Try getting Samsung support in the US, hah. Where I work most of the employees prefer iPhones, but a few have Samsung. One of the Samsung users had an issue with his screen blanking randomly after about a year so I figured we'd find a local certified dealer or something and get it repaired under warranty. Turns out that in the US there are only three Samsung stores (LA, NJ and NY) that can do warranty repairs on site.

So we scratched that and went through an excruciating online form and eventually sent the phone to some repair center in Texas, I think. After about a month the ticket was updated (but no alert email sent about it, the user just happened to check the website) saying that the phone's warranty was void and it could not be repaired (no further explanation).

After a couple of calls, I finally got someone to tell me it was void because the battery was replaced with a third party one (which was, admittedly, news to me). Then, similar to your issue, they shipped it back to the wrong address (leaving out the suite number) so it took another month just to get the phone back.

I was really stunned at how awful the process was overall, compared to driving ten minutes to an Apple store and usually just having an in-warranty phone with a legitimate issue swapped out on the spot.

Confirmed not banned in the UK, here's some for sale right now on Amazon's UK site: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Bargain-Neodymium-Strong-Magnets-Mo...

I have ordered rare earth magnets several times and it's always interesting to inspect the packaging when they show up. Clearly there are a lot of metal parts in Royal Mail's sorting machines as they frequently arrive in an absolutely tattered padded envelope, usually with tape patches over big holes ripped in the side.

If you can find some N52 grade magnets it's worth ordering them just for the novelty value. Hand someone a roll and ask them to peel one off the end. Or, stick one on the refrigerator with a note "pull this magnet off" and see who falls for it. They are so strong it's like seeing an alien technology in a sci-fi flick.

Really problematic was that after Oracle did not wanted to continue the OpenOffice(.org) project, Apache accepted to take it over. That kept the website people knew up and help spread the false image that OpenOffice is an active project with serious people and development effort behind it.

>>This isn't theoretical, because we already see soap and other easy to fence goods used as exchangeable assets.

How about scaling it? Do you wanna carry a lorryful of soap/cigarettes to buy an iPhone or how? One odd person may still choose to do so and one odd seller may accept such a payment. But it is sufficient just to imagine millions of people doing it tens/hundreds of times a day/week to understand how it becomes not only weird but also almost foolish.

e.g. going to on a picnic, carry a truckload of soap/cigarette packs to pay at airport, hotels, restos and so on and hope that there are enough people out there to accept payment using such goods.

I could use the plugin for a trial period, but now it says that I have to be a premium member? Maybe it's because I also installed the app to my smartphone, thus my smartphone become the one device I can use the free version with?
Hey, thanks.

1: Not currently.

2: I'd love for people to jump in and help out - and I've asked. Besides working on the kernel code, help with things like documentation, userspace tools and the website would really make a big difference. But I'm ok with doing development by myself for now, it's not a dealbreaker.

3. Probably indefinitely, but I'm getting tired of eating ramen, you know? I'm working on bcachefs full time, and have been for quite some time.

4. For going upstream? That's a long ways off, for a variety of reasons - a big one is that I don't want to freeze the on disk format until the main features are at least mostly done, and finishing snapshots is quite a ways off.

But it's plenty stable enough to use now (what I'm hearing from users is that it already appears to be more solid than btrfs). Also, I think I'm going to prioritize multiple devices and replication (and possibly start on erasure coding) after I finish off compression, so that'll come sooner rather than later.
In a far, far future, where a processor would be say 1/10th of the size it is now, I could see it work though.
No, Nothing about Lumina ties it to BSD. On the contrary; it's fundamentally easily portable to any OS. It runs just fine on Arch linux. The "idea" was to generate a basic DE that is not mired into any lame dependencies such as systemd.
This is the first I have heard of bcachefs, and I have used bcache on one of my servers for years.
https://bcache.evilpiepirate.org/Bcachefs/

Looks cool, but it would be nice if there was a vision-like top-level description. I assume it will be a superset of bcache, so you could have an array of big slow spinning disks and a SSH writeback cache device.

This is not actually true; I am aware of lots of non-technical users who know nothing about Sun, Oracle, or Apache and who haven't heard of LibreOffice but who continue to quietly use the free office package they were recommended at some time in the previous 15 years. (For example: I'm a member of an online community of working novelists and just last week someone was advocating OpenOffice to another irritated Microsoft Word customer -- the OO.o user had never heard of LibreOffice and was very taken aback when I gave them an update on the history of OO.o post-Sun.)

While I agree that Apache OOo is effectively dead in the water as an on-going project, its continued existence has caused huge confusion among millions of users and there's now an equally huge public education campaign required to get them moved onto a modern, secure, maintained codebase.

The optimum strategy would be to turn openoffice.org into a redirect to LibreOffice, or to reassign the OpenOffice name rights to the LibreOffice project ... but egos are gonna ego.
Obviously money is my primary motivator for going to work, but offering me more of it won't necessarily make me work more or in itself convince me to go work for someone else. Two salary negotiations ago I turned down money in exchange for more vacation days for example. I've turned down jobs offering more money because they placed greater demands on my time. I've also taken jobs offering less money since they offered me more intellectual freedom and autonomy as to how I go about my work.
They're not even trying to be flexible.

As a technologist who follows tech news, I was never sure which one was the more active/appropriate prohect. Switching to Google Docs and various plain markdown editors has been a huge relief.

A few years ago I said fuck it and bought MS Office. I may only need it once a year when markdown or gDocs doesn't suffice, but the price is worth avoiding the OpenOffice vs LibreOffice fuckery. It also works better.

That has nothing to do with the OS. The Intel ME is nothing more than some tech which can be leveraged/controlled by the BIOS/EFI - or not. There should always be a setting to just turn it off.

Most monitors can't/won't do 23.976Hz, nor 24Hz refresh rate. They require resampling. Some will do it, but are expensive. Large good monitors are very expensive, much more expensive than TVs.

When Rec. 2020 becomes a thing, TVs and monitors will have a vastly different gamut and will use different color primaries.

My personal opinion is that if you need a TV, or a display to watch movies on, buy an 1080p plasma (not LCD) that nobody wants anymore. There are models (search the Internet) which have almost reference-grade color reproduction, something you will not find in any LCD that is cheaper than your car, and contrast is much better than LCD too.
Well, I suppose so, provided that you hold patents and want to use them offensively.

Because as far as I can see, Facebook has an exception saying that if they for some reason patent-sue you first, you would be allowed to countersue without losing your license to their patents.

That could be a misinterpretation, I suppose. But if it's right, then Facebook's license seems superior for those parties who wish to end software patents.

Unmade - https://www.unmade.com | London, UK | Full-time, ONSITE

Unmade is building a vertically-integrated customisation platform for the fashion industry. We’ve created the software to create unique manufacturing as a scaleable service. This allows customers to get involved in the design process, see a photo-realistic preview of their garment, and have it knitted on one of our in-house industrial knitting machines. We're now partnering with bigger brands to take these tools to a global scale and are working to integrate our technology in a range of websites and factories throughout the world.

All of our backend code is written in Python, from our Django-based websites, through to our knitting machine compiler. We practice continuous deployment, using Docker on AWS.

We're looking for a Senior Python developer to help us out across our full product range. Prior knowledge of knitting is not required!

Background about the business:

Sparkpost.com from sendgrid [very bad experience]
We left Mandrill for the same reasons everyone else did. We migrated to sendgrid but then their formatting of our emails was quite odd. We pushed through but after a few months, decided it was too much overhead (emails going as plain text and html when only wanting text)

We signed up with sparkpost yesterday around 9am. Purchased the 100k account and our own IP. Email sent was only about 11k emails which are just notification emails to the same 10-15 people. 4am I wake up to an email that says account was downgraded per our request. I wake up and go look at my terminal and our account was suspended. Suspended for sending emails using an email service? I immediately wrote them but as of yet, have not heard a peep. No warning, just poof.. account suspended. When I goto my billing tab in the account it says the account was terminated. I am posting this as a message for people to be aware.

I already have a mailgun account and will start using that unless I hear back from sparkpost. If I do, I will update this post, actually, I will update it either way in the next 24 hours.

Apple broke the law. Ireland provided Apple with false assurances that they were tax compliant, but there was nothing stopping Apple being fully aware of applicable EU tax laws.

Perhaps Ireland should be punished (though the government is already arguing there is reputational damage), but you really cannot reasonable argue that Apple is not culpable.

And that's of course airspeed, going in the right direction with the jetstream in your back you can go well above 1000 Km/h.
In addition to the Baader-Meinhoff phenomenon, I think there's also the notion of having a concept move into the scope of awareness.

I'm doing a lot of worldview refactoring, reading and thinking on many subjects and topics. As I start assimilating new models and references, I'm going back to older sources and revisiting them in light of the new models I've been acquiring and developing.

The effect can be profound, with many "familiar" works suddenly taking on highly unexpected dimensions.

If you use the mouse then you want the cursor to appear exactly where you clicked. It's just a UX problem, similar with clicking past the last line of a file, even if it's nothing there, the editor should append new lines until the place that you clicked becomes part of the file.
With regular arithmetic coding and Huffman coding you don't need to send over a dictionary. Instead, you can have an adaptive model that learns to compress the data as it goes (e.g. keeps running track of symbol frequencies), and it will still be reversible.

I thought this wasn't possible with ANS. Or has this changed?

This is so simple. It would solve everyone's problems.

So of course that's never going to happen. Welcome to the real world :(
One of my OSS bits of software has an XSLX data export options, so I've been interested in the OpenOffice / LibreOffice split because of a bug in OpenOffice causing the file I was outputting to be read as empty. I've changed the file format now, but even for a tech based audience I got a number of questions about OpenOffice.

Just did a Google Trends on the topic [1] and it shows the two surprisingly close, confirming what you say, the openOffice brand still has momentum.

This is horrifyingly incorrect. AOO still gets a shitload of downloads. It wasn't until last year that LO overtook AOO alone's download total.

You would be amazed. Ordinary people know MSO sucks and want a free alternative. "OpenOffice" is the name they've heard as their exit.

The project is entirely trading on the goodwill that FLOSS activists built up for the name "OpenOffice" from 2002-2010. That brand is still powerful!

So whatever you do, make sure everyone you know uses LO instead of AOO.

e.g. I wrote this last year for Tumblr. Target audience was writers and creative people who aren't geeks but just want to do their stuff. Written after I encountered yet another innocent user who'd just got AOO. Please excuse the apocalyptic tone, (1) that's how you write to catch attention on Tumblr, (2) this was during the six months they had a massive hole in the default install and were spending their time defending the product on blogs rather than fixing it:
