I think there's an enormous market for <=~$100 wearables that are primarily positioned as health trackers. Among other things, many wellness programs partner with Fitbit as a device provider. The first mover advantage for Fitbit also carries over into their existing, very expansive, partner ecosystem. This "health tracker" market is far larger market than the one for fully functional smart watches with 1-2 day batteries.
That mostly matches my experience. I was following 386BSD's progress at that time and was really eager to try it for myself. However, the machines that it was targeting (SCSI disk of ~200MB, math coprocessor) were out of my reach. It made sense that a workstation-like OS was expecting workstation-class hardware, but it did rule out most 386 PCs that people actually owned.

However, I also agree with @wbl that the lawsuits were ultimately the decisive factor. The hardware requirements situation of BSD was a tractable problem; it just needed a flurry of helping hands to build drivers for the wide cacophony of PC hardware. The lawsuit-era stalled the project at just that critical point. By the time that FreeBSD was approaching an acceptable level of hardware support Linux already had opened up a lead... which it never gave up.
You may like AutoSleep. It gets darn close to feeling native.
FYI WireGuard is pretty slow on the Edgerouter compared to IPSec. I assume IPSec has a hardware offload and WireGuard does not.
Some 8 years or so ago I experimented with triggering mood changes using a meditative technique. I had long been doing 'centering' meditative exercises so that I could bring more focus and clarity to seated practice. I wanted something more practical that would affect my everyday life.

I eventually settled on two 'states'. A 'centered' state and a 'joyful' one. Any time I noticed myself outside of one of the two states, I performed the quick ritual to bring myself back to it.

After a few days of practice, I found myself shockingly good at performing quick, directed mood shifts, in any situation I found myself in. I settled into a routine that lasted a few weeks.

It didn't suck, I never 'overdosed'. It was every bit as cool as you can imagine it being.

However over time I lost the desire to keep it up. Eventually I realized that, in the end, being able to relate to others requires a certain amount of empathy, and being blissed-out all the time made it really difficult to do that.

It might get easier if everyone around me also could stay centered or joyful, but if I want deep fulfilling relationships with others, being able to feel what they feel and not what I want to feel is important.

This is ultimately what makes addiction so caustic to relationships IMO. Your mood stops moving and flexing with your social environs. It's a feedback loop that closes you off from those that sustain you and you lean heavier on the substance.

Very happy with mailgun. We had the same experience with sparkpost.

Our account (that we had been using for 6 months) was locked right after we paid a bit over $200 for October.

We filled a ticket and gave them all the info they requested. Eventually the reply was a template that didn't explain anything. They also refused to refund the remaining credits.

Here the nice rejection email:

Thank you for your interest in SparkPost. We strive to offer the very best email service, and to that end, we maintain a strict anti-abuse messaging policy.

Because we cannot offer you the high deliverability you would expect from SparkPost, we must decline to provide our services. We wish you the best in your future business endeavors.

Elon Musk says he’s ‘going offline’ after questioning Twitter
I can.

I had the USB-C connector on my Pixel 3XL fail. This failure is covered under warranty. I was in Asia at the time. I asked for a replacement, but they cannot ship internationally (even if I paid for it). So I had them ship it to my dad's place, he was going to be meeting me in Thailand.

Well, they shipped it to the wrong address, and by the time it was returned to sender and they sent my dad another one, he'd already left for Thailand.

When he returned home, he mailed the replacement phone back to Google.

When I returned from Asia, I requested another replacement. Well, my account had gotten into some state where they couldn't issue a replacement. I was escalated to a higher level of tech and told to wait. I waited. And waited. 2 months past. My account was finally "fixed" but by then I'd left for a 3 month trip to Europe.

I had them ship the replacement to my mom in Chicago. Then she mailed the replacement to me in Switzerland.

An incredible hassle all around, made far worse by their very low end customer support folks. Every interaction began with a 20 minute conversation about what had happened followed by them typically saying "you're escalated to a higher tier, there's nothing we can do."

Some of the pain above could be fixed by changing their international shipping policy. But my account being in some state where they couldn't issue a new phone to me for 2 months even when I was in the US was supremely frustrating and intolerable.

---

I've had another issue recently. I bought a Pixel 4XL. Google allows trade-ins of old phones, but at the time trading in a Pixel 3XL was not an option (they fully acknowledge this). So I called the next day and asked to add a trade in. Not possible. They suggested I return to sender the phone I bought to avoid the restocking fee (it was too late to cancel the order), and then place another order with a trade in. Well, that wasn't going to work because the phone was sold out.

LAME.
If they could take the output of a command to get the 'lockfile' type information, they should be able to get something working for Go as well. Presumably they have allowances for this sort of thing as to be 'Universal' would require that type of flexibility.
if you look at the trendline, it was 88.7% last month:

But if you can "manually install" an extension, why can't a third-party manipulate files on disk to reflect the same state of affairs as though you've manually installed?

And assuming that's possible, doesn't that mean they've just made side-loading more difficult to do than actually prevented it?

If that's the case, it just means that _you_ won't be able to sideload, effectively, but Skype et al will put in some programming time and be able to sideload again.

Correct me if I'm wrong!
I usually stay for about 2 years, and move on if the work becomes boring.
I wrote a comment similar to this, not wanting to spend time learning new details. Then I set up Wireguard once.

Setting up Wireguard is actually quicker than refreshing your memory with the OpenVPN man page.
I don't know if the Boeing's MQ-25 gets to use any of the guidance/navigation systems of Northrup's X-47B but I recall they had to program in some randomness to the plane's landing program because the X-47B was hitting the exact same spot on the deck on every single landing (which was causing concerns about deck maintenance and durability), unlike human pilots which sometimes miss all four wires. Makes me wonder if the form-factor of a carrier can be shrunk since drones can reliably hit much smaller landing spots reliably. Why invest in the massive size and expense of a super carrier when something much smaller can launch and recover fixed wing UAVs to handle ISR? After all, the revolution of aircraft carriers in WW2 was over-the-horizon visual location and attack of enemy shipping; we can do the latter quite easily with guided missiles and UAVs do the former quite nicely.
I put on an aluminum case for passive cooling and now it runs around 48 celsius as opposed to 70+ before. That should be good right?
Whoa. The only project I know of that allowed that is GRiSP. Is that what y'all are using? Or is this some even-more-exotic bare-metal Erlang implementation?

I consider Python 2.latest to be the same language as Python 1.5.2, which was the first I used. They are upward compatible, aside from very small and presumably unavoidable changes.

Python 3 is pretty similar, but nonetheless is very different, thinking of it as the same language will cause you grief. Modern advice is to use the 'python2' and 'python3' commands--never just 'python'.

I don't think I ever even set up wifi, but I'm going to follow another reply that suggested tools for testing the real speed that the rpi is getting.
The somewhat surprising main problem is not CPU load but the additional back-and-forth TLS requires to establish the handshakes. One of the main goals/draws of HTTPS/3 is eliminating these extra steps.
It's almost certainly not your problem. DKIM is a cryptographic signature of various parts of the email, which is very commonly broken in all sorts of legitimate ways by mailing lists. This has been a known failing of DKIM & DMARC for quite some time.

However the issue is fixed by the new ARC protocol though, which is supported by most major email providers & in most mailing list software as of like this year. Theoretically, just a matter of time until they update their software & the issue is resolved.

As others have said ... it's faster HOWEVER I've had some issues when travelling where OpenVPN wasn't blocked but WireGuard was in some hotels. So I have both, if I can, I use wireguard, otherwise OpenVPN is slower, but does the job.
I was not trying to imply globalism was one thing. I also pointed out that it is the norm for "liberal democracies", as a way to not paint with too broad of a brush. I very much agree with you.
I agree that the Chinese people are victims of their government. Why then is there no outrage that Americans are the victim of their own government as well?

If TikTok is banned by the US because of the actions of the Chinese government, then we are no better than the Chinese government who have banned countless "American" apps, as if apps should even have a nationality in the first place.
Not really. I have to trust that those people are doing the right thing given the situation and details that I'm not fully informed about, just as they trust that I'm doing the right thing in my business area.

Once I lose that trust (faith?), then it's time to move on.
I wonder if there's a font with the same idea of being easy to OCR. I mean something that one can write full pages of and be easy to read for both the human and the machine.

Also likely because in the past the internet was really diverse. One would visit 20 sites possibly during one session.

Today, the landscape looks more like: You visit Google, click some links that open in AMP (still Google), visit some social networks (primarily Twitter and FB-owned properties). These companies already operate TLS-only, which helps these numbers.
Yes and yes, the $5 droplet is perfect for wireguard.
I'm sorry, let me make sure I understand what you're asking. Are you seriously asking for a source to back up the claim that organophosphate pesticides can be toxic to fish?
No, absolutely not. man, i really don't get why people are tearing me apart here when none of you know anything about me or my cat. You all sound like a bunch of assholes.
You're projecting your feelings about YC onto me. I don't think being a developer or YC alum makes me more entitled to good support.

As I said in my original post, if I can't figure out how to "properly" report a bug with a tech background, how do you think a regular user is going to?

> especially given you didn't follow the template

The information he told me I was missing ("talk about the user impact") was /not in the template./ The template was also not, at the time, configured to show in the issue tracker editor, it was only in the wiki. I don't think it should be on the average user to dig that up.

The user impact of freezes upon every sent message in a messaging app is also comically obvious.
I didn't have a specific example in mind, but I believe your example works.

I was mainly thinking, in general, of industries that have experienced significant consolidation.
You read my mind!!! Do you have any experience with Puppeteer? I want to use it to scrape several FB pages and then send the data to a PHP script, but couldn't figure it out yet. Can you give me some pointers? Please let me know: https://contact.do/toni

There's no way Firefox can protect itself from a 3rd party that can write to the disk. It's only making it more difficult. Viruses will still manage OK.
Yeah, if you don’t have a home network you want access to, a cloud server would do just fine.

Smallest droplet would probably be fine, if you’re not streaming 4K video. Same goes for the 1TB transfer limit.
China doesn't ban or restrict heavily only to American companies. All companies are subject to the same laws. It's whether to comply or not.

It must be hard for Americans to understand the need for censorship and thus feel angry when they are subject to such policies. But there are deep historical reasons. And I think ByteDance doesn't really care about whether or not censoring their product in the US. My guess is that it's easy for them to just manage one content review team than multiple.

I really don't buy this idea that features and quality of a project are what drives adoption. Hype, social connections and funding is what drives adoption, features is what follows (sometimes) once good engineers start to join the company (as a result of all the hype) but features and quality have very little to do with success.

Smalltalk is not a perfect language. What are its shortcomings?
still waiting on an answer as to why you felt the need lock the project down so that people actually contributing to it couldn't continue to do so. Seems like very poor stewardship of FOSS projects on your part.
And that's been fixed, so maybe don't assume. No need to be an asshole to strangers when you don't know anything about them but a few words.
What is your email? Would love to speak with you.
Oh yes it’s absolutely privileged. Doesn’t make it less true. The GP asked why Americans were so ready to use a Chinese social network. My answer is they don’t care because they don’t think of it as overtly Chinese, and those that do don’t really care unless they have a reason to.
I wish Apache project websites would have better design focus, just a bit more attention to detail. It is particularly difficult to read this site on mobile.
Runway-launched refueling tankers will always be superior to carrier-launched refueling planes.

Diplomatic relations with questionable regimes for the purpose of securing runways and supply lines for aerial refueling tankers will almost always be cheaper--in terms of both cash and international reputation--than building carriers (including the carrier-group support craft), training Navy crews, and deploying the carrier fleets to the desired operating theaters.

A carrier-launched refueling drone is not a cure-all. It fills a specific mission niche better than the existing alternatives.
What about moving around in the same company? For large corporations, this seems like an inside-sales recruiting angle you would not want to miss.

Microsoft I heard recommended workers career changes regularly (18m - 3y) within the org for this reason.
Hi, love your background what is your email? Would love to connect with you.
It's also very hard, in any language with "eval", to support new language features and backwards compatibility.

try:
eval("async")
except NameError:
print("pre-3.7")
except SyntaxError:
print("3.7 or later")

Similarly, eval("a@b") gives a NameError on newer Pythons, and SyntaxError on older.
The Silos Keep Blocking the Vision
Because I can't connect directly to news.ycombinator.com, my request is first proxied through verizon and comcast and others. Without HTTPS it is super easy for them (or lesser known snooper) to add malware or whatever they want to the messages. It's useful because of the data integrity verification, not the encryption.
Friend of mine decided to go phoneless -- borrowed an iPhone 6S from his QC department and used it to activate an Apple Watch, which is now his sole mobile device.
If you use macOS you can also use iTerm2 to make splits without additional keystrokes to move around them like in tmux.
I like that idea of questions.

I do have one that says something like make a list, writer out 2 or 3 things and do them.
> I said that not tracking complexity is a matter of choice, and you mistakenly thought it amounts to deciding halting

And you implicitly acknowledged this fact by using TPL as example: you know, the class of language where all you can write is a provably halting program (that's the definition of Total programming languages!).

The halting problem being a property of Turing-complete languages, you just sidestepped the issue here.
> People make the mistake of assuming...

Are all of your fairly extraordinary predictions of the future here not also completely based on assumptions derived from an extremely small sample size of simplistic examples from history, and assuming those outcomes can be accurately projected into the future despite massive changes in the value and number of variables involved?
Even if it says "secure", that doesn't mean it really is. I worked at a place in the 90's that hosted a some sites taking credit cards through HTTPS. You know what they did? They sent emails, in clear text, to people at the store that would enter / process the cards manually.
Hosting my Wireguard server on a scaleway instance, I encountered a very slow performance. Some web pages didn't load at all. Server was under no load. Lowering the MTU on the client and the server from 1500 to 1360 solved the problem. FYI
