I had tried this for over 2 months in my Moto G(2014) (my secondary phone). The experience was good as I only needed the phone for text and call. But, battery life was bad as compared to say lineage or other ROMs.

Happy to see, it's still in development. Might give another try if it's getting developed for titan.
The first rule of HN moderation is to moderate less, not more, when YC startups are at issue:

https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=false&qu...

That doesn't mean we don't moderate at all, just less. For example, in this case, the repost was obviously a dupe by a large margin, so we marked it as a dupe. But when people complained about that, we were more likely to bend the rules because Gitlab is a YC startup. If it were an unrelated company, we would have been more likely to say something like "look you guys, this is standard practice and it's not a borderline call" and left the repost marked as a duplicate.
The "Start" button was never really about starting things in the first place. After all, clicking "Start" was the first step to shutting down your computer! Perfectly intuitive...

Now it doesn't even say "Start" on it, and yet they persist in calling it the "Start menu".

Man, you're not kidding. Granted, I live in what I imagine is the wealthiest city in the state, so there's constant new construction, roads, and just a general sense of vitality, but one doesn't have to venture far at all to see exactly what you're describing.
The current interpretation says there are certain reasonable restrictions on the 1st for the public safety. Compelled speech isn't accepted as constitutional.

Remember the constitution only really, effectively, says whatever the current Supreme Court says it means. And really I don't think anyone want's the 100% literal 'shall make no law' interpretation of free speech; that would throw out any kind of labeling laws for starters, companies would have no government compulsion to accurately label drugs or food products for example.

I'm bullish on Electron. I think it's just a couple of technical advancements away from being the ultimate desktop toolkit.

For context, I love and have worked a ton with Qt, and I much prefer Qt UIs as a user. But Electron has brought true cross-platform development to all platforms (Including Linux!). If it weren't for Electron, I wouldn't even have a bunch of the apps I use today. Hell, I wouldn't have a good IDE, and I don't think I'd be as good in Typescript had I not been a day-1 VS Code user.

I think the main thing preventing it from "feeling" good to most users is the most common complaint on HN about how each individual app is its own version of Chrome. This sucks; it's heavy, it's laggy, and users feel it even instinctively.

OSes and frameworks have tried to solve this a bazillion ways. Edge WebView, Android WebView, Qt WebView, QtWebkit, whatever the iexplore stuff was in XP, …. Electron might have the opportunity to actually solve this.

If it does, honestly, to hell with anything else. I'm sure over time the web world will gravitate towards a fairly common set of widgets that will, at one point or another be standardized. We'll reinvent UI frameworks under a different name, except this time they'll be running under the ultimate cross-platform framework.
> "Separate instances of chrome for every app is dumb and consumes too much memory"

That one is true though. Different Electron apps could at least share the runtime.
Is there ongoing work to reduce the memory footprint of Electron apps? I'm genuinely curious.
Only second one is a really valid point;
Multiple hour coding assessments will work for people who are motivated for a new job. But every company wants "passive" candidates that are already working somewhere. If they're already (moderately) happy somewhere, they're not going to spend 3+ hours on your pre-process.

I mean anyone that tells me they're 100% certain of anything outside of basic facts, the BS meter starts going off, so that feels like a bit of a trap. It's a total game changer, but I'm 3 years in, and would not change it. I'm way more certain of having kids now than I was 5 minutes after finding out we were having kids, that's for sure.

It does change you, and it is a lot of work. But it's been the most contextualizing experience of my life. I don't want my old life back, even though I was very happy with it. A lot of things that I was happy with were relatively meaningless in a big-picture sort of way. I'm not partying on the weekend? Oh, well, thank god, I should have had kids earlier!

This paper doesn't seem to go through the different types. But yea, should give you a start.

I swear I'm looking for a paper done by Michigan State. But I can't find it. I'll update if I find it.
Hypothetical: Item costs $100.

Stripe's fee is $3.20 (2.9% plus $0.30).

The question is how much of that is gross revenue?
Many take the position that the portion that Stripe pays to Visa/MC is not gross revenue to Stripe because it was never their revenue; they were just collecting money the merchant would have owed to Visa/MC. If so, then Stripe's gross revenue is only the $1 they have left after paying Visa/MC on the merchant's behalf.

But others take the position that the entire $3.20 is gross revenue to Stripe, and that the amount they pay to Visa/MC is a COSS of that revenue.

If Stripe pays Visa/MC less for that $100 transaction than the merchant would if Stripe weren't involved, than it's clear that the $3.20 is gross revenue to stripe and the Visa/MC fee is a COSS. But if Stripe would owe Visa/MC the same as the merchant would, then arguably the Visa/MC was never revenue to them in the first place. It comes down to the terms of the contract--is Stripe merely forwarding on the merchant's Visa/MC fee or is it assuming that liability on behalf of the merchant?

When it was growing, Stripe took the position that the entire $3.20 was gross revenue, because it made them look good. (See also, Groupon, Uber.) Now that they're a very big company though, it makes them look too good for tax purposes, even if the financial reality is very different. But having chosen their accounting method, they're stuck with it.
Web text fields should also support that functionality, so it may be a question of GitHub breaking/disabling it in some way.
OP wondered if his question might be stupid. I merely obliged him with an answer.
People in tech used to accept being relocated as part of the job. From what I read on HN, that doesn't seem to be the case anymore.

Judging from the discussion in [1], the "going down this road" already started to happen about half a year ago.
Please notice how everyone in conversation seems to implicitly understand that their customers won't like the new forced telemetry, but still pushing on this, "for customers' own good" (with the only possible exception being made for public sector customers).

It isn't about them being better in the sense of faster than a classical computer, but rather scaling. Quantum computing is attractive because we expect that some operations scale much better with size on one compared to classical computing. ie if for a task the quantum algorithm is O(n) while the classical version is O(n!)

Someone's going to have to explain to me how Gitlab is doing something shady with this stuff.

Unless I'm misreading all this, it all looks like very standard telemetry, the same kind Github is doing.
If you mean individual Electron apps.. wouldn't this require reducing the memory footprint of Chromium, not Electron?

It seems many users hope to eventually see the ability to run multiple Electron apps on a single instance of Chromium.
Hello - what we currently collect is here - https://about.gitlab.com/handbook/product/feature-instrument... and we of course will update that in the future to reflect the details of any telemetry we use - however as noted the team is circling back to evaluate all the feedback and concerns before considering how to improve our existing telemetry (which was the goal).
1. The weather in San Francisco is nice (so you won't freeze to death).

2. The laws are friendlier towards homeless people.

3. San Francisco is liberal, so the people will be friendlier on average to the homeless.

4. America's public transport systems are terrible, but you can go quite a distance on BART and the city buses and it's easy enough to ride for free.

5. If you're stuck begging in order to live, better to beg from rich people.

If you're homeless in America, it doesn't get much better than this.
Agreed. We need a cross-OS definition of "web views" and a standard way to say, "use my default browser for all web views, including Electron".
> Is there ongoing work to reduce the memory footprint of Electron apps? I'm genuinely curious.

Isn't Electron basically Chrome, so the ball be in Chrome's court on that?

That said, I really think that web development in general, including Electron needs a reboot. From my perspective as a user, everything seems to be full of bloat and memory leaks. Maybe some kind of redacted version of Javascript that's harder to screw up? If worse is better, lets at least try to refactor the worse crap we adopted to actually make it better.
The people complaining are not the customers, they're the product. Electron isn't sold to the users running Slack and Spotify and Atom, it's sold to the developers of those things with the promise of a low-friction path for existing web devs to deploy a native-ish application on multiple platforms.
Mind you, I don’t advocate for struct embedding, but it doesn’t force you into a type contract. The outer struct retains its type—it is not a subtype of the nested type so it can’t be used in places that take the inner type.

Literally all it does is automatically create methods on the outer struct that delegate to the anonymous member.

Unlike inheritance, there is no fragile base class problem and methods on the inner anonymous member can’t dispatch to methods on the outer struct. Also, the “parent” member is just another field in your struct. You can modify it or replace it at runtime, unlike the parent in OOP languages.

Because the cost of the software is trivial compared to the cost of incompatibility or friction in communication.
Tangentially related, our customer care department can't spell check support responses in context, because the Zendesk platform seems to use a non-native widget. It is frustrating when web developers and frameworks break standard functionality that is built into browsers, like the back button.
I'd rather see SwiftUI or something like it ported to other systems with a "driver" that translates it to each platform's 100% native UI.

It's already amazing in how it abstracts common elements for such distinct environments like desktop, phone, TV and watch while still exposing OS-specific features. Why not other operating systems?
Pump the brakes? No. Reverse course, before your product ends up in the same place as github.
My apologies dang, I didn't mean to directly insinuate that this was happening, just that it could lead credence to those rumors.

Thanks for taking care of the situation, and for further demonstrating what top notch moderation should look like

edit: Thank you for explaining the policy! I think it's excellent.
I imagine the different electron versions and different Chrome versions would make this hard without breaking things. Maybe a config option for "allow chromium between versions x and y" would solve this.
We've rolled back the ToS update and had not implemented telemetry yet, we're reconsidering our plan based on the feedback. More info and further discussion can be found here: https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/growth/product/issues/164
I am curious: Does the Github Desktop client work with other git hosting platforms? From a quick look at its website, this appears to be left open.
Huh. Not OP, but if the view is constant, I would be very pissed off. If I walk naked out my front door right now, chances are low anyone will see me (quiet neighborhood, it's past midnight), but if OP does it, boom, there s/he is on camera.

And the camera owner can extrapolate when OP/their family members are home or not, when people visit, etc, etc. Could that not be considered surveillance?
It really wouldn't. WebAssembly has nothing to do with the rendering engine, which is the bulk of Electron's footprint (and also the bulk of its apps' processing overhead). The latter can only be improved by Chromium devs (and is being improved constantly). The former requires that we come up with a way to share a single Chromium copy across apps. There's really no other way around it.
I would add that Cirrhosis isn't just alcohol. Another major contributor is sugar and complex carbs. There are about 87 million Americans that meet the criteria for Metabolic Syndrome and that is directly related and getting worse with time.

Here's the article: https://www.pnas.org/content/112/4/1232

Those numbers aren't errors--they're standard deviations. The error would be sqrt(N=12), or about 3.5x, smaller, so 3 and 6 minutes, respectively. They also aren't particularly easy to interpret here because it's a crossover design, so the relevant quantity is the change in each subject's sleep onset (or whatever), which is captured by the mixed-effects model, but not the summary statistic.

That said, there are some weird things with the setting: four hours is a lot of reading, and the subjects lived in a fairly dim environment (90 lux) throughout the experiment. Some data (e.g., Chang et al., 2011: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3060589/) shows that the range of exposure matters, so this effect might be minuscule in real life, where the noontime sun exposes people to thousands of lux.
The "How does Passbox work?" isn't clear to me. Is it encrypted at rest? Who has the password (or passwords), and is it just one secret key to unlock everything? Do my Trusted friends have to remember how to access Passbox, and a Passbox password? Am I notified if they do? How many of them do I need to select, and what if they die before I do, or move out of my life, or otherwise cease to be Trusted?

This all feels like it's trying to apply the web-SAAS model to a domain where it really doesn't fit.

I'd rather have a simple system where I could take any data, easily encrypt it on the client-side, and put it somewhere that's going to stay around for a long time (S3? thumb drive?). Then I give my lawyer the password and instructions on how to use it, on a sheet of paper. At any point, I can upload new data, replacing the old data. Digital security isn't as important because it's always encrypted before it leaves my desk. I don't need to maintain Trusted Friends because the only person with the password is my lawyer, who keeps it with my will.

Dealing with my possessions after my death is a solved problem. It's possible to simplify parts of it, but we shouldn't try to replace it entirely with another model that discards the good parts of what we have.
What may be interesting, as well, is that the earlier Datapoint 3300 terminal (announced in 1967, shipped 1959) already featured a 25 lines display, but at 72 characters per line, just like the ASR 33 it was meant to replace. There seems to be no hard evidence on how CTC arrived at 25 lines per screen, though.

Regarding the Datapoint 2260, there's prior art in form of the IBM 2260 Model 3 terminal (1964), featuring 80 characters in 12 rows as well, in direct correspondence to a punched card. (The Model 1 displayed 40 characters at 6 lines, while the Model 2 managed 40 characters at 12 lines, with only the top model of the family featuring this relation to punchcards, though. Bonus fact: the 2260s used a portrait raster tube turned on its side, resulting in vertical scan lines.)
According to my, possibly incorrect, take on the situation this does not really make that much sense.

As I understand it, like GitHub, GitLab offers relatively permissive free plans to individuals and projects in their early stages. Both also offer pathways to graduate to commercial plans that are also enterprise friendly.

It sounds like GitLab planned telemetry for the enterprise-managed plans (not the individual-managed plans). If GitLab was seen as an alternative to Microsoft-owned GitHub, the plans for telemetry undermined this reason for developers to start their projects with GitLab instead of GitHub and advocate its use to managers, investors, and legal departments.

If that is the situation, where does SourceHut stand? The site makes little sense to me. The URL is sourcehut.org, but there is no statement about it being a non-profit, or any discussion about a board that manages it. There is a pricing page, but no contact us page. I don't know where it is based, and I can't find a reference on Crunchbase to get any idea of who owns the company.

If it is a competitor to GitLab, maybe it is a competitor in the space for individual developers, but there wasn't a significant problem for individual developers when it comes to GitLab (or Github). If the problem with GitLab's announcement was that it made the upgrade path less enterprise friendly, how is SourceHub an improvement if by all appearances it is incompatible with any sane enterprise.
