I imagine it would be possible to get Genode running on the Librem 5, which would be even more secure than Android. Only you'd be limited in what applications you can run.

Still, even on Linux, you can set up SELinux or Apparmor to harden your system as much as possible, run untrusted applications as a different user, compile your own hardened kernel, and so on. It's going to be a less secure system for casual users, but it'll allow power-users to more easily (you can do that on Android as well, but it's more difficult) secure their system as much as they want.

"We have to consider both of these in seeking a balanced middle-ground" is hardly a paradox.
As I recall it, Barbara Tuchman argues/describes in the Excellent "The Guns of August" that once precautionary mobilization had been ordered in one country, due to the nature of the railway system driven technology behind the logistics of the day, war was pretty much inevitable.

Nobody realized "the system" had this side effect before it was started, and once the button was pressed, it was pressed...

As your quote says. "economic relationships can decrease the likelihood that states will engage in war".

I buy IKEA furniture. I bought Ikea kitchen. 20 year warranty and I know they will be around for it. Hardware is the best you will get for the money on those cabinets.

Some IKEA furniture is actually decent. I don't want antiques in my house because I remodeled to have a modern look.

My dad bought kitchen cabinets from a small retailer, they gave him shit when he tried to replace one door because it was warped.

Honestly, I would rather deal with a major chain/retailer. I bought stuff at IKEA that wasn't wood but lasted over 10 years and served its purpose, and when it comes time to remodel I can buy something new and still end up paying less than for some "wood" furniture.
Surely the parent of a murdered child is massively compromised in judgement. Considering what they would think to be fair is like asking a madman what's fair, or rolling a die.
>attention sucking, dopamine delivery systems

I've been siting here for five minutes, trying to think about something, anything, that is good and doesn't fit that description. Everything people like, from exercise to socializing, shopping to charity. Literally everything that i do and that i like can be summed up as some form of attention sucking, dopamine delivery system.
The scale is different, but the permanence is the same, and that's very profound because we tend to take it for granted that great works will no longer be lost like they were in the past. It's interesting to think about what will survive and what won't over a period of thousands of years. It seems almost unthinkable that any of the main Beatles catalog could ever get lost, library-of-Alexandria style. But on a scale of thousands of years, governments and nations will change, nothing is certain, maybe the whole Beatles catalog could indeed become permanently lost if the world gets taken over by dystopian censors. On a long enough timescale, anything's possible.

Not all phones have big screens. Not all people want phones with big screens, and even though it's the current fashion that may change in a few years.
Exactly this. At worst, you need to at least taper the emotionally charged question with the counter-point; "Would you feel differently if your child was falsely accused of murder because of genetic comtamination?"

How to Nail the Amazon Interview: The Ultimate Guide
My biggest worry was trying to find a job followed by what do I do with all this stuff when I got evicted. By that point, I didn’t have savings left and no family to fall back on. I slept on an air mattress for the best part of a year in a borrowed room of a very kind (mostly) stranger.

I got through it, but I do not want to ever be in a position again where I have to watch my stuff get given away because it’s old crappy stuff that can’t be sold for food money.

By renting, I can have a few nice things and when I can’t, we’ll, too bad, but I need that money for something else, like food or medecine.

> Wow, so they passed a national law that essentially targets just a single park? How often does that happen anywhere?

Might be more common than you think.

The state of Missouri passed an amendment in 2010 [1] that changed rules about a position "except counties with a population between 600,001-699,999", which just happened to only apply to Jackson County in the state. (I always assumed there was some kind of backroom dealing involved with the officials of that county.)

I can't find it now but I also think there's a similar law that used a similar population work around with a limit of 1,000,000 people, which was in danger of no longer applying to St. Louis county because the population was threatening to fall to around 999,000.

Calling the markup non-accessible is defensible[1], but it doesn't break HTML semantics in any way.

[0] https://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/custom-elements.html#...

[1] though it wouldn't be more accessible as a stack of divs and the custom element can be aria-tagged[2], in the browsers supporting it it's also possible to use customised elements but here there's little of interest

Don't forget that they don't even actually load faster, but rather support the illusion of such because Google lazy-loads a few of them in the background while you're reading through the search results. Which honestly has some merits of its own, though it's a kick in the dick for metered data.
Fun idea. The naming is weird as pylon used to be a python web framework but since it's not going to have any chance to become popular, overriding it seems alright.
I've gone through this thought exercise a lot myself, even considering replacing my iPhone with a flip phone. For me personally, the issue is the time-sucking nature of the apps and services that were on my phone.

To solve this, I deleted any apps with infinitely scrolling content, leaving my phone to include only utilitarian functionality, maps, and tools for music creation.

Because I know myself and my vices, I went so far as to add Facebook, Instagram, and Reddit to the "Restricted Content" list.

I bookmarked text.npr.org and mprnews.org and use those as my quick, bullshit-free gateway to local and national news.

With my phone in utility mode, I no longer experience false vibrations or that feeling of a phone burning a hole in my pocket.

Finally, I joined a meditation center and attend weekly.

My relationship with my phone is improved. It's great.

Always looking for more suggestions.
That article was written in 2011. I would've hoped we would have a more elegant solution in the intervening years. Data tables are widespread, the need for responsive design is well-known, why is there not a general solution already baked into CSS?

Only in very specific, unusual market conditions. Less than 3 years it makes sense to rent, but even then it’s difficult to time it so you align with the lease end.

I live in a national average housing market, bought a house in 2006, and save about 30% on a monthly basis as compared to a much smaller two-bedroom apartment. I include mortgage, tax, insurance and a 7% holdback for repairs.

Long term, renting is always losing proposition given the low cost of capital.
Yes. Potatoes.
From your comment I was replying to:

> "UTF-16" on Windows usually means UCS-2, so you risk losing information if you reencode.

On Windows, you normally call this API to convert UTF-8 to UTF-16: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/desktop/api/stringa... As you see, the documentation says it converts to UTF-16, not UCS-2, so no information is lost re-encoding.

And the article you’ve linked says “file system treats path and file names as an opaque sequence of WCHARs.” This means no information is lost in the kernel, either.

Indeed, kernel doesn’t validate nor normalize these WCHARs, but should it? I would be very surprised if I ask an OS kernel to create a file, and it silently changed the name doing some Unicode normalization.

Linux kernel doesn’t do that either, https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/admin-guide/ext4.html says “the file name provided by userspace is a byte-per-byte match to what is actually written in the disk”
No, the file.

Just be careful to draw the distinction between a dopamine hit as a reward for genuine effort and one delivered deliberately to reinforce an action...
UTF-16 is only a convention for file names on Windows. This is why we have things like WTF-8: https://simonsapin.github.io/wtf-8/
Is there a reason the file needs a License when the whole repo already has it?
If you keep the Scala feature you use minimal, it should not get too complicated.

First step was to learn SBT, which in itself is simple (building projects, dependencies, plugins).

Later we have them do scala exercises (scala-exercises.org) to understand Scala basics, and the philosophy behind Scala, onboard on Framework (Play/Lagom).

Then we move on to Slick, and then Future API, error handling with Try, for yield comprehension, map and flatMap, collections, and of course implicits.

The rest would be comments on pull request.

> They have ruined web design... Suffice to say however that I am very, very tired of the epidemic of (often massive) position: fixed headers on websites nowadays.

Well fixed headers are annoying, but I find that considering all sorts of screen sizes has actually improved web design in the most part.

Most sites are better in terms of accessibility and UX than they were 15 years ago, which could be attributed to more diversity in devices that developers need to deploy to.

Using your example, renting the sofa only makes sense if you expect to only need a sofa for about 40 months. I say about because if you're super diligent, and most aren't, and put the extra 1500 in some investment you're still only going to stretch out the break even point to something like four years. Most people have sofa's more than four years.
In most places they walked away with nothing.
I personally like buying used, keeping it in good shape or even improving on the bought condition, and re-selling when I no longer need it/am moving.

My aunt's mother-in-law just moved back to England from Canada. She spent thousands to ship back junk. She could have sold or donated most of it and used the money to buy all new stuff back home and been way better off for it.

That's a pretty obscure reason to say that smartphones suck though. If you need more computing power, buy a tablet or a big battery pack, or use a laptop. Hell, log into a remote server and run your apps there.

95% of people who use phones don't need that much power and given how many people own phones they clearly find them extremely useful.
No idea, really, but generating electricity by burning plastic might release less carbon than from burning coal because the plastic contains hydrogen as well as carbon. It depends, no doubt, on the type of plastic and the efficiency with which it can be burnt while avoiding the release of nasty chemicals.

It's not at all obvious to me what's best: landfill, burn, or recycle. But government policy should be based on a proper analysis of those options. I have the impression that government is mostly just compromising between what industry lobbyists are asking for, in order to maximise their profits, and what the ignorant public are asking for, in response to fashion and irrationality. Let's hope that somewhere some sensible civil servants are quietly doing the right sums.

I agree that its not money that is the obstacle. But I dont know if its convenience either - there are platforms out there now that will let anyone host a website with less effort than sigining up for facebook and learning the platform.

Maybe the problem is that unlike buying, music making a website requires people to be creative and the majority of people are just not creative and don't wish to be creative.
I actually like it. Constraining the text width improves readability, columns make more efficient use of the available space, and horizontal scrolling avoids the need for vertical pagination when using columns.
What Every Programmer Should Know
For me it's not just communication. Maps give you super-powers. Camera comes in handy. Phones are decent remote controllers for other devices. Playing music (and occasional video) is also useful feature. All these features except incoming communication require you to engage, which provides benefit without stripping me of control.

Just disable most of (or all?) notifications and don't use social networks. Observe yourself checking the phone compulsively, and disable distractions that cause this behavior.
How to Get All the Domain Records for Your Account from Route53
I'll be a bit provocative and say they are things in 3 different categories that just overlap a bit in the class of text editors.

VSCode is an open-source and slimmed down version of a really good IDE, Visual Studio. It's a great choice for developing with MS tools like C# or F#.

Vim is an extension of Vi, which is mostly a set of primitives for manipulating text. As an implementation, I think Vim is not good. Vimscript shows its age. But this can be forgiven because the text manipulation primitives are so good. Vi, and to a lesser extend Vim, try to outsource everything that is not strictly text manipulation.

Emacs is a text-mode Lisp VM. Since (mostly) everything is text-oriented, it happens to have great editing facilities. But this should not distract you from the main fact. It's a platform. And it has high-quality applications (Org, Notmuch, Magit, Calc, Dired...) plus lots of libraries. Most importantly, applications can easily talk to each other in Lisp.

After more than a decade hopping around different environments, I decided computing is better done in 3 platforms. Emacs (for nearly everything), a web browser (just for hypertext) and a terminal (to deal with plumbing, Unix in my case). I've tied everything together with a tiling WM. I find it is a lot saner than using little CLI or GUI silos.
Can confirm. The ergonomic setups of some non-tech staff I've worked with has definitely out-paced myself.

But some of the differences lie in understanding how to work around constraints.

I've been putting off requesting some specific administered software removal from my own machine for months because I keep getting caught up in much more pressing work. In most cases I'm able to just work around it. In other cases, it just eats up time. But I can see the path through to a solution more clearly than any corporate wrangling.
“At one time, the argument was made that having them perform for crowds was necessary to keep them from going crazy.”

I think that’s actually a valid argument if you keep something in captivity. When you put humans in jail it’s also better to give them something to do instead of just having them sit around.

Freedom is still the best option though.
I was under the impression that putting money in stock market is basically gambling and you should be ready to lose that money.

Putting money in a property especially if you can do your own upgrades can really pay off. Example, bought a house for $280k,I invested about $50k, its worth about $400k now.
I can't argue with the data for the population, but just anecdotally I definitely am more active during DST. The fact that it's warmer during this period definitely helps some, but I mostly go to an indoor gym so it's not as big of a factor as someone who runs outside. It's just harder for me to be motivated to leave my house at 7 PM when its been dark for 90 minutes vs. if I've still got 2 hours of daylight.
You're thinking of your browser. There's a lot more to be done on a computer.
The intent is nice, in fact this is what React Native for Web does as well with the difference that accessibility and semantics are preserved because JS comes to the rescue.

AMP SEO advantage is a great incentive to make them lighter. The thing is, Google could have pushed their algorithm toward performance more and make it clear on their page too and have the same effect. They just found a way to get more control from it too.

In the GTA (Toronto area) it costs around $2500 for a SFH, or $1M+ to buy. Around Ottawa, a house rents for similar prices, perhaps a couple hundred less, but the same house can be bought for half the price. It absolutely makes sense to rent in the GTA but less so around Ottawa. Landlords in the GTA are banking on ever escalating real estate prices to make a profit when they finally sell. Rent doesn't always scale with land-value.
