I played around with Detail recently and it was super helpful to point me directly to the code causing some bugs that I know I had, but wasn't sure about the root cause.

Waxing philosophical a bit, I think tools like these are going to be super helpful as our collective understanding of the codebases we own decreases over time due to the proliferation of AI generated code. I'm not making a value judgement here, just pointing out that as we understand codebases less, tools that help us track down the root causes of bugs will be more important.

The easiest way to do this is to misconfigure your CDN so that it caches set-cookie headers.

I could be wrong, but I think this pricing is the first to admit that cost scales quadratically with number of tokens. It’s the first time I’ve seen nonlinear pricing from an LLM provider which implicitly mirrors the inference scaling laws I think we're all aware of.

The phrasing was clear to me on first read. I don’t think anyone would assume 27% of all homes are for sale in one 3 month period since that would imply every home is sold, on average, once per year.

No it's not.

Agreed - this is clearly misinformation and IMO it should be removed.

Totally a fair criticism, but I can't look past race when the white residents are accusing the mostly brown car club of dealing drugs.

Yeah this is hard. Honestly E. Cezar Chavez is lucky in a lot of ways because Pio and the Brit are so active in the community. The one thing I can say is that you should meet your neighbors, join in if there's a block party and just generally talk to people in-person. If you do that, I'm sure you'll meet someone who is at least the de-facto community leader.

But whatever you do, stay off of NextDoor -- nothing good happens there.

Totally fair! It didn't dawn on me (though it should have) that this practice is a physical safety hazard - noted!

This is way more nuanced than a HN comment could ever express, but my opinion is that this situation is a two-way street. The people moving in need to adapt to the neighborhood while the long-term residents need to adapt to the changes happening around them. The key though is that it needs to be a smooth, fluid transition that involves gives and takes on both sides.

I don't think calling the cops and asking them to "shut it down" is a productive way for driving change in the community at all.

Also, completely selfishly, those kinds of actions give the gentrifiers who respect the Tejano community and traditions a bad rap. I really don't want to get to a point where all the long-term residents paint all the newcomers with a broad brush because of the Weaver people. At the beginning of Covid, newcomers were helping elderly long-term residents and vice-versa, but if crap like this keeps happening, those bonds are going to be strained.

I live in this neighborhood, about three blocks north of where the car club meets. I’m white. I’m a homeowner. You get the picture.

Honestly, these people complaining in Weaver sound insane. They moved into a community and it’s their job to integrate with the community. We have a Brit who lives on my street that does community organizing and he’s been wonderful about building a sense of community that integrates the old and new residents. They should really be talking to him or Pio, mentioned in the article, instead of calling the police and accusing the car club of dealing drugs. Yeesh.

With that said, I think there are legitimate criticisms about the car club. For one, they absolutely trash the place every Sunday. When I walk down to the lake on Monday, there’s just tons of trash on the ground. I don’t know who picks it up but it’s certainly not the car club.

Also, doing burnouts and donuts on public streets sounds fun but it leaves the road covered in tire rubber and I imagine it smells awful while they’re doing it.

Those are basically the two things I’d like to see change, and in my humble, gentrifier opinion, they seem like reasonable issues to talk about with the community. Instead of having those conversations, we get white people leveraging their white privilege in the worst ways and anarchist groups like “Defend Our Hoodz” intimidating new businesses that open up. Fun times in my little corner of the world.

But recently, the U.S. Treasury has issued a ton of debt to the Federal Reserve. The Fed is creating dollars and handing them to the Treasury in exchange for T-notes. The recent debt increase has actually created U.S. Dollars out of thin air. Following this line of thought, those dollars have made their way into the "real" economy in the form of PPP loans and Covid checks. It was a similar story in 2008, but the amount of federal debt held by the Fed has exploded this year [1].

Furthermore, the last time the Fed has tried to draw down its balance sheet of federal debt, commodity prices went crazy and Jerome Powell had to abandon that quantitative tightening program. So, it's not even like the Fed can easily move those T-notes to the private sector and pull USD out of circulation -- we're stuck in an inflationary period.

"Don't let the perfect be the enemy of the good" is something that needs to be included in climate conversations a lot more.

You don't have to be a vegan hermit to have an impact. Eating a little less meat, foregoing one flight, and biking to work once a week is better than not doing anything and that's great.

In general, you run a Docker container on Kubernetes. Most people do not do Kubernetes without Docker.

AAhhh that makes more sense! In that case, edits at the edge do make a lot of sense.

It's possible I'm missing something, but everything in this blog post seems extremely narrowly applicable.

The author points out that you should just handle redirects in the platform if you can. For hreflang tags, is there a reason besides using a legacy system that you need to inject hreflang tags outside your app/platform?

oh - are they? I read this [1] blog post a couple weeks ago which has no mention of GPUs.

This looks pretty sweet.

With that said, I seriously think they're missing an opportunity by not offering GPUs. If DO offered a product similar to PaperSpace, basically a dead-simple GPU to connect to your notebook, I don't think small teams would need to look anywhere else for their cloud computing needs.

Title is misleading. Overall emissions didn't fall, rather, "Greenhouse gases emissions from the largest U.S. industrial plants fell 2.7 percent in 2017"

Well, except for Paxos. :P

We basically did the same thing except we used Ansible for our templating. This allows us to store all our shared "environment configuration data", e.g., name of RDS for services in prod environment, name of backup S3 bucket for services in dev environment, in an Ansible role then just pull that information into our templated deployment manifest file. So far, it's worked out pretty well for us.

We're on AWS, so this is tangentially related. At my company, we moved to k8s because we have quite a few low-usage services. Before k8s, each one of those services was getting its own EC2 instance. After k8s, we just have one set of machines which all the services use. If one service is getting more traffic, the resources for that service scale up, but we maintain a low baseline resource usage. In short, it's resulted in a measurable drop in our EC2 usage.

It is incredibly low for bonds in the "junk" trough. For companies with Tesla's credit rating, you're typically looking at 6.5-7.8%. If you're GE, you're of course going to pay a lot less, but GE has a much more robust credit history.

What decisions do you regret?

So, this is actually pretty common. I know that both Google and Facebook use a huge mono-repo for literally everything (except I think Facebook split out their Android code into a separate repo?). So, all of Facebook's and Google's code for front-end, back-end, tools, infrastructure, literally everything, lives in one repo.

It's news to me that Windows decided to go that route too. Personally, I think submodules and git sub-trees suck, so I'm all for putting things in a monorepo.
