While I agree with your summary I think the OP brushes against another point I think is really important: a large number of users do not care to optimize their own experience for ~some~ reason, even when the lack of optimization has a significant opportunity cost.

As software developers we pull our hair out trying to architect around this issue... and we usually fail hard.

I could guess an infinity of potential causes, but if anyone has a concise answer to how to avoid the phenomenon please comment.
The ergonomics of this seem terrible, on laptops the sacrifice is made for portability. For desktops there is no reason to have the display so low. I don't see this happening.

Yes. We also keep other individuals in prison. If they are similar (once per week, 80% in prison) then the 80% applies in general.

The numbers vary and the specific values are unimportant to understanding the basic idea. The point is that keeping criminals away from victims is how we actually reduce crime.
This is the thinking man's question right here
> You mean I have to own a computer to back up my phone to a computer that I own?

Many people only own an iPhone and nothing else.

> If an iPhone is charging and on the same wifi network as the computer, it will automatically sync at night.

Even fewer people have a computer that stays on all night.

> Or you just fire up iTunes when you want to sync.

Sure, something you have to remember to do.

The main point though is that many apps that have sync capabilities require iCloud. iTunes backups do not work for sync.

Flight search. I hunt deals for Aussie travellers (https://www.beatthatflight.com.au), but an inordinate amount of my searching for deals is manual.

- initially, all manual

- secondly, timers - I know when some airlines do deals, so I go look

- thirdly, I found other sites indexing unusually cheap flights, but they're not always the same price on my site

- fourth, built a script to search my own site for a route, but the number of combinations rockets with the increase in date ranges. If you're taking different stopovers etc, it becomes ludicrous.

- it's growing at least, but finding ways to make it less hands on and less mind-numbing is a never ending quest. Although I still enjoy it :)
The decibels aren't the topic being discussed. It's balls, and you can't quantify balls past a pair. It was the attitude of standing firm and not actually changing anything that gave it balls.

No joke, this song has had a huge positive impact on my life. When I was learning to walk again after a broken ankle, I would put on Eye of the Tiger when I thought I couldn't go any farther, and it would help me walk just a little bit more. When I was having my baby and the pushing phase of labor got really intense and I started freaking out, we put on Eye of the Tiger and it helped me keep going and avoid an emergency c-section.

I wish I knew how to contact them and thank them for writing it!

Google allows games that reward in real world value. They don't allow gambling. We were not suspended for violating the gambling terms because our app includes no gambling at all and no games of skill. We give away money to all users and nobody earns more or less.

> truly punitive would involve torture

And it does. Methods like solitary do classify as torture under international laws.

The not approved, but still happens, "code red"s that get employed by both staff and inmates, are very clearly torturous.

Slave labor, could also classify as torture. Especially when those meager wages are decimated by the basic costs of things. Such as the per-minute charges to read free ebooks that has been rolling out, or the ridiculous charges to connect by phone or email to anyone not living in the same hell that you are - something that has been shown to help the mental state of the incarcerated.
Yes.

And the "gateway carriers" have a corporate shell and people who are intimately involved with scams of all sorts. Which is why they got in the business of enabling other scams.

When they see the writing on the wall, do you not think that the ones in charge won't try to sneak all of the money that they can out of the company into somewhere it can't be traced, that they can pick up later?
Haha - it's a perennial issue.
PouchDB author here, your project looks great good job.

I certainly agree that switching backends to CouchDB has made it hard for people to adopt Pouch/Couch. I have often considered how I could make Pouch work with arbitrary data sources, but as you well know its a tricky problem.

However I dont understand from your website or comment here about how conflict resolution is easier? Given the situation of having 2 clients recieving an initial data of {key: value}, the clients go offline, 1 client writes {key: foo} and the other writes {key: bar}, the clients then both reconnect. What is the new state?
I wear it everyday for a workout of ~1 hour and while the battery goes down by around 10% from that it’s not unthinkable for the battery to survive a multiple hour hike if fully charged.

Of course 12 hours with constant heart rate monitoring will be tough, I haven’t tried that.

They could do that, but then people who can't get the game to work will give negative reviews. It's better to just not give them the opportunity at all.

The extreme thing to do is to put people in prison for consuming/selling drugs.

Consuming drugs may be a vice but so is gambling. You don’t put gamblers in prison just because they gamble.

It is also possible to have a healthy relationship with drugs (or gambling). Most people can and do have a healthy relationship with drugs already e.g. alcohol.

Again, throwing people in prison because of your judgement of their choices is an extreme thing to do.

Imagine if we threw people in prison because they were eating to much sugar and becoming obese!

Giving people choices about what they want to consume is not violence. Forcing or coercing them to do so, is. This is what Britain did in China and what pimps do to prostitutes.
People say here that the UI is bad but nobody says what exactly is supposed to be bad about it. Or is it just enough that it doesn't look like the blown up UIs that are in fashion today?
"meaningful amount" -- the app rewards users in a very small amount we're very clear about that. There's no contradiction there.

You can withdraw even a fraction of a penny on the first day we're not hiding anything. Our users know this.
Thank you for this heartwarming story.
I mean, I didn’t have a clue about IT and only ever used windows until AFTER college.
In high school I didn’t have the slightest care for any computer type stuff besides AIM, Napster and cracked video games. I had two programming classes in college. (Neither Of which I cared for too much or really learned much about the underlying machine)and they were both done on Windows computers. I guess I’m lucky my degree (EE) overlapped with comp eng, I got into some decent jobs that let my work overlap gradually into software land. I now I work on Linux machines all day, and have a very healthy hunger to continue to learn and pick up new knowledge.

But bottom line, none of this developed until I got into a career. Kids back in the day were just as clueless. And there are a few outliers, sure.
Fair point but it's much further hamstrung than it needs to be and it would be easy to add velocity after the performance.
If you’re old and poor and have a chronic illness you can’t pay for, having mediocre government healthcare is better than nothing, obviously. The point is I would 100% commit a white collar crime if I were put in that situation.
> Multithreaded programming is still one of the most problematic activities even for senior programmers

My second favorite class in college was the elective for distributed computing (which I took instead of compilers, but I wish I'd taken both). It felt good to me and I came out into the job market ready to concurrent all the things.

By the time I'd worked with a disparate group of coworkers, I found out that 1) my enthusiasm was a rare thing, 2) that this was with good reason (many, many burnt fingers), and 3) that just because I love something doesn't mean that it should have a central role in a team project, even if I am the lead.

In a similar way that I 'got dumber' by learning to think like a user (one of the downsides of studying UX) I sort learned to reach for concurrency after I'd tried several other options.

... but here I am, years and years later, debugging other people's async/await code for them. Nobody likes to have to have someone else fix their mistake, but it goes a lot better when I start by telling them this shit is hard. Which it really is. Even when (or maybe especially when) I'm confident my stuff is right, I find a few boneheaded mistakes that I have expressly warned others to avoid in stuff I wrote uncomfortably recently.

The scammers are. The companies being targeted are onshore. Which is why the USA can get to them.

My point is that the people in charge have every reason to believe that the government will crack down on them, and have had all the time that they need to try to hide the money. By the time the courts are done, there will be no money to find.

> a large number of users do not care to optimize their own experience for ~some~ reason, even when the lack of optimization has a significant opportunity cost.

A large proportion of people don’t even optimize their bedroom, and probably a huge proportion for teens and young adults. It’s lack of caring about long term benefits and focusing on short term benefits. Or laziness. Or procrastination. Or whatever you want to call it.

You can spend some time now to make the future easier, or you can enjoy the time now and deal with the future later.
Again, if you have a chronic illness and you have no money in old age having government healthcare is better than nothing. I’m not actually sure the quality is that bad.
I've read that another reason is to try and get people who are a bad influence out of the area. For example, some parts of Baltimore are so bad that there is almost no chance for kids growing up to have a life not influenced by violence, so they just try and lock people up as long as possible so they won't be a negative influence on the people in the area. Trying to rehabilitate them would probably be pointless because they are going to go back to live in the same shitty situation that led them to a life of crime in the first place. It'd be like sending an alcoholic or drug addict who just finished rehab right back to the same people and circumstances that made them need rehab.

Ask HN: USD Drones on Amazon are they any good?
I am contemplating purchasing one of the relatively cheap 5G GPS drones that are sold on Amazon. My specific application is to take aerial photos/video of my forested acreage to use for development planning. I have read several positive reviews on Amazon but from past experience I know you can't really trust Amazon reviews due to them requiring approval and mediation before allowing negative comments.
> A few decades ago, an unemployed person might be stuck on the couch watching TV, isolated and depressed. Today, cheap or free services such as Facebook, Snapchat, YouTube and Netflix provide seemingly endless entertainment options and an easy connection to the outside world. Video games, in particular, provide a strong community and a sense of achievement that, for some, real-world jobs lack.

I mean, this is absolutely equivalent to "Young people today aren't doing any work because it's so easy to entertain themselves - the wide availability of books is ruining society."

Reading deep into the article, there aren't any specific income related analysis and their examples are all people that are living at home - so these are people who have the financial freedom to choose not to work (possibly by placing an undue burden on their parents). The gender split is interesting but might tie back to the same source, next time you're getting lunch with coworkers try asking how many chores people did as a kid, among my coworkers the women had much more responsibility (including one coworker who was responsible for making sure her brother did his chores and would have to do them for him if he shirked them).

I think this is much more of an educational issue and much less something tied to video games... I'm also seeing no links to mj other than the broad assumptions that anyone who has ever touched mj is lazy.
One reason I use Apple Music over Spotify is that Apple Music is entirely supported by paying customers rather than by ads. This aligns thier incentives more closely to mine.
None, pure guess.
I definitely overemphasized. I'd hold that it is a primary force though, given many first hand relationships.
When I had my first computer as a kid (~8yo) and no one to teach me about the inner workings, I still felt that I wanted to dig deep into it. As the years passed by and saw the evolution from dial-up to all-day-long available & fast connections, tons of material to learn online, videos on demand... I thought oh wow, the next generations are going to have so much IT knowledge very early!

Turns out that today, in my humble experience, it’s very rare to find geeky (pre)teens unless they have geeky parents (and not even then). Computers became much more simplified, problem-free and in different forms to mostly consume content. So the curiosity that grew inside of me while solving daily computer problems is very difficult nowadays as most of the issues aren’t very challenging (which is very good for the average user).
> It's not really ideal in a number of installations to be pulling down 1GB Docker images simultaneously from 20 devices when you push an update.

That seems like a really big image? Alpine-based images in my experience tend to be under 100MB.

But I would be fascinated to use p2p for distributing image layers; it feels like that shouldn't be too hard?

EDIT: it's been done, apparently:)

Do you know if Apple Music is available on Windows? I know iTunes has been on Windows for years, so I assume it supported Apple Music initially, just like on the Mac?
This isn't memory corruption, and you could easily end up with the same bug in Go (or Rust) code; the problem is that it's shelling out to subcommands to perform mail delivery and not screening addresses for metacharacters due to a logic bug.
No. Please read about MVCC: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiversion_concurrency_con...

The tl;dr is that

> Locks are known to create contention especially between long read transactions and update transactions. MVCC aims at solving the problem by keeping multiple copies of each data item. In this way, each user connected to the database sees a snapshot of the database at a particular instant in time. Any changes made by a writer will not be seen by other users of the database until the changes have been completed (or, in database terms: until the transaction has been committed.)

In other words, the system uses immutable state under the hood plus some atomics/locking to present the abstraction of safe shared mutable state.
> The difficulty of coping with gender dysphoria could just as easily explain the high suicide rate among trans people.

While you're right that dysphoria over physical manifestations of the wrong gender can be traumatic, in my experience its usually the experience of social shame.

> It's a tool, a necessary one, and it's not helpful to label shame as "toxic and destructive"

I didn't.

> The fact that the latter is likely more harmful than the former does not make it violent.

There's the 2nd definition in the dictionary: "strength of emotion or an unpleasant or destructive natural force". Shame is a violent force.
Gen X doesn't have a clue about punch cards. Boomers don't have a clue about steam engines.

My teen is a lot more interested in what she can use tools to do and create, not fucking around with installing hardware and operating system. I feel like this is a better use of her time, frankly.

Author here. This is actually a fairly old project of mine by now, but I just recently submitted it to Hackaday, which is probably why it's surfaced here.

Even in the absence of those factors, the perverse incentives of our current system of for-profit prisons would indeed remain relevant.
If you're old and poor you're probably a Medicaid/Medicare dual eligible already and are receiving a decent level of care - it's not great and it should be higher... but it's better than what you'd get in prison... that said - your chronic condition might still go untreated.
> No. Your database is one giant shared mutable state.

That doesn't refute anything from the parent post. In fact you prove the parent's point in the very next sentence:

> How is using a database safe then? Transactions.

Which is to say, you can have shared mutable state, but you need some mechanism to protect access to that state. It is not safe to just access it however you like, which is why database have transactions, and why we have primitives like mutexes for dealing with OS-level threads.

I imagine the author shaking his fist at the sky while writing this.

Speaking as a former teen, teens don't know much about sales and marketing, mechanical engineering, international politics, or basically any other aspect of the adult world. This is because they're teens.

I guess because they learn to use new technology faster it gives the impression that they know all about it. But I don't know why anyone would expect them to be an expert in operating system design or anything.

Hm. I use white-on-purple at work, and green-on-black at home. Anyone else use apparently-unusual terminal colors?

*green-on-black with occasional red, was part of a rotating color set I used to use. The Christmas colors were nice enough I kept them year-round.
And Thunderbird's configuration system. I tried getting back to Mutt a couple years ago, but gave up configuring it after a few hours. I believe the biggest pain points were multi-server configuration and enabling as much caching as possible.
