So, what are your reasons to have kids, oh supreme reproduction guru?
I wonder if this also means future astronauts will have wifi when launching to moon/mars. Imagine watching watching a movie while taking off to somewhere distant
And yet, they added crypto, stories, reactions, animated stickers and all that stuff while refusing to allow people to keep their loved-ones messages when their phone falls in to a toilet.

I don't think the reasoning for their implementation is as well thought out as you claim here.
On my Android phone, words got auto-replaced with the predicted word when I hit space. It was equally maddening. Suggesting words is fine, changing what I've already typed is not.

<<And finally, I feel no one else is realizing that they are happily hacking away at the amazingly well-paid branch they're sitting on.

Kinda? I think it is the nature of the beast. I don't want to deal with mind-numbing, soul crushing data entry silliness. I want to be challenged if only to see if I am good enough to be there. I recently started a new position and as the lowest guy on the totem pole was given the most manual task they had. I just proposed automating it and, uhh, lets say it didn't go as well as I had hoped.

Send it remote ( even though I will admit, I am mildly concerned about my "price" dropping as a result ). Frankly, it would make more sense financially. I genuinely don't understand why it makes fiscal sense for me to do data entry than just about anything else. I can. And I do what is asked of me, but it can be done better.. and this is where a person like me should fit.

My only way to defend this practice is that the manual process is a weird hazing process and they ( team or manager ) want to keep it there for that purpose.

Sorry for the rambling. I think it is coffee time.

edit:

<<I used to love going to the office.

I begrudgingly obliged for a long time knowing that I currently have no leverage to say 'give me remote or I am walking'. I personally envy people, who love socializing and office life. I do like my team. Frankly, I have more in common with every single one of them than any of my previous teams, but that social circle is just not a priority for me and there are no appropriate words in the English vocabulary to describe the pure, unadulterated anger towards anyone having any kinda hand in making me get up early to commute. Younger me would have chided myself saying that I need to play the corporate game, but something changed in me after kids. And the weirdest thing is that when I tell people for any other reason than remote "no, cuz kids", no one questions that.

I hate the office. I understand it serves a purpose. But that purpose no longer serves me.

And this is why we are at a crossroads. Management can bitch and moan, but that is the new reality ( ours made a show of the recent marketwatch article ). Some of us just said "fuck it".
I'm glad for the epilogue at the end. I was thinking the whole time that those hard and complex ideas weren't distractions. They were the proven business models that the startup should have been pivoting to focus on.

South Florida here, I've had FTTH for 2 years now and gigabit cable has been an option for longer than that.
T-Mobile has been offering free Netflix for over three years. They don’t even market it these days.

As for the reduction in mobile game usage, perhaps consumers are finally growing weary of the abomination that has become mobile gaming? Predatory, ad-filled, and micro transaction riddled treadmills. Having fun is an entirely secondary goal from evacuating funds from wallets.
It happened to me too. If you like the company, maybe ask their reasons and follow through if they make sense.
I felt exactly like this in my last remote working job. I was in my 20's and after 5 years of remote working I felt cut off from trends in the industry and had no one to casually talk to and build friendships with (especially when you've moved to the city for work and aren't a native to the area).

Now I'm in my 30's remote working is more of advantageous for my lifestyle (but not my waistline). I do miss the community aspect of the office.

Ask HN: Confluence Alternative(s) Supporting Markdown?
A SaaS is fine if they integrate with Okta SSO, otherwise something open source that we can self host would be the backup. But this is definitely a `Build < Buy` situation I'm in.

Luckily outside of engineering they don't use our confluence. So the target audience is technical.

Any advice here or questions are welcomed. Thank you.
Just imagine having to ask some guy in accounting to spin up a VM.
Yea if you have to commute it's a different story. I'm talking with the experience of mostly WFH beacuse of Covid.
Err, not? Making a generic story using Tolkien’s names without meaning. Which seems odd in that it alienates a vocal, internet-heavy fan base without gaining a wider audience. Better to use something new or without the fanboy base. Speaking as a fanboy, willfully distorting the subject matter is a no-go.
The vast, vast majority of companies in the world would not pay massively over market rates to their staff.

To minimise costs and maximise profits (without exploiting anyone of course) is the raison d'etre for a business, and is in no way unethrical.
So what if we do? I am strongly in favor of thorough and regular contemplation of ones life, but it leads to really weird things, if it's led by our lackluster comprehension of time and numbers. A number is not bad, just because it clashes with our intuition. Just because something feels bad when it is presented in a certain way, does not mean it is bad.

For example, learning that x tons of food are wasted in any given context provides me with 0 useable information in relation to my life. What would be the alternative? I have assume nobody is wasting food to waste food if they could do the same thing without wasting food. It's a byproduct of trying to optimize a processes. What are these processes, what are they being optimized for? What can be done to improve them and what would it cost?

If I feel something is a shockingly big or small number – and that's what these kinds of number games always seem to aim at, for whatever reason –, I am usually just being set up to be confused and unhappy about how reality outside of my own speck of experience works.
Yep. My feeling is that this story involves Elon Musk losing his completely conventional fleet of aircraft and slightly quirky service to creditors and wishing that he'd set up a space company or a 140 characters company instead...

I think it'll get clearer when you realise that SMS (and MMS) is also nothing more than a "data connection" message that carriers chose to classify as zero-cost and available during roaming via different pricing.

RCS - and VoLTE for example - is in this way no different. It's just a data message that gets sent to a configured endpoint (either on Google or your carriers' servers, depending on your carrier preference).

Of course, the carriers still remain the dumbass link in this chain as usual. I've just had to deal with a carrier that charges VoLTE call configuration setup connection as normal foreign data roaming with minimum pricing. The phone ate through 30EUR of costs despite having mobile data disabled.
Even Google does this of course :-).
They can afford it.
I miss 3D Touch so much, if only because of its awesome cursor placement trick — instead of the spacebar, you could hold a finger anywhere on the keyboard and take the cursor to the right spot, plus increase the strength to select words.
> All I got was a free cappuccino with one of them. Waste of time.

This sounds like part of the problem. Lucky people tend to think they are lucky. Because when an opportunity arrives, they assume it's lucky and look for the reason why.

If you assume you have bad luck, you could, for example, get invited to an exclusive 1:1 meeting with a high powered VC investor, who has a ton of wisdom, many connections, and access to resources, and somehow think it was a waste of time.

Impressive job.
It seems to me that you indeed realised that majority of the people (in your bubble) have an opposite opinion on this issue than you have, but somehow you still think that they are wrong, and you listed why they are wrong (except the few that you can sympathise with, like parents, caregivers and so on)

Don't get me wrong, I enjoy office work as well, but I realise that I'm not the youngest anymore and the world is changing, and it's not driven by my generation any more. It sucks to be a minority.
Business model: for $5/month, let users remove social media results from the feed ;).
It's lightness and weight, as in Kundera's 'Unbearable Lightness of Being'.

Lightness is nice, it's comfortable, but vertigo inducing. So we also long for weight sometimes.
It's very simple: you can still participate in the local startup scene, it has nothing to do with work. At work I work. When I want to talk about tech stuff, I got to tech meetups.
Exactly. I also think it's thinking about how much extra worth those time spend really benefits your life, compared to how much it creates noise in your brain.
Wow. This puppy took a real nosedive. Down to 160, in about 10 hours.

It's as if someone posted a political or sexist rant.

The comments seem to actually be fairly reasonable, and polite. The post, itself, was fairly decent. Got lots of upvotes.

It's as if the thought of people working on tech, just for fun, instead of driving shareholder value, is heresy, around here.
I don't depend on work for my social life and never really did. If I want to hang out with people I do so with my close non-work friends, or go to an event or something else. I enjoy the people I work with but I don't aim for them to be my close friends.

Worse is its insistence on continuing to autocorrect words I’ve just gone back to fix.

If I type some letters, it autocorrects, I explicitly backspace to delete the autocorrection, and then type the exact same thing again, for the love of god stop “helpfully” correcting it for me again to the exact same thing I just undid.

This seems like such low-hanging fruit it's baffling that it's still an issue and I say this as a full-blown Apple apologist.

Also, in Germany you have a lot of holiday (20 minimum, most companies pffer 30), 3 month notice period, 3 years parental leave (per child), pricing these in, I would always expect lower salary in Germany.
The more I use Matrix and Element, the more convinced that its the way to go. The ability to see lf-host, e2e encryption, optional federation... And if you use Element you get threads, audio/video calls, etc. Apart from name recognition, what does Matrix not have that all of these other apps have?
Cows, pigs, sheep, rabbits, etc. all are pleasant to look at while alive. Can't say the same for jellyfish.
I understand that getting copyright away from the current forever will be difficult, but it would be a shame if we ended up with a complicated system like that where you needed lawyers to argue that something was abandoned. The nice thing about a fixed cutoff from creation, even if it is quite long, is that it is fairly easy to know what is no longer protected because you just need to track how long it has existed.
* this is excellent!

You absolutely can use Dublin as an example, because the vast majority of software development jobs are not "finishing work" for engineering performed elsewhere. That's a myopic and absurd claim. Dublin is in itself an engineering hub.

Ireland is certainly a low-tax haven for companies operating in the EU, but that isn't the sole reason there are 50,000 developer roles in the city. Your sources do not support your claim.
I can't help but feel these takes come from a lack of empathy; I'm the exact opposite, but I fully accept people have your view. What strikes me as odd is the incapability for the pro-in-office crew to see that they're seeking participation for what they want, for what I now see as a considerable personal cost (commute time, comfort, simply not seeing the work place as a social venture), the participation from the WFH clan is much lesser (putting up with video meetings etc.).

My social life exists outside of work, and I see "work" as an exchange of money for my time and expertise.

It's very rare that a serious problem can be solved without some objects having some sort of a dynamic lifetime that you have to manage.

Rust just prevents you from doing this. So you can say it provides safety, but it also restricts you from solving the vast majority of serious problems that we write programs to solve.

This is very different from static vs dynamic typing.

In a statically typed language, the compiler actually _knows_ what you can and can't do with each object.

Where as Rust's life time management just says "Nope, I have no idea whether what you are doing is safe or not so I'm just going to tell you you can't do it".
I thought I had added "I know", but apparently I missed that, apologies. Fixed now. The 2nd sentence had the relevant "I encountered" part, not the first.
You need to give the actual numbers, otherwise I don't believe it.

The cost is not close when you consider US tech employees who earn almost double what EU and UK employees earn. Corporate taxes in the UK have traditionally been lower than the US and UK companies don't pay for medical insurance. It's simpler and cheaper to launch a startup in the UK compared to the US.

I doubt the situation is much different between US and German or German and Irish companies. It's rare in my experience that companies can explain away salary differences by showing cost differences. Which should shock no one. Most companies seek to minimize labor costs and at best pay close to local market rates. Or even hire in foreign markets to reduce labor costs. If instead they were seeking to share profits you might see the result you're describing.
> I used to love going to the office.

I hated going to office (and that's why I stopped doing it like 20 years ago).

But it's not a case of one of us being right and the other wrong, it's just that some people are more extrovert, and some are more introvert, and we simply don't enjoy the same things.

Now, being introvert doesn't mean I hate other people. I actually enjoy in daily interactions with my colleagues, and with many of them (current and ex) I'm a close friend, we (and our families) socialize outside the work regularly - but we don't need to be locked for 8h in the same building for that. Being able to do it on our own time and terms is actually much more rewarding for everyone.
Omg, you're behind ntfy.sh!

I just helped a friend connect his iPhone availability polling script to ntfy.sh so it could be run remotely and still notify him when the latest iPhone was available at a nearby Apple store. It worked wonderfully, and now my friend has a new iPhone!

Thanks for making and maintaining such an amazing tool!
One thing I haven't seen mentioned in the comments is that putting a phone case on the later generations of iPhones messes with the accuracy of the touch sensation of the screen. This inevitably leads to even more typo issues because you hit something "correctly" but the input is recognized incorrectly. Not sure if this impacts Android but definitely changed with iPhones

I want people to know that this is just 1 guy his opinion and not a fact. Most of his arguments are valid but can also be debunked. It always comes down to opinion, it's very difficult to calculate the effects of creating new people that live ~80 years while not knowing what is going to happen in the next 80 years.

Another opinion is that nothing matters, in the end, our sun will die and and all life will stop existing. So arguing about whether to have kids or not, is waste of time. Do as you like. But then again... What about the journey?

The discussion can go on and on, in the end, it comes down to opinion.
I agree this is infuriating. This was the reason that made me finally ditch autocorrection altogether on my iPhone. I still make mistakes but at least now they're mostly my own mistakes, and when I correct them they stay corrected.
Pushbullet?
I’ll say this every time this thread appears - if companies felt they could outsource/offshore their work they would have done it 10-20 years ago and you’d never have had this discussion. They tried. Some worked out, some didn’t and for the latter work came back.

It’s the herding cats problem re talent. What you can do with a “a few good people” can’t be done with a crowd. Read Brooks.

I often call vim the "photoshop of text". command mode has a rigidity like an image , but you can cut copy and paste parts of it.

AI text generations will be more like games than like photoshop. Photoshop is 2 step: do and undo, but editing text is more like a continuous stream of refinements.
For the record, anyone working in the HW sector will tell you, Chinese suppliers will often try to scam you by delivering you parts that are faulty or lower spec than originally agreed and see if you notice. If you don't notice, then it's fair game and more money for them. They don't consider this swap as doing anything illegal or wrong if you don't notice, so you really need to have solid QA in house to keep your suppliers accountable, as this is a constant struggle. It's sad, but this is how business is done in this racket. Russia is now stuck between a rock and a hard place, with very little choice of suppliers and Chinese businesses know it and are taking this practice to the next level (beggars can't be choosers).

I can't find the comment now, but one HN member told a story here on how their POS credit card readers they sent for production to China, were being tampered with by malicious employees on the supplier side who were shaving internal parts of the case assembly to plant skimmers inside that would beam the credit card data. They were going so far as to match the weight of the tampered device to meet the spec by the milligram to avoid weight detection countermeasures. Insane.
Taken as fan fiction I enjoyed most of the show. All the people surviving the Mt Doom explosion was the dumbest part to me.
I have two kids under two. It's tough, but i dont personally know any parents that don't have a ton of fun with their kids. I love spending time with my 2 year-old. We have tons of fun together (like many 2 year olds, outside activities are a must). I'd rather be with him than any of my friends or other family and wouldn't trade it for the world.
The best time for women to have children is (for most women) probably in their 20s. The best time to become a father is (for most men) probably in their 40s. This is an extremely unpopular opinion, although that doesn't make it incorrect. Instead we have millions choosing what amounts to genetic suicide. Of course this is also their prerogative.
If ntfy.sh is used (not your selfhosted server), then messages are also forwarded to FCM and APNS (unless the X-Firebase header is set to "no"). For selfhosted servers, Firebase/APNS are not used. Since Firebase is pretty slow in delivering messages instantly, the Android app also has an "instant delivery" option which keeps a JSON stream or WebSocket connection open at all times.

With Firebase, the reported battery consumption is 0% obviously. Without Firebase (i.e. with the instant delivery option) it varies depending on phone and usage. On my phone it is usually around 0-1%. Others that use it to deliver their Matrix chat messages have reported higher numbers up to 12% (though that is rare).

If you "allow background services" for the app, Android will kill it less often. Though some manufacturers are quite aggressive even with that option.

As for who pays the bills: The public server is run in EC2 ($25/month, though it could run on a much smaller instance), and the Apple developer license is $100/year. Other than that, there are no costs. Up until a month ago, i was carrying all the costs. I have recently started accepting donations, and now all the costs are carried by my awesome sponsors (see https://github.com/sponsors/binwiederhier)
