Did you really have to hijack the up and down keys? I can't scroll.

Try scrolling with the arrow keys.

If you are using Go (which solves most of your dependency problems) and SQLite (which means you don't need to integrate with an external database via service discovery) why do you need Docker at all?

attrs classes still have several features that dataclasses don't, and likely never will, [like validators and converters](https://www.attrs.org/en/stable/why.html#data-classes). So it's not obsolete, particularly for anyone already relying on those features.

Heat pump models usually have a resistive element for use when the heat pump can't keep up, or when the climate doesn't cooperate. Then you benefit from the efficiency whenever possible. (Here in coastal CA I have mine set to only ever use the heat pump since the climate is so mild.)

The up-front cost of a heat pump is definitely an issue. IMO we should be doing instant rebates to even out the cost between the two so that it's an easy decision.

The all-in-one units can also be installed with ducting.

My heat pump water heater is at 140F all the time, maximizing the banked energy. There's an outboard mixing valve to reduce this to a safe temperature in the house.

Those are definitely not substitutable. In addition to the difference in glues the peer comment notes (the oak plywood will likely delaminate if exposed to moisture), you need to sheathe a house in a product rated for that use. That oak veneer doesn't have a span rating stamped on it, so any inspector would fail you.

Sonoma's water doesn't come from snowpack.

I disagree... you could always leverage six and/or do conditional imports based on sys.version

Sure it was possible, but what benefit would doing all that work get you? More memory use! It wasn't until Python 3.5 that Python 3 was clearly better for most use cases. Even today the regression import performance is problematic for CLI tools.

The core problem with strings in Python 2 was implicit coercion: you could mix `b''` and `u''` strings pretty freely as long as they only contained ASCII and they would be silently converted as required. Once you leave the ASCII range you start to see data-dependent bugs.

To gracefully deprecate this behavior, you could start by generating a warning each time an implicit coercion is done. Next, make implicit coercion raise an exception, but provide a way to suppress it. Finally, remove the ability to suppress the exception.

As the GP suggests, you'd do well to similarly deprecate unprefixed strings.

This would all be pretty confusing to explain if you were renaming the string types at the same time, as Python 3 did. I think that's an indication that you shouldn't rename the types. You could deprecate `str` and just use the names `bytes` and `unicode`, which go nicely with the `b''` and `u''` mnemonics anyway.

Python 3 also changed the type of string used for Python identifiers. You'd need a strategy there as well.

It might be convenient to have some type-checking `dict` variants in the stdlib, but I think it's a separate issue from addressing the coercion issue.

Yes, absolutely. I'd add that this area loves its urban growth boundaries, so the only way to add lots of housing is to build up. This makes the carve-out in SB-50 for counties with a population under 600,000 problematic, in my view.

Yeah, they are blocking a transit corridor. On a floodplain. It's not good.

And I agree --- the county response has not impressed. In that sense it's actually great that the encampment is in such a prominent location. The county can't keep playing their inhumane game of whack-a-mole. They have to actually do something.

The SMART financing situation is certainly a mess, but I don't think that it's reasonable to expect revenue neutrality from a public transit agency. I think it's reasonable for it to see a public subsidy proportionate with automobile infrastructure. However, I am personally very frustrated about the gaps in the bike path.

I'm mostly inclined to blame the situation on the ridiculous way we fund transit development in this country. Everything is funded from a mix of sources --- local, state, and federal --- and the federal funds are often "matching" funds. So SMART has to carefully break projects into bits to match the available funds and grant criteria. It's ridiculously inefficient. But of course, this complaint isn't really actionable given the political gridlock at the national level.

Thank you for being an informed and thoughtful presence in this thread!

Here's some background on homelessness: https://calmatters.org/explainers/californias-homelessness-c...

I don't expect that you intended it this way, but be aware that the way you've phrased the question is likely to offend --- homelessness is complex and most homeless folks aren't criminals.

OP didn't say that the wildfires were caused by the homeless. There have been three small fires at an encampment between Santa Rosa and Sebastopol in the last few months: https://www.pressdemocrat.com/news/10578855-181/fire-crew-re...

Weird is certainly the word for it. The SF real estate catastrophe is pushing up prices here, particularly the south end of the county, while (in the small tech scene at least) salaries haven't adjusted. I've lived here since 2011 but I don't think I would start here today. But of course, anyone who bought a house 20 years ago is just fine since their costs are fixed. Renters and recent buyers pick up the tax bill. Thanks a lot, Howard Jarvis Taxpayers Association!

(Seriously, Prop 13 is awful policy.)

I.e., the Oracle approach.

Have you checked out https://www.habitat.sh/? It has a gossip-based discovery/coordination layer. I've been meaning to give it a try --- I too have Docker fatigue.

Additionally, Forwarded is only for requests, while Via is for both requests and responses.

I have a mid/high-end Bosch and find that the dishes end up much dryer if you crack the door when the cycle completes. This is particularly important for plastic stuff like tupperware. It doesn't have a heating element, so it's best to expose the dishes to non-humid air while they are still hot.

If you want to reduce the size more, try emitting a single layer as a tarball which you can pipe to docker load. That will reduce your layer count to one, plus you can omit a bunch of the metadata that Docker includes when you build from a Dockerfile (it doesn't seem to care at runtime).

Go ahead! There's a .zip file linked here: http://freecog.net/2005/jsamp/

This being 2005, the code is pretty much what you see there -- no minification or anything. The source archive contains the template files (this project was done as a skin for BrowseAmp, a plugin which added a web server to Winamp to allow remote control of it).

The interaction with the equalizer sliders isn't quite right. Once you grab any slider, you should be able to move the mouse horizontally to affect the rest (draw the curve you want with the mouse).

I learned JavaScript by implementing a similar project which gets this detail correct: http://freecog.net/2005/jsamp/demo/MainWindow.xhtml

(It is quite amusing to read the release notes: "SVG features (the equalizer display) requires Deer Park Alpha 1 or later (Deer Park is the codename for Firefox 1.1, to be released in September).")

We run ZooKeeper (and Kafka) within Docker containers and were able to solve this problem with a patch to the client: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ZOOKEEPER-2184

You also need to disable the JVM's insane DNS-caching behavior (config change only).

Rendering of reStructuredText disappeared in GitHub Enterprise ~6 months ago... I wonder if the reasoning was the same. More limited resources in the GHE VM environment?

The use of <(..) is really weird here... why not just pipe dns-sd to the while loop?

    dns-sd | while read -r line ; do
        ...
    done

Consider replacing the while loop with awk. This sort of thing is exactly what awk is good at:

    BEGIN { FS = " "; count = 0; }
    NR > 5 {
        count++
        print
        if ($3 != "3") { exit; }
    }
    END { printf("%d hosts found\n", count); }
