> in some software jobs "emergencies" happen nearly every day

Perhaps in some cases we (managers? developers? customers?) ought to reconsider what constitutes an "emergency".

Or perhaps the software concerned is particularly poor.

Just rubber o-rings on regular switches (instead of low-profile switches) might be enough to reduce travel length, and as a bonus to make bottoming out soft and silent, like on rubber dome keyboards. At least on MX, not sure about dampening rings on Matias.

Also, to add "chickletness", there are XDA and G20 keycap profiles, which are, AFAIK, especially popular to put on "ergonomic" splitted boards.

And if people fight and sue each other that adds considerably to the GDP figures but decreases human happiness. Vague though it is I think approximately tallying happiness is quite a useful way to go. That way the forests are valued and the troll lawsuits not.
He's referring to the collective work of everyone who created a portfolio during the feature's 12-year existence.
Yes, but the author isn't the only user. There's millions of users in 12 years, their cumulative work is gone.
Yes. All sizes, even 11" air, had the same keyboard. The touch pad might have been bigger.
Damn. The SE is my fave too. BUT, I only owned a 4s prior. So my experience is rather limited. My GF has a 5c, and the SE is lighter than a 5c.

The 6 and later versions were too big, for bigger screen needs I have an iPad mini. Which also seems on a glide path to obsolescence.

If we were limited to one Apple mobile device per person by decree, then maybe the bigger iPhone would make sense.

Understanding that Apple wants to avoid hyper-customization a la IBM PS/2 AND wants to maintain an air of avant-garde, some decent products have to be sacrificed.

A poster made a comment about working with the SE's limitations when designing apps for the SE. Some apps (such as Amazon) looked very crowded on my SE. Another (Manhattan Metal Prices) looks great

Maybe the SE died because it forced unwanted simplicity on app devs.
Hi - I'm the creator of https://bravos.co, a replacement for Google Finance. (I didn't have anything to do with this article being posted.)

I actually left my job two months ago to work on this full-time... Google Finance used to be a "home page tab" for me and it was just killing me that I couldn't find a good alternative. Bravos.co features a clean interface for tracking public companies, cryptocurrencies, and even private companies. The platform pulls in news, social conversations, and key financial data, and has modern features like a "Dark Mode" and mobile site. APIs, native apps, notifications, and more are coming soon.

We have a 2 minute video walkthrough here: https://youtu.be/gpQpCK9Ydl0

We would love to get your thoughts - we want to build this based on community feedback.
> This article is aimed at religious people.

I didn't get that at all. I think the author was trying to explain that the concept of the Sabbath (ie take a day of rest) has important psychological and societal value, irrespective of its religious origins.
You're correct. Author added some stocks into their hypothetical portfolio and went back to check to see how it was doing.

I wonder if Google sent emails to uses notifying them that the service was going to be discontinued.

"shabbos elevators"

There was one of those at a hotel I stayed at by the Dead Sea, but in general their elevator situation was different than the ones I've seen in the US and Europe: I encountered multiple elevators in Israel where you selected a floor at a central panel outside the elevator, then the elevator itself would arrive and take you to the floor, rather than having the buttons on the inside. I wasn't able to figure out (nor can I find online) whether that design was related to not doing something on the sabbath.
I started writing in COBOL in 1976. I wrote a lot of code and even started teaching COBOL in the local community college. The language is pretty simple, although wordy. I think that COBOL code would be pretty obvious to a coder today. They might not be able to code in it, but they should be able to follow the flow. The advantage of COBOL was that it was closer to machine code. A statement in COBOL translates to one or a few instructions of machine language. COBOL was a sort of assembly language. This made it run fast and efficiently on the big iron IBM mainframes. Remember that a machine with a meg or less memory had to run hundreds of terminals serving users at the same time at a clock speed measured in in a few millions of CPS.
My last job before I retired was translating COBOL to Java. The COBOL code always ran faster than the Java classes that replaced them.

Why is it a bigger deal?

It could have been a bigger deal if Ukraine were a member of NATO, and the alliance had an obligation to respond. But as the things stand, why is it a big deal — for the US, the UK, Germany, France, etc.?

(Skripals poisoning, in contrast, would imply a special operation on the soil of a sovereign Western country, using the tabooed chemical weapons. A concrete, old-school, physical action, as opposed to the more abstract propaganda wars or some shady online activities.)
I really wish someone would have the balls to do something really ass-kicking, like make a PhoneOS that can run all your functions and still give you something special .. it seems to be within grasp in various and sundry vertical embedded markets, but nobody has the druthers to take on Apple.

So really, its not just the OS/distribution/custom-tweaked-environment/game-engine. Its also the hardware.

Like, how can I get the hardware I need to try this out, without going through hoops?

To me that's a bit more of an issue than a broiled and flailed distro-dejour re-incarnate...
I’d argue even further. The 2015 MacBook Pro was the best laptop ever. The keyboard, the screen, the power, the OS made it an amazing machine.

Nothing has come close since.
The car computer already takes care of that.

I have the Xperia XZ1 Compact and it's a good piece of hardware. Sony's put a bit of bloatware on it, but also Stamina Mode which I think is worth it vs Google's stock. Signal strength and speed have been good for me. I reboot it every few weeks.

But, using an OS made by an ads company is starting to get a bit creepy, so maybe it's time to switch.
That's my plan. No joke.
He'd have a point if they weren't making the best hardware, highest performing chips, the most ethical company regarding privacy and security, or the best operating system (that's the one mark on my list that I'll admit is subjective).

Unless your definition of "being cool" is wanting the best, I'll take that.
Why should exception tracking and logging be two separated things? They perform the same job, an exception tracking system is just another way to present log records.

The real problem is that people still associate logs with lines of text in a file, whereas most logging frameworks create full objects containing a ton of information[0]. Once you stop considering logs as text, exception tracking and logging really become the same thing.

Mostly through experimentation. I ended up with a set of notes that I liked and give enough variety when played semi-randomly, while still keeping with the happy/uplifting mood of the game.
Oh believe me - that's exactly what I'm doing :D Webmentions are very much made for HTTP - since they require an HTTP POST. A variation would have to be made for Dat.

(As an aside, I originally didn't like using Webmentions on a static site - I had planned on making a cron to periodically check for Webmentions and republish. But now I really appreciate that it goes hand-in-hand with moderating comments. I look over the incoming Webmentions, nuke any spam, and republish. No bad feelings about comments that sat in the queue for a day - they are still out on the web at their original URL.)
Unlike smoking, which all humans can survive without, society hasn't yet been configured in a way where we can survive and improve our lot without work.

So, even if your point -- that disconnecting one day a week is still 90% as bad as disconnecting all the time -- were to be true, it's also moot because that's not an option.

If your point is conditioned upon technology, rather than work, I would ask you to determine how to disentangle the two. It's not like working into the weekend is a new phenomenon (since, as we know, the concept of a weekend was only recently won).
There is a community around this in England: "Narrow Bandwith TV"(http://www.nbtv.wyenet.co.uk/)

Enthusiasts build working full size replicas.

A "build it yourself" kit ("Televisor") was available (basically a snap-together kit) which comes with a CD with "video" recorded as MP3, you hook up your phone (or computer) to the kit with an audio cable and you can actually see the ghostly moving images. Syncing is iffy but it does work.

JavaScript is also an impedance mismatch.
I really don't understand this... while yes, I might at some point be interested in reducing my bundle size, for 99% of developers out there, a difference in 300kb is just completely irrelevant.

I choose my JS libraries because they are actively maintained, have well designed APIs (easy to use), are common enough to where newly hired developers already know them, and just generally make my life easier. This doesn't address any of that.
What's funny to me is that so many people complain about large tech companies eating up every product category and preventing competition. But when they later kill these products, people complain all the same. Which is it?

Seems like an opportunity for someone else, if it was really being relied on that much.

I suspect it wasn't. The author of the article said he hadn't checked in six years. Six years! And he's complaining that Google threw his work away.

People want to have their cake and eat it, too.

Cortex family chips take compressed Thumb instructions and translate them into ARM. PentiumPro and up does roughly the same with x86 -> uOps. There is no telling what the internal instruction representation is on these parts and how CISCy it actually is. Though Intel have been using updated low power 486 cores as microcontrollers for the past few years it could just as readily be Atom.
They’ve been in embedded with Atom processors for a while. VIA/Centaur beat them to it with C3, etc.. Id have assumed Intel would be in a mobile eventually if they weren't already. Wonder why x86 is that surprising.

Also, early Nokia 9000 Communicator had x86 CPU. I think it was a 386. Mobile returning to x86 instead of going to x86.
There are still a few third parties selling them, and (non-factory) refurbs all over the place. Might want to grab one up now while there’s still stock.

You’re making the mistake of looking at total spending, not per capita or per economic growth.

It’s not surprising that cities spend more on infrastructure in total, but they spend a lot less on infrastructure per capita. Better still, they tend to have more economic activity per public dollar spent. The point is to be efficient with public dollars and generate the maximal economic activity per public dollar. In this way things like public transit blow rural and suburban roads out of the water.

Measuring traveling speed is silly. What matters is time spent to get to services, jobs, food, and similar. You measure this based on time and cost, not distance and speed.

Oh, and ultra dense cities can offer more choices for short distance travel. I can get my commute down to 12 minutes by bike or 8 by electric scooter. This reduces wear and tear on the roads a lot, and packs more people per lane mile of road, meaning that my economic activity costs the public less in terms of infrastructure cost. This doesn’t work in low density suburbs (at least not in America).

While I can’t speak to your country, I can say that the vast majority of public subsidies in the United States actually flow to suburbs and not inner cities. Without federal largesse, suburbs would stop being a middle class expectation and return to being an ultra wealthy luxury.
Nah, not even close. Minneapolis has a lot of cyclists who go year-round. Even on the coldest days when the snot is freezing in my nose I'll see a couple of people cycle past me as I commute. After snowfall the main bike paths are frequently cleared first, before any roads. We have multiple bike-only highways that make a lot of travel safer for cyclists.

We could use concrete barriers between bike lanes and traffic, that's for sure, but there are enough options that you can usually avoid having to be in traffic.

It's certainly not even close to the crazy quantity of cyclists we normally have, but it is by no means a non-starter or dead out. Fatbikes really make a difference.

Impact, Characteristics, and Detection of Wikipedia Hoaxes (2016)
I feel like observance of the Sabbath is actually one place where Christianity diverges[1] pretty clearly from many stricter Jewish traditions. Jesus pretty much straight up tells his disciples that Sabbath is for people to relax and that the weird laws around it were meaningless. But in general I'd say the author's sentiment is definitely on target. Guaranteed time off makes sense from many perspectives, morally and ethically. It's actually the one thing I kind of give credit to Chick-fil-a for. They'd make a killing if they opened on Sundays, but the owner genuinely believes he's morally obligated to give everyone Sunday off, so every single one closes on Sundays.

[1] quote below for reference:

At that time Jesus went through the grainfields on the Sabbath. His disciples were hungry and began to pick some heads of grain and eat them.
When the Pharisees saw this, they said to him, “Look! Your disciples are doing what is unlawful on the Sabbath.”
He answered, “Haven’t you read what David did when he and his companions were hungry?
He entered the house of God, and he and his companions ate the consecrated bread—which was not lawful for them to do, but only for the priests.
Or haven’t you read in the Law that the priests on Sabbath duty in the temple desecrate the Sabbath and yet are innocent? I tell you that something greater than the temple is here.
If you had known what these words mean, ‘I desire mercy, not sacrifice,’[a] you would not have condemned the innocent.
For the Son of Man is Lord of the Sabbath.” - Matthew 12

Yeah, I think they'll keep pushing until they reach max profit. If they go to high in price and profit falls, they have enough cash to ride a year, then they'll release a lower price version and spin it to be something about cost savings in production. Never, we got too expensive and had to back down.

I don't buy this at all (sidenote: interesting that you decided to use a throwaway for this comment?) - taking a vacation from distractions and a smartphone even for a week helps me for months afterwards because it allows me to realize that the pull isn't important - daily use builds up the idea, being able to not use it without consequences stops the FOMO.

Those can be unsafe, but trucks almost always keep to the right lane if they can't maintain the speed limit. And long grades will often have an extra lane on the right for slow vehicles. Either way, it allows safe passing on the left, as all interstates are at least two lanes wide.
> Frankly, I don't buy it. If we have a problem with detaching from technology, then, stopping all usage of it only one day a week is maybe 90% as unhealthy.

I think you're letting the perfect become the enemy of the good.

Also, very intentionally keeping a day per week free of technology may help cultivate the skills necessary to keep it under control for the other six days. It would certainly keep it from becoming an all-consuming habit by providing regular opportunities to re-evaluate.

I'm reminded of a story a landlord told me: he didn't typically offer his tenants yearly leases. Instead he'd provide a six-month lease that would allow them to continue month-to-month without any extra fees. Why did he do this? Because the ritual of regularly renewing a lease prompted his tenants to reflect on if they wanted to continue to live in his building at all, and many would leave for places that suited them better. Removing that ritual encouraged his tenants to coast and stagnate, so he had to do much less work less to keep is building full and the rent checks flowing.

There is nothing wrong with charging different prices for different countries. The problem is I'm living in Turkey most of the time and my bank is a Turkish bank but I have been charged in Polish Zloty all these time.

Fantastic work. I've been learning music theory off and on to help with my guitar. I was hoping for a whole lot of interactive applications like yours, but found most lacking for me, though I did find a few on the iPhone: FretTrainer for muscle memory stuff. I figure out what to learn next based on Musicopoulus. Both are fair, each with quarks.

I've bookmarked you in my, just created, music "Toby" folder. Speaking of which, here's one last app recommendation that's totally unrelated: if you don't already have an extension for bookmark management on your computer, consider "Toby." It's a decent one for chrome, I use it as I have way too many normal bookmarks and finding stuff via scrolling becomes painful. I'd be interested if anyone else is using a different bookmark extension for Chrome as well.

the article highlights very avoidable problems.

i have lived completely remotely for the last 2 years – hotels, different countries etc., have not spend over 60 days in a single location at a time.

i think it is amazing once you know how to do certain things well:
- have a very well-adapted set of routines.
- know how to maintain deep relationships everywhere
- appreciate different places for different things
- are busy

i use silicon valley for interactions with smart people and fundraising, russia for hiring and great social life, switzerland for deep work, asia for seeing very forward-thinking economic markets etc.

if you have good practices around arranging time with people in each location, mix in a bit of acid/MDMA/meditation – you can have it all – deep relationships, understanding of many markets/cultures, independence from annoying governments and their taxes, and the best of each location.

i would also argue there is a lot of value in training yourself to be independent of locations in the modern world – it feels like it increases your overall flexibility and ability to adapt. which is clearly worth a lot.
