What a load of shit. I’m sorry I have an 11 year old who has an iPod touch the real problem here is lax parenting. My son cannot use his phone alone in his room alone, he doesn’t have TikTok or any social media apps. He cannot take it to school (not that there’s a school to go to at the moment) or take it out of the house unless he asks first and 95% of the time we don’t let him. Kids test—that’s like an iron law of childhood. It’s your job as a parent to set boundaries. Set the rules and set the consequences and then FOLLOW THROUGH on the consequences. This is the equivalent of lazy parents in the 80s blaming “death metal” for their children’s problems, or lazy parents in the 90s blaming video games, or 2000s parents blaming the internet. It’s you—all these problems are your fault.
Cockroach employee here, and I'm all in on TwinkieDB. Please start a write-in campaign.
Social drinkers maybe. Nobody is getting covid staying at home killing a 12 case while they play video games
> You really think that laypersons have any idea of what DKIM is?

The layperson doesn't have to understand the intricacies of email protocols, it's enough that they consider email to be non-repudiable. This is why a copy of an email typically suffices as "proof" of a contract. If you successfully run a campaign to make email repudiable, then laypersons will no longer consider email to be non-repudiable, and emails no longer suffice as "proof" of a contract. If you disagree with something I said here, can you specify which part it is exactly that you disagree with?

> You seem to be arguing that the world would be better with non-repudiable email.

Yes, the world is better off now, at a time when laypersons consider e-mail to be non-repudiable, compared to a hypothetical future where this is no longer the case.

> But then I ask how many disputes have been resolved with DKIM and you have no idea. So basically your argument has zero basis in reality.

So if I can't give the exact number of times that DKIM has helped in dispute resolution, then my argument "has zero basis in reality"? This doesn't make any sense. If I said that "the existence of courts prevents vigilantes", you could say the same thing: "well what's the exact number of times that the existence of courts has prevented vigilanteeism? ha! you don't know the exact number! your argument has zero basis in reality then." We could apply your logic to many other scenarios: what's the number of times that existence of guards has prevented prison breaks? What's the number of infections prevented by vaccines? We don't know the exact numbers for any of these things, and yet we can logicly deduce that courts prevent vigilantes, guards prevent prison breaks, vaccines prevent infections, and DKIM prevents breaking contracts.

> You're asking for every email user to have non-repudiation enforced unwillingly to them in every email they send so that someone maybe someday may solve some imaginary dispute with Amazon by using DKIM.

Laypersons already believe that emails have non-repudiation property. People are free to use secure messengers to communicate privately. When people choose to communicate with email, they are choosing non-repudiation over privacy. You are the one who is asking to change e-mail protocols so that they would work differently than people currently expect. I'm the one saying e-mail should work like people expect e-mail to work.
I think a different mindset to adopt is the understanding that: people don't bother giving feedback to those who they don't care about or have to work with again.

Sometimes this applies more or less depending on the particular company and culture / working relationship, but in general it's a good thing to understand. (This also tends to happen more / better in high-functioning environments, or work where it's project-based and you have choices about who to continue working with next.)

If someone has written you off, they won't go to the trouble of creating, thinking about, and giving feedback. Because good feedback takes effort. It's a obligation of the other person to put thought into it, so you should learn to appreciate it.

In addition to the other advice about delivering it properly, giving concrete examples, etc. etc.

Give feedback as a gift to others, and receive it in that way.
> will the same people be advocating that we must refer to main in HDDs that are in a RAID configuration?

Are drives commonly referred to as master/slave in that context? With the exception of when hot spares are present the drives in each array are considered equal (unless perhaps you have some arrangement where all parity information is on a subset of the drives). Maybe during the initial build process if you are converting a single drive to an array (for instance by adding a mirror to convert to RAID1) you might call the original drive the master, but this is in the context of a master tape rather than a master/slave allusion and even then I think I would have naturally called it the "source" drive instead.

The last time I remember referring to a drive as "master" was back when pre-SATA drive interfaces where dominant and you had up to two drives per interface cable.
So funny how the heat spreader looks like someone just snipped a portion of it off during assembly to make it fit with the dimms there.
I'm afraid that hiring for writing skills will reduce your pool of hires by 99%.

I expect it would be more fruitful to create a workflow around a combination of video calls and writing that would take the strong sides of each to buttress the weaknesses of the other.
> Craig Fredaspaghetti just spoke about this in interviews on the Apple Silicon/Big Sur release.

Fredaspaghetti!
Uh, AppleTV?

Apple may very well beef up AppleTV and market the gaming angle of the device a lot more than they currently are, but given their history with Pippin I think your claim they will pitch a new dedicated game console type device is unlikely in the extreme.
With all my love to Mr. Levels[1], I'm personally glad the author decided to approach this as their little "Tiny projects" rather than "Follow me as I build six startups in six months". I feel it nicely sets expectations to what I can get out of checking out each project and thinking "well, it's just a tiny project after all, why can't I have made something like this ever month too?". The 12 startups idea was also inspiring to me but I disliked how the term so frequently leads people to (IMO) somewhat pointless analysis of "Is this even a real startup?" around each individual project.

Or the poorest. Especially if you cannot find a job that pays more than daytime child care costs. Then it’s cheaper to have a parent stay at home, despite the poverty level, because any daycare available costs more than any available job brings in.
It wasn't obvious how much use or how chronic the use had to be - is it implied to be chronic heavy drinking or just the glass of wine a day that causes the changes?
I'm going to take it in a different tangent. I need less distraction. The latest one is MacOS Big Sur, anytime I open my MBP or actually anytime I step away and comeback it pops up a notification about my "Airpods Nearby" or something like that and if I don't respond it will do it again in 10 to 15 minutes (probably lost the signal for a moment)

It sounds great but it's not. Instead what happens is I see the motion at the top right of the screen and it distracts me, I lose my train of thought. I either have to manually click on it (more distraction) or wait 10-15 seconds for it to go away.

It the same with all the ridiculous badges in discourse. There's a notification or an unread (3) count and it's yet one more thing to distract me. Maybe it's a notification of a reply but if it turns out to be a notification of a badge then I've just been distracted and lost my train of thought.

We need designers and companies to take an pledge/oath to stop trying to distract us. I get Facebook and Twitter may never do that but I feel like a lot of designers who would just haven't yet got the message that they are not helping their users by distracting them.
What civilizations did for ages has no bearing whatsoever on whether that was good or bad, either then or now. Not in and of itself. So I just took a hammer to the foundation of OP's statement. My argument was that it was always done like that due to lack of a better choice. Money aside almost everyone would choose better.

As someone who lived in those conditions, surrounded by people in the same situation, I can say nobody wanted to live with 3 generations under the same roof. The lack of privacy, of space, the conflicts you can typically get from so many views cramped together, and all the social dynamics within that group are definitely not something to romanticize unless you've never actually lived it like most people did.

It's easy to assume living in your parents' 6 bedroom house (or with the in-laws in the guest house of a 3000sqft main house, and the parents a mile away like one commenter though is a similar enough situation to the topic) is how "every civilization has done it" so far. Perhaps those insisting it's great (or that they're always right) might want to try it for themselves, the way those civilizations were actually doing it.
This exactly. That she's returning home from school at 6:30! The author didn't give their daughter's age, but we can assume it's right before 14, so maybe 12-13. I'm in high school, and I take a couple HL IB classes, school always gets out for me at 3, and then I do cross country until 5. That is already a long day. Then I go home, eat, do homework, and depending on the workload it could be anywhere between 8:00-12:00. Finally I'm able to go to bed, and redo the whole thing. I am a high schooler, and I'm taking high level classes for credits in college. The author's daughter is probably a middle schooler.

The issue is the daughter doesn't have time to be creative. I program, edit videos, etc., but all of that I have to save for the weekends. The daughter probably doesn't have the energy to be creative and just uses their phone during some downtime.

With my generation we are not always on our phones like many would believe. Pre-covid we would gather and talk after school, during lunch, in class. If I went with my friends to lunch it is acceptable to check your phone but we would never find it acceptable to be on your phone the whole time.

The issue is probably not the daughter, but the workload.
Those are all things I've found coaching to help with. I had tried other coaches before settling with mine, she was recommended by an investor who had worked with her closely for years. To be honest, so much of it is deeply personal. She works brilliantly for me, but I'm sure others might have different experiences (although she coaches many founders).

I think the best thing to do is to get recommendations / referrals from people you know, and try a few sessions. It really takes time (in my experience) to find a good rhythm with a coach, and to learn how to work with that person. An important indicator for me was that I felt really comfortable really quickly, and that my coach didn't just prescribe solutions, but instead helped me think through problems.
Wow, I was expecting a good card but not THAT good.

Every local library could store the full digitised book contents of the LoC[1] for about $5,000.

It is even more trivial to brew and optionally distill alcohol than to grow marijuana. So all that "difficult and costly" would achieve is an increase of dangerous homebrew substances being consumed.
I will still say that lacking the ability to communicate via a particular medium is not the same as lacking social skills. My inability to send messages via Morse code over telegraph lines doesn't mean that I lack social skills.
I wonder if and when we'll see remote unions appearing. Forming a group and going on strike is easy - perhaps easier - in a remote setting. Picketing offices could be done by overloading the company VPN, and DDoSing the company Exchange server would be the equivalent of a harder "picketing inside the plant, preventing work" strike.

>Higher demand pushes up the price of labour.

True... and higher supply pushes down the price of labour.

Software developers like to think they are some uniquely skilled niche, currently benefiting from the laws of economics.

If remote work REALLY takes off, the supply increases by whatever the rest of the world can contribute. It isn't like manufacturing where remote work isn't possible.

I don't really care what they say themselves. They quite obviously continue to move OSX in that direction. First they made opening unsigned programs a little bit harder. Then they made it much harder. Now they don't allow any unsigned apps to run at all unless you opt-out at OSX install time. I really don't understand how you can believe this is not clear. Especially considering the iOS situation.
It's what I always told everyone who jumped from ImageShack to Imgur. It was clean and lean back then, but it was obvious that one day it would turn into the next ImageShack. It happens with every. single. free. service. Or it just shuts down before it happens.

When you say they "should have 7nm in a year or two," are you just banking on them copying or stealing a European-made EUV machine?

China cannot be competitive at the razor's edge if its semiconductor companies depend on promptly copying/stealing technology that European, Taiwanese, and American companies bring to market.
As an actual American minority I'm a little upset that instead of someone trying to do something meaningful about racism they bikeshedded this solution. Git was made by a man from Finland, I find it highly unlikely he had nefarious intentions in naming the default branch 'master' and anybody who disagrees really needs to reevaluate everything we know about Linus. He doesn't care about people's attributes, he cares about code quality above all things, not to mention in the context of the project the word master can only fit under the simple context of a golden master. Context matters.

Will I lose any sleep over it? Probably not, because this changes absolutely nothing in the racism landscape. It just confuses some, maybe outrages others. They've made something that was never racist into something racist (at least in their heads).

Sidenote: I do wonder if the person who proposed the change wrote it up from their master bedroom.
The pandemic is not at all leveling the playing field except maybe between the elite of one country and the elite of another.

The non-elites everywhere are getting hosed.
They are both easy to train if you have trainers who are thinking about it as craft. That being said, if you are working in the technology field, you are more likely to work with individuals who actively learned engineering but passively learned writing.

Alternative example: early on in my career, I was a software developer for a PR agency and then a news organization after that. At these organizations, solid writing and editing is drilled just as much as good code review or test coverage is taught in engineering organizations. Their lunch-and-learn sessions aren't about new JavaScript frameworks; they analyze how a particular piece of text was created and find ways to improve it.

My single largest "level-up" in this domain was when I started reading more on character creation in fiction. It forced me to think about how I'm telling stories, which then meant I had to think about how I constructed paragraphs, which then... you get the idea. Some great books I read:

- Robert McKee's "Story," which analyzes how great screenwriting is constructed. You will view action movies in a totally different way after this.

- Corbett's "The Art of Character," which focuses on how characters are created

- Roman/Raphaelson's business writing book, which was recommended by PR legend David Ogilvy

- the U.S. Joint Chiefs of Staff manuals (https://www.jcs.mil/Library/CJCS-Manuals/). These are rigidly structured texts with strange language that forced me to consider writing for a different audience than I normally would (military officers versus tech engineers)

> Apple will even certify third party developers so that the system can still validate software outside of the Mac App Store. That kind of security model would be perfect for iOS and would moot pretty much all the substantive parts of Epic's complaint.

That's a really good point. Why isn't the dev community talking about getting Apple to do this on iOS?

It would allow sideloading while maintaining security, and a somewhat more fair amount of control from Apple.
Trump is culpable for much, but technically the conflict in Yemen started before he was president. The claim above still seems accurate, though I think we can safely say such a claim is damning with faint praise.
If you are not arguing against equal pay for equal work Remote = lower costs does not hold.

It also depends on what you think about wage gaps and why do we need equal employment laws in the first place?
I will be honest I've never seen an across the board "but that's a corporation, we don't want anything to do with that" to corporations the way that's done with unions at least on HN. No one's languishing a "<startup> is a corporation? I don't know, look at nestle and its human rights abuses. I don't think we should support <startup>".

FWIW I don't think unions are a silver bullet. I'm just pointing out that if you look at it from a neutral/uninvested party the bias is weird.
I find it hard to think this is not causation.

I had a habit opening LinkedIn every now and then to glance at the content. Sometimes I would quickly close, sometimes I read a bit and close, sometimes longer.. anyway that's a distraction from whatever I am doing.

I did a small experiment recently on LinkedIn. I unfollowed everyone. My LinkedIn feed is empty. I don't open LinkedIn as much now, think about it.. it faded away.

I really like having no feed.

Then I wondered what Facebook would be like without a Feed.

It's ridiculous that you were downvoted because this is exactly right. Assuming one works federal minimum wage for 40hrs/week and 52 weeks a year with no days off and no taxes, they make roughly $15k by my math. How could a three-person family, with two parents making $30k total, possibly afford to homeschool the child?
It is my store too as a parent of a single child losing creativity to instant pleasures and doom scrolling on an iPhone.

To add salt to injury, the dance team at school she is part of encourages them to post on Facebook and Instagram. They have study groups on Facebook, Discord, Slack and even Instagram.

When I demand they use simple old style text messaging, she has friends with fancy phones but no SIM card and depend on Instagram messaging for everything.

I have given up after going through frustrating, helpless and endless hours of convincing.

Lack of ability to focus will be the serious limiting factor for innovation and creativity. I see it at work where you get engineers cannot persevere to solve hard problems. Agile has become them excuse to do some quick hack and throw it across the wall.

There's a saying in my language that translated goes something like: "Words are taken by the wind".
Democracy means giving some level of choice to folks, and in countries with lots of non-urban non-groovy folks that means the rural parts get what they want. See voting in modern Iran, Egypt (the Muslim Brotherhood was elected), etc.

Afghanistan is only about 25% urban. The Cold War era led to a couple of decades of countries trying to figure out their alignment and less internal strife, but by the 70s the internal rumblings were becoming clear.

We could keep Cairo, Tehran and Kabul groovy as long as we're comfy keeping the boot on the majorities necks.
This is also possible, but problem with this QA and royalties is that it's the same PhysX situation all over again. Another lock-in tech that can only be used on Windows + Nvidia so it's barely going to be utilized.

The single best thing I did for professional development was see a therapist. In tech, our jobs are knowledge-based. You can't hammer a nail into a board while you're sitting on the couch with your child, but you can certainly think about software architecture.

Stress piles up and it affects not only your home life, but your work life.
