I have a baby who likes to wake up at 6AM, so don't really have luxury to work on side projects every night.

Wife and I like to watch some TV before going to bed. Sure I could do a bit of programming during this time but got to prioritize relationships over hobbies/projects. Usually we are watching a new show but after that we will play The Office because we have seen it enough that we don't really pay attention to it. It is kind of nice to fall sleep with some background TV noise. Like white noise machine in baby's room.

Also it might be strange but I find it easier to fall sleep to TV than complete silence.
It doesn't seem difficult to add a small forklift as "arms" to support the bottom after it has been lifted up a little. Even a person would have to get the box up an inch before supporting the bottom.
Alright, I'll bite.

Hypothetical situation: a company has a large and complex Ruby on Rails application that is its primary revenue stream. All of its employees are well-versed in RoR. The operations team consistently reports performance to be within acceptable ranges, and customers are happy with the product.

This scenario is common. Just replace "Ruby on Rails" with any other language/framework.

Staying with the existing ecosystem is the ideal choice for the business, rather than rewriting everything in Go.
I got rid of it because of the spammy notifications. The native file manager from Oreo is good enough for basic operations now.

Maybe, but it'd be statistically less safe than flying on a different model of aircraft, such as one from Airbus.

I'm totally shocked that a wacky theory proponent (complete with zany acronym!) would link an article talking about iron deficiency to promote their wacky theory that excess iron causes a psychosis like state.

So does this mean that file-manager apps will no longer be usable? Because that's a serious DO NOT WANT. I need access to my filesystem on my device.

Doing stuff like this is a promise that their less-power-user-y tools will do everything seamlessly, a promise they have repeatedly failed to deliver on. Getting Google Music to play nice with a my SD card was a nightmare until I gave up and just copied files over the network onto it directly and told it "search this folder".
I don't have any serious comment, but love "gitaly" as a project name.

For sure, it can definitely be described as "quirky". My initial reaction was much the same as yours.

That said, once I tried copying/moving files around, I was sold on the 2-column layout. I recently got a new phone, which meant moving my custom ringtones and notification sounds to their correct locations. With Google Drive I downloaded them, then using X-Plore I moved them to the ~/Notifications and ~/Ringtones folders. That was fairly easy to do - you find the destination in the right hand column, then swipe back to the left column, select the files for moving, then choose copy/move.

It's kind of like the column mode in Finder on OS X, which I really wish I had on Windows 10.
A lot of great products beloved by a lot of people fail in the market despite their quality for all kinds of reasons.

In this case, the lateness of the product, the continual burning of their phone platforms, anticompetitive behavior of Google and some of its associated companies, carrier disinterest, and a lackluster marketing campaign are among the reasons it failed.

I doubt you will find many people who tried or used the phone who didn’t like it.
>one nit pick, what does "server-side rendering", and even "client-side rendering", even mean? The browser renders HTML, it's always client side and it's always outside of the scope of application code.

This is an excellent point. Both HTML and JSON are string representations of data structures. Both are eventually transformed and converted to DOM.
> If you don't have page-specific (or any, if you can) code on the client side, this stops being a problem in the first place.

Sure and that's a valid use case for server rendering. Though even in that situation having a typed mechanism for going from a model and view to HTML wins out over untyped templates that operate primarily on string replacement. You have the same problem server side when "first_name" in your model is renamed to "display_name".

Unless you have tests that lead to rendering every possible if/else branch in your rendering logic, you're not going to realize that you forgot to update your view template until that situation happens in production. The more complicated your views, the more likely you'll run into this situation.

> It's funny how SPA fans here claim both good separation of concerns via web services and code/type sharing as features while in practice those things are mutually exclusive.

I'm not sold on SPA either but for any application that involves an active client that makes it's own requests and maintains state, you end up needing some form of documentation for those interactions. It's not a panacea but well defined interfaces shared between the server and client solve a big part of that.

The original paper is available on PsyArxiv: https://psyarxiv.com/8fpjn/

Abstract:

The words that people use have been found to reflect stable psychological traits, but less is known about the extent to which everyday fluctuations in spoken language reflect transient psychological states. We explored within-person associations between spoken words and self- reported state emotion among 185 participants who wore the Electronically Activated Recorder (EAR; an unobtrusive audio recording device) and completed experience sampling reports of their positive and negative emotions four times per day for seven days (1,579 observations). We examined language using the Linguistic Inquiry and Word Count program (LIWC; theoretically created dictionaries) and open-vocabulary themes (clusters of data-driven semantically-related words). Although some studies give the impression that LIWC’s positive and negative emotion dictionaries can be used as indicators of emotion experience, we found that when computed on spoken language, LIWC emotion scores were not significantly associated with self-reports of state emotion experience. Exploration of other categories of language variables suggests a number of hypotheses about substantive everyday correlates of momentary positive and negative emotion that can be tested in future studies. These findings (1) suggest that LIWC positive and negative emotion dictionaries may not capture self-reported subjective emotion experience when applied to everyday speech, (2) emphasize the importance of establishing the validity of language-based measures within one’s target domain, (3) demonstrate the potential for developing new hypotheses about personality processes from the open-ended words that occur in everyday speech, and (4) extend perspectives on intra-individual variability to the domain of spoken language.
The "boisterous democracy" in Ukraine is presently stage managed by the US. For the love of god, Nuland-Kagan was caught by Russian spooks picking who was going to run what, like an imperial gauleiter. Yes, the white shirt bros in the West (who I deeply sympathize with, speaking of deep sympathies) acted as cannon fodder for our little project, but that doesn't mean its some spontaneous anything; it's a bloody imperial project, just like the attempts to remove Maduro in Venezuela. FWIIW I have business interests in Ukraine and know some of these people. It's a US satrapy from top to bottom.

I don't think the Russians are innocent snowflakes, and I'd sure as hell rather live in the US than Russia, but it's super obvious what their grievances are, and that the US continuing to push NATO closer and closer to Moscow, and our various ham handed attempts to influence their political system is hugely dangerous.
Well considering that Android doesn't include a respectable file-browser built-in and so you have to do that through apps, that functionally means user access too.

Something I don't think people appreciate is how slowly things move on mars in general. Curiosity, a huge success, has moved a total of 20.38 kilometers as of two days ago. That's after 2359 martian days.

You are incorrect. The ECJ confirmed on 10 Dec 2018 that unilateral revocation is possible. Indeed the exact title of the press release from the ECJ after the judgement was "The United Kingdom is free to revoke unilaterally the notification of its intention to withdraw from the EU".
An autonomous station in Antarctica or maybe the Atacama desert would probably be pretty realistic.
> What utter garbage

This opening, along with your straw man in the second sentence, shows that you're not debating this topic in good faith.

It would be nice to think that every horrific event in history was simply a case of bad people knowingly doing bad things.

Sure, sometimes it is, when we're talking about a lone actor or despotic leader who just wants to bring about destruction and misery for their own pathological reasons.

But at least as often, everyone thinks they're the good ones fighting for a just cause. As has often been said here before, one person's terrorist is another's freedom fighter. One person's liberating saviour is another's tyrannical occupying force.

It might be easy for us to look at 1930s-40s Europe and judge which side was right and which was wrong, but to an ordinary German or Italian citizen or soldier who didn't have a full understanding of what was going on, and just knew that their country had been economically depressed for too long, it wasn't so clear.

And in plenty of other major conflicts since then, the rightness or wrongness of each side is very hard to discern.

This is not suggesting that racism or bigotry is ever to be endorsed or validated.

But bigotry is usually an expression of a deeper distress that has nothing to do with the target of the bigotry. It's often just scapegoating for a largely unrelated problem.

By paying attention to what the real source of that distress is (e.g., post-WW1 misery), it's possible to respond to the real problem and prevent the bigotry and consequent horrors from developing at all.

I mean, yeah, there should be a real person in the loop. But the issues are arising from when these types of tools aren't being used properly.

It's not a problem when a professor is checking mid-terms from an upper-division class of 30. It is a problem when a grad-student with too little time is grading finals for a freshman class of 500.

Sure, the purveyors of these tools can say: "Use this thing properly! If you don't, bad things will happen." But time and time again, bad things keep happening when people don't use the tool right. After some amount of incidents, the purveyors of the tools should just re-design the dang thing [0] such that it's harder to use it wrong.

[0] Provided that the people that make the tool have any sense of morality and put human learning above dollars.
A nationalist is someone who holds the well-being of their nation as a high-priority thing. This does not necessarily make a nationalist an enemy of other nations: nationalists are usually preoccupied with the well-being of their own nation, and just want other nations peacefully mind their business.

This is how a nationalist can strongly oppose a nation's current government, when the government is not caring for the nation's prosperity (in the nationalist's eyes).

Most liberation movements across the world were and are openly nationalist.

This is the type of thing to which I was referring. A server interface is updated to return a different data type or renamed, the client shares the same interface, type checking for TSX (TypeScript JSX) catches the name or type of the property is invalid, and you can immediately fix it.

No more grepping an entire codebase to see all the places that something is referenced and praying that you updated all of them. (And praying that you updated them correctly!)

I have never once in my career felt like I was held back by not having a car. The only occasion where driving was more convenient was during rare business trips where and we'd simply get a rental car.

If you're a white collar worker in NYC or SF, you're more likely than not not to own a car, or if you do, to use it almost exclusively for personal reasons and not for work reasons.

"simply looking at the ball. This, however, was not the case: Although they looked at the ball once it had been thrown in the air, they spent a lot of time looking at my face, particularly before the ball reached the top of the screen."

I wonder if self driving car tech thinks about this kind of thing. How often, for example, at intersections, we look at the faces of other drivers and pedestrians for context.

It's interesting to me both as data for the self driving car, and the obvious lack of data for human drivers looking at a self driving car.
It seems like every week brings an ever-quickening deluge of this kind of information, whether about some surveillance corporation lying to / exploiting its users or an oppressive government edging ever closer toward a full-on 1984 nightmare scenario (some are just about there).

At this point the decision tree facing privacy activists, those concerned with human rights, and those who support the expansion of western moral aspirations is unambiguous.

Do you dislike Google fucking up the internet and assisting with totalitarian censorship regimes? Stop using their services. Stop letting them pay you to improve their services. If you're good enough to work at Google, you're uniquely positioned to get another high-paying job somewhere else. Same with the other big offenders.

Do you dislike FaceBook's scummy behavior on everything from censorship, to digital stalking of non-users, to psychological experimentation with unwitting human subjects? Stop adding fuel to the fire. Quit. Today. Now.

Are you uncomfortable with China's aggressive censorship, human rights abuses, and surveillance? Stop buying shit from them. Stop using their software. Nine times out of ten you don't need it.

Exceptions arise, and no one's behavior is perfect. But the 1/10 case where you absolutely MUST use a certain surveillance app or buy a certain widget made by slaves in another country is not an excuse for throwing your hands up and capitulating in the other nine cases you encounter every day.

If you don't give Termux the "storage" permission, then this is exactly how it works now.

> Signal storage directory

Signal stores its data in its private app directory, which is not exposed to either any other apps, even if you give them the "storage" permission, or to the user via MTP. The only exception is the optional back-up, which is stored (encrypted!) in the public app directory (accessible to MTP and apps having the "storage" permission), so that you can copy it to your next phone. (AFAIK Signal on iOS doesn't give you this option...).

> email client config directory

K-9 mail also stores its data in its private app directory.

OTOH files that are not super-private, like books, audiobooks, music, maps or flashcards can be stored where they're easily accessible, manageable and processable by multiple applications (but even then, only applications that I grant the requisite permission).

Way back when the iPhone came out, I dreamed that it would turn in to an extension of one of Jobs' ideas for NeXT (in the original form, optical drives) - your home directory lives in your pocket, and plugs in to whatever machine you're in front of.

Never happened, and instead we got 19 flavors of "cloud sync", which doesn't solve the problem and has nasty security implications.

It certainly feels like the world is closing in--we have China openly and profligately performing massive censorship, spying, and political repression on nearly two billion people without a wimper of protest from the West.

We have clear censorship in the West--New Zealand blocking that video and prosecuting people for watching it. Not sure what to make of that except yeah, that's probably bad for us long term.

We have the Australian spy agencies forcing their way into encrypted platforms which has worldwide implications because any firm doing business in Oz is now forced to install backdoors and give up encryption keys, making us all less safe online.

I can't even write about all the other examples. But allow me to summarize: The US is falling apart--the southern border is being pruposefully overwhelmed and as soon as those millions of people can become voters, it's all over for the Land of the Free.

We're being bum-rushed by an agenda.

They (endgaget) were treating that test as the first and last proof. In reality, that project has been full-speed-ahead with flight tests for a while.

The difference is more like that this is the first untethered, full-flight-system, full-environment test. The data from which is compared to the huge batch previous tests with partial systems, w/ and w/o gravity offloads, etc etc.

Logging a lot of flight time with the actual hardware is a really bad idea, sort of like "testing in production."

If you don't use it, you lose it. Spaced repetition is "using it", even if only artificially. If you want to completely avoid spaced repetition you are going to have to find some other way to consistently use whatever you have learned, which arguably might end up being more strenuous than using a spaced repetition system like Anki because these try to figure out the minimum frequency of repetition you require to retain some piece of knowledge. And they're not bad at it. The intervals between which you see a specific card usually grow to a couple months quickly.

However, relearning something takes very little time compared to learning it from scratch, so unless you need to relearn things very often it might not even be worth worrying about much.
Soviet Union never was on defensive side. From the very beginning they've tried to conquer most of their neighbors, they've attacked Poland together with Hitler and Finland in 1940.

Even in 1945 they've tried to annex part of Persia and wrestle Bosfor Straight control from Turkey.
>Eh, it's become acceptable, sure. It's the age old prescriptivist vs descriptivist debate. That same Merriam Webster link you posted also includes, e.g., a definition of "literally" as "figuratively" and our friend "in actuality".

The Oxford dictionary sported the secondary definition of the literally since 1903 -- the use is much older. After over a century of common use and lexicographic registration, I don't think it fits into the prescriptivist vs descriptivist debate anymore (that would hold for more modern mistakes, not century-old established language -- do those people also argue that "awesome" e.g. is something that inspires dread, as per the original meaning of awe?).
I use syncthing to sync files from several folders of my phone (internal app storage) to folders on my laptop (usually as a backup) and viceversa (usually because it's easier to download some files on my laptop, think about GPX tracks). This means that I need synchthing to access all those folders.

I also use an open source file manager app to access files on both internal and external storage. I need it to access all of it.

I understand I'm not the typical Google user as I'm logged in only in Google Play and Google Drive, which I use for work and not for backing up stuff. However if they turn Android into iOS maybe I could finally buy an iPhone SE when the last small factor Android phone dies. Not really, because that would leave me with a much more closed down environment. Alternatives? Maybe a Linux phone if there will be something around, but I'll have to keep using an Android anyway, so going around with two phones, which is worse.

What Google should do is give an option to lift all walls between applications (or root the phone). Void warranty and the likes, it's fine for me. I'm replacing all closed source apps from untrusted parties with open source ones anyway.
