Same phone, unfortunately missed out on the $69 battery replacement from Apple. I've not once experienced an issue with performance and the physical construction of the device is great (all aluminum body, no glass back-plate). Battery life is fine, still get all-day battery life with moderate usage. I hope Apple continues to develop products with a reasonable lifespan, but judging by their current gen Laptops, I'm not holding my breath.
If you're in the upper 5% or so that owns equities and options and special perks like 529 plans then you've been doing great over the past 10 years.

Since this is Hacker News, I'll point out a way that this applies to programming: code standards and reviews. Time after time throughout my career, I've seen the most picky, idiosyncratic programmers impose their will on the rest of the project by their simple willingness to block commits until their whims are satisfied. Since review etiquette usually precludes a third person overriding another's pending objections to approve, the impasse is usually resolved by acceding to the bikeshedder's preference in the name of progress.

Sometimes this enforcement of the most restrictive standard is a good thing, forcing people to write code that's safer, more testable, more portable, etc. More often IMX, it's just enforcing arbitrary choices and rewarding poor collaborative behavior in the process.

In praise of developers who delete code
Note sure if this is the best solution. But works so far for me: ELK + Redis + Curator. Everything in a docker contrainer. Single Machine Setup. Curator deletes old logs. Redis is responsible for caching. Logs are put directly to redis.
I think one of the most important metrics:

Performance
4 Core Machine with 32Gb Ram
about 3000 logs per second. 70% CPU usage and 80% SSD Usage-
Quite happy with the setup, since the SSD can be upgraded to a faster one. Also a more powerfull machine could handle about 10000 logs per second.
Would love to hear other number from Splunk or similar solutions.

Costs: Nearly zero. Some time to setup and bring redis + curator into play.
Other pointed out to costs, but I think the issue here might be substitution.

An "organic" apple is a substitute for "GMO" apple; in fact, it's so good a substitute most people from the indifferent majority wouldn't be able to tell organic from regular apart if not for the label. There's plenty of types of products where removing gluten also doesn't affect taste too much. In these cases letting the minority impose their desires is essentially free.

Vegetables are no substitute for meat. If you like meat, if you crave meat, you won't accept a tofu replacement. This makes it more difficult for vegetarianism achieve total domination. However, the effect still manifests itself clearly. Where I live, 15 years ago, vegetarianism was this weird thing from movies that nobody otherwise thought about. Today, every restaurant I can find has vegetarian options available and marked in the card, and whenever friends or I organize a get-together, the number one question is always "do we need a vegetarian menu?".
> Personally, I feel the solution to insufficient teacher time is to use peer grading much more, and spot checks. Get kids to read and revise each other's works frequently, and teachers should aim to grade at least N papers per student where N is much less than the number of papers a student writes.

That's how it's done in creative writing courses. I've always found it infinitely more helpful than only having feedback from the instructor, even if the instructor's feedback was generally more helpful/useful than peer feedback.
There is a simple economic solution. Make the caller instead of the receiver pay for all calls.

Historically the media has been prone to hysterics, even to the point of cherry-picking stories just to build up the feeling of everything pointing in the same direction. The media sometimes also reports the news. The fact that it's a toss-up about whether or not the media is full of it this time is another contributing factor to the whole "the stock market is random" theory.

A riskless return above inflation is infinitely valuable, because you can create unlimited amounts of new money by taking out loans in order to exploit it. So, unless someone is out there making infinite money, nobody is sure about the pending recession.
Apparently pupils don't adjust terribly quickly:

"Briefly, it was found that when light is flashed on a normal eye that is accommodated for the dark, there occurs a latent period of 0.1875 second before the pupil begins to contract. Then there follows a rapid primary contraction for 0.4365 second at the rate of 5.48 mm. per second. This is succeeded by a secondary contraction of 0.3125 second at the slower rate of 1.34 mm. per second"

Great. So additionally to wasting CPU and memory Slack is now also wasting more network bandwidth than before.

It doesn't seem to be a gas, so applying pressure would be as easy as tightening the enclosure, like fastening a bolt. Cables could be made by just sticking a superconducting core inside a compression sleeve, although they'd probably have to be segmented, and breaking the sleeve in any place could make the core stop superconducting and overheat pretty fast. Other than that, it should be perfectly safe.

I don't think it's fair to say Rust is still a research language any more than it's fair to see the ongoing evolution of C++ makes it a research language. Rust is being used to engineer production software (parts of Firefox, Tor and Microsoft Azure), and its development is aimed mostly at practical and ergonomic issues, rather than experimental or esoteric features.

I agree that there's a cost to introducing a new language to a codebase. On the other hand, there's a cost to being stuck with only C, which manifests as security vulnerabilities and high cognitive overhead for want of better abstractions. I believe the Linux maintainers are taking a sensible and conservative stance here in allowing use of Rust, but not allowing Linux to depend on it.
At that pressure, any crack in the containment would have a blast radius. Even before the subsequent thermobaric explosion.

Professor Perelman had also previously demonstrated that this sort of scoring was going on when essays were scored by humans [1].

I suspect that, in addition to the scoring rules being written for speed and frugality, they were shaped by a poorly thought out attempt to make the scoring 'objective', and independent of the scorer's beliefs, attitudes and unconscious biases.

In one sense, this software (I will not call it 'AI') is an extension of all those bad ideas, only greatly amplified in a way that only software can.

In evolutionary biology, there is the concept of 'honest signalling'[2], a true and unfakable indicator, to a potential mate or predator, of an animal's fitness. That is what we are missing here.

When everyone says recession it’s most likely baloney. Events like 2008 and 1929 and 1987 come out of nowhere as a surprise, not as a warning news announcement on MSNBC (seriously just inverse everything they say )
Since the economy behaves cyclic for unknown reasons, recessions should be viewed analogous to bad weather. An inevitable phenomenon that reoccurs regularly.
I would never buy an A4 as they do seem cheap. An A6 is a very different car to drive. Wife had one the other day as a loan car.

The last Ford I owned was about 16 years ago so I don't know what they're like these days. Swapped it for a Honda Jazz/Fit and more recently I have a Golf. The build quality of the VW was a big step up from the Honda. Simply felt more solid and sturdy. Both have been reliable.
This is a good question and one that should be applied to the OPs comment that kicked off this thread.

People’s sense of security has dropped. They are aware of automation reducing their competitiveness, aware that most of the gains are going to a few select regions of the country, and more and more business is in the hands of fewer and fewer larger entities.

The numbers look good in an aggregate sense, but most individuals have less power than before.

I'm not sure why this article targets US Steel in particular. Plenty of companies in Michigan have been issuing WARN notices [1]. There's a handful related to manufacturing [US Steel, Venchurs Inc (which was completely shut down), Lear Corporation]. But there's plenty of other industries in this list: from white collar jobs to retail jobs.

I'm curious to see if the number of WARN notices being issued by state, and the number of positions impacted in each notice, is different / higher than it has been in previous years. That's what is missing from this article: how do these layoffs compare against prior years?

There is no rationale to ruthlessly default. It only makes sense if you cannot pay your student loans back, which is the entire purpose of bankruptcy. If the bank lends money to people that can't pay the student loan back then it's the bank's problem.

Bankruptcy isn't a free get out of jail card. You're not going to find many people who study a very expensive degree like medicine only to then work at McDonalds for 7 years so they can avoid paying the full sum back.
It's actually the reverse that happened. Windows was the "intolerant" option by the virtue of games almost universally being Windows-only. Only recently, as an increasing number of games is being released cross-platform, there's an uptick in Linux use on personal desktops/laptops.

In the phenomenon described by the article, "minority" is the part that piques interest, but it's the "intolerant" aspect that's doing the real work.
Reminds me of the plot of one of the episodes of Firefly.

The crew discovers (via underground connections) that a food production facility has very lax security. In this universe, the vacuum-sealed nutrient packs require authenticity much like bars of gold.

Now, they could break in, steal a few pallets and sell it on the black market - but obviously, the theft would be noticed, and the serial numbers could be noted down as contraband etc..

What they actually do is convince the night shift that they are not needed, and convince the afternoon shift that the protagonists are actually the night crew. They then produce the nutrient packs themselves and simply walk out with them.

Since the night crew never showed up, there is no mismatch with their records, since they obviously didn't produce anything.
Replied as an edit. To be honest though I suspect most people don't bother debating Brexit anymore because there was a referendum on the topic in 2016

I would say that there are definitely similarities between Lunch Money and the envelope system, but the main differentiator lies in the execution and psychology behind it.

The envelope system is pretty strict and while there are some good points about it such as encouraging discipline and planning, Lunch Money way is more about course correction. Instead of focusing on setting the amount of money in your envelope for this month and cutting yourself off when you've depleted it, go through a mental exercise of predicting how much you'll be spending. Then, reassess how you did and adjust accordingly for the next budget period. The overarching goal is to get better at predicting your spending next month, rather than constraining yourself to adhere to your budget this month and I hope the tools we offer, such as the average, help to facilitate this.

Are you sure? I had a look into edk2 and cannot find NTFS driver there. I can see the FAT one.

The NTFS support depends on device. From devices that I have around, Intel NUCs do support it, Asrock X399 board does not.

I have yet to see the Windows installer to create NTFS-based ESP partition. If manufacturer does that for specific device (where it is guaranteed, that it will support NTFS), that's different thing.
This seems like a very odd standard to use? I understand that you wanted to compare performances of different languages, that's great.

But if you actually wanted to get the job done idiomatically, the code is one short, simple line of Perl 6. The performance, while admittedly slower, is within the same order of magnitude as your Perl 5 version.

To me, this is the magic of Perl 6. Sure, if you want to use 16 lines of loopy integer-crunching code to calculate the first N primes and you care about speed, Perl 6 should not be your choice. On the other hand, if you'd prefer to say

(1..$N).grep(*.is-prime)

and get the answer back in reasonable speed, Perl 6 is perfect.

> The cost of an automobile is an even smaller fraction of an average person's disposable income than it was during Henry Ford's day.

I seriously doubt that... at $50,000+ for a new pickup, and $35,000+ for a new car? And used vehicles are still quite expensive as well (unless you buy an absolute pile of junk).

Financing terms keep stretching longer to keep the appearance of an affordable monthly payment, but many Americans have become wary of the overall cost of a vehicle, which is by no means low today.
The minority tyranny described in the article reminds me of the hidden power of the owner of any system. For example, a large technology company may own and operate a repository benevolently and graciously, but it always retains the power to make exceptions. So there may be an ecosystem of smaller businesses that grow up on that platform but if any of them interfere with the broader interests of the platform owner, the rules may change (subtly or not), in a unique action to save the owner's interest. This is an attribute of most platforms tools, currencies and systems, and I think is an important if unexamined feature of them.

If you want better public transit that optimizes to serve only profitable routes, privatize it and "let the market go nuts".

I'm generally nearly fanatically free market, but there are elements of mass transit that need to serve unprofitable routes, just like the USPS, legacy POTS telephone, and electric company [all of which have significant government restrictions that ensure they serve unprofitable areas].

Show HN: Pod Hunt – The best new podcasts daily
An older guy from the rave scene once taught me this without explaining the process at all.

When we'd be out and loud music was playing and somebody couldn't hear what he was saying to them, he'd lean in, speak more softly and place a finger lightly on the front part of their ear (so as to not put his finger in their ear).

He was always much easier to understand one he had done that, and we all picked up the habit. We weren't sure if the finger acted as a conductor, or what the explanation was, but reducing the dynamic range seems like a really good explanation.

Bad news is good news, there's no conspiracy there to push a narrative that everything is going to hell. It's what sells.

At some point the people realize that, whatever you say, the chocolate rations have been reduced.

Ask HN: Finding a Technical Co-Founder
Hey, I'm Andrei, technical co-founder of Scrumbs and boardme.

Links:

https://www.boardme.app - Under development

https://www.scrumbs.app - Alpha launched a couple weeks ago

I was wondering where is the best place to search for technical co-founders. I'm fiddling with the idea of bringing somebody in for boardme.

Our small team is composed of 3 members: Ildiko (UI/UX), Bryan (Marketing) and I (Dev).

We started out with 4 members in January, we had a font-end guy, but he deserted a couple weeks in. Which needless to say made the past 7 months of my life a bit tricky.

Did you have any luck with finding technical co-founders? If so, where and how?
I partly agree with you but you're probably over-engineering it. They talk about "GoLife booking notifications" and "promotional notifications". Neither of these require (edit: I mean sound like they require) once-only semantics. If you're OK with very rarely failing over then restarting from scratch on the failover machine is ok. Even if not, pushing batched IDs ("I've done IDs xyz..) over a network to the failover machine would remove most of that. I don't think it needs ACID semantics.

> Then you have hardware failure, at this scale

It's really, really, not scale!

> Lastly, 21 million clock cycles might sound like a lot, and might go a long way with C/C++/Rust, but as you move up to more dynamic languages that will reduce significantly

Then you're prob using the wrong lang.

I don't really accept that level of engineering is necessary all round, unless the business case requires it, and then I'd speak to whoever put those business requirements together and ask hard questions.
