You mean the basket where my bag is in? Or the groceries? Or do you want put it where my kids' seats are? In any case, it's annoying and unnecessary, I hope this never changes, wearing a helmet will fundamentally downgrade the relaxed, casual biking experience that is so normal here.

Yeah I saw it in skying, one year nobody wore a helmet then suddenly I felt very self-conscious about it. Same thing for MTBing. Skying, Snowboarding and MTBing are much more dangerous though and I happily wear a helmet going down slope over 25 km/hour. Biking 10 km/hour, essentially running speed... No. Bikes look like this here [0] and they are everywhere, don't forget, it's very different from this: [1]

How Faithful Is Amazon’s Rings of Power to JRR Tolkien’s Books?
while true, its still cheaper and greener (at least in europe) to go rent a vm somewhere instead of hosting it yourself. not to speak about availability or failover. Or the risk of allowing foreign traffic on your network. Or bandwith caps. Or a whole lot of other downsides no?

I mean sure, not everybody needs and AKS supercluster, but so far im still seeing the advantage of self hosting besides the point that "my users made those requests to the illicit servers your honor" which at least in phase two means strict logging for you.

I did the math recently and abandoned the "bare metal k8s at home" theorem simply because the energy cost at 30 Eurocents and hour are already more that the vm im renting with limitless traffic.

Im also not a tor end node, because, at least in europe, you are responsible for the traffic that leaves your home connection too.
SMS integration is a lost opportunity in so many ways.

I wanted a no-code solution to push my bank-sent SMSs into a real-time transaction database. Apparently this is impossible on iOS, and on Android it's incredibly unreliable (IFTTT & Tasker keep getting shut down by the OS). Fortunately, before writing my own solution, I found messages.google.com/web. I have to scrape this, but that's simpler than maintaining an Android app.

Somehow, it's 2022 and if I want real-time banking information I have to write code to consume SMSs OR hand my banking credentials over to a third party to scrape my bank statements.
They will still be living their own lives most of the time, even more so during that time than they were teenagers.
Problem is Signal people had really odd visions how to make basic functionality work. This isn't really because SMS/MMS are bad(yes they are).

But there are threads in their issue tracker where Signal people would disagree with basically functionality of responding to text messages on dual sim devices. "We'll always use the Signal registered number as default".

One part of this is a terrible(but working) protocol, the other is really weird product management where basic needs of the consumer are brushed aside with a "I know best approach" that doesn't really work when you're not in the shoes of apple and have the ability to just replace SMS altogether.

The magic phrase is "I'll have to leave early to pick up the kids, you take care of this".
This seems awfully America-centric. I understand what you're saying but in my experience it is a local phenomena, not global. Most parents (or at least a parent) spend a lot of time with their kids at the start of their life.
Mobile typing experience IS terrible for anything other than routine work IMO.
The fact that your keyboard takes up half of your already small screen space and that you'll have to look at your keyboard to type is a massive inhibitant for productivity.
Not to mention the constant autocorrecting if you are doing any industry-specific work.
And for real, who cares about a green bubble? Seems to be the epitome of pettiness

If you need to actually send files etc use another one of a multitude of messaging apps out there including the latest Google TalkMsgChatThing (but it works)
An easy fix for that would be to allow a second finger to drag the text field - hold space to activate the cursor, drag the text with a second, bingo. Or let the second finger hit "jump left, jump right" targets on the blank keyboard when you're holding space (but this is more mechanically difficult at least for me.)
You don't understand, the hardware we got 2017-2019 is peak forever.

I has, but the issue is that the layout if the common keys (like letters a to z) is ever so slightly different that it wrecks my typing when I switch.
As a Dutch person, I'm still amazed that the US still seems to use SMS as much; mind you, our phone plans here were "you get 1000 text messages and X minutes or a bajillion megabytes of data"; that + 'free' international messaging / calls with services like Whatsapp quickly pushed people to data-only messaging like Whatsapp or maybe FB Messenger. We also have a big immigrant population that like to chat with their family wherever they may live, and international calls / text messages are stupid expensive.

I can imagine that's less of an issue in the US; do you pay extra for text messages and calls that go across state lines?
To be fair, this doesn’t consider the fuel costs of the extra 46 kg or so of baggage allowance that passengers have, the additional check-in desks that need to be “kiosked” and/or staffed, etc.

I’m sure it still works out for them, but it’s far from obvious and probably depends on many passengers not maximizing their allowance.
I've just had this bug where my volume for typing tones goes WAY UP HIGH for a couple seconds before normalizing to where it should be; it happens surprisingly often, as well as general lag.
If you have several languages configured, there's a globe icon that lets you switch between keyboards. It's still a step down from Android that seems to just detect the language even if you switch mid-sentence.
Only if the image is small(within the viewspan). If the image was huge, the brain needs to hold context while you finish seeing it, similar to how brain needs to hold context while you finish reading the comprehension to derive meaning. (This is called sphota theory of grammer as given by ancient sanskrit scholar Bhartihari). Reading is zoomed out seeing. (Edit: Abhinavagupt further showed that sound naturally works on this principle, where the meaning of a word is concluded as the sounds finish hitting the eardrums.)
This is genuine; the PR messages are for businesses and shareholders; especially for publically traded companies, they have to be Very Careful with what they say in public.
I think that becoming a parent fundamentally changes who you are. It's
the antidote to all the worries and anxiety you had about success and
coping before, but now don't have time to indulge in.

Paradoxically, that releases the door to new kinds of success you
couldn't imagine before.

The parent who can let go of their old self gracefully, and drop many
ambitions (which in retrospect seem childish) is able to transform.

Those who cling to the desire to remain "able to stay up all night
playing with new technologies" will surely find regret and fail to
take advantage of the enormous perspective change that parenthood
bestows.
I make so many typos lately that when I read back what I’ve just typed it is often gibberish. I’ve seriously wondered whether I’ve suffered from serious cognitive decline (iPhone 11 pro max)
Of course (odds are there'd have to be). The question how does Malwarebytes Premium know it contains a Trojan? Does some seemingly intelligent code say 'lots of strange files thus likely a Trojan here' or does it actually analyze the files (given the quantity of files that seems unrealistic, alternatively, it's previously spotted a Trojan in one of the links and remembered it—this is probably the likely bet).
So many words to say you are lonely. You are lonely and that is perfectly understandable. For most of my corporate employment experience even being at the office felt distant lonely. So for me it isn’t so much the distance between employees but the culture imposed by leadership. I actually feel less lonely at home where my cats and dogs are in constant need of affection.
Depends a bit what you do. I work with firmware that uses all kinds of architectures. Paying an extra $2k per architecture I want the decompiler for is simply too much.

Yes, the license cost is likely marginal if you only disassemble Windows malware on Windows.
Agreed. I remember when - years ago - they unilaterally switched all Android devices to use the Apple emoji. No consultation, no investigation with users, no reason other than they wanted consistency across their apps.

Took a lot of grumpy users before they backtracked.

I use and like Signal. I'm not smart enough to disagree with some of their technical decisions, but I wish they could have found a way to make SMS/RCS work.
I think you're forgetting the main reason: the group of people using it to communicate is really small and shrinking every year.

The only large group of people who still primarily use SMS to communicate person-to-person is Android users in the USA.

Every other country has settled on either Telegram, WeChat, WhatsApp or FB Messenger, or other niche apps. These apps work on both iOS and Android and often also Windows. I haven't sent an SMS in probably 12 years. I don't know anyone who has.

It's only in the US that iMessage is so prevalent that Android users have to use SMS, the only other way of messaging iOS devices. And the US is quickly becoming a de-facto iOS only country. It already has more than 50% market share, even 80% among young people.

With the US going (almost) full iMessage and the rest of the world having already settled on another app there simply no point to supporting SMS.
Ask HN: How to deal with regret of not having kids
"75% of the time we spend with our kids in our lifetime will be spent by age 12"

I was one of those ppl that made the decision of not having kids. I am a 40 yr old man now. This was the single worst decision I've ever made in my whole life. My spouse is 39 so the window has closed for biological children, more or less.

My life is now dominated by regret every day. I just can't get over that feeling. I've tried many things like therapy, counseling ect. It only helps for a little bit but I am still doing therapy. Some nights I wake up with panic and stay up all night with shallow breathing and high heart rate.

I used to LOVE working and all things tech, now just make do and do bare minimum to not get fired. I 've gotten few promotions here and there but nowhere near my potential of where my career could've been. Everything is just secondary, nothing is interesting.

I am constantly triggered by families and young kids. Even reading that post sent my heart rate soaring (apple watch) with anxiety . I just don't know what to do, its too unbearable. I fantasize about things like getting cancer and that seems to calm me down a little bit. Sometimes I fantasize about leaving my spouse, who I love to death, find someone who I can have a child with.

I googled the original quotes because I didn't know what it means.

Here are the full quotes:

“People think focus means saying yes to the thing you've got to focus on. But that's not what it means at all. It means saying no to the hundred other good ideas that there are. You have to pick carefully. I'm actually as proud of the things we haven't done as the things I have done. Innovation is saying no to 1,000 things.”

With Signal moving away from SMS, the required messaging app stack on my phone just to be able to receive everything sent do me will have to be:

- Signal -> Close friends & family I've convinced to use it.

- WhatsApp -> Most of my friends.

- SMS -> School notifications, 2FA, shipping updates, etc.

- Facebook Messenger -> Elderly relatives

- Telegram -> That one relative who wants to use this instead of Signal.

Is there a consolidated messaging app that the HN community recommends?

I can't be the only one suffering from messenger bloat.
How is it unsubstantiated if the tweet cites its sources? The Brandbrief can also easily be googled.

The traditional reporting sucks. This year there was a strike in hospitals in NRW and the traditional media mostly reported about it after it finished after 77 days.

I agree, a tweet on its own doesn't prove much. But I've been following some accounts that work in hospitals for a while now and I noticed a change in tone.

I would be extra careful right now not to get yourself into an emergency situation. The problem is you only notice how bad the situation is if you work there or you need some services.
Nice. Maybe I can finally get my hands on some under-utilised compute resources.
It’s certainly hard, but regret? Never
I feel that while I can subsist on not-a-lot-of-sleep, I also definitely become a bit of an idiot if I do. I make dumb mistakes, I struggle to make connections, I make poor choices, and overall kinda feel like shit.
It's fallacious to think that you won't have time to cater to your hobbies, as I have seen with others in my life. Perhaps the early years are hard, but of course you will have time sooner or later.

At the same time, this is one reason why I don't desire to have children of my own. I like having so much spontaneous freedom. The risk of having an unhealthy child is also non-zero, and well, once they come out, you can't exactly ctrl-z them.
I'm interested to understand why you find this provocative.

My ambition is to build a dependable service that will be up for several years to come. For that to happen, I need to limit myself to a scope I am comfortable maintaining in the long run, instead of burning out under scope creep.

Until the maintainer team grows, I would be on the hook for updates and fixes, and I refuse to create an account on any of that company's sites.
I have not yet watched the full video but it looks similar to the talk I heard Michael Levin give (titled "Robot Cancer") at ALIFE 2020, and it was fascinating. I posted some hastily taken notes on my blog at the time[0] and still think about this talk often.

The examples shown of manipulation of the regeneration of worms were especially interesting. He showed how it was possible to have a planarian of one species grow the head of a planarian of another species without touching DNA at all. He posited that DNA is the "hardware", but that anatomy itself is controlled by modular software that we can take advantage of manipulating in an easier way than trying to pick apart and modify the hardware (DNA).

> Taking on what amounts to a lifetime commitment and a massive investment of time and money for an experience that I have zero interest in and think I would actively dislike, seems like a terrible use of my finite resources.

This is a naive way to think about it. In the grand scheme of things, as TFA hints at, kids don't take up a significant portion of your life. If you're goal is to focus on striking off entries on a wishlist, there are many, many things that can be sacrificed to make room that don't involve children.

It's not as bad as you make it seem.

Lastly, I don't really care about experiences the way I did when I was younger. Going on a trip to an exotic locale doesn't really excite me as much as, say, taking a good picture of a friend or family member and sharing it. Or hearing a good story or joke.

Kids expand to fill the space in your life you make for them. I have more fun with my kids than possibly anyone else. I want to share experiences with them, not for myself.

Have you ever been excited when telling a friend about a cool spot they've never been to, and subsequently taking them there? Kids are like a revolving door of those opportunities. They start from scratch.
The three worst things about the Android experience are Samsung, Android, and Google.

I'm far from an Apple fan. But my alignment's gone anti-Google on virtually all points.

As for Samsung: repeated bad experiences from electronics to home appliances. They're on my never buy ever list.

I want a dumb phone and a smarter e-ink tablet than I've got (Onyx BOOX, Android-based, though e-ink and partial independence from Google help). Unlike Samsung, which never issued an update for my bought-brand-new tablet, Onyx have offered three or four system updates within about a year and a half, as well as responsive tech support.

Other than that, Linux desktop and laptop.

SMS is still rather common here in Europe.
Even if a ton of people use whatsapp and such SMS is often a safe option to initiate with or something trough which you get certain kinds of automated messages like appointment reminders or verification codes.
I think this is basically this excellent explanation: https://community.signalusers.org/t/signal-blog-removing-sms...

And their president also commented on it a bit at https://www.theverge.com/23409716/signal-encryption-messagin...

Gold standard for buying samsung phones is wait for few months. Samsung usually drop prices and even bundles with a watch or earphones.
The solution for this is simple; have kids if you want to. There are woman of the same feeling, so you can have a baby in 1 year or like including preps, pregnancy and birth. If you feel like it is too late, 40 yo is never too old for having kids.

Alternatively, you can consider adopting a kid which will give you the exact same dad feelings.

Nothing to regret yet, just do it!
Don't forget, for many loving parents, the smile and hugs from your kids give you lots of more energy for life
> The fact ... that you'll have to look at your keyboard to type is a massive inhibitant for productivity.

I don't look at the keyboard when I type on my phone... why would you do that?! That's like assuming you have to look at the keyboard on your laptop... sure, you can, but it is much better to just practice for a bit and then stop.
I was kind of expecting this argument. And honestly, I don't think this is it. I see friends almost every day after work and most days during lunch.

My main point was that work used to be much more than 8 hours of screen time for me before. And since it's a third of my waking time, I feel I lost something significant.
> Just choose the one with the best layout or usability

This was Signal for me. I understand the reasons to get rid of SMS support but I strongly disagree. Unfortunately I don't have enough people in my life on Signal to justify keeping it around as yet another messaging app.
You're 40. Times have changed. Most people used to get children in their 20s, nowadays it's probably more 30s. If you really want to have a child, nothing stops you from having one (or two) now.
To use Starlink you need to have a line-of-sight to the satellites, and that basically requires you'll get to install the ceiling of the whole building and even that might not be enough, right?

To do that you probably need to get the whole building (or the building manager) to go along with this.

So if you have 1/3000 of people wanting this in the city, those same people also need to be in a matching situation to have the possibility to use Starlink, which can significantly reduce the ratio.

It's still possible, but the initiative will need to come from Starlink, possibly involving plans for complete buildings.

edit: I was of course thinking city centers, but in the nearby regions the demand might be significantly higher, access to roof is easy, population density is OK, and fiber internet still not well available.

They contacted and worked with a handful of doctors/surgeons specializing in amputations, which examined the bones and explained how an amputation that resulted in the damage observed could have happened, and could not have happened - and they all independetly agreed that this had to be deliberate.

At least that's the short summary I remember from one of the scientist on the bbc science podcast.
I think the key insight here is that corrections you can trust are great - you can just let the autocorrect do its thing & stay in flow state. Corrections that you have to check every time because they’re not reliable enough are worse than useless because they force you to check every single correction, completely breaking flow.
After 10 years of typing perfectly on various iPhones, I suddenly started mistyping frequently a year or so(?) ago. I feel like its actually the phone and not me that has changed. Are there any Apple people here who can give a definitive answer?
