>3a has a headphone jack. Personally, I adjusted pretty well to Bluetooth headsets but some people really appreciate the jack.

I've been buying old Pixel OG phones. One had a broken screen after leaving it in my backpack hiking(and leaving rocks near it), another from water damage.

My wife got one with my recommendation.

4 OG pixels. Why? Fast + aux cable.

I can see myself upgrading to a 3a.
I agree, the ternary style is better for this sort of variable assignment situation. Usually if I am using the above pattern I am calling different functions as the result of the conditionals.
they only believe in free market as far as it benefits their corporate sponsors and private interests. As soon as it helps people that are not them (or look like them) they change their tune instantly.

They are hypocrites.
Elecom makes some good modern trackballs. I personally use the thumb style track balls. I was getting severe pain in my shoulder (Mouse Shoulder) from using standard mice. Going back to my beloved thumb trackball has save my shoulder.

There is a huge difference between head hunter solicitations and a job offer. Hilarious thread either way.
People are hinting that it is not strictly required to get what was initially desired done.

And that seems 100% true.

You do not have to do everything at one time. You can easily to one thing, and then right after that, literally right after, do another.

You could have gotten the proxy up and going, and then upgraded node.

It's not about "doing the minimum work" it's about understanding the problem space, what can be split up, and how to attack the surface area efficiently.

You're also introducing other problems that can occur by doing multiple things at the same time.

Generally speaking I advocate my developers to be really good at separating problem spaces and attacking accordingly. It's really hard to take on multiple issues at one time and actually have high confidence in not breaking many systems along the way.

The 670 is a far bigger downgrade than you indicate. Yes it's "only" 20% slower from a pure clock speed perspective, but performance is more like half.

It's also missing the IP68 certification - after having a waterproof-ish phone, I would never go back.
#1 is my privacy.
I don't trust anyone else with my privacy.

I can do some stuff like turn on AV receivers and program them to do something automatically, like switch to movie mode if I stay in the room for 2 minutes (just an example) for example because each of my power outlet has an IR transceiver. Though I don't use them much, they have a lot of utility. The reason I don't use them much now is I upgraded my receiver and now I need to re-program the IR transceiver with the commands from the AV unit's remote.

With Google cloud, you can write your own Siri-like interface, so you can talk to any power outlets you want, which is my next milestone. Stuff like this would normally require different vendors to operate together (Eg. Nest + SIRI + Homekit) but because this is my own platform, I can do whatever I want.
My Samsung Galaxy S5 from back in the day had all of those. Easy to root too.
The value of the trick is just in pushing access control outside the situation.

Border services generally have extensive but constrained powers - in the US, they're limited in how far from a border they can exercise authority. So they don't get to arrest the administrator directly, or go and confiscate an access key sitting in Edmonton. They can still demand that whoever is at the border arrange for unlocking, and can probably seize the device if they're refused. But the threat "we'll lock you up until you open the device" is potentially legal, while "we'll lock you up because as a hostage until somebody else opens this" has far less merit. (Obviously, none of this applies if you go someplace where actual hostage takings might happen.)

If the administrator says "I need physical access to unlock that" or "our firm's policy says I can only open devices once they're at one of our offices being used for billable hours", there's no one handy to apply the wrench to. At that point, confiscate-and-image is as much access as anyone can hope to get.
Sand from glacial melt could be Greenland's economic salvation
I think there's some studies that have found that THC may reduce REM sleep. So while you're sleeping more easily, you're getting less "restful" sleep than you would sober.
At least back to Gopher.
There was a discussion about this on the front page of HN literally a few hours ago:

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19847939
“Random PHP code” might be the operative phrase there.
Yes, but apparently it's very rare. You are much more likely to have some other issue to blame for your lack of sleep, rather than being genetically "gifted".
Thanks for the clarification, that makes good sense. Cheers.
And they do that exactly. The fix is to disable images by default but every user has to manually do this.
Sales tax is not included in the price, so if you buy the $399 phone, the sales tax is added on top of $399. The amount depends on state and city laws. Usually about 7.75%, so the $399 phone would cost about 430 total.
We don't have a VAT. Each state/city has its own "sales tax" rate, which is the closest equivalent, and those vary from 0% to more than 10%.

Apple thrives on exclusively. Not specs and features.

For them, charging more money is the next step, like it or not.

The only way for them to compete, is to not. You buy Apple products for Fashion, to prove you can afford it.

Or at least, that's what has worked for a decade. Features is not what Apple brings, they bring Fashion.
You won't be spending as much in their apps store. That's where the real profit margins are.
Investing in Art
Software prices have not done anything to help with this.

Entire operating systems are “free”. Software that takes tons of effort may be $.99 on an app store. We have been programming non-programmers to undervalue everything for those same 30 years.

Probably, software packages should never have fallen below $100. The minimum price on any app store should probably have been $10. Then we might see a valued industry.
Sales tax in the US is a local thing, some states have 0, some about 10%. Then cities or other local bodies can have a sales tax on top of that.

Maybe both companies guaranteed the same performance.

Am I wrong to think that not all is lost, all they need to do is change the bulb...and the major investments were the poles? Not trivial of course, but also not a total $180m loss
I don't see that, there is a healthy balance of positive and negative comments.
Thinking the same thing. I won't be buying another OG pixel if the 3a has the aux.
Do most mobile users encounter applications where processor speed is the limiting factor? Almost all smartphone usage in my experience is bottle necked by network IO. I don't really use my phone for gaming or anything intensive - I guess people expect their phones to run Fortnite these days so maybe processor speed is more important.
No universal sales tax, it varies by locale. Sometimes specific blocks or neighborhoods have different sales taxes than surrounding areas.

For rough reference, is not uncommon to see 7% sales tax. Sometimes higher in bigger cities.

I think this is a parse issue -- is this

> I asked them about [the non-functional requirements for this project] and they had to ask [please give me details on those requirements]

or is it

> I asked them about [non-functional requirements as a general concept] and they had to ask [what are these new things you speak of, I have never heard of such a thing]

?

The former is reasonable, the latter less so.
Here's his rationale: http://harrischris.com/article/biophillic-vision-experiment-...

"When the cars show up and contribute to the glitchy effect, it's the model not recognizing them well enough, as it's currently done frame by frame. There's lots of room for improvement by integrating knowledge of the prior frames, both to do object tracking making the detection of the vehicles more robust, and to learn about the nature of the scene without vehicles."
>He presents the splendid argument that, if it had a boundary, then all the falling atoms would collect at the bottom. From this, it is clear that Lucretius respected the intuitive idea that there are absolute directions of up and down. By itself, this makes a globular Earth unfeasible because, unless perched right on the top, we’d slip off the sides.

I disagree with the author's point here. It seems to me Lucretius uses a bounded object as an example for his claim that the universe must be unbounded. A bounded object inherently has ups and downs, there is no mention on which direction either correspond to. What other phrasing could he have used?

A lot of what the author states actually seem to be grasps at straws.
Just a few hours earlier, this discussion on Turing-complete stuff hit HN's front page:

Now I don't know if there's any causal relationship between the two (or the three) or if it's just a big coincidence, since it says on the README that the inspiration for it came from a Tweet posted a few days ago.
Hey!

Thanks for checking it out! The software can be used by multiple companies or product simultaneously so one license may be enough. Of course, multiple licenses can be purchased if that's necessary just so you know

For the live chat, there's a live working widget on the landing page (fullhelp.com), it's located at the bottom right corner. From there, you are able to initiate conversations and also browse the knowledge base site.

The software has a Restful API which is used for the dashboard. Dogfooding there also! haha

Edit: Also, thanks for the pricing suggestions, sounds like a good approach.
I looked through the datasheet, but couldn't figure out what "1KW" of program memory meant.
Unlike many of the comments here my experience at Apple stores has gotten a lot better recently. I’ve been in twice in the past month for some hardware fixes, and both experiences were great. I got an appoinemt the same day, service was fast and professional and I found there to be an excess of people wanting to help me. This was in San Francisco by the way so I can’t speak for other areas. Prior to this I found that appointments were booked more than a week out and there were long wait times even for when I showed up for said appointment. I love the Apple store and find it to be the best retail experience in the biz right now.

I don't know it's, given it is to support your point try to find it yourself.
my cynical side says there is more to this.

I think FB is a major threat to the distribution of news that is mostly owned and controlled by the mainstream media owners.

I think this is all part of forcing FB to come to the negotiation table, and negotiate banning more independent information sources to make these fines go away.
Except in this case, the person chose to do the role that they apparently didn't want to do?

I get the whole "team effort" thing, but at the end of the day, you have to be a little selfish about the work you take on. If you start mopping the floors, rather than building features, don't be surprised if you start getting evaluated as a janitor.*

* note, I'm not intending to make a point by comparing eng/PM/janitor jobs in any absolute value sense. Just that the author did a job that wasn't in her description, and is bothered by the fact that it mattered.

(for what little it matters, I generally do a ton of glue type roles... but am conscious about taking them on.)

Very Nice! Congrats on launching. I'm definitely checking this out soon for support in my freelance gigs.

I like the pricing model, I'm intending to do something similar with my next product. Selfhosted, pay once, use forever, optionally renew after 1 year for updates. I wish more software was like this. Only I'm also adding a SaaS option for people that don't want to bother with hosting.

You seem to have written the licensing/checkout/renewal yourself. How much time did you spend on it? I'm working on solving exactly this problem with my product and I would love to have a chat about your experience/problems regarding this.
It depends on your requirements. I don't need to constantly monitor what my voltage values are. I just want stuff to happen when I send a REST API call. So, I'm not too bothered about latency. I just need to know if there's an outage or overvoltage, or short circuit, etc..

I find this to be throwing around pretty shallow platitudes.
Winning/losing is not binary, it is a continuum. There are degrees of losing. If you lose hard enough, you will not be able to leverage it for a win later. And you might also ruin the lives of people around you, or people who depend on you.

Yes, there are valuable lessons to be learned in failure. But you have to balance that with not failing too hard or too often. At some point it starts working against you.

> * 3a only has one front facing camera instead of dual front cameras.

Can take a wag at characterizing how much of an impact this would have on normal, day to day picture taking?

My wife and I are still on Pixel 1s, and we still love the camera.

Am I safe to assume that the single camera (and associated hardware/software that Google provides) on the Pixel 3a will be substantially better than the camera on the Pixel 1?

Thanks!
> I have just been denied customer service in favor of the other customer, no?

Maybe. Perhaps they booked an appointment in advance instead of doing a walk-in and it had nothing to do with their clothing, or there are multiple queues for different types of service.
The price is nice, but what is the lifetime compared to something costlier. A S10+ cost almost twice as long, but if it lasts twice as long then it's a wash.

Though, Google still wins when it comes to updates. Even given that project treble would make the process easier, I doubt that Samsung will really take advantage of it.
Just say no to ORM.
Apart from the usual problems with impedance mismatch, there's one thing that is rarely talked about: Waste.

Most ORMs work like that: You get a request, you start a transaction, you begin instantiating lots of objects because you need those to do anything useful.

You then either serialize parts of that object tree into JSON or whatever, or you change a few objects, which then create UPSERT statements, the transaction commits (or not) and then...you are throwing it all away again!

You might save some state in some second level cache, but other than that, you just created a partially populated object graph, probably loaded way too much stuff, and then you do that AGAIN for the next transaction.

I've used JDO, Hibernate etc. before and nowadays it feels like extremely wasteful with limited productivity gains that quickly disappear if your objects become more complex.
Cleaning the ball was easy - cleaning the rollers inside often took scraping them off with a q-tip or something since the gunk would build up right where it tracked the mouse ball, a partial cleaning was worse than no cleaning at all since the mouse would skip.

I never had much luck with those velcro mouse cleaning kits, I'd still end up scraping the rollers.
Love the execution and the pricing model. We are a Laravel shop and this might be a good fit for us.

What team sizes do you think this will work best for?
You either need to upgrade from Node 6 or you don't.

That's nothing to do with adding a new feature, and should be planned accordingly. It's unfortunately very common for developers to hide maintenance tasks in other work, but clearly not ideal.
The set of all problems that can be solved by a Turing machine if there's an answer (possibly hanging if there's no answer) sits at the top of the complexity hierarchy (it's equivalent to the recursively enumerable languages)

The usual complexity classes of decision problems, such as P and NP, are subsets of what a Turing machine can solve, and so are weaker complexity classes.
> I bet your people think you're as crazy as my people think of me.

For one year, it was constant annoying discouragement. Then, once we had this party in my house and I showed it off to everyone and they finally realized its worth. To me, the privacy factor is alone worth doing this project.
There's also Sense, which monitors for the distinct waveforms of your big inductive loads— washer, fridge, A/C, etc. I don't have one yet, but my colleague who does absolutely swears by it. Allegedly you basically get whole-home monitoring with a single tap at the panel:

Have you used wireless charging long? I'm worried about the effect the extra heat has on the longevity of the phone's battery.
Well, you do have to launch those decoys,which takes fuel. If they're aircraft-carried, now the airplane has to carry decoys instead of/in addition to live missiles, so it's now less effective.

Once the missiles are launched, you need to navigate them actively towards the target at roughly the same flight profile as a real missle, otherwise why would the enemy bother engaging them? So they need guidance, which adds more cost and weight.

In the end, you'll end up with a "decoy" that has everything the real missile has except for a warhead, so why not just put a warhead on it?

At that point we're talking about just building more missiles, period.

"Anti-vaxxer" has a specific meaning. Considering that you are not an "Anti-vaxxer" I would urge you to take your self-righteousness and share it with someone who values it.

I'm not even going to go into your nonsense about mis-vaccinating or whether or not your analysis was even accurate. Follow the advice of your skilled pediatrician and the standards bodies they belong to. Good day, sir!
Thank you. It seems have nothing to do with speed of computation, difference in speed caused by formatting inside snprintf. If I'm right, it explains why integers are faster in your case and slower in the Black Book.
Well, after you correct for the facts that all the high numbers seem to have the same ability, different cultures are penalized differently by the tests, experience with the tests or even willingness to be tested bias the results a lot, and probably some 100 other large factors that I didn't hear about (because I never looked), it's a highly stable measurement.

I'm not sure what it measures, and I don't think anybody is. It is some real phenomenon, because success on some tasks have a high correlation to it (that disappears at high levels). It is also severely overrated by nearly everybody that talks about it.
While I have this book in front of me: "all sorts of people were telling me that I needed to put quotes on the back cover of the book [A New Kind of Science] ... Steve said, 'Isaac Newton didn't have back-cover quotes; why do you want them?'"
Not gonna lie, this made me tear up.
Actually "writing queries in some language other than SQL" which has static typing and catching issues in compile time is quite big for me. Add automatic database migrations that are also keeping types in line with code and whole bunch of "mess of mapping code" goes away. Though I use .NET EntityFramework which by now is really mature and heavily invested into by MS. Not sure how it is with other environments but I think I have it too easy.
I miss when they had a plastic removable back and battery - it would hit the ground and three pieces would go flying, but that's 3 different vectors for kinetic energy, instead of just one composed entirely of glass.
I've used (a) the Beddit touch-sensitive mat, (b) the Fitbit watch, and (c) the Oura ring. Beddit claimed I never slept more than 2 hours a night, which was something of an exaggeration. Fitbit was better, but I still caught it a couple of times claiming that I was asleep when I was actually lying awake reading for an hour. I've been using the Oura ring for maybe 6 months and I haven't caught it in any known mistakes so far; there was one weird thing where if you had multiple sleep periods separated by several hours, it'd show only one of them in the cloud view, but I've not hit that recently.

I would recommend the Oura ring with few reservations.
Perhaps you could elaborate on why you think they are not cool?
Targeted advertising is not the only or even main space in which global giants avoid taxes. So not sure why such a focus on FB and Google.
This is my preferred approach--a fluent, composable query builder API that uses pipes.

When I do data analysis with R, this is what I use--same concept: https://dbplyr.tidyverse.org/

The somewhat tricky part can be converting the tabular result set into a graph of objects, but I think it's better to handle this in your application code as needed, rather than delegate it to a library.

I know it's late, but I finally got around to trying ska::flat_hash_map. For my application (lots of insertions and deletions) it's not quite as fast as F14, but the difference is fairly small. It's also much easier to incorporate than folly, since the entire thing is in a single header file.
