> Maintenance on bicycles is also insane. An "oil change" (clean and lube the chain) every 300 km or so.

In the Before Times (pre-COVID) I cycled 5km to work and 5km back, rain or shine, every workday from March to December in Toronto, Canada.

Every spring I'd spend $100 on a tune up, which usually included a new chain, and every ~second year I'd need a new rear cassette too and some new brake pads too. I've had the same tyres for 10+ years (though I get flats 1-2 times per year so needed new tubes). I lubed the chain once a week from a bottle that I purchased for $10 which lasts for 1-2 years.

I have no idea where you get your bike maintenance ideas from, but my experience was quite different after a decade of experience.

If you're writing out protobufs, isn't the recommended approach to use some record-oriented wrapper? Something like TFRecord. Or is parseDelimitedFrom how that's implemented in the first place?

But Google must surely have some optimized Java libraries for this given that they use protobufs everywhere.

Edit: I found https://beam.apache.org/releases/javadoc/current/org/apache/... which given it was developed by google is probably close to what they use. I wonder if the logic from this could be pulled out for use with non-distributed workflows.

I really appreciate the opinion that using args and kwargs is "bad".. It always annoys me when you get them as your parameters.. even worse when you go to declaration and the declaration also contains unlabeled parameters. A lot of wrapper libraries seem to do this. I try to just name every parameter I can. It's so much easier to use this code now that we are using autocomplete in the IDE.

My current preference is to 1) start with covering veterans completely at the VA and 2) have Medicare for all phased in over decades by gradually lowering the qualifying age. The first is generally politically feasible and will help identify appropriate problems of scale and the second is slow enough to allow the system to adapt but also help the current generation of younger workers by the time they tend to need more healthcare
In 2018 I spent 1 year with my Samsung Galaxy S8 as my only computer. Developed a big national website and a new programming language from Termux.

Going to work with only my computer in my pocket was awesome. No sync between devices anymore.

Forced me to use monitors at work and home which is good for the neck. Had a 15 inch monitor when I was on the move, then a lapdock.

Sadly, I was quite alone and Samsung Dex being not open source nor well funded, some bugs where quite irritating in the long term.

I love many things about the hacker ethos, but after being in tech for several years, I’ve learned the following painful lesson:

Do not self host. The only thing you should ever self host is software your company wrote; unless you have a dedicated team for that specific piece of software alone.

You will never meet the uptime of Google Workspace. Your tools will never have less bugs. You will never meet the security certifications. Your real-time document editing, which may you think doesn’t matter, will never meet your employee’s expectations. You will never have as good tools for automated legal compliance. And if it goes down, which it will, even a day of downtime is more expensive than years of Google Workspace in all but the smallest of businesses. Additionally, every time something doesn’t work (or, heaven forbid, you’ve been hacked), your company’s employees and lawyers can and will blame you instead of an unmovable entity.

Every time I see "building in public" I cringe. Not sure why.

Anyway I have an app idea for a very small annoyance in my daily life. Listening to Pieter Levels inspired me to at least try and ship it. But there's no way I'm comfortable with all the other indy hacker shite I'd need to do to, like build a twitter profile etc. My only hope is probably showing it on a sub Reddit and seeing if anyone finds it useful.

Anyway, as I work as a developer, even if it fails, it doesn't matter. I'll learn a lot by doing it.
I'm sure you could recruit the same bike frame welders in China/Taiwan to make a bike for you. There are some that are willing to make custom modifications on demand for a very reasonable price. If they can do that for one-off welded bikes, then making a standardized cargo frame is absolutely doable for a reasonable budget.

Sure, there's more material, more bending, more welds, and it'll cost more, but you could certainly do that within reason. Like much of the bike industry, these markups are rooted in a foundation of bullshit.
Your wording makes it sound like you think Google out of its way to break termux. What makes you believe that? Its execution model is at odds with the security model Android pushes for so of course it'll come with some challenges. It tries to provide an environment suitable for a legacy application model that doesn't really take security as seriously. The only real way to win here is by using a VM which is what ChromeOS did. That allows sufficient isolation such that it need not try to force something to work in an environment not built for it.
This isn't normal. No other developed country has these issues.

> “Interfere to preserve free markets” is odd. The entire issue in the USA is regulatory capture and bribery of the government.

Amazon and landlords exert more power over the day to day life of Americans. The government exists at the edges, or hold a monopoly on violence so that Amazon doesn't have to hire mercenaries. Companies end up owning markets when there's no regulation. Look at the Bell System. Look at Amazon if you want to sell products. Look at every single uneconomic locally owned store or farm. The natural effect of free market capitalism is monopolies.

"If no one will pay for the solution, it may be because of a base factor of reality itself has collided a near universal facet of human nature," wherein the first might take the value of although information might require the expenditure of resources to create, replication of the created information is often difficult to stymie and lacks even the approach to similar levels of consumed resources and the second value of most humans are, unsurprisingly common as a trait of great objective value in any species with a history of billions of years evolving in environments wherein at least some resources are painfully limited, often unwilling to expend resources if they do not have to.

The former is the nature of data itself, the latter having come into the existence the first time a creature with more than a handful of neurons was capable of making the choice to take what was right in front of it as opposed to venturing far afield for something similar. Both predate humans by millions of years at the least, and do not require the abstractions of market and money, or even the homo sapiens which first coined these concepts.

While these two give rise to the freeloading scamp who attempts to read entire magazine at the news stand if they can get away with it, the printing press or coinage are not specifically required, and, if we were to ever meet other aliens with some kind of civilization, they would likely have situations parallel enough to end up in our eventual xenoanthropology textbooks.

But there are interesting situations, e.g. video on demand. When there was essentially only Netflix, everybody was fine paying a subscription. But now there are many different services with exclusive rights on some content, so people have to choose between paying multiple subscriptions, alternating between subscriptions, or going back to downloading content.

Meanwhile the VoD services get more expensive and add ads on top of subscriptions. Not sure if that model "works".

> What are you primarily using during winter and rainy months?

In the Toronto, Canada, I cycled 5km every workday to/from work, from March to December, rain or shine: as long as the roads were clear I added layers for winter, and during rain I put on rain gear (like even a simple poncho):

Having worked at an electronics retailer, I can tell you that "lots" is doing some heavy-lifting in terms of characterizing how much of the laptop market is taken up by Macbooks, let alone the Air, specifically. Certainly, many college students wouldn't be caught dead with a Windows computer, but most people were happy to walk out with something half the price of a Mac, particularly when they're far more used to Windows at school and work than OS X. Acer and Asus were beginning to take up a decent portion of our sales by the time I left.
>(btw, the FM Towns, IIR, also had specialized graphics hardware to produce arcade-like graphics with tiles and sprites and so on, making it even more different)

I originally thought might have confused it with the X68K, whose it's closeness to arcade hardware such as Capcom CPS-1 allowed for near (but not fully, contrary to popular belief) perfect ports possible at the time. (Capcom even sold a Genesis/SNES controller converter for X68K for the Street Fighter II ports.) However, the FM Towns does have its own share of arcade ports, mainly involving Sega, Taito and Capcom titles, such as After Burner, Operation Wolf and Super Street Fighter II, respectively.

On FM Towns side, their commercial games list appears to be intermediate between X68K's "arcade at home" experience and PC-98's graphics that prioritize RPGs and visual novels (often smut in nature) due to PC-98's graphics capabilities that benefitted static graphics. (No PC-98 mention/discussion is complete if eroge is not brought up at one point anyway.)

The whole experience would have been great, except for one thing which made it unusable for my purposes. Android has that clipboard editor popup that can't be disabled. When using Emacs within Termux, every time I hit ctrl-k, I got that damn popup which blocked a significant amount of the screen for ~10 seconds.

(repeat of the above response type. Sorry if this breaks a rule or something Dang, but it's a pretty tame/decent conversation)

This is still responding to a different complaint. The operational performance of "optimally distributing" the message, or however you want to word it, on was/is both imperfect and perfectly fine at the same time. Where the ball was dropped was in responding to a complaint about how the posting was specially hidden where the communicated action was how it will be shown on a different site in the future in place of acknowledging it should be visible as a normal post currently.

When the alarms are going off you're going to be slow, you're going to make the wrong decision on something minor, you're going to wish you had done x by y point in time looking back, you're going to have been imperfect. All that kind of stuff was handled fine (from what I can tell) here. The disappointment in transparency was in deflecting a presented highlight in how to fix a visibility issue instead of outright acknowledging it was a miss.

My message was/is about how that's not cool. Not that their handling of the issue itself was bad or an expectation of apology or expectation more resources should have been put on doing x, y, or z. Just that deflecting callouts on security communication issues with deferrals and redirection is not a cool way to handle security communication. They've since changed it, which is cool of them, but the damage was done with me (and maybe some others) in the meantime. Maybe in the future they handle that differently, maybe they don't, but for now I lost the trust I had that they always will, even when nobody is looking, since they didn't even when they knew people were.

It's absolutely not.

A minority of people have direct access to a network that will let other people reach any service they want to host. You need to carefully select your location to get that. And a lot of people don't even have direct access to a public address.

And that's not even going into the monopolized federated protocols like email, where you can only do anything if big-tech allows.

RE climate argument, your marginal impact on the environment is likely going to be worse with storing stuff locally vs. in the cloud. Even including the extra security/maintenance work that you don't need locally, the data center is still going to have more efficient hardware that's managed better, and gets all kinds of economies of scale, including efficiency (cooling) and utilization (via virtualization, if you're just using a service or VM and not colocating).

I say that as someone who prefers local-first and avoid cloud dependencies like a plague.
Don't read too much into it, it's not about the principle insomuch as its about the efficiency of killing off Chrome OS to merge it into Android, and a continual game of whac-a-mole to woo Samsung execs so they don't put too much investment into software. It'll work about as well as the years of efforts to get devs to do apps the Google way in time for the Pixel Tablet launch.
I actually wasn’t, I was looking for other opinions. I think my view holds merit, but clearly smarter people than me think differently and I wanted to hear their angle.

If you're already using it for large file version control for, e.g., gamedev, and don't mind the cost, how well does it work to store all other company documents? I'd assume it has better scalability and permissions management than Nextcloud (not to mention the version control on par with git).

You probably don’t. You’re seeing some combination of prices you don’t like and/or profiteering.

That wasn't my point. We can own physical items, land etc. Because it's a scarce resource. If me "owning" something doesn't prevent you from also "owning" it, the concept of ownership of that item is absurd.
Why stay? A domain transfer is cheaper than continuing service. What justification do they have for a 60% price hike (which is likely a much higher increase in their margin over the registry + ICANN fee)?
Strange, my experience is that, if I don't upgrade in a while, the automatic updater goes to the next version, and after installing it it tells me there's another update and so on. Or maybe you didn't use the built-in updater?
Yours is an extremely important clarification too.

Syncs get even worse, because most promised unlimited backups of revisions (thereby implying restoration)... And now maye when "deleted" files take up too much room, they disappear.

There are file clouds out there that seem to be better for the natural kind of use, whether it's backblaze, tarsnap, sync.com, self-hosted options and others.

This looks really slick! Quick question for you: the site mentions that other engines are planned. I'm curious what those might be. I would guess something like directly interfacing with containerd or kata, but would love to know more. If I could request one, it would be to directly use systemd, since it now covers all the necessary features to run containers quite nicely.

> don't understand what point you tried to make. Whenever I see price gouging

You’re describing a product that’s too expensive for you. Just because something is expensive doesn’t prove price gouging.

You may also be confusing profiteering in general with price gouging. Even then, you’re made no argument showing the problem is excess margins. Unless you’re looked into the BOM, labour, inventory and certification costs, “this feels expensive” isn’t insightful.

> I have better things to do with my life than planning to startup a company whenever I'm baffled by something

Then it’s not price gouging or profiteering. It’s someone providing a niche product conveniently.

(I personally cannot see how you can make a high-power, decently-ranged, decent-quality electric bike in low volumes with fairly-paid labor and safe storage of e.g. the large batteries without a cost floor of a few thousand Euro.)
