I came here to say just this, but you captured every though I had, and better. USB-C finally has the chance to be the universal adapter for "phone sized" devices (there will probably have to be a micro-USB C for things that are tinier) - and if Apple really wanted to show courage/leadership, they would replace their lightning ports with a standard that every device in the world is moving to.

I'd have no problem with USB-C headphones.

Trump is racist. I came up with the same conclusion after listening to him talk about immigration... I didn't need the "news media" to claim anything. Building a border wall to keep out the "rapists"... deporting and banning all Muslims... How is racism not baked right into those concepts? His proposed policies have even gained him an endorsement from the KKK. If you don't already see it then no amount of evidence will help. Im always floored by how blind some are towards racism.
I for one believe apple's users deserve better than a decades-old, ugly design just because everyone else tolerates it.

... the standard terminology is confusing:
calling a number only divisible by 1 and
itself a "prime" already assumes the FTA.

Sort of, but not really. I'm not going to disagree with you, but make the following observation. People reading this article are likely to know about primes, and what you quote here is most likely the definition that they would be accustomed to. Introducing a new, technical term and then trying to describe the details of the difference would most likely derail the purpose, and abusing the terminology a little is perhaps justified, especially when it aligns with people's existing knowledge.

But you are correct, and the reason we have these terms is exactly to avoid some of the "intuitively obvious" misconceptions.
Insteon isn't bad either. Though it's proprietary, which is a big downside. But without you setting up a Hub or software on your PC, the hardware has no way of talking to the Internet. (And most of Insteon works without a Hub or PC even!)
I've been struggling with this question as well. If you want to maintain full control of your project, then you want any contributors to assign copyright, because it gives the maintainer the most flexibility.

On the other hand, as happened here, it makes people less likely to want to contribute to the project, because they probably feel like they are being taken advantage of or losing some right.

A counter argument to that, anyone is always free to fork the project, again, what happened here, but this has the obvious undesirable effect of splitting development effort.

> If we do that we might as well use a lightning to 3.5 jack-adapter

You mean a lightning to 3.5 and an usb-c to 3.5 one. With mandatory Apple/USB tax, DRM may or may not be included, and questionable DAC quality.

A fully passive 2.5→3.5 adapter is much easier, would work with all vendors, and has no potential DRM backdoor capability.

And we'd probably quickly see headphones with native 2.5mm plug and an included 3.5mm adapter, just like we currently have for "high-end" (read: $100) headsets and 6.35mm.

One of the rogue work projects I took on once that I'm still proud of was baking Excel tables into a memory-mapped block in a game engine, and having a very lightweight API for reading the table.

That makes it super easy to author state machines using Excel with arbitrary data per state. Super useful and provided a great way for designers to do the game logic in Excel while I focused on the physics or whatever else.

It was also orders of magnitude faster than any other format the studio was using for data - XML was truly disasterously awful, but even decent formats would be doing parsing, translating, copying and memory allocation per node from whatever file format they were using. Compare that to a table that is ready to go in memory after a single fread().

I still wouldn't call it Table Oriented Programming, nor suggested that it is somehow opposed to Object Oriented Programming, but I do have experience to back up how some of the ideas in this article are good.
There is no such thing as do everything right or don't do anything at all. A nation cannot be an all-or-nothing game.

Yes India has problems, but doesn't mean that it has to stop progress in all other places until all these problems (poverty, polluting vehicles, etc) are solved. Because guess what, if one problem is solved, the next one comes up.

Progress has to happen on all fronts. Banning cigarettes is good and doesn't have to wait until vehicle pollution is banned. Each will take its own time.

Just because India's Mars mission and satellite launches are taking top spot in the news, doesn't mean that India has now started rewarding only the elite. Its a tiny tiny fraction of India's GDP. We lag behind in so many areas, but we are also progressing in Healthcare, IP laws, Right to food, etc. I don't think anyone even knows that India as a "Right to Information" act. Citizens can direct queries to government offices (offline or online) and beaurocrats get penalized if they respond late. So yes, progress doesn't need to stop.

That's mostly a myth, from observing poor blacks etc sporting expensive sneakers or some large-ass TV, and assuming their spending habits are generally like that.

Those "luxury items" are not what the huge majority of welfare spending is about, and welfare is not the reason for them (people which make very little without welfare also splurge for similar purchases -- they serve as compensating factors for the lack of means, and even serve to improve their standing among their peers). Human needs are not animal needs, to end with survival.

We have been doing this in all of our web applications for over a decade now. Essentially, whenever there is an error, we don't just display the error message as-is.

Users are more comfortable with this way: they simply copy/paste the text to us and we have all the info we need.

Eh. Apple's done this before, as Gruber points out, and they basically won. Nobody at this point (at least, that I hear) complains about Lightning cables. Ditching the 3.5mm jack might be a bad idea, but Apple does have a track record of doing this, which is probably why they think they can get away with it now.

Right, the two ways of looking at superdelegates that you and I describe are essentially dual. The point is that the purported intent of superdelegates is not to change the outcome (i.e. make the process not 100% democratic), as was claimed above. Now, if that's not true, then the superdelegate system is much more difficult for me to defend, as a party member. I'd be inclined to join a different party, like the Greens.

Nano is extremely valuable for people learning the system. Typical alternatives are vi and emacs, which are extremely opaque, to the point that it's not even obvious how to exit them. UNIX tutorials will often say "use control-C to kill a command" and then that doesn't even work for this!

Nano tells you how to use it right on the screen. Control-C still doesn't work, but it tells you how to exit. Saving files, paging, cut and paste commands are all shown. There's easily accessible help!

If you're learning UNIX then editing files is handy. Without nano, you'd have to spend a bunch of time learning how to use a text editor before you could do anything that needs text editing.

Since you brought up Apple... How is it that Apple was legally bound to sell the FaceTime app for Mac OS X, or the 802.11n update, because adding new features to an already sold product crossed some weird accounting issue, but Sony had to be sued when they removed an advertised feature and forced to compensate for the loss?

The law doesn't make sense most of the time.

> Sweden isn't legally allowed to extradite him after he's been extradited from the UK.

Can you support that claim?

My understanding was exactly the opposite. Sweden can't execute someone who would face the death penalty where they are being extradited. That's part of why Assange hasn't been charged under the Espionage Act - it would bar extradition. I'm not conspiracy theorizing there, it's been explicitly stated that extradition is a reason to delay charging him until he can be brought here to face a grand jury.

> "Sweden isn't a better country to extradite him to the US from than the UK."

This claim doesn't seem relevant. As soon as he was facing legal involvement in the UK (or as soon as he got asylum, I'm not sure how the timing shook out there), he ran for the embassy. Your implication seems to be that he's hiding from Swedish prosecution rather US law, but I've seen no indication that he would leave the embassy if Sweden dropped charges. Without that, I don't see how the Sweden/UK distinction matters - he's avoiding both legal systems which could extradite him.

This is a sincere question - I'd like to know anything backing those points. I'm not saying you're wrong, but I haven't seen anything suggesting that A) Sweden couldn't extradite, or B) Assange is willing to face the UK legal system but not the Swedish one. One or both of those seems necessary for your conclusion.

The commercial side of building automation is robust, but the components are pricey, the platforms proprietary* and end-user aavailibility seems to be limited. The beauty of the other side is every switch, sensor & controller's first objective is not to monetize the user but rather to simply do it's intended job. Look into building automation controls and you will find what you yearn for; Siemens, Johnson Controls, Honeywell/Novar, BAS... However, retail/public access, setup & end-user friendliness will still be significant hurdles outside of hiring a pricey, authorized contractor.

*The components are simple & generic, the interface & controls are mostly based on a universal framework w/ their proprietary gui/front-end locked on.
When I see Pro and Pro-sumer level audio equipment move away from 3.5mm and 1/4" jacks to...whatever...then I'll start paying attention. Otherwise the downstream is already suspect quality (earbuds, variable bitrate streaming, high-noise environments, etc) so whatever cable or wireless connection consumers prefer is kinda sorta an afterthought to me.
If you care enough about sound fidelity to buy 3x $300 headphones and have a separate amp, it's surprising you don't have a separate DAC too. Not that I'm suggesting you should be 'forced' to buy one, but a decent DAC is a cheap component of such a setup.

According to the OP, this result does not rely on the FTA -- he claims to derive it from the Euclidean Algorithm. makomk does the derivation in a sibling comment.

> In particular, you have assumed that the product of the p_m is k (with appropriate exponents), and because c is in p_n we know that c|k, and hence we know that k=0 (mod c). So your claim here is false.

I don't see any problem there? I say that k = 0 (mod c) because c is in p_n, and k ≠ 0 (mod c) because c is not in p_m. That's a contradiction, which is what I wanted to show. The remaining possibility is that p_n and p_m contain the same prime factors in different quantities, and the rest of the proof reduces that case to this same contradiction.
