From anecdotal observations: Where I live everything‘s streaming for people under 35, because it’s so convenient. I do imagine it depends on whether your region has affordable and quick cellular internet access.

There are also download stores (DRM-free and lossless, which didn’t exist in file sharing’s prime days), which are popular with music enthousiasts and DJ’s. Coincidentally these also seem to be the people still using file sharing platforms to track down remixes and demo’s etc. that were never released commercially. However most users who need MP3’s for some reason or another (dj’ing at a house party, a trip with with bad cellular reception) nowadays use websites that rip from Youtube. It’s become such a rare event that people wouldn’t bother downloading software for it for example.

Show HN: Ahaaa – notes at the right time
Hi people.
I made little but useful application. It is primary for people who often call to somebody or for people who wants remind something before call.

Has it happened to you that you finished a call and realized, you forgot to discuss something with the person?
So with this app you will not forget anymore.
Simply write a note in Ahaaa for a specific contact, and the next time this contact calls you or you call to it, your note will appear on the screen.
The application allows you to choose a color for your notes so you will not overlook them.

Other use case is if you have a lots of clients / customers, you can add some note to him and you immediately know who is who.

App is free and without ads.
Please let me know if you like it.

Here is link to download it - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=sk.spajdo.callernotes

Making it a subject removes that "choice" you talk about and makes it mandatory.

> My take is that there is no fundamental lack of ability in animals

Yes I agree.

This doesn't justify human dominion over non human animals [1], because there are humans - infants and the severely mentally handicapped - who also lack this ability.

Public Key Cryptography Simply Explained
So you're in your van, parked at the beach, or a beautiful park and you gotta poop - what now? Pack up your van and find a public restroom? Poop in some sort of composting toilet that you then lug around with you and dump ...where exactly? Drive to that gym you bought a membership to ... how close is it to the beach again and how badly do you need to poop?

Yesterday's article on tiny homes, and this one make me laugh because we all get romanced by hipster vans and nifty solar panels but skip right over essential things like ... going to the bathroom! The tiny home article said (and I'm paraphrasing here) you can buy a home, pull it up to a spot of land and *just hook up the utilities!" - it's not that simple. Septic and water are not electrical plugs - hell even electrical is not as simple unless you're in an RV park.

Edit: Just to be clear, I spend a good deal of time traveling myself. I now tow a 26 foot travel trailer (with kitchen and full bathroom) but before that towed a small utility trailer that I converted to a travel trailer for my kids and my office. We stay at campgrounds with septic hookups and showers (which I prefer over my trailer shower). Whenever we "dry camp" we then have to find a place to dump our septic, grey water etc. it's a real pain (Google "honey wagon" for a fun look at a "good" option for handling your own waste). Typically this is done at a campground (for a small fee), but I'm not sure how it would work for someone living in their van ("can I dump a bucket full of piss and poo?").

Yeah this is a really frustrating. A lot of the transit agencies don't have their schedules on third-party apps, and even the ones that do don't seem to usually release real-time data.

For example I'm in Munich, Google Maps shows schedules but not real-time departures, and the data definitely exists somewhere since their own apps show it. Of course, since this is a random one-off transit agency app, the UX is absolutely atrocious compared to Google Maps.

Not everybody, I still don't consider it the best thing.

Fair enough, and I don't want to even attempt to open the can of worms about whether "toxic Islam" exists and whether it is an expression of toxic masculinity, given the patriarchal nature of Islamic cultures and the gender roles enforced by Abrahamic religions, so on and so forth.

But the objections here still aren't to the premise, but the term. Meanwhile, women just want to live in a society that doesn't demean them, deny them agency over their bodies or which uses violence against them as social currency. It seems petty that the only response many men seem to have is that it's mean and hurts their feelings.

Call it what you want, call it something else, it's still a real thing.

> mean, you take people's money upfront and then distribute it monthly, taking a cut.

I don't think they do that for all creators - there's a bunch who work on an "$N per item" basis and I'm assuming those are charged at the end of the month once those items have been distributed to patrons (otherwise how would you know what to charge?)

I tried to explain this here:

> That explanation is a bit circular along the lines that kids like putting things in their mouths because they like putting things in their mouths.

That's not what the article says at all. It says most of the babies sensory experiences are oral because they lack mobility to explore things with other tactile senses. Granted the article doesn't example this specifically but a lot of sensory input will be suckling (dummies, mother's nipple / bottle's teat, their own digits, etc).

By the time they're a bit more mobile and can open their hand to grasp objects (remember the ability for a baby to even open their hand takes a few weeks to learn) happens, they've often already gotten into the habit of exploring the world via their mouths.

It doesn't say it in that article I linked to, but I do vaguely recall reading elsewhere that because babies develop tactile senses on their hands later than the senses in their mouth, babies will often have more nerve endings in their mouth. However I cannot find a source for that so this might be a detail I'm miss-remembering.

In my remote job we do cam, but everyone wears whatever and nobody minds. Many people are in their pyjamas, I wear whatever old T-shirt I have, etc. That's one way of solving that problem.

However, in my previous company every remote developer had a Polycom phone in their home office and the main office ran a PBX for them. I found that an order of magnitude better, because the phones had much much better sound quality, they were physically on the desk so there was a feeling of "this device connects me to my coworkers" associated with them, and they just lowered the barrier of calling someone by a ton.

They were so good, that we'd routinely just call each other up and keep a line open while we worked, so we could chat about work, what we were doing or just generally about our lives, and we really felt like we were sitting next to each other in a way that Zoom doesn't.

Your comment reminded me when I first started working I could 'win' casual days which meant a golf shirt instead of a tie.

Oddly enough, I think in some cases it has gone too far in the other direction. When I see people barefoot in a public restroom wearing a t-shirt full of holes I don't think about getting work done.
I think that you might be understanding the poster's terminology differently than they intended. When people talk about physical education and art at the pre-college level they generally mean gym and the fine arts respectively. They generally do not mean the physical sciences or the mathematics behind the fine arts (although those are both very valuable things to study).

As you point out, studying STEM could be complementary to the study of history and other humanities. However, that does not necessarily mean that it always works out that way.

Foucault's Pendulum can be a bear to get through, though lots of delightful language.

The word amateur has two different meanings in English.

"1. a person who engages in a pursuit, especially a sport, on an unpaid rather than a professional basis"

"2. a person who is incompetent or inept at a particular activity"

Here we refer to the first definition. The English word amateur comes from French "lover of". Someone who does things just because they like it, not because they get paid to do it.

So, the number of students taking history degrees is declining except in the ruling-class colleges, is it?

I was fortunate enough to attend a ruling class college a long time ago. I graduated from a high school where the required history course was simply propaganda. The teacher never asked for the slightest bit of critical thinking. That's 2019 me reflecting on the experience of 1969 me. 1969 me thought it was over-the-top boring.

That high school class gave history a bad name. I suspect nothing much has changed. So, why should the UW Stevens Point students waste their time and tuition? They aren't. They are behaving rationally.

Knowing how to examine the past--to learn from the dead--is a part of mastering ANY trade. Reading about Alan Turing and John von Neumann makes me a better programmer. Knowing how Jon Postel (Internet Assigned Numbers Authority) worked is key to understanding how the Internet became what it is.

Do future nurses need to know how existentially frustrating it was for Dr. Ignatz Semmelweis to persuade his fellow surgeons to wash their hands before touching patients? Yes, they do.

Do would-be social workers need to know how various religions understood human sexuality a century ago? Only if they want to know how people got to be the way they are.

Do marketing people need to know how upstart Pepsi gained market share from Coca-Cola early last century? Yes.

Therefore: here's a CALL TO ACTION for History Departments in colleges. Work with other departments to build and teach good history segments in other courses of study. Build it into the content of various classes, don't just teach a required history class. And, if you educate future K12 teachers, help them know history.

Stop wringing your hands about fewer history majors. Take a page from the way many English departments teach writing, and build it into other courses.

Hooks future depends on its objective: a replacement or an alternative?

I guess even the React team itself doesn't have an answer for this, that is why they are rolling out Hooks relatively cautiously, not forcing it down to the community like what angular does with its 1.x -> 2.0 push, which I consider as a complete disaster that eventually costed it the victory of last framework revolution.

My bet will be on the later. Hooks will become a preference, and there will be a mix of hooks/classes in real world application, since rewriting using Hooks only isn't what most people see will bring immediate benefits. The React community at large from my observation doesn't have a huge issue going forward with the current API, despite being grumpy from time to time.
I realize that this is likely what you intended to communicate, but I would differentiate between the need to study a subject and the need to specialize in it as a career path. I agree that not everyone needs to become a historian but I think that everyone needs to study history.
Getting a license is your first step if you want to transmit. If you are in the US, the ARRL produces the training material for the various tests. There are free apps that go over the test questions but I like having a little more context to the answers.

With your background you'd probably need to devote time mostly to learning the rules and regulations. You can take all 3 tests in one sitting for a $15 fee and be done with it. Each test gets you more privileges (power, frequencies).

Even without a license you can receive with a cheap SDR and home brew antenna. This blog has many examples of that: https://www.rtl-sdr.com/

Finally, you may want to find a local club. Usually visiting during a "contest" will enable you to get on the air. In the US you don't need a license to use the radio if you are with a properly licensed operator.

Hope you find the hobby as fun as I have.

But one thing is does do well that I wish people would focus on over the obvious shortcomings of the author and why nothing has really replaced it yet is that it tells you in no uncertain terms that if you want to go anywhere or have any confidence in yourself you have to acknowledge that you live in a system that isn't always fair and try to make it work for you, paralysis will get you nowhere.

People forgot what "sustainable business model" even means. It does not mean "infinite growth and 10 VC funds that want you to crap over your product to make even more money".

Sustainable business model means that you can pay your bills from your income (not from investments, since those want payback). It means happy customers and good products. It means that you grow in a reasonable pace, with costs that you'll be able to cover. Investors are a liability, not a feature.
