You can't add much more indirection than making someone credentialize in a manual to do something as trivial as showing timestamps. Better hope you catch that one-liner tip and then remember it when you're back in the app at some other point in time.

I'd rather every app just have a hamburger menu with a menagerie of settings so that those settings can exist even if they're too hard to design for. Instead designers write blog posts that shame everyone for making those menus in the first place.

Hidden gestures is the worst UX of all. For the same reason Siri will never replace a CLI -- completely probabilistic, unknown interface.
Yes, I have a noisy fan and if the browser makes it turn on it's distracting.
Actually, I appreciate the reply as a prompt to clarify what I mean. I really hope I am able to decouple Palantir from the metadata analytics that I'm talking about in my endorsement of the technology. Speaking in sweeping generalities, the only thing special about Palantir is the fact that it's entrenched, which is what gives it the opportunities other companies don't have. Ignoring for a minute its highly-specialized workforce (needing a TS clearance just to get into the parking lot) and focusing on the process and technology. I would even go so far as to say that I think most other companies in this space would do a better job than Palantir, just because entrenched companies get comfortable and lose their edge.

Why do you want SQLite for development? Running Postgres on your dev machines is a docker one-liner that you can put in the README.md for your devs to copy paste.

Most sane CI services also offer Postgres.

That xkcd comic recommends a password that by its own estimate is 44 bits of entropy. Why do you assume a HN user would choose something stronger than that?
Termux is, hands down, the best thing to happen to Android. It's still pretty problematic and incomplete as a productive shell tool.

Android will kill applications pretty indiscriminately, so your Termux session persistence isn't good.

Terminal performance is poor, especially on scrollback, for some reason.

I've bumped into numerous SSH issues.

My general preference would be for a hybrid tablet/laptop system, running Linux, rather than Android (or iOS). We may eventually get there.

The other thing tablet formats are good for is reading electronic document formats, with an 8" or better tablet size. Though a large eInk device might be better there (again, ideally with shell capabilities).
The right way to work with DOM in Angular and things to avoid
> But WireGuard seems to use a single key per network interface.

Every interface is associated with a public/private key pair, but each interface need not peer with a single client. That would be inefficient. Instead, each peer (including clients and the server) generates a personal key pair when they configure their local WireGuard (e.g. wg0) interface. Afterwards they set up a local configuration file consisting of peers and respective public keys.

Then in the context of a company VPN, one peer is a designated server, and every other (client) peer lists the server’s remote IP as the only peer interface in their local configuration. The server has the public key of every client as respective entries in its local config file, which is used to restrict access to whitelisted clients. Any client with the corresponding private key locally can connect to the server’s interface using their local interface.

To remove a client from the white list, you simply remove their peer entry from the local config file on the server, much like how you remove an SSH public key from authorized_keys. In fact, a decent mental model for WireGuard is tuennling over SSH, but faster, leaner and with no option for a shell or password login.

Exactly I too believe everything is being classified as Autism nowadays. Instead of focussing on improving the life for those who truly struggle.
I can think of many reasons why one would work for someone where the applicant's name is relevant. Some include: lack of choice (the fact that many people here can afford to reject jobs based on such things is a privilege that not everyone enjoys), and the possibility that the gatekeeper is the bad apple (unless you hold the belief that one bad apple spoils the whole bunch, which would rule out most companies that many people here want to work for).

It's important to see the world as it is. That doesn't mean that one should give up one's ideals on how the world should be; rather, it means that one should clear the cobwebs away from ones eyes so that one can endeavor to make changes where they have impact.

I think the orig beetle lived on in overseas plants --Brazil, for example. But with today's global manufacturing, I guess when they say they will kill this model, they mean it will disappear everywhere.

And, I suppose it must. It had mustered all the nostalgia it could, but in the end, the well ran dry and the model had become a dead end. For a revival model, it actually remained longer than most.

I found this interesting. I’m diagonsed with ADD and carry all of the tell tale signs. My mind is geared to constantly fill in—like I need to over predict and guess what someone is going to say. When I watch a movie I am constantly hunting for the plot twist even if there is not one. I also have a higher than normal error rate because my mind tends to come to a resolution on scant evidence and I need to slow myself down and often double or triple check. I’ve often felt that autism was on the other end of the spectrum. Everything needed to be explicit, complete, and literal.

I remember my kids playing Minecraft at 6, the exploring and the building like the article describes. But by 8 they had discovered the 'other side' of Minecraft, the servers that turn the world into a low-res version of a PvP game, and most of the 'building' went out the window.
My greatest times playing together with my young sons was had not in Minecraft, but in Age of Empires II (vastly preferred by all over I or III). Usually we'd play us against the AI, and they got pretty good at it so we'd sometimes play against each other as well. I think the RTS genre holds more potential for a common ground between parents and kids than either the 'virtual lego' or the FPS categories.

I'm curious whether pretix attempted using MariaDB/Galera with single-write mode, such that the three servers still run synchronous replication, but only one of them gets the writes.

I suspect (disclaimer: not running Galera myself) "WSREP has not yet prepared node for application use" and deadlocks would be mitigated, and am curious to learn if that were indeed the case.
To my overly long TODO-list I added a web browser project. I would like to see something akin to Links [0] or Lynx [1] with a bit of Dillo [2], but also for mobile.

Features & non-features:

- it would generally work like the reader mode (no other modes) trying to place navigation links in a predictable place

- user can easily select text size and color schemes

- night mode (Android does not have one)

- because of it's content focus it could offer great offline capabilities like full-text search through archive and version comparison

- probably ignore most or all CSS

- probably no JavaScript support

- ad blocker for the rest

Can such a thing use it's own rendering engine on iOS? As I said I don't care about JS.

I don't need every application to be the leanest that it can be. What I need is for every application stop assuming that 12 GB of free memory means that it's their 12 GB.

I understand the adage of free memory being wasted memory, but there's a context for that adage. E.g. if a user clicks off of a tab, the browser doesn't need to write that tab's contents to disk when 12 GB is free. A good trade off is to store the tab in memory, for X minutes. Write the tab (or more simply, the URL) to disk after those X minutes have elapsed.
I relate strongly to your comment, specifically about the need to over-predict and be wrong. With my ADHD, I think my lack of a verbal 'filter' also contributes to that error rate, where my brain has a tendency to express the first thought that pops in it, rather than the best one :/

Agreed, and having some experience with both MySQL and SQLite, running SQLite in testing cannot cover problems you'd find with MySQL (e.g. SQLite is so limited with concurrency that you cannot use it to confirm concurrency issues will be dealt with in your production MySQL). I would assume the same holds for SQLite<->PostgreSQL.
You cut off the "if I haven't touched the tab in an hour" part.

How many times does that pretty-narrow situation happen to you in a day?

If you had such a memory-saving mechanism, boosted by prefetching the tabs adjacent to my current tab, it would barely cost me any seconds in an average week. Running low on memory is a big hassle taking a lot of seconds to deal with.

To put a finer point on it, most people still believe that (monetarily sovereign) governments are constrained by their income and by the willingness of lenders to accommodate government debt. But that view is incorrect: the real constraint to government spending is only the economy's real capacity for production. Another way to think of it is that the real constraint to government spending is inflation (because excessive government spending beyond the economy's supply capacity would lead to increased demand-pull inflation).

Whatever the reason, the empirical observation in these days of low inflation seems to be that most governments aren't even close to the true limit of spending.
This reminds me of Nokia's demise. Before they were sold to Microsoft, everyone was saying how they'd all buy Nokias if they would just adopt Android. We all know how that went.

It's clear to everyone at the moment that a moderately priced electric beetle would sell like hotcakes. But just like Nokia made the wrong call, it looks like VW will do the same.

I do miss the Amazon design reviews; where we’d all ready the design in silence and then discuss. In the few jobs I’ve had since then, people are less engaged in reviews and often unprepared- asking basic questions to earn their participation badges.
Remaining challenges in tech industry: scaling and incentives (and incentives at scale :). I also see a major extrovert bias, which might seem a little funny for tech. But, again, product managers (or, God forbid, Sales people) are all really subject to the “let’s just get some people in a room” style of planning and problem resolution. I firmly believe some massive amount of productivity is squandered from people choosing the wrong communication paradigm — I think it’s often chosen for the convenience or advantage of someone who is either in an extrovert role or who is just following extrovert tendencies. Massive problem at Google, which is ironic given their composition. Amazon had some obvious nods to avoiding these sorts of things (e.g., “reading time”) but I don’t know how pervasive they were or how effective people believed them to be.

Oftentimes you will have even engineering managers (usually ones who can't engineer their way out of a paper bag) fall back onto this tactic.
That may not actually be a practical approach to the problem. Years (and jobs) ago, we rolled significant caching into Vegas (video editor), allowing the app to take up 8GB of RAM in cached frames, even on 32-bit builds. There was no way for the OS to do this sort of work for us. The best that the operating system would have been able to do would have been to cache file reads for us.

Caching the output of computation was incredibly valuable to our customers, and the caching that the OS would have done would have had little to no benefit to our customers.

The same could be said for Chrome. Maybe there is value to a globally coordinated OS caching manager, but the OS shouldn't have sole responsibility for caching. Such an approach is clearly suboptimal for the user in at least one use-case (see example above).
That interview is after his mental illness caught up with him. When he was a champion, he was so much better than everyone that it's silly to say he struggled with openings.

From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bobby_Fischer#Opening_theory

> "He employs a limited range of openings. Of course, this is not a sign of Fischer's limited creativity, since he compensates for this by a very profound and sound knowledge of the variations he favours [sic]." Plisetsky & Voronkov 2005, p. 270.

> Fischer was renowned for his opening preparation and made numerous contributions to chess opening theory

He promoted (not invented) Fischerrandom / Chess960 because he felt that memorizing ever-long opening sequences was boring and ruined the game, and that would be soon dominated by computers with their far-superior memory.
Dude, it's a robot. And the very fact that they were able to do this, regardless, is amazing.

I've just finished reading the paper. One difference is that Anna offers a weaker form of consistency than etcd. Etcd offers sequential consistency, and Anna offers casual consistency. I believe that this could eliminate many etcd use cases, since ordering for non-casual events many be different depending on the node you access.

I'm not sure I fully understand etcd's durability guarantees. When an operation is completed, does that mean that the data is durable on a single machine, and then becomes durable on other machines at a later point? If so, it seems like Anna could offer the same durability guarantees.

I think Anna's architecture could be more of a competitor to Cassandra, or DynamoDB as long as you only need casual consistency. The performance implications do seem pretty interesting.

Ask HN: Does anybody still use jQuery?
I know that frameworks such as React and Vue have taken over most of the mindshare, but I still find jQuery easier to use and often more productive, especially for smaller websites.

Even when using a framework I usually include jQuery to smooth out the edges where the framework does not behave as I would have expected, or seems to make implementing a part of the intended UX awkward or complicated.

Is anybody else still relying on jQuery in some capacity, and if so, what value do you get out of it? Do you use it along with one of the major frameworks, or together with smaller libraries? And do you plan on dropping it soon?
I follow the same line of thought as yours - that sensations could be just a hint and you utimately wheigh all your sensations and intentions; BUT just as machines don't have sensations and they can do just fine with planning, so too could animals. "Automatic" doesn't mean right now.

My point is sensations/emotions are an incredible information processing paradigm wich we are largely ignoring when we think of AI.

Also this is the first I've heard that iCloud keychain sync only syncs keychain items created from App Store applications, and color me quite skeptical on that. Apple previously restricted the iCloud file and Key-Value Store functionality to App Store apps, but for keychain syncing it's just a single flag given to the item when creating it. Also I just checked the documentation for kSecAttrSynchronizable and there's no mention whatsoever of it being restricted to App Store apps.
Try TidyTab, https://github.com/eggplanetio/tidytab. Added benefits are it's a lot lighter and you get to sync your bookmarks across your devices. I was a longtime OneTab user and I suggested several features to the developer to make it just about the same feature wise for anyone migrating.
That's not a rare story. AP exams are highly gameable by people with high general intelligence, strong memory, and a good high school education. Memorizing a textbook to the point of scoring well on a multiple-choice test and writing short formulaic essays is standard for a very bright high-school student, and is very different from solving a week-long or month-long problem.
I tried Minecraft for the first time in my life a few weeks ago. Together with my 5 year old son. He loved it, and I liked it too, but we really didn't get very far - the moment night fell, we got brutally slaughtered by zombies or whatever. Respawning only made things worse, because later nights seemed to bring stronger attackers.

I played some Quake back in the day, it's not like 3d games are totally new to me. Still, I felt completely incompetent. Does anyone know what someone should do to get past these first few days? I keep reading articles like these on the internet about how kids build fantastic structures, but how do you do that if half the game is basically about being hunted down by mindless killers?

I feel like there's some key aspect I don't understand. Any tips?
