When disabled, the operating system exposes none of the app's hooks to start any part of it, so it is not true that a disabled app still runs functions on the phone. It is even possible to swap out the WebView implementation for other apps. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/47577525/get-webview-imp...

iOS has just as much bloatware, and much of it can't even be disabled, let alone uninstalled.

For privacy, consider that iOS does not let you disable AGPS data collection. On Android, it is opt in. iOS does not let you open addresses in an offline maps application by default, so Apple gets all your address lookups. iOS does not let you replace your default SMS app, so Apple gets all the phone numbers you want to send a message to in order to see if that phone number is associated with an iMessages account. On Android, you can set your default SMS app to Signal to get automatic private messaging by default. Worst of all, iOS does not let you develop for your own phone without registering an Apple ID.

Apple talks a good privacy game, but there is no substance there. You are jumping out of the frying pan and into the fryer.

Best HDMI Switches to Connect Multiple Devices to Your TV
While this is a nice setup in case of a ThinkPad, this doesn't really work out on practically anything else. I get that a lot of the FOSS, or somewhat more specifically, the hardcore users use a ThinkPad, but the rest of the world pretty much doesn't (at least no longer since Lenovo bought IBM's spun-off computer bits). None of this stuff works on the generic MS Surface or Apple Mac stuff you see in 99% of the use cases where people are capable of installing an OS at all.

As nice as mobile support in OpenBSD is, and as nice as this guide is, it's still super niche :(
The New Retirement Plan: Save Almost Everything, Spend Virtually Nothing
Not too familiar with that, but from what I read they took it pretty seriously and offered some nice tax benefits. They also offered a location in south loop, which is a really nice area of downtown Chicago and still very affordable. It's also a short ride on the train to Midway airpot (not an international airpot like O'hare but much nicer to travel from and to). It's also very close to 3 universities.
The gain on your house will never outpace the interest on your mortgage. Houses as wealth generation (in this simple way, they're still obviously better than nothing and helpful to borrow against) is essentially a scam literally sold by banks. You'll pay $170k on a $100k house over 30 years. If you put that same $70k in Vanguard you'll have over $400k after 30 years (at a modest 6% return).
This is an interesting conclusion:

"Probabilities in physics could also be said to be measures of information interpreted within the framework of a physical theory."
Yes. To add, with the introduction of a global real-time communication network (the internet), we've also realized you must include mechanisms that make it easy for each individual to filter content so that they have the ability to remove themselves from situations that they consider oppressive, unethical, and/or immoral.

> I feel like the cost of having open communication platforms is the existence of toxic communities.

This topic has been discussed through history by many political philosophers. In the US, it's one of our founding principles. A strict non-unanimous majority rule is by definition oppressive. So how does one craft a society that keeps the majority of people happy while keeping in check the oppression a majority exerts upon dissenting "factions"? You preserve certain fundamental civil liberties and human rights for all your citizens. You do this so that a mere majority cannot infringe upon the liberties of minority groups. On top of that, the civil liberties you choose to universally defend are selected such that they give social agency to members regardless of faction allegiance. A faction may begin to feel oppressed by introduction of an ignorant law or by global change in social outlook (including reinterpretation of existing laws). The response is for the faction to exercise their social agency in order to effect political change that they otherwise don't have the numbers to outright decree.

If you allow people to communicate, some are going to say something "toxic". We pay this price so that as a society we retain a means for oppression to be discovered. Indeed two "toxic" homosexuals one day may be the voice for marriage equality the next.
Oh wow - you got the old, old version from the prior site, v1.x. The new version is 2.0.0, it’s a completely different app. Clear your cache and go to getaeether.net again, that should give you the new site and new version.
Thanks for replying -- the client seems to work beautifully on osx here. It took some time to start showing post content, and I even restarted it once because it didn't seem to do that after a few minutes, but now it does, so that's good.

My NAT is apparently a restrictive one, since I've got "Mapping failed, no router, or router uncooperative" as my port mapping status. But as you predicted, I've indeed got some inbound connections, so yay.
It's interesting that aiming high and taking profit from app makers kinda push the goal to make high value apps. While on Android, ad money and free apps doesn't really create the right context
The 7 deadly sins of startups: Lack of market need
I have tried to be world-class many times in my life. I have failed all times. I am 22, for reference, but it seems the like every time I "level up", I find myself improving but also my taste and what I define as "World class" improves.

When I was 14, "world class" meant somebody who could actually make a product that works because all I could do was write basic HTML.
When I was 17, "world class" meant somebody who was capable of understanding the abstraction that was casually thrown around the internet.
At 19, "world class" meant somebody working at FAANG (or whatever the equivalent of it then was)
At 20-21 (last year) I thought it meant somebody who could code and sell to build products that affect millions/billions of lives, like Mark Zuckerberg (watched too much of The Social Network, I guess). It was Zuckerberg or GTFO

Of late I've realised that my skillset didn't matter as much as my ability to figure out how to figure things out and be consistent. Being self-taught and admittedly not "talented", I am in no way "world class" as you may define it, but I know I can figure things out on my own and ask the right people the right questions to continue growing as improving my taste in products.

So what I'm trying to say is world class is a very broad term, but I think if you constantly work on improving yourself you will eventually find you're improving, just like in any other aspect of life.

In hindsight, 14 to 17 year old me would consider current me pretty "World class"
Falsification is part of the data review - the first step is always to eliminate solutions that obviously ie provably won’t work. The decision making process, both for Amazon HQ is inherently subjective / has too many dimensions to make an objective decision.

i.e. the process is for selecting out of the final 20, that have been fully vetted and feasibility established.

Or for deciding among three finalist engineers who’ve passed all interviews and tests and you can only hire one.

Or schools or colleges or whatever.
> There's NO WAY battery life could be better on OpenBSD though. OpenBSD is not even tickless!!

FWIW FreeBSD idled hot on my thinkpad x201 and x201s, where openbsd did not. I got more battery from a slim Linux than openBSD, but FreeBSD was by far the worst for battery life if you're comparing them.
Can second Synth. I always used it on laptops where a full poudriere setup would have been overkill.

Also it’s written in Ada!
I think a work-class software engineer will use the right tool to craft a right-enough solution to solve the right problem.
I think the results would hurt Twitter so they won't do it. Imagine vulnerable demographics in swing states getting 10+ notifications over the course of a year. They'd leave twitter.
How’s the battery life? OpenBSD is nice and nifty little UNIX experience, definitely geared towards users who know what they are doing/wanting.

It seems there is some kind of bootstrap node running somewhere that clients connect to when they haven't got anything. The upside is that this bootstrap node isn't special, and anyone should (I believe?) be able to set up new bootstrap nodes. But I'm not sure on that part.
OP was clearly asking what makes someone a high quality engineer, so focusing on his specific word choices to respond with the "hello world" of web development is a total non-answer in my opinion.
It's super fashionable to bash Metro, but the system today carries over 600,000 riders per day, and that's about a 20-year low. The system is in a hole of deferred maintenance, but attacking it pretty aggressively.

I ride Metro every week day (bus + train) and look: I'm still alive! And on time almost every day. I much prefer it to driving.

I love knowing about Lie algebras and groups, but I think I disagree about the "because". The matrix exponential and logarithm just are. You can define and compute them without invoking anything about Lie groups.

I didn't know the term "infinitesimal generator". Thanks!
I think addresses it succinctly. If you remove google from Android, some apps won’t work because they are ecpecting those services. This isn’t the fault of the app developer.

If you are using linage and /e/ you can’t really add “works with all android apps” as a check in the pro column.

You’re getting even more fragmented than Android which is already much more than IOS. To each his own but let’s be honest about what these are.
I'd say good code is as easy to understand as possible (note, not always easy to understand as not every domain lends itself to that).

The part about attracting other world class developers helps with this as everyone will be on the same page.

> Stories like this: https://medium.freecodecamp.org/we-fired-our-top-talent-best.... are all too common.

Maybe for some people but I've never had issue with it. Managing top talent is definitely its own skill though. One of the challenges is integrating them into the team and not having other people upset when they get high profile projects. It's not trivial but it is doable and in my experience, well worth it.
Unless scientists start collectively taking responsibility for the state of the world in which they live, I don't anticipate quick change.

Everyone has a choice, even scientists who disempower themselves by telling themselves they don't. Learning to stand up for one's self, individually and collectively, can be much harder work than ins and outs of everyday living, especially when it comes to standing up to authoritarian states/industries.

I can trust my fellow scientists to pull together. We shall overcome.
I mean, the math of quaternions just sucks for intuitive understanding.

It's not so much about how they 'magically contain 3d transformations', because you can (and I was taught that way) derive generalized quaternion rotation by writing down the math to rotate a vector around an axis by a certain angle, and then given quaternions and their computational rules as a black box, you can bend that math you wrote down into a shape that fits exactly into quaternions.

In that sense how they contain 3D transformations can be made completely intuitive via just mathematical derivation. You don't really need to visualize quaternions that way because you can visualize it using the basic tools - axis and angle - and then just saying that Quaternions are just a way to hammer that into a compact mathematical shape with certain neat properties.

Imo it's almost exactly the same as gaining an understanding of why you plug translations in matrices into a fourth column and all the accompanying shenanigans with homogeneous coordinates where the other basic operations only require 3 columns when you can just translate stuff by adding the translation vector onto your existing vector: Well, it's a neat mathematical tool with extra neat properties like being able to concatenate a wild series of translations intermingling with other transformations, and putting it all into a single matrix.

The problem with quaternions itself is that you always have that black box that is completely sufficient to working with them on an advanced level, but you will have that uneasiness of a looming black box of nonunderstanding unless you go on a voluntary tangent into a different mathematical field and its accompanying history of how and why they were created in the first place.
I think they must have rev’d the Oryx (or I forgot) but yeah, that’s the more modern looking model.
> Nah, LGBT content being taken down or deemed obscene despite not being explicit or pornographic is the default state of society and has only recently (past 20 years) been more permissive.

This is true and you might think that recent history would give the left pause about calling for increased censorship, but that does not appear to be the case.
My biggest complaint about crystal city is that the restaurants are pretty bad. One one's above the Crystal City Shops are mostly chains you find wherever business hotels. And the ones on 23rd street are just mostly bad.

If I were going to work in HQ2, I'd live in Del Ray, though its more single-family focused. But it has some nice local restaurants.
It actually takes me to that old website when I use 'click here for other options' on Windows and my Arch machine, in incognito mode.

This site is full of misleading or false claims.

>Open hardware licensed to give you rights

>Thelio, Thelio Major, Thelio Massive, and Thelio Io are >OSHWA certified open source >hardware.

The case might be. The mainboard, i.e. the actual computer, sure as hell isn't. Insofar that they're selling "Thelio" as a computer, a reasonable person would interpret this to mean the computer with all parts therein as sold, for which this statement is wholly false. As for the mainboard, my understanding is that it's both designed and manufactured by Gigabyte outside of the US, and the schematics aren't theirs to give.

>Designed and Manufactured in Colorado

>US-sourced wood and aluminum are formed, finished, etched, and built by artisans in our >Denver, Colorado factory. Premium components from around the world are then assembled to >your final specifications.

The case might be. The mainboard certainly isn't. "Premium components from around the world are then assembled to your final specifications." is pretty ambiguous. I wouldn't normally consider a mainboard a "component", it is the damn thing. This is at best highly misleading.

Moreover, according to [1], the company is "chipping away at the proprietary bits until it's 100% open source." This is, like Purism, stating vague ambitions which cannot plausibly ever be achieved; Intel and AMD platforms will never be blob-free.

Your specific examples are special cases. The Surface is essentially a “Windows 10 machine”, and while Apple permits installation of Windows on Macs, other operating systems are specifically not supported. (And macOS is already BSD-esque anyway.)

These instructions will work fine on any normal, generic, PC laptop.

Not that different from the US, outside the hacker news bubble. I have a high schooler and let’s just say there’s a lot of attention to three numbers right now - GPA, SAT, and ACT. Those numbers will have an outsized impact on my kid’s life. Granted though, that there are still paths to a happy life, but just a little more “alternative”.
A small detail, why do we still have to specify the blocksize (bs=1m) to dd. Can't it have a better default than 512 bytes.
I hear this a lot but don’t fully agree to the premise of ‘having no choice’. I published an article once and asked the professor if he was willing to publish open access. His answer was that he was open to it, but that if I was looking for a career in science, publishing OA in the current journals would require more effort from our side to justify the importance of our work. (The other author wanted to stay in science, and wanted to take the easier route, so in the end we decided to publish the old-fashioned way)

Just to say: you have a choice, the OA path just requires more effort. And depending on your area of expertise, the OA journals can actually be very good.

I agree with your conclusion though: change at scale requires universities to change their behavior. Before boycotting Elsevier, a good start would be to move evaluations away from ‘impact factors’ to e.g. h-index.
> Only people who have trained at the feet of experts are allowed to try their hand at designing a language?

You have to be able to design language to start doing it. We do not expect random people giving other people drug recipes to become doctors just from their experience of giving drugs.

> Maybe they learn something, maybe they fail but either way it doesn't hurt anything to try.

I'm horrified by onset of events when it does not fail, not when it does. History of programming languages knows a lot of exceptionally bad programming languages that got finished due to persistence of their authors, and got wide approval and usage.
That’s not true. Organic farming is different from organic certification. I am not certified but I use organic methods. Only those who trust me and know me and have seen my farm knows about my methods but I am a small farm and that works for me. Organic methods of farming : 1. no pesticide or weedicide 2. Crop rotation 3. Cover cropping 4. Hedgerows 5. Watershed management 6. Organic and generally non GMO seeds. Sometimes hybrid Altho open pollinated is more gimmicky. Hybrid is natural. Organic farming that involves tillage also releases carbon. No till organic involves hand labour. It all hinges on manual labour. That’s why I have been begging for automation for small acreage farms that produce food. Not grains or commodity crops or food for industry/exporting like lettuce or strawberries...but for small organic farms under 100 acres that can now afford to go no/low tillage with robotic platforms in the field and automation.

Study Finds Chinese Students Excel in Critical Thinking. Until College. (2016)
And I feel like governments can easily change this, simply by requiring that all publicly funded research must be published in open access journals. So, y'know, the people who actually fund it can read it.

As it stands, I'm fully behind Sci-Hub simply because I'm not affiliated with an academic library, and can't afford to pay all their damn fees. It harms individual researchers as well as individuals who are just plain interested in the material.
Protesting like this is always a very fine line, but i'm personally okay with breaking a law if you are doing it for the sole purpose of trying to change that law.

That being said, i'm genuinely struggling to think of a situation where someone has done this kind of thing for a cause that I disagree with...
I also think that they won't do it, but this kind of speculation about how victims will react is unfounded and also probably harmful.
Every team I’ve worked with has had an informal locking method that gets used for really disruptive work. Instead of locking files in the VCS, you tell everybody that you’re going to be doing X, try not to make changes around that, and coordinate with that person if you really need to make changes on the same stuff.

I think the informal technique works better since it’s a lot more flexible, but the basic concept is very useful.
This is a head scratcher.

Actually, OpenBSD does work on the Microsoft Surface Go, thanks to Joshua Stein's driver work [0]. You're right that many systems will require a more in-depth setup than the ThinkPad in the article (Broadcom wireless and NVIDIA graphics are a challenge in particular), but many laptops work much better than you would expect.

I've had good luck getting it to boot on older Mac hardware; newer systems (especially with the T2 chip) may be harder.

That sounds like an interesting combination. I used to exclusively use tiling window managers (switched between i3 and Xmonad a few time), but ever since I took the time to really learn to live inside emacs I've used it like a TWM. It was really nice for when I had to use a mac for work, but these days I've been using KDE neon, so will definitely have to try out i3 with it.
Particular methods of protest, not always.
Did you read the author’s issues with that?

Modern agricultural practices that focus on yield per acre are also decreasing the quality of the soil.

It’s a short term gain. Long term sustainability is more important.

Given how much food we throw away, I really don’t think the yield per acre is a problem. It’s a race to the bottom anyway.

I'd love to see an example of what these accounts were saying. "Discouraging voting in the midterms" doesn't sound like something an account should get deleted for.

If they're referencing the satirical NPC accounts, then I have even more of a problem with it. If Twitter is going to engage in this type of censorship they should provide some transparency. It's extra concerning that it was the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committe pushing Twitter to do that. All the more reason to avoid the impression of impropriety.
