Google's much larger and they moved away from some excellent native clients like Google Talk, which IMO took the crown from MSN and other chat clients a decade ago. It's the same story for photos and other apps. They've consistently killed native apps and replaced them with poorer-UX pure web apps.

Meanwhile Slack is happily sticking with their Electron app and wasting the resources of hundreds of users machines and who knows how much electricity in total.

Ask HN: How do I make using a computer distraction free?
If I could ditch the computer altogether, I'd do so in a heartbeat. Unfortunately, to do my job, fulfill errands, or to make most projects happen in the modern world I usually need access to a computer and to the internet.

Are there ways to address this problem? pg mentioned getting a computer that wasn't connected to the internet, but admitted that the strategy didn't work.[0]

What are your strategies?

Their math in their description of their data is in error: They need to state that the T_i (T with a subscript i), for i = 0, 1, 2, ..., n are distinct.

More standard would be a function d: {0, 1, ..., n} --> R^{1 x m} x {0, 1}.

The article is based around this:

> there were 460 fatal traffic accidents in Japan last year caused by drivers aged 75 or over. The proportion of such accidents among all fatal accidents increased from 8.7 percent in 2008 to 14.8 percent in 2018.

But what it doesn’t say is how many fatal accidents there were overall in 2008 (what if the total number of accidents for the age group has gone down, and the number of accidents in other age groups has just gone down by more), nor does it talk about the number of accidents in any other year (what if 2008 was an anomaly). There’s no way of knowing if this % change is statistically significant.

It also doesn’t say whether the apparent rise in this age group is caused by the age group being older, or if there are other factors at play (eg are older people more likely to drive older cars?)

I don’t understand how anyone can form an opinion with articles like this, there’s no fact base to start from and any discussion is moot.
Your problem statement does make it sound like you need a CRM, but I do wonder why is has to be a big CRM with a big consultancy, and why IT aren't delivering it?

Unrelated thoughts:

> Structs do not explicitly declare which interfaces they implement. This is done implicitly by matching the method signatures. This design makes a fundamental error: It assumes that if two methods have the same signature, then they have the same contract.

Isn't this just duck typing? Don't other languages renowned for their type systems do this?

> There’s no ternary (?:) operator. Every C-like language has had this, and I miss it every day that I program in Go. The language is removing functional idioms right when everyone is agreeing that these are useful.

Expressive if/else is much more readable. Of course if Go doesn't have that, removing the ternary operator is a bad call.

You can legalize hard drug without them necessary being included in coca-cola or red bull. _Regulation_ is the master word here. States can forbid its inclusion in food and drink and control its distribution.

Beside, the concern about "hard drugs" used recreationally, are the same as with alcohol. Prevention against abuse is the key to reasonnable use.

Take this with a grain or two of salt, as I don't recall the source, but it seems plausible - I read somewhere that when it comes to businesses like bars, at least in the US, there is a normal rate applied to the cable package, and an additional rate applied 'per head' for the event in question. This may only be for pay-per-view events where multiple people can congregate at a single location which has paid the PPV fee, and not necessarily for widely broadcast events; I've seen sports bars charge cover for highly anticipated MMA matches.

How those rules are enforced is beyond me. Tangentially related, some of the legitimate, paid-for streams have been of pretty low quality, cutting out frequently. Not sure if it's because of draconian DRM or just excessive demand, but it would be interesting to find out.
In certain EU countries that could be A) Illegal wiretapping

> Residues of high potency cannabis found in the burners

I wonder what they mean by high potency. I was under the impression that cannabis strength has increased a lot in the past 30 years. Do they mean that this ancient cannabis was of a strength similar to modern cannabis or just that it was higher in THC concentration than a natural plant would be?

> IPv4 and NAT require maintaining a lot of state at critical intermediate routers.

Far worse than the maintenance costs, NAT has has prevented (modulo a few niche environments) the development of any network software that isn't client-server. NAT is a party line[1]. Anyone that thinks NAT is useful for anything other than an address space hack (or a few other less common uses[2]): why aren't you replacing all of your household (or small business) phone numbers with a single party line? Surely you could implement a local PBX if you needed to support more than one kind of incoming call. Or what if the phone company offered a new type of line: 10% cheaper, no way to receive incoming calls. Well, sometimes you can get some incoming calls if you convince whomever actually controls the inbound phone number for your phone line to forward calls that come from certain numbers or some other criteria, like they did with the old party lines: just get people calling you at the shared number to pause after connecting and dial you per-arranged ring code[4]. (warning the phone calls might still be answered by whomever picked up first)

NAT keeps us on the client/increasingly-centralized-server model. NAT removed one of the most important benefits IP-based internetworking: no discrimination between different types of network host. Each addressable host has the power to publish - using any protocol, including new protocols - without needing an imprimatur[5]: the permission to publish from granted by some other party.

If we are very lucky, we might regain some of the lost capability with IPv6.

[preemptive response: no, NAT does NOT provide any security benefits. NAT just rewrites packet address/ports. Dropping packets is the job of the (probably stateful) firewall. Nobody wants to change that part, firewalls are important. And if you think NAT hides your internal addresses... really? Is it 192.168.x.y? Can I send GET requests to your router with a webpage full of hidden/obscured img tags with src="http{,s}://192.168.1.{1..254}/whatever?i=want"?]

[1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Party_line_%28telephony%29

[2] Most of the time, when people say "NAT", they are only referring to the many-to-one ip masquerading similar to what is implemented in most home routers, or perhaps the "carrier grade" extensions of the same basic idea. They are probably not referring to the other flavors of NAT[3].

Ah, thanks! So indeed I was mistaken. I misunderstood it to mean "reverting an unproven/inconclusive treatment" when it actually means "conducting an unproven/inconclusive treatment".

I was confused because "reversal" sounds to me as the act of ceasing to do something, i.e. "reverting" the treatment (if you're a programmer: I thought of "reversal" as in "reverting a mistaken commit using git"). I now see it's a technical term which means the opposite!

Now it all makes sense.

Windows is a 2nd class citizen when automation is concerned IMO.

I believe Azure is feeding off of enterprises who are 15 years behind everyone else.

Windows as a platform cannot possibly keep up with the fast moving changes required by containers and that ecosystem. The only way Azure is competing is offering Linux based systems.

That probably depends on how GPhotos is set up to "store" your photos. If it's set to transform them, then you'll probably find the transformed ones in GDrive. If it's set to keep the original, then you'll find that.
What's the issue specifically?

Developers don't need admin rights for much of anything in this decade. No need to bother with that.

Common software has to be made available in self-service, so developers can install development tools like notepad++ or visual studio.

Deployment is usually the challenge because you have to store binaries somewhere, copy it to some random servers and finally execute it, each step causing numerous security headaches, so there has to be some approved tooling to handle that.
That's the point of telling your manager and letting them deal with it. Ultimately the business needs to make money or show some result. If the company policies prevent that then their cost benefit needs to be evaluated and that is a manager's job. "No" is fine as long as a conscious decision is being made with the consequences in mind. That way your security person isn't saying no to Dropbox access they are saying "No" to the successful implementation of the CEO's #X priority for the quarter or "No" to 10% additional revenue for the company or whatever.

I'd suspect that TR.next will be somewhere in between. The MMU for TR based closer to Epyc, while having more chiplets than Ryzen, but at close to the same clocks (higher than Epyc, less than top Ryzen, and less but faster cores than Epyc). Probably top binned from Ryzen and Epyc for chiplets, but low binned from Epyc for MMU.

I have an hard time understanding your point.

Sure I agree that paying rent should count towards credit rating, but that's not an argument against credit rating.

A bad credit rating means that it's a bad idea giving you a unsecured loan... that's all. An apartment is sadly pretty close to a loan, even more so with all the renter protection you get out of it.

Paying the full rent in theses cases make sense then.

My point is that in the lostphilosopher case, it was maybe simply used as an identity check, making sure it wasn't from a criminal. The resulting credit score wouldn't matter because of the full rent.

> You'd think by then I'd have a track record of paying rent.

Well, if they feel safer that way, again make sense. Why won't you personally give me a loan? The same apply to that case.
> They could carry their content elsewhere but they chose to feed the monster even more.

The article gives a fair range of the different baseline operations and their carbon footprint. Sure the title is provocative, but it’s accurate.

And even the operation that’s still “435x less” is just under the CO2 footprint of a passenger on a transatlantic flight. That’s not insignificant at all.

The fact is that more industries are trying to get their hands on this tech, and they won’t go about self-regulating the types of energy-intensive operations they use if they think there’s profit at the end of it.

They would be hurting other people if they used their drugs in public though, where you aren't. I also don't agree that people have no free will and can't be held responsible for their actions.

I'm honestly confused at your response. I am talking about people smoking outdoors in a designated smoking area and you keep talking about ventilation and filtering mechanism and rooms full of smokers. are we having the same conversation?

> Do you really want rooms full of people smoking crack everywhere?

I don't think anyone should smoke anything in public indoor spaces. it's unfair to people who have to breathe it. outside, at a designated smoking area? smoke whatever you want. I won't be inhaling it.

> Also, crack makes people kinda crazy, no?

maybe it does, maybe it doesn't. if they start acting aggressive, we already have laws against that.

I've now seen this debate play out many times over the years. people talk about health concerns, litter, violence, and all kinds of things like that. but it's already illegal to litter and it's already illegal to threaten people. if it's not already, it should be illegal to leave dirty needles around. but I think these are all just ways to avoid saying what people really mean: they just want drug users banished from their sight so they don't have to think about it.

Check the spec[0] -- Google isn't getting rid of the ability for users to grant full URL access for extensions, because of course they're not. That permission is absolutely necessary for a wide variety of extensions, including ad blockers. They're just implementing changes to how that permission is going to be granted.

With respect, a lot of us have been following these changes for a long time. We know about the permission stuff already. And to be clear, the permission changes are good -- they're just not going to significantly change normal user behavior in most cases.

> It turns out there was more to it than you thought.

It turns out that a Google advocate on Twitter posted, "we can't do it the other way" with no explanation of why it would be a problem. Again, this exactly is how Google gaslights. They refuse to engage with the wider developer community, ignore proposals and objections, and then when the wider community finally gets mad enough to start complaining in mainstream channels, they start posting on Twitter and blogs that "actually, it's complicated."

If developers don't have the full picture, give it to them. The Chrome team can't complain that developers aren't informed about the technical limitations they're facing when they're posting arcane updates to Twitter instead of the official threads that everyone is following.

This is a timely post. I just set up NextCloud myself, to sync my external HDD to my own managed cloud storage service. I've got NextCloud running on a VPS, and linked to a series of storage buckets on Wasabi.

Sometimes all I want is a quick and easy replication of local data to an off site storage facility, and also an easy way to share links with third parties who need access to certain stuff. I am getting tired of storage providers who started off by doing these two things really well, but then decided they wanted to add a ton of bells and whistles that are really of no value to me as a user.

(To be fair, I think Box.Net is the only cloud storage provider I've used over the past decade that still retains their original premise).
