This was happening in an Ionic 4 project which was already using the stock tooling of the framework (Angular CLI). But I remember it being worse in Ionic 3 with its custom tooling, so overall things do seem to be improving with time.

My findings at that time (it was a while ago) seem to match exactly the slowdowns described in this issue [1]. Just importing the IonicModule in a new Angular project (without actually using any Ionic component) made the dev server build times jump from around 200 ms to a couple of seconds. And the situation only seemed to get worse as more Ionic features were being added to the app.

Just to make it clear, I understand that this is an open-source project and I don't expect anyone to fix my issues. And I'm also very grateful to you and the Ionic team for giving us Capacitor which is such a big improvement from Cordova.

So I don't like being all negative in here. But I did encounter a fair share of issues with Ionic and I'm only sharing my experience here as just another data-point in case it helps someone make a well-informed decision.

And I have to say, the overwhelmingly positive reaction to Ionic in general did make me question my own abilities several times. Maybe I just don't "get it". I still haven't ruled that out as a possibility.

Electrical, telephone, and cable tv wiring actually have a huge first mover advantage.

Whoever wired the thing first gets most of the customers and can pay for the build out. If you overbuild a roughly equivalent network, you're unlikely to get a lot of customers and you're unlikely to be able to pay for your buildout.

It doesn't matter if you have an exclusive franchise agreement once your network is built; the business realities provide exclusivity.
Feminism did a lot to stigmatize motherhood. "Stay at home mom" became a term of disparagement. You're basically a dumb loser and a miserable failure if you aren't a careerist woman (which is hilarious because such moms are typically much happier than those forced to earn wages or slave away in some toxic corporate environment). I think many more women would prefer to raise their children (which, btw, is a full time job and much more important than some job and for which jobs primarily exist in the first place) instead of pushing them onto some stranger who is payed to do their job for them and then go to work. And frankly, most jobs aren't something people would miss. Feminism of this kind is and always has been an upper middle phenomenon. There is little consideration for low income earners. You think most women are just dying to be wage earners? They do it because they have to. Low income mothers have always been working women, out of necessity, not some weird sense of ambition and needing to prove something. It's the middle and upper class mothers who could afford the privilege of staying at home. (Well, until now when even the upper middle class needs two income earners just to buy a house.)

Before someone possessed by the Zeitgeist clicks that downvote button, I will add that this isn't to say women should be banned from anything. You want a career, that's your business. Also, consider that besides raising children, there is plenty to do around the community that's probably more rewarding than a full blown career (even part time is stuff). However, I am saying that the social and cultural pressure, the NECESSITY, to be a careerist, and this means at the expense of your family which is sort of an afterthought, should be ridiculed and abolished. Girls should not be taught that their self-worth and happiness are to be found in a career. No one should. In this case it's making women miserable. Maybe as people begin to sacrifice some material comforts for the sake of a healthy family life, the market will begin to shift. After all, if you don't have that income rolling in any more and you're not keeping up with the Jones' likes some zombie, then the market will need to respond in turn.

(Also, please, no IVF. IVF is gravely immoral, especially given that you typically have to fertilize multiple eggs which are then are discarded or remain frozen.)
There was also significantly less stuff because hosting and hardware cost money.

I know. But still:

> Let us not look for the secret of the Jew in his religion, but let us look for the secret of his religion in the real Jew. What is the secular basis of Judaism? Practical need, self-interest. What is the worldly religion of the Jew? Huckstering. What is his worldly God? Money. Money is the jealous god of Israel, in face of which no other god may exist. Money degrades all the gods of man – and turns them into commodities…. The bill of exchange is the real god of the Jew. His god is only an illusory bill of exchange…. The chimerical nationality of the Jew is the nationality of the merchant, of the man of money in general.

It's from his book "On the Jewish Question". If I didn't knew any better, I'd say that it was written by a Strasserist or something like that.

And I'd imagine that most left-wing people would strongly object to this.
How is that so? Race, sexual orientation, gender, age, sure. Religion on the other hand is no different from ideology (or rather, in my view many left/right-wing ideologies are not very different from religions) - they can be chosen and abandoned freely, and they are prescriptive.
> “Since the cerebral cortex is the seat of intelligence, almost everybody thinks that it is also the seat of consciousness,” Solms writes. “I disagree; consciousness is far more primitive than that. It arises from a part of the brain that humans share with fishes.

It’s interesting that he says that, but also later on says we are embodied creatures, which can be taken as meaning that consciousness arises from our full body experience, not from one particular specific location of the body.
By endlessly arguing about regulating minor consumer/production classes the attention span and opportunities for effective change diminish. The regulation should happen for the big polluters first, i.e. coal plants, transport ships. When that is done and the problem is largely fixed, you can spend your time arguing about cryptocurrency taxation, why not.

It makes no sense, in the current situation, to discuss 10000 small energy consumers and appropriate pollution tax for all of them. We need to fix the damn energy production first.
Are you trying to prove my point?
> Astrazeneca would have may have made other supply chain decisions to build infrastructure outside the EU had they known this.

They absolutely would not. There is so much that goes into the regulations at play here (GxP specifically in Europe, similar to FDA in USA) and building out capacity takes years. They were struggling enough with restructuring their existing production towards this vaccine.

It's an incredibly complex system, for good reason, but it does mean it's extremely slow moving.
You are using part of a proof to reason about an entire domain. What happens if we treat music and software like recipes? We don't know because we have not proved it.

I used to think as you do. This is a much larger issue than trying to preserve the business model of a lobbyist.
“Let’s create a centralized bureaucracy to create innovation.”

Yeah, that’s worked many times in history.
Symmetric home bandwidth is a nice idea, but it's not how almost any residential infrastructure is built out. Even "symmetric" gigabit fiber usually isn't (yes I know there are a few FTTH networks using Metro Ethernet etc, but that's rare) since GPON is still asymmetric at the neighborhood level. Everyone on a single OLT port, very similar to how DOCSIS capacity is shared among a coaxial local segment in hybrid fiber/coax cable networks.

The reality is that residential customers use more download than upload on their last mile connection, bandwidth is always a limited resource that must be allocated, and engineering tradeoffs will always be made.

Is 3mbit up insufficient? It's workable right now, but barely. I do think that has good reason, and the capacity exists, to rise in the near future. But moving to symmetric is just going to result in more oversubscription on the upload side, and banking on how real-world most users don't actually fill their upload.

I'd also be concerned about the impacts on rural internet access innovation under this. Yes, "innovation" has too often been an excuse for refusing to build out physical plant; but the market has responded with new options which can provide over 25/3 to deep rural customers at a price point which can be profitable. The biggest threat to customers here is overly restrictive data caps - 20 gigs/month is not a usable quantity even if it's delivered at 100mbit! It's likely that some degree of data cap, at least a soft/deprioritization cap, will always be a fixture of most RF based last-mile access. That's unfortunate but that will always be constrained to the frequencies available. There are some hard decisions there, and points to the need to have a definition of what a sufficient data cap is.

Realistically, if you want broadband with no data caps (or only "top 1% of all users" type caps such as most "no cap" urban/suburban residential ISPs use) then there would need to be actual fiber to the premises run everywhere. That's a rural electrification level project.. which we already mandated and paid for big chunks of with the incumbent telcos, then let them pocket the money and not build out the network. Sigh. It's probably too late to claw any of that back or enforce those old mandates, so we're stuck with finding other ways to do it. (And even those broken promises only covered part of the country to begin with..)
I used this tons for MJPEG streams.
Is there any reason to believe that Signal’s encryption has been compromised or that metadata harvesting is going on?
> What possible meaning did you place on it other than that?

The meaning is that I agree with you that your bad experience coloured your outlook. I don't think a single negative experience is a useful guide.

I do wish you the best of luck as you try new roles and advance in your career.
If they did have official APIs, that would mean that someone would eventually make use of them to make an Android client. And that would be absolutely unacceptable. /s
TBH if we want to see more services like stadia/geforce now or highier res streaming 50Mbps is not enough. Single stream in GFN can reach 50Mbps right now and that's only on 1080p60hz.

Rising bar won't hurt anyone and should force ISPs to create better infrastructure.
I did a minor in neuro and had a very similar experience. Fascinating and useful but it was always slightly alarming when the professor would answer a question with "I don't know.. no one knows. That is far beyond the limits of our capabilities to know." A reminder that scientists really do work at the edge of ignorance!
I doubt you can make a free country out of a pile of greedy people who also want to control others. It's not just India, it's like that almost everywhere today: a bunch of sociopaths at the top, the clueless crowd in the middle who will support anything and anyone, and a minority of freedom seekers at the bottom. Eventually, the stream of evolution will wash the greedy and lazy out, but that will take tens of thousands of years.
Element is my only messaging client and I don't really understand the "reliability" comments.

Sure it has momentary downtime with the official matrix.org servers for maybe a minute but this is why we should pursue setting up smaller servers for our social groups in the long run.

I can't think of anything as unreliable as the multiple days of downtime Signal had.
I do not disagree with a single sentence in your comment, except what is implied but not stated in the last one.

I am willing to be convinced with data that about half of the Indian population support the current events, but haven't encountered any such. Note, only around 60% voted. I will happily agree that at the time of elections around 50% of the 60% that voted was in favor of the BJP led coalition.

A person with a conservative belief system and a IT cell operation coordinator are different things altogether. I have spotted the latter on HN. If you look at their comment stream you will see them claiming that they are hindu in one that they are muslim in another. Yes its possible they converted in the middle but the prior for that is low.
Imagine a train network operator who says: we cannot say how long a trip will take with 100% accuracy, therefore we are not going to tell you at all. And evwn more evil: on the trains they blind the windows and rob you of every clue that would tell you where you are and how fast you are going.

This would be pretty uncomfortable.

What train riders (and users) are interested in is how long a thing should take in principle as well as clues about whether they are on track. When reality differs from that it is ok, as long as the ETA is somewhat in the ballpark area of the actual time of arrival.
I'd like to differentiate between "untouched" and "undamaged".
They have nothing to do with each other though. Alinea isn't really involved in tech... They have a Tock but that's it.

The groups owner is the CEO of Tock, but I don't think that means that Alinea itself (and its name) is heavily invested in tech.
> Any idea why they built this to go straight to Google rather than just exporting in a standard format for Google to upload?

I'm of the (perhaps cynical) view that Apple is only doing this to satisfy their legal obligations under the GDPR, and GDPR requires direct transfer.
>> "I" experience things all day long every day, and "I" assume "you" do too.

> Not all day long. Right at the start of the day, when I've just finished sleeping, when I'm awake, but I haven't yet figured out where I am, or what day it is, or what I've got on today, or anything. It's a lovely, easy feeling. ... In those few moments before all that data is mounted, there is no "I".

You have just described the "I" of awareness perfectly! That is the true, indeed only, "I", the one who is aware of all the temporary, passing phenomena, whether they be thoughts, feelings, sensations, perceptions, etc.
> When I have to explain something to people who don't know all the specialist terms, I like to state things in terms of concrete real-world examples.

Yeah I do tend to do that too, but I'm also wary that concrete examples in this case tend to make people switch off their minds and think with their ideologies. It's a hard balance to strike - I usually try to concretise the example with an analogy if the topic is messy. But the failure to communicate successfully here is mine, so I'll try to clarify.

What I mean is that the media props up the narrative of its audience. A concrete example is the idea of cultural norms. So to concretise the parent I was originally replying to:

> And it's not just a question of generalization, but a question of whose stories get told through the media. Whose lifestyles make it into the "lifestyle" section.

becomes:

> the media promotes WASPy values, lifestyle sections promote very "white" lifestyles

So my point was that yes, they do, because it sells, because most of their audience is white and share those cultural values - and that is because that is the biggest audience segment available. Hence large WASP-cultural population => media wants large audience => media targets WASP-cultural audience => everywhere you look, WASP cultural standards are promoted. The norm is reflected and promoted by the media. Role models are mostly white and represent WASP values.

But where in a modernist setting, these values are treated as ideals to live up to (and thus that if you have different norms, you'd better shape up), in a postmodern context the idea of "objectively best" cultural norms breaks down because people simply disperse into their own groups with their own media that reflect their own norms. Every groups creates an echo chamber where there is no competing narrative because they shut it out.

My criticism of progressivism is that it hasn't abandoned the idea of a central narrative, and instead of creating parallel media is mostly concerned with reforming the old media to represent every cultural bloc, ie tokenism. Also for confusing race with culture.
I honestly believe matrix will become the go to for (federated) messaging everywhere. The element client has much improved and matrix is continuing to get better.
This is the kind of Chomskyism that leads to nowhere.

You can take the criticism to the letter, so that "no other society" is true because the total of the exact characterization matches only one society, and is thus a tautology. Or you read it more generally, and then the claim that no other society is as indoctrinated is absurd.
I had a friend who implemented what he referred to as Zeno's Progress Bar. After every unit of time passed, the progress bar would progress half the distance to completion. So 0 -> 50% -> 75% -> 87.5% and when the task finished it would jump to 100%. It didn't bother to measure the actual progress at all. Key factor was making users think something was happening and not give up before it was done. In hindsight, it leverages the human's susceptibility to the sunk time fallacy.

They may not have been the first to invent the idea or implement it. I found this description of the same idea here: https://cerealnumber.livejournal.com/27537.html

and an online implementation and demo here:

There are companies that keep purchased brands for years and years. Costs may go up as it becomes "legacy", but corporations do what makes sense.

To assume any product/brand is going to exist indefinitely is unrealistic unless you as a customer have that in your contract (and even then mergers break this routinely).
Interesting read. I've spent a lot of time thinking about ttfb in the browser and have enjoyed exploring the space of web performance "hacks". Obviously people are thinking about measurements like this for mobile apps too, it's just not an area I read about a lot
Ditto on using this opportunity for a design and brand change, the purple is overwhelming and even the name for a mass market brand is tough IMO. Do you pronounce it Ah-lean-ah? A-lin-euh? A-lien-ah? Not obvious and if you're thinking about leaning on WOM its a tough word because people might hear it and google 'alina' and miss you entirely
The topic is kind of broad but to focus on standups, I have a couple of firm beliefs:

- Standups don't need to be daily - it's too much. Twice a week is okay (this can be adjusted depending on team/product dynamics).

- They shouldn't consist of everyone telling everyone else what they're working on. This practice is boring and useless to anyone who is present. (If you want to check what I'm working on, log into the issue tracking system and look at the tickets against my name.) Instead, standups should focus on pieces of work that need to be delivered or that need to change status.
That theory does not pass Occam's razor.
I also want to add the Utopia p2p https://u.is/ application to this list. It is an all-in-one application, in addition, it guarantees anonymity and complete security of personal data. Unfortunately, so far there is only a desktop version, but I have never used Slack from a mobile phone. Well, plus this app is free.
Yes. This is another way of saying, 'recovery.' It's a little buried because of the writer's insistence on micro-quoting Powell. But the overall message Powell is sending is that 2020 prices were depressed and that we will see a correction in the short term.

Prices for a lot of goods -- gas, travel, hotel, etc -- have been in the dumps since COVID. It should be expected that prices on these goods will rise as the country opens up.

There will probably be a good deal of pressure on labor prices as well. I suspect that many people in the hospitality and service industries have changed careers rather than sit around indefinitely waiting for a 'reopening'.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Communism

You seem to be speaking of communism, not socialism.

> The motivating force behind socialism is envy. Nobody is allowed to have something that somebody else doesn't have.

You also appear to be grossly misunderstanding motivations. The general motivation is not that existing imbalance is some sort of sin, but rather that the imbalance, by nature, slides further and further out of control.

> not for their personal gain.

Arguments about working for personal gain and accumulation of wealth mean little to working class individuals that work mostly for survival and to accumulate their employer's wealth. Individuals (especially those supporting families) living paycheck to paycheck, with no financial mobility or leverage, are surely not seeing freedom in the system or even a path to get there.
NFTs for video games objects (such as guns in Counter-Strike):

1. Can be traded on the chain the publisher integrated in their game,

2. Can be limited in numbers based on random drops, such that the publisher will not have infinite "printing" privilege,

3. Will require the wallet connected to your account in the game,

4. Owning the digital file permits the owner to actually use the item.

I don't see digital ownership for video games NFTs as unfeasible, nor bullshit.
I agree! I'm an uber-networking geek and I've been happy with the slowest offered cable modem speeds. Sometimes as cheap as $20-$25/month. I've had 5mb download speeds (1mb up) for a house with two people, watching netflix while we both browsed/youtubed/etc (pfsense with qos rate limiting the chromecast to the resolution and bandwidth that I chose). Being happy with 480/720p helps.

I'd rather be able to buy guaranteed minimums from the cable company than have higher "up to" speeds. Like frame relay used to be. Let me buy a 100mb access port with a guaranteed minimum rate for my zoom/voice/whatever traffic, even if that's just a few mb/s.

I assume that the cable companies would rather overcharge us for faster higher advertised speeds than commit to guaranteed service levels.
Ethereum and Bitcoin Cash have already surpassed bitcoin in transaction throughput. If anyone has spent millions on propaganda it is the people pushing the second layer on bitcoin's crippled transaction throughput.
Also add; limited housing development.

Most new housing development after the war was gotten by turning farmlands and nature into single family houses. A lot of places have reached the limits of how far one can expand and run into some combination of geographical barriers, legal barriers (e.g. protected park or farmlands), or the barrier posed by time (most people have an upper limit of how long they are willing to commute.)

The next logical step in density, subdivision of existing lots and/or intensifying into homes that accommodate two, three, four families in a place where a single family house stood, is pretty much illegal on most residential parcels in the US. Pre-zoning, neighborhoods were free to densify as they desired, so even in older single family neighborhoods there are sprinklings of slightly more intense development. But in 2021 zoning reform is hotly contested because people feel like they should have control over what their neighbors do with their land, and the overall result is that there isn’t too much developable land left.
