I've set my phone so I only receive calls and some texts from people who are close during most of the day. Between 9 and 10 pm I allow the rest, resulting in all notifications received during the day showing up at 9 pm sharp. This makes it easy and quick to just sift through them.
Damn, it looks that legit? And it's only $1500 in Turkey (plus flight/stay)?

> if it was fully accepted they were genuinely the bottom ten percent of performers.

The problem is that your "If" rarely happens in the real-world. In situations of competitive evaluative performance, the person who loses out usually doesn't agree with the outcome of the process and the 'winners' rarely have reason to complain or post about it.

Certainly there must have been situations where external variables (product cancellation or whatever) result in layoffs of non-bottom-10%-ers. But in high-growth tech companies, this instability is simply an ambient fact of life. My point was that highly-paid, high-skill tech roles in FAANG-type growth companies come with higher variability, some of which is going to be out of the employee's control. These jobs typically come with total comp packages which can be worth millions of dollars over time due to equity grants. That's there to compensate for the variability.

What? The streaming games market started way before Google (OnLive, Sony, etc.) and now it's mostly Nvidia and Microsoft. Google entered late, never invested much in it, never advertised much... they just totally botched the execution and their competitors got all the players. Nvidia's service is getting better all the time.
He did. And before that he was in AR/VR. I know a few execs who have done similar hops: jumping from one hype space to the next in the hopes that one of them disrupts the whole industry and they get launched up in their career.

From the standpoint of someone discovering Hackernews, it's renowned for accepting (or at least upvoting to the top) only quality contributions, while this article is literally a shitpost.

I've added Twitter to my blocksite and redirect to Hackernews homepage, so that I get smarter everytime I am tempted to read social networks during my productive time. An article like this makes me feel like I should redirect Hackernews to Twitter instead.
But then you can’t test the conversion on realistic ”production” files, and you may miss something. Better not limit features, only amount of files and speed of conversion (the queue / progress bar is a good place to remind free users of the fact.)

This also nets the company lots of good karma by letting many others out of one-off binds where they are stuck with a file they cannot open.

Getting the company name out there as a dependable savior will make your brand stand out in casual conversations.

Then it will be an easy sell to agencies that actually use these kinds of products and are willing to pay for them.

However, don’t try to upsell from the free tier, and don’t make it annoying to use. It will make people avoid the free service. You want users to tell others of the great service that saved their bum just before the looming deadline.

And with that particular name, the company could even base its marketing on literally that.

In Slovenia the most beautiful beach in my opinion is a designated FKK spot. I just go there clothed and so do 99% of other people. My feeling is that even topless sunbathing is slowly dying out.

A work I take notes of all the meetings I attend in Markdown with Notepad++, and they're in a folder that's backed up automatically. There are pages in Confluence for ongoing work, and I no longer use OneNote.

A home, I keep a diary, one file per month, lightly formatted text (not Markdown) edited with vim with a nightly script that converts parts of the text into a set of web pages and drops them into an in-house Wiki. That's the Wiki I wrote close to 20 years ago that's a holding pen for pages on pretty much any subject that interests me. A hand-written NLP/NER pipeline munges the pages looking for interesting material and generates indexes that get added into the Wiki as well. The pipeline still needs a lot of work, because right now it's more "interest" than production ready.

The wiki is hugely useful for material clipped from web pages and emails as well as notes that I write myself. Documentation for any of the software I've written for myself and still use is there as are several hundred old Usenet threads. There's a big list of media that I want to view/read/consume at some point, and more gets added than gets marked off.

I'm still looking for the perfect PIM (and yes, I do know there's no such thing), and the search generates notes as well. If I ever find it, it's going to replace Joplin (like the UI but not the need for a database), Dendron (like flat files but not the UI), Drafts (like the virtual notebooks built from tags but find the UI clumsy) and of course the wiki I wrote.
The chain in a chain-gun refers to the motor drive not a chain that hold the cartridges, it just an auto cannon that has its action being operated a motor drive basically it’s a very fast repeating rifle.

It doesn’t have much to do with how the ammo is loaded. Also most auto cannons today even the high fire rate ones that are used for CIWS and AA aren’t chain guns.

I don't doubt that this is the case to some extent, but I also think that good products (and apps are no exception), once they become popular, inevitably get ground into dust by the unending desire for unlimited growth at any cost.

I don't really have a preference, but having done my first couple flights in close to 20 years in the past 3 months, I was struck by how much has changed in that time.

PreCheck and Global Entry weren't around when we went to Bermuda in August 2001. It was a trip notable not only for its proximity to 9/11 - by chance, my bag was searched either before we left L.F Wade in St. George's or on arrival back in Newark, but this happened without my knowledge and I only found out about it because customs had repacked it included a note informing me of this fact inside. - and also because a trip to camp the previous week was the start of an ear infection which burst my ear drum on the plane going down.

Fun times.

However, I quite like the idea of passport control on a train happening before you embark on the departing leg of a trip. With those formalities out of the way, just collect your bags at the destination and you're free to go.

I don't know if the FAA or TSA would consider this too burdensome to implement, but it's an idea.

Unsubstantiated rumours can make the front page now? For shame.

I mean, I think it will likely shut down before too long, but this article adds no useful information or even opinion, just hearsay.

Here’s a question: does Google have a reputation for killing off products in wider circles, not just among tech insiders? That is, does the average person really care about this stuff?
This perpetuates the fallacy that all "scientific effort" is in some way fungible, and if you took scientists off one project, you could just put them on another one without any friction or loss of effectiveness.

That makes about as much sense as suggesting you could take me, a PHP developer, off the project I'm on now, throw me onto a team developing embedded OSes for medical devices, and have me just pick right up and be fully productive on day 1.

It also presupposes that as long as there is even one important hard problem out there, we should simply ignore all the less-important problems and throw all our resources at the most important one, which is also both unrealistic and fairly unhelpful.

Exactly. People’s time is too valuable when per capita GDP is $60k.
Doing that in a database is easy. You just write your keys on the "/root/path/subpath" format, and search the strings starting with some text. Most database engines have this kind of search heavily optimized. (And the ones that don't cost hundreds of thousands per core, so who cares?)

The one thing you lose by using a real database is that filesystems are only locally coherent, while databases try very hard to be globally coherent. If it has heavy access, the database way will lose performance much faster.
Friend of my was complaining about how he drove a junker.

Yet all the poor people in run down housing in the area were driving super nice cars. How can they afford the cars? He was asking.

So I asked him why the poor people with expensive cars were always broke?

He finally understood the trap of making poor finical choices.

Years later my wife teaches many poor families where she brings in tons of snacks because the kids don’t get enough to eat. She gives them school uniforms because clothes are full of holes.

Same kids have all the latest video games and cell phones. Parents often drive nice cars with designer

There are exceptions of course. There is the kids that get dropped off in the landscaping van, because that is the only car they have.
You make a valid point, there is a completely free version actually, but you can also try the paid version 14-days for free. After signing-in you can choose the free plan or the trial, but I get your point, you might feel like you are running in some sort of trap. Maybe we could make a link to the pricing page there to make it more clear.

This is entirely beside the point, but I think Lego instructions were my first real foray into technical documentation. It's surprising how well they worked. Their ability to boil down a complicated process into something a 10 year old could follow was impressive. As I got older I sort of dismissed them as antithetical to creativity, but after doing Lego robotics with some kids I began to realize the value I got from them.
And the schedules. Tokyo train schedule slippage is measured in seconds.
>... you still have a working phone

You do, but if Google literally dropped support of their phones, you'd never get another security update, so it'd be in your best interest to move although not mandatory like if Stadia shut down. The comparison is about peoples' visceral reaction to Google products when they're disappointed, not specifically when the product is dropped.

> What significant things are much better on non-Google Android phones?

Not my point and frankly I have no clue: I've had a google android phone of some kind or another since the G1, which if that reference is lost on you is the original android phone.

Sounds like you need to embrace the "Zen of Wally" my friend. Just pull up Dilbert.com search for Wally and then read every strip associated with him. At the end you will understand. You will also receive extra points if you do this while you are supposed to be working as that is practicing not just living the Zen of Wally.
It helps that Valve is privately owned and thus less likely to chase growth over other things.

Hopefully when the current owners age out the new leadership will continue as it is.

The center of population in the US is still just barely to the west of the Mississippi, whenever people point out how vast and largely empty the US is, the leave out that the population itself is actually generally fairly close together for a majority of the country.

You could easily have HSR all over the south, Midwest and NE, and then between population centers on the west coast, just likely not in the desert and western Great Plains.

>> drivers belong to the kernel

> No, they do not. A modern computer is extremely modular, and the driver subsystem should be equally modular and allow easy plug-and-play.

I get this.

> The Windows NT driver model excels at this, and the Linux model of compiling drivers into the kernel is comparatively asinine.

The linux driver model guaranteed me much better compatibility when using the SAME driver under different architectures and they continued worked when the kernel was updated.

> Every time I update the Nvidia driver on Arch I have to wait for it to compile into the kernel with DKMS.

This is a good example of the problems that happen when a driver is not in the kernel.

>For the record, I find some UNIX behaviours equally anachronistic.

Sure! One of my favorites: you can't have a directory with ":" in its name on your PATH.

the registry needs to be read by device drivers including the drivers for tcp and nics, including during very early boot. this would make HTTP a challenge. Also implementing a json parser in the kernel sounds like a bad idea
I'm not even thinking about legality.

My issue with "just download a crack" is that I have to spend time hunting down the crack, and I can't be sure the crack won't include malware, or won't introduce bugs which only appear later in the game. The last of these has happened to me on multiple occasions. A cracked game is no longer the product I bought.

By contrast, when I buy a game on GOG, I get a product that is DRM Free and will work forever—and because it's the product I actually purchased, I receive some minimal level of assurance from the retailer.

I would feel somewhat differently if there was a single "universal" crack that worked on all Steam games, or even which worked on 95% of Steam games and failed in a predictable way on the remaining 5%. This is the case for iTunes TV Shows, and so I have no problem paying for those, because I can run them through some software and I know the DRM will get stripped correctly every time with no quality loss. I'm not aware of any such software for Steam games.
Really wondering about the origin of that phrase. The literal translation is "ass of bag"?
It’s almost forgotten how much resentment Americans had to the private railroads. They would buy land along the tracks, refuse to make a stop in your town, and start a new town. There was a phrase, ‘railroaded’ to describe being a victim of this power imbalance.

As such, people saw the roads as belonging to everyone but railroads being to the benefit of a few.

I’ve used Nair before. They have or had various creams you leave on for <10 minutes and they chemically remove hair.

The problem is a lot of the creams might be too harsh for your scalp. The other problem is they don’t remove 100% of the hairs so you might still need to go over the area with a razor.

They were still great when I used them, though. IMO they’re easier to use than shaving.

I've tried to find a flaw with this argument and admittedly it's pretty hard. As long as you accept to pay a above the market price for the game and you don't care about retaining ownership then it somehow makes sense.

I'm guessing this value proposition is what made it unsustainable for Google.
They're completely fungible, and the "damage" to the manufacturer, even a potentially contrived "piracy is theft" argument doesn't hold up. You already bought the game, the developer got paid as much as they would have if the service stayed up. Just because the service provider shuts down doesn't change those facts.

It's hard to overstate how different the European rail experience is from the American experience. SF<->LA is a 50m, $50 flight. It's approx. 9h and $400 by rail. In practice, the last time I attempted that route it took 15h because the train had issues halfway and none of the assigned seats had power or legroom.

If version mistaken, you must be thinking of just two distros.
