my top three are "elegant" "samurai" "oshiroi" because I grew up reading american manga

But yes, many people in america group "geisha" "oshiroi" and "kabuki" all sort of mix together into this image: https://geishakai.pl/wp-content/uploads/2017/12/HANAFUSA-240...

I would be more than happily to be pulled up to HR if a coworker reported me for saying "open kimono" (not a phrase I would normally say). I'm sure HR would have a wonderful time talking to my lawyer.

This. What’s your long-term business plan? If you plan to keep this business as a privately held enterprise in the long term, equity is basically useless and worthless. Are you planning to hand out equity to investors or employees? If not, this person would be one of a handful of shareholders. Unless you have a plan to sell the company or go public, then I would advise that you explain the situation to the salesperson and explain to them why they wouldn’t want equity.
I had a coworker a couple years ago who brought in his own chair (a Herman Miller Aeron). When we came in after a weekend it had been removed and replaced with a cheap, office special that was the default in the cubicles. After a couple days he found it. The facilities manager had moved it into a VPs office because it was an “executive” chair. He had to go through a couple levels of approval, a meeting, and get the chair tagged in order to keep it. Dystopian.
Ask HN: How do you guys work on your computers?
Im trying to learn more about how people work on their computers i.e - daily workflows, what do they consist of(browser tabs, applications, docs etc).
I don’t agree that writing code is the easy part. Making changes to and maintaining a huge code base is no joke.
They're standard cell logic designs (so ASICs, but what you get from letting the tooling just create a chip from the HDL more or less) that haven't had a lot of work put into power management compared to similar chips like nrf5x. They're not hard configured FPGAs. Which makes sense, as their original target was as a SDIO WIFI chip for a much larger, power hungry system, not a standalone device.
I've been pushing to run ALL servers as UTC for a few decades now... always store/transmit date+time as UTC as well. If it's mapped to a locale, pair it with that locale... let the client translate to/from local.

File sync is pretty separate from the shell IMO, unless your shell is an OS, which can be argued for I guess, but I wouldn't.
You’re going off topic.
It is just a tool to track data.

Maybe the simple answer here is that people don't want to use the same tools they use at work all year for planning what is supposed to be a escape from work?

Also...one of my favorite parts of travel is the spontaneity it affords me. I loath the idea of turning my free time into just another work day but with one-offs like "going to the museum" instead of "meeting with sales" embedded into some app....bleh!

Also...maybe no one has been creative enough to crack the problem yet, and someday someone will finally come up with a piece of software that is useful in this domain.
That’s my thought every time someone creates yet-another HN reader. Sure, you were interested mostly in the stack you’re learning. But there are endless opportunities with similar scope where you might end up creating something actually useful.

For inspiration, Wikipedia is rich reservoir of repetitive tasks to fix minor issues that would be easier with a task-specific GUI for review.
Yeah, you'd need a longer field for maximum correctness for sure. Reminds me of the RFC 822 regex for validating an email address [1] (clocking in at a full page, although now there are simpler ones you can use).

I tend to think that there is a point where you trade off some correctness for pragmatism. It is true that you could have a user with a 250 character email address, but in a lot of years I've never really seen a legitimate one, and the likelihood is that if you do see one then it's someone doing something weird as opposed to a legitimate customer.

Email is actually one that you might want to just leave as `TEXT` and make sure you're validating with a package, which is something you might want to do anyway. However, I still think it serves as a useful example because most people have a good feel for about how long an email address is.

Mmm, I used a Thunderbolt (T530 I believe) for 2 years without opening it at all, I just had two dock stations at work and at home. So it was pretty much desktop replacement.
But it was as proprietary as Thunderbolt.

USB-C would be much better.
Job done well enough that internal emails at Apple said, "the #1 most difficult [reason] to leave the Apple universe app is iMessage"?

Come on. Apple's VP of software engineering would not be debating Android support in internal emails if SMS worked "perfectly well".
Bad B2C idea because Most people travel occasionally and at that point they could just do it on email/whatsapp groups.

Fair enough.

But, then i also see how someone starting as B2C will easily be able to pivot towards B2B, and sell to thousands of travel agencies selling tours to people. These companies are planning travel (for customers) everyday, multiple times. A SW like this will really help them with with saving time, resources and communicate better with customers.

So not such a bad idea after all.
I always thought it was grocery delivery or mail-order pet supplies.

Indeed. You should read some of these reports. It sounds like you haven’t.
If someone gets the vaccine and dies the next day, sure it is very possible it is not the cause. But it should be reported. And when many people have the same symptoms after a vaccine, it becomes a common side effect.
>I’ve never seen accusations of people being “Jewish nationalist” or “Christian nationalist” or “Muslim nationalist” for expressing wishes their kids will marry within the religious “nations”.

Oh, it absolutely happens. We have whole flame-wars about it.

I've been tinkering with HomeAssistant and ESP8266s to

- control our garage door via HA

- integrate our offline stereo receiver with Spotify

- automate our outdoor irrigation using a solenoid valve and HA automation

It's immensely satisfying and really fun.
Really interesting how 1984 actually underestimated the level and capabilities of invasive tracking tech. Instead of having the government force it on us, we just happily install it as the next new upgrade.

I'm curious if any of the dystopian sci-fi works actually thought that, instead of the government forcing down and subduing a potentially unruly populace, that they'd basically use "creeping brainwashing" to actually get the populace to demand more top-down control (e.g. how so many Chinese internet users are vehemently pro-government).
I have been using Firefox when Firefox 2 came out many years ago. Each time it was updated there were always a few minor complaints. My complaint about Firefox 92 us the ridiculous space between bookmarks in Firefox v92 Bookmarks!!!
Yes, pretty much everything is like that: explained in terms of their web services wrapper, not the actual messages sent on the wire. And if you want to log the SOAP messages going back & forth, you have to implement a weird listener class to get them. Microsoft came late to TCP/IP and the web because of their contempt for open, text-based network protocols, and you can still sense it in their products. For instance the C# web client is able to upload mime-encoded files, but the form data name must be `file`. It can't be `photo`. Let alone `photo1` in the same request as `photo2` or a bunch of photos named `user[photos][]`. And you should try reading the Stack Overflow answers for making Powershell print a raw HTTP conversation the way `curl -v` can.

On the other hand, if you do understand the underlying network protocols and can read them (and find ways to view what is happening), it is like a super power.
No - the part of the product implicitly discussed above does not. We don't really have any intentions of running our services on piles of macbooks at the moment.

That said, we do have an iOS client which is intended to run on such classes of devices. I loathe the fucker so much (dev experience is garbage) but our customers like it a lot so... here we are. 99% of the complexity lives on the server, so the app is not a daily struggle. We also have a UWP client, but it has its own set of "difficulties" that I won't get into at the moment.

At some point I want to try to build a pure HTML5/canvas solution that can be served from a cheap-ass linux box and consumed by any device with a reasonable web browser implementation.

The answer was about to be a plain-and-simple NO when the Census would separate "White" for European from MENA. And then they cancelled that because people decided Trump couldn't be trusted with knowing some people weren't of European descent.

Would love to see some strong sources for this strong claim...
They wouldn't make decent dirty bombs. The stuff in the bomb is only going to hurt you if you inhale it--and it's heavy enough that it's going to be very hard to inhale.

Dirty bombs basically just make a mess, they are not a realistic threat.
It's weird to read all the complaints about how bad https://msdn.microsoft.com/ is. For quite some time all the documentation including what was known as MSDN is now on https://docs.microsoft.com/.

While I'm sure the complaints are valid (or was in the MSDN days) I believe Microsoft is putting a lot of effort behind these pages. You can provide feedback on pages that will result in a GitHub issue being created. You can even make pull requests.

While it's possible to provide feedback not all areas seem to process this feedback in a timely manner which of course is frustrating. However, the good parts (like .NET) are very good.
Would you be willing to pay 30% more? Why not let people choose how they wish to pay. If you like that UX and are willing to pay for it, app developers should be able to offer it along with cheaper alternatives.
I think the problem stems from 2 major parts.

A lot of times the people writing the code & designing the APIs for the complex parts of AWS, Java, .NET, Spanner, etc... are highly-technical and not exactly highly articulate.

And even the ones that are highly articulate usually have trouble figuring out who exactly their audience is and what their audience knows and to what degree they need to explain things.

And even the select few programmers who are good at this, run into another set of problems. The language they use amongst themselves is usually highly technical (because it reduces confusion and speeds up communication). However, many of the readers of the documentation aren't going to understand a lot of these terms or concepts. The language needs dumbed down.

Because this is time consuming and requires a lot of thought - the documentation is usually written by technical writers. While these people are usually good at figuring out the audience and how best to communicate with the audience - they have their own unique way of writing (for clarity) that usually causes the documentation they produce to feel non-concise and sometimes not even clear.

I think a good example of this is the Apigee documentation: https://cloud.google.com/apigee

After reading the page - I only have the vaguest idea of what it actually does and I have almost no idea when I should use it and when I shouldn't or how it actually works (which, tbf, probably isn't important at this stage).
The diagram has 3 input companies and 3 output companies, so at a surface level it seems nothing has changed. Even Google Fiber couldn’t compete with the big guys because (at least partially) these utility companies are so entrenched in lobbying etc.

I don’t doubt the break-ups are effective in the short term, but the long-term behavior in this case seems to be less affected.
Total premiums would only go up if total losses go up. Simply disclosing more data would not cause total losses to go up.

Insurance pricing is very competitive and if one company raised premiums without experience by more losses, another would come in and offer insurance at a lower price.
Use vertical tab, or another whitespace or field separator character, like EOF etc. Generally something a modern keyboard won't be entering, and won't generally be transmitted over the wire.
When you consider the Pareto nature of app store earnings, Apple's best move was to wait and be forced to make the change.
Ex-Danish resident here.

Denmark is a wonderland for issues like this where people need to come together and trust the government to do the right thing.

Simply put, people have a lot of trust in the government to do the right thing(rightly so because the government and its policy making are very transparent). There is exceptionally high level of social trust in the society and people generally stand up for the greater good.

Their immigration policies on the other hand is the polar opposite of being sane.
I trashed my Microtik router as soon as I started seeing my bandwidth jump and a lot of traffic from Isreal a few years ago. There was no mitigation of whatever was going on and clearly there were issues...turns out Microtik's RouterOS had multiple vulnerabilities. Ubiquiti on the other hand has been more than adequate for my needs and is even easier to setup than Microtik.

That's usually just an excuse. For example, that issue can be addressed in a more budget-friendly way by simply adding a few temporary meeting rooms. Need to discuss a confidential concern? Just book it.

The real reason is that it's harder to find quality c-suite candidates who would accept an open office. Since stockholders care so much about the quality of leadership (rightly), companies usually spare no expense in enticing the best candidates.
There are downsides to this. The early parts of my resume read like a list of major software project disasters of the 1990s. Among other things, I worked on Taligent OS and WorkplaceOS. (Never heard of them? That's my point.)

As a result of chasing interesting problems (and a stint as a university sysadmin), my salary history led me to be significantly underpaid for most of my career.
I can't speak to where it stands in the current legal framework, but personally I don't think the vendor of any product should have any rights to determine how it's used once the customer has paid for it.
It seems theoretically possible for Apple to reject an app with a hostile cancellation policy without requiring that they use Apple as a payment processor.
You can already buy stuff from the Amazon app using your existing Amazon payment method. All of this controversy is about in-app purchases of digital content.
From Epic CEO Tim Sweeney from NYT article[1]:

Tim Sweeney, Epic’s chief executive, said on Twitter that he was not satisfied with the ruling because it did not go far enough in allowing companies to complete in-app transactions with their own payment systems, versus having to direct customers to outside websites. He said Fortnite would not return to the App Store until such rules were in place.

“Today’s ruling isn’t a win for developers or for consumers,” he said. “We will fight on.”

I like this a lot! I use it for friends/colleagues who are too intimidated by the CLI. The old YouTube-dl GUI was abandoned and isn’t something I can recommend and the best fronted, Downie, is Mac only and costs money.

Also, the dev is looking at subbing youtube-dlp for youtube-dl, as it is more frequently updated and supported.

In my personal experience, the only time when the top reply and the accepted answer differ is when the answer has become obsolete over time.

E.g.

Q: "How do I do X in JS?" in 2010

A1 (100 votes, accepted): "Use jQuery function jX()" (2011)

A2 (300 votes): "Since 2015, the standard function jX2() is supported in all major browsers. [link to caniuse.com]" (2016)
Freedom is not a boolean, it is a scale and google offers more than apple at the moment.
Ironically the pixel devices are one of the few where bootloaders are unlocked in the US and you can flash a customer google free rom.
Assuming there is no hardware based surveillance this is as close to free as we can get at the moment.
Maybe I'm wrong on this point then but the few times I've tried to Powershell in the past I had issues piping commands together because some commands expected text while others expected a .NET object and it all felt terribly like working in Delphi again with the type system actively working against you (I'm exaggerating a little here, love Pascal, but hopefully you get my point).

Don't get me wrong, I love strongly typed languages. But when you're using the CLI you want a language that is optimised for ease and working with CLI tools and Powershell functions wasn't easy.

But as I said, I might have been doing something wrong. And if that's the case I'll make sure I don't repeat that comment in the future :)

Thank you for the information and conversation.
> Also, any civilization capable of harnessing the amount of energy needed for interstellar travel would have long ago destroyed themselves if they hadn't outgrown violent competition over resources.

If you replace inter-stellar with inter-continental, that might just be something that a (misguided) Aztec wise man would say when he met Cortez.
> I think the minimal viable HUD is quite minimal, because most of the value is in the "Heads Up" rather than the "Display."

You're thinking of AR, while the parent is talking about VR. They're pretty different use cases, and some of those VR use cases need significantly high resolutions to unlock.
I can't find exact distributions, but the average ago for nurses and the average age for doctors are the same. Around 51 years old. Seems like poor argument to use.

At the end of the day, doctors and medical researchers are producing the highest quality opinions on the subject. If you're not following their lead, then you are very likely in the wrong.

Are they sometimes wrong? Absolutely. But the key point: to think that you are more likely to be correct is absurd.
The Mentorship Diamond
I love IMGUIs but you have to be careful with the to get them to play nice with the event loop. If you're using it for a game where you're drawing every frame anyways, they're great. But for something that the user might keep running alongside other apps they can be a cpu/memory hog. You can of course only process/redraw when an event happens but that can be easier said than done sometimes.
Except you can't purchase Kindle/Audible content.
My opinion, i obviously have no data.

But every single thread on CCP in particular gets overloaded with pro-china comments which use classic troll tactics. Often taking stances like for instance on privacy that are 180 from almost every other non CCP thread.

False comparisons, whataboutism, etc. I just have a hard time believing some of the more extreme stuff; like if someone really does have such a crazy opposite worldview where they think oppression and interment of millions is acceptable for whatever <excuse> among other stuff. Maybe my hard time believing is just a naive misunderstanding of the world but it rubs me wrong.

And lots of downvotes - which seems to go against HN spirit it's not reddit to downvote what you disagree with.
Somebody hasn't learned how to love big brother yet.
I would say not quite as convenient, because they lean on that UI to also make you constantly confirm top-1 commands that would've worked fine. As you can see in my Conformer demo video I can hit top-1 so reliably I don't even need to wait to look at the command before I start saying the next one.
If you're making less than $1M/y, its 15% ( https://www.apple.com/newsroom/2020/11/apple-announces-app-s... )

If you're going through PayPal ( https://www.paypal.com/us/webapps/mpp/merchant-fees ), a $0.99 micro transaction is $5% + 0.09. That's $0.14 which is about 15%. It also means you get things like PayPal deciding to not release the money it holds for some reason.

At that point, for the small developer, it appears to be a wash for how much you're making. Yea, this goes down if you've got bigger IAPs. It also goes up if its an international transaction.

Furthermore, it means that you (the developer) needs to manage your own IAP system. Website with 100% uptime? User accounts and passwords (more friction to creating the account to purchase the IAP)? Network connectivity issues (can a solo game be played off network)?
