> I wish, most of the time web apps are either optimized for mobile phone, tablet or desktop not all three of them.

This. I'm fed-up of "mobile first". I know why it's done, more website hits are from phones than desktop/laptop systems. But "first" is supposed to mean that something comes after; an awful lot of projects aren't "mobile first", they're simply designed for mobile.

I hate smartphones. I can't use them. I can't read the screen properly, and my fingers all turn to thumbs when I try to interact with them. I own one, so that I can call a taxi when I'm out, and so I can receive SMS messages. And some government services require a mobile number. But I have no data plan, and my smartphone normally just sits on my desk.
I had do not disturb on by accident the whole day yesterday. It was great, it made be wonder if I should enable it permanently. As the technical founder of a startup, I suspect it'll probably be to my detrimental when shit hits the fan.

When a company sends me on a business trip in luxury transport in a luxury hotel so I can sit in meetings I have no reason to attend, then refuses to give me a 100$/month raise because there's no money, the only thing I'll be estimating is how many months I have left at the company.
I would be happy to see 'UX' go and good old 'usability' make a comeback. Sometimes UX seems to be code for switching focus away from usability and over to styling.

'UX' is just too broad to be a useful term. You can't perfect every aspect of the user experience at the same time, you need to focus on one thing at a time, and for that you need more focused words.
It might depend on your definition of "system". WW II battleships had electro-mechanical computers for fire control.
When you're a child, birthdays are important because this is how you grow up. As a young adult, it's important for your social life. As a mid-life adult, it's depressing, because it's one more year closer to death...my birthday is now a source of anxiety, so I just don't celebrate it. But still happy to receive a present, which never happens anymore, sadly!
The idea is that consumers don't know themselves as well as they could - you could argue either way.

> focus on smarter compilers/interpreters, not languages

That's...exactly what Rust is doing with their compiler, which checks ownership and lifetimes, so I don't understand your point here. Maybe they didn't need to write a whole new language, but why not add modern features like pattern matching along the way?
> … "devops". It's really job title for "sysadmin …

Uhm, that what it has become, but not what it ought to be. I define the «DevOps» as an experienced software engineer with the black belt in networking and system administration. It almost never works the other way round, though, and ex-sysadmins who choose to transition into a DevOps role as an exit path from editing configs in vi, remain as cantankerous and unhelpful as ever before. From my own anecdotal and likely highly biased experience, I have encountered exactly one positive example of the reverse transition.
I don't have any numbers to back this up, but historically going out to a restaurant or eating outside the home was a big deal. As a child I can recall we only went out to eat if it was a very special occasion. For (both sets of) my depression-era grandparents it was a darn big deal to get to go even to the local greasy spoon - it just wasn't done as it was considered an enormous expense. Even when we travelled in the summer, we always carried a picnic rather than stopping for fast food etc. The trend of the past decade+ toward people ordering takeout nightly is not normal in the majority of places. Perhaps in metro areas where there is a high density of restaurants competing for your dollar, but not elsewhere.

They weren’t ignored. For most of recorded history the basic unit was the family.

The men were in charge of public affairs of the family, while women were in charge of private and domestic affairs.

It was only recently the basic unit has been further subdivided into individuals, which required many to rely on institutional support on matters that used to be within the family, eg education, pensions, restaurants, clothing shops, apartment complexes, birth control.

The truly ignored throughout history were the peasants and serfs. Most men of significance were from aristocratic or upper class upbringings.

The divide is not between men and women, but haves vs have nots.

What I always loved about Yugoslavia was the freedom.

You couldn't criticize the party but everything else was free.

I was 13, at 11am I watched TV and saw a music clip where the content was 2 people fucking and smiling while doing so. They were having fun.

You could drive a light motorbike, no helm, no license.

The food was natural. You could sleep anywhere without anyone bothering you or having to be afraid that someone would steal from you.

I just can't explain the freedom by mere examples.
Likewise if you try to tell the young Croats about the freedom, they don't believe you. They're indoctrinated in school with hate for Serbs.

How can you tell a blind man the beauty of colors? You had to experience it to understand it.
Yes, of course. Although I weight labor cost and return of technological knowledge gain against each other, i.e. a solution _for different needs_.
West Berlin still has gas light, slowly transitioning to LED.
The premise (i.e., a singular 'music streaming' platform is what one should 'judge' Spotify against) is itself what I would reject in this case. e.g, for Indian classical, you're much better off with a whole constellation of blogs out there (and separately, certain music festival sites that host their recordings). Even national radio works a lot, lot better.
My Pixel 4 XL is still on the latest Android, and I still get unlimited Google Photos via the grandfathered contract.

This is an important list, but water is perhaps the single most important point of focus for the future. Places are legit having water shortages all over the world and population+heat+private corps trying to buy up rights+misallocation means it's going to be a big effing deal.
Comparing things that are equivalent is pretty pointless, because the outcome would always be the same: "they are the same".
We compare things that may be similar but actually different.
Comparing things highlights differences and commonalities.
Not really, many get married in their early 20s , some in 30s, others 40+. But I digress, I understand now.
I have been using similar settings on a Pixel 3 (Android 12). I'm not sure if it's provided by the OS or Google's dialer app though.
That seems like a non-issue, just replace the battery.
> reflecting a slump in personal-computer purchases and product

People bought a lot of new machines during the pandemic, and now I see
institutions literally throwing out desktops by the bin-full as
offices remain empty.

Maybe we should think carefully what that means for software. The
driver of hardware sales has been ever less efficient, hungrier
applications and a constant churn of compatibility. That's over, for
now at least. People can't afford that now. And they're much more
wary of energy costs. Successful software will be efficient enough to
run on last year's computer, and remain compatible
OOP became a marketing term, but no longer sells designs, languages, etc. OOP alone used to be hot. Now it is either just assumed, or eschewed, or considered ambiguous.

We’re getting there with FP, too. OOP…which kind? FP…which kind?
I find his rankings of which companies to invest in hilarious. It's like, take the attributes that you think will make a good solid company - experience in the industry, strong analytical skills, good operational skills. You know, the things we know for a fact are going to make a good solid successful company. Ok, take them, and throw them away. We're not interested in them. We're interested in variance.

I think fundamentally this suffers from the problem lots of VCs have right now. Cheap money meant that the correct investment strategy was to just pile money into high risk bets. I think this calculation looks very different without free money.
A Semi-Automatic Approach for Generating Video Trailers for Learning Pathways
kids are in school 9 hours a day, 5 days a week for 12+ years. if we are not using that time to facilitate developing their attention spans then the blame lies solely on the educators.
if kids aren't focusing in school, first and foremost look at the content and ask if any of it is actually engaging or meaningful. in my experience we largely dedicate them to shuffling around paperwork for which their greatest possible reward is a gold star and... more paperwork. we rob kids of agency or any sense of purpose and then snipe at them for not being sufficiently engaged in imp math 4.31, section 12, worksheet 29

the rudolph steiner/waldorf model is kooky in a lot of ways but one thing i do believe they got incredibly right is that they constantly have kids making actual things with their hands in the real world and all the technical concepts are buried within a grander narrative. also they let kids actually go outside.
Chef Wang is excellent.

Also highly recommend Chinese Cooking Demystified: an American + Chinese couple living in Guangdong do deep dives into the complexities of regional Chinese specialties.

And for something much lighter but still informative and fun: Blondie in China. Aussie girl fluent in Mandarin exploring all things China.

While we’re talking food: I have learnt so many great techniques from ThatDudeCanCook: if you do no other thing, you should watch his video on preparing filet mignon I never eat out for steak because it’s never as good as what I can make myself.
> the pandemic-fuelled a boom in digitisation, with teleworking, telehealth, online shopping and digital currencies becoming mainstream. Forty percent of Australians now work remotely on a regular basis and the future demand for digital workers expected to increase by 79% from 2020 to 2025.

Is there any actual evidence digital currencies are "becoming mainstream" or they just threw that in because it sounds cool? I still see zero use for digital currencies despite initially trying to be an early adopter, but all I saw since then was digital currencies being used as "investments" like any shares, not as actual currencies.
It would be useful to provide some context for the uninitiated - this is an Angry Video Game Nerd review of Superman 64. Viewer discretion is advised, as this particular reviewer likes to use elaborate expletives to describe downsides of reviewed games. It's pretty entertaining, though. PS. the actual review of Superman 64 for Nintendo 64 starts at 3:30.

Also, some context for the game itself, from the article itself:

> critical reviews were extremely negative, claiming it to be one of the worst video games ever made and panning its unresponsive controls, technical flaws, repetitive gameplay, overuse of distance fog, and poor graphics

It's interesting how this game came to be, because Titus Interactive was a pretty well known studio that had a decent track record until that point. I would be interested to read more about how exactly it happened that they've released this monstrocity.

>Modern social media leaves a very big gap - that was filled by old Facebook, or to some extent MySpace: The "people directory" where basically everybody has a page, and you can see what friends are doing, or look up acquaintances and strangers.

This was Social Networking 101 and Zuck got it right and he won big but there are so many different forms of social networking that are possible and are happening today like ephemeral content(Snapchat), short videos(TikTok) etc.

Video was and still is huge opportunity and you could see that from the astronomical rise of YouTube since 2005/2006 till today. YouTube is the second most popular search engine in the world and the second most visited website in the world.

Speaking of TikTok; the rise of TikTok was inevitable since Vine was also huge video opportunity but Twitter simple blew it away. If Vine had good leadership TikTok probably wouldn't exist or it wouldn't be as popular as it is today.

And also YouTube and TikTok are sort of hybrid social networks in a way that they are modern form of TV entertainment platforms because you can passively watch videos and get entertained nonstop without interacting with anybody. So they are not really at the same conceptual level as Facebook is.

>I think it would be hard to start something like this again, because people are afraid of data collection now in a way they weren't in 2006.

Then why the hell all wannabe successful people are on LinkedIn aka the directory of professionals. They keep signing up every single day because they want to be looked up and found by their fellow professionals and potential employers.
Not a movie buff here… but do movies avoid shooting anything that might have this sort of problem? Like perfectly round black circles moving in a circle for instance.

After all all we see is an illusion anyway (has to be interpreted by low energy consuming brain)! They can probably distract us from choppyness.
I'm worried. My Pixel 4 will stop receiving updates later this year but the Pixel 6 is huge and the Pixel 7 looks huge too.

Why are screens getting so big? So they can shove more ads?

I’ve also found a lot of devops to be generally unhelpful and adversarial as well. They seem to forget the developer part of the job title and don’t help the developers deliver value to the customer. Instead some devops teams just break things unannounced, make sweeping changes that leave everyone unhappy, require unnecessary extra steps for simple procedures, and remain passive or negative.

I call those teams “developer obstructions” or DevObs for short.

Really this probably highlights the problem of having devops be it’s own role instead of a responsibility of a software team.
Depending on who you ask Google comes with it's own crapware. I use calyxos and anything google including their play services is crapware for me. So the scale should be more like Samsung to GraphenOS/CalyxOS.
That's pure conjecture, you don't know that. Yes if you ask someone from continental part, on a typical central european estate, "do you like nudism" ofc the answer will be no. Ask people that live in the towns that have nudist zones under their jurisdiction, that's how you get relevant answers.

No, Croatia is not "very socially conservative". It is maybe a bit more conservative than typical EU state which is still way more progressive than American notion of "conservative" let alone "very conservative".

Then the thing is that places mentioned in the thread are not conservative at all. Coastal towns are not conservative.

I come from Split and I have never ever had any troubles or whatsoever of being shirtless. You know that we only have those fines because of uncultured tourists. Because they think they can enter museum or bank in their swimsuits.

Also there have always been undesignated nudist zones everywhere. There's one 20 minutes walk from Split downtown. On the islands, wherever urbanization stops, there could be naked people on the rocks of the shoreline. They just move a bit away, like 200-300m further from the last accessible beach in the area, and sun on the rocks. Every child that has spent more than 2-3 hours in a boat in Dalmatia was bound to see naked human genitalia up front or in the distance.

VDP supports both real-time and on-demand inference.

Blazingly fast speed or super cost efficiency? It’s on your call.

Real-time inference speed bundles with the genuine Vision AI model performance. You can get the fastest inference result ever with VDP from a model serving’s point of view. Thanks to the integrated Triton Inference Server and the high-performant Go backends.

On-demand inference performs batch operation. You can get the most economic inference cost for non-time-critical vision tasks. Schedule your inference tasks and access the structured data results in your data warehouse later.

If (and only if) that technology is a major safety or environmental hazard, then it should receive all the criticism that it deserves.
You could also just reduce the money supply by abolishing QE and introducing negative interest rates on liquid deposits and cash.

Then everyone can run a balanced budget and watch their debt melt away.

The reason why we have price controls aka the zero lower bound of interest is that we would rather become eternal debt slaves (money supply has always been growing exponentially even under a gold standard) than face nominal losses that force us to face an umcomfortable truth that from this point onwards you will never earn anything again from owning abundant physical capital and that you will have to work for your own money instead of making others work for it.
When TikTok was available here, I loved it largely because it had a lot of creators from poor and rural areas. The content was genuinely way more fun and authentic than any slickly edited video on Instagram
LATS stands for low Latency, high Availability, high Throughput and scalable Storage. When testing an OLTP DBMS it is important to look at all those aspects. This means that the benchmark should test how the DBMS works in scenarios where data fits in memory, where data doesn't fit in memory. In addition tests should run measuring both throughput and latency. Finally it isn't enough to run the benchmarks while the DBMS operates in normal operation. There should also be tests that verify the performance when node fails and when nodes rejoin the cluster.
I unsubscribed from all youtube channels. I have a markdown list of links for some channels and check them manually if I want. I'm also trying to remove all newsfeeds/recommendations from everywhere.

Having had Samsung, Huawei, and bare android (lineageos), I know whose software I prefer... instead of a bare android with no shortcuts on the lockscreen or anywhere, and no customizability of where the back button is (should be under the thumb of the dominant hand imo), I'll have the Samsung or Huawei software please. The only downside is that you can't have microG on stock.
I think the shortness of videos hijacks the dopamine system hooking users thanks to constant, fast-moving novelty. I doubt they'd have been as successful with long-form, ad-free videos.
The reason I run my Plex is all the world music, classical, and frankly obscure music.

If Spotify could increase and sustain the catalogue then I'm pretty sure this would work. But it feels like the catalogue is smaller, churns more, and isn't as enriched in meta-data or listener behaviour to make it work yet. A network problem more than a technical one.

App that pops out letters into the screen
Hi,
I built an app that pops out letters into the screen as you type, it doesn’t ask for Internet permissions nor collects your data. It’s very nice and intuitive, today I wanted to start promoting it and let people know about it.

It’s called FKeyboard, it’s much much better than you think.

I spent 8 years for developing it. It doesn’t have much downloads, only around few thousands as of today and around 46 reviews (mostly 5 stars though and no those are mostly people that I do NOT know, they emailed me excited after using the app). So if you can spread the word it’d be great!

It’s called FKeyboard and is available for Android.

Please help me share the app if you like it. Feel free to drop me an email, besides developing this app I’m also a nice person.

Many thanks & waiting for your comments,

S*t, now nobody is offering a SD card slot? Neither Samsung nor Apple. Just when in 2022 you can have a large storage AND privacy. I think Huawei is the only one offering a Google mobile phone and storage?

It is good that Apple offers mobile phones with internal storage of 1tb where Samsung ends up in 512gb but in this times of large photos and movies 2 TB should appear soon.
I think the only notifications i care about are steam notifications. Otherwise, i aggressively turn them off. I expect myself to catch up on an application when I use the application.

Maybe the only downside is checking my calendar, email, IM at least once a day instead of letting it inform me of events.
> 1. Immigration.

Hm... I think in Australia this is old news and doesn't even deserve a mention on a paper talking about future trends... every year Australia gets hundreds of thousands of immigrants, mostly highly skilled people, and this has been going on for several decades (see https://www.macrotrends.net/countries/AUS/australia/immigrat... - "migrant population" has gone from 1.7 million in 1960 to almost 7 million in 2015, or 28% of the total population...)!

Australia used to advertise heavily for people to come to study and work in Australia (not sure if that's still going on lately... I myself migrated there decades ago but left since - though may come back one day).

I think TikTok’s success is based on: (1) far superior UX, (2) showing content from anyone as the default, giving them a large pool to draw from and avoiding the chicken and egg problem, and (3) an excellent (probably quite simple) ML loop that just throws video at you until it finds something you like.

TikTok feels like an intense drug hit compared to Facebook. It’s easy to lose time to it, a LOT of time.

I didn’t think I’d like it until it figured out I enjoyed DIY / makers videos. Then 30 mins went by before I realised and deleted the app.
Not so good on climate change, it will damage the skin a lot.
