I would love to go fully FLOSS on my phone. I would even love a dumbphone better. I just need/love to use my smartphone for a few things:

- Spotify

- Google Maps

- Sygic car navigation

- WhatsApp/Telegram

There are just no viable fully FLOSS alternatives for all these services, AFAIK. Last time I had Lineage+MicroG these services kinda worked, but I didn't have the time to invest such that it would work as smooth as the closed source counterpart. Maybe I'll try again soon.
I live in Stockholm, the stations are almost always clean and tidy, rush hour doesn't look anything close to NYC metro (or any other major metro areas you might think of).

The metro is quiet, even during rush hours, people keep to themselves in their own seats, there are no cracked floors, walls or ceilings (at least on most of the stations I've been to and I think I have been to a good 70+% of them).

It doesn't smell like pee nor vomit and there isn't people shitting on the escalators (like I saw at Jamaica Station when I went to NYC for the first time, it was one of the first sights I had after leaving JFK).
99% building.
Can anybody share the context behind this?
Is CSR Implementation Important for Indian Corporates?
My refrain. If a mechanic conducted business like a hospital they'd have their business license pulled and the owner would go to jail.
I'm not sure that has much to do with it. People don't become servers to make minimum wage.

Imagine if you receive an offer with $160k salary per year, $100k expected public RSUs per year, and $100k expected bonus per year. You'll be upset if you only make $160k salary even though that's above minimum wage.
As you say, the real issue is discoverability, but I don't think the problem is the "junk", as much the large number of perfectly average and acceptably fun games released every day.

I read Mechner's journals a few years ago, and they were illuminating in how basically as an Indie developer at the time you needed not only the willpower and creativeness to make a game, but also have the connections/luck of getting it published (no Steam, no Apple Store... no Internet!) and you also had to dominate the technical aspect and know the underlying hardware, with very little information around (again, no Internet).

If you could manage all this (!) your game was going to be noticed, since there were not so many "good" games being released in general, much less masterpieces like PoP.

Nowadays, the barriers of entry are minimal, there are multi-platform engines with highly refined tools, with plenty of tutorials about pretty much everything, publishing is pretty much an automated process, that gives millions of people instant access to your game.

There was little chance a few years ago of a "good" indie title going unnoticed, nowadays it must be truly excellent to get the spotlight, and even then... it's easy to spot junk, much less to spot a great game in the middle of a sea of perfecty good ones.
the thing is you also need a technical person on staff who is good at vetting.
I consult and am starting a new place in a week, I expect it will be fine, but the interview was a hr person and two techies, the hr person asked some questions and then asked if the techies had questions - no he seems fine. Which of course I am but still, having trusted techies is not the same as having trusted techies that are good at determining who not to trust.
Pascal can undoubtedly be shoehorned into the target of a simple, single-pass LL(1) parser. Doing so comes at a real "flexibility" cost, though. For example, don't try to define your functions in any arbitrary order. It won't fly. As a programmer, you will surely notice the limitations of single-pass LL(1) compilers. Nowadays, infix/Eulerian notations are generally targeted with at least an LALR(1) parser. The notational complexity in languages like C++ (in gcc) and C# generally even exceed what LALR(1) can handle. Apparently, their parsers need to be painstakingly hand-coded. In my book, that is clearly overshoot. Do we really need to create a dependency on languages that even LALR(1) cannot handle? What are you even getting in exchange? Debatable ...
Since they are "your own manpages", I would've guessed they are "user manpages"?
In my experience that's quite rare, what is likely to happen is any postmortem will be used as a political stick to beat someone with.
Nothing has changed. The govt. has gotten better at media manipulation, and/or the media has decided it is easier to get into bed with the govt. Reliance Jio Institute has been declared an "institute of eminence" on par with IISc, and above many IITs. The industrialists hailed demonetisation. Ordinary citizens have few opportunities to enter the stock market, since it is inundated with foreign institutional investors, who may withdraw money at the drop of a hat, thus increasing volatility. There is no critical analysis allowed or taken seriously. Pre-2016, I was depressed at the turn of events. Post-Trump, Post-Brexit, I just think this is the new normal for the planet. Aggressive stupidity is the way forward.

That said, money-making opportunities are present, as they always were.
One of Italo’s many charms is that you can often tell what the singer meant to say in English but the actual meaning is quite different or often just odd. Unlike the Swedish song writers mentioned here, I suspect many Italo artists knew only basic English, which they learned from song lyrics or movies or something.

This mimicry produced great songs—arguably much more disco disco than what came out of the states, sort of like why spaghetti westerns are the best westerns—and it also holds up a mirror to the original culture and material

I'm glad Tesla is at least considering that price-point. When they announced the Model 3 they said they wouldn't go any lower. I instantly thought that would have been a big mistake for Tesla, because not going lower means they won't get anywhere close to being a "leader" in EVs in the future. You still need a significant market share, even if it's not the largest. But you shouldn't be drowned out by competitors either and just remain a "niche luxury carmaker".

Maybe Tesla doesn't need to compete with the cheapest EVs in 10 years (which will probably sell for under $15,000), but they should be "within reach" for most people that aspire to get a Tesla.

They should make it so that people think "Well, I could get this Ford model that I can afford now, or I can save 50% more and get a faster/better built/safer Tesla" - that should be Tesla's goal, to get everyone to think like that.

And to your point about them not being able to fulfill their promise of a cheaper Model 3, I think that's primarily because all of them come with the Autopilot 2.0 hardware. I think this was also a big mistake, and it also pissed me off, because I knew they were making this compromise and why they said they wouldn't go lower in price, too - they focused too much on the self-driving capabilities of the car.

Model 3 didn't have to have self-driving capabilities. I think it was a strategic mistake for them to compromise on price by adding that hardware to all Model 3s, especially since I think Tesla as well as everyone else understimated how much longer it will take to get virtually flawless self-driving. They thought it's going to take 2 more years, but it's probably closer to 10 more years.
Yep - they're great.

I've put in USB3, replaced the spinning disk with SSD, upgraded the WiFi and RAM, but haven't done the CPUs yet (already got dual 6 cores, so aside from a slight clock bump not much point).

My only concern is that the CPUs don't support something that the next major version will require, forcing a move off the MacPro 5,2 platform.
For me, it would be better if the tool actually did something like this:

- open a real manpage `um grep`.

- add a custom field to it, like "personal notes", at the beginning or at the end, whatever.

- save the new manpage in my home directory, so each time I do `man grep` that custom manpage is used and I see my own notes.

It worked out pretty well for the witnesses.
As a Swedish person, this was a delightful read. Even if I don't care much for the particular songs analyzed here. When I hear these types of slip-ups or mistakes from Swedish song-writers, I tend to either cringe a little (i.e. Jenny Wilson's "It's ok, come on, I won't do the things they learned me" from Let My Shoes Lead Me Forward), or find it to be delightfully naïve (i.e. "I called you, she answered
Got strangled on the way" from The Concretes "New Friend"). Very much a question of personal preference, of course.

But I never really thought of the Ace of Base in the pregnancy context. Humbling for me for sure.
Leave “society” out of it. All it would take is for the people you’re attempting to help choose to stop voluntarily accepting to work for less than a living wage. It’s not your or anyone else’s place to tell them that they can’t or shouldn’t be able to do that if they choose.

Netflix started business lending you dvds by mail. They were providing all content they could get their hands on, not curating (except if you call Blockbuster or any other videoclub a "curator of content", based on the fact that they did not have any film on existence).

Kerala is in the midst of an unprecedented flood havoc. The calamity has caused immeasurable misery and devastation. Many lives were lost. Hundreds of homes were totally destroyed and many more were damaged. For the first time in history, 27 dams in the State had to be opened. Never before had the State witnessed a calamity of this scale. In the fight against the flood, we have braved the odds.

Now it is our duty to help the affected rebuild their lives. The path to recovery can be long & arduous, but you can make a difference by joining the rebuilding efforts. Contribute generously to the Chief Minister's Distress Relief Fund.

Curious to look at. Sadly still not what I need. What I need is a Twitter-kind with support for Markdown, editable, virtually unlimited post length (not because I mean to post really long posts but just because I don't want to think about how long exactly my post is and count letters) and multilingual posts feature (write both English and another language versions for every post and let users switch between them). Also plain-text URLs are usually a waste, just add support for good old hyperlinks. Now as Twitter has extended the post length limit (the old limit was just ridiculous) I would stick with it if only it would add the multilingual post feature.
I live in Helsinki where bicycling is slowly starting to be taken more and more seriously as a form of commuting. I noticed some similarities to your comment and what people here are saying about bicyclists.

>Cyclists riding on sidewalks. Apart from delivery people, a cyclist should never ride on the sidewalk in Manhattan. Ever. If you find yourself riding on the sidewalk, just don't take the bike out. Bikes are for roads. The article even mentions how sidewalks are narrow.

People ride on the sidewalk usually because there is no other safe alternative. Depending on the time of the day and the street, it might be extremely intimidating to drive in regular traffic. There are so many drivers who aren't aware of cyclists/hate cyclists that it's better to get on the sidewalk. Of course it should go without saying that you don't do this on Times Square or somewhere equally crowded.

>Bike lanes (IMHO) have made traffic significantly worse because they're thoroughly underutilized and basically kill a lane of traffic (on the avenues at least).

Isn't this kind of a "chicken and egg" type of a problem? They're underutilized because cycling isn't taken seriously and the infra is lacking. Also you can keep adding lanes and lanes for cars but it's not going to help with congestion, eventually there will just be more cars.

>I generally find the delivery cyclists are fine. It's the commuters and tourists who need to be removed from the road. Why? Well tourists are just oblivious and will ride down a bike lane 3 abreast at 6 miles an hour. But the commuters are just plain assholes, as a whole group.

What makes you say that about commuters? Also tourists are tourists everywhere, even in Helsinki. You just gotta live with it.

>Eliminate all street parking
I agree but I think a more realistic goal would be world peace.

I think that a huge part of making cycling and e-biking/scootering work in a major city is creating a good biking culture with adequate infrastructure. Maybe because biking isn't enforced like driving is many riders just selfishly do what they want and seem to lack a certain awareness to situational speed and other users. If they hopped behind the wheel and applied the same driving style, we'd have bodies. Then again, if the infra covers only small parts of the city and is inconsistent, you can't blame riders for breaking the rules.
Ever since I have discovered tldr i've been using man pages less and less.
That's common on the software from the companies producing the machines (we had it too), and isn't quite enough.

It is pretty ridiculous in these cases, honestly. This particular picture didn't have a "photographer's studio" setup - it was an outdoor picture with the family around a long, metal farm gate and the photographer sold the customer the CD. There wasn't much the store could do to prevent this, and we had to start physically checking a lot of pictures at that store.
I have a Fairphone 2 running their non-Google, largely FLOSS, version of Android with F-Droid app store. Sometimes, I'm slightly annoyed that I can't install app X but from the top of my head I can't even tell you what values X took. So it can't be that bad. The only regular annoyance is having to use Open Street Map. Very nice maps, but rendering and localization (GPS-only) are too slow.
Installing this on Linux is straightforward.

1. You need Pandoc. On Debian, Ubuntu, etc. this is: `sudo apt-get install pandoc`. I'm sure there's a similar incantation for Arch and so forth, but I can't be arsed. If you don't already have Ruby installed in your system, you'll need that too.

2. cd into your favorite personal toolbox directory and `git clone https://github.com/sinclairtarget/um.git`

3. Add a symlink to um in /usr/local/bin: `sudo ln -s /your/path/to/um/bin/um /usr/local/bin/um`. Make sure you're symlinking to the um script, not the um directory.

That's it. Enjoy.

I wish that replacing the ROM was so easy. If you have a flagship device, it’s achievable; but if you don’t use flagship devices, it’s frustratingly difficult and requires at the very least substantial technical chops and investigative skill. (And I have no interest in spending more money on flagship devices; I spend thousands of dollars on a laptop because I use it very heavily; but my requirements for a phone are very much more basic, so I am disinclined to spend much on one.)

I would love to replace the ROM on my Samsung Galaxy J1 2016 or my Kogan Agora 6 to go with LineageOS with microG or similar, or even something more extreme; I’d even settle for just rooting the thing, for starters, so that I could use my own DNS server (which you can’t do on a cell connection without using a VPN, which is annoying as it requires a passcode set on the device, but I don’t want to do that). But no rooting tools succeed, and no alternative ROMs provide compatible builds.

Using LineageOS, as one example, seems to require me to craft a config file describing the device’s capabilities and specifications (which I must find, somehow), then build LineageOS (thus I need to construct a suitable build environment), then get it onto the device in some way (admittedly the easiest part of the process).

I want all of this, but I just don’t have the energy to pursue this further to try to figure it out.

People keep on speaking of replacing the OS on your phone as straightforward, but it’s not. Could someone please make this process easier for me?
Can someone explin to me how the US prescription process works? As someone in the UK it seems quite alien.
Smalltalk has live update of the running program, arguably in a much better way than (modern) Lisps. In Smalltalk you edit code directly in the running image, there's no possibility of defining a function in the REPL and having a different definition in a source file somewhere: the source is the image, and any change to code is reflected in the image. The old Lisp machine Lisps (like Interlisp) used to do this too, I think, but no CL implementation I know of does this anymore.

The Smalltalk debugger is famously also implemented in the development image (and implementing a simple debugger is a common project in Smalltalk textbooks). Traversing the stack, accessing locals, stepping, etc. are of course all possible.

No CLOS in Smalltalk admittedly, but lots of shenanigans are possible by fiddling with the object model.

Likewise no macros, but Smalltalk syntax is so minimalistic that creating control structures that look like the built-ins is trivial. In fact, conditionals, loops and the like are entirely unmagical in Smalltalk (modulo performance optimizations to make things go fast); reimplementing conditionals (that look and work exactly like the standard set) for example is trivial.
Stallman commented on this here:

https://www.networkworld.com/article/2200967/software/software-cell-phones-are-stalin-s-dream-says-free-software-movement-founder.html

Quote 1:

"I don't have a cell phone. I won't carry a cell phone," says
Stallman, founder of the free software movement and creator of the
GNU operating system. "It's Stalin's dream. Cell phones are tools of
Big Brother. I'm not going to carry a tracking device that records
where I go all the time, and I'm not going to carry a surveillance
device that can be turned on to eavesdrop."

Quote 2:

Theoretically, Stallman says, phones that use only free software can
protect themselves from the danger of electronic eavesdropping. "If
it's all free software, you can probably protect yourself from that,
because that's caused by the software in the phone," he says.

Clojure is a different language - it borrows stuff from Lisp, but it can't run any non-trivial Lisp code from the past decades without more or less rewriting it. Even primitive stuff like math operators work differently - because Clojure mostly uses the math stack of the host language.

I can imagine that. Someone signed up on flipkart (indian ecom site) with my email and kept ordering stuff with Cash on Delivery. I tried telling them its not the right address, but they kept sending notifications/emails one after another, until one day, I clicked on the links, and did a forgot password option. Then I signed in, and changed the delivery address in my profile. No more emails.
Did they ever fix the global interpreter lock? Sort of a show stopper with doing stuff concurrently in python. I've done a bit of batch processing using the multi process module; which uses processes instead of threads. This works but it is a bit of a kludge if you are used to languages that support concurrency properly.
We (Melbourne) noticed the opposite: the US seems really cheap, until you actually get the bill and add on sales tax and tip; then, turns out, it’s about the same as here.

I went for:

function mdless() {
pandoc -s -f markdown -t man $1 | groff -T utf8 -man | less
}
umedit() { mkdir -p ~/.notes; vim ~/.notes/$1; }
um() { mdless ~/.notes/"$1"; }
umls() { ls ~/.notes }

This way I can write the notes in markdown and view them as such in `less`.
