Prioritize the relationship with your partner (living the “authentic life”, as the GP puts it) is how you keep the happy family together to benefit the kid the most. The alternative leads to either insurmountable rift or parents yelling at each other, which might be just barely better than divorce.

If you leave your new born at home to join a swing sex party, you’re a bad parent. But if you can only have sex with your partner once a year in the first 10 years of your child, it should be considered just as bad, and society tends to ignore the latter case much more.

Turn out it’s the balancing act that would be difficult, and there is probably no one-liner to explain it all huh? Who could have known.
jony ive is not at apple anymore, so maybe there's still hope.
Yes big thanks for not putting this site behind Cloudflare also.

I believe it must be constantly under attack due to its popularity but thanks for managing to keep it up and running without making me solve captchas or 10s checking your browser page.
Ah, makes total sense. I was conflating the single document requirement with the original post which was seemingly trying to build a CLI tool.
I know you mentioned not liking the Apple Watch, but if you do have one, FaceID works just fine with masks when you have an Apple Watch paired and the feature enabled.
Article is from 2009. Nevertheless interesting to go back in time and see what has changed. Or hasn't.
If I manage to create a successful computing ecosystem, I plan to name myself after it. :)
I've noticed that for the past decade or so, Hollywood has really only been interested in doing either sequels or remakes.

Ever since streaming and, more recently, the pandemic, has affected box office numbers, they seem to be playing it very safe in terms of getting a decent ROI.

One of the last few directors that makes original films (Christopher Nolan) has only had success, I believe, because he's made recent hits. Studios are more willing to take a chance on him. Francis, on the other hand, hasn't had a successful hit since the 1970's. While no one doubts his greatness, one could argue he has peaked and his name doesn't carry the cache that directors like Steven Spielberg or Quentin Tarantino have.
I would absolutely love to know what formula could possibly determine time saved in the future.
There is a difference between being critical or skptical, and being pleasant or abrasive / offensive.
Yep! This is my plan. I already work remote, so I plan to continue that as long as I can. Eventually, I want to buy land in a remote place that is as climate change resistant as possible, like the upper midwest.

I want to build an off grid house and learn how to grow most of my own food and develop strong ties with the community, as well as learning lots of non-tech skills.
> I was able to get leadership to eventually discuss the situation with me last Fall, but after avoiding dealing with it, they made excuses, and made it clear they weren't planning to do anything about it. As such, I decided not to return. They reassure me they "want to make sure things are better for others in the future based on what we talked about" though.

This puts a bullet in my hopes for Swift. Why on earth would Apple not support this obvious A-Team player?
Not sure, vector calculus isn't very intuitive either if you start with it, with Pauli/gamma matrices it's even worse. Having studied Physics myself, I haven't encountered one lecture where they were able to give a reasonable geometric explanation. (Symplectic Geometry and GA provide it) IMHO if the the same amount of effort was used to force vector calculus into people's heads, it should be doable with these tools as well. Unfortunately there is already a lack of books about the topics
No, I’m still holding out with my original iPhone se. Seriously, how does faceId even work with a mask on?
Yeah, I like FF7 a lot, but my view in the 90's was that 3d was ugly and the older games had better graphics. The ff7 backgrounds look a lot better than the characters, and even the FMV sequences still pretty meh if you ask me. I'd take the art style of Lunar or Phantasy Star or something over it any day..... in fact I still prefer that style to the newer 3d games anyway.

Thankfully there's more to the game than the appearance. The music <3
Also, in Japan, teachers move from classroom to classroom, which is different from the US where the kids move between teachers' rooms. And Japanese children help serve (and clean up after) a very nutritious school lunch [0], as opposed to the US which is pinching pennies on feeding children to the point where the tomato paste in pizza is given four times the credit it should be to count as a vegetable.

And education is not without its pitfalls in Japan, like the bullying problem and the high rate of suicide in such a high-pressure environment.

It matters not in absolute but in relative terms. It is impossible to misunderstand that I am not talking about pedestrians and bicyclists on the roads with motorcyclists, but other drivers and riders.

The analogy is imperfect, like all analogies, and the modicum of empathy required to understand the actual point behind it may be missing in those who shout at you, who dares to ride in a bicycle lane slowly, because they take bells off their bicycles to save on weight.
I dived into Datasette a bit last year. Simon has a whole set of tools around SQLite and data analysis with it. I haven't used any of it for anything major but I love to see what he's got going on. My Google Drive is out of control, I hope I can find the time to try this one out.
One way to spy on an app's traffic is to setup NextDNS with logging turned on, and then watch it as you open the app, see what it talks to. You can't see the actual content, only DNS requests, but DNS alone can sometimes be enough to 'catch' the app phoning home.
In the digging example, the goal is to complete the tunnel. If the tunnel is not completed, the project would be a failure.

You say that PoW works and makes cryptocurrency doable, yet you conclude that it is a failure. But you don't define what the goal of it is. What specific goal would you want crypto to achieve to falsify your belief that it is a failure?
I'm curious why the person doing the yelling wasn't named. Chris gets named for leaving, but the person doing the yelling doesn't. I've seen this over and over in various professional settings and it doesn't make sense to me to protect and hide the people behaving unprofessionally. Maybe they'd learn and work on their behavior if someone told them?

UPDATE: very good points below about the internet mob that would attack in response. Sad, but true.
Yes. I hate that FaceID replaced touchID. In reality, both techs, can serve really well different situations and would be much better complementing each other. E.g. Wearing a mask or having your fingers wet.
They have a monopoly on STR listings? I use VRBO at least as often (probably more) than AirBnb.
Re. the VMS clustering: pardon my complete ignorance but how did orchestration work? How was the host of a new process chosen? Could processes be migrated from host to host? And how do you connect to a given service if you don't know where it's running?

Any link to some overview of how this work would be greatly appreciated.
This seems like a broad generalization. JS continues to permeate every industry brought to the web. It's increasingly not optional as employers and governments mandate more and more web services. Doubtful that can be predicted by personality.
I posed a bunch of clarifying statements to understand your point and instead of responding to them that's how you respond? Weird.

I respect most, if not all, of your viewpoints on HN (even if we disagree), but dodging the meat of my questions and clarifying statements isn't helping with your argument.
What a nightmare for fire safety this would be.
The YouTube channel Shadiversity has a series called 'Medieval Misconceptions' which I really enjoy: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLWklwxMTl4sx73IrJ4PPUJmul...

The overarching theme of this series is that medieval people were not dumb, they just had different cultures and less technology. The more I learn about it the more I come to appreciate this idea.

Of course if drawing images was expensive and difficult, someone would find a way to make copies and edits of existing images! It's what any of us would do.
Would you consider insulated concrete forms (ICF) addressing the water intrusion concerns, while retaining the other benefits of reinforced concrete?
iphone 8 is still a perfectly serviceable phone if you don't play games.

i've got the new SE and it's perfect - just the right size, touch id, doesn't cost an arm and a leg (compared to the bigger iphones, at least...), got a good-enough camera.
> Their reputation with programmers used to be great.

Maybe in a vague secondhand sense? Mac developers have pretty much always been a tiny, tiny niche, and I've heard plenty of complaints from them.
I've dealt with the IRS and with the Apple App Store. The former has far better customer service and is much more transparent.

>> "I don't know what to believe and everyone involved is probably corrupt" is usually just an excuse to disengage and follow base instincts.

It is ALSO the primary goal of dezinformatsia and "flood the zone with bullshit" (promoted by e.g., Steve Bannon) techniques. While some will believe even the most stupid conspiracy theories put out there, many more will just conclude that finding the real truth is impossible/impractical and just disengage. This is a deadly threat to democracy and a key tool to anyone who wants to destroy a society or own it as an autocrat.
I find you mostly need to take your winter gloves off to do anything with the device once it is unlocked, anyway. You can kind of take photos using the volume button, but good luck changing the mode or zoom.
RTK GPS isn't hard in theory, only in practice.

To maintain a high-precision fix, you have to maintain particularly good tracking (a 'phase lock') of 5 or 6 satellites. That can be demanding - you practically need line of sight to the satellites.

That might be practical if you're flying drones outside in free space - but if you're flying in a stadium with a lot of seating? Or dodging in and around trees with lots of foliage? By all means test it out, but don't imagine it'll be easy :)

I've also heard second-hand reports that the PLL signal tracking built into many GPS modules isn't really tuned for >4g acceleration because 99.9% of GPS modules end up in cars and phones. With the consequence that trying to track acrobatic flight leads to more lost signals than you'd expect, based on the excellent view of the sky. I haven't seen that firsthand, though - it's just what I've been told.
SQL Diffs, “Why did this happen?” “What changed?”
While I agree with a lot of the sentiment in this blog post, it certainly didn't age well. I don't see "developer love" making a lick of difference for how successful the App Store has been (which is, phenomenally). At this point the only thing I see reigning in the power of the App Store (and Play Store, a point pg also got wrong in this post, but I think that was understandable in 2009) is regulation.
One thing I miss from my Samsung phones (I've moved to pixel which only has touch):

Having the choice of both!

Sometimes FaceID is better, and sometimes (or a lot given the past 2 years) TouchID is better. We have the technology. They're not mutually exclusive.
Fun fact, 22/7 is only accurate to one part in 2,500, or 0.04%, netting you one extra digit (i.e 3.14 is less accurate with 3 digits but 3.142 is more).

Most remember 3.14159 which is way better than 22/7, but pi has an even better unusual rational approximation, 355/113 gets you two extra digits, it is accurate to one part in 12 million, or 0.000008% . So you have to go to 3.1415927 to beat it.
K8s doesn't solve problems which haven't been solved before. It doesn't do any particular magic in itself. The handful of things kubernetes does, are easy to explain but the impact is big nonetheless.

It is trustworthy because it is FOSS, certified and lots of companies use it because of this.

Lets take Java vs. PHP: PHP is developed by one group of people. Thats it. There was facebook hhvm/php alternative which then became something independent of php. Quite frustrating if you were hoping that Facebook gives back to the community.

Then take java: you have a spec, you have a reference implementation and then you have validated alternatives of it. At least you had this for a long time on the JavaEE area and with the oracle support thing, you also now have independent JVMs. This makes Java, in my opinion, better. This makes it a great platform, easy to migrate out of one ecosystem and it prevents 'vendor lock-in'.

Nomad is from hashicorp. You have mesos which works well as well. But no normal cloud provider provides nomad or mesos as a service. They provide their own thing. App Engine, Heroku etc.

Kubernetes broke through this. Lots of smaller cloud providers provide a managed kubernetes. You can see kubernetes here as the universal appengine if you like. Google provides Autogke. Their managed kubernetes service which abstracts away k8s even further. This interface, k8s provides, allows you to run your k8s based workloads at home, onprem, in private, in any other cloud provider AND on Google.

Instead of having Vendor lock-in it switches the operation model of those companies: They can't lock you in as easily before so they need to make the best offering for it. It switches the mental model and the level of competition to a more consumer/customer focused level.

It is very similar on a mental model switch as what Microsoft did with linux: Instead of hating against linux, they embrase it now and incorporate it. I never considered windows as a good developer OS just because of the missing shell support or the required workarounds or the non native cli feeling it gave you. Now i can use WSL2 and it becomes a real option.

For me, k8s is THE FOSS infrastructure abstraction layer. Protected and aligned through the CNCF and certification process.

Btw. the CNCF is from the Linux Foundation.

There's a company called "Sports Media Technology" SMT that has some nice integrations with the NHL (Hockey). https://www.smt.com/hockey#techinfo

They put emitters/sensors in the hockey puck as well as on the players. The data gets processed and displayed on video for audiences as an "augmented reality" experience.

My understanding is that the puck has an infrared emitter that is tracked by sensors in various locations around the rink and this can locate the realtime position of the puck. The players also have sensors/transmitters and this makes it possible to have really responsive position tracking (the video in the link shows how it looks quite nicely).

I suppose the speed and erratic motion of a hockey puck is not unlike that of an FPV drone.
What a mess Swift and Swift development has become! Im not throwing away my ObjC books any time soon! You could see this coming. It was a slow moving trainwreck. Like someone mentioned, we need a lightweight Swift.
Also: too many cooks! This is what you get with such a big language. Chris has lost control.
> HN is a rare place on the web

That's because HN hasn't suffered from an Eternal September[0] yet. Although I did notice an uptick in submissions and comments during the pandemic, which on the whole was healthy, but sometimes not, as the discussions got a little polluted by the 'I'm now working from home now' crowd.

What would make the logistics part better? Would it be hiring dedicated help?
That's pretty much the gist of it. The ideals of "agile" (or really just Scrum for the majority of people) aren't what most developers rail against. It's how tightly the "how" is defined and acclaimed as the "one true way", despite authors repeatedly writing it isn't, and despite proof of software projects having done just fine otherwise. Which then saps the energy of many participants, making them less likely to do what they would do otherwise.

I've never heard opponents go "communication doesn't matter", yet the moment we talk about taking down these meetings, that's the first kneejerk most proponents I spoke to reach for. As if being against standups is indicative of thinking poorly of communication. Same goes for specification of goals, cooperating to keep everyone going strong, and improving to make things less of a drag. Is there so little faith in basic human intelligence and cooperation, that this one method is the only way we silly developers can be redeemed?

Now we have a bunch of people who haven't touched code in multiple years parroting what the consultants sold them and trying to talk their way out of aforementioned proof. Or they make claims like "well but it is better now!", as if their previous methodology wasn't so horrible they could've thrown a dart and very likely get a better result.
Because random people yelling isn't that interesting; it's more interesting that it apparently had no consequences for them. And that's on team leadership, not on the yelling person.
I think it makes a lot of sense.

This is a post to the internet, and I don't think having someone get flamed by a bunch of people online is a conducive way to settle a disagreement, whether they were being unprofessional or not.

> Maybe they'd learn and work on their behavior if someone told them?

I think the problem here is that there would be an online mob constantly telling them.
Then you were replaced with NOT the same product you brought in.

Should have opened a small claims lawsuit for the cost of the phone and sue them. It's easy to show the judge "I bought this phone and can use it with any carrier, and when warranty at Verizon was done with it, can no longer use it anywhere other than Verizon"

You simply materially did not get the same (or refurbished) product you brought in.
I'm describing my real life issues i have and had.

Feel free to actually write more than 'None of this is true.' in a way that a discussion is actually possible.

Tx :)
Probably, but the actual hardware would need to cover the entire phone, which I think would be the issue. Not sure if that'd have battery life implications as well.
Most people don't make it a year regardless. Once you're in bad enough shape to need a nursing home, it's rare for anyone to last long. Being sick enough to not be able to handle activities of daily living has a worse prognosis than pretty much any disease.
No.

The balance of power between labor and employers is different in those nations, which works to reduce the need for minimums. The ones I have looked at also have assistance / subsidy policy that is lower friction and generally not associated with the near constant blame and shame seen here. That's a big deal frankly. Having robust norms well aligned with human quality of life basics is necessary for the help to work as intended.

Labor law is a contributor to that balance of power too. "At will" type policies, "right to work for less" policies are examples where the lack of labor protections very significantly bias labor negotiation power toward employers, who tend to get a better deal. Implications here should be obvious.

I tend to use business and labor dying when they are not funded well enough to exist as a strong rhetorical tool. This meta discussion is one negative artifact of that. No easy answers, IMHO.
It’s a charity thing. We want to be charitable, we don’t want to assume the worst, we want to assume they can learn, be better, without the maximal social punishment that would likely ensue from naming them publicly…

At least that’s the positive angle. The negative one is they are some kind of scumbag with enough leverage to keep their ass covered and picked a fight they thought they could win, but didn’t win enough to avoid consequences, just not public consequences.
A couple of years ago FreeDOS was needed to do BIOS upgrades if you had Linux machines with no Windows (e.g. on Dell). Now I haven't seen any BIOS upgrade for a while
that cannot be installed without Windows. Either they are UEFI executables or a format that the BIOS can handle or even supported by fwupdate on Linux.

Is there still any reason to run a FreeDOS except for fun and nostalgic reasons?
If you want to keep a family together, the relationship must come first. Or, order it however you want, the relationship must be attended to with the hard work which it requires. Imagine raising children in a relationship in which there's no sex and the parents are only together out of a sense of duty. How will that affect their own sense of how a relationship should work? Marriage doesn't fix this.

The relationship may even be harder than raising the children.
Absolutely right, aaaaand... it doesn't matter. People will do whatever is necessary to get their app in the user's hands. But Apple doesn't have Steve Jobs anymore and that matters a lot.

Anyhow, the question driving everything now is "Security?". How do you deliver non-dangerous software to innocent people? What is the (un)fashionably libertarian answer on this anyhow? Let them eat blackmail?
> I don't see "developer love" making a lick of difference for how successful the App Store has been

Therein we see the commodificafion or the mass consumerization or appification or whatever neologism of software, at least for smartphones.
> “ correlation vs. causation"

Such a study would not have any importance to me. One family that is stricken with physically abusive or alcoholic parents combined with another family that does not have those issues. How can you say the kids in the first family are better off without divorce compared to then second family?

Lot's of nostalgia and comments about the lost culture. This is understandable I guess, but I think it would be more interesting to focus on actual technologies, be it hardware or software. If only because we can build replica of past things, but not replica of past cultures.
Fatal distraction: the problem with the methane pledge
There is in general an asymmetry between good and evil, because good will follow rules and be civil and evil will do whatever it takes to win.
I've had the opposite experience living in Brooklyn and traveling to Europe. Saying I was from New York was boring but—Brooklyn being in vogue at the time—I quickly learned to be more specific and found lots of fast friends wanting to know about what it was like living there.
If you listen to what people say they want, it becomes difficult to actively ignore that in favor of a better overall solution. The sheer fact that a solution was proposed becomes ammunition that the proposed solution is what you should build. It becomes a form of authority bias.

Part of the insight that good product managers have is that their customer base aren't omniscient gods. They're flawed human beings like the rest of us, with limited experience and perspective. Our customers often don't know what we're capable of building, so why should we let our customers' proposals limit us?

This is why it's most important to focus on customer suffering. The facts of the gap that stands between them and happiness. That is the purest signal.
Sorry, I meant not an interesting fact in public clouds where they take care of all the VMs for you, even without Fargate.

You're right though, the abstraction layer is very interesting for _enabling_ public clouds, and for private cloud team ownership.
