I have a 4-year-old Samsung S3 Mini. I keep wi-fi, bluetooth, data, GPS turned off by default, make few calls, don't send or receive many texts, and if I don't use wi-fi or play games the battery will last several days - probably 5-6 days when the battery was new and now a bit less.

However, I do usually turn wi-fi on for 10-20 minutes a day (e.g. look at HN and follow links to a few different news articles - news sites can be quite processor-intensive) and that knocks at least a day off the battery life. If I play a game, even fairly simple puzzle games, I need to charge it that day.

I'm also on my third battery for it as the previous two eventually got to the point where they couldn't hold a charge at all, so I'm very reluctant to upgrade it to a model without replaceable battery, but alas, that leaves few options. I'd also like a new phone to fit in my pocket like the S3 mini does, and as far as I've seen those two criteria knock out every recent-gen phone.

I can only hope that sooner or later a company decides people like me are a big enough market segment to reach out for again, but I suppose people who are happy to keep a phone for 4 years are not good enough customers and need to be forced to buy a new phone every year by the battery dying.

Largest subsidies by volume or per ride?

From what I've seen based on leaked financials, Lyft is outspending Uber by more than 2x in terms of subsidy dollars per ride [0]. Subsidies do not scale, and Uber is subsidizing less per ride than its competitors so it's surprising to me that it receives the bulk of the criticism when it's actually far the most thrifty of the ridesharing companies. If anyone should be criticized for buying their growth, it should be Lyft, not Uber.

Show HN: How to Have a GitHub Oauth Authentication for SPA Without Server
I'm likely missing some nuance here - the QEWD setup described sounds exactly like the model used to load-balance across multiple single-threaded application servers in most environments that aren't Node: lightweight, highly-concurrent front-end server dispatches requests to a pool of single-threaded application servers. This architecture was well-known back when Node was created, so I assume they chose a different architecture for a good reason.

Is there a prefork-friendly GC for Javascript? I know this was a major issue with the many-single-threaded-app-servers approach in the Ruby ecosystem; previous versions of the GC algorithm kept GC metadata in the same pages as data, preventing the CoW memory sharing that prefork servers ideally prefer.
I'm talking about the thinking that led to this, not the mechanism by which it works.

Why would you send a low resolution copy of the image first? Probably because you assume someone is on a low-bandwidth connection.

Keeping a battery pack charged is useful when you forget charging it, but it really shouldn't be something that you are required to use on a regular basis just to make it last throughout the day.

It makes little sense to make a phone as thin as possible and then expecting you to carry an additional cable and battery pack, it's just bad design IMHO.

You can have this problem with any smartphone. Usually it's some app that's pegged a CPU, or (worse) the data connection. Don't know about Android, but on iOS you can pretty quickly identify an app that's gone nuts (the last time "60% at 10AM" happened to me, it was Apple's cloud sync), and there are readily available tools if you want to dig deeper.

A few years ago the same thing happened on a Windows phone (a fine phone, oaky? :-) ). Some system process, maybe a driver, was pegging the CPU, making the device hot to touch. With no system updates on the horizon, all AT&T could do was say "We can replace the phone with exact model under warranty."

"But the new phone will have exactly the same software, and that same bug."

"That's all we can do." I'm pretty sure the salestype was foggy on the concept, and frankly I'm not sure what I expected a salestype to say. When you're powerless you're not necessarily rational, on either side of the fence. I wound up with a discount on another brand of phone, the market in action, I guess.
An alternative way to generate the final JSON from the input parts would be to use Jsonnet. http://jsonnet.org/. The benefits include support for using on the command line or from multiple programming languages (although, I guess not pure JS) as well as supporting more diverse generator functions than just the Cartesian product.

The `is()` function, or other system info, could be injected via Jsonnet's external variable feature.

From what I've seen inside Amazon, upper management was not particularly good at reining in the bad apples, so a bad VP, director or manager could cause a lot of damage to those beneath them.

I was lucky enough to work in a really great environment with a management chain who cared deeply about the people under them, but I worked with unpleasant and bullying managers from other divisions, and chatted to people who'd fallen out of favour and had their manager absolutely grind them down until they left.

But, overall, I'm not foolish enough to believe that this is particularly unique to Amazon, and I've heard far worse stories from pretty much every other sector of employment.

In my experience soft shell is neither very breathable nor very water resistant. It's both, but as with GoreTex it's a compromise.

Technology might have improved since I bought my last soft shell pant, though.

If you are using a slab allocator like in this case, you are effectively splitting the middle. Allocation of the nodes is contiguous in the slab, so locality of the nodes overall is likely better than malloc()ing each one. Allocation is cheap since you are likely just grabbing the head of a free list in the slab (or incrementing a counter if you never intend to free intermediate data), and you get less heap fragmentation/ higher utilization than a pure linked list. You still get fast insertion and removal anywhere in the list. There's a bit of storage overhead for pointers and pointer jumping on access, but ideally your list isn't super fragmented, so close to linear cache reads. If the list is long lived / has certain turnover patterns, some of these effects fall away. You could implement your own defrag/resort, but that assumes being able to relocate the data.

Also in some cases the linked list header may be embedded in other structures, so you'd have to pull the header out to go with a purely vector-based approach for when you need to shift (assuming you can't move the entire structure). And if the structure needs to reference itself in the list for quick removal, that's a problem if its index is changing. Otherwise you could just search the vector for references at linear cost.
If you only use the phone for calls and SMS, why do you have a smartphone? A simpler phone will make your battery last much longer
> Why would one ever prefer a linked list over a dynamic array?

Consistent performance. Every insert and every delete requires the same amount of time, at the cost of a higher average traversal time. You can ameliorate some of the deletion reordering cost if you can change the order of the array, but not all use-cases allow for this.

Also, intrusively linked lists (that is, the same item represented in multiple lists) are just as poor, performance wise, when implemented with arrays.

I did a quick test of this at one point, comparing C++ std::list with a linked list; the performance of the dynamic array was significantly higher for most operations (about one order of magnitude for my test), but the worst-case was much, much worse than the linked list (somewhere close to two orders of magnitude).

Moto Z Play. Multiple reviews confirm the (relatively) extraordinary battery life.

I got a Samsung Galaxy S7 last Thanksgiving because of a Black Friday promotion, but I wish I had ignored it and just gotten the Play anyway (for the battery life).
For the last few years I have been a big fan of the Motorola smartphones. I just bought a Moto G5 Plus. Basically has everything you wish for, but the removable battery.

It is nearly stock Android and has a good mix of specs. I have everything on (Wifi, Bluetooth (running a MiBand 2), GPS. I have a moderate usage and plug in the phone in the evening between 50 and 70%. There is Zero Bloatware on the thing. The fingerprint reader actions are just great. I have a work iPhone and caught myself using the same gestures on the iPhone, I even think they are better than the iPhone ones.

Before that I had a Moto G (1st Gen) and even that did last me a whole day without a problem. I just replaced it because my mother broke her phone, so she got the Moto G and I had a reason to buy the beauty Moto G 5 Plus.

I would recommend going for the plus, due to better specs. Runs smoothly and I have currently no point to complain.

Sure, more users and more languages will definitely mean more expenses. The BBC World Service's origins are visible in its original name as the Empire Service.

Fair! Just wanted to point out they already "standardize" within reason, i.e. function abstraction per datatype and the relevant documentation.

These types of problems (getting ownership wrong) might be common, but whether they can be solved using a mechanism like Rust's remains to be shown. I doubt it, but I'm not intimate with Rust.

(Personally most Rust programs I've seen so far are off-putting at a syntactical and sometimes architectural level - the latter is of course not entirely the language's fault. Kernels will probably not be one of the first areas of Rust adoption).

I normally come home from a day of work with my battery in the 60-70% range. I take it off the charger at 6:30am and arrive home by 5:30pm, so 11 hours.

If I'm busy and working, and not playing around on my phone, I might have 80% off. I have a couple phone calls and am using my phone a lot for email in meetings, etc, I might be down to 40%.

The other big factor is where I sit in the building. If I'm in another part of the building with worse reception, I'll be 20% lower than usual.
