Should I use GitHub discussions or GitHub PRs with Markdown files to track RFCs?
Dear HN

Many GitHub projects e.g. rust use a combination of markdown files and pull requests to submit and obtain feedback on RFCs. What about using GitHub discussions instead? You could use labels to assign a status, and update the body of the discussion as you receive feedback. It will mean that the RFC is searchable before it's merged in, and you can make use of the nested threads. On the other hand, when using a PR mechanism RFC and feedback are more clearly separated and less likely to "bleed" into each other. The PR status also provides an intuitive mechanism for tracking RFC status. Finally, feedback can be explicitly linked to lines in the markdown file.

I can imagine say a media server running NFS that can be accessed by both local containers and remote hosts.

What I think would be interesting is if you could access NFS on a local machine from a container or VM without using a network. You could have a standalone VM with no networking that could access shared files. (I think some people use 9p for this?)
If you believe 1st Amendment protections extend to prevent censorship from private parties, as Elon et al claim to, then banning this material is unambiguously a violation of free speech.

People here keep blaming the Jones Act but the US has lost manufacturing capability across so many sectors so I don't really get how shipbuilding would be much better without the Jones Act. (Not that I like the Jones Act, I really don't, I'm just skeptical our shipbuilding would be much better without it. We were screwed either way)

Other industries seem to be fine competing with other countries. Would there be some greater investment in manufacturing in the US if there were no labor (or environmental) constraints? Sure, but the fact that other industries compete just fine makes me believe it's simply not an economically efficient allocation of resources for labor heavy manufacturing to be done in the US.

But isn't it the case that national security concerns are being reached, presently, under the effect of the Jones Act? We just don't have the capacity to build the naval vessels that we need for national security.

According to the article he references that talks about the problems with shipbuilding more generally[0], the US has never been competitive in shipbuilding at any point in the post-wooden ships period, long before globalization was the issue.

Disagreeing with someone's decisions is not a valid justification for misrepresenting their motives.

I agree with you, it's kinda shitty, but I get where he's coming from. It's incredibly frustrating to want to improve the security of the world, but when developers have too much ego and push back against claims of vulnerabilities in the face of proof, well...every hero either dies or lives long enough to become the villain.

I've experienced it first-hand at a previous job. I found a buffer overflow in some firmware, and engineering just said "Meh, at worst you'll just segfault the device, and the user can just reboot". The fix would have literally just been a two-line buffer length test that throws a 400 Bad Request (It was an embedded web server written in C, with the vuln being in an XML parsing library), but I had to go through the effort of taking that bug and learning ARM assembly and return-oriented programming in order to create a PoC before engineering decided to fix it.

I suppose I should be happy, though, as that learning experience was the cannon that shot me from just being a test engineer into getting into AppSec.

So he’s improved macroeconomic indicators which are in no way a predictor of how things are for people in the streets using policies which have failed long-term in other countries to which they have been applied. Got it.

There’s a lot of hate for the AI marketing aspects, and that AI isn’t up to par for full lawyer replacements, but they’ve been around with a very working and usable app before way before the AI hype.

Lawyers at huge firms or companies automate the hell out of their legal actions against normal citizens and get things wrong all the time. But it’s okay if they do it because they’re part of the same cabal keeping the legal system afloat. Say what you want negatively about some dark patterns and marketing BS, they’re making legal things affordable to the every day person.

The fine seems fair for overhyped marketing claims, but I hope they keep going and improving.

> I don't know how else to measure the health of books other than measuring the health of publishing

You can start by defining what 'health of books' even means, but your conclusion here seems seriously perverse.

> how does belittling the work of the authors help anything?

What is belittling about acknowledging the fact that current works (especially technical/non-fiction) heavily draw from previous works? The last few technical books I read literally had zero original/unique information - they were just re-organization/re-phrasing/compilation of other works. That's not a bad thing - I think it's great, and the books are great, but is that justification for restricting access to this information - when it is literally 100% based on other works?
yes, that paragraph you quoted from the article is correct, but it omits to mention that there is no limit to how much the landlord can raise the rent when the three years are up

Fully concur with the points you made. I also just finished transitioning my personal website to Astro from an Eleventy setup that I got too lazy to maintain. I made a couple of landing pages for clients and my own projects with Astro and the maintenance experience was eye-opening.

Astro really is quite wondrous. If you don't stray too far from its opinionated route, it's almost magical. But some more advanced things do still take some tinkering. My sitemap and RSS with full text setups I wouldn't describe as the most elegant things in existence, but they do their job.

What I'm still lacking/wondering about is whether there's a CDN static site/serverless hosting provider like Netlify, Vercel or Cloudflare, but that isn't free or $20/mo. I'd like to pay for a good service that obviously has running costs, but I don't believe there's quite something like those.

Anyway, I like the website. It's easy on the eyes.
Now that Finland is a member of NATO, it would make sense to outsource icebreakers to Finland. Finland has 64 F-35 jets on order from the US, costing more than a few icebreakers.

But what does that matter?

Suppose you have a $10,000 credit limit and $100 in your bank account, and then you have to dispute a $100 transaction while also needing to buy something else that costs $20. If the dispute is over your bank balance then you put the $20 on your credit card. That causes you to have a $20 credit card balance, but in the alternative you have a $100 credit card balance -- and may or may not win the dispute.
Which are non critical and can be shed without much harm. Critical industries are, by definition, critical and require sacrificing efficiency to preserve.

If you want to be able to build and retain the capability, you have to protect the machine that does the building: people, institutional knowledge and domain expertise, equipment, etc. Otherwise, you forget how to build, the machine evaporates. And here we are.

"Why Johnny can't read" has become "Why the US can't build X" it seems.
> Sadly, we have learned that that simply does not hold up.

We've learned that the world now is more divided and violent than we had hoped, with the revisionist Chinese and Russians on one side and the US Republicans on the other (or sometimes on the same side as Russia!) So we depend more on the military, and also we can't depend on China's manufacturing to supply military goods.

But can the US depend on Europe's, South Korea's, Japan's, Canada's, Australia's? I think so.

Also, efficiency is everything in the competition with China: China, with ~ 4x the population of the US, can outproduce the US with just over 1/4 of the US's productivity. The US must maximize not only volume but productivity. Adding the countries listed above greatly increases volume, and the US can't afford the productivity cost of spending on inefficient manufacturers - the US needs to maximize output per dollar.
The First Amendment most certainly does not apply to private parties.
What you’re missing is that our ability to move stuff around has already deteriorated to almost nil, precisely due to Jones Act and shipbuilding workforce unionization. We already cannot build vessels we need at quantities we need. This is already reality today. Repealing Jones Act cannot make our situation much worse.

It can, however, make us much better off, by for example allowing US companies to buy foreign ships to do tasks that currently are covered by Jones Act, and as a result are not done at all.

For example, we’d be able to ship gas from American oil fields in the South to consumers in the North, where there missing or insufficient pipeline capacity. Right now, Jones Act forces US consumers in the North to buy foreign gas.

Couple years back, before the Russia-Ukraine war, Russian Gazprom was making nice profit on the following run: 1) sail to Northeastern US, sell it Russian LNG 2) sail to Gulf of Mexico to buy American LNG for cheaper than it sold Russian gas to Americans in the North 3) sail elsewhere in the world to sell them American gas, eg to Europe or Africa.

This was only possible because Jones Act makes it impossible to ship LNG from Southern US to North. There are literally no vessels that can do it. It already cripples our ability to move things around.

What a very balanced opinion that will not at all reenforce my idea that some devs are just idiots blaming managers for everything.

Managers that micromanage are idiots. If they would have been a dev, they would have been a dev that explains that all managers are obviously useless.

> Except it turns out the "pill" in this case is a quack cure, basically. That's why people are resistant to taking it.

The analogy flew very high above your head. I was responding to the logic "if it's daily, it's the proof it's because they believe we are aimless creatures that need to be managed". I just give an example where someone is asked to do something daily, and yet it is clearly not because of that.
I think the argument among the anti-Jones contingent is that our only real hope of having a globally competitive shipbuilding industry is to repeal it and all the other things preventing our shipyards and merchant marine from having incentive to compete globally. As it is, there is a slow trickle of work for domestic shipyards that is based solely on policy (ships that legally HAVE to be US-made, whether for Jones Act reasons or military reasons). Without that protectionism, they would have to build ships at a quality, price, and timetable that is competitive with the rest of the world.

I'm not super sympathetic to arguments that presuppose the absolute requirement that US hegemony continue indefinitely, but certainly if you are trying to make sure your shipbuilders will be roughly as good as foreign ones or better (a reasonable policy goal, even leaving out military reasoning), cutting them off from competition with those foreign shipyards is not going to result in what you want. If there is a ready market for expensive, poor quality ships that take years longer to build than they do abroad, why would I as a shipbuilding executive invest to improve on any of those metrics? It would be wasted money, because my existing capital and workforce are already 100% utilized in high-margin activities, with orders stretching out years into the future.
You are saying that as if sacrificing a tiny industry to benefit the entire rest of the economy is somehow a bad thing. And the merchant marine isn't really big enough to contribute much to a hypothetical war either.

Of course there have to be considerations to maintain the capability to build warships. But other than that the Jones Act seems to do a lot of damage for very little benefit. Though ripping off the bandaid would be painful in that moment

i think you missed my last line. That should answer your question. The government can never be perfect, and killing and innocent is a tragedy. However, you cannot cripple the whole system for this vanishgly small chance or you have an equal chance of success across the system. If you keep making those compromises, putting systems in place to correct the errors of past systems; it quickly becomes a losing game. Put more simply, If you lose trust in the system, you can't rely on the system to fix it.

I’m sure that’s definitely part of it, but there’s lots more stuff to it.

I’d say the “where to register your ship” question is the category of “complicated” - since obviously if we lowered our taxes to be as low as Panama then we’d get more registrations which sounds good - and “low tax” is better than the “zero” taxes we get from them now, but then the other country would just undercut that, and so on, and now nobody can get any tax revenue anymore.

It’s why the global economy doesn’t lend itself to simple sound bite answers like “just build American ships” or “just raise/lower tariffs” etc.

It’s too bad no one on any ballot seems to do anything but useless grandstanding, when it comes to actual problems like this.

I don't find this explanation satisfying. If the Jones Act of 1920 is at fault, how do we explain the timeline? The U.S. was a ship-building powerhouse at least through the 50s, if not through the 70s. Why was there a multi-generation lag between the Jones Act and its effects?

I used to think that false convictions were rare. In capital cases like this one it is close to 4%! That made me think, is it worth killing 4 innocent people to avoid having to imprison 96 guilty ones for the rest of their life? If I went out with a gun and killed 100 people, 4 innocent and 96 justifiably, I may as well be number 97.
