Personally it wasn't very hard for me to go down this path because I never found social media (which lets face it is the big driver of phone overuse) to be all that interesting in the first place.

That said I treat my phone mostly like a phone. I have my calls and texts whitelisted. If you're not in my contact list, the phone won't ring or ding. Then if I hear it ring, I know it's someone I know.

I remove most of the apps on my phone and keep it on my desk at all times. No different than a phone you would have hanging on a wall. I treat it the same, so I don't feel the need to really "use" it.

I will take my phone with me when I go places, and use it for music or maps in the car, but because I mostly treat it as a phone, I don't really see it as anything other than that.

When I started doing this I was admittedly pretty bored, but over time I just found other things to do and am never bored now. You just get used to it. Humans are pretty adaptable.
Underrated answer :-)
The assumptions I'm discussing are the permissive types which serve as a trapdoor for good explanations, those don't get thrown out.

Unsupported assumptions, like substructure where none had been observed, aren't thrown out until evidence contradicts them. For example in the case of the ether. Or in the case of strings, as yet untested.
Several kids in my household. YouTube plays a vastly different role for each, which is frustrating.

Oldest goes down rabbit hole of topics of interest - benign useless filler stuff, e.g. mostly pro sports commentary, random things like Disney ride trivia, and other random pop-culture filler. If left unchecked, i wouldn’t be surprised if they spent 8+ hours on YouTube. If moderated, YouTube gives them a fair amount of stuff to talk and connect with others about in real life. Overall impact: neutral to slightly positive if moderated to <1h/day. Food/drink equivalent: Honey Mustard and Onion Pretzel pieces (a few are great, but then you can’t stop and you end up eating 1500 calories and everything tastes wrong for 24h)

Younger teen: will consume insane amounts of gaming videos, most of the creators border on toxic personalities. We’ve banned a number of channels for them, but they find other shitty personalities. I can’t stand the content they consume, but I chalk a fair bit of that to my ignorance about teen culture and mostly grit my teeth. Covid was the worst. I hate YouTube because of their content choices. However, it does provide a small basis of connection to their group of friends. [edit: I also stupidly made a deal that w/ straight A’s I won’t be overly restrictive, which they’ve upheld, sigh] Overall impact: toxic to the point where every month or two I’m convinced to ban YouTube across every device in the house. Food/drink equivalent: Natty Light that’s barely chilled.

Pre-teen: by choice, they spend ~3/4 of their YouTube time learning new skills or facts. Mostly learning specific techniques in the iPad app Procreate, acrylic painting (irl), a ton of educational videos about wildlife/animals they love, etc. But more significantly, their YouTube use has created the reflex to “search first” whenever facing a knowledge/skill gap, then ask for help. They’re the only reason i don’t straight up block YouTube at the network level, for all devices. Overall impact: very positive. Food/drink equivalent: natto and rice.

In a world where you have multiple clients, you want to minimise duplicate work of derived state.

The key takeaway, especially for the author who wants things to "just work", is that he should have used a USB external disk, instead of a Thunderbolt external disk. OSes tend to have more issues with Thunderbolt disks (such as this issue you explained in details) than with USB disks, because the latter is more common, so more corner case bugs have been eliminated.

> Serious question: Can someone explain to me why would someone still be using Oracle in 2022 when we have equally capable or even superior open source alternatives like PostgreSQL, which have none of these shenanigans?

Several years ago I asked this to a company that used Oracle databases in their products.

I pointed out they could save $10 000 for each installation just in licensing, and probably 3 days of intense work to install it (yes, this was my main motivation. I was so good at it I had absolutely no problems with the advanced DBA training, but it still took 1-2 days to set it up the 20th time I did it, and if one missed a single step, like to stop one of the installers between step 2 and 3 to open a terminal and chmod one of the files the installer had just created, you often had to start from scratch.)

The answer was enlightening and went something like this:

"The first thing you don't consider is that the license cost is paid by our customers, and we get a cut. Switching to Postgres would cost us money.

The second thing is that customers see Oracle as a sign of quality. It is easier to sell the product when we say it is built on Oracle "
It finds information about people who sign up, saving the effort of the site administrators, I suppose. It allows for... very easy preferential treatment based on arbitrary metrics such as role, worth, etc. you can find an example in the linked Twitter thread.

Similar background here. I’ve been Very Online for 25+ years and have made a pretty good life for myself as a result.

However, the modern internet and current trend is much more consumption based and non-technical than it used to be. Toxic content, communities, and celebrities were always around (and always will be) but with so much more overall volume you can easily become encased in a bubble of negativity and hate.

I would curate and limit access for children into their teenage years, say 14 or 15. After that I’d just want to know what they’re generally up to so I could step in if, for instance, I had a son who started following Andrew Tate.
> I see no good reason to accept that proposition.

It's basic decency on Hacker News or elsewhere. Feel free to accept it or not but know that others will think less of your comments' veracity and trustworthiness by not doing so.

> * Moreover, I'm not recommending Hasura in this thread (see below). That would be odd, given that I have also said good things about competing products (Potgraphile and Supabase).*

Even if you recommend other products, merely linking to it in a list while not disclosing you work there is distasteful.

> I made 4 comments originally:

Regardless of what the claims you were responding to were, your comments themselves for 3 and 4 are copy pasted in content. That is what someone means when they say one's comments are copy-pastes, or said another way, spam. Out of 4 comments, if 50% of them are the same, that's pretty spammy to me.

> For the record, Hasura has never had serverless functions. It never had them before and it still doesn't have them now.

That's funny, I just googled it now and it does seem to have support for them, at least a page that says so. If that's not really using serverless functions (while literally being titled "Using serverless functions") then perhaps they should change the title and clarify the content [0]. I also don't mean that Hasura should have serverless functions itself, like AWS Lambda, I meant that there was not a good way to trigger database events and if you wanted to write custom logic, the recommended way was running a whole other server, which at that point, I'll just write my own backend myself [1].

All this leads me to believe you're shilling for Hasura, don't actually work there, or some combination of both.

Cost.

I've been addicted to the internet since 2010. I learned a lot and became a developer because of modding communities and general PC building. I've also wasted a lot of time on reddit and youtube. Can't say anything productive has come out of my time on the phone or consoles though.

It makes me wonder how the shift towards mobile and consoles will affect how useful internet addictions can be. I would have never become a developer if I remained a console or mobile gamer.

The communities that I was in are still around but I'm unsure whether young people will actually find them. Why learn how to mod games when you can scroll tiktok, browse reddit, and watch youtube for the entire day.

especially games, modern games aren't as supportive to modders than older games - it's more profitable to not provide modding tools and just to run any multiplayer servers officially with microtransactions.

France has been trying to start their fleet rebuild at Flamanville, but it's proving to take far far too long. 15 years of construction and it's unclear when it will be generating electricity.

Olkiluoto, using the same design, was trumpeted to be ready at the beginning of the year, but is still not online.

Intuition tells me that after 4 decades of construction productivity being stagnant, we will not have any sudden improvements in construction productivity any time soon.

Also, my intuition on wind and solar is entirely different from yours. It's already so much cheaper, faster, and easier to deploy wind onshore, wind offshore, and solar that I can't imagine nuclear being able to catch up. And storage is live today, and ready for the grid. We are scaling storage production capacity far more quickly than we could hope to scale nuclear construction capacity.

The difficulty of commencing nuclear construction at, say, 500GW per year, is absolutely staggering. But we will be very close to that for wind and solar, correcting for capacity factor, quite soon.
> The hospitalization rate for COVID was ~120/100k in 30 year olds.

So I think that roughly answers the question, you might expect something like .12 people to be hospitalized (does that include ICU? Do these people have prior exposures? Comorbidities?).

I just ask because I think not everyone is aware yet that covid was (and is) a disease with a wide range of outcomes. I think the number you cited would surprise quite a few people. Many seem to think it was basically like playing russian roulette no matter your situation, and would have guessed a double digit number.

I'm not making any kind of claim that people shouldn't get vaccinated. Just trying to show that some individuals deciding not to get vaccinated isn't exactly as murderous as some might think.

I apologize if this didn't seem like a polite question. Thank you for indulging me.

> Right, so now we've moved from "free speech" to "free speech unless it has an intention to do harm"

We haven't moved anywhere, because it's not speech that's illegal, it's the intention to do harm. You could perfectly well communicate your intentions to do harm with no speech at all, e.g. by pointing a gun to a bank teller without saying a word. If you use speech to offer to sell drugs to somebody, and a cop arrests you for it, that's not an issue of free speech, that's an issue of drug dealing.

The fact that you aren't allowed to commit crimes by using your speech doesn't make free speech itself a paradox - otherwise any use of the word "free" in the context of humans in society might as well be paradoxical. "We're not free to commit a murder, therefore individual freedom is a paradox" - that'd be quite a naive take on the matter.
Your suggestion of staying home if sick is one I agree with. Unfortunately I cannot make others do this. In fact, where I live in the USA I come across people who are visibly/audibly ill in my daily life: air travel, public transport, grocery store, and so on. I would prefer if these people stayed home, but can I make them? I can wear a mask, and I do (typically N95 in public places). If others think I look crazy, that is a small price to pay to avoid a few weeks of being sick or infecting someone else. Particularly my vulnerable family members.
When I was a chemist we used photoionization detectors to detect VOCs in groundwater.
Read the pdf I posted. The base L14 models, at least here in the US seem to start about $700 (4 cores). Largely because there is a hefty discount that is applied all the time, how much the discount seems to swing +-15% on any given day, but 40% seems to be where its generally at.

And i'm not sure about the mil tested case, but there is an aluminum and carbon fiber+poly carbinate option. At some point though, your going to have to buck up and realize that some of these options cost more, and either bite the bullet or lower your requirements.

I would like to have a laptop with 16 cores, 64G ram, 4K screen and a battery that lasts for a week and costs $200 too, but I have to compromise on the battery life and the price.
Getting Americans to not use measurements like grains (for powder loads or bullet weights), feet per second, yards, MOA, cartridge dimensions and chamber dimensions and barrel sizes in inch-based measurements and other non-metric measurements for anything rifle related is unlikely to happen anytime soon. Unfortunately.

Even things which happen in supposedly entirely metric countries in Europe/NATO land use USA-spec things. Such as: Oh, you want to replace a barrel on your M4 rifle used by a European military? Time to get out your half inch square-drive socket torque wrench and torque that barrel to a certain value in foot-pounds... And after you're done you get to mess around with your SAE spec hex key set to reinstall the hand guard and associated stuff. I'm not kidding.
Adding a confidence score to every answer doesn't look like an insurmountable problem.
> Are you confusing profit with revenue?

Don't think so.

Profit only happens when there is revenue.

Cost is a negative influence on profit, revenue is the positive influence.

If you have zero cost, you still have profit (provided you have non-zero revenue).

If you have zero revenue, you don't have profit.

So it is obvious that the profit is where the revenue is, even though revenue ≠ profit.
These are just my opinions fwiw:

My strategy is to budget for more RAM than I need (16GB should be a minimum honestly for an x86 environment). For laptops I personally don't update the memory, so I feel that soldered memory is fine.

I would suspect the cracked solder joints would be due to people dropping their laptop (indeed there have been issues with manufacturing as well). If you have bad solder joints on memory due to poor manufacturing, how could you trust anything else on the main board?

I would avoid soldered SSDs though.

But that's not a problem with rooftop solar mandates, that's a problem with California's absolute refusal to fix their stupid and terrible electricity market. Electricity doesn't cost 30 cents per kilowatt hour in California because it's inherently harder to generate or sell electricity there, after all, how many solar panels and whatever other infra you want could you build just across the boarder in Nevada and sell back into California undercutting PG&E prices?

I don't have eyes into the specifics, but it's just always seemed like California state politicians have a vested interest in keeping money, both state and consumer, flowing into PG&E.

Our youngest is developmentally delayed and will absolutely ignore any guidelines and follow the path of least resistance / most enticement, so their bedroom connection runs through a proxy running Squid [1] where I've whitelisted school and certain entertainment (that took a bit of time running Telerik Fiddler[2] to gather the many domains necessary for the whitelist)

Spotify was a bit of a problem, again with our youngest who went straight for the podcasts with the most adult content, which Spotify gleefully recommended the first moment we turned the service on. Could never find a way to turn podcasts off - never wanted them.

We run our own Emby[3] server that everyone has access to with curated music tv and movies (and also have the usual streaming video services, but those are reserved for common areas).

Looked at other options like walled garden family services (e.g. Amazon Kindle Fires with subscription), but there seems to only be content ranging up to ~12 year old tastes.
