I'd say it's very customizable, but requires (sometimes significant) time investements.

I'll respond here since can't reply to the original comment:

1. "leading stars" -- I think the solution is org-hide-leading-stars (and it is basically the hack you are describing)

2. "now it takes multiple seconds to refresh my agenda view" -- org-super-agenda is a pretty mature library handles groups well. As for performance, the most significant speedup for me was setting org-agenda-span to a lower value

3. "it's actually pretty hard to find good examples of a full org-mode workflow." -- agree. One reason is perhaps because it's quite hard to communicate your workflow to other people becaue it's too specific to your needs.

4. "But problematically I now have a lot of files with similar names" -- yep, refile-outline-path, but also uniquify helps a lot.

5. "Apparently org-mode deliberately prevents the end user from adding their own custom emphasis formats" -- don't know whether that's the case; but you can abuse org-add-link-type, then you could write [highlight:Some text to highligtht], and do whatever styling you want during the export. Hacky, but kinda does the job.

Finally, it's at least possible in theory to override any org-mode function and change the logic. Of course, you can do it with any other text editor, but it would be way less effort to hack Emacs (even if it's dirty and adhoc).

I can however understand the frustration. It took me several attempts to pick up Emacs and Org-mode specifically. And I'm still very often frustrated by it, but I personally find being able to bend your editor into doing exactly what you want worth the effort.
I think of the BLAS algos as being very Fortran friendly, and the Fortran references never _out_perform the C implementations. (The asm implementations are of course the best.)

Be curious to know what you're thinking of here.
When I look in the mirror, I don't see someone wanting clearly biased, opinionated, decontextualized, or downright unfacts, trying to be spun as news, with zero retractions or apologies when it's called out. Those are the reasons journalism sucks, and it has nothing to do with what I see in my mirror.
There's a huge constant factor involved, which is why we still use binary. As in many algorithms, asymptotic analysis doesn't tell the full story.

The old iPhone SE had two things that appealed to me (and anecdotally, that appealed to some of my friends):

1. it was small-ish
2. it had a headphone jack

Without those I don't see this as a viable followup product.
They need to have a higher tier at $15/month or something and get the big names onboard too. It's never gonna include Bloomberg too though; they're simply too expensive because they target the businessperson market. Bloomberg's digital subscription costs $35/month. WSJ likely wouldn't be in there for similar reasons, at $20/month.
Someone in say Guatemala that has no bank account and never touches a USD might use a ubiquitous "dollarcrypto" on their phone. Lots of people around the world use cryptocurrency to hedge against inflation of their local currency. A US crypto would increase US influence.
What is the point of doing contract tracing if it is optional?

IMHO, if (key point) it is deemed that contact tracing is crucial then it should be mandatory with government-approved apps. People who do not want to be traced are then 'free' to stay confined at home until this is over.
I would still be using my 7 if it had a decent camera.

I loved - LOVED - that phone.
Something in the works for Async & Await?
You might as well give up on the headphone jack bud. It ain't coming back.
If you look at the time stamp, it is not really a dupe.
Nope. XS, XSMax, XR, 11 and 11 pros all have that.
I strongly believe that TTY compatibility is a feature which should not be discarded. But that doesn't, I think, prevent the kind of features you mention: they just need to be first-class UI features like the minibar is.

Agreed that Elisp needs to be upgraded. I think that it should just be replaced with Common Lisp, which has namespaces (packages), and is very fast, and whose implementations support networking & threads just fine. Of note, part of why Emacs regexps are so unusual is that they are pragmatic: since they will be used to match Lisp source so often, () are not the metachars they are in other regexp dialects.
Going to force mine to learn how to use T9
The whole point of the programme is to have the latest device if you're the kind of person who likes tech and wants the latest, not someone who will keep an SE for several years.
4/4S/5 and the old SE are still my favourite designs / form factors (saying this despite owning 6/7/11Pro). I hope 12 will do away with rounded edges (similar to the latest iPad Pro).
Introduce a 3.5mm jack, a flat edge, and make it a little smaller and you'd have a perfect phone
Apple stock is going to go bananas. Wall Street is going to love this.
Why did I leave? I retired after programming for over 40 years.

I started with Fortran while in the US Air Force (yay CDC 6600 and VAXen), got my CS degree, got out, worked in C/C++ and TCP/IP in the early '90s (yay SunOS), got married, moved to a big buy-side investment manager (meh Solaris), more C++, then Java. Lots of Sybase (yay JDBC).

7 years ago I quit after our big company was bought by a bigger company (yuck Perl).

Took 6 months off for a sabbatical (yay Rome. wow Bernini), then entered my "encore" career at a public safety agency. Introduced Python to that org, of which I am slightly proud. As always, plenty of RDBMS (Pro tip: don't run Oracle on (yuck) Windows Server 2008).

Regrets? Just that it's a shame programmers tend towards philistinism, and that office culture and beer culture overshadow any appreciation of history, philosophy, and the arts.
The current online experience is not remotely possible without ads. I'm willing to wager that the vast majority of content that you consume online is advertising supported, not directly supported by you. All of that is gonna start going away without advertising revenue.
Is it known how much RAM this has?
Was the gender of the person specifically mentioned on the website? I couldn't find it.
I went to Stanford undergrad and honestly, the Bay Area tech scene (and Seattle from what I've noticed) looks unappealing to me. The culture is a turn off.

I'd much rather have a 40 hour a week job somewhere else, where everyone understands it's a job and you can be your own person at home. It's hard to articulate, and I could write much more about it, but it's almost like the identity you have to don to fit in there feels too all-consuming.

I don't want to pretend I'm changing the world instead of just installing a new social hierarchy run by the meritocratic elite. I don't want to pretend that programming is my only hobby -- I want to do other things than learn new Javascript frameworks at home. I like my nice 3 bedroom house which is just minutes from downtown and is less than 3x my annual income.

It's admittedly an outsider's perspective but the only reason I would go back is to save up money for a few years then go somewhere else.
Less code doesn't imply faster code. GCC coreutils have blasted through openbsd coreutils for years.

Now we have CPUs with 256KB instruction cache and up. You can compile your whole OS at insane optimizations.
That's my dream! Do you know of any existing efforts towards it? I don't know much about Racket, how would #lang Python thing work (i.e. in terms of calling foreign functions etc)?
Is the frame made of aluminium or glass? I can't find it mentioned anywhere.
Both of these points are correct, but I'd point out one nuance.

The first point gets used a lot to support a narrative that all a startup needs to do is say "ML" in their pitch deck and secure funding. The reality is, almost all investors are aware of the prevalence of AI snake oil, and the good ones are pretty sophisticated when it comes to vetting it.

There is an also an attitude, related to this point, that startups who use ML in ways that aren't "new"—as in, finetuning a state of the art model, using well-known techniques, or otherwise "simply doing things with data"—aren't doing something worthwhile. I actually think the opposite is true. These startups represent the most exciting change in ML, in my opinion, in a very long time: They're actually building things with it.

We have a tendency to judge all ML announcements relative to our most extreme projections (autonomous vehicles, AGI, etc.) In that sense, yeah, nothing measures up right now. But lost in the back forth over the hype is the fact that there are a ton of companies building really cool, valuable products that couldn't exist without ML. Recommendation engines, speech-to-text, real-time prediction services (think Uber's ETA prediction), image analyzers, etc. Many of these are built by startups who aren't doing anything fundamentally new on the data science side, but I'm fine with that. Most SaaS companies aren't pushing basic technical boundaries either, and we find them pretty valuable.
I agree with what you’re saying but it is smaller than the X size phones
If the virus was called [Geographic Origin Optional] Wildlife Wet Market Coronavirus, and that naming caused the permanent banning of wildlife wet markets worldwide, I think I'd be all for it.
Personally, as a node developer (and occasional contributor), Windows Terminal and pwsh.

Not sure why you'd use or mention 'MS-DOS' since that stopped being a thing about 20 years ago, a decade before node existed.

And give up on the screen size. The number of people who want a phone to fit in their hands and pockets is effectively zero compared to people who want huge screens to scale up content size or watch videos on their commute.
So $400 equals roughly £320 and yet the retail price on the UK store is £419 🧐

Can Contour actually do the same? For me, the main benefit of an API gateway is being able to specify an internal service to handle authn/authz. With Envoy that's done via a filter, iirc. Can you set that Envoy specific config with Contour?
This has been my thought every time something like this comes up. Nobody ever cares about Johnny's Distribution Center and their paying minimum wage with poor working conditions. Amazon meanwhile is a big easy target.

Similar to folks on HN every time someone discovers that the Facebook SDK exists in <random app> while generally ignoring every other tracker and app that is possibly much more nefarious... Bobs Tracking App™ doesn't make headlines like "Facebook is stealing your data"
That's a remarkable lens. One thing that I think has been lost in photography today thanks to the smartphone is the value of high quality lenses. You simply can't replace great optics with software (at least, not yet).

I've got a few higher end cameras, and my favourite is probably my Leica Q2. It has a fixed prime lens (28mm), and the photos are just astounding.
four figure? I got the new XR for like $549 I think..
> Things like healthcare, paid sick leave adequate for the situation (so at least 4 weeks for proper quarantine), good PPE, in-depth infection combat strategies, and so on.

They are already doing all the things you suggested:

Those poor companies. They definitely deserve some sympathy along with their billions in profits and their employees definitely don't deserve safe working conditions.
>I think one element of writing ASM by hand is the programmer subliminally changes the algorithm to be 'simpler' to write.

It's not subliminal. It's packing a backpack that someone else has to carry, vs packing a backpack that _you're_ going to carry.
This bears repeating. Driving in major cities is, to me, one of the most miserable experiences to be found on the face of the earth.
I have been on Manjaro with XFCE for the past couple of years and it's a dream. Haven't had one driver problem. Zoom, Slack and Beyond Compare all work without issue as does VS Code. Installing and updating all software via the package manager UI is so much better than Windows that I'll never go back. Furthermore, I think that XFCE provides a better Windows experience for developers than Windows does - at least I don't have to find, download and install 7+ taskbar tweaker or hack the system configuration registry to get the features I want out of it.

Mixing business and gaming on the same machine caused problems for me even when I was fully on Windows, so I've always kept separate machines for that.
Yeah, you would be... after they begged for the 200th time.
The idea that we’d eventually come to a day when we can no longer see ourselves. That is hell for most, a gift to few.
After Coronavirus, Colleges Worry: Will Students Come Back?
iPhone 11, with an iPhone 7/8 body. Sounds ideal to me.
The iPhone 5C, my guess, was Apple's experiment with having a cheaper end phone and seeing how the market would react to that. With the original SE, they probably had a ton of left over iPhone 5 shells so they chose that because it just made sense to use them. My guess is this is the same reason why the new SE has the shell from the 7/8. This also helps Apple cut down on price since they don't have to create new molds or re-engineer the interior much, which is probably how Apple is convincing themselves that they can still make their expected margins with a $399 price tag.
This is what I was about to say, because I remember the first SE. Then I went checking the specifications and I was a little disappointed

Width: 2.65 inches (67.3 mm)

Height: 5.45 inches (138.4 mm)

Depth: 0.29 inch (7.3 mm)

Weight: 5.22 ounces (148 grams)

This is only a little smaller than my Samsung A40, which is 2.72 x 5.69 x 0.31 in (69.2 x 144.4 x 7.9 mm) and weights less than the SE (4.94 oz - 140 g).

Furthermore the A40 has almost no bezel and this iPhone has a lot of it at the top and bottom of the screen. The screen of the A40 is so large that I wish I could cut a couple of cm off it. It would be large enough, fit better in pockets and weight less.
My larger point here is that everyone on HN knows about ad blockers and is using them if they want to be, so it's tired and repetitious to keep seeing the same smug "Well why are you even seeing ads, just use an ad blocker" comments. The ads matter, even if you aren't personally seeing them. Ads are what funds the majority of content online. Most people are still seeing them. It's reasonable to have a discussion about ads, and responses like "Just use an adblocker" are just thread derails, as we're seeing here.
I tried this on WSL1 and it absolutely didn't work for any project larger than the typical Hello World example. Trying to use a polyglot project with a bunch of Java, Scala, Go, various plugins like DB views, etc. would grind Jetbrains on Windows to a halt as it simply couldn't sync with the project files on Linux due to slow IO.

I've used Linux VMs on Windows before - VMWare Workstation has been around for over a decade and has a lot of bells and whistles that make the experience tolerable, but again, the IO is too slow to share Windows and Linux apps between filesystems, so you're basically forced to develop 100% in the VM, IDE included. If you're locked to a Windows laptop because of your employee's IT rules, it's better than nothing, but not optimal, and I wonder why people are so excited for WSL2 when VMs that have more features have been around for over a decade.

I've been trying to find a non-Apple solution for a decade, and it just doesn't exist. And as Apple has been ignoring developers and MacOS itself for the last 5 years, and Linux is still riddled with the same problems it has had for 20 years, the options for developers are becoming less and less.
With a huge latency difference which makes them totally different in practice.
> How is Amazon overriding the sovereign decisions of a democratic republic in this case?

They are not, but they are aiming at leveraging their near-monopoly status to create public outrage against the decision. What else would motivate their decisions to forego profit on the allowed product categories? I am assuming we are all intelligent adults here, no need to spell out everything...

You can say what you want about Amazon, but they always take the long-term view when it comes to profits.
This is... not how ads/webcrawling works? I'm probably about as anti-google as anyone here, but blindly chanting a mantra benefits no one.

If we think about this logically, it makes sense that putting content into formats that the webscraping bot recognizes would score better than formats that it doesn't recognize.

For what it's worth, you can also put the date in semantic html tags. [0, 1, 2] Not only is this pretty easy, it also makes the site more accessible to people who use screen readers, etc. Here is how I do it (statically generated). [3]

I wish someone would explain me the 1Bn parachute Adam got after this scandal.
Bravo Finland. I remember attending Assembly'94 in Helsinki. So many good things came from the demoscene, including Tran's PMODE...
> It doesn't have a notch, but the screen doesn't go edge to edge

Neither does the iPhone 11/Pro they have a very chunky bezel. I was shocked how clunky it actually looks when mine arrived.
If you wanted a massive screen, the iPhone 11 has been out for ages (although at a premium price point)

No headphone jack and form factor > 4" it's a no-go for me..

I'm still on the 5S, my next one will be a SE 1 when my 5S blows up..
There’s no reason to go back. There’s more reason to stand off. Society will never be the same.
Yeah I love my old se. The square sides give me a more secure feeling when holding it. I love that it is smaller and fits nicely into my pocket. I really don’t want a phablet.
The anti-car crowd has missed this, somehow, in their lust to convert all of us to lemmings that can only get around with mass transport. There's an incredible sense of freedom that comes with a car: you can go where you choose, when you choose, without filing a flight plan or getting a ticket or anything other than fueling the thing up.

When you're dealing with something on the scale of North America, it's hard to imagine going without. As a Canadian, there are places here that mass transit can never dream of taking me. Am I to never go to these places?
My parents always purchased 25lb bags of flour from a local food distributor, and stored it in a 5 or 10lb plastic bucket. They baked a lot growing up, so they went through it quick enough that spoilage wasn't really an issue.
This is really a follow up to the iPhone 7/8.
Yes, it's quite brittle. Looking over your list, part of the problem is also that it was written to function as a WYSIWIG system in an environment meant for text buffers (rather than a generic MVC like framework where you could apply an arbitrary transformation on the on-disk data to present on the screen).

If you're a power user who would like a very malleable system, I can't imagine anything better than Scribble/Pollen. IME it felt very natural to use, and is infinitely flexible (fully-programmable in Racket).
Amazon isn't the only provider of these non essential goods and most others are now probably thinking twice about flaunting the currently stringent worker safety regulations.
What HN readers think of remote work
Hi HN,

So last week I launched www.letsgoremote.ca on hackernews and was fortunate enough to draw enough interest to receive thousands of responses to my remote work quiz & recommendation system.

Since then I have updated the quiz and recommendation functionality substantially and built a feature that now allows you to see how you "stack up" relative to your peers. Once again any feedback/comments would be absolutely amazing.

==========

I HAVE ATTACHED THE FINDINGS IN A COMMENT BELOW AS IT WAS TOO LONG FOR THE ORIGINAL POST

==========

Thank you for all who filled out the quiz on the first go around, I spent another weekend on this project to update it considerably based on feedback and would once again love any suggestions/feedback, apologies if it is still a little rough around the edges.

I genuinely hope that this could help steer at least one company towards a more positive remote work experience.

So if anyone wants to chat in further or has questions about how to improve their own business experience, they can also send me an email at hi@letsgoremote.ca and I would be happy to hop on a quick video call and offer any assistance I can.

No. It's not "yet another UNIX/POSIX-based OS". It's completey written from scratch.

I haven't followed Menuet for a few years. Not sure if now they have GCC or not. If not, probably you won't see your favourite apps run on it.
Oh, I agree it's not exactly the same situation. Though I believe the power difference between someone in uniform wielding a stick and a gun and a homeless/poor person is more universal and tends to lead to abuse. (In some cases, not even a poor person, just an unarmed one, can lead to police excessive use of force. We have seen this many times, even in the US).
Results from https://www.letsgoremote.ca

INDIVIDUALS

- An overwhelming 79.8% of the individuals enjoy WFH

- Just under half of the individuals claim to have "expert" level of experience working from home, 84% of these individuals enjoy WFH, but you have to assume that there is some degree of self-selection going on here

- Of the individuals who like WFH, 82% had a good "home office" setup

- The largest problems tended to be: focusing, missing the office, and feeling isolated in that order

- The largest problem that people wrote in was that there isn't a clear separation between work and home life and they are working more hours from home

- For people who missed their office, the main reasons were: saying hi to coworkers (73%) and getting out of the home (70%). These were considerably higher than too many distractions at home (19%) and too much noise at home (5%)

- If an individual complained about being bored, they are only 66% likely to enjoy WFH

If an individual says they don't have a routine, they are only 58% likely to enjoy WFH

- Pretty much the only subgroup of people who disliked WFH more than enjoyed it were people who complained about missing dressing up for the office

- People expressed an interest in wanting to learn an additional language, code, personal finance and then cook in descending order.

EMPLOYERS

- The top problems for employers were 1) maintaining a sense of community: 57%, 2) maintaining employee morale: 50% and 3) keeping employees accountable: 43%. Problems with morale were amplified in "expert" remote companies

- Chat was by the most common source of communication (75%)

- Spanning multiple timezones made no significant impact on whether or not the company had problems with maintaining a community and/or employee morale

- Just under half the companies typically communicate with whiteboards

- The main employee count range tended to be from 10-80

- The most common project management style was a good ol' fashioned checklist.
Devastated they increased the size, but saw it coming. It’s the same as an iPhone 8, which is too big.
