I own more ARs than AKs, and I wasn't talking about DI. I agree with you that DI has more benefits than problems.

It's stuff like e.g. the interface between the receiver and the buffer tube, which is weak and known to break under stress. Or the telescoping stock design, which has a similar problem with the retaining pin - which is why they tell you to never mortar it unless fully collapsed.

There are some issues with the bolt longevity - in an AR, the bolt eventually fails with sheared locking lugs - which is unheard of in AK and not common in other designs. Part of it is due to asymmetric distribution of forces, because of the extractor taking the place of one lug. Modern bolt redesigns try to mitigate this in various ways.

Then there's the enclosed magwell, which is great for quick mag changes, but requires the upper part of the magazine to be straight - which caused troubles for 30-round AR mags historically, until the modern polymer magazine design with internal constant curvature made possible by the manufacturing process. In addition, the magwell is prone to dirt-induced malfunctions - once you get the dirt in, e.g. from the lips of a magazine that fell to the ground, it stays inside, and can block the mag from going all the way in easily. Ice can cause similar issues. The button magazine release can get stuck relatively easily as well. AK well-less paddle system, while slower, is less susceptible to dirt, and the rocking insertion motion and the paddle magazine release provide more leverage even if there is an obstruction.

Or we could look at the antiquated handguard design, which results in precious little rail space on the upper receiver, because the top rail on the handguard, even free-floated, is not as stable (and hence not used for magnifying optics usually, but red dots, lasers etc). Notice how the latest trends in military ARs have been monolithic upper receivers, like in New Zealand's MARS-L, or Canadian MMR?

Of course, you could easily make a rifle based on the Stoner action that has none of these problems - there are more exotic AR variants and accessories that solve one or the other, you'd just need to combine all those solutions. But I don't think it would count as an AR at that point. Even the monolithic upper is already a major difference that breaks compatibility in so many ways. I mean, we don't say that SIG 550 is an AK variant, even though it's also long stroke piston, and the BCG looks very similar to AK. There's more to a gun than its action.

I live in a part of my country with very dense public transportation and I can't imagine car ownership disappearing; even with a dense public transportation network, there's too many commutes that can't easily be done in public transportation.

You follow it up by elevating anecdote to analysis without the work required for real insight. The crack about at least on its face is just designed to offend.

Lithium-Ion batteries degrade even without use. So the battery wouldn't be as good as new anymore.

But a lot of factors affect battery degradation. State of charge is probably the easiest -- make sure that the battery is not full, and make sure they don't run empty either (check the charge every couple of months or so to make sure they don't get empty).

I'm not sure what charge percentage and temperature is best for storing, but around 50% to 70% and a cool, but not freezing room is probably a good idea. I'd assume that the fridge is too cold, but I don't have any data to back that up.

I went from an SE to a Samsung S10e last week. Android certainly takes a while to get used to and configure the way I want, but I'm starting to like it more and more. Specifically, I can use this phone one-handed for everything I want on the go, without requiring any accessibility mode. Samsung and app developers seem to have improved a lot in making the important things accessible from the lower two thirds of the screen. With that in mind, having all that screen space, battery life and performance while not loosing any of the SEs features (headphone jack), has really convinced me that this is the way to go. Plus, I get dual sim and SD card support should I need it.
Oil firms could gain a lot from climate change policies if they could be morphed into a worldwide cap and trade scheme... They could sit back and not extract oil, while making more money than they would have if they were extracting oil.

Replica Hermes and Celine Online Store
Because in the "Third World" countries, PayPal may and sometimes is the only way to get foreign payments OR it's the only supported integration in many SAAS and apps. Many WordPress integrations has Stripe and PayPal as the only options. I'd love to pay less than 5% but in a cruel world I'd also rather pay 5% and get global income than to settle for less and no global option.

For instance here in South Africa, Stripe is not supported. As much as I would love to rather use Stripe it's just not an option for me unless I incorporated my business in the US with Atlas, which brings other headaches.

As CyberFonic has mentioned, building relationships with banks and credit card providers is a big undertaking. Which is probably why companies like Stripe opted for an Atlas-powered alternative for unsupported countries.
The only ARM based laptops that I know of are all ChromeBooks. Have a look at officeworks.com.au. But I don't know if any of them will allow you to install BSD over them. I have used Crouton on a Samsung ChromeBook and it is sorta Ok, but that is now a rather out of date laptop.

You're probably right. I've thought about that in the back of my mind, but just like how some people's hands rest on the 15" Macbook pro, I figured Apple would implement accidental touch software. And I've never extensively used a bezel-less phone (current still on the SE).

At the end of the day, if accidental touches can be taken care of, you'll get a phone that's more aesthetically pleasing and more screen real estate to do whatever.

>> Use blind accessibility tools with your website. If you're on iOS/macOS enable VoiceOver, figure out how it works, close your eyes and use your website.

> I doubt this is going to be very effective.

You are wrong. The only way for a primarily sighted team to build accessible software is to test and iterate on accessibility as part of day-in, day-out development practices. Think of it the same as localization for RTL languages or cross-browser testing: you should test in each environment you support before merging a change. Training and user-testing with blind community are important, but it doesn’t take a native Arabic speaker to notice broken layout in Arabic, nor does it take an Android device owner to notice usability problems in Android Chrome.

The best front-end engineers I know all have a VoiceOver hotkey on their dev machines and phones, and I regularly see them testing sites they visit for keyboard navigation, focus management, and VoiceOver usability.
> The form factor inherently makes it less expensive to manufacture. Bigger screens cost more etc. Which creates a pricing problem for them.

In this perspective it's interesting how their current "lower tier" phone, the Xr, is priced lower than the Xs for instance, but got the bigger screen and better battery.

It gives them an opening for marketing smaller phones as more niche models with eventually more engineering going towards keeping it small with the same or better specs than the bigger phones.

For something as fundamental as keyboard, I don't see how they got it wrong. Already the 2014/2015 rMBP keyboards had less travel but still it is good enough. The newer models are so bad that I find them only slightly better than typing on a touchscreen display of a tablet. I don't understand how they even got it to production. Surely, they would have asked developers internally about experience on the keyboard for extended time.

Thinkpad X1 carbon probably has the best keyboard in that slim form-factor but sadly despite Ubuntu certifying the hardware, I ran into battery issues. Also, support for Ubuntu in general by other apps leaves a lot to be desired still.
> About the only way it would make sense is to make it a premium product.

What’s the problem with that?

In my mind that’s exactly what the iPhone SE is: a premium phone in a small form factor.

That’s exactly what I want. That’s literally the only thing I want in my next phone.

Nothing Apple currently offers interests me at all. Every option they have, even the “small” options, are way too big.

Some people seem to mistake the iPhone SE as some sort of cheap option for those who can’t afford a “real” iPhone (thinking about market segments as opposed to use-case), but that’s absolutely ass backwards.

We want the best, and we want it comfortably in our hand.

It's lower yes, but still pretty high. Apple sells about twice as many iPads as they do Macs. In fact they sell more iPads than any individual manufacturer sells laptops.

I see it more from the point of view of it giving extra attention to stuff you didn't learn the first go.

For example some language learning apps already do this, they will show you phrases you have learnt before and if you get them wrong it will show them more often, if you get it right, it will show it less as it knows you know.

This is a Unix thing, on Unix lines in text files are terminated and the terminator is supposed to always be there to mark the end of the line, as opposed to Windows where they are separated and a separator at the end of the file means that the text has an empty line at the end.

This is also why tools that have a Unix heritage tend to complain if there is no terminator/separator at the end of the file (even in Windows), like most C compilers.
There's an old fairy tale about a table that covers itself with food whenever you say some magic words. It's a relic from a time when starvation was a real problem for much of the population, and feasting was a real boon.

In 2019, we've solved the food problem, at least in the developed world, mostly. If you need food in a hurry you don't need a magic table - you need a diner, or a restaurant, or a fast food place, or some wrapped sandwiches.

Dyson Spheres are a Steampunk version of the fairy tale, a relic of an energy-poor and slightly overcrowded culture. OMG all that energy! All that space! You could use it for computing! Or... something else!

In reality by the time we got to the point where building a Dyson Swarm was a realistic possibility, we'd most likely have moved far beyond needing one, or having any interest in needing one.

I don't believe (from what we know currently) that there's any mechanism for the brain to change our genetics, but hey, we may find out someday that it does something like that.

Even if not, I'd be completely unsurprised to find out that some of the "random mistakes" or "junk DNA" that we have floating around in our bodies actually reacts in some obscure way to different environmental influences to tweak our gene expression and whatnot.

Not really relevant, but too much of a fun fact for me not to share: the partner's name is "DeVries", which I'm guessing has a Dutch origin, and literally translates to "TheFreeze".

> On the chrome bore, there are a lot of guns that intentionally don’t chrome or melonite/nitrocarborize, but it’s typically precision guns.

Yep, but we're talking extreme precision at that point, the kind that is rarely needed for military firearms. So, like, .338 LM bolt action rifles for extreme ranges, maybe? I know that e.g. M82 is chrome-lined, as are most DMRs.

For civilian guns, it used to be very common to skimp on chrome for cheap ARs. In the past few years, nitriding got cheap enough that it is more common than nothing even in the lowest market segment, but even so there are other hold-outs like Ruger (AR-556) and Del-Ton that still do neither.

For me, not really. If I want to use type annotation, I need to write the types somewhere in order to communicate it to future readers.

I would much rather do it via Typescripts annotations than JSDocs.

It's not clutter as it was deemed necessary by the writer (me).

If I don't want to use type annotations, I simply don't add them and Typescript does not force you to do so unless you tell it to.

So, a neural network of a neural network is just a deeper neural network. The big question in dendritic processing is whether it is used (conflicting information about that, e.g. Jia&Konnerth's work), whether it represents anything, and how it is learned. Plasticity is all over the place in neurons and takes place also at the dendritic level with cooperation & competition between synapses, temporal dynamics and neuromodulation. The credit assignment problem is hard to solve at the circuit/population level, but dendrites offer an intriguing alternative, as it is possible for them to bidirectionally communicate with the spike initiation site.
