I really enjoy coding. I have a practically infinite list of software projects that I could be working on at any given moment. But, I spend 8 hours a day working as a software engineer. I wish that when I got home each day I could just switch over to working on personal projects. Instead, I find that I'm almost always too mentally tired, so I play video games or browse the most mindless parts of reddit instead.

So for me at least, I play video games and accept that it's an important part of keeping myself healthy and not burning out at work, but I also wish I didn't' need to do it. It's sort of like sleep. I make sure I get at least 8 hours of sleep every night, but only because I need sleep to be healthy. If I could somehow replace sleep with more work (paid or on personal projects) without any adverse effects, I would do it, but of course that's impossible too.

Yes, I have used Eclipse and IntelliJ.

Have you used cquery for example (https://github.com/cquery-project/cquery)? In my experience performance is excellent and it can even be used with large code bases like Chromium. Accuracy is perfect since it uses the same information the compiler has.

I’m a step ahead of your experiment: I just use my phone in Do Not Disturb mode 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Problem solved. While the screen is off I get no notifications. No texts popping up. All calls silenced. I control when I use my phone, not other people, not app developers, not some “growth hacker’s” machine learning algorithm. It’s been a total game changer and improved my quality of life immensely—almost more than when I quit Facebook years ago. I can’t imagine ever going back to my phone lighting up and dinging like a casino every 10 seconds.
I live and work in downtown Minneapolis and it’s becoming rare not to see Apple Pay. I use it whenever possible. It’s convenient and fast.
Costco's card is 4% on gas and 3% on restaurants and travel.

Depending on your spending habits, you are probably better off having 1 general purpose card, and then a card or two from the businesses you spend the most money at (target, amazon, walmart, costco etc) or one that fits your spending profile.

The Apple Card might make a good general spending card, but you should still have one that gets you 4-5% somewhere.
There is interest, so you'd still be locked in the cycle. Just a little better off because they don't charge you $30-50 for paying late.

But it appears they are much more forward on telling you how much interest you will be paying if you don't pay off the card.
I’d be curious to know how this affects the Barclaycard-backed Apple Rewards card. Is it going away? Or will cardholders be migrated over?

I’ve found in the past Germans aren’t always keen on credit cards - they often push back when you try to use them in shops and restaurants and things like ticket machines at railways only seem to take regional debit cards. Trying to use an American Express gets a very bad reaction. Is that changing?

I don't think they count as a "better C" for this purpose. I'm thinking of something aiming at the niche that C currently fills.

Having a garbage collector doesn't fit that, and Nim doesn't look small (anything with both destructors and exceptions is getting into complications rather beyond C).
How does this work outside of the USA? The credit system here is only for individuals resident in this country, correct?
yeah, if CapitalOne doesn't step up pretty quick with Quicksilver (1.5%), I'll probably mozey over to the Apple credit card.

It's not a pure native solution, but it works quite well for me.
Honestly I feel like you're splitting hairs here. You say that exercise is not a treatment, but at the same time say that exercise may help. Isn't a treatment something that may help? I get it, don't pretend that exercise is the magic pill that will work for everyone, especially for those at the more severe end of the depression spectrum. But, even the NICE guidance that you linked to suggests "taking regular physical exercise" (1.4.1.2) in mild to moderate depression.

People commonly use the term "depression" in a way that does not exactly match the true medical definition. People say "i'm depressed" when they should really say "i'm feeling sad today". People say exercise is a treatment, when they should say it makes them feel better. I fear your pursuit for the exact terms might prevent some people from trying a thing that would help them.

I don't really care that much though I'd certainly take a private office if offered. (Says someone who mostly works from home.) I will note that I read a very emotional spiel somewhere not that long ago from someone who worked in a traditional cubicle environment and they hated how isolating the space was.
Yup, they had a slide with those exact numbers on it.
The little I’ve watched Fox News, while the opinion pieces are one sides and dishonest and they do choose what not to cover and what to emphasize, I haven’t seen any indications that they cover outright conspiracy theories.

Apple Arcade
Here in the Southeast of the US, the adoption of Apple Pay (and I presume Samsung Pay) has definitely been increasing.

Square/Clover/all the POS's used by coffeeshops and other small businesses have been taking Apple Pay for a few years now. But recently CVS started taking it, and CVS is everywhere (~6,200 stores in the US). Whole Foods is on Apple Pay. I understand Target will be following soon.

It's still not 100% penetration, but it definitely feels like the adoption expands every time a shop upgrades its POS.
I sense two questions.

1. What kind of role should I play? Should I be a doctor or a lawyer, a salesman or a programmer? This is the question that the chapter addressed, and I think this question is easier. It should be obvious whether you would rather be a salesman or a programmer. It can get harder as you try to discern between two similar jobs: sales or management, mathematician or professor.

I believe personality is partly biological, and you should try to go with your natural grain. The Myers Briggs theory helped me, although at first it was hard to grasp. The best way may be to do a web search for each of the 16 personalities, read a few descriptions, and decide what you are based on that, instead of taking the tests. The theory may be pseudoscience, but it seems close to the truth.

2. Where should I work? Should I work at a website for finding restaurants or in healthcare? Should I work at Uber or Lyft? Or a nonprofit? Should I found my own start-up? If so, what should its product be? I think this question is harder for most people, and I don't have a sure theory for how best to tackle it.

What I'm coming around to believing though is that you get no meaning out of serving yourself. Sure, you need to take care of your needs, but if you try to find a job to fulfill yourself, you wind up empty. Instead I begin to sense fulfillment when I focus on helping other people. So, maybe ask questions like (A) What am I good at, or what do I have to offer (this is question #1, above). (B) What needs are out there, and (C) What are the opportunities within reach to mix A with B? Maybe start with small steps.
Why do you prefer a debit card over a credit card?
Does Apple Pay and Google Pay work anywhere I see the tap symbol (looks like a rotated wifi symbol)? Or they must also display the Apple or Google Pay symbol? I've seen places that just have the tap symbol and wondered if I could've used my phone.

It has the swept-bend tubular corner reinforcements, the polyethylene (or some other kind of plastic) panels on the upper corners, etc. The only difference I can see between the product photo and the Europol one is that, in the Europol photo, the top bar seems galvanized rather than painted. But that's the sort of thing that could easily change as a product is marketed.

It appears the company is out of Krasnodar (Краснода́р), located in southern Russia.
Even the makers of mechanical keyboards recognize that some key switches make considerably more noise than others. That's why Cherry MX added optional damping -- so you can be considerate of others who are within earshot.

Plastics and pesticides
I'm not at all. throwaway123156 put it well above, but there is not, in my mind, corruption. The Democratic party is a private group that defines it's own rules, including how a candidate is selected. (The same is true for the Republican party - see how primary votes per state are allocated differently between the two parties). The Democrats had a rule that allowed _actual_ members to have an increased count in their vote (superdelegates).

Additionally, Bernie was _not_ a member of the Democratic party - he was an independent caucusing with the Democrats who chose to run as a Democrat. There a lots of good reasons for party members to not back a candidate who chose not to be a member and buy into their ideals until it was (potentially) advantageous for him to run as president.
I've never owned a credit card but I've used my debit card directly twice since Christmas because GPay is available everywhere. It's only the ceiling on contactless transactions (£30) that requires me to use it

Charge cards are not what's being described here. If you have an Amex "charge card" (not one of their credit cards) you do have to pay late fees if you miss a payment.

Charge cards generally force you to pay them off each month (again, an Amex charge card expects you to clear out the balance for each cycle). This is a credit card, which means you can carry a balance.
> I just trust Apple more to not be sleezy with my transaction history.

For now. They are all still collecting and storing all the data. The only solution is lack of data collection to begin with.
"Unless a man enters upon the vocation intended for him by nature, and best suited to his peculiar genius, he cannot succeed. I am glad to believe that the majority of persons do find their right vocation. Yet we see many who have mistaken their calling, from the blacksmith up (or down) to the clergyman. You will see, for instance, that extraordinary linguist the “learned blacksmith,” who ought to have been a teacher of languages; and you may have seen lawyers, doctors and clergymen who were better fitted by nature for the anvil or the lapstone."

> well-known in the security community as not being good practice

The folks in charge of making decisions don't understand security. I'm not criticising them, it's quite reasonable that a layman would think that security by obscurity works.
The entire universe is infinitely large, (we think) but the observable universe is finite, limited by the age of the universe, the speed of light, and the portion of the early universe when space was opaque. (which is what the cosmic microwave background, or CMB is) (note that terminology is confusing; when people use the word "universe" you have to determine base on context whether they're talking about the infinite entire universe, or the finite observable universe)

Imagine an RTS game on an infinitely large map with fog of war. Sure, there's something out there beyond the fog of war, but we can't see it. (don't try to go too far with this analogy though)

The universe isn't expanding into anything. It just is. This is the key to your misunderstanding I think; the universe isn't expanding through or into some other, extra-dimensional medium. The universe itself is expanding.
It works anywhere where there's a tap symbol, in the UK at least.

They are utterly confused about "privacy". Allowing someone ELSE deleting MY messages on MY device is bordering on insanity.

I have a small theory about why they chose to do that. Telegram is the de facto messenger for cryptocurrencies. There are a LOT of scams being perpetrated on Telegram. This new feature facilitates plausible deniability for scammers, with the intent of making lawsuits against Telegram less likely.
That’s all they’ve announced for now.
>Personal calls should be taken in a private room.

That's not always practical. This is less true of developers but, for some people, talking on the phone or at least being on conference jobs describes a pretty good chunk of their days.
Is politics not a reason somebody might decide to not see a movie? If Mel Gibson produces a great new movie, then during the promotion gets drunk again and makes another racially charged rant to the police, wouldn't that dissuade people from wanting to see the movie? I know plenty of people who never forgave him for the first rant!

Why do movies use famous actors anyway? Not all movies do of course, but many do. Why? Because they're cashing in on the public liking and recognizing that person. Well what's going to happen if the public recognizes your celebrity actor, and dislikes them, for any reason? Isn't that just the other side of the same coin? It has nothing to do with the quality of the movie, but it's the nature of the industry nevertheless. Actors who are well liked for any reason are better for box office performance than actors who are disliked for any reason.

Putting Chris Pratt into your movie does not improve the artistic qualities of your movie, but it almost certainly will make the movie more successful in every measurable way.
I use to snob apple's announcements but really wish this one succeeds. Banks need to feel the pressure hard.
Thanks for the insight. So, now the question is whether GoldmanSachs can be trusted. Honestly, Apple is the only large company in existence that I can fully trust with my privacy. Given that this whole thing has been orchestrated by Apple, it wouldn't be too surprising for Apple to put preventative measures around GoldmanSachs based on their sleezy history.
Just allow me to create as many 'virtual' credit cards from a single card and that's enough. Every single provider that promised that feature has either underwhelmed, or gone out of business.
Ask HN: How do you concentrate in a noisy open office environment?
I have been working on this spaghetti code that is extremely hard to follow and needed to concentrate. After weeks of not being able to successfully finish what I needed to do, I finally worked both weekend days and was able to successfully finished coding.

I blame part of the difficulty on the open office without private space and then partly to the daily agile meetings that make it hard to just sit down and work at a problem for longer period at a time.

How are you coping with it?
Red: Terminal Log Analysis Tools
Once debit cards came out charge cards lost a lot of their appeal. Charge cards also tend to have a higher yearly fee (an Amex Platinum is $550 a year) because they aren't making money off of interest (although it should be noted they are making money off of the merchants who accept them).
> Are you familiar with U.S. elections?

Yes. Intimately.

> Caucuses are very much part of the primaries. They are how certain states perform their primaries.

No, caucuses are a (formerly, universally used—primaries are a newer thing) alternative to primaries still used in a minority of states (and sometimes, by some parties but not others in a state) to select delegates to Presidential nominating conventions.

Because primaries have over time displaced caucuses as the main candidate selection mechanism, and because the campaigns are somewhat nationalized, and because there isn't a handy name for the whole process, the whole national process of selecting such delegates is sometimes sloppily referred to as “the primary” of each party.

One big disadvantage of restic at the moment is that it doesn't do compression (https://github.com/restic/restic/issues/21).

I was using restic and switched to borg because of that and could save hundreds of gigabytes.
How are you supposed to see if there have been fraudulent charges if no one is collecting a list of previous charges?
I hope this is expanded beyond the US. I would get in a heartbeat; if Apple can expand this offering to Europe and other parts of the world with very little use of credit cards they will be able to create new business at a massive scale.
Marketing? I suspect that charge cards are more likely to charge an annual fee, since there's not interest income from carrying a balance.
I use it at the grocery store every time. Other places with newer terminals have ~50% acceptance.

Your best option is to compare the bands using GSM Arena:

Wait. What? I use credit cards for the consumer protections they provide. A store claims to have some type of return policy -- if I buy with credit, and they don't follow that policy -- I get my money back no matter what. With cash, that's not guaranteed.

That's how I stopped drinking liquor! When I was around 20, I drank way, way too much and was in bed for more than 3 days. It's been 30 years since and I still can't smell or drink anything stronger than wine without getting repulsed.

I wish I could do this with other bad foods.

My thumb reaches the upper middle but not the top. so just occasionally am I making the screen half size.
Hmm... I wonder if my NVidia Shield TV will get Apple TV app.
Nothing similar about private personalization was definitively mentioned for the recommendations inside the AppleTV app, however. From what I can tell Apple will be collecting viewing information, not only for content on iTunes but now, content viewed via cable subscriptions and streaming subscriptions like Hulu and Prime Video. The value proposition of this new app is "all of your content in one place, regardless of subscription." The only commitment from Apple was that they wouldn't share personal information with anyone (not that Apple won't have access to this information).

It's no wonder there wasn't a partnership that worked with Netflix here since Netflix uses information about viewing to guide licensing deals and inform what the studio should produce.

Hey Dan,

I'll try my best to answer your questions.

The target user is anyone who wants to communicate without worrying about message permanence or risk being tied to the message they sent.

The sender's details are not included when a message is viewed making the app screenshot friendly. Screen recording won't get you very far either.

Coincidentally, the way in which the app was designed solves many privacy concerns highlighted in Zuckerberg's privacy manifesto - https://www.facebook.com/notes/mark-zuckerberg/a-privacy-foc...

> So assume for now that AI will indeed lead to a decrease in the demand for human labor. Eventually that decrease will lead to a decrease in the human population.

I am not sure why human labor is related to human population. Suppose automation replaces ALL necessary human labor, does that mean human population should go to 0? Human labor doesn't exist to justify humanity, it is there only to provide for some necessities and for self-actualization. If the necessities are provided by automation, then more power to humans.

I'm 27. I'd love open office spaces if my job never required writing complex code. But I find it all but literally impossible to do so in an open office, which means that I can't both (1) do my work exclusively at my desk during work hours and (2) actually get all of my work done.

In practice, I've adjusted my schedule to something like the "double schedule" that PG describes in [0]. When I'm at the office, I spend my time on meetings, planning, managerial stuff, spreadsheet/dashboard work, and simple coding. Then I go home and do all of my complex coding remotely til 1am or so. Obviously this isn't great for work-life balance, and it's terrible for my sleep schedule when I need to be at 8am meetings. But I think a compressed version of this setup (e.g., if I could reasonably only be physically present in the office 4 hours a day) would be pretty much optimal for me, including the open office space.

Judging by past history (ACH, Debit Cards, etc), consumer protections will be much less robust for anything that isn't a credit card.
