I've never met someone before that cares about cpu fan noise. Genuinely. It never bothers me so I have never thought about it. Perhaps also because my workflow involves playing music when I work to make me more productive.
Another motivation behind the change seems to be to treat all countries equally. Previously, some countries (such as Norway and Sweden) with equal timezones since 1970, but differing timezones before 1970 got their own zone, while other countries in the same situation (such as Angola and Niger) shared a zone.

The controversial solution to this is that all places with equal timezones since 1970 have been merged to share a single zone with the pre-1970 history of the largest place in that zone (which might not be valid for the whole zone). There are backward-compatibility links provided so that the old zone names still work, and there was a pre-existing build option to include all known (but incomplete) pre-1970 data, which splits the zones again.

Opponents of that change argue that instead of consolidating currently-alike zones, every currently-existing country should get their own zone with the pre-1970 history of the largest place in that zone (which, again, might not be valid for the whole zone). To do this correctly would of course require someone to volunteer the pre-1970 data for zones that would be split, which notably no one seems to have done yet.

What's most remarkable to me as an outsider is about how incredible niche the usecase where this makes a difference is: you have to be interested in pre-1970 timestamps, but build tzdb without enabling the pre-1970 historic data.
This is interesting. Can you please elaborate with an example?
But why? Putting a SDR in a laptop seems counterproductive from an electrical and radio interference POV. The USB2/3 ports are the option to plug in a software defined radio. Unless you mean some pcie interface top end SDR, in which case you probably have the money to throw around to get this custom.

Honest question: what’s the benefit of cataloguing books? I’m surprised so many people do it.

I have 3 tall bookshelves of books but don’t really feel the need to catalogue them. I sort them by topic and sometimes physical size and it seems fine.
You can't really store bulk hydrogen nearly as easily as natural gas, liquid fossil fuels, or coal. Hydrogen is less volumetrically efficient, leaks out faster, and causes embrittlement in common alloys.

So many people (even here on HN) think that unions have lost their way and should be abolished because instead of focusing on their duties, they sometimes get involved in politics, through supporting one candidate over another, donating to a campaign, or hiring lobbyists. This example shows how necessary political action is if a union wants to bring real improvement for its members.

That's pretty much my experience with ebook readers years ago. I still love dead-tree books, but I find it easier to use the ebook reader in places I normally can't, or shouldn't:

- Reading in places without a lot of light. It is that or bring my headlamp.

- Travel, definitely, but also while running errands

- Reading while eating (not healthy)

- Reading while smoking (also not healthy ... )

- Trying to search for keywords in a book

Most recently, with having to help take care of an infant, I find myself unable to put in long, uninterrupted hours to read. It was easier to read a ebook on my phone or on my Kindle. And if my son spits up, it is easier to clean a device than it is my dead tree books.

However, I remember growing up with my father's library filling up an entire wall, and my mother regularly bringing my family out to the library. That's an experience I'd like my kids to have. I have a wall of books, though these days, I am much more mindful about curating them.

With RAM, the problem is more that high capacity LPDDR4 modules simply aren't available on SODIMMs.

However this is only because manufacturers don't make them. If Apple asked Micron or Samsung for them, I'm sure it would happen.

A better argument for non-replaceable RAM can be found in the Apple Silicon chips. Building the memory into the SoC provides very tangible performance and efficiency benefits.
Yep.
At this point in time it's the only choice.

Which is why things like experimental intervention involve contracts and disclaimers that you have been informed of the experimental nature, not guaranteed to help, blah blah blah.

I'll get a lot of hate for this (which is why I'm posting it long after this story was on page one), but Firefox is missing the writing on the wall. Now is the time to throw their weight behind becoming a Chromium fork like Brave, Vivaldi, and Opera.
Let's look at the facts:

1. They still have good brand recognition, for now.

2. They lack the engineering capability to keep Firefox on par with Chromium-based browsers.

The usual objection is "but browser diversity, Chromium browser monoculture, monocultures are bad". To that I say: Why aren't you complaining about the world's most popular operating system kernel, the one with zero forks and also zero serious open-source competitors, you may have heard of it, what was it called, oh yeah Linux.

Well, you also need to have reasonable demands if you want other people to support you.

>In February 1981, PATCO and the FAA began new contract negotiations. Citing safety concerns, PATCO called for a reduced 32-hour work week, a $10,000 pay increase for all air-traffic controllers and a better benefits package for retirement.[9] Negotiations quickly stalled. Then, in June, the FAA offered a new three-year contract with $105 million of up front conversions in raises to be paid in 11.4% increases over the next three years, a raise more than twice what was being given to other federal employees, “The average federal controller (at a GS_13 level, a common grade controller) earned $36,613, which was 18% less than private sector counterpart";[10] with the raise demanded, the average federal pay would have exceeded the private sector pay by 8%, along with better benefits and shorter working hours. However, because the offer did not include a shorter work week or earlier retirement, PATCO rejected the offer.[11]
Turn the question around:

Why would you think you have the arbitrary power to walk out on your job, and not have them let you go?

You 100% have the right to 'not show up at the auto shop to protest wages at the coffee shop' ... but it's a little odd to think that they can't just let you go and find another worker who will actually show up.

Unfortunately my eyes are so bad now that when I'm nog wearing glasses I can't read the display on the Casios, so instead I got a Seiko '5', an old fashioned mechanical watch that keeps fairly accurate time and has a normal dial that I can read easily without glasses. It's an automatic, nothing to wind and no batteries to replace. I'm super happy with it, have it for about five years now and it looks as good as new in spite of wearing it every day, rain or shine (or mud, grease, sandpaper and so on).
This app confuses me. You deepen relationships with your friends by hanging out with them and doing things together. The sharing of personal stories and whatnot comes as a natural result of that.

The sort of "compelled" sharing that this app is proposing doesn't strike me as being terribly useful in terms of deepening your friendships.

"The last desktop build I made 5 years ago"

A desktop you built using standardized components you sourced from a competitive market with a plethora of alternatives specifically designed for easy assembly. Should any component fail you can obtain a replacement and perform the repair yourself. Doubtless these affordances are a part of why you chose to assemble you're machine yourself.

You do indeed care. The inability to extrapolate this to laptop machines seems obtuse.

What's the alternative? I'll tell you scientists are dying for good information (probably really are). IN a lot of authoritarian countries it does not exist, for obvious reasons. Freedom House, yeah, it has an agenda, but at the end of the day it's that data or none at all. It is the job of people using the data, not posting comments about it to do a more thorough review than it has connections, therefore, not useful.

Do you have a specific issue with the ratings? We have to ask these questions and do. We adjust our priors accordingly.

Screens wind you up, pages wind you down. I've ran this experiment on myself plenty of times. If I'm scrolling on the internet and reading articles there, I can be up almost indefinitely without getting tired. The mind keeps going with the screen. If I sit in the exact same chair at the exact same time of day with the exact same amount of rest the day before, and get into a book, I might last 13 pages before I nod off.

If you like to read to help get tired for bed, I would think a book is the best method. Certainly works that way for me. I can't even read in the middle of the day because it makes me too drowsy and sometimes knocks me out entirely, then I lose like two hours before I awake from that unintentional nap.

When I had ~1000 books, I catalogued them to avoid buying books I already had and to ease lending them to my friends.

Back in the pre-smart phone days, there was a Mac app that used a webcam to scan book barcodes. The author wrote a neat article on how it was better to scan barcodes really fast and throw away the noise than to try to scan the barcode perfectly the first time.

The trick to write vanilla HTML is to make it static (no dynamic changes except layout/mobile responsiveness)
Meanwhile the trick to writing a statefull app in vanilla JS is to not use HTML instead create the DOM tree using JS functions which gives you the ability to use higher abstractions, local/private state management and automatic UX tests.
> IMX, the core problem is that all BI software is built around the idea that everything is a financial value that can always be arbitrarily aggregated meaningfully, and that looking pretty is more important than presenting the data in a way that your organization actually finds logical.

I used to work directly modeling data for various sized companies on behalf of two different BI sellers.

As I see it there are perpetually two problems:

1. BI is marketed at and sold to anyone needing any kind of data visualization capabilities, and most packages I've worked with can do this but that's not really where they shine.

2. They really shine when you have huge amounts of data stored in different systems and you are trying to build an environment up where you can coalesce that data into one place and then visualize it, and you need to routinely report on these sorts of things.

I think most BI solutions fall into the same space as JIRA does -- highly-customizable solutions that are sold as "Turn-key" without any warning ahead of time that it'll require someone (or several people) on your team become ridiculous levels of expert in areas that don't necessarily help the business.

It's a specialized skill most places don't really need when what they're looking for is a simple reporting package that can connect to just any database.

Similarly, I saw a lot of people with BI insisting they had "Big Data" and thus "needed" things like Hadoop in order to process their stuff, when in reality the MySQL, SQL Server, or Oracle DB they were already invested in would do the same job faster 99.9999% of the time.
It sounds like yours needed regulation. Properly regulated you can trust them just fine.
Literally everybody in my company (a large enterprise) uses a laptop as their main workstation. They work with them docked at their desks, but then unplug them to take them to a meeting room, a shared working space, etc.

Outside of work, 90% of people I know have a laptop as their main computing device at home. Very few have a desktop PC - those are the PC gamers.

Your anecdotal experience doesn't match with my anecdotal experience.
It makes sense if you use the laptop as a desktop - plugging it to a bigger monitor with an external keyboard and mouse. Otherwise it's hard to have good ergonomic with a laptop and you can't work long hours on it without developing some body pain.
Yeah, I've actually done this math too, though I don't think it's quite this simple. When a laptop started falling apart, I usually tried to just put up with it until I couldn't.

For example, I used to have an Asus computer whose plastic surrounding the screen decided to start coming detached from the monitor flap. This made the laptop substantially more fragile and annoying to use, and after a certain point I tried to remedy this with gorilla glue and it led to this ugly mess on the bottom left corner. The laptop still "worked" in the sense that still did computation, but it was crappier. Then the 7 key broke off the keyboard, I was unable to put it back on, so I just decided I didn't need the 7 key, since I didn't type 7 that often, and when I did I could still hit the little switch. Again, the laptop still "worked" in the sense that it still did computation, but it was crappier. A bunch of other stuff ended up happening (e.g. the LED for the backlight started to go out and become this flickery mess, the connector to the battery didn't always seem to make contact, etc).

Stuff like that starts to add up, and "experience" is substantially more difficult to quantify. I bought an expensive Macbook, and I never had any issues outside of the inevitable "moores law" depreciation.
It's excellent, with one important caveat: provided the text size is not too small. The way small font sizes (<=8pt on an 8.5x11 PDF page) get rendered/antialiased on the device reduces their contrast a little -- they end up a little more grey than pure black, which isn't ideal.
The backlight was a game changer for me too. There were times I used to use a headlamp to read when I'm hanging out at the porch to read.

I went through the same process about my dead tree collection, and shrunk it down to the ones that I either will read again, or keep around as a legacy. These days, the main criteria I use for getting a dead tree book is, "is this worth keeping and preserving in a zombie apocalypse?"

If you're interested in the scenario where that depreciation outpaces all else I might suggest reading the Foundation by Asimov series which includes an empire in its sunset and suffering from systems collapse. If we were in such a situation it'd be pretty clear to everyone as maintenance costs would prevent any sort of productive activity. I personally think that, short of a sudden disaster that causes extreme knowledge loss, a systems collapse is infeasible in the modern world since we've invested so much of our ongoing maintenance into detecting these sorts of insidious critical failures.

But, in short, those depreciations are far outweighed by value creation right now.
