I’m an Aussie who’s lived in the US for 10+ years - you are spot on. Every time I go back all everyone can talk about is property investment and house prices and buying rentals. It was starting when I left 15 years ago but has reached fever

Yes! its amazing, it really should be the default people reach for. Vast majority of people dont need or want the complexity of grpc, they just want protos.

yes! Twirp - last two companies ive worked at have used it to great success. Protos over plain ol http, without all the weird bespoke network stuff of gRPC. We just use regular dns, loadbalancers, etc etc. It should be way more popular IMH

There is a lot of empty practically free land in the world. Also, it is estimated that it would take about ~7 million acres to power the US entirely with solar. The US currently uses about 40 million (!!!!) acres for corn for ethanol. Land

If a state gov made choices that made power way more expensive than it should be, and people get upset enough it theoretically could hurt them in an election. I realize this hasn’t happened in California but it’s possible

Also critically they don’t have to build these coal plant to be economically used in the same way as free market states do. They’re building them mostly as a hedge - if they end up barely used , which is likely given renewable trends, that’

I’ve worked at 3 large scale startups now that removed all their FK constraints due to performance and inflexibility issues. The lack of them never really caused an issue - I’ve never missed them. If you have a services / multiple db a

The huge volume of boilerplate makes the code harder to read, and annoying to write. I like go, and I don’t want exceptions persay, but I would love something that cuts out all the repetitive noise.

Is there any particular reason we should assign any weight to this guess of yours? People have been calling “peak bitcoin from which it won’t recover” for at least 5 cycles now.

You can pretty easily replace it with synthetic liquid fuel, made with clean energy. That’s likely what will happen in the medium term (~10 years) with aviation and marine, because of density as you said.

that was like, 17 years ago? and imho not an unreasonable thing to get a social site off the ground that had no users. Seems pretty irrelevant to the problems of today.

AFAIR it required some unusally large amount of base mem (not highmem). I learned a lot about computers by repetitively breaking the family PC trying to get it to work (by disabling random things in autoexec.bat and CONFIG.SYS to free up as

Postgres has nowhere near all the features of redis. Go and have a look at the redis command’s documentation. They’re not even really similar at all, once you get past basic GET/SET stuff.

Labor is even more in australia, so that's not what's going on here.

What? Electric baseboard are rightly on the out, because they cost a fortune to run. Water based gas radiators are absolutely not cheaper to install in the us than forced air. They are uncommon and expensive. Heat pump forced air is slightl

AC costs effectively nothing to install as a % of new home build cost these days. It’s expensive to run sure, but not to add to a build.

You don’t know enough to have an opinion on climate change, but somehow do know enough to be SURE that nuclear is the only solution? It’s an example of some strange outdated internet meme that someone posts on any energy thread - to come in

I mean your employer wasn’t wrong. Yubikeys ARE way too confusing for the average user, way too easy to lose, etc. maybe have it as an option for power users, but they were right it would be a disastrous default.

But it has gotten harder in some important ways, housing costs as a % of median income have risen by multiples since then. Shelter being thing that probably makes people feel the most insecure

Nuclear would increase costs, due to it being the most expensive form of new generation we have.

Never seen cascading work either. Just ends up in endless wasted time formulating 5th level deep okrs, that become so specific they are quickly irrelevant as the organization changes and pivots over the year.

but with the run up in house prices, the percentage doesnt really do that anymore. For many areas in cali with a median > 1mil... The agent is getting 30k on your 1mil sale. If they push REALLY hard and get it to 1.1 mil, they get 3k ext

Try a semaglutide/glp-1. Ignore the moralizing - they work, when statistically diets and exercise don’t. Diet and exercise obviously are great, but your odds of sticking to it and being successful are woefully low. Don’t beat yourself
