Thanks for posting this, I hadn't heard about the PinePhone at all. Very interesting price point ($149 for the 2GB version)!

I just hope they can get the UI smooth and responsive. All UIs of Linux phones I've used in the past (Ubuntu Touch, OpenMoko) had a laggy UI which made them unpleasant to use even if you disregard all the other usability issues. And it wasn't the hardware's fault. The same phone wasn't slow when using Android instead of Ubuntu Touch.

I'd rather have a more bland yet snappy UI than a lot of eye candy.
> We are the only animals in the animal kingdom that cooperate across genetic boundaries. Most animals don’t even cooperate. But when they do, they cooperate only in packs where they co-evolve together, and they share blood, so they have some shared interests.

Pretty certain that lots of animals co-operate. Dogs and Cats are two examples. Dogs will "take care" of your babies. (not changing diapers but primitive protection).

I thought humans used horses but it is more complicated than that when I visited a farmer. He does have a genuine relation with his horses and without co-operation the horse will throw you out of his back.

Still he is comparing different species to different races of the same specie. Not quite a fair game.
Another potential advantage of fuel cell cars is a lower purchase price. Toyota thinks FCEVs might become cheaper to buy than even ICE cars:

I use emacs + auctex to edit and compile my latex. Then just run git manually on my Tex and pdf files.

I think you could use just about any latex editor you want and have this workflow work for you.
Thanks, I was just about to comment something along those lines. It is relatively easy to get back into society if all you need to do is stop declining offers. It is a completely different game if offers happen very rarely. In my case, I've got yet another challenge: I have a disability. And people tend to treat you like sfrm another star. It is really quite a challenge to stay connected if society treats you like an outcast.
The NetHack community is pretty much centered around IRC. After the demise of Usenet, much of the discussions shifted to the Freenode IRC networks with https://nethackwiki.com/ being the place for dumping less fleeting information.

There are various channels for NetHack variants and for the different public servers that offer online play. Most discussions happen on the public server du jour channel, currently this would be #nethack-hardfought.

Lately, there has opened up a connection to the roguelikes Discord server (https://discord.gg/vg9WWf2) with two-way bridges from Discord to IRC and back.

Put me into the "they should move to Discord" crowd.

The hardest part of using their (really good) services was having to use IRC. If they'd used Discord, I'd hop into a server effortlessly. Instead, I had to navigate the byzantine vagaries of terrible UX while running out of oxygen. D:

Yep, I recently worked on an engineering project, where GAs were used to evolve new designs for large steel structures, with the aim of reducing weight (and, ergo, cost).

There were a lot of constraints, and several applications were used at different points (e.g. specialised 3D CAD) - a single generation took around 1 hour, so we had to let it run for days at a time on a cluster to be useful.

> in the educational sense, the networking sense, and the passing on of class-appropriate behaviours sense - hugely improves the odds of success.

That's fair. I agree on this point. The network at an Ivy League can open doors for you that a state school could never open for you.

But I disagree on one point. It comes down to ambition. It's almost like a fire within your soul. If you have that fire kindled within you, it won't matter where you started from.

I have seen miracles in my life. A man with no arms and legs going around with a motorized wheelchair, using his chin to control acceleration/deceleration. When I saw this man, I realized that I was holding my self back. Anything is possible. If that man who had no limbs could walk, I had no excuses to give anymore.
I'm hearing about the Hungarian notation story for the first time. Just makes it more evident that it's Nick Szabo.
People forget that most apps start off as a dozen lines to solve someone's individual problem.

Qt is nice. GTK is... ok. But to get a cross-platform build with either of them requires a couple of hours' fiddling around. The later you wait to go cross-platform, the more platform-specific assumptions creep into your code and the longer it'll take. But no-one wants to spend that couple of hours fiddling around right at the start of their project, when it's just a dozen lines to fix their own problem.

With electron you write that dozen line helper utility and you're automatically cross-platform from day 1. And not just in the kind of theoretical way you get with say PyQt where your application could be made to build on another platform if you spent a couple of hours fiddling with the build; the alternate-platform binaries are just there. That's powerful.
A lot of the time there are better solutions that a GA, but something I've always liked about them is how easy they are to understand, even for AI noobs.

I guess it's because of the similarities to the evolution of life, but also because they're just quite simple.
I agree, these numbers seem low.
Roughly, here I meant far enough away for the metric expansion of space to generate significant observables. If the cosmological redshift is not evident, then the pair of events are not "mutually distant" enough.

In the "mutually distant enough" case, if the expansion is similar to that measured in our universe, then a RADAR pulse sent out by object A to object B would not return to object A before, say, about half of a sample of iron-60 at A had undergone beta decay (half-life 2.6 million years), all assuming that A and B are both moving slowly compared to the speed of light. The returning pulse will be at a significantly longer wavelength than the outgoing pulse. By contrast, a RADAR pulse that returns before half of a sample of carbon-11 has decayed by positron emission (half-life about 20 minutes), the returning pulse will be at pretty much exactly the same wavelength as the outgoing pulse. Here object A and object B move very slowly compared to the speed of light: the redshift is cosmological rather than special-relativistic.

It works for neutrinos too, which have the advantage of always moving slower than the speed of light due to their small but nonzero invariant mass. In SI units, neutrino wavelengths vary from tiny fractions of a meter to several metres. We can measure these to an extent by looking for radiation from nuclear recoil reactions: shorter-wavelength means higher momentum and thus more and stronger recoil reactions. The less famous counterpart to the cosmic microwave background -- the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cosmic_neutrino_background -- is practically undetectable in this way.

I say advantage because lightlike intervals are always zero by definition (that's why they're also called "null" intervals), so one has to use an affine parametrization of the interval to or otherwise fix coordinates and units to compare how far apart in spacetime events connected by RADAR signals are. The intervals of events connected by neutrino beams ("nadar?") are timelike, and so we can more straightforwardly consider the contribution of the cosmological constant to the (nonzero) magnitude of the interval \Delta s^2. But neutrinos are still ultra-relativistic -- simultaneously emitted neutrinos and photons (say, from extragalactic supernovae) are detected practically simultaneously by instruments on and around Earth. (In practice, such simultaneously-emitted neutrinos can win races to our detectors because the universe is generally more transparent to them than to the photons emitted from the same event: the relative opacity slows down the latter).
Besides the completely valid GNU link, the important bits are:

- the cloud is just a bunch of computers, managed by someone. either you (on-premise private cloud) or by someone else as a SaaS

- building, operating, managing, administering, maintaining a cloud is hard (look at the OpenStack project, it's a "success", but very much a non-competitor, because you still need skilled IT labor, there's no real one-size-fits all, so you need to basically maintain your own fork/setup and components - see eg what Rackspace does)

- it's a big security, scalability and stability problem thrown under the bus of economics (multi-tenant environments are hard to price, hard to secure and hard to scale; shared resources like network bandwidth and storage operations-per-sec make no sense to dedicate, because then you need dedicated resources not shared - which is of course just allocated from a bigger shared pool, but then you have to manage the competing allocations)

Hypothesis uses the same type annotations as Python's optional typechecker as a tool to select appropriate input data generators without additional test-specific description. That's a fairly common feature of property-based testing tools; I don't know for sure, but I wouldn't be surprised to find that hypothesis and mypy tend to be used in the same segments of the Python community.
Of course you're right. Nevertheless I think it's healthy to pursue interests that don't necessarily involve your partner and, perhaps more importantly, not to neglect other friends - otherwise a potentially failing relationship might feel like losing everything, because it actually is.
The only program that seems to be doing rather well seems to be Visual Code. It's fast and responsive, and one of the main advantages of it using Electron is that it got a fully cross-platform plugin system almost for free. Given the importance of that application in my daily work, I don't mind it using a few hundred MB ram. I have other critical tools running that consume way more than that.

But that's about the only electron app I really like to use that I use on a daily basis. Many of the other things like slack, discord, spotify, ... are more of a nuisance, and are more 'background' applications for me. Justifying blowing a Gb or 2 of ram on these is hard. I currently already use Franz (also electron) to replace all the "chat" applications, which is tolerable given that it replaces a few things, but still not a huge fan.

I did not suggest becoming vegetarian. I would have suggested suicide way before I suggested vegetarianism.

Crystals are repeating arrangements of atoms bonded in a very particular, repeating way. Modern techniques include looking at the crystal with x-rays, so any serious discrepancies in the patterns would be noticed.

The contamination, they concluded, was not structural (e.g. as a silicon semiconductor might have random atoms replaced with phosphorus or boron) but rather even more minute amounts of acid could act as a catalyst - i.e. an extra component of a reaction that participates, but doesn't actually get consumed - hence can make a difference in tiny amounts. A decent way to think of catalysts is as chemistry's matchmakers - they help reactions happen; sometimes those would happen on their own but take more time, or sometimes they wouldn't happen at all (e.g. if there's not enough energy to react without the shortcut of the catalyst).

Hope that makes some sense.
Such a hack of an article...
I love sales, especially when the product isn't what they are looking for. I will never try to sell someone something they don't need but I will find out what they do need and how to help them get it. Even if it isn't what I have to sell.

At the end of the day, it's about the experience.
Being a beancount user along with fava and also ledger-cli for managing accounts. The solution to your issue is simple, account Expenses:Grocery will record all the transactions related to grocery. In journal entry there is a field for payee where you can record counterparty and on top of that each entry can have multiple tags. You can tag them and then generate report based on those tags. So you can have a simple accounting report where all the Expenses:Grocery involving a specific tag or a counter party. Fava and beancount query makes it very easy to generate. You can check this mailing list thread for narration and payee in entries.

I think the key is how social networks are used. You notably met your spouse online, which means at some point things presumably transitioned to an offline relationship which can't be terminated just by hitting a block button. Online networks can be great ways to meet new people, but there's ample evidence which suggests that having a purely digital social life is bad for mental health.

If we look at Tinder, there was a study of millennial users a while back which found that about 70% of them had never met anyone through it and didn't intend to. Moreover Tinder has economic incentives to keep you on their platform, swiping, texting, paying subscription fees, and viewing ads, all things you stop doing when you meet people and enter into a committed relationship.

Most social networks unfortunately follow this model; they have monetary incentives to keep you as engaged as possible in their all digital, all the time lifestyle, rather than unplugging and physically sharing space with other humans.

Healthier business models can certainly be imagined and maybe they'll even be implemented someday, but they aren't prevalent right now.

Pretty certain that lots of animals co-operate.

Oh yes, lots. Here are some really interesting ones betweens species.

https://listverse.com/2015/02/23/10-amazing-cooperations-bet...

There are many more.

As for cooperation "across genetic boundaries" within a species, I can think of lots without even having to search. Vampire bats sharing blood with unlucky fellow bats who didn't find anything comes to mind.

It seems that almost every time someone (often someone trying to make a point about human exceptionalism without having bothered to actually check if they're talking nonsense) makes a statement that "humans are the only creature to exhibit behaviour X", a counter-example is only a websearch away. I've come to strongly suspect that there isn't any special or unique quality humans have that no other species does; we differ only on the scale of some of them and perhaps got lucky with a few physical characteristics that lent themselves to additional uses (although that's very speculative; we built ourselves a society and a way of life perfectly suited for our shape and characteristics, so of course that shape and characteristics look really helpful).
Huge performance regression compared to native, memory bloat, non-native UI, battery abuse, lack of access to tons of native controls, minimum common denominator UI, and several other things besides...

What kind of interaction matters? Only directly interfacing with the Software through TCP/UDP (other OSI L4+ protocols)? What if I put a reverse proxy there? An API gateway?

"Nobody seems". Subjective. Also sounds wrong to me since it goes against my personal experience.

> Yeah, no. Netflix makes “native” apps for a mind-boggling number of platforms, including set-top boxes and game consoles.

How does that make the author's statement wrong?
