPT sounds a bit like an American version of Will from the Inbetweeners. It doesn't really comprehend the appropriate register to use from the context in my opinion; it has an affectedly formal way of speaking, it has a very black-and-white relationship with rules, and it employs this subservient tone that really starts to grate after a while.

If my software is going to have a personality I'd much rather something with a bit of natural human cynicism rather than the saccharine corporate customer service voice you get with a self checkout machine.
I'm still thinking about this. There must be a enough money in this endeavor for it to be worth expending this kind of energy in making it seem legitimate.

This raises questions.

What other endeavors, corporations, or practices do we accept as legitimate that are clearly not? FTX is one example that's obvious in retrospect. How about suspect practices that have become legitimized because of the sheer money and power accrued? I'm thinking for example banks that have been caught red-handed doing business with mafias or terrorists but have not been punished. But those are knowns. What are the unknowns?

Real world? As opposed to what?

Is there any benefit to answering such polemical questions as if they are not rhetorical?
What definition of landlord excludes people renting out surplus apartments?
It's more of a triangle really. Size/packaging being the third corner.

Plenty of devices are indestructible and repairable, they're just bulky.
> The fact that there are a not insignificant number of people comparing this game to the real world suggests that basic economic education is severely lacking.

Landlords aren't needed for a society to work. A lot of Eastern European countries have home-ownership rates way beyond 90% [1] - that allows the economies of these countries to be able to undercut Western European countries on wages despite everyday cost of life (e.g. electricity, food, gas) being similar to Western Europe (or, like in Croatia, often enough even more expensive than that!), as there are almost no landlords extracting value off of society and into the hands of the very few very rich.

The only place where landlords actually fill a valid gap are to serve those who have to move to a new place or who are in the country only for short/medium term.

It's not surprising that the countries with high homeownership rates are formerly Communist or (like the Nordics) strongly Social Democrat in history. A population is way happier when they do not have to fear eviction every day in life.

> Now, Colossal Order says, it will be based on a household’s income: “Even if they currently don’t have enough money in their balance to pay rent, they won’t complain and will instead spend less money on resource consumption.”

Good idea, negative reward for increased income. Sounds like a socialist utopia.

I believe a better option would be to remove mortgages. I have a few reasons for this:

1. Houses are priced based on what people are able to pay for them, they cannot hold more value than people can afford. Additionally, there is little incentive to purchase a home when you are old. A mortgage essentially allows a person to borrow significant amounts of money from their uncertain future.

2. Mortgages are becoming unreasonably long. There is nobody that can reasonably suggest that they can afford to repay a mortgage over a period of 50 years. You cannot predict that far into the future regarding your health or employability. We have people now getting mortgages that will last well into their retirement, there is no real hope of these being paid back.

3. In almost all economic turmoil, mortgage issues exasperate the problem. It very quickly becomes a negative feedback cycle. People fail to make payments, banks see increased mortgage risk exposure, mortgage rates are increased, people are less willing to get mortgages & more people fail to make payments, house prices drop significantly - suddenly multiple industries collapse.

Of course in practice this will not be achievable. Foreign investors would still have access to borrowed money that is difficult to track. People would still be able to borrow money through non-official routes (family and friends).

Annec data: We built several houses in the UK ourselves (paying contractors where required). Including the cost of land, our time and all other expenses, the houses were instantly worth 2x once built. In the 10 years or so they have existed, they are now worth 3-4x the original investment. It doesn't add up.
Don't ask me, I'm just an outsider looking in on a complete garbage fire of a system. Judging by their social issues I'd say all two of their parties are equally ludicrous.

I always heard that Saint Petersburg is one of the most expensives cities in Europe compared to income. Is that not the case? (anymore)
The problem is people's perceptions have changed markedly.

20+ years ago, you had a cell phone, maybe, for messages during the day, and that's it. Outside of some simple phone games, most had no internet access, and you weren't constantly in a group chat with people in class discussing how boring it was or something else, so how often it took your focus even if you were subverting the rules was much more limited.

Now, I have my phone in my pocket all the time, and a reputation of being difficult to reach because I often have it on silent to not interrupt my life, when apps randomly find new excuses to pop up notifications midday that have no urgency to them, and businesses expect you to not be bothered if they text you at a random time.

But most people are just on them, all the time, child and adult, so applying a new rule to that will prove challenging, because the group perception is that's unreasonable to do, and people will fight back hard on it, both for that reason and because it's an addictive serotonin drip in your pocket that a lot of people have no practice with delaying the gratification of, any more.

(e: This isn't to say we shouldn't do it, to be clear, but that's why, I think, it will be a hard sell, and because people don't immediately see the value of it, they will probably keep doing things like burner phones, and at least in the US, I think explicit cell phone jamming on your campus is a violation of rules, so limiting how much people can get away with having a secret phone for midday online access is also tricky.)

Same here - I've only ever taken Methylphenidate ("ritalin")
Browsing StackOverflow I saw a suggestion to use NOTIFY/LISTEN for stuff like this (it was a question about sending emails from postgres) – an external process listens for notifications and runs the external commands. No blocking risk, and the external process can run on a different host, but you have one extra moving part to look after.
Show HN: Open-Source Website Builder for Gumroad Products
Hi! This is a small project I did to try out Rails.

I felt there was no easy way to create one-off websites to promote your products on Gumroad. So created website builder, that syncs product details from your Gumroad account and gives you a customizable sub-domain.

There are definitely some rough edges in the product, more of a POC. Built using React and Ruby on Rails.
I agree in principle, but I think there has to be some room for exceptions here. Some portable devices like smartwatches are too space constrained for USB-C and some devices might use too much power for USB-PD but still be too small to include the power supply internally. Also, some of my synth gear uses a locking barrel connector, which I think is a better trade-off than a locking USB-C connector because it can be locked and unlocked faster.

Bundled power bricks are also much less likely to directly be e-wasted without being used.
> Russia does not have landlords. Virtually all apartments available for rent belong to moms and pops who happen to have a surplus so they're renting out.

Also known as "being a landlord"? Maybe I'm missing something!?
> You keep fixating on luxury cars for some reason, I'm talking about fundamental rights recognized in the universal declaration of human rights. I couldn't care less about owning a Porsche or a Tesla.

I'm not fixating - there's no point introducing pop psychology. They're just an easy way to explain a mechanism. I also mentioned hyper-expensive medical treatments, and corrective lenses. If you only saw luxury cars in that list, I don't think you should be diagnosing anyone else with fixation.

> People die every day because they can't afford insulin, which costs about $3 per vial to produce.

This isn't a human rights issue; nor is it a rich people bad issue. It's an economics/corruption/bad regulations issue. People get rich by making something lots of people want for $3 a go. People want to do that.
Make being a landlord too tough, rental properties will disappear.

When you hear "landlord", you might think of a Duke enjoying a lavish meal while the tenants slave away in the fields to pay rent. Or a huge corporation. But there are a ton of middle and upper middle class people who are land "lords".

I was one myself. I rented out my house, after moving to another city for a job, to wait for a market recovery post the 2000s housing bubble. I was a landlord for 3 years. I couldn't wait for it to be over. It was a ton of work and tenants already have a ridiculous amount of power, even in a red state. I turned a small profit that only slightly helped paying rent on my new city.

If you think being a landlord is easy money, give it a try someday. I understand we need to ensure fairness for everybody, but the way isn't cartoonishly demonizing all landlords.
For me it was SimFarm.

Take a peak on Reddit's /r/datahoarders or /r/datacurator. There's also https://wiki.archiveteam.org/ who may point you in a direction.

Sometimes stations do keep a record of their old broadcasts. But that depends on their size, organizational structure, funding, etc. some stuff is just lost to time simply because someone felt it was cheaper to just reuse tapes.

As for value, that's hard to determine. Depends on what was taped, when, by whom and in what kind of context. That's where curation comes in to play.

OP's phrasing is pretty odd. Maybe they're using "landlord" to specifically mean someone that makes a career out of real estate.

No I did not read it, we just arrived at the same conclusions although you were a bit earlier than me to realise this. What opened my eyes was the easy of transition to the ARM-based macs. I fully agree with all your points and that has been my view since around 2021 (when I got an M1 mac).

Once dev computers are running ARM at large no one is going to bother cross-compiling their server code to x64, they will just compile to ARM which will tear through AMD server demand. In fact my own org already started migrating to AWS graviton servers.

And this bodes poorly for Nvidia as well, I bet all cloud providers are scrambling to design their own in-house alternatives to nVidia hardware. Maybe alternatives to CUDA as well to either remove the nVidia lock-in or create their own lock-ins. Although Nvidia is much better positioned to stay ahead in the space.
That may be true within their bounded context. WhatWG is the web/HTML working group, and a URL is something you can type in the address bar, and this tells the browser how to find it, although the browser's configuration may be used implicitly in the process. URIs the browser can't use to locate something are useless in the context of the web. For example news:comp.lang.c may be considered a URN, but when the browser is configured with a news server, it can also locate it, so for web purposes it's a URL.

It's the same as saying humans can't be trusted. Of course you can trust some humans, and of course you can trust some dogs. Just first make sure... my dog took so much "torture" from my kids, and yet they were inseparable. Would I trust some random dog on the street? Of course not...

I wonder if this takes into account all the cheap crap installed in apartments/for-rent units. Those seem to last closer to 10 years depending on abuse and quality (usually just getting scraped up, cosmetically damaged).

It seems like those Samsung/LG smart appliances are constantly breaking (especially fridges)

Really it seems anything with a circuit board is more likely to break (which I suppose is somewhat intuitive given mechanical parts are fairly durable)
"Is it relatively safe?"

I have not been to Bolivia myself, but this question is always relative.

It depends what you count as save and where do you want to go, but also on your experience.

Parent seems to have a higher risk tolerance.

Also it matters a lot, if you can speak spanish and can act like a local. But if you look and act like a helpless gringo tourist, then you will likely get robbed or worse on the first day.

But I know people who hitchhiked there without serious trouble as white gringos. So the answer is probably, it depends.
But it also costs me.

Conversations with lawyer is 1.5h, preparing documents another hour. I need to keep appliance somewhere, which is a storage cost. Average time to resolution is 8 months. I need to pay lawyer up front, and the costs are going to be returned, but this is yet another process. Initial costs are 200€ to even start, not to mention legal fees.

Even a simple form for costs reimbursement has 4 pages and based on requirements would require approximately 2h of gathering receipts, proving communication.

If I'd earn 30€/hour (and my rate is much higher), it would cost me around 600€ to get into the process. Anything outside original amount requires follow-up process so another 8 months.

Do I want to spend 2 years to get approximately 1000€ in total, during which I have not usable washing machine stuffed somewhere in my apartment? Nope.

As for "legal billable hours". Companies of specific size have lawyer on payroll. It doesn't increase the cost for them and they won't blink an eye or even notice. Facebook post will do more damage to them than above stunt, but it won't bring me anything in return.

So yes, they win, because my cost is higher than theirs. And I will stress about it, shortening my lifespan and they won't care at all.
They can be rotated, but that's supposed to be done by train personnel when changing directions. That's the primary purpose. The only time you're allowed to rotate them yourselves is when you're e.g. a group of four - then you can have two sets of seats face each other.

It adds up when you realise that the number of people entering the country (by birth or net legal/illegal immigration or asylum) is far higher than the number of new homes being built.

That may be the case because of low baseline wages. Some people end up pooling a single apt between multiple tenants to cope. But the expenses are also low, meaning many people are able to own an apartment eventually, especially with the help of a safety net of their relatives. Make somewhat above the median and you can contemplate buying. Not sure if that still works with the lending rates and price fluctuations of late, though.

I've updated wording about "landlords".
This is how XML namespaces work. They're URLs, but they identify resources rather than locating them. Often, conventionally, some information about the identified thing also happens to exist at the URL.

You wrote that someone is hammering your IP. This was for me the definition of a DoS. Nothing on your side will mitigate that.

But it does not really matter anyway. Your threat model is a single IP attacking you. What are you concerned about? That they will find services that are exposed and attack them? You should be securing these.

You will never be attacked by one IP. The exact same attack will be done from many, many IPs and you do not want to defend against IPs attacking you, but against them exploiting a vulnerability on your side.

Of course there is the "why not an extra layer of protection". This is great when you want to obscure something (moving a port for instance) because this does not have an effect on your system. Just imagine what happens when fail2ban goes south and blocks all addresses, or half of them, or yours because you tried too many times. This is a moving part that is actually dangerous.
How is "person with a surplus who is renting out their 2nd/3rd apartment" anything other than a landlord?
>would not stand a chance in the world of the 1980s on that hardware

This is what fascinates me about Unix, they created an OS which works with text and processes, as opposed to binary structures and function calls when computers were hundreds of times slower. Even today the overhead of process creation and serialization for pipes is not negligible, how the hell did they manage to do it in 1970s?

If it runs off 30V all you need is a cheap resistor to run it (with 40% loss), or I believe boost convertors are less efficient than buck convertors so it is a win there.

Tempus fugit. I still get taken aback when someone reminds me 1990s weren't 10 years ago. There's a whole generation of adults now, who grew up with touchscreens.

So yes, it's totally possible for someone doing tech today to have never interacted with complex analog interfaces since being a little kid. Still unlikely for the next couple years, but possible.
> Bullshit. Again, I was a TA for this course. You do not spend the rest of the semester on ideas, you spend the rest of the semester on the students being very confused.

I was a TA on an SICP course at a UK university, disagree with you. The students weren't confused, the simple syntax really helped and, because all the students had good maths knowledge, a functional style was a lot more intuitive than imperative.

FYI, the course has since been replaced with Python programming.
