As I said, there's a reason Java and C# are so popular.

And it may not even be a bad thing, I don't know the overall impact. It does cut a lot of good developers that could be creating great software out of it, but it also opens space for a lot of people that wouldn't add value in a different environment. It also adds a great deal of costs due to the bad software, but it probably increases the amount of problems we can solve with software.

Fox News: "Fair and balanced"
> Programming nowadays feels more like an exercise in importing other people's code correctly. I feel like it's mostly writing something that takes data format X, converts it to format Y for library Z and then 'just works'[sic]. The 'heavy lifting' is usually not happening in your code, but in one of the libraries/full-on programs being pulled in, and your code just happens to be calling it with the right parameters.

AKA "plumbing". Yes I agree this is pretty much all I've been doing the last few years.

> This isn't all bad, in that it allows ideas to be tested and products to be created in a testable (and sometimes even shippable) form in a ridiculously fast amount of time, but then you're also far more prone to discover some library in your stack had a breaking change a few versions ago and you suddenly don't know when your upgrade will be delivered because you don't know if it's just a 'legacy=true' parameter that needs to be passed in or they redid their core somehow.

I know it's a buzzword but it shows how important DevOps is in modern development. It's something I need to spend more time on...
Unless I'm mistaken, according to their own TS types[0], `Automerge.merge` should return a `{ readonly [P in keyof T]: Freeze<T[P]> }`. Getting `undefined` here is probably a bug.

On any given day, fewer than half of people with jobs really need to work. A lot of people attend their job and don't really do work -- not because they're lazy -- but because deep down they know it doesn't really matter.

We (collectively) invent work to slow ourselves down, or create jobs that don't really need to exist. We know that people who want jobs need to have things to do, but maybe that there just isn't that much that needs doing. George Jetson pushed a single red button for a living. There's a certain truth behind why the show's creators gave him that.

This has been the case at least long enough before the movie Office Space came out to have been well understood by then.

Wasn't the whole point of Project Treble to abstract the OS from the low level using a HAL so that most of Android could be updated even if the low-level was stuck?
I flashed my Pixel 3 to the CalyxOS [0] with Android 12 on Friday. It has been at least 6 years since I have put a custom OS on an Android phone... I was shocked at how smooth the process was using the provided installer. Took less than 30 minutes. This particular phone, I use solely for Android dev. Based on my initial experience with CalyxOS, I could definitely see myself switching to it for my daily driver.

I don't think those software updates would come free. I think Qualcomm deserves half the blame here because they produce such horribly locked down products.
Its not the same. You can easily run node pools automatically because your abstraction layer is k8s with containerd or docker.

You also know that you can throw away VMs because they don't contain any state. You are not losing data just because you kill a VM or a VM breaks.

It is way easier to just spin up n nodes and provision them all equally than whatever you did before.

In my team, we can manage way way way more nodes than we ever could. We spin up 100 VMs and destroy them on a regular basis automatically.

Gardener for example supports autoscaling on bare metal. The whole ecosystem is providing tons of great options.
Thanks! Yes thats a good idea will add something like that asap

You might have luck with a cheap battery replacement. These could be had for about 30 bucks two years ago (by an Apple Authorized Reseller). Displays were also dirt-cheap, unlike today's devices where the display is almost as expensive as a new device.

Edit: meant as reply to throwhauser
Why not replace the battery in the iPhone? It would have cost less than the G Power and probably continue getting updates for exactly as long.
Good idea! Will develop stats/leaderboards over next few days
I don't know anything about phone vendor relationships with Qualcomm, but "able to deliver" does not necessarily mean "able to charge a reasonable price." If "able to deliver" means "has competent engineers familiar with the product, and are willing to put those engineers on the project in exchange for full costs plus profits" rather than "can e-mail you an up-to-date repository", it can be prohibitive.

Especially with as few as ten million Pixel 3s sold [1], and a half-life of less than two years for cell phone usage, it's going to be hard to justify even a single engineer-year so late in the game for such a small audience.

The biggest source of inaccuracy in GPS are atmospheric effects, meaning two receivers in the same vicinity see similar errors. If you get the drone's GPS position and compare it to the reported GPS position from a stationary receiver planted nearby you might be able to get enough accuracy to be useful (basically a poor man's differential GPS).
I use a 6s on iOS 15. It runs well.
That's a backwards way of looking at it.

It is typical for passion to fade in relationships and superficially it often looks like the woman has lost passion first and people come to conclusions like "men like sex better than women like sex." I think actually women are quicker to get bored with boring monogamous sex whereas many men will tolerate mediocre sex (keeps your prostate gland for clogging up for one thing...)

The highest libido women have a higher sexual capacity than the highest libido men. It's a consequence, for one thing, of the refractory period of the male organ. Assuming a poly relationship involves some amount of emotional closeness and seriousness it's hard to believe a poly man can really serve more than 2 or 3 women at a time but a woman who is sexually voracious can have 5 or more lovers. Quite a few women who are not responsive with their husbands might experience a sexual awakening with somebody else, if only because of the power of new relationship energy.

So Poly in the modern world is not about a man having a harem (women have multiple partners too) but instead people developing networks for passion, mutual support, resource sharing, etc. Personally I have been there and done that with children but I still like the feelings of falling in love and I want to develop those feelings and share them with people as a high art.
To be fair to them, they stopped using that tagline in 2017.
Lawyers arent just hired to win cases just as programmers arent just hired to "make things work".

Theyre hired to advise, to negotiate contracts and ensure compliance with existing and upcoming laws.

It has a lot in common with programming on a systemic level, I think.

You could also go the custom hardware route and trilaterate signals from small embedded transmitters. That would require a lot of effort, but it should work using FPGAs and/or analog electronics.

I'd really like to know if overall if people are happier with or without kids. I know a few dad's who have said if they had the choice now they'd say no. But long term I'm not sure.

My only regret as a parent is how badly I wasted my time before becoming a parent. So much free time wasted.

Another question I'd like to know the answer to: is having more than one child better for the whole family?
Definitely the latter.

I'm in the same boat, my kid is now the third owner of a handed down 6S and it still does everything without being slow or lacking app support. The features it is missing are mostly neural engine related and are conveniences not vital functionality. I could 100% use that phone as a daily driver and not be frustrated if I swapped in a new battery.
>A new social media that says, "we're not removing anything unless it's clearly illegal or we get a court order to do so" is a reasonable pitch in my mind.

And then they will face the same market forces as Facebook and Reddit, and be forced to either capitulate or remain a tiny niche. Which may sound fine to a programmer, but anyone investing serious money into this will force their hand. And then the cycle repeats.

What type of evidence could they have found?
There is no, nor should there be, irreconcilable contrast between the individual and the family, between the interests of the individual person and the interests of the family. There should be no such contrast, because family, does not deny, but combines individual interests with the interests of the family."

Horrifying.

Not really. In a well-functioning family individual and family interests are in tune (of course there are not well functioning families where, say, step-parents and stepchildren get into physical altercations.

Contrast to Georgia in 1860, where an individual slave had interests contrast to that of the plantation.

Odd a worker in tune with his fellow workers is horrifying. What then is a wage slave grinding it out in some Amazon warehouse to enrich Bezos and his investors?
You can use these as electric heaters. Since there is no mechanical work, all energy input is radiated as heat. In this scenario, capex aside, the hashes come out for free and can offset a little of the electricity bill. If they can be encased in passive radiators and run at 60+ Celsius, that'd be awesome for a home boiler. Lower temperatures would be really nice for keeping heated pools hot.
Why is HN so full of paranoid conspiracy theories?

Because many of us have been to this rodeo before.

It's actually not true. I bought a 6S last year (or previous year) for use in testing iOS apps. My main phone has since died, and I've switched to the 6s. And the experience is excellent. In fact, in many ways it's superior to newer iPhones: it TouchID, and a headphone jack! The only thing that I wish it had is a better camera.
Looking some more I found this video. Sounds like he is quite heavily involved after all. Interesting video too.

Google has a support page that lists the planned obsolescence dates for all Pixep phones: https://support.google.com/pixelphone/answer/4457705

My Pixel 3a is going to stop receiving security updates this May. It’s still a perfectly good phone despite the increasing slowdowns with every system or Play Service update.

I’ve learned my lesson and switched to iPhone as my next main phone, and relegated the Pixel to serve as a backup.

So, you know who I am or how to reach me? Send me an e-mail (or, better yet, dox Satoshi) and I'll take your point. I don't see how pseudonymity can't be a flavor of anonymity, even cyber-criminals who have every reason to remain truly anonymous online - as in hidden from FBI and gang - can pick some form of pseudonym so people can address them, Dread Pirate Roberts would be an obvious example (tho he failed to be anonymous to govs).

Per Wikipedia:

>Anonymity describes situations where the acting person's identity is unknown. [...] The important idea here is that a person be non-identifiable, unreachable, or untrackable.
Isn't part of the issue that you need such a "toolbox"? It not only requires the usual maturity and mental preparation to deal with other people, there's also an entire set of extra complications and "conventions" (?) you (and any of your partners) need to get used to.
> I assume he'd need to be briefed in far more detail to help call shots around the type of response.

I feel like this is something a lot of presidents (or VP’s, or Directors, etc.) think, but really, instead of taking time away from the professionals doing the fighting to explain to them the minutiae of blowback, the best thing they can do is say “I trust you, put it out.” And then leave the pros to do their job.

* Pinephone from Pine64 [China]
* FXTec [UK]
* Volla [DE]

* Linux-based OS

* Mobian
* Manjaro ARM
* Maemo Leste
* Pure OS [US] (purism)
* Sailfish OS [FI]

* Others - mostly android-based alternatives

* Ubuntu Touch "Ubuntu Touch is not based on the "mainline" Linux kernel, but rather on the "downstream" (that is, highly patched) Android kernel that came with it originally, with an abstraction layer, halium, to adapt Android drivers and userspace to Linux systems. "
* /e/ foundation [FR]
* Lineage OS
* GrapheneOS
* LuneOS
* Nemo Mobile

I actually believe that the k8s api could be the best abstraction for services we ever had.

While i'm running k3s at home (which is very nice to be honest) and big instances at work, i would prefer to have more managed k8s offerings but many already exist. They exist from DigitalOcean, Google, Azure, AWS and its probably way easier for smaller service providers to make a managed solution available. You can also use rancher or gardener to create and manage k8s clusters 'raw' by yourself.
You're lucky. I always get prompted to access new terms of use and when I say yes, I get an error that I've tried to change something I don't have the right to change.
Perhaps, but it lacks the brand recognition. Playing the technology dick measuring contest will end up confusing people and lead them right into a trap (meaning, they end up distrusting the very thing that can save them).

Bitcoin has all of the necessary pieces to get the immediate problem of government overreach and currency manipulation fixed.
I had the same issue with my old 6s but I recently changed the battery and it is shockingly fast now. The battery replacement only cost me $34 which is cheaper than buying a new phone. I have a SE 2 but since it doesn't have a headphone jack I will be sticking with 6s.

We're building a todo/planning app https://thymer.com. It will have a free version for individual users (and paid for teams).

We're strongly considering e2e encryption, but we're not 100% sure yet, because other features like CALDAV integration and server-side search are not compatible with e2e. The app runs entirely locally and syncs in the background (via CRDT), so it's super responsive.

Good. We're on the same page then. Snarky response not required but okay.

> Yes. It's called word-of-mouth and it is how it has always been done.

I don't know where to start with how to respond, but I'll bite:

Let's magically go back to the gold rush in the US. You're traveling from New York and arrive in San Francisco. You know nothing about products and services in that market. You walk into town and look for a general good store to buy some water. You ask a guy on the corner where the general store is and so you find the general store based on his help. Okay, so word of mouth. You want to prospect some gold and know you need to buy a pan. There are two gold prospecting material vendors in town, Gold Supply Inc and Acme Gold (but you don't know this because you're new to town). You walk through town looking for a vendor and notice a guy with a megaphone is yelling to the crowd about Gold Supply Inc offering better prices on pans. He is paid by Gold Supply to do this. This is marketing/advertising.

So, no, this is not "how it's always been done" and its inconceivable to think any modern company doesn't spend money on advertising/marketing. I understand the grievances about having hundreds of thousands of megaphones in your face 24/7, but let's stop pretending the world's marketplaces can operate efficiently on word of mouth alone because that's what you're implying.
Just fine?

To be able to save for retirement, you have to assume a lot of risk (stocks) or accept a negative real (inflation-adjusted) return (bonds). This is because inflation acts as a tax on top of income tax and social security etc.

The gold standard failed and inflation is higher because governments like to spend more than they earned. This is unsustainable - any asset holding its value will be preferable to funding a government that is constantly losing money (i.e. bonds).

> since with national currencies we end up with inflation and spending the resources of the future

One of the important distinctions between Austrians and Keynsians is that the latter have noticed that money isn't a resource. It's a claim on resources.

The resources of the future that we are spending are the real resources: fuel, clean water, energy, crops, minerals, human effort, the natural environment, and the biosphere services themselves.

You can print money, but you can't print oil. If you print money faster than you exploit real resources, then yes you get inflation. However, the converse is not true. The ultimate demand of anti-inflationists is that your salary remain $X - forever, the cost of a car remains $Y - forever, and the cost of a loaf of bread remains $Z - forever. You can't achieve price stability with technological hacks.

The reason why bitcoinism is so offensive to many people is the way it takes real resources - in this case silicon wafers - and turns them into nothing but money. It's a prayer wheel to Mammon, like Arthur C Clarke's Nine Billion Names Of God.

Even with a CS background, I would expect a blog post that is supposed to be a "A Critical Review" to at least try to be fair and reasonable.

It doesn't have to be neutral in my opinion. But it should clearly separate personal judgement or opinion from facts and overall rational.

In the "About me" section the author says:

>Originally I started this site attacking the big corporate interests (Google, IBM and VMWare) that drove this effort forward, but that really doesn’t speak to my intended audience. It also came off as acerbic, which I am fine with in regards to corporations and their CEOs, it does not do justice to all the engineers that slaved over the Kubernetes project. So I deleted those posts. Now, I just want to start, provoke, prod, or push a dialog forward, because if you just follow the tech blogs, you would think we should be running a Kubernetes cluster on our lawn mowers.

Even if the blog is not about simply "attacking the big corporate interests" anymore, the language clearly puts forward the post's agenda.

In my opinion, the post should have a different title, one that is clearly indicating the author's intention to highlight the negative things about Kubernetes and the documentary.
