WhatsApp is infuriating about this on iOS. If you want to share your location in real-time, it needs the full always-on tracking permission. Why not keep sharing but only when I unlock the phone? The other person usually doesn't need 100% live tracking, just to make sure we're headed towards the same place.
Not sure if anyone else has experienced issues with the keyboard. Sometimes keyboard is blocking the screen and I can't get it to go away or the opposite where I can't get the keyboard to come up when I need to use it.
Not sure if the same issue but since iOS 18 and now 26, if the keyboard/text field detects a grammatical error or typo (even when you don't care) it'll almost do this UI thread block type thing where it refuses to let you move the cursor or close the keyboard until you act like you're fixing the error.
I am in a similar boat. My problem is that once I lose momentum on a project I have no interest in every revisiting the work I have done. Sometimes it is a full day of coding, sometimes it is a couple continuous days coding. Once I break away from the computer and start living life it feels like to much work to load all of the project back into my brain. I would finish more projects if I didn't have friends, family, a house, or a life and sometimes I wish for that.
I think that the problem is not that you lose momentum but rather that you start with momentum. I prefer having a clear mind and no need to rush (this happens when I’m excited about the project / have the initial momentum). This helps me a lot at deciding what I want/need/should/must do and what not. It also helps me to prioritize the project over/below family, friends, and house.
It helped me a lot that every time a have a new idea or want to start a new side-project that I wait at least two days before I dig deeper and get really started. Only then I really know if I really want this or if it’s just the initial hype/momentum.
We've lost the fundamental stability of a time when one income could comfortably sustain a family. There has been a systemic shift that undermines family well-being.

I used to agree with you.
I currently believe that period of time (mid-20th century, esp. in the US) was a historical anomaly set up by a fairly unique set of circumstances, and we’re just on a long and slow path to reverting back to equilibrium/norm now.
This. And this high taxation and middle class prosperity was the fuel that drove those who paid higher taxes to give us all the system we see today. Trump is not the cause, he’s the result.
I'm quite sure if you spend money on the same goods like during that day - you can sustain a family. Small house with asbestos, little amount of home appliances, basic small car, no food delivery, no AC etc.
The essential costs - housing, healthcare and education - have far outpaced inflation while the cost of food and appliances has not. How can a single income compete in buying from the limited supply of houses against dual incomes?
Well there are no security guarantees with being a SAHM. Your husband can easily cheat divorce you now and you don’t get much alimony and only some child support. Its better for the woman and the child to have a backup plan.
Yes - given a small number of rights that frankly we should have always had - women have found all kinds of representation in education, salaries and diverse paths in life. Paths not previously open to us and pursued at tremendously high cost.
But population decline frankly is occurring because society is uninterested in changing its relationship with child bearing and child rearing. Men have limited interested in stepping up, women are doing work at home, work at work, work in society. Corporations have less interested in flexibility where women are near continuously penalized or held back. Even in a "progressive" presidency there were more CEOs named John than women CEOs. There's disinterest even when the next generation of workers is on the line and the government...well they are actively moving to unwind the rights we've won.
> It's because women frankly have better options than motherhood and what stay at home parenting entails.
It's not about having better options so much as knowing that they'll be bringing a child into a world that's only going to get worse. A child who may never own a home, who may struggle to make ends meet. A child who may go bankrupt if they lose the healthcare lotto.
While it's true that women's professional opportunities were limited in the past, I disagree that this was the sole or even primary reason for single-income stability. My grandparents' generation, for example, often saw one parent (usually the father) working a manufacturing or union job that paid enough to cover a mortgage, raise several children, and afford basics, even with the mother not working outside the home. The purchasing power of those wages was simply far greater.
That's kinda still the case. The half below the median can't all magically find jobs above the median. Though talking heads would lead people to believe that's true.
The workforce saw an explosion of productivity, and women added upwards of 100% more members of the workforce.
The problem is that all of that wealth went to the billionaires and the rest of us got the bones in the scrap pile. Now we can't even raise our children because we need to work, but we cannot even not raise our children because it costs more than we make.
If the author was really done with social media they would delete their accounts. Since the accounts are not deleted the door is still open. I deleted my accounts over 5 years ago and don't miss anything. In fact I think it has strengthened my connections with friends pushing me to text and call more people. The only regret I have is as a security researcher I lose out on some good OSINT data. There are ways around it but the walled gardens are quite secure and require ID to enter.
The policies states it’s not allowed to use automated tools, not to submit report using automated tools alone. Human review does not really change that.
IMO you're better off just asking Aider to write one tailored to your specific use cases. Anonymizing the code so that I could post this gist is actually the first time I've read most of it, and it's really bad code. But in case none of that deters you, here you go: https://gist.github.com/dgunay/4a07db199ca154614c2193718da60...
That helps but managing 3 friend groups at a time Is a huge commitment even for an extrovert. It might be feasible as a college or high-school kid but not as an adult with kids
