The wood examples are disingenuous I think.

I'm close to 40 and everyone I know in my age group, where I grew up... their parents all had the same type of furniture with the same wood types. We all had the same colors in our kids' bedrooms. It was three types of local wood, and the odd outlier.

Surprise! When we grew up we didn't want our apartments to look like our parents set them up in the 80s or 90s. My living room is (faux) dark cherry, my bedframe + nightstands are (painted) dark wood, my kitchen is light beige.
I hope you're right on number 2. We have to make sure that environmentalists don't succeed in demonizing whatever technology comes out on top. Now, at last, many young, educated people, especially with a technical background, are pro-nuclear. So, I am cautiously optimistic.
Yep, I don't keep up with new music that much anymore but when I saw the title of this post, my mind immediately went to these lads. Perhaps they thought that naming themselves after the genre would prompt more people to discover it but it backfired?
> Critical phone components (or rather, their drivers and/or firmware) are not open however.

They are either open or isolated in Librem 5.
Ok, I guess that's another important use case!
Anything else comes to your mind?

I am currently working on a project where we have 90+% of opt out from push notifications with <10% open rate, and for good reasons.

I am try to build an argument here for my manager haahah
For my birthplace in France, mostly only names I’ve never heard of. Would be nice to be able to filter by time period.
I believe everything else being equal data-driven is better.

Of course if data-driven means short-term with bad KPIs this version of data-driven will fail. I think a lot of people picture this A/B short-term testing when they think of it.

A data-driven approach is still far from objective and relies on choosing good metrics to optimize for.

To this end I would recommend the book "How to measure anything" from Douglas W. Hubbard (https://www.goodreads.com/en/book/show/444653.How_to_Measure...)
The "western solution" to this is to simply open the immigration taps - the thinking being there's an endless supply of young people from other parts of the world and you can just siphon some of them off as your new tax base to avoid dealing with the problem.

Except the entire world is having less children and becoming older. 50 years ago India had 5.473 births per women, now they're below replacement rate at 2.19. Even West Africa is declining: fertility rate chart-toppers Niger peaked at 6.762 in '79, they're down to 5.144 today and set to go below replacement rate (2.5) well before this century is out.
Reading the article, it didn't sound as if there was any such promise
+10 years could be interpreted as 10 years in the future, and makes perfect sense in that context, but -10 years for the past seems weird. I'm not sure why.
I do the opposite... Desktop is always muted, Slack and Email are on a second monitor, so I can check every hour.
Phone slack notifications are set only for mentions
Driving in the car with a Face ID phone is a nightmare. You hand it to the passenger to look at, it’s locked, you have to try to look at it while your driving, then if you get unlucky and it locks you have to enter your passcode while you’re driving (I have an alphanumeric passcode and it’s very hard to enter if I’m not looking at the phone). Touch ID, I could just plop my thumb on the home button without looking.
If they've promised it, they have to give it, but they could always say "We're having to do a round of layoffs, the optics of a traip would look bad, so instead for this year we will give you a one-off bonus equal to the value of the trip of $Xk."
Thanks for the second link! It's good to see someone (sympathetic to PHP) address the issues reasonably objectively.

That's part of why I carefully wrote 'old-style PHP'.
The assertion wasn't that that model was somehow better or "more engaging" (as if that even means something is better...): it was that it is essentially now missing as Facebook pivots from being a social network to trying to do this other thing that is competing with their strategy to force people to "engage" more with their friends (which I 100% agree doesn't scale as well as engaging with dedicated creators).
It's never been more acceptable to do things like quit your job and become a digital nomad for a few years.

Cannibals is legal in parts of the US, and the richest person on earth is as famous for doing interviews high as the number of companies he runs.

And Feeld makes the NewYorker as in a story about how it lets you easily organise threesomes or find a fetish partner.

Open your eyes a bit - the world has never been as encouraging of trying different things as now.
Just reading this gives me Zen vibes :D
They don’t own ALL vape companies, just those most heavily marketed.
Looks promising, keen to try it out.

Related question though: why do so many FTS offerings in the space also try and offer column/analytics features?
In my experience, I've already got a database for that, I'd really just love to see a FTS engine that _just_ searches text and filters responses, as fast and accurately as possible. Leave the analytics to my column database, just search the text as fast as possible.
> Manticore only has an ability to plug your own single filter in

It's true that Lucene has more token filters and is perhaps more flexible. It's partly because Manticore's another focus is simplicity and ease of use, so there are:
* just "charset_table=non_cjk" which is a default and should work for most languages (it already does case folding and accents folding)
* on top of that you can apply one or multiple morphologies: stemmers (available for many languages via libstemmer library and some stemmers are built-in), lemmatizers (available for English, German, Ukrainian and Russian languages)
* "charset_table=cjk" + "morphology=icu_chinese" to segment Chinese text
* you can combine that all if you wish
* built-in stopwords for most languages

and of course prefix search, infix search etc.

But what we really want is that the default settings work fine in most cases.
FaceID, sucks. It pulls attention away from whatever I am doing and forces me to fully stop. I hate it so much that I am seriously considering using a pixel 3 as a soft token/rsa fob.

I have dozens of mfa codes 5 apps, requiring me to stop, look at my phone wait for it find my ugly face so I can click ‘yes it me’, in Okta, MS Authenticator, Duo, Google Authenticator, Symantec VIP, is ridiculous.

I want my freaking 6s with a phone jack. /endrant

Wow this is amazing. A lot of places are known for a mid-level pro soccer player that you're unlikely to have heard of, unless you are very into it.

How does it know when it's appropriate to cut the dataset a little bit finer? I'm amazed how appropriate the names are that it turns up.
I am sorry but I cannot parse your first paragraph, so I do not understand your point. Thus I have written a general reply to your link.

I do not read any clear recommendation for or against Bitcoin in the link you have given (maybe I did not read it carefully enough).

It might be my understanding of Bridgewater that is wrong, but I think of them as mainly targeting institutional investors and high net-worth clients. So when Mr. Dalio writes “Bitcoin looks like a long-duration option on a highly unknown future that I could put an amount of money in that I wouldn’t mind losing about 80% of.” I do not think of that as dissuading an allocation to bitcoin at all, he is merely warning about the size of the allocation, in contrast in the same letter he talks about Bitcoins gold like properties and he has generally been quite vocal about the benefits of an allocation to gold, so I take that as a positive overall impression.

Though I think the daily observations from 2022-01-14 is much clearer as a recommendation for bitcoin. In it they write about how Bitcoin and Ether are now large and liquid enough for them to be worth the time of institutional investors to look into. And they write that they think institutional adoption is likely to pick up in coming years.

I might be reading too much into it, but when I read the piece I got the clear impression that it was a recommendation to make a small allocation to bitcoin. After all who does not want to get in before the big institutional investors?
Oh my God. You met one of your friends on TikTok and that's reason enough to absolve it of any negatives?
Update: I received a response from Apple now:

"You were sent an email today noting that your banking information in iTunes Connect is invalid and needs to be corrected. This email was sent in error and you do not need to update banking information. We apologize for the error."
How's the battery life? My wife got a 12 mini and while I love the size, the battery is abysmal and barely lasts a day for her.
I recently migrated to a degoogled ROM and since many apps use google for push notifications, I've just been going without. And JTS honestly been quite freeing. If someone needs a quick response they can reach me on signal.

not a dynamic executable

But it might not be the case for all systems. And some things, like using CGO or performing DNS lookups, will necessitate dynamic linking.
Not the poster, but this library is completely undervalued. I am a big fan of it.

Using standard type annotations in python and adding some @typechecked annotations can be much easier than adopting mypy in an organisation. It helps adopting typechecking incrementally for people who would never decide to adopt it otherwise, and it brings benefits immediately.
Plenty of old men walk shirtless in coastal cities, though.
At the stratosphere's temperatures, water usually turns liquid or solid and rains off. Why isn't this the case here?
It lost it’s meaning in as early as 1876 apparently so you can’t blame kids these days.

But I don’t like its use as a hyperbolic no-op.
I don't think any company is more data driven than any other. After they're successful, companies all need some minimum of measurement. Some say they're data driven but internally data is usually a mess. The right question is, are there any companies where data is not a mess? I'm guessing not.
It doesnt matter as much as people think.

We have 6 inch chimp brains. That puts a hard limit on how much individuals or groups can utilize technology tools. Tech has grown at a much faster rate than ppl can actually use it optimally. There is just a simple choice - pretend people can keep pace or accept they cant.
> I think this is true in the US (from the stories I've heard/read about at least), I grew up in Southeast Asia though, there isn't much of a culture for over-prescribing (or prescribing anything really :p) people medication there.

Yes, in some ways Asia has the opposite problem, not prescribing strong enough meds for emergency situations.

> certainly prescribing kids things like Ritalin at young ages when they're naturally a bit hyper definitely doesn't help either.

Yeah, I don't get this. Kids can't sit in class all day, with two parents working and too tired at home to bring them out after hours. People need exercise for their brains to work.

So how do you get calendar reminder about important event? Same goes, how do you figure out you have new email or IM message?

Does this mean you have to open calendar, email and IM app all the time to find out there is nothing new? Seems like waste of time/energy to not use notification just to show some statement.

I have 24/7 DND mode with notifications only on my watch with email, calendar and IM (and on IM i mute people who bother me too much). Well also SMS, but I'm receiving only verification codes there rarely.
No, I don't allow notifications for any app or function on any device.

I'm highly technically competent. When I look at my older parents' phones and see the notification hell they're dealing with, I wonder how anyone ever thought notifications were a good idea?!

Back when notifications meant email, IM, and updates they were fine. Now everything wants to grab your attention. So now none of them get my attention, not even calls or text messages.
> Debt has to be serviced, and if it isn’t some asset is probably forfeited or you can be forced into bankruptcy. Not so for tech debt.

It is so for tech debt though. If you keep on accumulating it, at some point it's gonna have very negative effects: a ransomware incident, data leak or even a total company-wide standstill.
I always find it hilarious when someone who promotes trust in centralized institutions such as state-funded mass media complains about social media echo chambers - as if the latter is anything but one massive echo chamber itself.
Yes but there are 2nd order effects to consider.

1) The cooler it is, the more buffer/time you have to deal with a temperature issue
2) There is a thermal gradient between the hottest parts of the system and the cool ambient temperature. The cooler it is, the quicker that heat is removed. For every degree in difference, the cooling effect is increased/decreased.

That said, I wonder how many people actually know what the optimal should be and how many people just think that, hey, 15 degrees C should be OK!
Yes. Curious on this too.

Lambda/Paperspace/Coreweave do own their own servers (Lambda being the cheapest). That alleviates some security concerns.

It all depends on your security requirements though.
Not if you use more sunscreen, or sit in the shade.
That was incorrect of me to say. I was trying to say something like "He only has x key (core) points and if one is wrong it doesn't look good"

I used "core" incorrectly

It would be nicer to have it written in Python, and eventually bootstrap itself.

Anyway, good luck with project.
This is still preferable to a situation where 1 in 10 smokes, since tobacco smoke contains various ”boosters” intended to increase the effects of nicotine, including addiction.

Vaping does not generate dangerous particles in the form of second hand smoke — on the contrary, second hand tobacco smoke is around 95% as dangerous as smoking yourself.
The article says they sometimes play them slowly and speed the recording up to the correct speed afterwards.
> why you AREN'T afraid of this?

I think the trick is to understand it, and once you realize what your choices are, then it's an easy decision not dictated by fear. That is, you either work towards a future where choice remains, or you concede choice until you have none left.
> And this narrative that big companies are sucking up data and ruining society was pushed by "old" media in a struggle to remain relevant

A quick dismissal of the fact that this data collection was and is happening and has already had massive effects on society.

Just because it is in the interest of "old" media to point this out doesn't mean they're wrong.
I could never get Twitter. I remember friends being excited by it, but to me it was just adding short text to a page that probably nobody is going to see anyway. Then Instagram - I couldn't get that either. I put my photos up and what? I could do that on a forum with people with common interest. Eventually forums got closed so I realised you can add a # with the topic you photos / videos are about. But this is so limited and there is no guarantee people who are interested in it are actually going to see (because algo won't show them).
Then I installed Tik Tok to see what's the fuss about. So it's clearly aimed at people with short attention span. It was entertaining, but you can quickly catch the patterns of a typical Tik Tok video and it becomes boring. Basically the same themes just different people, locations and music. I couldn't watch that.
Then Facebook filled the niche of forums with their groups, but this is a dumpster fire - they hide comments, posts are not coming up chronologically and so on.
These platforms are not for you to learn anything or enterntain you, they just want your money.
If you're not picky, blending it is quicker in bulk.
Crazy how people think we have been only ignoring 50% of our potential when we were ignoring like 95%.
I use the 13 mini and am satisfied. The battery life is good, which is important… but I actually prefer touchID to faceID. The reason, I guess, is more consistent success and no accidental unlocking. It’s also nice to be able to unlock a phone on your desk without picking it up.
A lot of these are problematic because there was money - lots of it - to be made by misusing the terms.

See “decentralised” for a good example.
> Luckily the industry doesn’t really use this term [OOP] any more so we can ignore the changed meaning.

OOP is still a widely used term today.

> It used to mean “not waterfall” and now means “waterfall with a status meeting every day and an internal demo every two weeks”.

That doesn't sound waterfall-y at all.

> If you can hire a “DevOps engineer” to fulfil a specific role on a software team then we have all lost at using the phrase DevOps.

DevOps was never about eliminating all operations roles. It is about better cooperation between dev and ops.

> This one used to mean “psychologist/neuroscientist developing computer models to understand how intelligence works” and now means “an algorithm pushed to production by a programmer who doesn’t understand it”.

No, that's never what it meant. It was always a branch of computer science, going as far back as Alan Turing.[0]

> Previously something very specific used in the context of financial technology development.

Not at all. It was coined by Ward Cunningham[1] who happened to be working on financial software. The metaphor was never meant to be restricted to financial software. The fact he was working on financial software is largely irrelevant other than possibly having given him inspiration for the metaphor.

> Was originally the idea that maybe the things your software does should depend on the things the customers want it to do. Now means automated tests with some particular syntax.

Again, completely wrong. The article that introduced BDD was explicitly about automated testing.[2]

Some people use them and some are very, VERY effective.
Problem is, that's like for the 1% of what gets sent out.

I've been working with iOS apps for 10 years or so now, I've seen apps where push notifications alone drive 20%+ of the revenue, and other projects where the opt-out rate is ~90% with an open rate of ~10% (meaning literally 99% of users ignore the notification)
I think we agree a lot of good work goes unrecognized. Just pointing out no one works truly alone.

Off topic: I imagine parenting must feel extra weird. :)
It's not that it has stopped, but there is less and less open topics where there is no solution. And those topics are usually (in my experience) niche topics and will get better discussion in GitHub issues or in a similar system. Or related to a legacy stuff, then SO could help.

In addition to that, quality of experience, code, as well as quality of documentation increased comparing to before .net core. I find myself often going to the official docs for documentation now, or just look in the sources or even debug the internals using available debug symbols.
I love vim. I am not one of those users who has a huge number of plugins and takes part in an extended eco-system that they perhaps do not fully understand -- for the last ~20 years of my life I have been trying to learn a little more vim each time I use it. I often don't, but it just has so many surprises that when I feel frustrated, I try to work out the "vimmish" way of doing things. Occasionally I give into temptation and take this to extremes -- for example, writing macros that look like alphabet soup to make certain coding tasks easier. I'm never sure if this is really a good use of my time -- but I do enjoy it. I'm so grateful it exists -- it's everywhere, insanely fast, lightweight, and I've never crashed it.

Now, if there is one feature I would add to Vim, it would be "cat detection". I have a ginger cat that is irritatingly in the habit of jumping on the keyboard when he wants food.

You can only imagine how, in command mode, he effectively summons the textual equivalent of the Nine Hells of Ba'ator upon my open documents if I am not quick enough...
I couldn't find Maxwell, which is weird since Maxwell is present in the source CSV. He should be placed somewhere in Edinburgh.

Fantastic site nonetheless.
This might possibly be true for the types of music you named. Try it with world music in general (e.g,. south asian or middle eastern music) and you'll come across severe limitations and suggestions that simply do not work. Spotify doesn't even still carry even half the catalog of music from some of these regions. It's suggestions in (western) classical also have left a lot to be desired.
That's just not truth, i use phones without gapps for 5-8 years and hardly missing any notifications, both Whatsapp and Signal can push them, same with various email clients for instance Aquamail I use Business calendar pro and various other app, though I disable most of those to not be bothered. It's actually quite difficult for me to find app which could not push notifications on my no gapps phones.
I'm glad you got a good one. I didn't (Zenfone 5z), and after their customer ‘service’, have sworn off ASUS for good.

The survival curve of Western populations is "squaring", i.e. the age of the oldest is not increasing as much as the average age. You can see this effect for England and Wales in the graphic below [0].

So the extent of the "problem" (if it is one) will not continue to increase at the same rate in the future as it did in the past.

Re: 2.

Abundance of energy is never gonna happen. Entropy is a bitch. Its always going to be a struggle.
Do Not Disturb mode. 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. No notifications, no texts, no calls, nothing at all begging for my attention. Once you've tried it, you'll never go back. I now use my devices when I want, on my own terms, and on my own schedule, not when some app company product manager or other rando people want me to use them. To me, using a computing device should be a deliberate act, with a purpose and limited duration, not some mindless response to stimulus. I'd say my quality of life has increased since making this change--I'm no longer being trained to allow (and get anxious about) arbitrary interruptions throughout the day. I feel I have more time in the day to do what I want without my device constantly begging me to "check in".

I go home and visit my parents and their devices are beeping and buzzing and vibrating every 5 seconds or so. It's like living on the Las Vegas strip. I see people out in restaurants together constantly picking up their phone over and over because it's dinging at them. I can't even imagine myself living like that anymore.
Yeah, likewise. Alongside that I'm also expected to do backend development. I feel like I'm allowed no downtime or get any "easy wins". I wonder if that can quicken burn out onset
