I think Americans tend to smile all the time because they don't want to appear hostile to someone who is very likely to carry a gun. That's why they also don't have funny offensive chants in football and are not very good in general banter, they are just afraid to offence somebody by accident.
For me, the cost would be the loss of ecosystem— log collection, monitoring, cores + rr recordings, being able to connect with gdb and/or sniff around the live system from a familiar userland, etc.

These concerns are reduced when you're at the thousands-of-machines scale since at that point you probably already have a somewhat hand-rolled solution for this kind of thing anyway.
Engineering a virus, in the sense that you're talking about, is not what was meant. Allowing the virus to naturally mutate in an animal host, over thousands of generations, will get you to the same endpoint. This is gain of function research, the whole point is to find out if the virus could naturally evolve some feature you are interested in. Engineering it to do so would defeat the point.
How’s that working for Dropbox? They aren’t exactly a shining example of moving from the cloud and becoming extremely profitable. They still haven’t made a GAAP profit.

Like Jobs said, Dropbox is a feature not a product.

For the same price you pay for Dropbox and 2TB, you can get the full Office 365 suite plus 6TB of storage or the entire GSuite.

And do you have multiple redundant DCs? Are all of your database writes duplicated 6x across three DCs like Aurora?
Wow. It's really become that lucrative.

Unbelievable.
Context switching also helps in the real world.
This is just direct a interpretation of the law. You should be upset with Australian legislature for creating this type of laws not with courts that are tasked with interpreting it.

There is however the possibility they are merely incompetent and genuinely don't appreciate the difficulty implicit in the scope of what they've set out to do.
I had both the original Pebble and the Pebble Time. The battery life, always-on screen, and readability in the sun made for an incredibly useful experience. After my Pebble Time broke, rather than switching to another smart watch I got a simple "dumb" watch.

Frankly I don't think I'll wear another smart watch that isn't a Pebble, which means I don't think I'll get another smart watch.
Most qubit designs use high- and low-energy states to encode binary values. In that regime, there is a reason to avoid 3-level systems: the energy gaps are hard to tune, and controlling the coupling between them is even harder.

Pebble was a lot of fun for tech people who wanted a minimalistic watch, but the Apple Watch is in a different league altogether. The two aren't really comparable.

There may be a niche market for low power, hackable, e-ink watches with minimal functionality, but the size of that market is orders of magnitudes small than what companies like Apple are addressing.

Pebble ultimately fizzled out because the demand just wasn't there. It might be possible for an indie company to make something similar if they focus on staying lean and small, but it's difficult to cater to niche audiences with small TAMs where the barrier to entry gets lower every year.
I'm going to miss my Pebble when it finally dies. Still wearing my Kickstarter Pebble Time. One thing it did well was be a watch first, as opposed to a small phone on your wrist. Depending on your needs/expectations those are very different wearable experiences. Sure the nice OLED is great, but clearly that comes at the cost of battery life. This is especially notable if you use to wear dumb watches.
because it feels free.

just in case.

i hope we all learn what good digital hygiene is.
Author here: I agree that what you're describing, if developers act that way it is really annoying.

My intention of the article was to give a good visual of the complexity that gets built up while coding and some tips for how I've helped myself focus better.

It wasn't intended to come off as whining, it was more to help me recognize that there is a great deal of complexity that happens and it's easy for me to avoid facing complexity by doing less intense work.

3 of the 4 tips were targeted towards things I can do to protect myself, from well, myself. I'm my worst enemy when it comes to interruptions.

My other tip was how teams can work together to make sure an interruptions is worth it.

I'm certain, like you say, the need for flow or focus is not unique to developers, but can apply to many knowledge workers.
> Why would someone have ECC without a sufficiently sophisticated driver?

Have you, personally, tested your servers to make sure the driver correctly handles bit errors? Can't say I have.
> Thou shalt study thy libraries and strive not to re-invent them without cause,
that thy code may be short and readable and thy days pleasant and productive.

Just reading through the list of names of libraries in a package manager is more than I can handle, let alone reading through their APIs. I imagine this was a bit more possible to do in the 80s. Still though, I wish there was a more manageable way to handle this.
One of the few things I used my smart-ish watch for is tracking my sleep.

Without a large screen and turning off all notifications, I get about 3-4 weeks of battery with my current watch. Personally I rarely take it off.

I’d like at least a week of battery if I were to adopt any other smart watch. For me personally, I enjoy thinking less about the battery of a device that I mostly use for passive personal data collection and telling the time.
$3 as a one-time payment doesn't seem like it will meaningfully impact Twitter's earnings.

I wonder if they are doing this to increase the value of their ads shown to people willing to pay: if someone is willing to pay $3 for minor aesthetic improvements they are much more valuable advertising targets than the general population.
You must not care about sleep tracking? That's why I find battery life annoying on the apple watch, it always runs out by the end of the day. Luckily, it does charge really fast so 30 min before falling asleep and its back on.
I use it on my Ryzen PC, but I am also running ZFS, and I'm a little paranoid about using my data.

This is one anecdote, though, so it's probably not useful. But people using ECC on Ryzen do exist.
No problems here either. Lately I just wear it in the shower and charge it for a while when I sit down at my desk to work. It charges fast enough and I don't miss out on any activity tracking while I'm typing away at my desk.

I plug my phone in to charge at the same time. It's really not a big deal.

The only time it might matter is if I was doing a weekend camping trip or something, at which point the connected features of the Apple watch are less useful and a minimalistic Garmin would make more sense.

What blows me away is how often a reporter/author/expert will reply. Sometimes even super informally — I’ve gotten great restaurants recommendations from people I’ve just respected from afar previously. Extremely humanizing experience.
I found out that my ISP, which was bought out several times, is folding service in my area. Goodbye, some co-lo. And so now I have to make the choice between Charter and AT&T. This seems like a no brainer but I need an 8-block of static IPs (yes, I know about dynamic DNS and VPNs) and apparently you cannot get static IPs on a home fiber account with AT&T.

I suppose I will have to pay, because my base feeling is anything but Charter.
Ok, and I'm all for making fun of anything and everything, but what happens when you mock the other side?

When the conversation completely breaks down, violence is the remaining option, and we shouldn't be surprised people go down what they perceive as the only remaining possibility. We need empathy now more than ever.
This. A smartwatch must be a watch first. A watch is small, always-on, and recharged rarely. Most smartwatches aren't - short batteries, screens that you have to shake to wake, and large.
But in the post I replied to, Applejinx made exactly that comparison. So don't blame me...

Discord mods.

Unfortunately bristling with power-hungry fantasies in my experience.

I've only known one mod of a discord that i actually liked, and I don't think he knew that he had mod privileges quite frankly.
DSL is an unfortunately low bar. Regardless, it's the only choice for tons of people so your experience is encouraging.
I’m T1 diabetic and use my watch for monitoring my glucose levels. I wear it 100% of the time, aside from showering when it charges. Charging quickly and having a minimum of 24hrs of charge is really important to me. Apple Watch hits both of those.
In this case it is just a fairly direct interpretation of the law.

> The objects of the EPBC Act include providing for the protection of the environment, especially those aspects of the environment that are matters of “national environmental significance”: s 3(1)(a).

An impressive startup in the UK in this space was Wrapidity.

It is my favourite university spinout story here on this side of the pond.
Alright, well, I guess you don't want what I have to offer, so, have fun on your own.
The base position taken in some countries of not providing bailouts, or bailouts above a certain limit, to companies who carried out stock buybacks or issued dividends was fantastic in my opinion, because it makes situations like this extremely bad for the company.

Of cause a company would want to give huge bonuses to execs who manage to pull in a huge amount of money from the state, that's great for the company. Why should a company care if executives are being rewarded or are being selfish if it also benefits the company and owners overall?

But with the exception to the aid, that would only be possible if the same execs brutally punished the stock owners, which would obviously put them in bad light for being selfish and not just doing good for the company.

I mean, sure the Apple Watch is "years ahead". It not only came out two years later, but is developed by one of the most wealthy consumer tech/software companies in the world. Pebble was acquired by FitBit right around the time the second iteration of the Apple Watch was out, so there's really not much point in comparing the two in terms of technology.

Despite Apple Watch's merits over the Pebble, I still miss my Pebble watches. The thing I actually miss the most is the physical buttons, so I can switch the currently-playing song with my watch without having to look at it. Having nearly all interaction with the Apple Watch being a touch screen is one big downside IMO -- still something it hasn't really "beaten" vs. Pebble Watch :)
The submitted title blatantly breaks the site guidelines, which ask "Please use the original title, unless it is misleading or linkbait; don't editorialize.". It is a no-brainer of standard HN moderation that we would change it immediately, as you can see from countless previous examples (and these are just the ones I posted about):

https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&que...

https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&que...

https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&que...

When readers email about a title complaining that it's breaking the rules (as happened with this one), you know it's bad. However, I don't think I'm going to change it, even though it shamelessly distorts the article's meaning and adds extra linkbait on top.

The reason I'm not inclined to change it is that we moderate HN less, not more, when a story is about YC or a YC-funded startup. That's explained here: https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=false&qu.... More on that elsewhere in this thread: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27321978.
Can someone explain why overwork kills people? I'm curious, maybe there's a way to work 70 hour weeks without harming your health? (I.e possibly overwork is correlated with lack of sleep / exercise, which are the real dangers, not the work itself).
A key skill of con-artists is being able to make yourself resemble someone competent. If you go back to 5 years ago, YC probably wasn't on the radar for con artists yet, but starting about then, it was becoming clear that VCs had more money than there were good companies to fund. We are now seeing the results.

Basically none of that is consensus breaking. And I acknowledged the potential of a deep reorg leading to needless network downtime. In the author of the article’s opinion, this deep reorg would’ve resulted in utter chaos, which seems hyperbolic to me. Regardless, how does that disprove the existence of a fork ranking protocol in Bitcoin?
>The alternative is a slowdown in research and development since now the research you paid millions for in payroll and time can now be copied by your competitor with one or two engineers.

I'm not going to argue regarding the merit of IP laws, but most analysis indicates that market players ignore most intellectual property, and that replication costs for technology are roughly 60-70% of the cost of the initial research. So you spend a bit more, but end up with a first mover advantage; in network-effect or capital intensive industries, these normally end up being determinative of overall success.

But layer that on with other R&D incentives placed in the market. Canadian SR&ED credits subsidize research costs by 15-35%, for instance, so the total delta between first mover and copy-cat implementations drops further.

The assumption that IP laws actually increase R&D rates is NOT something that is shown by the academic literature.

I lived in Russia for a year and yes, they speak much faster in Russian than English. In particular if they are between just Russians and know they don't need to speak slowly to be understood. But I think it's the same for every language, people speak faster in their mother tong.
Not that I'm suggesting you should send Apple money: but it's like £0.79 per month for 50gb - less than £10/year. For me at least: that's pretty cheap compared to other services.
Seems obvious that the CFO was the main driver of the raid against the states, also in a position to easily blow up everything, so he takes the majority stake of the pillaging.
I'm in the same boat. I got the LTE connected Apple watch and I absolutely LOVE it. I leave my phone AND my wallet at home pretty much everywhere I go now. If I get a phone call, or a text, I answer it with my watch.

I have phone, text, apple pay, music (spotify, pandora), maps, and so much more. Probably the only thing I miss is a browser to google something. But that's pretty rare that I need that.

The best part is that all of these apps work natively, without the phone nearby, entirely over LTE or WiFi.

Seriously if you hate carrying around a big phone, get an LTE connected Apple watch. It's a game changer.
Agreed on the haptics, a literal nightmare device with them enabled. But without I find it keeps me less tethered to the phone, and able to check on calls and messages during a conversation without breaking the flow

You missed their meaning. They meant that taking your watch off overnight to charge it gets in the way of sleep tracking.

Edit: People aren't reading carefully. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27321770 clearly means what I've stated and then the parent says that they must not have tried charging their watch at some other time.
More economic activity is shifting from meat space and onto our phones over time. Apple’s idea that they deserve a 30% cut of “economic activity that happens on an iDevice” will appear ever more expansive.

During the pandemic, when fitness classes shifted to virtual video sessions, Apple demanded a 30% cut because what was once an offline “delivery of the goods” became online and iPhone -facilitated. What’s so dystopian about this example is that a virtual gym session is not too different from any kind of remote work.

Under the “value is delivered over an iDevice” philosophy, Apple’s tax can take a bite from nearly any plate in the economy.
Are those messages queryable in Gmail?
What a joke. Google, Facebook and Microsoft have face wearables in the market already. In Google's case, they've had enough time to do a full, release and kill cycle. And the Quest runs Android.

We are not talking about physical attacks. Neither are we talking about attacks based purely on heating up the DRAM chips. The topic here is a remote attacker who can target specific words or bits to be flipped.
I'm curious, how do Russians determine someone is in a bad mood from body/face language? In the US I can tell when my colleagues aren't happy the moment they walk in the room by their face. In Russia, do they have to speak in order for you to determine this or is there some other cue? Maybe if they smile?
A smartphone must be a phone first. A phone is large with a comfortable earpiece, has large easy-to-press physical numbers, and is plugged into the wall so it doesn't require recharging.

Nice tip, I started with something short - writing a screenshot utility:

Ed: i really enjoyed the video, but I feel it could have been even better (and shorter) if he used a proper debugger for the second part. But I don't know if that is available in the os.

The more I use a debugger, the more I realize I should use a debugger, and the earlier I should use a debugger.

Advice/directions to start early with a debugger might be the best part of Zed Shaws "Learn C the hard way". Eg:

https://github.com/zedshaw/learn-c-the-hard-way-lectures/blo...

(not a full featured chapter, but note that this is fairly early - exercise 4).

On a related note, it appears Shaw doesn't use the/any debugger at all in the ruby book, which is frankly quite crazy - ruby has great debuggers and repl. But that's a digression.

For a blog post that illustrate how one might do "debug driven" (or "debug first) development, see: https://nikhilism.com/post/2021/experiencing-smalltalk/

(Smalltalk and lisp does this very well - you can't AFAIK quite go that far with c++, but it's what all systems should aspire to, as a baseline (70s debug experience)

Not only that, but everybody now has one thing they can talk about with virtually anyone else, any stranger. One commonality.

What is years ahead? It has a better SoC than competing watches for sure but what's the point? I wouldn't be surprised if the first Apple Watch has a faster SoC than my Fenix 5 Plus but other than the time it takes for it to make up a random running route I don't really care because the device feels snappy. My Pebble felt snappy too. I think other than EKG (don't care about that) my Fenix has all the same sensors, GPS, NFC for payments, HR monitor, accelerometer, altimeter, WiFi, bluetooth etc. I do wish it was a little more open like Pebble to get some of those weird little apps back though.

To me, a power hungry OLED touch screen seems like doing the important things wrong. It's harder to see in the sun, doesn't work with gloves or when it's cold, you need to actually LOOK at it to do something like pause music or change the album.
