While there are of course radical environmentalists whose position often have little to do with actual environment protection, most people wouldn't object to a technology just because it is new. But of course, if it is really bad for the environment, people will rightfully object.

And while nuclear is low-carbon, what certainly is of high importance, there are serious environmental concerns. It is not crazy nor demonizing, if you raise those.
I use notifications, and alarms, and timers all the time.

It’s an accessibility (as in a11y) thing. Notifications are a tool that some of us depend on, and some of us will never need.

Like many people with ADHD I forgot stuff. Important things, non-important things. For so many different reasons, some reasonable other just frustrating.

So when I know now I need to do something in the future, say in 3 hours (like take the clothes out of the washing machine), I’m gonna set a timer. Otherwise you could place a solid bet I’ll forget.

It goes for other things too. App notifications are a critical part of my ability to stay on top of things.

Snoozing is one of the most consequential features to have been added. I used google inbox for this feature alone (then de-googled after they shut it down).

I use Slack’s remind me more than twice a day.

The ability for a different system to act as both time based memory, and an external prompt that I need to look at something takes a huge cognitive load of me.

But, this only works with apps that respect notifications. Those apps (looking at you Uber), that push marketing notifications down the same channel as the critical transactional ones are nothing but enraging.

I’m sure they think it’s good for their numbers, but it breeds a discontent with the brand. Because you’ve taken a communication channel I depend on and made it unreliable. If I can’t know for sure that an Uber notification is time sensitive, I’m going to mute them and stop using the app. But for Uber it’s worse, I’ve learnt they are time sensitive (car is arriving), and when I’ve gotten the marketing notification out of the blue, I’m not in a mood to receive it because I’m wondering why I have an Uber booking, because that’s what I would expect from prior usage.

I do take a fully opt in approach to notifications and I think everyone should. If you’re getting interrupted by a notification it has to be more important than what your currently doing. If not, it’s going to be a negative experience.

So, notifications. They’re a powerful accessibility tool. Which means we’re all gonna configure them differently, and it means abuses the trust of uses who’ve given you permission to interrupt them is something you should treat as a liability not an acceptable cost of pumping your numbers.
Neovim is teen-cool, but seemingly gui was not their priority at all for years. Unless you’re trying to configure vim as vscode for some reason, don’t bother yourself and use gvim on linux/windows or macvim (mvim) on mac.

Or maybe I’m missing something here too, what “gui” means for you?

Edit: oh I see from other comments. No, this type of gui vim doesn’t do.

It sounds you misunderstood at least parts of the article. The ext3 comparison doesn't support or dismiss anything, it's to explain how there can be a filesystem in a file. They then go ahead and say how it could be a good single-file format if it were more database-like instead of filesystem-like. Other criticism of the format clearly take into account that it's a historically grown format which explains some of its idiosyncrasies, but that still doesn't mean it's not valid criticism. Especially the mentioned inconsistencies regarding data types and encodings can hardly be attributed to the registry being single-file, as you seem to suggest by saying "The Registry being a single file is a cause of a ton of problems, and is IMHO the root of all the other problems."

Your idea is more or less right, but the problem here is that Nyquist only applies to continuous functions, which a GIF is not. At frame boundaries the frequency is potentially infinite, like an ideal square wave.

A GIF is already a sampled signal.

Yes, you can LP-filter the GIF but that's no longer reproducing the original signal, which wasn't band-limited to begin with.

You're right that, if the original signal that the GIF samples is band-limited to 1/2 the Nyquist rate (which is a big "if") it can be accurately reproduced without aliasing by passing it through a reconstruction filter.
> 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.

What do you actually do during the day, that warrants such a brain-in-a-jar lifestyle with no need to interact with other people?
Performance. I mean really long lines, not merely lines which exceed window width. Vim is a bit better at that than Emacs, but it still slows to a crawl on some large lines. Sublime Text e.g. never has any problems with long lines on the other hand, no matter how long.
I always find the position of telling people to never point out problems, only suggestions or solutions odd.

From something as basic as a management philosophy of "don't come to me with problems, come to me with solutions" to this "Don't suggest terms not to use, suggest terms to use"

A person can identify a problem without having a solution, or identify something is wrong without knowing the full solution.

So in this context a person can believe people using "DevOps" or "Agile" or "Tech Debt" in various ways to be a problem without having to suggest a solution to the problem

If we just ignore problems we have no personal knowledge of the solution then I think that would end in every bad results over all, take for example a basic concept I think everyone would understand, my car is making an odd noise, I know that is a problem, but I have no idea what the solution is. I don't think anyone would say you should just ignore it, or have to present the auto mechanic with a fully fleshed out solution to the problem before taking it in for service.
To be honest I use Spotify the same way I used iTunes back when I was a teenager. The main difference is that I'm paying to browse some company's filesystem instead of using my own.
What is it using to calculate the ranking? Definitely wrong in Argentina, where Diego Maradona does not even appear when you filter by Sports (!).
Yes. My wife and I chat basically all the time, and some of it is timely questions.

If the only way to get a timely response would be to call, then she'd he to call. And i would have to pick up. And maybe she's in a meeting.

Maybe she's presenting something in a meeting and asking me to check if there's any problem with our wifi. She can't call me; she's busy.

But things like YouTube notifications, or "ring the little bell" calls to action. No... Just... Why in the fuck would i want to do that?

Even without any improvement, I don't want to have to worry about having multiple cords for my phone. I charge my phone at night while I sleep, so as long as it charges fully in a couple of hours, that's "good enough" in exchange for the convenience of a single cord.
Sure, they are primary care providers making $110k or real estate attorneys making $120k, instead of $400k in private practice in a rich area or partner at the big firm making millions.

But most developers aren't making that either. I get that there are some few who are making $400k to millions, but the median developer pay in every software field according to the stack overflow survey is ~80k.

Your average small town doctor is likely out-earning your average developer, so I think it's a good comparison.
I think LogQL[1] is a pretty good alternative to Lucene search syntax. It feels more natural and human friendly for searching logs.

Ethereum, like USD but unlike Bitcoin, does not have a fixed supply cap. The protocol 'prints' new currency every minute. The EIP 1559 document even made this point clear: Ethereum no longer has a strictly deflationary or inflationary design - it depends on the current block space demand and issuance rate. At the moment there is more Eth being issued than burned, so it is inflationary[1].

> rules being set ... by wealth

I'm not sure where you got that. Depending on what you mean, in PoS some rules are set by node operators - software that can be run by anybody for free - and the hard rules of the protocol are set by social consensus.

I think this discussion also misses the forest for the trees: Eth tokens are not coupled to dollar wealth. Ethers are not "up-only" and they do not need to be for the network to function. A boom or bust in the price of Eth does not change the price of DAI or USDC, and pegged stablecoin tokens is what users would be transacting with if we are entertaining the idea of a crypto alternative to VISA.

I bought iPhone 11 when it came out, never wear a case and dropped it numerous times. It still works fine, with the original screen intact(not counting some scratches).

It survived even flying from an e-scooter after I’ve hit a bump on 15 km/h and sliding couple meters on asphalt afterwards.

And after all that it still had no problem when I dived into the pool with it and shot how I’m riding on a water slide.

Maybe I’m just lucky but it feels like you are exaggerating iPhone fragility. They’ve improved a lot recently.
> The UNIX way is undeniably more flexible since it isn't a virtual filesystem, it is just a filesystem.

Unix simply doesn't have a "way" in that regard, other than a loose convention to put text files in "/etc". Every application comes up with its own format. Parsing that file is application-specific. Updating a value in a text file means re-writing the whole file again. It is a technically-inferior approach that has survived in time because text files are still text files.
It sounds like your workflow works great for you, and that's great!

You asked how some people to live without notifications, and I gave an example of how. That's it.
The point is that if the MIDI file and the synthesiser in question are all on the same system (i.e. a VST in a DAW), no MIDI data transfer has to take place. So the data transfer limit in question isn't applicable.

Fame is such a bizarre and frankly perplexing concept. It does not
equate to achievement, to competence or success per se. It says
nothing of the goodness or value of a person, the wealth they created,
the families they raised, the hearts they broke, and very little of
the suffering and joy they experienced as actual people. It's an
ever-fading trace left in the (mostly) written records of
institutions, where the narrow spotlight of social consciousness shone
at some time.

What I find most interesting as I explore history and civilisation is
the marginal web that supports what is "notable". Almost every
breakthough has a "revisionist" version of someone else who made a
simultaneous advance. Or allegedly had the limelight stolen from them.
Every Crick and Watson have their Rosalind Franklin. For every Charles
Babbage and Alan Turing there's an Ada Lovelace or Mavis Batey. And
yet those are at least "noted". Who and what lies behind those figures
in the third and fourth rows of history's group photograph, "fame"?
FWIW, I agree with the other poster in that I don’t associate Teotihuacán with the Aztecs, and I think your rudeness is misplaced.

The analogy to the Coliseum is imprecise, because the Italians are the descendants of the ancient Romans, rather than a new group who migrated in later. A better analogy would be saying that the Hagia Sophia isn’t Turkish, and indeed I’d argue that it isn’t.

Artificial Gravity (Video, 2019)
To be fair, France and the US are very very different. When we talk about rural areas in the U.S., we're not talking about Bordeaux, one of the most famous and prestigious wine growing regions in the entire world, a literally world famous rural area beloved by the elite of dozens of nations.

We're talking about flyover country. The kind of place that rich Parisians would only ever fly over and would never for any reason consider actually going to.

We're also talking about having so much space that the idea that developers could mess up local housing markets is crazy! In the US, packing developers together ruins housing markets (see the SF housing market ruined by tech companies) and spreading them out across the other 49 states and ~thousand+ rural locations prevents most out-sized effects, except in a few prestigious places known for elite vacations.
First impression is that it looks pretty clean, but I am not really fond of the full-width layout.

I am not sure I understand what "announce user feedback" means.

As far as I understand, it is like a https://canny.io/ alternative.

I don't understand how it collects feedback from different platforms, do I have to link my GMail to it? Also, I don't think "feedback" has a plural.

I didn't misunderstand anything. I read this in 2010 and just re-read it.

The ext3 example is used exactly as I describe, to hand wave away "having a file system in a single file" as a criticism and just move on to talking about nitpicks with the Registry's implementation of a filesystem in a file, while ignoring that all of the problems with the registry spawn from the choice to have it be a filesystem in a file.

It's not really fair to put words into people's mouths like that. It's a pithy thing to do in places like reddit to get laughs and "gotcha" moments but I think HN prefers to give people the chance to explain themselves, and the benefit of the doubt.

If you think that's what they believe, then if you ask questions instead you give them the opportunity to explain it better. When you tell someone what they're saying rather than letting them say it, they have to spend time defending themselves against things they never said.
It's hard to tell, because it somewhat coincided with interest rates moving (first down, then now up), but it seems to have increased rental supply enough that the rental market is becoming competitive. Land prices generally went up, which you would expect when you can extract more rents from the same piece of land. More housing density = more rent per land area!
It hasn’t been a document browser for at least 2 decades though.

The web and browsers like many languages, are not something any one person or group can authoritatively prescribe.

Would be low in that area for a traditional engineer (not developer) with 10 years of experience. For 5 years, it probably makes more sense in this economy and that area.

Not exactly what you're looking for, but I hope it helps. I'd say the average IT person or programmer tracks well with engineers. On the high end, I'd say developers can make a lot more (i.e. Facebook, Google, Amazon...etc).

It isn’t a single file. There are multiple “hives” to the registry. There is at a minimum the SECURITY, SAM, SYSTEM and BCD “hives” that are all individual files on disk. Additionally, individual UWP apps can have their own isolated hive if need be.

It's thicker, which is bad, but at least that allows for a side mounted fingerprint sensor. A rear mounted one is inaccessible on a phone holder, car or bicycle.

It weights a lot more.

The quality will be essentially perfect. The wave file is rendered in software, as slowly as it needs to go. The rendering speed has nothing to do with playback speed, sampling rate, or frequency. Think of it like a ray tracer generating a few pixels a second and gradually building up the frames of a movie. You could generate one audio sample per second and save them to a file, and twelve hours or so later you'd have a 1-second long piece of 44.1kHz audio. There is no speeding up or resampling or transposition involved because the audio file was generated with the right sample rate (nothing to do with the generation/calculation rate).

I really don't believe that these are all your options for learning to cook. You can be taught by a friend or a parent. You can just read a recipe online and try to follow along. You can take classes - you don't have to apprentice in a professional kitchen.

Beyond that everyone has to eat. So they know what they like to eat. So for me, the argument that 'you can't type what you don't know' doesn't really hold for me. You're googling for something you do know and then from there if you don't know one of the steps (dicing an onion) you can pretty trivially look that up.
To be fair, Microsoft doesn't rely on the registry for complex configurations either, even IIS uses .config files.
