>Being such a small operation, I think they're making a great decision by focusing on what matters most.

Currently, it looks like they are focusing on social networking features: stories, emoji stuff, better link previews. Basically everything that competition already did. The roadmap is not public, so I wouldn't take guesses as what may come next. But...

..."dropping support of X as a feature" is some kind of new transcendent approach to product development incomprehensible to common earthlings.
My most prioritize still be the Automation workflow (Onboarding flow for new users). Any more recommendations guys?
Probably per person than per country.
"average person sends 51 sms a month" factoid is actually just statistical error...
It has channels, which are a great middle ground between Twitter and Substack.
sry, but the picture you're painting might be rational but I don't agree with it. Just because the divorce statistics might be bad doesn't mean you should breakup, just because he is unhappy now doesn't mean he will be unhappy in the future, same goes for the marriage, just because it's bad now doesn't mean it will be bad forever. Just because I want something doesn't mean I should go for it without looking left and right. You also lose something if you decide to change things. He could just adopt or maybe he would just like kids around him, so he could work in a soccer club, kindergarten or something else part time.
Much respect to you for adopting 4 kids, especially those with additional needs! :) To this "We have one child who is at high risk of never developing cognitively enough to safely live on their own as an adult.", I'd argue, society in general needs to look after people like this much better. Everyone, particularly the rich, should be paying their fare share of taxes to cover decent quality care for those unable to look after themselves due to disability. That includes respecting the people who work in that field properly as doing a vital job, and paying them well enough. When parents feel that this lifetime responsibility falls on them alone, I feel that something is severely broken. What about people with learning disability who do not have family to look out for them? They need a system to look after them. I think some of the comments on this discussion reflect that there's a lack of general support for families, especially in the USA with its insufficient social programmes.
But I have 40 contacts on WA, and 4 on Signal? Everyone on Signal is also on WA and SMS.
I miss the office. More work got done and less time was spent on stupid shit.

Sadly my company's office is being renovated, so I don't think I can go until next summer earliest, but I will be there as soon as possible.

Remote workers can go and pretend to work elsewhere.
Because of the additional cost that the employer is imposed on by the state in Germany.

I bet that the total cost per employee is pretty close.
Matrix has fundamental security problems that they seem unwilling to fix. Almost a polar opposite to Signal.
What do you mean "never again"? Parents seem to forget that the 24/7 parenting thing isn't forever. My kid is 7 and would rather do his own thing. And when he was younger I had to juggle things to get time to do things I wanted to do, but that time period doesn't last very long.

Be nice if they had a list of boards with open source development chains (which would require them to acknowledge that Lattice exists - seems completely missing).
The idea that they withdrew from lightly populated Kharkiv and northern Kherson regions they occupied to new positions in the cities to "protect civilians" is ... inventive.

As to your severe reading comprehension difficulties, if you're having to pretend that I'm talking about "authority figures on TV" when I'm pointing out that Russian nationalists on Telegram and Russian state media aren't as enthusiastic about Russia's war as you are, it's not because your cliche ridden contrarianism is coming from a place of actual knowledge...
There's nothing wrong with that, and I have many friends that like the social upsides of having an office.

But I think it will become increasingly common to divide social life and work in the future. Imagine the following: You have a few good friends in Berlin and each of you work for different companies. But you all work remotely. You could rent a small office space with your friends everyone could work from there, but on different things. You can grab coffee together and talk about metal bands, you can grab lunch together, and you can get a drink after work.

I for one, would prefer this setup, then being force into a location and social life that I don't want to be part of. Sure, you can be lucky and meet great friends at work, but often times this is also temporary - people leave teams, people leave companies etc.
>If you're going to bother migrating and presumably taking people with you, why migrate to another company's proprietary service, rather than an open protocol?

I'm not taking anyone with me, they already have Signal and WA and obviously SMS. I'm uninstalling Signal and not recommending it again. I can already message Signal contacts using WA or SMS. I don't need Signal for that, and I'm not keeping 3rd messaging app.
Before becoming a parent I generally avoided kids. I had some vague plan about starting a family, but that was it.

It wasn't enjoyable from the get go. But with time we started forming a bond and having our own little habits.

Bottom line is initially you don't know this person so it's hard to expect from you to automatically have a great time. But as a child develops they become more interesting overall.
For me the magic word was "he." Somewhere in the background there's a woman taking on the whole load of the labour.
I'm no expert on this but I am pretty sure they can take your and your wife's reproductive cells and implant them in a surrogate mother, so it would really be "your" kid for both you and your wife, genetically. (There might be developmental issues with removing the baby from the woman who gave birth to it, but I don't know enough to comment there.)
Usually people are pretty chill about something like that.

Vocal conservatives hate “government schools” in general, and usually are able to drive school board votes.
Wow, this summarizes my natural sleep requirements too! I feel blessed that as a dev my job is flexible enough to accommodate it. This is stating the obvious, but this sleep requirement has become more critical with age. I remember being able to reset my sleep pattern by pulling an all-nighter and going to sleep "early" the following day, say 6pm to 8am giving me 14 hours of sleep before an early class. I tired that more than once now that I'm in my mid 30's and neither time worked as expected. My body demanded the lost hours of sleep which I made up over 2-3 days. I couldn't believe it--that I could no longer trick my body into resetting my sleep schedule!
Good point, I meant indifferent.

> If people are/were indifferent, their licenses should reflect that. They overwhelmingly don't.

Apparently, overwhelmingly they do. At least if the licenses used are any indication.

My wife had our first child at 38 and second at 40. Friends have had kids at 44 and 48. Dr in SF said sees a lot of people having kids in their 40s.

It's great unless you or your wife have a specific medical condition you can sill have kids. We didn't need IVF, but have many friends that have used it very successfully.
I think this is very very bad advice. You don't fix one mistake by making another one.

OP said that he dearly loves his wife. I think that's marvelous and he should treasure that. Divorce would indeed be selfish behavior, as you recognize. And that's not where you find happiness and a fulfilling life.

(Aside: your attempt to make the suggestion colorful by adding that the woman should be religious is quite weird. For many religious people, selfishness and divorce are not things that make a partner attractive.)
The only phone keyboard that I've ever been able to tolerate is microsoft wordflow. They discontinued it, and for $reasons (who knows...) it appears to no longer work on recent versions of ios. The apple keyboard is consistently mediocre, however.
Why? after amortization they have 0 value in you books, which means your assets don't sink your balance sheet.
Any time I read a comment like this, I have to ask, when do you get time to do things with your partner? When do you do chores? For most people it's the evening, which you don't have, and in the morning you do your own stuff.

Or am I assuming too much and you are a single parent?
I'll put it this way, I can't think of many activities that I might do that are more important than making sure my kid grows up and has a good life.

Cranking out really cool code? Nahhh

Getting that project at work to get me a raise? Not really

For personal activities that you need to do because they recharge you and bring joy to your life (e.g. kayaking)? Well, you need to juggle schedules and keep doing them. And when the kids are old enough you now have a new partner to do hobbies with.
> The idea that intelligence is problem solving is quite limited

That what is it, or at least, what else can it do in your view?
I once found one article that started with the concept of "probing" with a test signal, and then you need to probe with both sine and cosine to reconstruct the phase. Complex numbers seem to be a neat mathematical notation for this sin/cos pair.
I'm in the same boat! my twitter handle is my HN name with an underscore in the end.
I wish my text editor had a field where I could enter a snippet of python code which would be fed the opened/selected text to process it and replace it with its output. I often do a lot of logically and sequentially complex search-and-replace which becomes a lot of manual labor. As a simple example" replace all the keyboard quotes with “open-close quote pairs” while making sure the final dot is placed outside rather than “inside the quote.”
Well if we're changing the statement so that it's now about impact on life that's mostly correct, except if you're talking to the person who bought the winning ticket.

But we were originally discussing if buying a ticket changed your chances of winning.

Not buying a ticket you have zero chances in infinity. Buying a ticket you have 1 chance in 292 million. I don't think it matters that you have decided that 292 million is a really big number. It's certainly less than infinity and 1 is certainly more than zero. I don't know what kind of maths classes you would need to take to see what has changed there.
They've been fundamentally dishonest in their messaging. The truth is that they don't want to support SMS any more, and they don't care about usability or barriers to entry this causes. If they'd just said that I wouldn't be so annoyed with them.

good, i hate how many devices and applications make me turn off capitalisation.
Wow, I was not expecting to be so impressed. I'm going to literally just try using this instead of Google for a lot of my searches.
Continue typing the following word and it will revert we'll to well if we'll didn't make sense. (In other words, it looks backward two words, not one.)
Since I'm a parent, I'm getting really good at time management. When the kid was 1 it was impossible to do anything, but now that he's 3, I do get at least some time almost everyday for hobbies/projects (not a lot, as you mention, but at least some).

Some things I do:

- I insist on getting some exercise done everyday (basically, walking the famous 10000 steps). Apart from the general benefits of exercise, not being in awful shape helps having more energy and therefore getting more things done. It's difficult to find time specifically for this so what I do is if I have a remote meeting where I'm not going to talk a lot (and most days I have one), I do the meeting while walking outside, connecting to it from my smartphone.

- While commuting to work by bus I do some Anki (I'm learning Chinese with it).

- I'm aware this is not within reach of everyone, but we hired someone to do a good chunk of the housework. When deciding if you should do this, consider that you are basically buying free time for yourself. How much is free time worth to you? For me, now that I have very little, it's worth a lot.

- Having only a little time to do something is no longer an excuse. If I have 15 minutes, I read a book for 15 minutes, no longer saying "I'll save it for when I have more uninterrupted time".
Sounds like you're projecting something on not being a parent. Try the "what for" game. What do I want kids for? To extend my legacy. What do I want to extend my legacy for? To feel connected to the world. What do I want to feel connected to the world for? Just keep going recursively until you deconstruct it to a point where you see that it's not as bad as all that.

I don't know why, but your story made me think of volunteering. Have you considered it? Might give you a sense of motivation and meaning.

Also, since you seem to be in a fragile state right now, very regular outdoors or not-at-home exercise might be a good way to get mental balance.
Richard Fairbank, Capital One CEO famously had 8 kids and seems to have spent enough time with them. Probably helps being a billionaire though....

I think this has less to do with "modern cars" and more to do with American preferences for SUVs. Most "modern cars" in the rest of the world haven't changed much when it comes to visibility (in fact, in some cases windscreen sizes have actually increased) but because of the trend in the US over the past decades for personal cars to get bigger and sit higher on the road, I can imagine that visibility has decreased significantly.

I'm not sure I understand you correctly though. I'm aware of "parking cameras" for driving in reverse. Are you saying American cars typically have cameras covering their blind spots that are meant to be used when switching lanes or turning? Because those are the situations for which you're supposed to do a quick blind spot check by looking over your shoulder and I can't imagine Americans who don't look over their shoulders checking cameras for those.
Many things special about one over another, as most have different features and strong/weak points.

One particularly special about this one is easy integration with Ableton Live, the DAW of choice for many/most electronic music producers - automatic sync, access to a sutset of the sound library, same (but stripped-down) workflow, and compatible project files (from Note to desktop Live).
OPs post resonates with me, even though my wife is often WFH at the same times I am. In an office it’s nice to be able to go for a walk with someone while you talk, or grab a coffee and sit with it. With WFH all interaction is through a screen, it feels subpar to me.
> Do you mean that people risk getting a new number, whether they want it or not?

It's a ̶̶u̶s̶e̶ pay it or lose it thing. AFAIK, typically applies to prepaid/pay-as-you-go SIMs, not on contracts.

For my case, it is that I have to make a 12EUR top-up every 3 months. The top-up credit will expire if I don't make another top-up on time. After a few months on zero credit, you get you incoming calls blocked. And after a couple more months, your SIM is de-registered.

Transferring your number is always possible, yes. As long as you're still the registered owner of the SIM number.
By design it is never going to be able to replace a "laptop" running desktop OS. If the workplace is not designed to work with iPad, then I doubt anyone really can replace even a MacBook with iPad.

Your "mini test" is invalid because they are allowed to choose, ie intermixing all sort of OSes together. In that case it is very likely any workflow the iPad excels at are not used in the workplace, and vice versa that anyone else' workflow is really traditional (as simple as depending on the file system a lot) that doesn't play well with iPad.

When your mini test doesn't agree with how successful it is (for business to deploy iPad), it just means your mini test is nowhere near the norm.

Eg you mentioned school, that's the best case for the iPad to shine, because everyone are mandated to use iPad, and the IT would have already figure out how to perform all needed tasks. (And bonus is that the students are a blank state with no prior bias on how to do a certain thing.)
When I read that you fantasize both about getting a deadly illness like cancer and uprooting your life by leaving your spouse, I think those are warning signs for a depression. It's some very heavy things to be carrying around with you and it sounds really painful. I'm sorry that you're having to deal with such unpleasant thoughts and feelings

I'm not a doctor or psychiatrist, plus this is only a single post on a web forum, so I can't say for certain whether that's the case

I think you need to address the pattern of thought you're describing and that it would be helpful for you to talk to a mental health professional to see if they can provide some relief to you

A first step could be to simply tell your spouse "I think I have a depression and I would like to get better. Would you be okay helping me with that?". Make yourself accountable to the people you love and care about to take the actions needed to get better

Depression is treatable and you can start feeling happy about your life again, I promise you!

I hope you find a way to get through this difficult place that it seems you're finding yourself in
That's incorrect. Dead for person-to-person communication in east Asia yes, but still EXTREMELY common for everything else.

"It doesn't matter for the use cases I don't care about" - what a selfish look at the world.

You don't.

But kids grow up - it doesn't stay this way forever.
As a relatively freshly baked parent, I am willing to agree with your thought process. Parent poster may be focused on kids, but the regret may just be a symptom and about something else altogether. In either case, I am going to join the HN chorus "continue therapy".

FWIW, our decision was not easy ( and, frankly, from my perspective unnecessarily risky, but I am willing to accommodate my partner where it makes sense ). The only real benefit of doing it when you are old is that you go into it with your eyes wide open typically knowing full well the amount of sacrifice needed for it. I don't think having kids was a mistake, but life would have been a lot easier w/o them. Ditto with the dog.

That said.. should the dog die, odds are we will be getting another one shortly thereafter.
I used several iOS apps, and flipsampler is one of the best ones I've tried, quite intuitive.

I didn't expect it, as many times such apps from vloggers and celebrity musicians are just BS endorsement deals for mediocre cookie-cutter stuff.

If you want to give it a try, Ableton themselves offer a nice tutorial:

OS Licensing is crazy.
Last month I was telling a customer that they should just change their Qlikview system to something else just to avoid paying 25% of their bill to Microsoft.
atkailash's comment is visible to me.
This got me thinking.

An image is 2D in space, 0D in time. Because we perceive 3D/1D, i.e. one dimension above in each aspect, we can see a whole image at once.

We can't see an entire video (2D/1D) at once - we have to move in time. We can't see an entire 3D object at once either - we have to move in space.

Technically, text is just as visual as an image. However, meaning is conveyed by the sequence in which we interpret the symbols, and that sequence is 0D in space, 1D in time.

Maybe beings in an 2D time dimension would be able to parse text instantly?

> Now, I am fully aware that there's a low of people for whom the horror of commute doesn't make up for the gains of socializing and others that just abhor having to talk to real-life people. Then there are people who work mainly to get paid and do not care to invest themselves beyond what is necessary. But are those really the majority? I always saw tech as the field where a disproportionally large amount of people truly love what they do. Mostly, because it takes so much grit and persistence to get good at it that most people wouldn't succeed unless they see something in it beyond putting food on the table.

I work as a software engineer. I love my career. I also love to work (100%) from home. It's not an imcompatible setup.

> Then there are people who work mainly to get paid and do not care to invest themselves beyond what is necessary. But are those really the majority?

I work mainly to get paid. I do read all tech books that land on my desk as well on my free time. I couldn't care less to play office politics. I love writing Go programs on my free time. I couldn't care less about discussing REST vs Graphql, Rust vs Go with office colleagues. Again, it's not incompatible.
What they said was outrageous, "Google is screwing us and screwing you" would have been received more warmly.
Cats and dogs cannot understand your frustration with a tech stack or share a similar experience. I have plenty of people around ready to talk to me (sometimes actively trying), but all I can discuss with them barely overlaps with my true interests and situations.
You'd be surprised how many restaurants base large parts of their menu on reselling pre-prepped food that they just throw in a deepfryer.
You can always adopt or find a younger partner.
Generally speaking people on HN are well established in their career and have families of their own, so work is less of a priority for them. I'm 21 and actually prefer being in the office because I live with family and hate having to use my bedroom as an office. I like seeing people and being able to swing my chair around to look at a problem together. I want a dedicated work space to enter 'work mode' in. But my commute is an hour at the minimum and about £13 for a round trip.

If housing in the city was more affordable and people could live a few minutes from the office, maybe they'd be more inclined to go in. Thanks to vampiric landlords who want to suck every penny out of tenants, the young people who do want to go in can only afford to live an uncommutable distance away.
