Ask HN: Tools/Workflows for programming with little screen estate
Hi,

this might be somewhat of an odd question, but anyway:

I might soon move into a small studio apartment with just enough space for either a desk or a small dining table. Personally, I'm leaning towards the latter (I'd like to be able to invite friends over every now and then, and also enjoy the idea of having a space to come home to that doesn't look like another improvised office). The implication would be to downsize from my current setup (27 inch monitor, keyboard, mouse) to essentially a 13 inch rMBP.

This made me wonder: How would you go about being effective with such a setup? Can you recommend any tools/workflows/vim plugins for coding on a 13 inch screen only?

Thanks!
Crypto does have inherent value and that is the ledger. The ledger makes sure that the coins that are with you, are replicated on thousands of nodes across the world without a decentralized entity.

A dollar for example just represents itself. You can't easily find out how many dollars actually exist, have been traded or how many dollars will there be.

A crypto, on the other hand, is completely transparent. The ledger contains the history of all transactions which can be verified. Also cryptos are produced in a completely deterministic way.
People do not go vegan because they do not like the taste of meat. Veganism is a way of living which seeks to exclude, as far as is possible and practicable, all forms of exploitation of, and cruelty to, animals for food, clothing or any other purpose.

Some people miss the taste of meat and the dishes prepared from it; that's why they buy meat substitutes.
Bumble's rule is that Men are not even allowed to initiate contact. This is gender-based. Given everything else happening in the world around gender discrimination, I find it interesting that a discussion around Bumble's practises has not come up. Maybe it's because as humans we are not always internally consistent with how we apply our logic to the world.

I don't think that's a great analogy.

There are plenty of medical conditions where there are several options for how to manage it. With insurance, people usually choose based on risk of failure or complications, recovery time, etc. Without insurance, someone might choose primarily based on price, and a poor person might go for the cheapest option. For some non-life-threatening issues, a poor person might refuse treatment if the cost for even the most minimal intervention is too high.

This is obviously not what we want -- ideally, we want some reasonably-high minimum level of care so people don't have to choose between, say, starvation and permanent disfigurement -- so, as the parent says, we don't want health care to be exactly like a grocery store, but this kind of thing would be more like a free market for health care.

(And even in your example, you still have to buy and eat that ramen. Sure, you don't have to pay for steak, but you have to buy something. You can't just walk away from the transaction entirely.)

> that self control is the issue

Self control is always an issue and in general we all have periods of low productivity. If you feel like you can't produce anything useful today due to emotional distractions or general slack you can take the rest of the day off.

> What I suspect would happen that for a short time you would see no changes but little by little productivity would wane until someone would need to step in and set the system back in to a productive system again.

What if "management" system wouldn't introduce real productivity gain for creative workers and all we have is visual productivity and just low productivity all the time on average? I'm wondering will the productivity boost happen if we eliminate any form of psychologic pressure?

Why productivity will wane if you allowed to work on anything you want? You work in a small team and can pair-programm and just talk weekly to your colleagues on calls if you feel like you need to discuss something.

As I see it, there are two solutions. Either all medical costs are "free" for the consumer and paid for via a tax, or you have a proper insurance system where consumers participate in a transparent market for non-urgent medical care and buy insurance only for things they can't afford. The latter needs some extra regulations for emergency care where you can't compare prices.
> Due to the imbalance and fake accounts, as a male you rarely get response on messages.

That may have an effect, but it is also that women tend to go for the "top" guys while men in general have an more even spread on what they like. This is a more likely scenario.

If you are male and not an alpha male that is very good looking and / or successful, it is unlikely that you will have a good experience on dating apps.

There's both historical and insurance-business (underwriting) reasons.

The history: wage-price controls implemented during WWII as labour was taken up by the military and companies had to find some basis other than pay on which to differentiate. Benefits, including health care, were excluded from wage consideration.

Insurance itself is the business of assessing, managing, and sharing (or "pooling") risk. In the case of health care, the typical costs that a given population will face are predictable based on age, gender, and various exposures. Given a sufficiently large number of people, a group or policy cost can be assessed. Along with other groups, this results in pooled risk.

I'm not an actuary, but "large pool" risk is fairly low, I suspect it's on the order of 30 or so people. Smaller pools can be formed (or more likely: aggregated to form larger ones), down to a small number of members, as few as a handful or so.

The idea being that in any given pool, what's called "adverse selection" (people specifically looking for insurance due to high risks) are less likely -- you're dealing with the average population.

In individual markets, all of this becomes much less predictable, and/or the transaction and administrative costs of individual insurance simply add up.

Since a large share of the population works, or lives in a household with someone who does, allocating healthcare group insurance through employment has more-or-less stuck in the US.

The fact that it provides yet more leverage and control by employers over employees is another factor, of course.

My understanding is that things were incredibly homogeneous until the time in which baryonic acoustic waves started creating compressed and expanded areas. If there were black holes in that homogeneous soup, when things were so dense, it seems like everything would turn into a black hole or get sucked it.

Assuming light going into a black hole adds to its mass?

But assuming some light and matter didn't get sucked in and that's what remains, then I can understand why black holes are proposed as a possible answer to the mystery of dark matter.

There is a fundamental difference between Google and Cloudflare. Cloudflare has a real business that is based on paying customers. Google never had that. It was founded in 1998 and AdWords was introduced in 2000. Cloudflare is already 10 years old and not showing any sign that it will change its business model. As far as I am concerned, they are a trusted vendor and I will trust them with my business unless they change up.

Great comment. I’ll agree and add that the pool of people working full-time itself serves as a beneficial selection process for the insurance pool. It includes (expensive) births but excludes a lot of expensive debilitating conditions so long as that condition precludes someone working full-time.

Bad example, ever try fixing your own car and wondering why they made it so hard to access some parts? And then you try to replace some bit and break some smaller bit, like a plastic clip or something. And you can't buy the smaller bit anywhere. Most cars are built for ease of assembly, not ease of repair for example.

I don't get this either. If I have a cold, I just take acetaminophen a couple times a day to suppress the symptoms until it goes away. Sure, if you're elderly or have an autoimmune deficiency, you may want to see a doc for everything, but that's not that common.

(Amusingly, I was in London a few years ago and came down with a cold. One of my local colleagues told me about this amazing thing called paracetamol that was just magic and would make me feel better. I was astounded that we didn't have it back home in the US... until I looked it up and realized it's just acetaminophen under a different name.)
If you are not embarrassed by your estimate it’s probably too low :-)
Actually it's worse. The Apple "environment cards" estimate only 5% of CO2 equivalent going to use of the device but that's optimistic.

According to this report, about half of the CO2 footprint of devices comes from usage - mobile data, streaming.

>>The energy consumption of digital technologies is increasing by 9% a year, and already represents% of global greenhouse gas emissions. The use of digital technology accounts for 55% of its energy consumption, compared to 45% for the production of equipment.
>>We live in a world where only one form of digital use, online video, generates 60% of of world data flows and thus over 300 million tons of CO2 per year. This use is far from being “dematerialized”. On the contrary, it represents 20% of the greenhouse gas emissions of all digital devices (use and production included), and 1% of global emissions, i.e. as much as Spain.

I don't understand the inconsistency, are you saying that Bumble discriminates against men somehow? The issue for the people I've talked to is the underlying asymmetry in dating that leads to Bumble, not Bumble itself.

Edit: essentially I don't understand how men are getting hurt by Bumble, I know a lot of people that prefer it to something like Tinder so maybe that skews my perspective.
Joins don't scale to more than one relation.

Modify the original sample to load two relations: fetch all events with their first 5 categories and all their users.
If you use two joins then you get a combinatorial explosion because you are now getting all permutations of the (event, category, user) tuple.

(event1, category1, user1)
(event1, category1, user2)
(event1, category2, user1)
(event1, category2, user2)

The thing I find blows out estimates more is complexity in the codebase.

Typescript can be learned to a sufficient level that it has zero drag and saves you time when you need to refactor or understand someone else’s code.

Webpack is a pain to learn but like git you learn it once and benefit again and again.

But codebase complexity can knock estimates for 6. Someone’s crappy spaghetti design can below those assumptions in an estimate by an order of magnitude.
And it could be a detail buried somewhere that wasn’t easy to discover. Like finding asbestos in your ceiling as you are about to remodel your house. Except a lot harder to explain to management!

For me psilocybin has helped to break some bad habits because it seems to reset my brain to a more "untainted" state. During the next few days after using it (the "afterglow"), I feel like I have more conscious control over my life and what activities I decide to engage in, instead of just acting subconsciously and impulsively while feeling helpless about the whole situation. However, I have found out that if I don't use this short window of opportunity to change my environment, the same bad habits will return and get a hold of me in no time.
The advantage here is that they sell phones.

It is very difficult to install Lineage OS, as it is completely unclear which phone one should buy to install it. There isn't a single viable answer online for the question:
"Which phone should I buy for Lineage OS".
I am dead serious!

The support is up to individuals able to produce ROMs, so for example a Galaxy A5 is supported, while A6 and A7 used to be, but are no longer (!) supported. So if you bought an A7 for Lineage OS, you are out of luck now.

Of course it is also difficult to install Lineage OS itself. For most of us, it is probably at least possible. But there is no chance rest of the 95% of the world will ever do this. Indeed, I would also feel at least anxious to attempt it (alas, for my current phone no Lineage OS is available).

So this is great. You can buy a Samsung phone and get it preinstalled with a good distro. I am not aware this is possible otherwise, let alone for less than 300 euro.

Everyone who doesn't understand why this is better than "just install Lineage OS with microG" has some serious disconnect going on.

I am fairly incompetent with computers, but I don't think I could fork my own Lineage OS for my phone of choice. Therefore, having something preinstalled and actually supported is a serious selling point for me!

Edit: Additionally, they will offer a service for you to send in your phone to flash it.
