Nokia had firmware updates, but only technically savy people would do them.

It was done via the desktop application to manage the phone.

However one would ususally only get bug fixes on the Series 30 and 40.

On Symbian towards the end of it, there were some OS updates still, but usually only once.

Well, they could have written a neovim frontend using Ink and JS.

That way you would have a declarative UI framework and be able to code in React without having to pay the penalties of having to use Electron.

Funny I remember when Cokie Roberts was pimping Bush during the 2004 elections.

No, NPR's leadership since about the mid-nineties (at least) has been aligned with big business - they are part of the media elite, who collectively, despite the "liberal media" label are actually corporatists (because that's who owns them).
I am not a naval person by any stretch, but I thought the protocol on any large ship (military or civilian) was to have at least one, if not two people on watch at all times?

I would assume a navy ship would have multiple people with eyes 'outside the boat' especially in a busy shipping (and piracy ridden) lane such as the Malacca Straits?
This is purely uninformed speculation. Radar and eyeballs are sufficient to prevent these types of incidents.

Sleep deprivation has continued to be pointed to as a major issue on ships, and yet from the CNO down, this has been ignored and nothing done: https://www.usni.org/magazines/proceedings/2017-07/let-our-s...

Opening flooded compartments is not done lightly, you need to stop the source of the leaks first before you can open the hatches and enter the compartments and do a full search.

A collision between a 10,000 ton destroyer and a 20,000 (?) ton cargo ship dissipates a lot of energy into the water and churns up a lot of turbulent water, if someone fell into the water in the dark, it's not at all surprising that they'd be unable to surface. A human loses buoyancy around 30 feet deep in the water so if you're pulled 30 feet down in the dark, it can be disorienting and hard to figure out which way is up.
It's usable, it's powerful and it's not overly verbose - but I'd contend it's adequate rather than great.
I believe the correct terms are inline vs. post-processing deduplication.

There are pros and cons to each approach, and as usual with storage, a lot depends on implementation and workload.
The system engineers at my work have had a rough time since the Windows 10 rollout. Microsoft now have liberty to change features with zero versioning. Features are added and removed which traditionally came with big version changes. With no stability there's a constant amount of work that comes with upgrading the machines.
Even if they were spoofed, every Navy ship has many people on watch at one time and radar is more than enough to compensate. A more reasonable explanation is exhausted crew and human error.

No, that's a compiler.
Why is it a war crime? If robots can kill humans more humanely than other humans, and cause less maiming injuries, what is the problem?

Because that's who owns the media. The rich and the corporations.
I have both the Vive and the Rift (new SKU) at the moment. In my case:

- Both my Vive and my Rift have visible mura not being corrected by the mura correction. The Vive has a more uniform mura, but darker scenes (even grey ones) are impossible to play. This got worse after an update last November. My Rift shows the following pattern: https://imgur.com/a/fG2F6. Disabling SPUD works but creates many other issues like ghosting / black smear.

- Everything on my Rift is blurry and I cannot read any text at all. Even text that is close. I adjusted the IPD, how I wear it, increasing supersampling etc. all without success. I have a constant feeling as if my eyes are crossed. I can watch Miyubi on the Vive, but not on my Rift.

- The new Rift foam causes pupil swim for me because my eyes are closer to the lens. I can also see the borders of the screen even in the middle.

- I got the new Rift bundle, but many demos assume you have the remote which is not inside the box anymore. For me the Touch controllers are too much of a hassle to put on only to control a movie. I do not seem to be able to wear the Touch controllers like is shown in the videos. May be my hands are too small.

- I prefer the new Vive deluxe headstrap over the Rift's headstrap, but I think the attached audio headset of the Rift is better. I have a lot of trouble putting the Rift on. The pulling while holding the HMD or putting the back part of the headstrap on first and then pulling the HMD over my face. I really like the Vive's deluxe headstrap tighten wheel more.

- The Vive has a brighter image. My Rift's image is too dark for my taste.
They are gradually transitioning their code base to RN. Instagram has been in production for quite a few years now, it can't be an easy task to rewrite everything in RN. I think the above examples are significant, and they claim in the article that it's working well for them, so I expect them to continue to expand usage of it.
Do they do all this testing for all GSM phones in the world? All new and old? All GSM phones ever sold?

I guess not. I guess instead they rely on the GSM specification to allow seamless independence between the phone and the carrier for 99.999% of the phones out there (if not more).

So why do they need to "test" the remaining 0.001% when they have a update in user-facing functionality the carrier will never see or interoperate against?

No carrier in Europe does this.

Does your ISP control what OS updates you can download? No. And why should they?

That carriers needs to do testing is a lie perpetuated to allow for customer-hostile business-practices. Stop repeating it.
PIP somewhat exists already. Some apps, like tinycam already do it.
Absolutely yes. Educating and informing increases suffering. Anyone involved in making information more accessible and the world more connected is enriching themselves at the expense of humanity as a whole.
Not very bad even though water flooded in. But the ship was still in good condition since they were able to stop the flooding and isn't beyond repair.
Simply hashing these wont work since the scripts may be minified by different tools. Also, there's lots of different versions of these libraries, so we're talking about a fairly large number of precompiled libraries.
There are liberal corporatists. I don't know why that would be a contradiction.

Fair enough.

Just as banter, what other networks are syndicated everywhere? I drive a fair bit and will hear K-Love and NPR everywhere. Sports talk will sometimes syndicate later at night, and of course the political talk stations will have programming from elsewhere. But apart from the Christian stuff, I've never heard music syndication as I go between markets.

I don’t see how this would be better than just Neovim with a few plugins. I switched from Vim to Neovim and love it. Highly configurable and rock solid for everything I have asked it to do. Although I miss things like a live Markdown editor with preview like what you see in VS Code, but that is a small price to pay for ultimate control over your editor.
Sounds like NPR is corporatist and part of the military industrial complex. They were pushing war in the lead up to Iraq War 2.

Note: Hillary was for the war, too. She's as hawkish as McCain.
I think you're the only person in the thread who actually gets it.

The true danger of robots for mass combat is that it moves the power squarely into Capital and away from Labor. As long as humans are in the equation, you can always have troopers (and the populace that birthed/supports them) say "No more, this conflict must cease".

If war becomes a matter of some rich asshole turning the murderbot factory knob a little higher to deal with the riffraff, we're in trouble.
Is it a speculation suggesting some if not most are actually in the flooded compartments? Perhaps I didn't see this part in the articles I have read so far.

Not having an ad campaign is an extremely poor reason to refuse to ship EU-wide when they ship to Germany. The operator excuse is not valid in the EU. The EU is supposed to be a single market.
It doesn't even have to be a swarm. Defense contractors are pretty close to being able to build the hardware for a "Terminator". Not a bipedal humanoid robot, but a small unmanned combat ground vehicle equipped with millimeter wave radar, optical, and IR sensors. Use pattern recognition software to detect anyone carrying something that looks like a weapon or bomb and put a bullet into him with total accuracy. Mass produce them and station one on every street corner in a conflict zone.

I'm not particularly looking forward to that future but the technological trends are inevitable and won't be stopped by any UN treaty.
"I'm wondering though: is this just about sexism, or is it about professionalism and maturity?"

It's not a contradiction, it's a clarification. Corporatist means liberal or conservative as long as it pushes the interests of the military industrial complex.

They are only as liberal as their funders permit and kowtow to conservative viewpoints as well.
Personal favorite snippet from the article:

Whenever there's a big event that requires public support, they definitely do their part to push a particular choice. I also remember clearly NPR beating the war drum for war with Iraq. BBC too.
That is nuts. I had no idea such a basic feature was so broken on the iPhone.
I would definitely not categorize defense spending as police.

Healthcare doesn't stop people from spreading colds. You're not actually reducing externalities with most categories of care. And if there were no police you would see a lot more theft.

Anyway, you can put it in cost-benefit terms, but you have to include a strong freedom factor. A government that takes 2% of GDP to keep public order is far better than not doing that. But taking a very large fraction of income to provide health care? That is an enormous cost to both spending and freedom, and reasonable people can see those costs as higher or lower than the benefits.
It often feels high level (iterators and closures and all that), but yes, Rust is definitely designed to give you C++-like control over your memory.

The learning curve is fairly steep, and new Rustaceans do tend to go through a phase of "fighting the borrow checker". But once you get a handle on the ownership rules, I think you very rarely find them blocking you from doing something you actually should be able to do. For example, it is hard to get non-const pointers to two elements of a map at the same time, because the compiler can't prove they're not pointing to the same element, and that would let you violate all the safety rules. But I'm not sure I've heard of anyone running into that limitation in practice. And if you totally absolutely needed to, you could use unsafe code to do it.

The ownership system also gives you a different kind of power, to specify how your API's are supposed to be used, and to have the compiler enforce those rules. If a collection isn't threadsafe, for example, the compiler guarantees that you can't race on it from multiple threads. You can put the container inside a Mutex to let multiple threads use it, but then the Mutex will own the container, and callers can only access it by locking the Mutex. Those are powerful guarantees, and they solve problems that come up in managed/GC'd languages too.

Although I think that might be interesting, would it actually be valuable? Serious question honestly, what would that do for us? How would we use that data?
Since the missing crew are still missing, it's speculation that any are in the flooded compartments, but some of the flooded compartments are crew berths:

Monday's collision east of Singapore was the second involving a ship from the U.S. Navy's 7th Fleet in the Pacific in two months. The Navy said "significant damage" to the McCain's hull caused flooding in adjacent compartments, including crew berths, machinery and communications rooms.
US Navy ships underway typically have at least 4 crewmen on watch as dedicated lookouts, plus at least 4 more on the bridge sometimes looking out the windows and someone in CIC watching radar. In high risk situations there may be even more.

"We are strangers in this world, and the body is the tomb of the soul, and yet we must not seek to escape by self-murder; for we are the chattels of God who is our herdsman, and without his
command we have no right to make our escape. In this life, there are three kinds of men, just as there are three sorts of people who come to the Olympic Games. The lowest class is made up of those who come to buy and sell, the next above them are those who compete. Best of all, however, are those who come simply to look on. The greatest purification of all is, therefore, disinterested science, and it is the man who devotes himself to that, the true philosopher, who has most effectually released himself from the 'wheel of birth.'"
Burnet on the Pythagorean ethic, Early Greek Philosophy

The author of the article is very engrossed in modern values. Don't let her adamance that creators control the world frighten you into churning away at something like knitting block chain encoded socks, or worse writing horror novels. The world is beyond the control of any creator anyway, even Mark Zuckerberg if you'll believe me. I think a lot of people find, after years of creating or struggling to create, it's best (or just good) to consume and contemplate without regret.
> I believe the correct terms are inline vs. post-processing deduplication.

Thanks.

> There are pros and cons to each approach, and as usual with storage, a lot depends on implementation and workload.

I would probably argue that the biggest factors in different performance between ZFS and BTRFS deduplication are nearly independent of when the deduplication happens, and boil down to implementation decisions specific to those two filesystems.
Read-only and read-write snapshots are possible with LVM, ZFS, Btrfs, and many commercial storage solutions.

One reason why you would want a writable snapshot is during backup validation. An application may need to do crash recovery before being able to read data, and having a writable filesystem makes things a lot easier.

I know that ZFS and LVM both send writes to a separate area, so the original snapshot is never modified (don't know about Btrfs implementation details).
Yeah, I feel the same way. I was very much on the iojs side last time, but I was more connected to what was going on back then.
While I agree with the overall point of the author, one thing not pointed out is that she is comparing the greats of the past (or current) to the average person. These people are/were great, not the least because they spent that much time at their work that they produce. To put it another way, there were many more (vast majority even?) people from the past, before technology, who spent their time just as unproductively as the average person nowadays. They may not be consuming content on the internet, but they could just be chatting in person, watching the sceneries, or more likely just doing labor work. Preparing food or doing laundry could be a whole day of work when you don't have technology.

I guess what I'm trying to say is, don't wonder where all the time went for the modern individual compared to the times before technology. Do spend time more productively and create stuff, which is good.
Rich people are not evil. Some may be. Most are not, at least not to the extent you imply. Many rich people are doing good things with their money and time. They have the power to resist the evil ones.
This is why I support stations like KPFA [1], even though I don't support all their viewpoints. Helps me keep my corporatist-bias radar in check.

Mariners don't rely on AIS for collision avoidance. It's all visual spotting, radar, lights, and horns. Everyone knows that AIS transmitters sometimes fail or get turned off. And the reported position may lag behind the actual position by several minutes.
It stops when you're large enough that statistically speaking you should have people of all walks of life in your portfolio. If you then don't that's proof that there is some kind of bias at work.
My point was more that creation can't exist without consumption. It's also damn near impossible to not be a consumer. I agree that it's important to focus on creation, but I disagree with the "consumption is evil" mantra that comes out of these discussions at times.
What commercial software were you using? TCP/IP was not part of the protocol stack we were using. The dumb terminal was sitting at the top of the protocol stack and wasn't using an application like telnet to access remote devices or applications. The point of my example was simply that a dumb terminal or any device or an application were treated the same in relation to the protocol stack. It did not matter.

The top speed of our links was the enormous 64 kb/s and we often had to use far slower services. We found that the overheads of the communication protocols was very small compared to the application processing overheads. It was a different time, I suppose and I find that I have to wait longer these days even when using ADSL than I did in those days.
Ban only works if you agree to it. The technology that does not require rare radioactive isotopes tends to trickle down really quickly. Today's unachievable technical capability will cost five dollars 50 years from now. I'm not sure if any of this can be banned per se. The solution seems to be to have robots that are better by an order of magnitude.

Some things aren't destroyed when they are consumed. A digital recording doesn't disappear when listened to. A book is fine after it's read.
It's not plateaued, both manufacturers are simply trying to establish a solid platform for content to be targeted at. Think of it like game consoles; the idea is to make content easier and more profitable to create, in order to provide more value for consumers, creating a virtuous cycle. Fragmenting the market further by announcing marginally better hardware is not helpful for that goal.

Both HTC & Oculus have already shipped improvements to their existing hardware and I expect that to continue until the next generation of hardware is announced. Specifically:

- HTC has upgraded the tether, audio & head strap, revamped the packaging twice, are about to release trackers, are likely gearing up to release upgraded hand controllers and also new laser tracking hardware.

- Oculus have shipped their hand controllers, plus now support room-scale configurations with multiple cameras.

The list of software improvements on both platforms is much longer, so I won't bother but real-use performance continues to improve with the same hardware.
