I live in Knoxville, and we’re up to about 10 independent little coffee shops, with the bulk of them having opened in the last few years. Most of the owners don’t seem to mind people on their laptops, but then again, there is a university nearby so I’d say about 90% of people in the coffee shops are on their laptops focusing on school work. Most of my research in grad school was completed at these places.

That said, I normally don’t stay longer than 3 hours at any individual coffee shop, particularly if there’s a lack of seats for new customers. I also generally tip $2-3 — more if I buy a pastry. You can typically tell which places are amenable to laptops because they have an outlet at every seat.

I think remote work will only increase over time, and I’m sure there are other people like me who focus much better in a coffee shop with strangers and music than in an open office. I’d really like to open my own coffee shop one day with ample seating and a sign that says “laptops and conversation both welcome”.
Which country is that? Do you have a ballpark on the cost, in your case? Genuinely curious.
I find both your comments confusing.

In your first comment you said that screensavers were just normal windows and would crash back to an unlocked screen - that never happened. Here you're conflating KDE (started ~1997) needing logind (started in what 2010?) which it didn't. Even your comment about a 'session' makes no sense since at the X runlevel X itself is the 'session'.

In my opinion a lot of the problem has been a lack of clarity of what the actual user benefit will be, and the crazy borg-like scope expanion. I'm going to avoid commenting on the implementation of logind and brethren.

What is the TLS overhead? On x64 you presumably could spare two registers, one for the current heap pointer and one for the end of the heap. How could you implement this more efficiently with a single threaded version?

Not sure if LLVM has an equivalent of global register variables, though.
Much the same could be said about native Norway in comparison to the US or UK. There is a documentary about identical twins from China. One ends up in Norway the other in the US. They meet many years later. You see quite radically different child raising. Norwegians focus on independence and freedom for the child. The Americans focus on lots of grownup controlled activities.

My feeling is Norwegians focus on independence while Americans focus on ambition. Americans are more focused on their childrens enrichment and making them perform.

I notice e.g. from American relatives how much earlier they get school work, tests and academic work. Norwegian childhood is more play and social interaction oriented. We focus inteaching children self control.

When I came to the US I was surprised how out of controll American teenagers are. They don’t seem to function without lots of rules and regulations. They don’t seem used to regulating and controlling themselves.

I think this creates a society were nobody fully trust each other and compensate with lots of strict rules.

E.g. American police seem a lot more authoritarian than police in nordic countries.
To be honest "Junior Developer" doesn't make any sense. Its just a way of saying out loud hey this developer doesn't have too much experience and he's not that knowledgeable compared to other Senior developers. And honestly I have seen "junior developers" being way ahead of senior developers.
> In Canada, child services were called on a mother of three for letting her children play outside in their fenced backyard while watching from the window.

If I did not know any better, I would be tempted to read that as satire. Ensuring a child's safety is obviously one of the most important duties of a parent, but there is such a thing as common sense.

When I was a child (German, in case it matters, born in 1980), we were given a lot of freedom to go where we wanted (within reasonable limits, of course), as long as we followed a few simple rules. Mostly, don't go alone, tell the parents where you go and when you will be back. So there was always a certain degree of parental oversight/control, but it did not really feel that way. In hindsight, I think it was important that these rules were applied fairly. Breaking them usually meant we got grounded, but as long as we kept our part of the bargain, we enjoyed a lot of freedom. At least after we learned about safety in traffic, which both my parents and the elementary school spent a lot of time on.

Anticafes are more of an entertainment place, with many people meeting with friends, playing board games and other stuff like that. Many freelance workers I know prefer cafes and anticafes to co-working spaces exactly because of this laidback, unofficial atmosphere.
Apologies for the daft question, but what kind of "freedom" are Americans referring to when they say "freedom"? Here in Scotland there is a certain fondness for the term (e.g. in a certain movie but really from the rather splendid Declaration of Arbroath) - but I think most people appreciate that this is all in reference to a war 700 years ago that doesn't have much relevance to our current political situation.

Why is it impossible to find a small advanced calculator? I use an hp-35s now but I hate it. I want a calculator with rpn, programmability and an equation solver that is pocket sized. I understand rpn is niche, but relaxing that restriction still only finds you huge graphing calculators.

SwissMicros has a range of credit card sized calculators that are so close to what I want. However they are running hp firmware in emulation and I don't believe that any of the firmware they are using have an equation solver.

We have the technology now to make an advanced pocket sized calculator I'm sure. Why does no one want to release one? The calculator enthusiast community seems content with just emulating 30 year old calculators and everyone else is just selling calculators for people that need to take standardized tests.
Taxation philosophy aside, I really like the idea of traceable ads in general. There are so many intentionally tangled and obscured intermediate steps between the ad buyer and the ad viewer, a transparent record would benefit the honest parties and the consumer. Prosecuting, or at least deterring, malware served over sketchy ad networks comes immediately to mind.

From reading the article, this was not the of case working their way through the courts, which would indeed be very expensive, but via the Competition Commission, that would then be responsible for the costs of the investigation (if they were interested in investigating, which, according to the article, they were).

So I would think the biggest cost would be time and energy and that is enough to put the majority of people off. (One of the first things I heard from a lecturer as part of my law degree was: never, under any circumstances, go to court, unless you really, really have to, as it is not worth your time and energy.)

Delta Airlines: Gauging the Quality of Your Customer-Service Representatives
I'm not sure I understand your point. You're projecting a lot, there's more to the world of computers than Google and Apple.

At any rate you choose to buy into Apple ecosystem. A big email provider changing how email works is not the same thing. For the record I host my own email server and use mutt as my main email client. The only Apple device I own is an old pre-iphone iPod.

If Google changes the expectations of email users everywhere then it won't be long until you end up with a broken experience if you don't support AMP email out of the box. Exactly what happened with HTML email: it's not rare these days to receive a multipart/alternative email where the plain text version is simply "see HTML". If AMP mail becomes mainstream it'll be like this but worse. Soon you'll have an HTML page that will tell you to "see AMP content".

I don't know if it's completely on purpose but that's by the book "embrace, extend and extinguish" by Google there.
I agree.

It was probably the single best social thing I’ve ever used. It was unique as it was actually social. Both my teams at work and family/friends used it as a way to comment on news and share stuff of interest.

>I'll get down voted for saying this

Well don't mind if I do. (read the guidelines friend, this kind of crap is specifically frowned upon).

> Google isn't a charity and you aren't entitled to a Gmail of your choosing.

This is a pet peeve of mine. What does this mean? That you can't force to charge their ways? Yeah, maybe you can't. Doesn't mean you're not allowed to make criticism? If course not. The argument "they're a private company therefore they do what they please" is a facile but invalid way to shut down criticism.

>You can't complain about Google because Apple does other unrelated bad stuff.

Well and you can't complain about Apple because Monsanto does even worse stuff and I don't see you mentioning then. Classic whataboutism.

In other words, if you really wanted to do constructive criticism you would have (1) presented your arguments clearly instead of playing the victim in your very first sentence, and (2) you would have limited yourself to the facts of the matter and not to external stuff (which you only kinda did in your 4th point).
"you're allergic to Google offering free services that use your data for advertising, go pay for email"

Yes, email is such an important tool that it would make sense for all of us to pay for it. That said, the big internet companies trained millions of users to expect everything for free on the internet (intentionally or not). Many people seriously think "if it is on the internet, it should be free - I am paying for my internet connection, aren't I?". If you don't believe me, try talking to a non-HN, non-tech-savvy person about it.

The fault is on these companies as much as the users. It would take a big change in mindset to make non-advertising models work in consumer world

Parents not spending a lot of time with their children does not mean they are distant or emotionally unavailable.

I have always felt this hands-off approach does not mean my parents do not care or that it annoys them to spend time with me. If I had a problem or question, they were always there for me. But it felt like they respected my privacy and boundaries and trusted me enough not to get into trouble.

In my experience, the hands-off approach takes a back seat very quickly when you break the rules or get into trouble.

Almost every McDonald's I've been to in Europe and Canada has a set of Kiosks where you can order what you want (in English) and pay.

We've started working on some advanced language parsing out of subtitle dialogue, somewhat similar to what you're doing we're trying to make a link back to actors interacting (in our case via character names).

Agreed about potential for AI to inform better content decisions, or at the very least decent analytics would push things forward quite a bit. As far as your questions:

1. Data collection and mastering is like 80% of the work as you probably know, themoviedb.org is great and we use it too. Myapifilms.com, allmovie.com are solid sources. We also heavily leverage Wikipedia, google and waybackmachine.org.

2. Angular - personal comfort level + compatibility with the rest of our stack (certain charting libraries and themes we use). We're looking closely at React now and there's a good chance that the next generation of FLIQ moves in this direction.
Don't get me wrong - I pay for a VPN subscription too for when I'm travelling/public wifi, but it's much easier to quietly hand VPN providers a nice sum of money for them to just hand over the keys. Everyone leaves happy.

Based on that, I believe if you want an extra level of security for every day use, then go for a big VPN co. If you're doing highly sensitive style stuff, then there's probably better software and services out there. It's all about your threat model I suppose.

I live acreage on the outskirts of Brisbane. We see these snakes semi regularly. Its a fairly low risk. Something like 70/80% of bites happen when someone is trying to catch/kill the snake. Browns and Taipans are the ones I'm afraid of, the rest are unlikely to kill you.
