In my experience, smartwatches are the replacement for iPods -- they play all the media you may want and are highly portable/convenient.

Well, I think it's as simple as you say. Phones have completely taken over the market. The majority of people don't find any value in having another device that's only differentiating factor is that it isn't their phone. (You didn't mention headphone jacks).

iPods are a relic from when a time before everybody carried around a cell phone that could also stream any music they would care to hear. What do I gain from this device that I don't get from using an iPhone?

> So, why is nobody interested in recreating an iPod nano like device? It should be doable with modern tech, but Phones have completely taken over the market...

My guess is that an iPod Nano can’t replace your iPhone so you’re going to have one anyway. If you already have one, why buy something else that doesn’t offer any extra features? Same goes for things like battery life, I’m already charging my phone every night, listening to audio is a very small additional battery drain so my daily habits don’t change.

Combine that with the fact that a lot of people listen to music via streaming services, the Apple Watch exists (works well for runners that don’t want to carry a phone) and you can start to see why the market for an iPod nano is pretty niche these days.

I don’t mean to discourage you, love the research you’ve done and your passion for the concept! Just know that if you build it out it’s going to be a niche product. Nothing wrong with that.

If Amazon is down, it is losing money.

Amazon's infrastructure was designed to prevent downtime at all costs. This was primarily through services deployed across data center clusters to ensure that even if a data center (or two!) went down, everything would continue to work.

AWS grew out of Amazon's "excess" infrastructure that was not used after holiday peaks had ended. AWS follows the same "no down time" design and most AWS products offer service agreements with strong estimates about how many "nines of availability" the service meets.
Wow, you're right.

KDE is modular, a significant amount of that can be removed cleanly. It's not quite as modular as LXDE or Xfce mainly because the binaries for Plasma and KWin-Wayland are handling a bit more than expected, but does it really matter on modern hardware that Plasma has a tiny bit of panel-related code loaded into RAM when your panels are disabled? (I'd probably say this is the worst non-modularity, and it's still avoidable if you're willing to swap out plasma for something else)

Dagger is an API exposed through GraphQL, offering specialized functions for constructing and executing containers. Imagine substituting Dockerfiles with GraphQL calls, and then the Dagger daemon executes the provided instructions. The outcome is a kind of "Turing complete" replacement for Dockerfiles.

The final aspect is that, typically, you wouldn't interact directly with the GraphQL API. Dagger provides wrappers for it in several languages.

Dagger 0.10 enables you to define and invoke your own functions, in addition to those already defined in the core Dagger API.

The initial purpose was to simplify the process of running the same task in any environment. For example, it allows you to replace the cumbersome YAML step definitions of CI/CD systems and effortlessly execute the same task both remotely and locally.
For anyone new to Elm, please know that you have a stable language with no major changes since 2018 and no official release since end of 2019, see https://iselmdead.info and decide if that is a bad or a good thing for you.

What? No, it's a Latin word, and not a distortion of anything. It's a conjugation of the verb 'gero', which has several meanings - but when put next to 'bene', most likely means 'to behave, conduct oneself, comport oneself'. You can see the conjugation table here: https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/gero#Latin. And it forms part of the legal Latin phrase 'Quamdiu se bene gesserit', or 'So long as he shall behave himself properly'. (https://www.oxfordreference.com/display/10.1093/acref/978019...).
> The GP's example of needing to reinstall because they wanted to change desktop environments is nonsensical

I agree that trying out a new desktop environment by selecting a distro package would not normally require a reinstall.
However, in general installing and removing packages (not specifically a desktop manager), especially custom ones with conflicting dependencies can lead to things being broken without a clear direction forward.
To paraphrase Tolstoy, each broken system tends to be broken in its own way — which makes it hard to find help. Maybe wifi, sound, or BlueTooth get inexplicably flaky. Or power management. It is not hard for me to imagine a situation where a user just gives up and reinstalls.
Reading up on Silverblue (which someone else mentioned) and other technologies like Nix give me hope that things are improving.
Why recreate device that died because less and less people wanted or needed it? There’s no demand for it in the market. We have “supercomputers” in our pockets or on our wrists, we don’t need another device to carry in our pockets.

I just checked and realized I have zero annual Stripe renewals that have come through so far today. Not a big surprise, since most of our customers are on monthly subscriptions.

I have wondered about how Stripe handles months with differing numbers of days (for monthly subs), and leap years (for annual subs). Do they accelerate renewals in short months, so that February 28 has all the renewals that normally happen on the 29th-31st of other months? Or do they happen on March 1?
I sympathise with many of your points -- kinda feel your expectations for the Hunger Games were a bit high though. There's a lot more lacking from those movies than violence depiction. And it's also why the "no kids zone" approach is so problematic.

As you point out birth rates are falling, and society thoroughly making sure the fun stuff happens where no kids are allowed is both easier to do than ever, and accelerating that trend to an extent that is hard to describe.

I think people will still want kids, and couples in the right time and place will have one. But not two, or three. Because once they'll experience how it feels to be cut from society as an adult for about a decade, it's a real tough choice to go through that again given all the other sacrifices (career, money, housing, the sheer grunt of it) while getting no sympathy for it ("previous gens all did it, why you complain ? Also can't that kid shut up ?")

"no kids zone" in all nice places is fine if we all accept that we don't really need population renewal or have alternatives ways to preserve our species (There must be some movie with a plot of growing kids on a farm upstate until they're ready for societal life ?)

It's not a stretch to argue that in certain cases the person is mirroring because they're insecure. Empathy as a defense mechanism?

“ Financial systems are inseparably computer systems”

I think this is where he goes wrong. The fact that things stop working overnight means that there is some human intervention required some of the time such that the risk or cost is too great to run continuously.

Same thing happens with porting mobile numbers between carriers. Sure telecommunications systems are computer systems but some percentage of cases must require oversight or intervention enough that it’s not viable to run overnight otherwise they’d do it.

Agreed on the general diffusion of knowledge; I think it's probably a step in the right direction for various cultures to have some basic understanding of those with which they are not personally familiar.

> whenever I really needed him to use his position to do his job

This is exactly what a large number of managers (and corporate ladders) miss.

Managers (and layers above them) are given organizational authority - not merely to coach people, rate people, calibrate people - but to use the authority to solve problems of organizational type in their domain

As an example, if a project is running behind schedule:

- A poor manager tries to hide the real status and tries to PIP and manage reports on that project out.

- Whereas, a good manager tries to bring people together and understand how the team can handle this together, sometimes with borrowed staffing, sometimes with cut scope, sometimes with negotiation of timelines, sometimes with abandoning the project altogether.
That curation sounds like one of those oversight processes I was talking about, but offline instead of online.

> My own anecdotal experience is that dozens of non-tech friends, coworkers, etc. tell me that they are using ChatGPT every day. These are people who are telling me how they use it to draft emails, create marketing material, create sales support material, create education material, etc.

My reaction when I hear this is that those people are being paid entirely too much money if an LLM can do their job. I think this is where the real economic impact will come from: when managers realize it's just LLMs generating emails to be summarized by LLMs and it's just bots spamming each other with busy work all day. At some point companies will realize it's all pointless and start trimming these pointless jobs, leaving a lot of people without any actual skills.

“Prices range from $6.99 per month for a plan that includes an HP Envy printer (the current model is the 6020e) and 20 printed pages. The priciest plan includes an HP OfficeJet Pro rental and 700 printed pages for $35.99 per month.”

So their low-volume plan is 35¢/page, scaling down to 5¢/page. That’s obscene, but not surprising. Corporate greed has been HP’s stock-in-trade for many years now.

So ironic that they call the printer “Envy.” It’s been decades since I envied anyone with an HP printer.

That would have several benefits:

- Free up intelligent people who are currently wasting their lives on said gambling to do things that actually benefit society

- Encourage creation of some other way for people to save for retirement that isn't a casino where their life savings could disappear at any moment

Yeah, that's not gonna happen in a lot of places. There's a decent chance no one can evaluate whether a task is done well or not - or whether it's done at all - so the overwhelming incentive is to do absolute minimum, check the box marked "done", and move on. With seemingly miraculous speed. Doing otherwise, not keeping up the velocity of this fiction machine, just gets you on the short list for the inevitable next round of layoffs.

Years ago in a competitive programming contest, there was an interesting problem to calculate the number of days a bus runs in a given year and a given bus schedule. The bus schedule could contain things like, the bus only runs on weekends, or the bus only runs on weekdays that aren't holidays, or the bus only runs on holidays but including the observed holiday which is the weekday after the holiday if the original holiday falls on a weekend. You know things are intense when you are programming a computer to perform the Computus (calculation of the date of Easter).

Technologists thought, how easy it is. A year has only a few hundred days, and there are only a few dozen possible rules for buses. Brute force is enough.

Nobody got the problem right. It gave me a great appreciation for how complex when technology interacts with culture and customs, long before my professional career.
