XS and XS Max have two cameras on the back (two lenses, two sensors, one telephoto, one wide angle)
XR only has one (wide angle)

All three do Portrait mode, although XR uses its wide angle lens and computational photography for that, whereas both XSs use their two lenses (and the subtle shift between the two) with computational photography to make a bigger resolution depth map

I have a XS Max, but I'd say the XR is excellent (camera wise) and good enough for almost everyone. Let that not be your deciding factor

I came to similar conclusions, but then later realized that cannabis was simply making me numb in certain ways. (Subtly dangerous ways, in my case at least. My empathy became retarded.) Sedation and analgesia are incredibly useful tools but ought to be treated with care. Most pain is there for a reason and most of it can be altered, dissolved, or accepted.
I only use the webapp, and the "Use the app messages" was very annoying, until I found that you can actually turn these messages off using some obscure setting (which, of course, I can't find right now...)

If you want more alternative perspectives, especially about the East, South China Morning Post could be an interesting choice. IMO they do a decent job in presenting opinions from both sides (definitely nothing similar to the CCP propaganda newspapers).
Two years ago I made a video about 3 years of living in a camper van. As of next months it's actually gonna be 5 years.

https://optimizingforhappiness.com/3-years-of-living-in-a-ca...

My plan was to make a whole video series out of it, but just doing one video already took me so much time and with running and managing two companies[1][2] at the same time, I didn't feel that I wanted to spend more time in front of a computer editing videos. But maybe in the future I'll pick it up again and continue the series.

I always remember what Chomsky said about this: Business newspapers actually tend to be as true-to-reality and BS-free as possible, since they need to present information as accurately as possible for businesspeople to make the right decisions.

I'm not sure how programming is improved by constant social interaction. Distractions per research are a huge hit to productivity just because of how long it takes the brain to reach the same state again. If you're in PR or a job that is by nature social, then maybe it has its benefits, but for knowledge workers, there's plenty of research showing deep thought requires deep focus which isn't (generally) properly sustainable with a lot of external stimulus.

I have been a designer for 10+ years, when you ask me “which is more correct” I’d always go for the option where skip is also a blue button.

Good design is not just consistent patterns, but also clear communications. This is the design equivalent of fraudulent small print in a contract. This is saying to the user: you have two options, but one is rather silly, don’t go for it.

In that regard: weighting and sorting options by how often they are used is good design (because it reduces the communicative friction in everyday life).

Making the (from a privacy standpoint) better option seem like no real alternative option is increasing the friction for some and manipulating others into not choosing at all. Like a car that warns you about steering right while it praises you for steering left, although both should be equal options.

Bad design, because it is bad communication.
I am not a native speaker, but it is my understanding that amateur has 2 definitions: 1) unpaid, 2) incompetent or inept.

The Camras team is maintaining and operating the telescope on their own time. The members have dayjobs like programmers and scientists, or are retired professionals. So I'll go with the first definition.
There had been lot of theories but to every theory there had strong counterpoint found. For example, speech, language and math was considered unique to humans but several animals have been found to speak, have elaborate language and even do counting and addition. Then there was belief that animals can’t do counterfactuals, for example, making decisions based on simulating what-if scenarios but that also has been proven false. My take is that there is no fundamental lack of ability in animals but the fact that those abilities are a magnitude or two lower than humans and animal species tend to specialize on very specific abilities.

There is book written on this subject that argues that most fundamental human abilities not yet seen in animals is building nested scenario such as telling a fictional story and desire to share knowledge among each other:

I'll be in the minority then, but to me these are my best books.

The Power of Vulnerability by Brenè Brown and
Quiet by Susan Cain.

The first is not a real book since it's audio only, there is no written counterpart but it changed the way I see, connect, live in the world entirely. I _never_ found something along those lines.

While the second book, Quiet, although a little boring in some sides, made me accept my introversion (although I don't appear like an introvert).

If I had to pick only one then it would be the power of vulnerability, such a shame it hasn't a paper counterpart (you could read all brene brown books probably and get the same message, but that audio book is so great).

> The EU parliament is not the main legislative body in the EU. That would be the Commission. Furthermore the Council has roughly equal power to the Parliament.

> Both the Commission and the Council are nationally controlled by the individual member states rather than directly elected.

Of course it is still democracy because each national government is elected democratically. Accountability is somewhat lacking though.
I started playing with one of those sites recently. I advertise myself at my real rates and in my pitch I mention my relevant career background, include my CV and a link to LinkedIn where they can see all my recommendations and then end explaining how it's actually cheaper to hire me as I require way less time to deliver high quality projects, so they end up paying the same or less for a better job.

So far it worked once and the customer is so happy that has kept the contract opened for now to request more things, but I've been applying for just a couple of days.
It's a weird selection of a focus group though. And nothing warrants this headline (although it's par for the course in 2019).

I am in line with extremely corrosive (as you say harrasment, bullying etc.) or straight illegal subreddits to get banned.

The strange situation for most of us is that while doing the window dressing they left a spiked bat and a swastica flag in the corner and pushed the poop bucket in a closet instead of just getting rid of it. And then have to defend not getting rid of it when publicly asked by their users (the CEO himself gets involved in these back and forth with the community, so it’s not just them ignoring the problems)

It could be just some weird bit that has no impact on how the company works internaly. As you say, content policy has no direct relation with work environment.

But I can’t stop myself from thinking, would that same CEO abuse his position to get rid of unconveniences internaly ? How do they handle gender balance or diversity topics ?

Looking at Ellen Pao’s shitshow (and she did a ton of that “window dressing”), it’s difficult to imagine the internal state is that much better than the external one.
The crowd goes mild.
Of course it's related, hence the suggestion.
My girlfriend had brain surgery a few months ago. Afterwards she was unable to properly swallow for a few weeks.

At first they thought it was from the intubation but since it continued for several days they referred her to a speech therapist which is who handles this sort of thing. Her neurosurgeon gave her actively dangerous advice that both the nurses and speech therapist told her to ignore ("just chew the food more, then everything turns to oatmeal")

It turns out swallowing is really complicated. After neurological damage you get mobility back much more quickly than sensation and since swallowing is very sensation-intensive there was the real possibility that it may never go back to normal. I'm not a doctor so I'm probably getting some details wrong but there's a semi-voluntary component that kicks off the process, then the involuntary actions kick in. The involuntary bit is a delicate ballet of neighbouring semicircles in your throat contracting simultaneously, then one after the other. In her case, some of those semicircles were not firing or were firing at the wrong time, but only on one side. That made food that breaks into particles or is too thin get pushed around instead of down, so it would get stuck in her throat. If you inhale food particles this way, particularly with a weakened immune system, you're at risk for pneumonia so they take it very seriously

The food she could and couldn't have was pretty surprising. She could have shredded chicken, but not ground beef. She couldn't drink regular water, but could have jello (she could handle jello or augur both, though many people with dysphagia can't handle jello because it melts at body temperature and then runs down your throat). She had to have thickened water which I'd never heard of but was in every drug store I checked. She could have soups that were viscous enough, and vegetables that form fibrous strands when you chew them (like celery), as long as they didn't also form tiny leaves (like broccoli). She could have peanuts but not walnuts.

A good friend saw the weird puzzle of which foods she could have as a fun challenge and flew across the country to stay with us for a couple of weeks and experiment. We went through dozens of dishes a day, mostly in small quantity and then scaling it up if she didn't have trouble with it. I've never washed so many dishes in my life

She's fully recovered now but a challenge definitely helps you definitely learn to appreciate the little stuff :)

...but nobody said they shouldn't.
I don't get it. I thought the main appeal of functions were that they were stateless so you had immutability. We already have classes if we want state, so why is this an improvement? Functions have slightly less overhead maybe? But then why didn't the React team just work on making classes have less overhead? It seems sort of "extra".
More accurately, it is the English "sh" if you pronounced it with the middle of your tongue rather than the tip.
Never a boring day being a frontend developer. Looking forward to add hooks to my React project. The next frontier would probably be functional strongly typed languages, like Reason or some variation on Elm?

I’m personally in the market for an assistant, so when I came across Accelerate’s website I thought I would take a stab at finding an assistant using your services. So far I’ve interviewed one assistant. It was a pretty quick and painless process, but I’m still looking to interview more. What happens if the assistant I want isn’t available for as many hours as I need them to be? How quickly do the assistants on your website get hired?
A variation on Elm? Why not just Elm?
I'm finding it a bit hit and miss. I agree, the "shared myths" notion is very appealing. And I enjoy learning the facts that form the skeleton on which he pins his thinking. However, I can't help feeling that a professional thinker -- philosopher, whoever -- would debate his proposals. It seems to me that a collaboration with a second author would have leant robustness to his philosophy. As it stands, it comes across as an historian stepping outside of his expertise unchallenged. All well and good, but a bit flimsy.

I look forward to reading further books published in response by others.
I agree this topic is fastinating.

From that article,
"Since 1968, more Americans have died from gunfire than have died in all our wars put together. In 2014: 33,599.
Who's doing all the shooting and where are they getting all those guns and how many do they have and can't we get control over this clusterfuck? Wouldn't a national gun registry give us a tool to stop some of the killing?"

Consider that ~ 2/3 of those are suicide when interpreting the numbers and impact a searchable federal registry may have.

>That's been a federal law, thanks to the NRA, since 1986: No searchable database of America's gun owners.

I'm not a gun owner but the risk/reward of creating said digital registry is unclear to me. There was a newspaper (in NY I think) who published a list of registered gun owners names and addresses several years ago and it struck me as counter producitve.

All said and done I feel like it's made me look at and evaluate a lot more possibilities at all important junctions in my life (if not all junctions). It's helped me channelise my mind better to understand signals I care about in an otherwise extremely noisy world. It's also made me a stronger individual being able to do more for people and look at things sometimes as just a series of outcomes, and making everyday life and outcomes more tolerable for me emotionally as well.

From the article:

Why not SCTP-over-UDP

SCTP is a reliable transport protocol with streams, and for WebRTC there are even existing implementations using it over UDP.

This was not deemed good enough as a QUIC alternative due to several reasons, including:

SCTP does not fix the head-of-line-blocking problem for streams
SCTP requires the number of streams to be decided at connection setup
SCTP does not have a solid TLS/security story
SCTP has a 4-way handshake, QUIC offers 0-RTT
QUIC is a bytestream like TCP, SCTP is message-based
QUIC connections can migrate between IP addresses but SCTP cannot
