I agree completely, it's a powerful concept, just too narrowly applied.

The 'technical' part points out that it's a special kind of debt, one that isn't measured directly in money. What's the debt? The debt is time.

You can't move some technical (which isn't a noun), or some money (which is), from one account to another, to pay down a time debt. You have to pay it off with skilled labor, which takes time in a way that isn't fungible with money: there's a lot of COBOL out there which can be lightly modified, or replaced, but that company can't find the hours of skilled labor to do more with it, at any price.

A codebase isn't the only time debt a company can incur, any process can be stuck in a suboptimal frame because no one wants to sign off on the time it would take to make it right.
Turned them all off except for a select few app - WhatsApp, messages and the like, and even then my phone is on silent mode all the time.

I only noticed that i had notifications turned on for Uber, and was notification spammed by them for some sort of promotion - disabled immediately.
There are many types of dump trucks that you can use in your business. The type you need depends on a number of factors including the size of the truck you are looking for and what it will be used for.

Leonardo da Vinci ahead of Hitler is pure fantasy.

95% of the population don't know who he was, his profession or are able to cite any of his work.

Everybody knows who Hitler is.

Mona Lisa vs. Hitler that I could see being a close one with maybe Mona Lisa ending up ahead. Still it would be Hitler IMHO.

But I don't think it's fair to attribute Mona Lisa fame to Leonardo
I'm not totally convinced this makes things better. To me, the problem with Redux is the whole act of having a ritual ceremony around every mutation you want to make to your state. To put things in perspective, I'm currently building an IDE from scratch "game development" style, in that I have a global "world" state that gets reflected in the rendered UI 144 times a second. So it's a similar paradigm to React -- except when I want to modify state, I just do it. Like I literally just mutate the variable by writing to it. Sometimes I do a particular mutation in many places and at that time I will pull it out into a function, but in general writing to state is not this enshrined procedure. I could not fathom developing this thing while having to create a new slice/duck for every state change I want to make.

I guess some people see the enshrined procedure as a feature and not a bug, and it is possible you could weigh the benefits of Redux's features against the cost in engineering time and decide it's worth it.. but it doesn't seem like this tradeoff is being consciously made and analyzed. It seems more like everyone just assumes they need something like Redux the moment they have global state.
I've disabled them on everything but my phone as much as possible. My IPad Pro has none, my MacBook has the bare minimum the system will allow, and my phone only has them for messaging, email and time-sensitive stuff (like food or Amazon delivery).

First thing I do whenever I'm forced to use Slack or anything like it is to disable notifications on anything but direct messages or mentions.

My time is more valuable to me than other people's desire to take it up, especially for anything that isn't urgent.

I still don't know how to make my iPhone ring only on phone calls but keep notifications silent.
Same for me. But I end up never getting a call and needing to check cellphone every 5 mins. What is working great for me now is to turn off everything and just leave calls on loud (like phone was originally designed)
Calendars and emails usually don’t need push to show notifications. Email clients usually use imap streaming (if supported) or just poll your inbox every x minutes.

We are specifically talking about push via GCM / Apple here. Afaik signal opens a websocket in the background if GCM push is not supported. Or at least that’s how it worked a few years ago.

Google Cloud Messaging features (push) only work when you have gapps installed or use an alternative implementation like microg.

I assume that whatsapp also has some kind of fallback strategy built in.

Ha!

I'm a Slovene with fond memories going to FKK camps in Croatia. Koversada is like a small city where everyone is naked all the time except visiting the shop or restaurant. I feel that FKK culture has a lot to offer to children especially as they see all the varieties of naked bodies which probably helps with self-image in later years.

While I don't go to FKKs anymore due to my wife, we still hunt beaches where we can be naked all day.
Fair enough. But if the government is giving these companies suggestions, I find it hard to believe they wouldn't follow them. The government can retaliate against the companies in several ways.

Just alt-tabbed from an OpenStreetMap chat to HN and took "map" in the title as a verb. Mildly disappointed I don't get to map with them! (Was already wondering how this was going to work, figured it probably means the most well-known mapper or so.)
I check it out every few months or so when there's a new TikTok article on the front page of HN, and I can never understand it. All I see is 20-something nobodies dancing and making faces in front of a camera. I'm in my 40s and it's just not for me.
This map is so awesome. I want to do somethings similar for a hobby of mine, i'll have to check how you did the progressive zooming thing.
> Almost every software out there leaves waste behind in your registry after you uninstall it.

I think this is just a design flaw of the implementation itself.

Why couldn't every entry have a few more fields under the hood:

programsDependingOnThisEntry: [PROGRAM_FOO, PROGRAM_BAR]

I know that this might bloat the overall size of it, but in my experience most data structures that aren't a graph of some sort but need to be used by multiple consumers will eventually become full of orphaned data.

In this example, references to actual installed programs would make sure that when you have orphaned data it can be removed automatically (or the choice given to you), much like apt might suggest that you have some packages that aren't used by any other piece of software anymore.

For informative purposes, maybe also add:

entryFirstAdded: 2005.05.15 14:00
entryLastChanged: 2006.11.04 17:35
entryLastRead: 2008.10.13 13:00

The timestamps could optionally assist in figuring out when the values were changed/added/actually used, so you know how important something is. If an entry hasn't been accessed in 5 years of your daily usage or something, quite possibly it isn't awfully important.
Have we become stupider or is it just the ease with which we can throw out this vitriol?
This is a very solvable problem, at least for me. I only charge when I'm running low on battery and my phone tells me to and I never interrupt the charge cycle once it is plugged in.

I've been running a Galaxy S7 since 2016 like that and only now do the first battery issues slowly start to appear.
What? Newest Xiaomi flagship has less than 70mm. Newest Asus flagship has less than 70mm. Samsung flagship is 70.6 mm, Sony flagship is 71mm if you don't need flasghip Xperia 5 III has 68mm, Xperia 10 IV has 67mm.

It doesn't really feel like width would be problem, now jack, SD card or less than 150mm, those are more difficult to get.
As everyone tends to use different apps for messaging, I wish there was some sort of universal way to add contacts from any app to an "Always Send Notifications When These People Contact Me But Nobody Else" list. Like, I can mute individuals in Messenger or whatever, but I want to mute everybody but my wife and my parents back in the US in case of emergencies, whether they call me or text me or use Messenger or Whatsapp. That would obviate the need for DnD or silent modes for me, at least.

> If you consider this a tax, it is a tax distributed to all current and future holders of the currency, including the user doing the transaction.

Yes. A tax on every transaction apportioned by wealth to current holders (not to future holders because they will receive fewer tokens from constant input). A regressive tax.

> If "changing of the guard" means replacing VISA with thousands of VISAs in a decentralized network, where any non-VISA can become yet another VISA through permissionless software, that is far better in my opinion.

It's not 'thousands of visas' though. It's "a big faceless entity taking a fee on every transaction with the rules being set and the takings being apportioned by wealth" being replaced by "a big faceless entity taking a fee on every transaction with the rules being set and the takings being apportioned by wealth" the ability to volunteer to provide infrastructure doesn't change that.

> If you have another economic model than EIP 1559 that you feel is superior, you have the power to propose that as an EIP and start to develop consensus around it. EIP 1559 was first proposed in 2019 and it took some years for consensus to build around it.

The entire 'a deflationary token on one global trustless network, buy now or miss out' model has fundamental unsolved and potentially unsolvable flaws. It is capitalism distilled and on fast forward without the grifters even having to make the pretense of being involved in real productive activity.

We don't need 'currency but on the internet' to solve 'how do we distribute stuff'. We needto think about the problem from scratch. Blockchains may even be a part of it, but so long as d(wealth)/dt ~ wealth, it's just another method of making the same people rich.

Suggestion: Learn to make use of a slow cooker and pressure cooker and/or instant pot. You can cut a lot of hands-on time using these tools.

FWIW: I cook multiple meals (often borderline gourmet / better than any local restaurant) for my family of 5 and it doesn't take this many hours. The more experience you gain, the faster your prep. Combining ready ingredients (I'll use that boxed pho broth rather than making from scratch / I'll start with a canned marinara rather than scratch) and being able to reconstitute leftovers can go a long way toward only having to do a major cooking event every-other or every-three days.
This +1.

I have a similar setup and it definitely takes upwards of 20s for a cold boot. Though like mentioned above, I don't really do cold boots that often and my average uptime is about a 20 days (mostly rebooting to apply updates).

My guess is that doing proper power on self test (POST) stuff will always add a delay (having multiple network ports and 128G of RAM does not help).

Though a lot of modern OSes like Windows just cheat by hibernating instead of properly shutting down, so they can save on the time to load up stuff like drivers.
> she can be a knight
She cannot unless you mean cosplay.
Not the OP, but:

1. General awareness about what's on your plate. You don't need a reminder, you just need to know that you have meeting X at Y hours, or Z appointment on this date.

2. The difference is that you check email/IMs on your terms, which means that you decide when you want to take a break from whatever you're doing to look at and respond to anything in your inbox. If you have notifications on, your focus will keep getting taken away from whatever you're doing. Depending on what you're doing, this may or may not be important to you.
> I wonder how many people actually know what the optimal should be

Well, data center operations is a pretty competitive business with many acquisitions happening. Especially larger companies, like Equinix are buying up smaller companies. The large ones have entire teams dedicated to energy efficiency, both for cost savings and due to regulations popping up.

Coincidentally I've worked with a guy that does exactly this. His entire job is figuring out ways to make the data centers more efficient and I know that there are working groups where different operators come together to discuss ways to save energy.

So I'm sure not that many people will know the optimal temperature, but the ones that need to know, know. Small, on premise data centers might be winging it, but the ones that are running the majority of the internet are really trying to improve efficiency, just to stay competitive.

My S10e is still going strong, why are you looking for a replacement? The cpu and ram are still plenty to run any app that I've tried.

I've actually underclocked mine, limited the maximum frequency that is, to conserve battery because I don't need all that power. It gets quite hot if you unleash it and do something like have a constantly re-rendering map as you move about (OsmAnd routing). Aside from software problems that are not Samsung's fault (base android just gets more annoying with every version), the "too fast" cpu is the only flaw I've found with it and I'm kind of dreading needing to upgrade in a few years when android degraded further and headphone jacks are entirely unavailable.

My work phone (released 2021) doesn't have a headphone jack. Took a few hours to find a USB C converter where the reviews didn't say "doesn't work with <phone version 7>" (version 6 worked fine, it seems the manufacturer removed support for all the ones that previously worked) or "lots of noise on the mic" or "broke after 2 weeks". Couldn't find one where you could also charge without getting a ton of noise, so I got a wireless charger plus with a simple C to headphone converter. Wireless charging makes it extremely hot and the C converter has a loose contact on the third use. Great success, loving the headphone jackless experience.

Yeah, irrelevant misandry will do that.
This was way too long and shallow to be read 2x. There is literally nothing new under the sun there: even in the Akkadian stone (2500 BCE) writings one can read:

We have fallen upon evil times
and the world has waxed very old and wicked.
Politics are very corrupt.
Children are no longer respectful to their parents.

Similarly, Plato, Horace, but also scholars from Japan and China basically follow this trend from times immemorial (I will not even list contemporary philosophers striking this note). I wonder why is it that there is no recognition (or study) of the mechanisms and processes behind these common phases everyone is so keen to perceive. Narrating examples of where one's world view can explain the subjective interpretations is not a proof of a principle. It just does not have any significance to the broader audience (definitely not to me).
It's more in their style if they just thought it sounded cool.
> People need to stop looking at things in black and white.

How saying that USA is the absolute angel and China is the absolute devil is not a black and white but saying that USA and China pose similar risks is black&white?

Besides, a large number of Americans[0] are disputing the integrity of American elections, claim that America is ruled by a secret elite, claim that elections change nothing, claim that USA is about to be a dictatorship the moment gun control laws are introduced. Of course I don't believe in any of this BS but the movement of people who believe in this stuff is frightening and very weird things happen on the 6th of January in 2021 and things might change dramatically in near future. So yes, I do compare the USA and China in sense of a risk for Europe.

I'm actually surprised people have such good memories of these horrible things. Perhaps I missed something. If the iPad grew out of Netbooks then it's like it junked its own DNA and stole some good stuff from somewhere else.
Even randomizing your existing playlist plays the same music over and misses most of them. Not to mention the UI and flows are pretty terrible for a software that dominates the space.

A piano has only 88 keys (if you play outside of those it doesn't sound like a piano anymore, even on a computer). And if you use more than one piano at the same time, all what happens is a phasing effect if more than one hits the same note at the "same" time.

From benchmarks it seems that columnar storage shines when there isn't enough RAM avaliable. Lower cost full text search seems quite good value proposition.

And row-wise storage for lowest latency when cost is not a problem.

Also, I took a quick look at ranking. With things like BM25 and geo-spatial search it seems to be flexible and feature rich enough. I think it's time I take a serious look at Manticore.
Their “pro” phones are also for consumers.

“Pro” hasn’t meant “professional” in a very long time.
Probably not. Certainly not a true cold boot.

Anytime Windows does big "reboot-required" updates, the fast boot thing doesn't apply anymore and it can take considerably longer due to the forced cold boot.

Whenever an app or website asks me if I want notifications, I mentally substitute the word 'notification' with 'distraction'.

"Do you want to receive distractions from this app?"

Reads very differently and makes the correct answer much more obvious in pretty much every situation. No, no, no and no.

That's a modern take that shows what how puritanical we have become in the last 30-40 years. It's sad.
In art class in an American high school it was common to discuss and share digital images of famous nudes. I’m sure this system won’t interfere with that at all because of course the only nudity people might see or share is bad, right? In case my sarcasm isn’t clear: of course it will interfere with art classes. Imagine if the art under discussion is photography? Then students and teachers will be sharing real nudes which are completely appropriate under the supervision of adults. Pornography like artistic creativity is contextual and the eye of the beholder. Here we see the eye is a black box of AI. This is horrifying. Likely it will mean this type of education simply won’t happen in these spaces. This is a direct and immediate limitation on free people.

The primary problem with censorship isn’t usually the core motivation. We can all agree that adults shouldn’t send porn to kids, and kids shouldn’t send nudes to anyone, etc etc. Sadly we don’t all agree on what that means - the law is a poor substitute for thinking and understanding context.

Automatic policing will lead to automatic prosecution, we have seen this with Facebook intercepting messages and automatically dispatching relevant authorities. In the case of suicide risks, many agreed this was a public good. Is it a public good when it is done for pot which is illegal federally even though it is legal in California? Do we really want a private company making these choices? Do we really want them in the middle even if it’s “on device” when the device isn’t even open for meaningful inspection?

It is the infrastructure and the corner cases which create a chilling effect on society. Once this is done in one place, it will expand to others.

Do you really think that Saudi won’t push for this on every woman’s telephone? Why limit it only to children? And why limit it only to being opt in?

Do you really not see the future you’re endorsing and that apple is building based on profit motives which are dressed up as “obvious” moral protection schemes?

Remember: the husband in Saudi is the legal guardian/censor of his children but also his fully grown (usually but not always) adult wife.

This can technically expand to textual rather than image censorship as well, we should stop it before that happens. Your device is your own personal space as much as the device is yours or as permitted by law (eg union organization on company time and company computers is sometimes protected).

Providing solutions to do automatic policing on your own device is insanely totalitarian. It isn’t a solution to doing it on company servers which also should not happen. We should not be building this technology and we should regulate the companies to uphold basic civil liberties, especially when they are a de facto monopoly.
