I swap it out once a day, and charge the extra batteries in a charger. This way I can carry backup power that's relatively small compared to most general battery packs. Also I'm putting less strain on my USB-C port, which I've had fail on other phones. Lastly, some people advocate doing it this way because fast charging tends to create a lot of heat, and that heat might damage the phone.
I have used browserstack.com and had good results but I've primarily used it for automated tests on real devices rather than manual testing, but you can do both. There are others, AWS has a device farm as does SauceLabs.
There's something we have to accept here, that he could be right.

It could be true.

I'm not saying I agree with him or that I would have said the same things (I'm no Stallman, nobody cares about what I say anyway) but what he said was just the result of logical reasoning

For example if you look at the titles it's easy to dismiss RMS as someone who favours rapists, but in the article he's always quoted in full and the things he said are a bit different

For example quoting the VICE article

> RMS: “it is morally absurd to define ‘rape’ in a way that depends on minor details such as which country it was in or whether the victim was 18 years old or 17.”

And he's not entirely wrong.

Rape in rape even in space at the age of 93.
But a new problem is people thinking computer are always right so they follow the GPS navigation blindly over a cliff or they don't pay attention when a poorly named driver assist is engaged.

As long as self driving companies release PR materials (and the fanboys as well) there should be fine with everyone to see the other side too.

Btw the claim that autopilot is better then an average human was not proven yet, all the existing statistics are very misleading comparing some new cars versus all vehicles in all conditions. Or the other statistic from Tesla is under doubt due the fact when asked for the actual data to be made public Tesla refused (let me know if there was any progress in this case)

This sounds like a fable invented by someone familiar with the story of the phony villages that Grigory Potemkin built along the Volga to impress Empress Catherine II.
I don't have the context of the original quote, but from what you wrote, none of those are inaccurate. The most common problem with human trafficking is that the trafficcer places the victim in a position where they are or appear to be willing. Normally, they would not be trying to escape every moment they have. The misunderstanding of this is why people don't like the comment.
iPhone 11 Review: The Battery Life We’ve Been Dying For
> So think about this when you decide to buy a house, if you have kids. Your kids neighbors might be the biggest influence on the rest of their lives. Imagine if you had grown up one town over, or on the other side of the tracks, but didn't because your mom liked the kitchen layout in the house you grew up in.

That is probably true. Which means that segregation likeley is a rational choice for the individual. If you are a rich person you should live in an affluent area and not in a project (ghetto) because you might be damaging your childrens' future prospects. Rich hippie parents who choose to live among the poor are statistically speaking not doing their children any favor...

Makes me think that it should be government policy everywhere to ensure neighborhoods are as mixed as possible. Easier said than done, because if you live in an affluent area you'll probably fight very hard to keep it affluent and the poor people away.
So basically it depends on the founder / CEO to raise money to keep the burn rate up to keep the evaluation up. Stops working when the narrative changes.

Use CUDA streams, use what's available to check whether queueing an operation in a stream would/could block.
Last I read, they seemed to have around 2^11 entries in a presumably fixed ringbuffer).

Use this to at least notify the erlang side that it can't do this operation right now, either like send(2) via EAGAIN / EWOULDBLOCK, or, if possible, by implementing a "push-notification" from the CUDA scheduler to the BEAM IO subsystem to try again automatically (sort-of implementing CUDA stream enqueue operations as a custom type of IO) or base a poll(2)-style function (to be called by erlang code that then tries to re-submit or maybe propagate a ressource exhaustion conditon/timeout upstream) on this enqueue-possible notification.

The most important thing to support would be a way to allow the caller to not overfill the queue and allow an erlang thread to efficiently block until woken by a completion event in a CUDA stream.

I'm not sure, but I think the former could be done by manually accounting for queue fill-level in the erlang->CUDA library.
The latter should be quite easy with CUDA stream callbacks inserted into a helper stream which got a "block for CUDA stream event $x" inserted right before the stream callback. The benefit would be that it's (mostly?) transparent to potential other Rust/C++ code interacting with the same CUDA streams for e.g. backend-fetching or handling/scheduling expensive CPU processing with tight integration into the CUDA operations.

Last I checked there might not have been an efficient way to syscall-block on CUDA stream events, so that one would have to manually trade between context switch overhead and latency because you'd have (had) to sched_yield(3) in between waking up to check if the stream is done or not. The only blocking wait call was a busy poll that would result in wasting the cpu core and preventing other threads/applications from using it while the GPU was busy going through the queued-up tasks/operations. I didn't try or at least don't remember trying whether stream callbacks could be (ab-)used for delivering progress information without actively/explicitely waiting on any CUDA stream(-event). It might be possible though.
There are a great many suburban neighbourhoods with no HOA. From what I can tell (at least in the Northeast), they're limited to neighbourhoods of well above median income—I would guess that the houses would probably start somewhere in the 7-800k range (which, in suburbia, probably gets you 5-6k square feet or more), and go up pretty fast from there.

HOAs and their restrictions seem very much to be a form of conspicuous consumption—"we can afford to keep our lawns all precisely the same length, and precisely the same shade of green, regardless of the fact that we're in a months-long drought"—as well as a vehicle for petty tyrants who enjoy enforcing their particular idea of what A Perfect House And Lawn looks like on everyone in their development.
Glanced through the paper quickly, couldn't find _any_ references to elasticity or strain, just the breaking stress.
I would have thought that would be in the calculations somewhere, considering this thing would be a quarter of a million miles long!

There are a number of excerpts being pasted all over the web as a promotion to the book, like this one:

https://www.vice.com/en_us/article/59nd9d/the-story-behind-t...

The editing on these stories is a little slack and technically incomplete. But it's an interesting piece of videogame history and probably worth a lookover.

It also goes without saying that the essential book on Atari 2600 programming is Racing the Beam:

Sorry, but I do strongly believe in this. The work stands apart from the man.

As a kid, I loved Lord Byron's poetry. Later, disgusted at his personality, I stopped reading his works. Still later, now I realise that flawed human beings can create beautiful works. Such is life.
1 -- No one is saying that if you don't have the same views as the majority, you're problematic. But some non-majority views, like the one you link to -- his last-minute recant of his belief that "voluntary pedophilia" was a thing and didn't harm children -- are nevertheless beyond the pale.

2 -- Stop using "because autism" as an excuse. It's an insult to the many people on the spectrum who don't do and say shitty things. Also, has RMS been diagnosed? Are you a psychologist? If not, I don't think you're qualified to make that statement. I'm not sure you're even reading the same thing I am; she specifically calls out incidents and people who claim RMS specifically harassed them. If you look a bit on Twitter, there are more women coming out who have been similarly harassed. I agree that standards change over time, but when the behavior of 40 has remained consistent over the next 40 years, that's a huge problem.

3 -- It is entirely possible that a single piece can be about and triggered by the actions of one person, but then expand to be more general. Not sure why you can't see that.

4 -- So what? I mean... sure, she has flaws, but so do we all, and that has nothing to do why RMS does shitty things. Also, she _posted the verbatim contents of the emails_ (including the most relevant part, right there, a couple paragraphs into her post). It's on Vice (etc.) for not, y'know, actually reading them and reporting things factually.

I'm just not really sure why you feel the need to latch onto this single post so tightly. It was a catalyst, to be sure, and several media outlets did some incredibly irresponsible, dishonest reporting. But that doesn't change the fact that RMS has been engaging in reprehensible behavior for decades. It's feeling like you're looking at a list of 10 bad things and are saying, "wait, everything is ok because one of these things on the list was wrong!" This might be a shitty straw to break the camel's back, but the camel's back was overdue in breaking.
Got your email in my notes. Will shoot you a message once I have something out.
No, that's just unrelated to the definition of unemployed. Participation = (employed + unemployed) / total people in working age. If someone is not looking for work, then they are not considered unemployed.

Though you might argue even with equal unemployment ratios, this brings the number of unemployed men higher than the number of women.
The concern has already been raised by sibling comment[0], so cross-posting my response. Let the last line quoted from article be a reply to you.

>This has nothing to do with 'SJWs'

>I think it's much more likely you're clinging to buzzwords.

The ESR's article[1] you are referencing is so much more than just headline. I encourage you to read it, and try to re-construct the events, the thoughts, and the emotions that led ESR to post a piece that explosive. The comment section alone spans some 760 responses over four years, with people chipping in with their observations from the trenches and with their shattered dreams. While writing, ESR was in communication with several victims of then-recent social media mobs, and conveyed their woes.

The two bits of article that stood out to me:

>The hacker culture’s norm about inclusion is clear:
>anybody who can pull the freight is welcome

and

>We must (...)
>learn to recognize their thought-stopping jargon and kafkatraps

From Vice.com:

Early in the thread, Stallman insists that the “most plausible scenario” is that Epstein’s underage victims were “entirely willing” while being trafficked. Stallman goes on to argue about the definition of “sexual assault,” “rape,” and whether they apply to Minsky and Giuffre’s deposition statement that she was forced to have sex with him.

In response to a student pointing out that Giuffre was 17 when she was forced to have sex with Minsky in the Virgin Islands, Stallman said “it is morally absurd to define ‘rape’ in a way that depends on minor details such as which country it was in or whether the victim was 18 years old or 17.”

>>Giuffre was 17 at the time; this makes it in the Virgin
Islands.

>Does it really? I think it is morally absurd to define "rape" in a way that depends on minor details such as which country it was in or whether the victim was 18 years old or 17'.

>I think the existence of a dispute about that supports my point that the term "sexual assault" is slippery, so we ought to use more concrete terms when accusing anyone.

Ask HN: Why are people asking to buy my chrome extension?
Hi,

Last year, I made a chrome extension that took about a month to code, that helps you annotate screenshots.

Every now and then, someone writes to me, or contacts me through the google store, to ask me if I am interested in selling the extension to them.

This is weird to me because the project doesn't generate any money, is not particularly hard to copy, and has a ton of competitors.

The fact that I get contacted fairly frequently is suspicious to me. Are these scam attempts? Like: they would ask me to acquire the software, and then ask for $x upfront to write up the paperwork?

Has this happened to other people before?
Everyone needs to realize that the whole "fine" was just an inside deal. Who do you think provides credit monitoring services? That's right, credit bureaus. That's why the they're pushing everyone to take the "free credit monitoring", so they recover the loss from the fine.

If they were to pay all 140 million people $125, the sum would be $17b or so, which is an appropriate fine.
At the very least, government sponsored entities should not give them money. I have tried to ask both Queens Borough Public Library and Research Foundation City University of New York (RF CUNY) but nobody I talk to has any authority on this matter.
> could just not ever set the spin bit.

That works until middleboxes start requiring that the spin bit is set. As I commented in the earlier discussion linked above:

"You do know that someone somewhere is going to make a middlebox that just drops a packet unless that bit flipped in the precise sequence that the middlebox developer believed was the correct one, right?

Then someone proposes an enhancement to QUIC which happens to change the sequence of the flips (perhaps some multipath thing, or an enhancement in the way it treats reordered packets), and it breaks... "
As someone contemplating the move from Slack, I'm also very interested in this response
Bill Gates is busy with a decade long PR effort to whitewash his reputation - successfully. That he does some good along the way is 'collateral upside'.
People can and do change their views, certainly.

But when a 66 year old man says that he has now learned that sex with children is wrong, do you just wipe the past clean and forget that anything ever happened? Would it be wrong for those past views to have any effect, now that he's changed his mind?
The kind of thinking that surviving until you're five, having access to healthcare and education, being given opportunities based solely on achievement rather than being deprived of them because of gender or skin color, that's on a pedestal? That's not "Western life." That's just something (some of us want) to strive for.
So it took him decades and many "conversations" to come to the conclusion that sexually abusing children is wrong? You're just whitewashing his abhorrent beliefs with neutral language.

So here's a question for YOU:

Why do you think that there should be a discussion about whether or not the sexual abuse of children is wrong?
Is ‘Digital Addiction’ a Real Threat to Kids?
If that contains relevant facts, why not just cite them instead of asking people to watch a 30-minute political video?
I think it is a reaction to the politicization of society. A lot of people recognize that there is a polarization of society, but they don't want to become involved in a culture war or war of words, so they try to maintain their hobby as a neutral zone. That is a good thing. It is trying to find a way to work together with others who have differing views without letting it get in the way of "being friends" with them in furthering a good cause. You don't have to support the red team, or the blue team, you can just support the tech team and work with very different people without letting that get in the way.
The problem is trying to minimize human trafficking or suggesting that it's ok as long as the victim appears to be willing.

No, initially he refused to apologize, then he withdrew from the hosting gig, then he actually apologized, more than once.

Had he just apologized when the academy first brought up the issue, he could have gone right on with hosting. As it was, he pulled out of the deal because he didn't want to be a distraction.
Well since it's in pounds, that's an earth gravity weight measurement. Maybe they're talking about moon weight :)

Actually, not using a measurement of mass is a bit of a red flag.

EDIT: Perhaps I should read the paper and not rely on science-journalism. At first glance paper looks pretty good in terms of mass measurement and estimation.

A sensible approach. A few good ideas here!
The very first line of the readme had me searching through this thread to figure out what exactly this repo contains. Is it the standard library, or just the STL?

Very cool release, but confusing naming. I'm sure it's longstanding practice at Microsoft, but maybe instead of saying "also known as the STL," it would be more clear to say, "which we also call the STL."

Anyway, I'm looking forward to poking around this code.

Yes, that seems to have been misunderstood. The cable that weighs 88,000lb (in the paper, 40,000kg), has a cross-sectional area of 10⁻⁷m²! That won't stand up to much use.

If I'm reading (skimming) right, they say "this would only allow transport of weights up to 100kg".
A popular chrome extension is like a limited version of a botnet. You can run ads or any sort of js though the extension, provided it does not violate the TOS. There is value in having command of so many browsers.
Orange man bad. You're right.
The thing is, people told him about his behavior for years, and he never changed his ways. When conferences added that speakers were not supposed to flirt or give sexually suggestive comments to attendants, he circumvented that by asking women to go across the street and gave them his "pleasure cards" [1].

After almost 30 years of people giving him a pass and trying to make him understand, I am glad that he is getting some reckoning. His views are abhorrent and he gives no indication he is willing to change them.

This just happened. Let's check in with him in six months, and see if he's still breathing. If his experience is like many of the shitty men whose misbehavior has been unmasked as part of the MeToo movement, I'm sure he'll end up back on his feet at some point, whether he deserves to or not.

Just pointing out that this analogy doesn't hold. Netflix's customer base running desktop Linux are a rounding error for the foreseeable future. 99% of any lender's customers would be at least somewhat pleased to drop Equifax and none of them receive any benefit from using Equifax's service over their competitors.
You mean such as:

"The nominee is quoted as saying that if the choice of a sexual partner were protected by the Constitution,
"prostitution, adultery, necrophilia, bestiality, possession of child pornography, and even incest
and pedophilia" also would be. He is probably mistaken, legally--but that is unfortunate. All of these
acts should be legal as long as no one is coerced. They are illegal only because of prejudice and narrowmindedness."

"I am skeptical of the claim that voluntarily pedophilia harms children. The arguments that it causes harm
seem to be based on cases which aren't voluntary, which are then stretched by parents who are horrified by
the idea that their little baby is maturing. "

" There is little evidence to justify the widespread assumption that willing participation in pedophilia hurts children.

Granted, children may not dare say no to an older relative, or may not realize they could say no; in that case, even if they do
not overtly object, the relationship may still feel imposed to them. That's not willing participation, it's imposed participation, a different issue. "
