Europe is a big place with very different restaurant cultures, but Paying for water is very common. Even places were water is “free”, you might be charged for the service of having a glass of water.

Water prices at restaurants can be surprisingly opaque. Like, you might get a glass of water free with a glass of wine, but not a glass of beer. And what about if you want a second glass of water with your glass of wine? Is that included in the wine price or is it full service charge?

It’s been a while since I’ve traveled Europe, but I’m pretty sure there are countries where water is always included.

PocketCasts has a feature called _Volume Boost_ which boosts the sound level. This is often helpful in some podcasts where the audio level is a bit too low in some sections.

To my knowledge, Antennapod does not have this. I've been using it for over a year now.
Hope someone can add a feature for recording snippets, and maybe even one for bookmarks with notes.
One of the hardest things to keep track of, getting back to the interesting pieces of a podcast. Every episode I listen to has something worth remembering, right now managing that is truly cumbersome / time consuming.
A while back a similar project launched, one of their competitors mentioned there is virtually no one willing to pay for this. So I wonder if you thought about this, it might require some solid marketing to keep alive. Good luck to you!

Brexit isn’t the reason they’re failing and losing support. The reason is they are not enacting the policies the electorate expects from them, and in general have been pursuing foolish policies (again, assuming for the sake of argument at least that Brexit itself is not one of those).

I guess the OP referred to ageism as loss of job security.

What’s been your experience? Not everyone is a Spiekermann, Esslinger or Rams. Have you lost out to the newer crowd… more and more folks finish these 3-6 month UX boot camps and not all companies value experience or understand it’s not just about pixel pushing.

Or does OSS design help pay the bills? I’m guessing getting involved in OSS is more about maintaining the design muscle and helping folks out.
Thanks for sharing your insights.

> Any of my limited success in life has come from my willingness to build things that already exist... ...You just need to capture a small slice of an existing market to make a bit of money.

That is an incredible piece of advice.
I often get disappointed or lose the motivation to keep building something that already exists. So reading this really helps knowing its not silly to feel that way but you have to go past it and be willing to create it despite knowing its not unique.

Thanks OP.
Can't speak to the OPs motivations but ant-intellectualism does appear to be a strong element or modern day conservatism in many economies. Arguably an over dependence on intellectual arguments c/f "the deplorables" is the other side's bugbear. Hilary made a target on her own back with that.

Current conservative movements in the US, UK, Australia. Hungary, Poland appear to commonly rely on an appeal to the masses against intellectuals, other people, and against anything which smacks of imposed costs and taxes for the wider public benefit (ie AGW mitigation)
I see this advice (that you should use a custom domain) and it makes me a bit hesitant in that I’m not sure I necessarily trust a registrar more than I trust Google not to allow phishing/hijack/deletion.

That said there’s really two issues if you seperate out the inbox - access to new emails, and access to the historical emails you’ve accumulated. The second can be partially helped by downloading all mail + attachments from the server and keeping a backup.

The first is more complicated either way you look at it.
This article illustrates quite well what our industry is suffering from. (Apart from being 10x as long as needed and full of rambling that makes it hard to actually read fully.)

There seems to be the perception that you can just "get into programming" in a few weeks and then you are a competent programmer creating anything of high quality and value. It's not the case for skilled carpenters, neurosurgeons or concert violin players. How come people seem to believe it's true for the art and craft of software engineering? I've been a computer nerd since high school, studied a Comp.Eng. degree for 5 years, went to grad school for another 4 and now I'm in an industry job for 3 years, and I consider myself only marginally competent at my craft. How come my soccer friend thinks he can watch a bunch of Javascript youtube clips and take an easy distance course at a university to score him a high paying job 2 months from now? That's not how it works, neither with carpentry nor with neurosurgery nor with concert violinists nor with software engineering.

I was looking in that direction, but even the 'smart' dumb phones like this are too limited (I seem to need 5 different messaging apps these days... and navigation, and a few other things) The UniHertz Jelly seems to tread a nice middle ground in that it's got too tiny a screen (about a third to a quarter of the size of a modern smartphone) for casual reading and distracting crap, but fully featured Android for the things you need. I only wish it had a keyboard better designed for the screen size. I thought I'd use voice typing a lot more, but can't convince myself to talk to the machine...

That's exactly why you should remove sources of stress.

If you are financially somewhat comfortable (I assume most people in tech are so, more or less), it's better to go independent.

The first few months you will be so busy and stressed out not only from the baby but from the wife too, specially given the possibility that OP is not on good terms with the mother of the child (not even sure if "wife").

Imagine being bossed around not only by your boss at your job that you are apathetic towards, but also by your wife, and obviously by the baby?

Your linked WSJ article indicates that China's plans are coming to roost sooner rather than later:

> ... have left countries struggling to repay their debts to China.

as this is pretty much the point of economic colonialism, just as the British once ended up with Hong Kong as an outpost for a century so too will China end up with a ring of outposts spanning the globe for a century forward, ideal for those distributed ground stations for its space programs coupled with duty free ports for trade.

Doing well in college is a great measure of how well you'll do in college, and subsequently, many good schools will accept mid degree transfers of undergraduate students who might not have done well in high school. I don't think it's viable to use that to replace the SAT and other current evaluation metrics, however.
wonderful podcast series!
A lot of people naturally approach tests by trying to solve the problems in order.

For some tests, that's not the right approach. Going in order may be a bad idea. Actually trying to immediately solve the problems may be a bad idea. For example, it may be more efficient to check the units of all the multiple-choice answers first, to see if there's only one that's possibly correct.

You could try to figure out the best strategy during the test, but it's far more effective to learn these things before the test.

If you've already done a dozen practice tests, you'll know what kinds of methods there are to quickly eliminate incorrect multiple-choice answers. You'll know, say, that there are fundamentally 8 types of problems, and you'll be able to skim the test and immediately recognize which problems call into which categories.

This is why people who do test prep get higher scores.

That doesn't mean that we should throw out standardized tests, but it is silly to deny that test prep helps (a lot).
Ask HN: Desired OS Features
I am working on the user facing half of an operating system. The UI is a regular OS graphic user interface that runs in a web browser and the bulk of the application is a Node.js application for file system traversal, services, and messaging.

The goal is to solve for decentralization using a tiered data security model cross-OS. The lowest level, the device level, shares access to resources across the internet without security restrictions. The next level, the user level, allows users to determine which resources to expose for other users to access. Currently file system operations are fully available, in bulk and plurality, to both the security model and browser UI. Text messaging, notifications, and status updates are also exposed. I am working out how to expose application and terminal access in a secure manner to the security model.

What features would you suggest I add to this concept? What networked or application features do you wish your current OS had?
No, it’s petty minded high-school philosophy to pretend that starving a paraplegic is morally speaking better than euthanising them with morphine.

There are endless things that distance this from the trolley problem, but mainly starving someone to death isn’t inaction, it’s a conscious clinical choice.

It’s utterly bizarre in my mind that is what the USA settled on as a grotesque compromise. Particularly so because outside the medical setting this would still be homicide by starvation.
so what's the solution? simplify the message to avoid being labeled as intellectual? pander to anti intellectuals?

Yes exactly! I have another side project that had multiple competitors when I built it. I wanted to learn, had a need for it myself, and shared it for fun because why not. Its a decade only now, requires zero maintenance, and brings in about $30k ARR (2/3 of it is ad revenue, 1/3 is subscriptions) and costs $40/m to run. I definitely got lucky in terms of its limited success, but I couldn’t have gotten lucky if I wasn’t willing to try.

Just keep building.

No single reason makes a compelling story but the mixture of reasons are plausible. You would think in these times that the positive benefits of human capital investment in public works would be taken on board, but apparently not.

I like living in a remarkably green city (Brisbane) and I can assure you the costs are massively outweighed by the benefits. The same is true in Edinburgh, Glasgow, London and Paris (and Melbourne and Adelaide) -all cities with a living green heart and streetscape as well as behind private walls, and in suburbs.

Where modern high density building codes deny trees a role the local microclimate is terrible. City flooding is worse, birdlife empoverished, and kids lack spaces to play in nature. It's insane.

Vote for taxes which plant trees in cities people.

Because a color space is a definition of the physical characteristics of the R, G, and B channels, usually given as points in XYZ space, along with the white point of the color space. Every color space is defined in terms of linear intensity from 0 to 1 for each of the color channels. Technically you can even have a color space with more than 3 channels, like what Weta are doing in their spectral renderer.

The point is that a "color space" is the definition of the physical characteristics of the individual channels. This is always linear. After that, many color spaces do define a transfer function for storing and transmitting the data, usually meant to be used for cases where not much precision is available, e.g. when you only have 8 bits per channel. So to say that you have to "switch to a linear color space" is incorrect, as you are not changing the color space, you are just transferring (applying the inverse transfer function) the values from their non-linear representation to linear.
I generally try to keep the number of config files and compilers minimal. I suppose that's considered blasphemous these days, since every simple web app has at minimum 20 different config files in the project root. I prefer solving actual problems related to my domain.

It's not clear what OP is saying. I assumed multiple container instances, but even then, CoW isn't as efficient.
I find the distinction you make interesting. To me, code review is an essential tool for code quality. Not just to avoid merging problematic code but even spreading knowledge of design and approaches and unifying style. Skipping it necessarily reduces code quality.

In other words, why would code quality matter more in a larger company, or why would programmers in smaller companies be able to somehow magically produce relatively higher quality so that reviews are not crucial for them?
This trend will change along the century in relation to the increase in temperature.
C and C++ are pretty specialized this day and age in my opinion, you might have better opportunities breaking into a programming career if you at least get working knowledge of more popular languages
I've noticed something similar, DDG has been increasingly ignoring my keywords, especially when I put quotes around them, and returning irrelevant results. It used to be that if you had two words with quotes around them it would tend to return results with both keywords, now it seems to return results with only one of the keywords. I think the scope of searches has declined also, I can search for things I know exist and DDG won't find them. The more marginal the search, on the fringes outside of what is most popular, the less capable DDG seems to be in finding results. Maybe they shrank the size of their database or excluded a lot of the less connected sites from their search?

You seem to imply learning Tailwind and CSS take the same effort, but I don't have that impression. Tailwind makes CSS tolerable for people who don't use it a lot. Its classes and defaults let me be productive very quickly.
It's not perfect and I don't like that it's yet another config file and more npm madness, but at least it's not CSS.
It’s the curse of popularity!

As soon as gaming a search engine becomes financially profitable, the hoards of “SEO”s develop methods to do so.

On plus side, this means ddg is finally getting noticed, on the minus side, this means they need to react fast or lose ground to the competition that’s relatively better able to fend off spam.

Btw, this is also why search engines only grow big (or go home). Fending off spam is very very expensive and thankless job!
> why should we care

Because you are living in it. (At least that.)

But what I wrote is not "that you should care" - it was that you would better avoid expressions that read naïve and possibly uselessly provocative. When somebody communicates something like "Oh sweet were the times under the iron fist", it better be for a good clear reason.

You should care about your audience - and avoid lacking respect.
A least some of this is the characters movements have no context. They're making gestures that might look more natural if they were talking to another character but they're standing alone on a bridge.

There's also no realistic gravity between their feet/body and the ground or objects around them. They pop up and down if there's a step and appear to be floating.
I can't see pandering working TBH. Chess-Boxing and philosophy down the pub seem like good ideas. Bernie mixes with his voters and doesn't look down on them. Liz Cheney lost touch with her local base, I don't like her or her in-party opposition I just observe she might be what you'd call an intellectual republican.

Simplifying the message is equally dangerous. We are not at war with China, trade or otherwise. Not every opposing view is a lie, and not every opposing person is a traitor or paedophile. Maybe what we need is some truth in the debate? Can't see MTG or Cruz or Boebert doing much truthing and I cannot say I find Pelosi's positions on the DNC and her share trading very truthy either. Bit of "both sides" going on.

Not a US citizen, resident or voter. Just an outsiders view. US exceptionalism, religious fundamentalism, Right wing models of political debate leaked into my country (australia) and we're politically empoverished because of it.
If you're a country not depending on imports/exports for anything crucial maybe yes, otherwise you're the little guy with no leverage that has to bend over and take it.
No, it's still sRGB. Usually it's referred to as "linear sRGB" or "linear Rec. 709" to make the distinction clear. The latter uses the same XY coordinates for its R G and B channels, but a slightly different transfer function.
Isn't that basically politics in a nutshell? I can apply this to pretty much every high flying manager I've worked under
