I also still use my DT770s as my daily headphones when I'm at my computer. I wish I had bought the Pro version way back when, as I believe it has detachable cables, and also higher resistance... it's difficult to modulate the volume on my desktop, as even 4-6% can be loud enough in some circumstances and there's not a lot of room for fine control at that level. In any case, I have had mine around the same length of time as you.

However, I also really love my bluetooth headphones, and that's what I use when I'm not at my desk at home. They also work as wired headphones, but I acknowledge they are not affordable to most people. A charge lasts a really long time, and they have some nice features as well. I don't expect them to last 15 years, however.

I bought a specific pair of wired earbuds with a mic to use for conference calls using my phone (Android). Now that my phone is failing and I'm forced to upgrade, I'm a bit concerned that the USB-to-3.5mm dongle for the Pixel 3 may not be compatible w/ the mic in my earbuds. In pictures it looks like it has a proper tip-ring-sleeve configuration so it might work, but at this point I'm just crossing my fingers until I can test.

It's really sad and I think it's especially sad that the core problem - overpopulation - is pretty much never discussed. Everyone talks about drinking straws or plastic or greenhouse gases or air pollution or whatever, but none of those would be big problems if our population was 10 times smaller, and all of them are guaranteed to be problems no matter what we do if our population continues to grow.

I know there are predictions that the population will peak at around 10bn but the variance on that prediction is high. There's nothing really stopping it growing to 20 or 30bn. #thanoswasright
Arguably population decline without local or global species extinction isn't the same as loss of biodiversity.

That said, here's a summary of a study with a few statistics to get more of a feel for the scale of human agriculture versus remaining wild animal population:

https://www.ecowatch.com/biomass-humans-animals-2571413930.h...

> while humans account for 0.01 percent of the planet's biomass, our activity has reduced the biomass of wild marine and terrestrial mammals by six times and the biomass of plant matter by half.

> Humans account for about 36 percent of the biomass of all mammals. Domesticated livestock, mostly cows and pigs, account for 60 percent, and wild mammals for only 4 percent.

> The biomass of poultry is about three times higher than that of wild birds.

> Overall, animals have nothing on the other other kingdoms. Plants dominate, accounting for about 80 percent of all of the earth's biomass, followed by bacteria at about 15 percent.

> Since most plants are terrestrial, the study found that most of earth's biomass is found on land, but most animal biomass is found in the oceans.
Web framework implications on serverless
I was looking for this, I think it's crazy there isn't a phone with dual USB-C ports - one top, one bottom. Not only is it a thinner port for audio, but you can use a wired peripheral while charging, or use a charger from the top if it is more convenient.

I guess it's not something enough people would care about, but it seems like at least one company would have done it by now.

USB-C audio wouldn't suck if:

a) there was a standard protocol for a USB-C DAC that everyone supported (across desktop and mobile OSes) such that an end consumer could purchase a USB-C DAC and be reasonably confident that it'll work universally,

b) phones came with more than one USB-C port, such that playing and charging at the same time wouldn't be an issue

If anything, USB-C should've been a revolution, pushing the DAC closer to the speakers can help improve audio quality and getting rid of the DAC in the phone helps to level the playing field between devices. But the OEMs dropped the ball hard.

What happened is that Dominic gave ownership to the only person who wanted it: "he emailed me and said he wanted to maintain the module, so I gave it to him. I don't get any thing from maintaining this module, and I don't even use it anymore, and havn't for years." At every single point, there was authority and responsibility. It is just that authority turned out to be bad actor.

It was situation where former authority was not interested in being authority anymore, since former authority gained nothing from it and had other work.
They mean that it's fraud to mislead people by gaming their assumptions about performance indicators.

Specifically, they're saying that paying for one kind of popularity (e.g., sales of widgets or good reviews on Amazon.com) is fraud when that popularity is meant to trick people into believing that it implies a subtly different kind of popularity (e.g., sales of widgets from independent third parties or good reviews on Amazon.com from unbiased reviewers).

The missing jack is all about expanding sales for Apple. Had they not bought Beats we would still have the jack. By removing the jack they can sell a hell of a lot more headphones to people by telling them that the new tech will make the music sound so much better.

Previously 150 dollar headphones seemed expensive. Now 150 dollar beats feel like the norm, even cheap.

We won't be getting the jack back. Good for Apple but sucks for suckers -- sorry I mean consumers.

An issue that I’ve been dealing with lately is spinning up new test environments, and then whitelisting the public ip addresses in various 3rd party systems.

Will this allow me to setup a single elastic ip associated with the transit gateway, and route all external requests from my applications in various VPCs through it?
The $15 adapter is most likely of similar quality as the DAC and other audio components in the phone, so I don’t see the point. (Also, most people I know with $1000 headphones use an external audiophile-grade DAC anyway.)
Thinness and waterproofing are the two things I've heard that lead to removing the jack.

Neither seems insurmountable, but if you want to try and remove as many obstacles as possible in the search of those two things then the headphone jack is apparently one of the simpler ones.

Speakers, camera lens, physical buttons, charging, and data transfer are the remaining ones I can think of, and many of those have already been replaced in some models.
Security vulnerabilities due to not updating are more likely then those from library being intentionally hostile.

> and the program would remain in an invalid state.

But this is only ever possible if the program moved to an invalid state in the first place. Granted, sometimes there is no way around that, but usually it can and should be avoided.
But that's different to my point, in two ways. 1) I was talking about cost not quality (c.f. "wireless would have gotten better even if"). 2) I wasn't arguing about whether it would get better or not, but the rate at which it happens being changed by removing the jack (c.f. "would have gotten better even if we did not remove the headphone jack.")

What tech stack to use?
I need to create an application that is essentially a CRUD one ; it will become a SaaS once it's done enough.

What tech stack to use?

I need to do a "working wireframe" (=> everything but not nice design, logo, colors) within ten days (during evenings and week-ends). I will then show it to potential (?) customers.

It needs to work great on laptop, on mobile devices, and should be able to work in the future with voice commands.
In any case, it has to be really quick/reactive, super simple+beautiful=pure.

My tech experience is PHP (with frameworks), bootstrap, jQuery, and a small slice of Angular (so pretty "old"-fashioned tech stack).

A technology with a pretty looong learning curve wouldn't be that interesting because I wouldn't be able to do a prototype within days, and I may get discouraged quickly.

Ask HN: What are the “best” logging practices to learn for a Junior Developer?
A short while ago I read in the comment section of an article here on HN regarding things to ask before joining a startup as a developer. The article itself was fairly interesting, but the comment section was booming about logging practices. So my questions are, from a Junior Developers stand, what is considered good logging? How often should I commit? What do I commit in regards to big changes, and what do I commit if there is only a typo correction? What and where are good ways to learn about this if my current job does not practice this?

That isn't a problem. You pay the maintainers of the packages you use, and they pass on some of that money to the maintainers of the packages they use. If a problem like this one happens they'll lose a lot of customers, so they're incentivized to audit the code they're pulling down.

You only need to worry about the level immediately below yours.
> Anecdotally, dropping the headphone jack (and similarly adding the Touch Bar) has negatively impacted 0% of non-developers I’ve talked to about both.

Anecdotally, the headphone jack loss negatively impacted 100% of the non-developerd I've talked to about it. Now, I recognize the particular skew to that experience that biases it to a negative impact—most of the people I've talked to about it happened to be ballroom dance instructors or students in a ballroom teacher training program at a studio where the routine was to plug your device in to the sound system via 1/8” plug (neither keeping the adapter permanently on the phone or on the studio sound system was a viable solution for any of them, so it was one more thing to forget, misplace, etc.)

But I suspect your 100% is also skewed. Anecdotal experience usually is.

It invalidates the quoted bit they endorsed that said "no human's life is measurably better since Apple had the “courage” to remove the 3.5 mm jack." "No human's life" is a blanket, absolute statement, and it's wrong. Wireless headphones are much more ubiquitous and cheap these days, and a major brand removing headphone jacks is part of the reason for this.

Yes, it would be huge. Google has made lots of statements about internal processes that would make this impossible as well as a large number of statements about how their algorithms are the determining factors here. Google employees running the show willy-nilly based on personal preference would be a bombshell.

The 'without cause' bit is what would be shocking.
Yeah TFA reminds a bit of passionate blog posts and articles about switching from Windows to Linux something like a decade or two ago. Something that would fit better in BSD community such as Lobste.rs than HN ;-)
It has great stigma since WWII for obvious reasons (desirables vs non-desirables). But I agree. I always wonder why we are trying to revert decline of amount of people in Europe, where in many countries we would have famine just if food import would stop. That does not look like good long-term solution.

But we are just putting plasters on economy by trying to increase human population, because more people means higher GDP, more workers and having ability to pay for debt and future liabilities such as pensions.

Worst of all, if we do not act (and by acting I mean having less kids, not killing anyone), population decrease will likely come in other, more violent ways (wars for resources, famine and disease).
> The hate largely stems from the way it was rolled out - the linux community at large was left feeling like it had been told it wold adopt this, and there was no choice, and that rubbed a lot of people up the wrong way.

It wasn't just a feeling, it really was just like that. Had the architecture of Systemd been different, it would have been possible to decouple it from other components and be able too choose an init system just like in the not so distant past. As it is now, practically speaking there is no choice.

It's all about context. At that point in history, the Japanese forces had already murdered millions of non-Japanese.

Fortunately, the war stopped at "only" two atomic bombs, there were more to come...

Big Django fan here. Love the project and framework. I love DRF and other plugins. I am a developer but I haven't ever felt the need to contribute for two reasons - 1) It works 2) The entry barrier is high. For instance, other than some basic documentation, I haven't seen anything more substantial "howto" to contributing including Django developer events. For instance, Carlton Gibson had a DjangoCon 2018 talk about contributing to Django. This was a good start. However, we need more meaningful engagements for example a code walk through for different areas of the Django codebase. Maybe a howto series on hacking on different parts of the codebase. This is more engaging & useful for someone who wants to contribute. It is a step beyond saying "here's a git repo, mailing list and issue tracker. Now, go forth and code!"
Based on all the other comments here I'm probably in the minority, but I still think the author should just get some decent Bluetooth headphones.

I have AirPods and Sennheiser Momentums. I'm looking forward to another year of my life when I don't need to untangle a mess of wires in my jacket pocket every day. Battery life is very good, and I haven't had any problems with running out of juice on these.
I still want to be able to charge my phone and listen to music using the headphone jack. How is that not even a use case anymore? I don’t like the AirPods because they are too easy to lose, and I’m so clumsy with headphones that I buy cheap ones every month, which comes with headphone jack only.

I think Apple made a very bad UX, and never cared about users. I moved to Android phones as a result, which frankly aren’t as inferior as they used to be 4 years ago.
I always have quite mixed feelings about IKEA and Mr. Kamprad, they have made (relatively) quality home furnishing affordable and some killer meatballs as well as cool initiatives around quick build shelters but the tax avoidance stuff bothers me.

This is the trick for popular restaurants/take-out food in NYC: Buy a really small shop so only 3-5 people can fit inside and the rest have to form a line outside. Then take orders and serve people really slowly so the line builds. Pick up the phone even if it doesn’t ring and pretend you are taking orders, etc. Pretty much a textbook strategy. Food must still be good, but the anticipation from a long line makes it taste better and attracts a lot more customers.
