pre internet, your name, address, and phone number would published in the widely distributed telephone book.

if you were a big celebrity, you could get an "unlisted" number (I think you had to pay for it), but that was relatively rare.

you might recall, the opening of the original Terminator film (1984, same time period) hinges on this idea: the robot has a name and a city, he tears that page out of a phone book in a phone booth, and starts visiting the addresses one by one.

it's how we all lived (minus the killer robot), and it didn't seem strange at all. Women who lived alone frequently would have just their first initial instead of name, but that was not for fear of "stalkers", it was for fear of potential "heavy breathing" annoyance calls late at night.

AI and Tick Tuck
So I did a catalyst build of EX a while back (which is where https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/106021 came from) - but rather anticlimactically the end result looked almost identical to the normal iOS app when running under macOS; I don't remember the sidebar/toolbar looking particularly better, and that was my main reason for doing the build in the first place (to get a flexibly resizable left toolbar). The main advantage seemed to be that it would run on Intel.

If things have improved I'd love to know, and then perhaps we'll have another shot at it. Are there any good comparison screenshots of the two approaches (with a toy app, i guess) anywhere?
I find this style changes the way I think about and write code transformations.
It's also in shell pipelines, R's magrittr, and Clojure's thread macros, and can be emulated in some OO languages with methods that return the transformed object itself.

Ops person here, by moving Redis/PostGres to Redis Inc./CrunchyData, does that mean your queries are running over internet? What are security/response time implications of that? I can already see my InfoSec person going "YOU PUT WHAT ON THE INTERNET?"
Yeah the other reference point I sometimes think about is the old windows IRC client mIRC. mIRC was super fully featured - it supported downloads, scripting (I think it had its own embedded scripting language), colors, and all sorts of other wild things that I never learned to use. It had way more features than modern discord, although it was missing discord's voice chat, video chat and screen sharing. (And it obviously didn't have any of the modern encryption algorithms).

I downloaded it over my 56k modem and if I'm remembering right, the download was around 2-3mb.
Ask HN: Why did AI research mature in computer science and not in biology?
I dislike touch screen; physical keyboards and controls are better, in my opinion. So, it is good that they are doing these things, in cars and in other devices.

There is the consideration of what buttons to have. I think that for many kind of devices, numeric keypads will be useful. This can include the time and power of microwaves, frequency of radios, telephone numbers, date/time to schedule something, numbered menu items, etc. Stuff such as CD and DVD players and VCRs might also have controls such as play, pause, stop, rewind, fast-forward, record, previous-track, next-track, etc. Anything with audio will also have high volume, low volume, and mute (use a dial might be used to control volume instead, on some devices).

Additionally, a remote control should not be required. The controls should be directly on the device itself, although remote controls (e.g. with IR) might also be available.
> Yes, every second Friday there was mild panic as all the errors and alarms went off when Heroku took the database offline and did whatever they needed to do, then restarted the app. This whole process took about 10 minutes

The heck? Like sure, people may call me "too perfect", but 20 minutes of outage for a Postgres database or a Redis instance / month is entirely not acceptable? Crossing out the less professional words there.

We're not particularly ambitious at work at guaranteeing 99.5 SLA to our customers, but 20 minutes of outage / month is already 99.5%. Availability only goes down if your database just has that. We observe that much downtime on a postgres cluster in a year.
> Given the challenges of trying to characterize the content of every single video viewed, the researchers focused on the type of YouTube channels people watched. They compiled lists of channels that had been identified as alternative or extreme by journalists and academics and then examined how often a participant visited videos from those channels.

> Alternative channels included content for men’s rights activists, anti-social justice warriors, and intellectual dark web material; extreme channels included white supremacist, alt-right, and extremist material.

Eh...

Relying on "journalists and academics disliking a channel enough to claim it's extreme," but then not bothering to actually go look at the details of the material watched, sounds pretty lazy to me if you're trying to make this sort of argument.

Or to at least sample a reasonable cross section (perhaps videos that showed up in a lot of the monitored profiles) and make sure they're generally consistent with what the claimed nature of the channel is.
You mean Team AiR ;)

Between 2005 - 2010, many studios also had "a lot of water" in their computers, so to speak. (Referring to Team H2O)

Incidents like these are unfortunately common among famous electronic music producers. Your comment reminded me of Steve Aoki being caught with a pirated copy of Sylenth1.[1] I recall hearing that he obtained a legitimate license for the software afterwards.

Lastly, I recall the Sylenth1 developer around 2012 - 2015 encouraging people on Twitter to purchase the software rather than pirate it. Not sure how they found tweets mentioning piracy of the plugin, but I do think the plugin is reasonably priced compared to other plugins. Moreover, the license is perpetual.

My mind blown experience was listening to a Rich Hickey talk (maybe not [1]) that flipped upside down my accepted method of thinking about types and type system paradigms. I still love writing Haskell and Rust, but I see the warts that he is so concisely pointing out. The either type really sticks out to me now, and I see the problems with overtyping what are essentially maps, and how rigid that makes every aspect of your programs. Currently I deal with a fairly large go monolith that had some clean code practices in it, and changing a single field that is going to make it into the public API ends up being hundreds or thousands of lines of changes. Such a waste of time to CRUD what is a map of strings.

I interpreted the original question as how to be good at this career of software engineering. If someone wants to hack together some legos and log off at 5pm every day then don’t do anything I said, but also don’t expect to experience the exponential productivity growths enjoyed by devs who take their careers seriously. And subsequently, don’t expect to have a job you enjoy in this industry for very long

For the record, my day job is in fact more of an “integrator” than a computer scientist, but I still find value in every learning principle I laid out.
python3 had no compatibility mode, so everyone needed 100% of their dependencies to migrate. This was so painful that some teams abandoned their legacy python2 code and reimplemented in languages with better back compat stories.

For a long time, they operated more or less like an independent org after the Salesforce acquisition. Eventually they’ve been pulled into the ecosystem though, and now it has the on-brand feel: 10+ second page loads, weird breakage like it taking two tries to click the SSO links to open addons like New Relic, needing to re-auth too often. It’s a shame.
> How long will those tactile buttons last

Button manufacturers rate their products for this kind of thing. ie. "10k cycles" (not that high), "1M cycles" (better), etc.

So it really depends upon the device manufacturer to pick something appropriate.

Random examples:

Datasheet for that has 10k cycles: https://docs.rs-online.com/512f/0900766b8137f3b1.pdf

• https://uk.rs-online.com/web/p/push-button-switches/1759621

The most popular wiki sites just means that the community has to police the problem. Someone has to police the problem or else, even without spammers, you have people fighting grammar and typography wars over the math subreddits. You wake up one day and realize someone added their favorite kind of commas to every sentence across every major math article.

There needs to be gatekeeping.
Salesforce bought Heroku in 2011. Also every cloud provider has an in-house "good enough" PaaS at this point.

This is one reason AWS Fargate is so good. No, it isn’t developer friendly, but it gives you performance that actually matches the CPU allocation while still abstracting the VMs.
The other aspect of this is that it's easier to be the cog when you're tasked merely with implementing shitty decisions. You can just disregard the rationale and focus on the list of things you're told to do.

But as you (hopefully) progress in your career, the expectation is that you are increasingly the one making and justifying those lists, which is much more soul crushing and harder to "background" and pretend that it doesn't matter.
The computer is the easy part — any 10-year-old Android phone would do the compute part, and the networking part, and the screen part; and would be easier to program; and would cost less than pretty much any SBC kit.

The hard part (at a DIY level) is, honestly, the physical buttons and knob — wired as an input device to the compute without hogging the device's (likely only) port — and with good industrial design (no gross 3D-printed textures that easily get dirty from being touched a lot; no deep wraparound plastic bezel that prevents you from touching the corners of the display; dynamic-function side buttons thin enough to allow the screen to show the labels for them; etc.)

You haven't actually made an argument.

It is true that the nomenclature "AWS Availability Zone" has a different meaning than "GCP Zone" when discussing the physical separation between zones within the same region.

It's unclear why this is inherently a bad thing, as long as them same overall level of reliability is achieved.
> The more fundamental problem is that the people who most like systemd are distribution managers. (...) a distribution manager doesn’t have to maintain, integrate, and support a whole bunch of system utilities from different sources – systemd provides everything in one huge build.

Not accurate, at all, on several levels. In Australia you'll be making a six digit income as a doctor (and medicine is a five year undergrad degree), you won't have six digit student loans, and the AMA's lobbying makes it quite difficult to transition your medical degree to the US, even from another "so-called first world country".

There are only 14k, but they are very unevenly distributed, so you might be surprised how many are left for the taking: https://gwern.net/tla

You only have to go as far as 'CQK' before there is, AFAICT and based on Wikipedia entries, essentially no even slightly important use of a TLA. There are then another >2k more or less unused, and if you go to four-letters, you've got ~390k to play with.
From an infosec perspective, as long as the queries are encrypted (with proper TLS verification), that angle is covered (though there are other considerations about data sovereignity etc.).

In terms of response time, that's something you'd need to benchmark for your application - though, given most DBaaSes run in the same major cloud providers are your application, it'll either be the same region or go cross-region via their private backbone, so the latency delta should be manageable. Of course if your app is particularly latency-sensitive for the DB that won't work.
I can't upvote this enough. As an Android developer of an app that uses text messaging, RCS is completely locked out.
And thinner? Why? There's no practical need to be much thinner, and if they are, you start to get into the realm of the iPads that were easy to bend because they were so thin.

I build an add-on for Heroku[0], have worked for a company on and off that's had all core services on Heroku for over 8 years, and I've put a lot of my side projects etc. on Heroku.

My experiences differ depending on the above, I've mostly use Render or an alternative for side projects now (just due to cost/forgettability). As a daily user of Heroku professionally - it's clear Heroku isn't a priority for Salesforce. Heroku has struggled to maintain any form of product development and, if anything, has become more unreliable over the last year or two.

As an add-on developer, my communication with Heroku has been fantastic. You can assume so because it's a direct revenue stream and feature expander - but my experience with other platforms isn't (iOS has slow/poor communication and docs, Chrome's extension support is non-existent and often not backwards compatible etc.). It's kind of re-ignited my love affair with Heroku, like it was pre-salesforce.

Overall I can't see us moving from Heroku unless costs demand us to - it's just too 'easy' to stay. Vendor lock in is real and I'm okay admitting that.

I prefer implicit error handling if exceptions are checked and defined as part of the contract, otherwise it’s definitely hard to trace.

I know the biggest complaint with checked exceptions is that people tend to just use catch all exceptions, but that’s just sloppy work. If they’re a junior, that’s when you teach them. Otherwise, people who do sloppy work are just sloppy everywhere anyway.
Just yesterday I was wondering how the Midjourney equivalent world gen mod for Minecraft might be coming along. Imagine prompting the terrain gen?? That could be pretty mind blowing.

(The following isn't a criticism, just questions that came to mind for me. Looks like a neat app at a reasonable price.)

I'd recommend adding an FAQ.

First train of thought that comes to mind for me (being vaguely familiar with macOS-isms) is how does it achieve the icon swap mechanically? Does it "tamper" with the contents of the package in /Applications?

Assuming yes: are there apps that react negatively to this? Does this prevent you from doing it to system/bundled apps, like Finder or Notes? Does the app itself require disabling SIP or whatever it's called nowadays?

On that note, what OS versions does it support?
In the embedded world, BSP/driver support is the main thing that matters. Linux is undefeated in that area for embedded purposes.
oidc was already possible before and was very easy to setup. this change seems to be more about the internals of matrix auth.

I agree but doctors should go in with open eyes that working fewer hours will require more doctors, and this will in turn drive down MD salaries.
