The solution that, in my opinion, works better for society is not surrounding yourself in a nice cushy filterbubble where your views are never challenged, but instead becoming more tolerant of contrarian opinions.
Despite the repeated use of the word 'emergency' this is not quite obvious. For example in

> many people just see it as a kind of “slow extra memory” for use in emergencies

the scare quotes are around 'slow extra memory' not 'emergencies'. Now granted in the last bullet point of the conclusion it affirms that VM is a source of slow memory, but earlier it uses 'memory' where it's referring specifically to RAM, for example

> Without swap: Anonymous pages are locked into memory as they have nowhere to go.

Really the main reason my original comment was rubbsih is that I took the article far too much as a general discussion of swap when, as it said, it's largely about how much swap to enable on a given Linux system running some already-determined software.
For #1, I have a dishwasher which is like a dish rack, cleaner, dryer all in one! Just don't put your dishes away after cleaning and you're done.

For #2, you can hire people to do it, probably cheaper, more reliable, more flexible and better than robots will be in forever. This'll also create or maintain jobs, and save you said hours a week (which you can use to work and make money to pay for the cleaner).

IMO some things don't need to be automated, and humanity can go back to being more social and giving work to other people instead of trying to automate it to avoid human contact.
This can't be intentional, right?

Airbnb usually doesn't show the exact address to the customer before you've rented it, or at least it doesn't make it easy to find. I've always assumed this was to make it a little harder for landlords, neighbours or regulators to see that a property was being listed without their permission.

If you're visiting an unfamiliar city and the place has good reviews, I don't see anything sketchy about only being able to narrow down the location to within a few hundred metres.
On a page crammed full of images its alright, they're going to be slowing down the loading of everything.

If it were a plain text document and it was only JS loading and parsing that slowed it down then it would indeed be embarrassing.

My response is to the person asserting that JS is the reason this page is slow. I'm not making a statement that this is the greatest and fastest loading page on earth.
Technology isn't even the biggest issue - even if you had fast zero fee transactions you still have the problem of inherent volatility and deflation. Volume doesn't help with volatility here, at least not in the current designs that have fixed money supply - the incentive to hold becomes even larger the more use a coin sees - you make a contract for x coins in 10 months that's worth 10x - that just makes everything too complicated.

If someone figured out a way to peg the value of crypto to some other big currency that would have potential - but then the speculators wouldn't be making 10x.
Well, computing has lots to thank to UK, Germany, Finland, France, Switzerland, Norway, Sweden and Denmark.

I suspect the real argument anti-welfare people want to make, but are too cowardly to state explicitely, is: "if the poor weren't forced to accept shitty jobs to survive, we would have to pay them fair wages and/or improve working conditions, which would reduce the wealth going into our pockets."
This only shift the responsibility. Now those with the authority to provide a good reputation decide who gets to sell their goods. For example you would probably have a problem with dangerous electronics in a decentralized market. Only experts can tell you whether the USB charger you're looking at is safe, so whoever moves first to become the defacto authority for electronics safety in that marketplace effectively controls who can sell.

Not that I think that this is a bad thing. As a consumer I want somebody else to take care that the things that I can buy don't kill me and I wouldn't trust some random commenters on the Internet for that kind of information.
I think you could even generalize: the unquestioned beliefs brought about in childhood are hard to dislodge and seldom open to logic.

Personally I think we need to be highly wary of any group that focuses on planting its ideology in people as early as possible because of this phenomenon. Most legitimate philosophy and ideology has no problem convincing adults of its content, and no need to prey on the illogical minds of children.

I think you unilaterally decided that these situations are rare. I wholeheartedly disagree with that sentiment. This is why we are having this debate.

> A dropout's work is just as good, yes, in all but a few corner cases.

You'd have to be seriously screwed up in the head to actually believe that as a fact. What possible line of reasoning can you be using to say that someone who is formally trained and educated in a discipline is worst or equal to someone who is not? Are you saying that formal education is a total waste of time?

Yes there are exceptions and there have been prodigious people who were ahead of their time but that is why we have a word to describe these extremely rare occurrences.

This is a paper from two years ago but it shows that progress is still being made in this field. http://science.sciencemag.org/content/352/6290/1210
Indeed, my Ubiquiti Unifi AP and Edge router have also been handling the mass influx of Chromecast and Google Home devices in my house - there's one of each in almost every room in addition to the slew SmartTVs of Android devices sitting around the house -- prob at least 5 pairs of Chromecast & Google Home devices (10 total) and prob at least 30 devices in total connected to that AP full time. Over Christmas when the entire family was here there was prob double that (60 total), including all the new devices received as gifts that were connecting to the AP for the first time all at once as people were playing with and configuring the new devices they got. The Ubiquiti wifi AP and router handled it without a blink.

HOWEVER, over the last few weeks I suddenly started experiencing continual wifi drops on my Fedora 26 and 27 desktop workstation. At first I thought it was related to an overflow of devices and/or a noisy channel, but it turned out not to be the case. None of the Chromebooks or other devices were experiencing frequent wifi drops so then I thought it might be related to my workstation wifi card antenna flaking out and causing the signal to weaken and drop. It turned out the issue was also not due to a failing wifi card. It took me at least a week to isolate and resolve the issue, but it's fixed now -- no more wifi drops and the signal is strong -- turns out it was a software issue with the more or less default Fedora 26 and 27 wifi config that I had been running for years. The issue might have been exacerbated by the increased Chromecast and Google Home devices on the network, but the issue wasn't because the devices were overloading the router or AP like I (and I presume others) initially thought.

When I have time, I'll go back through my logs and command history, and distill the resolution procedure into a gist.

Show HN: Create React Native Apps with TypeScript and Ignite
Google does not seem interested in making the NDK anything more than implementing Java native methods, 3D graphics, audio or porting code from other platforms.

Everything else should be done at Java level.

I understand from the point of view of security, but what is safer, provide bindings to libraries already validated and installed on the device or forcing devs to package something else?

Also even though they implement native APIs in nice C++ with RAII and stuff, it gets exposed as unsafe C APIs, so the security story isn't 100% correct.
I am happy with Emacs / GitHub which are both free and very effective.

Having said that, I have paid for writing/note taking tools in the past. I bought Ulysses which is a Markdown note taking/writing app. It's available for Mac and iOS. That was a one-off payment of around $30 for the Mac app. I loved it, used it for years, but moved away when they introduced a subscription model. I do still occasionally use my paid for app though.

With regards your $5/$10 a month - personally I would not pay it. I know that because I was paying around $7 a month for a private GitHub repo and that cost annoyed me. It doesn't sound a lot, but over years it does add up.

So, I guess, are the new features you are going to build into your app worth 5/10 bucks a month?

> have a hard time understanding why some of us older guys really dislike Microsoft

There's lots of recent reasons to really hate Microsoft now.

- Forcing Windows 10 on users.

- Forcing telemetry on people and making it almost impossible to disable.

- Saying they <3 Linux, but refusing to port their actual good products (MSO, or Visual Studio) to Linux. So that they can keep their vendor lock-in.

- Not adhering to their own standards, to make it difficult for Office documents to inter-operate with other office suites.

- Windows 10 switched to a rolling release model, which is nice. But the updates are forced, so that fucks you over as a user, because you can never be sure if your system is stable.

Ask HN: Mailinglists for open source projects
Hi there,

There are many free services available for many facets of open source projects' workflows, but what's the situation for mailing lists? Is Google Groups the only option? Any recommendations for other providers that your project is successfully using for email collaboration? Or has Slack replaced mailing lists?
For me there, the issue is trust (and that's not intended as a slight against the people who do that kind of work -- I have family members who used to do precisely that). I just would not feel comfortable having people doing work in my home whilst I wasn't there.

> 1) Wash my dishes, dry them and put them away completely automatically.

I had a thought about this some time ago. What if every cupboard was a dishwasher? You just put dirty dishes away in the "cupboard", and then they get washed once the machine detects that there are too many dirty ones, and it can blow air through the cupboard to dry them off once it's done, and then you just open a cupboard and take out some clean dishes, whenever you want some.

It would even be fine if you had to manually tell the cupboard when to wash its contents.

You'd probably have to have about twice as many glasses, plates, bowls, etc. as you really need, so that you don't end up having all of the plates stuck inside one cupboard while wet. You always want to have everything you need available, clean, and dry. I don't think needing extra dishes would be a dominating cost, though.

You'd just have to run plumbing and electricity to all of your cupboard locations, buy enough tiny dishwashers, and then mount them on the wall. Probably could be done for only a few thousand pounds.

I strongly disagree with the attribution of drunk driving reductions to the culture. The culture is a byproduct of how significant the punishment has become, which is what really led to the reduction.

Back in the 70s getting pulled over drunk was punished like running a red light (i.e. a nominal fine). The punishments were ratcheted up to now where a DUI results in a 10k fine in some states and an immediate license suspension. With life altering punishments for getting caught, drunk driving reduced significantly and the culture of determining a DD emerged so people could continue to get hammered.

Even more reasons to want an external party to be able to step in in such cases. I.e. censorship as a feature.

I have a "Eufy robovac" I bought off Amazon and it works pretty great if you can accept a bunch of limitations.

It has no app and setting up any sort of non-trivial schedule using the simple remote that comes with it is very hard.

It never manages to find its way back to the charging station, so you have to find it and carry it back yourself each time.

It has no 'memory' so it has to learn the space it's in each time you start it and it doesn't know what it has and hasn't cleaned.

Beyond that it just works. I don't bother with scheduling. I just turn it on when I'm on my way out the door every other day or so and just let it get to work.

Cheers, TYVM for mentioning this. I bought this DVD [1] and will bring this subject up in my local autism group (I got a diagnosis as well). There are many more reasons for us to get her checked for the spectrum (me getting diagnosis was an eye opener for sure). I suspect this proposed disability (it isn't part of DSM or even ICD) might be linked to autism. At the very least, there's more sound related issues such as light sleep, exceptional hearing, and sensitivity to emotion in sound. Part of autism is under- and oversensitivity.

I've been fighting with this literally since Windows 10 came out. My desktop PC wakes up every night, around midnight/1am, and will not go back to sleep. I've disabled everything single wake event in windows, there is no wake-on-lan(as a matter of fact it does it with lan unplugged and ethernet disabled). Looking in the power events just says the computer woke up due to "unknown source". It does not do it with Windows 7.
