Yes 100%. It is shocking how long it can take to bting up the share dialog and no indication of progress so you can end up clicking again and that click then gets passed to the share dialog when it finally comes up and starts sharing somewhere completely inappropriately.

Sometimes I leave it for several seconds, no share dialog, so press it again, but low and behold it was just taking a really long time. Othertimes I wait and wait and wait and eventually conclude it isn't coming up after all.

After years of training you get better at sharing, very firm clear tap on share and then wait 10 seconds. But then someone else uses my phone and I tell them to share it for me and it goes horribly wrong and they can't quite believe how bad it is, just as I get used to it.

Currently on a Samsung Galaxy S6 but I have had this issue on all Android phones.

The order thing is insane, I wondered if this was all just my phone, maybe a rogue app or bad firmware update, so relieving to hear this happens to others.
To be clear, the "magic list" thing is focused on non-engineers, who likely will never need to read or write the term "rainbow table" as part of their job, they just need to be convinced that it's important to use a password manager. The presentation also mentions the technical terminology but switches to less intimidating terminology afterward.

The presentation for engineers uses "hash", "rainbow table", etc without ever using the less intimidating terminology: https://sudo.pagerduty.com/for_engineers/
I think PyQt is owned by a different company, so Nothing happened to it, I guess.

PySide is waaaay more Pythonic than PyQt ever was. Types are actually translated to Python native types and APIs are way more Pythonic and not just translated 1:1 like PyQt.
I actually suspect that `known` solves an existing problem of C++, in which you can't be sure whether a name is that of an argument, a local variable or a field.

Problem solved (at least partially) in other languages by requesting the `this` or `self` to be explicitly mentioned.
Not only have I shared to the wrong app on multiple occasions, the direct sharing is useless. I mostly use one app for IMs, but the direct share is always populated by another app.

But this is also not only Google's issue. If you direct share to a contact in Messenger, instead of just sharing whatever you wanted to, Messenger opens the share interface where you can select other people to share to. This is even though you wanted to share to just one.

(I don't think anyone in my income tax bracket is giving up uber when drinking. I'm mostly talking about uber-as-commute rides, which is a minority of uber riders, but is over-represented in number of rides, just 'cause most of us go to work a lot more often than we go out drinking. The uber as drunk taxi business is pretty safe. The uber as commuting tool business is rather more vulnerable.)

>So you’d pay $26 per cocktail and $68 for a pork chop, but $15 is too expensive for an Uber. I find that hard to believe.

I take uber to work every day. My boss is paying for a parking spot at work, my apartment is paying for a parking spot at home, so uber is competing with me, you know, buying a honda. Most of the infrastructure; most of the expensive part of owning a cheap car already exists and is being paid for regardless of my car ownership status.

Right now, Uber to work is usually unshared, as I'm usually in a hurry, and thats usually more than $10, less than $15. (the ride home is usually under $5, as it's the shared service.) - When I need to haul things, I rent a car or use a service. right now I'm already paying a reasonably high premium to sit in the back and read vs. owning and driving that honda. Would I pay twice that for an everyday commute? probably not.

I work at a place that prepares free (and really quite good) food for me three times a day, so I mostly only eat out on the weekends; I eat out a lot less than I use uber. A lot less, as sometimes I even cook for myself on the weekends (It's... kind of novel, after getting fed all week.)

Of course, even at 3x the price, I'd still use uber when I go drinking... it's just that I don't do that very often compared to how often I use uber to get to where I need to go every day.

(as another aside, I seem to have a higher threshold for cocktail prices than most people and a lower threshold for food prices than most people, I mean, compared with others with similar 'entertainment budget' - I think this is partly an awareness on my part of how expensive alcohol is in performance degradation... but also just personal preference. I really enjoy a good cocktail, and feel that there's a pretty big difference in enjoyment between a really good cocktail and a meh cocktail.)

>Even if true, you are not representative of SF consumers.

I... don't think my situation is that unusual for silicon valley customers. Most homes and most jobs come with free parking, (making the 'tipping point' for using uber much closer than in areas without abundant parking) and a smaller (but still large) number of jobs come with free food. (meaning we eat out less, and therefore can spend more when we do... also, I think, that we demand better food when we eat out. eating at IHOP is super disappointing after getting fed much better food every day as a simple reward for showing up to work before 10:30)
When I was younger I lived in Brussels for 3 years, it gave me both different language exposure (French/Flemish vs English) and different cultural exposure. But more recently I spent 6 months living in Denver which, although it was still US based, helped remind me of things which living in the Bay Area does differently, from driving to politics to governance to industry.
Sounds a lot like most languages designed during the last 20 years (or 50 years if you include academia), actually :)

And H1Z1 was a "rip-off" of DayZ. And DayZ is what made battle royal popular (I won't go as far as to say invented it, as I'm sure BR must have existed in other games before it).
It's hard to understand why DayZ did not cease this market opportunity, but I guess they are too buzzy actually making a good simulator. Yes, simulator, DayZ is not a game, it's a zombie Apocalypse simulator. And that's what makes DayZ so unique. I can't wait until DayZ gets their first release (it has been in alpha for several years, and will soon hit beta) and it will have game-play like the walking dead tv series, with zombie hordes, state of the art gun fighting, weather, hiking, zombie - simulation, with decent graphics and gameplay. The early days of DayZ (Arma 2 mod) was the best game experience I've ever had in my life, and I've been a pretty hard core gamer.

I've always found Qt and Python (PyQt and PySide) to be a weird match. So many times did I end up with cryptic segfaults in the python VM due to some python object being collected "too early", creating a dangling pointer in the C++ world. This can happen if you forget to set the parent object, for instance.

I know that those are things you have to worry about when you write C++, but when in the python world, you kind of expect everything to be refcounted for you. If I ever have to write a GUI app in python again, I'll probably chose another framework.
Yeah, sorry, I assumed log/journal plus reapply-on-recovery went without saying. You can't have guaranteed durability (short of blockchain-style distributed stores) because it's always possible for your database server to suffer a unrecoverable hardware failure between transmitting "transaction success" and taping out its weekly backup. If all else success, your datacenter catching fire and burning down would suffice. So it's only ever a matter of reducing (not eliminating) the probability of having to roll back commited transactions. (Tldr: fsync can't help if your hard drive melted.)
Exactly. There are Slack channels that I share to almost every day that never show up at all. I don't know what they're doing, but it's an obvious failure.

"This is why people don't trust institutions."

Too bad there's no HN gold. :)

While its possible there is something to it, even if there is it irritates me to see so many people harp on Cambridge Analytica and Russia and such for why Trump won. Trump won because he was the only one who really ran on the collapse of the interior as an issue. I am not convinced Russian trolls or CA had much to do with it. At the very least I think without the rust belt he would have lost badly.

I'm not complaining about the headline, I'm saying that people read far too far into them. The paper itself says that there is no causal link here, that the fact these people have decreased VitD is actually possible due to their [psychotic] behaviour, though without investigation, because that's not the aim of this paper. What I meant is that people who are so paranoid they can't get out of bed probably don't see much sunlight. Before admission. Exactly what the paper said, what you've repeated. I'm not sure what you don't understand here.

And yet the second-highest comment was talking about adding this to a guide about "hacking" mental health. HN has a hair trigger for digesting the fringes of scientific discovery and spinning it into quackery-fuelled hope for other sufferers.

I'm euphoric that this worked for you, once, but please don't use it as an argument that every comment on HN that advocates a supplement should be treated as anything more than the anecdote it is.
Can't you use a designer GUI to develop the static GUIs?
You will have to understand how layouts actually work and how the designer translates your design into code/widgets/layouts. Then in Python you write your logic and event handlers.

Qt also offers QML, if you are a fan of how those components look you may enjoy using it.

I wrote about this three years ago - https://shkspr.mobi/blog/2015/08/sharing-on-android-is-broke... - using mostly the same examples.

Google employees are mostly interested in building new stuff, not fixing broken old stuff.

There's also no central design authority for Google's Android. Each team implements the same thing in multiple different way.

Which is a shame, because there are plenty of people who would happily fix the bugs in the open source version of Android - but Google doesn't accept patches.
Add government red tape on top of this and it can take a week or more to get a COTS part ordered from a vendor that sells all of their stuff online. Heaven help you if the vendor isn't in the approved vendor list, that's another week to get all the compliance paperwork to them and get signed. It's agonizing when you need something quick but still need to go through all the hoops because the item is technically government property.
I'm not keen on reading a book that's in any way affiliated with Deepak Chopra. He represents one of the most intellectually bankrupt and destructive forces on the planet. Is he just mentioned offhand or is he given real focus?

I find it baffling that a physicist who is respectable enough to write a book with Stephen Hawking would be able to stomach writing a book with a man who claims that quantum mechanics proves that meditation can affect one's "quantum-mechanical body" and prevent aging.

EDIT: It seems I've misunderstood the book he wrote with Chopra. It's structured as a debate. I still that giving Chopra anything less than open hostility is a mistake, but it seems Mlodinow is not some new-age woo peddler.

This. I'm pretty fed up with this narrative. It's always either Russians or Chinese.

Apart from (quite obviously) USA there is a handful of other powerful actors (ie. Israel, UK) in the game but you rarely get to read about it.

Uninstall Slack and Messenger. You will instantly notice the difference, the lag almost disappears.

This makes it seem like it is an amateur design issue, where callbacks are perhaps being called much more often than they are needed. How often does your 'most contacted' list need to change anyway?
The issue being sqlite did not even remotely meet the criteria:

- it requires operating system,

- its memory footprint even in best case way larger than total memory available on the system,

- can't work in constant amount of memory (no dynamic allocations after application startup, compile-time verifiable stack usage)

- can't provably continue from any power cycle -- there is no guaranteed automated recovery method in case of unfortunate power cycle

- data storage overhead was unacceptable for the application
> Obviously, as the author notes, it didn't really pan out that way. Some cultural exports of Japan are without much doubt very popular and there are commonalities in culture, but every region and country still has its own way to deal with future changes, and in many cases very different demograhpics. There's no need to reduce it to any generic *-ification.

Very true. I think it’s undeniable that certain subcultures arose due to influence from Japanese cultural exports. But it’s a bit of a stretch to call it “Japanification”.
> introducing coprocesses in the shell

I did this with bash and Python a few years ago when I learned about the "coproc" feature (which, by the way, only supports a single coprocess per bash process, unless I misunderstood it).

But it turns out I tend to open new terminal windows a lot, which meant that the coprocess needs to relaunch all the time anyway, so it wasn't very useful. Even if I start it lazily, to avoid slowing down every shell startup, most of my Python invocations tend to be from a new shell, so there was no real benefit.

Maybe if you have a pool of worker processes that's not tied to any individual shell process, and connect to them with by a Unix-domain socket or something...
The economic and demographic points seem to lack perspective in some places and in others are downright conflicting.

Take the evidence cited about how NEETs make up 10% of young people. However, the report itself offers one explanation for the numbers. "More than two-thirds of NEETs, in particular young women, are not actively looking for work. The NEET gender gap is larger in Japan than in most other OECD countries as many women in their late 20s withdraw from the labour force to care for children." People leaving the workforce to pursue homemaking and childrearing shouldn't be a societal problem if it's done voluntarily.

On the other hand, in the US, unemployment among 16-19 y/o's is around 14% and among 20-24 y/o's is around 7%. These populations are actively seeking work and unable to obtain it (and not homemaking), meaning that the number of "American NEETs" is likely higher than these numbers. The author seems to suggest that the US is downstream from Japan and that the epidemic of NEET-ism will only get worse, but if the current numbers are any indication, America's NEET problem is far worse than Japan's.

But the differences in unemployment between the two countries seem to be something more systemic. The total unemployment rate in the US has been roughly double Japan's for the past decade. And of course, it is natural that younger populations are hit harder by scarcity of jobs because most of them have little work experience. The author seems to suggest that shifting cultural trends are causing younger people to increasingly choose a life of unemployment. But past generations have had this same class of youth, be it the beatniks of the 60s, hippies of the 70s, or "Jay and Silent Bob" suburbanites of the 80s and 90s. The primary shift is in how this class is presenting itself culturally. Many of these people are simply embracing a lifestyle of joblessness to feel content in the lack of opportunity being presented.

The author cites a lack of human labor as a source of Japan's societal woes, but this is a leading contributor to why the country has what the author calls an "envious" 2.5% unemployment rate. Importing labor en masse from the third world will inevitably limit opportunities for citizens, especially young adults who will be competing for entry level jobs. Furthermore, lower class wages decline, increasing income disparity. The data supports this, Japan has a significantly lower Gini-coefficient (37.9) than the US (47.0). Indeed, keeping migration into the country low is not a source of problems, but instead giving Japan the upper hand on important measures of economic well being.
Its really hard to understand. I mean the newspapers were full of outsourcing stories, and how China was the world's sweatshop. The factories are there, they produce stuff, they employ massive amounts of people, manufacturing things that used to be manufactured in the west.

I'm half Swiss half Finnish, working in Colombia for a bit over 3 years now.

The first year was a semi-sabbatical. I was traveling while on and off working as a freelancer for companies back home. Needless to say, you don't need many billable Swiss hours to have a good life in Colombia. So personally it was an incredible year. All the beautiful places, meeting tons of people, reading the books i didn't found time for before and most importantly not being tied to daily business matters.
But professionally I was stagnant for the most part. Because I wasn't willing to commit too much time nor other things clients expect like availability or short deadlines, I was mostly working on rather trivial generic web development tasks.
Code monkey work under palm trees.
Also I realized being a Freelancer is not for me. It basically means you are running a business with everything that entails: Communications, marketing, legal, accounting, project management, etc. Many of those I don't have particular interest in or patience for. The year aptly did what it meant to do. Taking a year off from 9-to-5 jobs while not having to spent savings. But career wise I was pretty bored by the end of it.

The last two years I have been working for a startup in Bogotá that is part of a company builder that creates businesses from scratch for the growing middle class in Latin America. While I don't have that many exciting adventurous stories about my personal life to tell at the moment, I do thoroughly enjoy living here and work wise I have never learnt as much in so little time since I started my career 10 years earlier. Exclusively communicate in foreign languages. Vastly different market and mindsets than my country. Having to re-assess things I though where "universal truths" just because I saw them over and over again in Switzerland or similar nations. Balancing tech budget for cloud services whose pricing is aimed at rich western countries. Dealing with much lower end mobile devices and low quality networks.

So the whole 3 years have been extremely valuable personally and professionally in terms of experience and knowledge gained. Money wise less so. But I'm young enough and don't have family to take care of, that this is not much of a worry for now.
I didn't, I was looking for a specific kind of work (Ethereum related) and it just so happened to be in Netherlands.
