Ask HN: Can you have more than 1 mobile SDK that supports push notifications?
Can a mobile app support more than 1 push notification if you integrate an SDK. The scenario is if you already have push services in your mobile app and then you integrate and SDK that also needs to use push notifications.

Omg for real, moved out of Dallas a few years ago but every moderately strong storm we would lose power. Totally ridiculous. They came and trimmed trees one time, and absolutely decimated a small tree on my property that had one branch close to the line, while leaving alone huge trees that were completely intertwined with the lines.
I knew this myth was going to be repeated as soon as I saw the parent comment.

Basic cable has never been ad free. Cable started out as a method to get broadcast TV - with ads - to people who couldn’t get it over the air.

Then the “Superstations” came like TBS and WGN. They were local stations - with ads - that got transmitted nationwide.

Then the early cable TV only channels came online like CNN, ESPN, and MTV - with ads.
Synchronous condensers or smart batteries. Australia has deployed a lot of the former to deal with this problem at solar farms.
This is great, thanks for the link.
You can't without defining yet another field, usually. It's really annoying to double the number of columns so that [time_started, time_finished] becomes [time_started_exists, time_started, time_finished_exists, time_finished].

NULL values makes business logic far more compact and intuitive. For enumerated values in fields it's easy enough to define another value in the same field to mean 'unknown' or 'not entered', but you can't do that for strings, numbers, datetimes, etc. -- you have to throw in a bunch of unwieldy additional boolean fields instead.
Nah. Corporations have mountains of money. They don’t need a little bit of free code. Sure, they’ll take it if it’s there, but it’s not necessarily that valuable to them, because they’re perfectly capable of building it themselves at low marginal cost.

What’s valuable to them is to drive the price of a particular product down to $0, if that will undermine a competitor in an area that the original company has no hope of winning, or if that product being free will cause people to buy more of their product. That is worth a huge amount of money and is something that they are otherwise unable to achieve.

It didn't need to, we were still happy enough to go the cinema for box office releases back then. Remember that streaming, despite how it might feel, is a stupidly recent thing. Disney went "let's get in on this cash cow" less than 5 years ago.
Yeah... this is totally wrong, or maybe it depends on where you live... Here, cheap bikes get stolen all the time. I started riding my heavy-ass, ancient, steel, suspensionless bike that I had bought 20 years prior for like $200 from Target. Not even a pawn shop would want to take the bike, because they are cheap junk. It got stolen from me in less than a week after starting a biking commute. And yes I locked it up. The lock was cut right off.

The thing is people aren't stealing them to always sell them. Sometimes it's just easier to quickly grab a bike when the thief needs to get across town for some other reason. When they get to where they want to go, they just ditch the bike. Sometimes I think some people just want to steal a bike for no real reason.

In Seattle, I've seen gigantic piles with hundred of bikes in them just sitting in a homeless camp. They clearly aren't selling those bikes, as they've been sitting out in the rain for months, or even years now. And I guarantee those homeless camps aren't full of multi-thousand dollar bikes.
It's better to use price signals to ratchet demand up if you can.

Social fork here means running some other software basically. Imagine Vitalik saying "Ok, since coinbase is being evil, let's all move to a new Ethereum-without-cb that is a copy of Ethereum but their ETH is removed. To do so download the following software that follows a new Ethereum-without-cb chain instead of the Ethereum chain. And if enough people agree, we'll probably just call that just Ethereum (like the original Ethereum is now called Ethereum classic, and the current Ethereum is actually forked).

I think if I were VPNing from a campus or an office, things would be different. Hotels, coffee shops, and corporate guest networks all seem to either like 10/8 or 192.168/16.

By the way, I use 172.30/16 for my home net. I have personally seen use of 172.16/16 and 172.31/16 before.
There's a chicken and egg problem.

Workers don't want to move to sparsely populated areas because there aren't many jobs, and companies don't want to do it because there aren't any workers.

E.g. I wouldn't mind working in a sparsely populated area, but there's a good chance my employer would be the only one I could work for (without giving up and working retail or something). My employer doesn't want to relocate there because good luck convincing people to relocate there given the above.

There are infrastructure problems, too. Good luck getting a business class 40Gbps Internet connection in Nowhere, Wyoming.

It would go a long way if remote work was normalized (or legislated), and the FCC actually forced ISPs to run reasonable Internet connections outside of major metropolitan areas.

I took a pic of the moon in 2018 and noticed the colors when playing around in Lightroom. At first I thought it was artifacts from my camera but after some research realized it was due to real Iron and Titanium oxides:

Mere hints aren't enough for collect()

It will only care about your hints if you implement the unsafe trait TrustedLen (which promises those hints are correct)

Take is indeed TrustedLen if the Iterator it's taking from is TrustedLen (as in this case it can be sure of the size hint)

If you get to ~100 via some means other than take()ing 100 of them, chances are you don't have TrustedLen as a result.
Human makes a lot of inconsistent thing: We usually think the 1st floor, and the basement as 1st underground floor ( -1), but the floor jumps from 1 to -1!

Also, the time jump from 11AM to 12PM to 1PM!
So I think more human friendly sometimes means more confusing.
The argument that "BCPL doesn't have pointers, so it's not about pointers" fails immediately because every language has pointers, but some of them don't expose them to the developer.

I've spent so long working with both 0-indexed and 1-indexed (I work with Lua a LOT at work) that it makes almost no difference to me, and I can switch between the two with usually no hiccups.

Either one is something you get used to with practice. I do prefer 0-based, but 1-based isn't as big of a deal as many people treat it in the vast majority of situations, and almost every situation where you'd be using something like Lua in the first place.
> A car with modified controls is an option; but, those costs add to the cost of a vehicle.

How is that any different than today?

> And if you can't walk or bike? There are people who don't have that option; but, they can operate a motor vehicle -- do they just stay home?

Sorry you lost a leg, but I think you could understand that I would maintain what I'm advocating for which would be that you using a motor vehicle for legitimate needs doesn't mean everyone should have to use one for their day-to-day needs.

While I don't have any sort of clear statistics here, if you can't walk or bike I'd imagine many also can't or shouldn't be driving. There are solutions here, including mobility services. Leaping toward "well I have a physical condition that mostly requires me to use a car therefore everyone should have to use a car for their needs as well" doesn't seem like a good solution to me.

To add, I think as we're talking about people for whom walking and biking is difficult we also forget people for whom driving is difficult or unrealistic. The elderly in particular, those with other medical conditions, etc. You might say, yes we should solve that problem too. And I agree, but what I'd say is that society right now is 100% car-first everything and does not even attempt to address the concerns of these people either. Should they just stay home too?

On a lighter note, I've heard many people who have experienced the loss of a limb do well on bikes. I hope that's something you could try and find enjoyment out of if you so choose. Best of luck there. Sincerely.
It's not ideology. There are pros and cons to both proof and stake and proof of work.

The idea behind PoW was to decentralize proofs by allowing anyone to participate. This is a valuable property in a cryptocurrency. Bitcoin's implementation utterly failed in that regard. There are better projects out there, like Monero, but Bitcoin just refuses to die.

Precisely. Also, it wasn't one of those cases where management decides to move people off of the language they know to one they read about in InfoWorld or CIO Magazine. Or worse, had a golf buddy tell him how great it is.

Edification isn’t required to make progress, in fact you’ll probably find a lot of self-educated people working on some of the world’s hardest problems, on this forum.

Regardless, higher education isn’t the only form of education. In fact trade careers and certifications give people more economic mobility than anything you could go to college for. And those people might feel a bit stiffed that someone with a liberal arts degree is getting debt relief on their backs, while the money they sunk into an expensive technical education doesn’t qualify.

Pascal is a variant of ALGOL-60, made in part because Wirth thought ALGOL-68 was way too complicated. BASIC instead comes from the FORTRAN line.
Regulating nuclear makes it even worse economically.

Today's state of their fleet shows: they missed the train on renewables. Would they have them, they wouldn't have to buy so much dirty power from abroad. Also: others wouldn't have to produce so much dirt because those dirty reactors can be shut down fast.

I mean seriously...they have so much nuclear because they needed the technology for military use. They never did it for the environment or something. It's also not like this is some green energy source. Their failure to diversify costs the rest of Europe money today and will cost it for months. There is absolutely nothing to cherish there. It's not an example for anyone since money is better invested in renewables today already. So what's the point?

The price advantage was always going to be temporary. People have clearly demonstrated that they are willing to pay however much for access to content. Furthermore, the content producers have gotten used to a certain amount of funding, and are unlikely to give it up willingly. The biggest difference is that today people can pirate content that they can't otherwise find conveniently. But people are likely willing to pay even a very high fee to stream content conveniently, and if streaming services play there cards right, I suspect they will manage to raise fees substantially.
>> Metadata is data. There is no "just" metadata.

That is a cop out. If you listen to a call or read an email, you have context for innocence/guilt and punishment (however extra-judicial that might be.)

If you have "just" metadata, you just know two people spoke. Perhaps to order a pizza. Perhaps to arrange for a babysitter. No one knows. Killing based on that seems insane to me.
So you really think HBO is not going to offer an ad free version even though they have had an ad free offering since 1980?
But I think that still leaves open the question of "offset from what?"

If you move zero from the first element, you're still at the first element... but if you move zero from the fourth element you're still at the fourth element. If you move one from before the first element, you're at the first element.

I think you're more or less right, but I think we still need something to motivate the first element as the point of reference, and the machine focus is one way to do that.
> (It's pretty easy to reveal this to yourself: just try to change one major habit. Or try to think of a single thought (like a red triangle or pink elephant) for more than a few moments.)

I don't have the ability to visualize at all (I have aphantasia), so I can't comment about visualizing triangles. I have and do change habits in small ways almost daily, and have made some big changes when necessary.

I think there is a misconception that free will involves immediate results with one simple thought that's more akin to magic than anything else. "I now no longer crave ice cream!", "Poof!", done. I think my aphantasia has helped me realize how much of our brains are not directly controllable. When a lot of people work through a problem consciously, I'm usually starting to do that then "fading away", coming back only later with or without a solution (sort of like highway hypnosis). Maybe everyone does this, but I don't hear it talked about that often, and people around me have found it strange when I do this around them. Must not be completely uncommon I guess because the phrase "lost in thought" is pretty common.

I think of our brains as housing more than just the conscious "me", it also involves other portions of the brain that aren't directly accessible. Thus we try to affect other areas of the brain in different ways. Sometimes a simple command works, other times we have to trick or cajole or excite another portion of us to do it for us, sometimes many many times (such as when instilling a new habit or changing an old one). If this cajoling, intimidating, engaging, or influencing isn't exerting free will, I don't know what is.

...unless the other parts of our brains are showing us unreliable information in order to get us to make the changes they want us to make, which I hope isn't true. But that's a fight for control which would imply free will anyway, I guess.

I agree with most of this, but I would argue that the 2->3 transition was on balance a mistake. Python 3 is better, but not better enough to justify the huge amount of time and resources that otherwise could have been spent on better performance, typing, packaging, tools, etc. I'd gladly trade the Python 3 improvements for Python 2 equivalents of TypeScript and V8.
It's simple, in commerce terms it directly implies lower future consumption, lower future labour supply and consequently lower value to investors. Losing economic strength will be a very large concern for any country.

> So, the government got involved in student loans, encouraged people who should have entered trades to get irrelevant degrees, significantly inflated the cost of tuition, and is now not only rewarding poor decisions and debt, but is making others pay for it?

If 10,000 people pay $1 each, none of them have any problems. If one person pays $10,000, it's a big problem, and possibly even life-ruining or inaccessible. "Making others pay for it" is a skewed perspective on what's really happening when taxes pay for public services, or services that should be public.

Speaking of "should be public" -- who are you to decide whether other people "should have entered trades" instead of attending university? Many people don't attend higher education because they can't afford it, and you're basically saying that means they just should go straight to work and shouldn't even try to get an education?

> And who making $125K needs a $10K discount on their loans!? A friend intentionally stopped paying his a while back in anticipation. What a joke.

If your friend was affording his payments, then it sounds like your friend is a selfish dick.

To answer your question: many people. I'm not at $125k, but I left college with $60k in debt, and I didn't even attend the top tier of costly schools, and I had grants to lower that amount. I'm making $80k now, and if you compare those numbers, it might seem like that's no big deal -- 80 > 60 after all, right? But then you subtract income taxes, and my disposable income is actually closer to $52k. Then you subtract my expenses which are more important than paying off student loan debt -- food, water, electricity, phone bill, mortgage, and internet (which I need for my job at least) -- and account for interest accrual... I'm 7 years out of college and I'll be paying those loans for at least another decade or two.

So the answer is "probably quite a few people", especially when you consider the correlation between better university education (i.e. more expensive) and higher-paying jobs.
I've looked into this a while ago and my conclusion was that a good u-lock (Abus, Kryptonite) should be very hard to pick to someone who isn't the lockpicking lawyer , is hard to brute force and is portable. A thick chain might be better but is too heavy to take on a bicycle. Anything else is too easily bruteforced. Always lock your bike to something or they can just walk away with it. If you're really paranoid you can take two u-locks from different brands and leave a chain at your work and home. At that point the weak link will probably be the thing you're locking your bike to.

Na. Bitcoin and Ethereum make up 60% of the total cryptocurrency "market cap" and a good chunk of the remainder are USD stablecoins that run on top of a base chain with no mining itself.

The next most valuable proof of work coin at <1% of the total market value is dogecoin, and that's already long been using ASIC miners like bitcoin.

Unless Ethereum miners forcibly maintain a PoW fork or try to pump up Ethereum Classic back into the spotlight, GPU mining might finally be effectively dead.

As many people have said for years, there's only room on this planet for one proof of work chain, and it's bitcoin. All other use cases with be proof of stake, or sidechains and layer twos of some base chain.

Choice doesn't mean controlling the other guy. At some point in the chain trust appears and canaries can be used to see if it has been violated, if you really care that much.

Some people have a non-commercial precommitment to privacy and finding the companies that honor it and relate to it is the choice we want.

If you want to force the discussion about privacy into regulation and non-market forces, then okay? Why would people legally and politically consent to a fully transparent world? The regulation will only end up going one way in the end and for all the split hairs along the way, it won't be in favour of ending privacy...

I worry about distribution as the answer due to the vulnerability of our existing power distribution infrastructure. Do we have answers for that yet? We need them in any case I suppose unless you build out local storage to such an extent that you don't need any grid at all even in the coldest winter or hottest summer.

The potential injuries from drunk biking is in a whole other league the the injuries from drunk driving. Most bike injuries can be patched up at you local clinic (or even your home; unless your injury involves a car; so safe bike infrastructure is essential in making drunk biking safe), whereas drunk driving can cause some pretty horrendous injuries, to you, or your victims. The two modes should not be compared.
