> Is there even a subset of hardware configurations for which this is the case with Linux?

That's not how cross-platform, cross-application software works. Linux is used for everything. Every other change for power efficiency will get balanced out by another change for raw performance.

Don't use Plaid. https://www.reuters.com/legal/litigation/fintech-firm-plaid-...

I was just thinking of that! It definitely presents some difficult UI challenges though… May I ask your thoughts on resolving those?

> Obviously we have to design for the majority.

That isn't obvious to me. Why remove things that were helping the minority and not hindering the majority?

Great to hear, he really deserves it.

I wonder if Rust is any different. I wouldn't know.

Or more aptly, a car with reins.

I have never seen "swell" used that way. I thought you were saying your battery was making the entire casing swell.

Hm. Maybe that's because the concerns must be balanced differently for different applications?

We're talking about small, quick operations supporting a synchronous, interactive user interface here. When it comes to performance, asymptotics aren't everything.

Then w.r.t. quality of results, you're just using Bing: https://help.duckduckgo.com/duckduckgo-help-pages/results/so...

> I believe a search engine that ignores results based on superficial and aesthetic qualities like "modern web design" would be even worse in that regard

I think you may be confused. No one's trying to replace Google here. The idea is to have another option for when Google craps out on you. And if you find that Google almost always craps out on you, then hey, maybe you're in the 5–10% who have just found their new default search engine :-)

I was going to write a response, but this comment I found further down the page sort of communicates my perspective: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28552078

Hence, “plausible”.

Filippant?

But I mean come on, they're Microsoft. If they really wanted filesystem access to be efficient across systems, we'd have it by now. Although convenient, I doubt that's on their list of primary motivations for doing this.

This is the problem with having the public and private key be the same. Anyone should be able to access your public key, and anyone you deal with should be able to ask you to use your private key to verify your identity. The problem is when that entire process is reduced to "give us the number the government uses to ensure you're you. Don't worry, we won't use it to convince anyone else we're you ;) Or leak it so anyone else can do the same ;) ;) ;)"

Third paragraph from the bottom in the post you're literally commenting on :)

Brave Search supports !bangs ;)

Going back to MB’s article:

> what all bullies crave: the silence of their targets.

Who’s “we”? Everyone has their own standards, and they’re in their right to stick by those standards. It’s whether “we” accommodate those standards that makes the difference.

Why don't we just not yell at each other?

No one is happy about this but the scammers.

Holy crap, you're right.

I would kill for a GUI app like Workflowy with multitrees. I really do need a graphical representation in order to best visualize what's going on.

> America tends to operate in just-in-time style inventory models instead of managing risk by storing surpluses of critical commodities

Does anyone know of some good readings about this? Seems intuitively true to me, but I haven't seen it discussed in-depth as a standalone topic.

You do have to remember to round up, since if log_b(n) = x.y then n still requires at least (x+1) digits to describe in base-b.

I think it comes from a desperation for clarity in a messy conversation.

Then how do you explain how it literally worked just fine until Amazon came along?
