Yes, what "what"?

That's how circadian rhythms work, and all of the above are true. The author just picked some more unusual/funny/jarring examples after the staples "hungy and sleepy" to drive his point and give some fun to the article.
Yep and actual low brightness settings. Not mess with the contrast so it reduces colour depth, which is what most screens do for low brightness levels :(
> I would love to see a breakdown of that £900... that seems really high.

The £900 will include: supply of a 7kW EVSE; adding a new circuit to your consumer unit/fuse box; running a few tens of meters of fairly expensive cable (6mm SWA suitable for outdoor and underground use) in a careful, tidy way; adding an extra ground point, if needed; an electrical safety test with a special tester; and issuing a certificate (which is mandatory for this type of installation). It'll take the electrician about a day.

People in the UK pay a fairly hefty premium as we don't have as many qualified installers as we probably ought to.

Of course, standard British sockets already supply 3kW - so the cheaper option is just to get an outdoor socket installed on an existing ring main. This is substantially quicker to install in most cases.
> why should a small minority of kids get a huge extra unearned boost?

This is what gives incentive. You do your best, next generation of your genes lives better. If you muddy that connection too much, you got 2 problems on your hands. Some leachers will try to freeride. And some people will stop earlier than they code since they don't see incentive to work more for little gain for their direct descendants.

IMO USSR was a great case study for this. Building wealth was very limited, especially in allowed ways. Thus many people just stopped caring. Do as little as you can to pass by. Drink your days aways. The state will take care of your and your kids basic needs anyway. If you work your ass off - there will be very little change to you and your kids. Unless everybody works their asses off. But turns out in such cases mass apathy wins. And society crumbles.

For the record, I do support free education. And it must be as high quality as possible. You don't want to waste talent because it was born in a poor family. But there needs to be plenty of incentive for that talent to do their best. And inheritance-heavy wealth structure doesn't ensure that either.
Data point for you: In Douglas Coupland's Microserfs the start-up team choose their own titles for their business cards (yes, business cards - it was written a long time ago). Two that I remember were "Personal Trainer" and "Crew Chief".
That's precisely what people like about it. Anyone can come on his show. No matter how batshit crazy. Many people don't want to be coddled and protected from viewpoints other people have decided are fake news or stupid. They can make up the balance themselves.
This is an anecdote, and maybe it's just coincidental timing, but these kinds of operational choices do not work well in a company focused on a single product across multiple devices. Losing so many workers so quickly means a loss in productivity on the issues the platform has, and Spotify has many. Since November there has been an issue on PS5 where any podcast over an hour will not play on PlayStation(so, basically all podcasts). People have figured out the issue, and Spotify has not moved on it.

When you offer a single service and the benefit is being device agnostic, "cutting costs" by wasting time hiring people you probably didn't need to hire only to fire them a year or two later means an amplified disruption that will lose customers.

But hey, board members who jerk each other off once a month in a conference call who are already rich made a little more money by hiring a bunch of people only to fire them later and at a huge operational waste.

This is how our world works and it's bs.
Or stock market greed... of course, if you subscribe to the "greed is good" school of thought, you may also see that as positive.

Do freelance client gigs count as "a job"? If so, a few projects have definitely contributed to visibility: my end-to-end encrypted analytics SaaS [1], and a lot of the open-source libraries that I published while building it [2].

The "build in public" approach of publishing often while doing a side/weekend project helps a lot in showcasing your skills.

To this date since I started by freelance business, it's more often clients finding me then me looking for them.

>I doubt it's that the circadian rhythm is news to the person you're replying to, but rather that that line is fairly badly written, particularly the "want sex and have asthma attacks or a fever in the afternoon" part

That was the best written part of the description, and was written with a clear intention.

The author wanted to add some more surprising (but still really affected by circadian rhythms) stuff, to make the description more memorable and interesting, even to those that knew the "hungry" and "sleepy" part.

I am very honestly curious, what's the reason for Windows Server 2022?
I'm not sure that's true in the UK. The law changed a few years ago limiting the kind of changes you can make to your home wiring, and you have to have a certificate for new circuit installations or significant modifications. I would not want to be the test case for finding out if this did invalidate your home insurance.
You certainly have a point there, but I also remember being absolutely wrong about the Minecraft aquisition which has now paid for itself multiple times.

>The conjunction should be "or" not "and"; and the lack of Oxford comma really, really hurts comprehensibility

Only for people unable to understand a sentence in context.

In general, the Oxford comma, or it's lack thereof, rarely, if ever, is a problem - except for grammar geeks (and even those have debated its significance since forever).
So right now I'm looking at Sonoma's 14.1.2 update. It's not a minor version, it's a patch that "provides important bug fixes".

I can't even begin to imagine what can weigh in at 845 MB for a bug/security release.
Sleep apnea isn't really detected by HRV no bit pulse ox is a pretty good indicator.
What I don’t understand is what the motivation for manufacturers to not just install the open software is… are they trying to harvest charge time data or something? It seems like it would be easier to change any logos in software but leave the rest as is. Non tech buyers wouldn’t know or care… and nerds would buy it in droves. This goes for a lot of the low end network gear too. Are they really adding much value in software?

What you're describing is exactly what most people would call "a pain". It is very doable if it is your job, but it's definitely much much more work than having a Gmail or Proton Mail account or whatever other provider if it's about your own personal email.

There are many who would like to not be beholden to anyone else for their own email, but when they try it, they quickly find it's far too much work to actually ensure that when they send an email to, say, apply for a job, it will certainly arrive.
Well it seems to have made the Finder worse for me, so there's that. And, yeah, it's not particularly quick to install (M2 Pro, 512GB SSD).

I hope Apple can stop faffing about with new whiz bang features for a few iterations and instead focus on working down the ridiculous list of bugs in Sonoma. Somehow they've managed to utterly fuck up application switching, the mind boggles.

Edit since I'm being throttled:

I wholeheartedly agree (and I'm sure I've commented to this effect on HN before): this is probably the nicest Apple laptop I've laid my hands on and nearly the worst version of MacOS I've seen in three decades. I really like the 14" pro form factor. Thankfully I have until January to decide if I want to keep the laptop.

Keyboard focus does not reliably follow you to the new foreground application. I saw this mentioned in the comments in the Ars review but it seems to be worse for me than that guy.

Finder does not reliably display a progress indicator when copying big files, and quick look is as unreliable as ever.

AFP support is completely broken. Apple should just rip that code out instead of letting it rot like that. It's particularly frustrating because Apple dropped support for the version of SMB where Samba "properly" supported unix-y permissions.

SMB support worked for a while in the Finder, but would corrupt metadata from the command line. With 14.1.2 it seems like creating/modifying files on an SMB share from the Finder is as unreliable as the command line.
It's funny that people don't want to call it a charger specifically because it doesn't do the AC-DC conversion, and your example of a thing people call a charger is an AC-DC converter.

And depending on the sophistication of the phone, that converter outside the phone might be doing most of the work.

I have had tinnitus for about 7 or 8 years now in varying intensities and somehow have never thought to do this as an extended exercise (a good 30 seconds of massaging just now).

I'm not gonna say I heard silence for the first time in years or anything, but I just heard something relatively close, for just a short little while.

The audiologist I saw when this all first started also assumed it was stress and/or blood pressure and/or modern way of life issues, as she couldn't find anything physically wrong with my ears.

You're onto something here.
I don't witness this around me. By far, most of my "real life contacts" will only use their phone to use messaging apps, and don't use whatsapp web at all.

Hmm no the oxygen level is definitely not a problem in most cases, especially considering a sleeping person uses even less of it.

Attendi | Senior Frontend Engineer | Amsterdam, ON-SITE hybrid | Full-time (80-100%)
Healthcare professionals have to spend too much time on administrative tasks, when they should be spending that time delivering great care. Attendi allows healthcare professionals to report with their voice. This saves them precious time and removes the screen between client and caregiver, allowing more personal and effective care to be given. We provide an extraordinary work environment: getting paid well to work with smart people on things that directly have a positive impact on society.

Healthcare professionals perform all their administrative tasks in electronic health record (EHR) systems. Attendi voice-enables EHR vendors' applications by developing speech-to-text and textual understanding APIs. Our EHR vendor partners also integrate our UI components, like a microphone that implements UX best practices for recording and transcribing audio, into their applications.

As our senior frontend developer, your will maintain and improve our microphone component across the web, Android, and iOS platforms, while also creating new components that will be integrated into our partners' applications.

We are a small startup team with fewer than ten members, which means no bullshit, moving fast, and getting a generous slice of equity. We're post product-market fit, profitable, and on the cusp of scaling up in the Dutch market.

Check out https://attendi.recruitee.com/o/senior-frontend-engineer for more details on the position.

Feel free to send any questions to berend [at] attendi [dot] nl.

> The extra quotes don't hurt

I have the habit of quoting everything, that way I don't have to think about any corner case where I can skip quotes, and thus conversely never miss anything where I should quote.

I do the same with curly braces, that way I don't have to think whether "${foo_bar}" or "${foo}_bar" was meant, and makes later adding or reading string manipulation (e.g "${haystack/needle/replacement}") or arrays (e.g "${foo[42]}" or "${foo[@]}" that much more consistent: variable references are always bounded by ${} which makes code easier to scan.

I apply that to "${1}" and "${@}" too whenever possible, unfortunately bash 3.x doesn't quite like that so it's not always the case (I can't decide which one I hate more: macOS for the refusal to either update bash or outright drop it† and just have a plain posix sh + zsh, or GNU for the viral license move which is highly detrimental in practice for that case).

I also often quote "semantically", e.g:

# instead of:
PATH="/some/path/${foo}/bar:${PATH}"
/some/command "--foo=${bar}"

# I'd rather do:
PATH="/some/path/${foo}/bar":"${PATH}"
/some/command --foo="${bar}"

† I guess there's a crapton of bash scripts that have been written and possibly embedded in apps or installers, so backwards compatibility won here.

Amazon Enlists SpaceX to Launch Project Kuiper Satellites
I spent a good number of years thinking this was the right solution and heading towards it. I had drawn up designs for my house, solar installation and half a rack of kit. This was to run a domain for my immediate family and all services including media storage and streaming. Solar was going to be 100% grid independent i.e. not some crappy provider based install. The infra was all targeted at Debian.

Then I got two sick parents and a divorce on my hands.

Then I realised exactly how much time, energy, money and headspace managing all this crap really took out of my life because I had to spend it on other stuff instead not out of choice but necessity. One of the absolute killers for all of this wasn't really the cost and complexity but the time to curate my data and deal with it is incredibly high if you have a lot of it. One of the worst sub-parts was the question from the kids: I want this music and then going to get it and deal with it and then distribute it to everyone. This would take hours a month to manage.

I came out of the other side of this somewhat unscathed thankfully and with a much larger pile of cash than I thought I was going to.

So a year long project took place. I combed through several TB of data, from myself and my parents and did a huge minimisation effort. I deleted all the fuzzy ass photos, pictures of stuff no one cared about, all the films I'd already watched, deleted all the crap music, deleted scanned paperwork dating back to 1989 I'd never need, everything. I also did a physical clean out at that point. Then I scanned all the family photos as a backup.

End game was everything everyone in my family ever did, or found value in, could be crammed in 200Gb of iCloud with 40Gb left over. Apple got to handle the music too. So that's how it rolls. I have no infrastructure other than a laptop, router and offline backup drive now, no huge energy dependency (my energy usage is stupid low) and my domain sits on AWS/CloudFront and Apple iCloud+.

There's a dependency in one form or another so I'll pick the one that makes my life easier. Feeling liberated for me is not having the weight of this on my shoulders personally and not leaving that weight on my kids shoulders one day to pick through and deal with. I've been through too many dead people's stuff to want to do that to someone else now.

If I want to learn something, I'll do a formal higher education thing, because I have the time to do it now!

Edit: notably there was an advantage here at two points. Firstly my internet connection was down for 2 days when someone cut the cable. I did not lose any services because I could 4G tether. And secondly I moved house and had several months of hell trying to get an internet connection sorted out. Again, 4G was fine. I was pulling 100 gig a month over that 4G working from home and there was no noticeable material difference for me.

"Technology" is such a broad term. I think it's reasonable to say that social media _likely_ harms our brains. But there's so much more to technology than social media.

Technology makes it so that anyone can create anything, and creating things is the epitome "making the brain work" in my opinion. If you want to create art, you no longer need to buy canvas/paint/pens/whatever, same with music and many other things that technology has lowered the barrier too.

There are so many video games that make your brain work. Not most of the garbage on mobile, but "real" games (for a lack of a better word). Even if it's not explicitly a puzzle game, any sufficiently difficult game forces you to practice and be patient to beat it. When you finally master it, you get that great delayed dopamine hit.

I'm pretty sure the reason I can sit for hours and bash my head against a difficult problem/bug is because I spent my youth failing at video games for hours.

tl;dr yes, some aspects of technology are bad. The solution isn't to blame technology, but to discourage the harmful parts of it and encourage the positive aspects of it.
> I can't even begin to imagine what can weigh in at 845 MB for a bug/security release

Changing a few compiler flags, say to enable a hardened stack, or a compiler update that fixes a bug in such a feature probably could do that.

It could mean lots of tiny changes sprinkled throughout the code that the patching algorithm can’t compress efficiently.
