I cheerfully propose this is evidence of a hacked universe. More specifically that there was a design flaw in the core structures and that water got tweaked as a band-aid - rather than rip the germ-code apart and rewrite it.

A big fat citation needed on all of this. It’s all just your personal opinion and you make a lot of assumptions about all these developments lumping them all together as if they’re 100% identical.

You really think none of these 5-over-1 buildings have community amenities like gyms, pools, coworking spaces, party rooms, and other features like that?

I think the truth is that there’s such a deeply ingrained hatred for multi-family buildings in the United States that buildings like this are held to impossible standards, and that’s what you’re doing here.

You could accuse almost any McMansion sub-development of every sin you’ve listed besides having hallways - which is kind of a hilarious accusation to make, that hallways impede communities. Tell me, which McMansion development forces you to walk by your neighbor like a hallway does? It’s really the opposite, you can leave your McMansion home without even stepping food outside your private property - garage to car to road to Starbucks drive thru. No need to get out of your car or interact with anyone.

And the idea that all these developments only have overpriced retail is not only laughable but it still beats out McMansion developments for having zero retail of any kind. But again we are holding multi-family developments to higher standards than single family homes that are so lovingly adored.
I read "Have taken up farming" as "I now make a living from farming and nothing else". Maybe that was wrong of me to assume that but I was also thinking that's what the parent comment was referring to as well.
Who'd a thunk there'd be so many Michiganders on Hacker News?

Counterpoint: I have been programming for 27 years and I am constantly trying to find more ways to spend time indoors, or to make the indoors time more indoorsy: blackout windows, sub-basements, HVAC upgrades (currently lusting after a central whole-house humidifier).

Not everyone thinks “touch grass” is the answer. I want to live in the second subbasement 24/7, or in space.
Well, some alien species a few hundred million light years away, with a big telescope, could be currently watching the Chicxulub meteor hit earth, and all the dinosaurs subsequently starving to death.
yes, that's why it makes sense to put compensatory tariffs on subsidized products. (and one argument is that US agricultural subsidies are to compensate for low cost of labor elsewhere)

> Local industry can't compete.

if local cheap labor cannot compete with used overseas clothing, then they shouldn't. focusing on comparative advantages is important.

and now because there's a very unproductive sector someone figured out banning imports is a "solution", but it only conserves the problem.
That's kind of the tradeoff you make with any low-code/no-code technology. You leverage prebuilt components and string them together to achieve some kind of task. Which isn't most efficient thing in the world to do but it does work assuming you have enough compute resources to throw at it, and return what you generally achieve is an end product that's completed faster than the traditional development route.

You could just use SQL but then you'd have to develop and test the entire infrastructure to support your component-oriented architecture from scratch, and at that point you're kind of just reinventing the wheel because that's basically just pandas with less features.

Low-code is kind of just Authorware for a new generation... assuming you're old enough to remember that technology.

Not strange coming from the company that deliberately slowed down older models (batterygate).
I think that something causes widespread harm and so I want that thing more regulated. If the EFF's article only touched on the First Amendment problem, I would wholeheartedly agree with them - it's the other parts which sat poorly with me.
I believe that social media's desire and displayed ability to gain, maintain, and control people's attention is dangerous and that the government should highly regulate that danger. I continue to support free speech, including free speech on those platforms.
If I had 3-4 services and a bunch of databases, I would look at them and ask "why do we need to introduce network calls into our architecture?" and "how come we're using MySQL and Postgres and MongoDB and a Cassandra cluster for a system that gets 200 requests a minute and is maintained by 9 engineers?"

Don't get me wrong, maybe they're good choices, but absent any other facts I'd start asking questions about what makes each service necessary.
Maybe. But when I think "tech" the first thing that comes to mind isn't "sustainability". The first things that come to my mind are "cost, maintenance, consumption and waste".

High yields are 5% now -- I get who cares about 2k now, personally I wish I did the high yield earlier. I did somewhat similar to OP for maybe 10 years and lost out on low 5 figures when I go back and calculate interest lost.

I am familiar with the perks for BoA and they are not worth losing out on high yield interest at this range. If the reason is for safe deposit though (as the OP said) it is very much not worth it. (I can't find on google Fidelity perks easily, mortgage is the only one that could plausibly make sense, but I am skeptical of that.)

So my high yield is liquid, I can do large purchases on credit card and pay it off with high yield. It did only take a few hours to create the account for what it is worth, so again IMO worth it over parking a large sum of money in a checking.
Sure, I can vote people into office, and after their tenure they disappear. But I can't vote their incompetent arses out of offices or prevent them from ever getting elected again when they display blatant disregard for human rights.
Air pollution causes ‘excess deaths’ in the sense that people die of air pollution related diseases at some rate instead of dying of something else, generally a short time later. There’s a very different risk assessment between long term choices that have a remote effect on the likely ultimate cause of your inevitable death, versus the probability of premature death through a sudden violent traumatic event.

> Ryssdal: Yes. What about prices? When you take it to market — or when you’re going to take it to market — are you selling futures?

> Hemmes: Well, a lot of people do that. I forward cash grain, or forward contract. Right now, I could sell delivery in March and set my cash price, or set the basis. A lot of people do options to set that bottom. But I’m telling you, Kai, I need some kind of collar because of the whiplash I’ve been getting from these markets — they’re up one day 50, down 40 the next, and everything adds to it.

One issue with AI2 (who makes Olmo) is that some of their input data sets are filtered and curated, to remove things that they deem politically or ethically unacceptable like “toxic” content. This step obviously influences the LLM, but as far as I know it isn’t done transparently in an auditable way. I think being truly open would require a raw dataset to be available without this curation, along with a log of every single instance of curation. The dataset should also not be attached to a restrictive license as they have done.

Ranchers and farmers are quite different and I get along much better with the latter. Their politics coincide when it comes to a common cause, like water for hay.
Airflow provides straightforward parallelism and error handling of dependent subtasks. Cron really doesn’t.

With cron you have to be more thoughtful about failover especially when convincing others to write failure safe cron in invoked code. With airflow you shouldn’t be running code locally so you can have a mini framework for failure handling.

Cron doesn’t natively provide singleton locking so if the system bogs down you can end up running N of the same jobs at the same time which slows things down further. Airflow isn’t immune to this by default but it’s easier to setup centralized libraries that everything uses so more junior people avoid this when writing quick one off jobs.
"the market garden" is a book that has inspired younger generations to go back to farming. I know some small scale farms making 100k a year in Portugal. Quite a nice book.
That’s an incredible article, thanks for sharing! Really recommend others to read this.
Look up “Just a few acres farm” on YouTube. Pete, a retired architect, has done all of the above and documented it on his YouTube channel. Heck, add aerial drone videographer and video editor to the list. He makes some excellent videos while cutting hay!

He also has a lot of really practical videos on the business of small farming. He’s very adamant about not going into debt before you start, doing market research in your area, and starting very small but rolling over the proceeds from your first sales back into the farm.
I lived through that era too, it was wild to see how quickly x86 dethroned sparc (even Intel's big misses like Itanium were only minor bumps in the road).

Those days, you had to carefully architect your infrastructure and design your workload to deal with it, and every hardware improvement required you to reevaluate what you were doing. Hence novel architectural choices.

Everything is way easier for normal sized organizations now, and that level of optimization is just no longer required outside of companies doing huge scale.
They're good questions, but they are not answerable blind. The correct choices depend too much on what problems you are trying to solve, the formats and scale of the data involved, the tolerances for downtime and what other software is being used.

My advice is to avoid, in general, low code tools if you plan to have software engineers involved. And once there aren't any software engineers whatever gets built is going to be a mess by software engineering standards so just roll with it. Any tool is equally likely to hit your pain points (and generate an unmanageable mess).

To second this theory with some real-world data. A few startups I worked at a NY scala shop that used tons of Akka (event-driven queuing scala thing). Why? Because a manager at his prior job "saved the company" when "everything was slow" by doing this, so mandated it at the new job?

What were doing that required queueing? Not much, we showed people's 401ks on a website, let them adjust their asset mix, and sent out hundreds of emails per day. As you would expect, people almost never log into their 401k website.

A year or so after working there I realized our servers had been misconfigured all along and basically had 0 concurrency for web-requests (and we hadn't noticed because 2 production servers had always served all the traffic we needed). Eventually we just ripped out the Akka because it was unnecessary and added unnecessary complexity.

In the last month this company raised another funding round with a cash-out option, apparently their value has gone up and they are still doing well!
Design of Everyday Things has some interesting anecdotes and ideas throughout, but I found the style very long-winded and dull. Haven't finished it yet though.

Similar book, The Evolution of Useful Things by Henry Petroski, was a bit more to the point, even though there is also plenty of philosophy on design, success and failure.
It seems everyone is taking them literally. Is that something confirmed or is it more of an allegory?
The lady went through a horrendous time, but she seems incorrect that the ‘whole World hates Jews’.

I don’t want to call the lady a liar, she has went through a traumatic time and may have a lot of hatred for Palestinians as a result (I couldn’t blame her) but it’s wrong to tarnish everyone with the same brush.

I don’t believe the World hates jews. The world aren’t antisemites, they are anti what Israel are doing to 2 million Palestinians.

I do feel a lot for this lady. It will have been traumatic. Especially for all of the hostages which haven’t been released so far and for the ones who were unfortunately shot to death while holding white flags.

Terrible. But peace is achievable. It won’t happen if Israel refuses to take accountability or if people in Israel aren’t allowed to question the ethics and tactics of the ‘response’.

It’s a lot of walking on eggshells as there is a constant insinuation of being an antisemite when you question Gaza.
> What is the difference between socialism and communism

It's a bit like the difference between "liberal" and "libertarian". It is a gradient.

Socialism is a more global term that includes communism. Communism wants to remove social classes and the notion of state. But there are ways of being socialist in a democratic state.

It is a gradient, you can be more or less extreme. Communism is a pretty extreme notion of socialism.

Some EU countries are more "social", i.e. the socialist parties are strong and society is organized in a much, much social way than the US. But US people have this tendency to think that either you are libertarian, or you are communist.
65 million light years away, unless there is a system of giant mirrors out there.

It is a nice thought though. That was a real rough day for Earth, but we turned out alright in the end.
But in the case of the solar pwer generation and storage, the added use didn't have a negative effect...There's no penalty for using more, so they use more.
I would guess that if you can get payouts from some small chunk of users, you can then use those funds to 'reinvest' in tracking down and catching more.

As soon as the process is sufficiently automated to be margin positive, you might as well scale it up to the whole population.
Before you accuse them of being slums, maybe take a look at the construction quality of your own recently-built single family home. It’s not like Ryan Homes are built to last.

5-over-1s are being built across the country because almost every metro area has high housing demand.

NIMBYs can’t seem to imagine someone choosing to live in a multi-family home. They’d rather the middle/lower middle/working class stay out of their town entirely and keep their inflated property values for their single family home.

Fun fact: one condo building generates the same/more property tax income than a square mile of single family homes.

So if you like low taxes in your city you’ll welcome 5-over-1s with open arms. Single family homes alone basically can’t sustain city coffers because they generate so little revenue per quantity of land, even lower than trailer parks.

Well yeah, TDD. Many companies already work this way, and the LLMs are ok at generating the test-passing code.

From my experience though, it's better at writing tests (from natural language)
Do you grasp what a future is?

Having home/car/health insurance protects you against it being destroyed.
Buying fuel futures protects you against the price of gas spiking.
Having crop insurance protects you against your crops being destroyed.
Selling crop futures protect you against the price of your crops falling.

It's all protecting you from events that would seriously hurt your finances, aka hedging/insurance.
Show HN: I've built Routify, a global serverless API gateway
Hello HN, for the past couple of months I've been working on Routify and wanted to share the progress made so far and hopefully get your opinion/feedback on it. Routify is a global serverless API gateway which handles routing, authentication, rate limiting, load balancing, monitoring, transformation etc (with more coming soon).

Routify makes it easier to manage and secure public APIs. It's distributed across many regions globally and acts as a proxy between your clients and your services. You can configure it through the interface in a matter of minutes (no code required).

There are three main concepts:

- Routes - paths that define different operations in your API (can be with dynamic/optional/catch-all parameters)
- Backends - a cluster of endpoints where the requests will be proxied to
- Middlewares - functions that are executed in a specific order in Routify edge proxies and define how requests are processed.

You can use it as a reverse proxy, as a gateway between your APIs in different cloud providers, as a geo load balancer or simply as a monitoring tool for all requests going through your API. It also provides multi-region healthchecks and alerts based on the requests.

So far, it has processed 100+ million requests without any issue. The average processing time for route matching and middleware processing is ~1ms (this does not include the network operations when proxying the requests).

For those interested, Routify is in public beta and free to use at https://routify.to.

You can check a demo of how it works here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iDisClPv09A

Thank you!

This is a terrible, terrible misconception about what constitutes a farm and farming!

Yes you can 'farm' on an industrial scale, or you can 'farm' on your parking strip. You're right when it comes to the former, and couldn't be more wrong when it comes to the latter.

> everyone is too dismissive

I am, indeed dismissive. I don't believe any crime justifies mass surveillance. Client-side scanning in all public chat apps cannot be described any other way. I am therefore opposed to it without any room for subtlety.

That does not mean I don't care about child abuse. If someone wants to propose more funding for law enforcement to investigate crimes against children and additional resources to support victims, I'm all for it.
Running an industrial farm that makes money efficiently is different than living on a plot of land with chickens and cows, giving you a cheap lifestyle.

Isn't it rather one child looking after two parents these days?
Yeah, maybe he means he’s just going to play stardew valley all day.

Preach. You'd never see Tyler Cowen post on this. He only talks his book. Number go up.
30 years ago this garden was the only thing that helped my family and millions other people survive when USSR crashed. 600 square meters planted mostly with potatoes provide enough food for family to survive winter and next summer and even sell something. And it's not that hard work, because people usually had their main work for some tiny money and maintained garden before and after work.

I think that everyone should own some land to feed himself in the event of economy fallout.
Because most people these days only own a smartphone.
Nope. "As of 2017, identified uranium reserves recoverable at US$130/kg were 6.14 million tons (compared to 5.72 million tons in 2015). At the rate of consumption in 2017, these reserves are sufficient for slightly over 130 years of supply."
Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uranium_mining#Peak_uranium

Nuclear produces about 9% of electricity worldwide ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Energy_mix#World ), which in turn is about 22% of the consumed (final)) energy. Nuclear produces less than 2% of our energy.

This is roughly linear: 130 years at 2%, therefore 65 years at 4% (and no one will nowadays invest in a reactor with no hope to exploit it for at the very least 60 years)

Exploiting uranium ore of a lesser grade is possible but quickly gets more expensive and adds to nuclear greenhouse-gas emissions ( see the study "Life Cycle Greenhouse Gas Emissions of Nuclear Electricity Generation" in "Journal of Industrial Ecology" (2012, Warner, Heath)): up to 110g eqCO2/KWh .
There is no definition of what an "open source AI model" is.

Too bad the AI Act was rushed, without waiting for a proper definition and consensus around what it means.
I have some farm land that I lease out to a farmer for hay. Part of me imagines retiring early and living on the land. However, I checked up on it recently while the farmer was out there baling hay. It was 95 degrees and dusty. He told me he was pretty bummed because it was too hot and dry to fertilize earlier this year and his yield wasn't going to be as good as he wanted. Then in the short time I was there, the wheel bearing started acting up on his tractor and he got a flat tire on his rake after the valve stem fell out.

It would take a better person than me to make a living at it.
However, taking less pay for “meaningful” work is frequently an exploitative arrangement.
