Neither Maemo nor Sailfish were "open mobile" in terms of hardware. They ran on the same kind of commodity mobile-phone hardware fraught with privacy risks as any mainstream phone, and the appeal of Librem has been that its design was going to overcome that. Also, while the software on Maemo and Sailfish devices was mostly open and hackable, the actual UI layer and some of the stock apps were closed-source.
This thread is insane... How did we go from someone borrowing others' phone on occasion to these ideas of Social Darwinism? At this rate, someone is going to suggest euthanasia within two more comments tops.

For most people, lending their phone won't even incur marginal costs considering the trend towards flat rates.

If you find yourself being annoyed by such situations, note that these feelings are bound to make you miserable, and are unlikely to have much of an affect on the target of your anger. I've found that it is far easier than I thought to just consciously decide not to get worked up such issues, and that it's remarkably effective at improving mood and social life.
Introversion is often confused with or confounded with other attributes. Sometimes when folks talk about introversion they are describing other things like social anxiety etc.
Did this for 15 years. Todos, notes, any list goes in a plain text file.

It was all good but not aesthetically pleasing in terms of readability (wonder if Text Editors will ever focus on improving leading and tracking, or better fonts). And lack of other visual goodies like easy columns.

Tried almost all todo apps and the lack of flexibility was always annoying. I wanted the flexibility of a text editor - an enhanced text editor.

Last year, I discovered Notion and have never looked back. I use it for everything. It's not perfect, but it's pretty close to what I've always wanted.
Mmmm... I'm a bit surprised by France: 3rd country but... first french town is 29th (Lyon, only the 3rd city of the country) and no french subdivision in the top 40 ?????

The simplest way to get the volume of a sphere or any other solid 3d object under a certain size is to fill a bucket of water to the brim, put the object in until it is completely submerged, take it out, then measure how much water is now missing. Obviously only works with smaller objects.
A bit of a nitpick maybe, but it's been Fortran and not FORTRAN for quite a while (since Fortran 90 in the 90's).
!awk '!/ipython/' YOURNOTEBOOKNAME.py > temp.py && mv temp.py app.py && rm YOURNOTEBOOKNAME.py

Living without SIM Card is actually quite doable (I haven't made phone calls for a while and non of previous ones was mandatory), and you can always get a number using IP Phone or something else.

Living without Internet, on the other hand...
But there's being a leach, and there's trying to cope given a moral-philosophical decision not to use a phone. And you're not distinguishing them.

Yes obviously. With proper authentication it could be a good idea for dealing with car theft. They should introduce two factor authentication if they go for this.
I think Sailfish had a proprietary UI component, but Maemo (and its derivatives Meego, Moblin and Mer) was wholly open except for the usual kernel/driver issues that are pretty much ubiquitous in embedded land.

I feel you. After my last phone broke I decided to get a dual SIM phone. I set up my phone to block all calls on the first SIM from any unknown number. I got a cheap second pre-paid SIM and essentially made it my 'business number'. On my android I then have it set up to 'Do not disturb' mode during sleeping hours. The transition was a bit more cumbersome than I anticipated, but after it was all said and done, I couldn't be happier with the outcome. My friends and family can get a hold of me whenever, and I no longer get calls from business/employer/etc unless it is in the allocated times I want.
No, some of the Nokia UI components on the N900 were closed-source. There was a community project to gradually write Free Software replacements for them, but it never completely covered what was provided by Nokia packages.

Here’s a direct link to read some of the public comments on this: https://mm.icann.org/pipermail/comments-com-amendment-3-03ja...

I am not particularly alarmed by the 28% increase every six years (like someone commented), perhaps that’s even a good thing to free up a bit of the massive domain squatting we’ve ended up in, but I do worry about this just being the start of what could be a string of amendments aiming to increase prices significantly, and with it, pricing out individuals and bootstrappers.
So when coarrays land in Flang in late 2021, will it be missing anything in gfortran? What will the X-vs-Y look like at that point, I wonder?

A German/Dutch sim card doesn't help someone living in Indonesia/Malaysia.

Also, the fact that the credit lasts 24 months before they steal it for not using it is meaningless, since life with a sim that has no data and makes no outgoing calls or sms is almost identical to life without a sim, except for the tracking and the ability to be found by others.

So i think it completely misses the message.
How do I rent a cheap apartment and buy a used car without a job? The job I need a car to drive to? What am I supposed to save, exactly? The allowance I get from my presumably rich parents?

In my case, my first job (at 14) required getting a ride to from a coworker with a car. Getting to university for my job working in the computer lab + my courses required either a car ride from a neighbor or 3 hours on the bus. After I moved away for my first salaried job, I needed a loan (thankfully a personal one and not from a bank - both of which are things many people don't have access to!) to cover my first month of expenses so I could move and actually start getting paid and building measurable savings, since the move already exhausted the savings I had left over after uni.

Money doesn't come out of thin air. Not everyone starts their working life with access to enough money to just buy a car (even used!) and rent an apartment.

> I wonder where the x86-64, x86_64, and (the most strange of all) x64 names came from.

The "x86-64" name is the original one, and came from AMD themselves: https://web.archive.org/web/20000817071303/http://www.amd.co... (and "x86_64" is obviously an alias for where a hyphen is not an allowed character, like identifiers on many programming languages).

The "x64" name came from Microsoft, probably due to file name length limitations (this was before Windows XP unified the Windows 9x and Windows NT lines).

IIRC, the "AMD64" name came later, probably to distinguish it better from Intel's IA-64 (Itanium).

Opening an issue on Black for anything but a true bug is chasing after the wind.
I’m pretty sure Black doesn’t do that, it will fit them onto a single line if possible, then it will move the kv pairs onto their own line, and failing that, one kv pair per line. In any case, I’m fine with more lines. Clarity is much more important than minimizing line count.

The ability to make it proprietary is in fact the reason why Apple didn't adopt gcc and became the main supporter of clang/llvm instead. So the issue is already here. Fortunately Apple's ambitions only center around keeping full control of the Apple walled garden (the apple main building is a wonderful symbol of it). And should a strong proprietary competitor outside of Apple's ecosystem emerge, people can always fork clang and put it under GPLv3 or similar.
If you think this is what the NSA was doing, you should learn more about that. While you’re doing so, ask whether there’s a difference between the owner of a site getting basic visitor information or a third-party compromising other services to get far more personal information which they would otherwise not have access to. This is the difference between me noticing what type of car you drive when you visit and constantly recording every cars’ occupants, destination, and topics of conversation in the entire city.

Finally, you’re also wrong about how sites use analytics: global stats don’t matter much compared to your actual visitors, whose demographics can vary significantly. Every site I’ve worked on since the mid-90s has found that to be important enough to do basic analytics of the sit under discussion here.
Detecting a failure and minimizing the request wreck that it causes is different from handling a deploy. The second one should cause no wrecks because your deploy management system should be able to tell your proxy layer to drain the target of deploy to allow the deploy to proceed when a target has no traffic
Lending the phone to someone who is in need for some other reason is fine.

Lending the phone to someone who doesn't want to carry one even knowing they will need it? Not fine. That person has little respect to others if they think they can't be bothered carrying a phone but everyone else should lend theirs when needed.

Not to mention modern phones are very personal. Our entire lives is there.
Ask HN: Where can I find remote hardware engineer roles? Is there such a thing?
I am a mother to a 5 month old daughter and I'm currently employed at FAANG as a hardware engineer. I've worked in medical devices and consumer electronics industries over the last 7 years. Primarily worked as a system integrator with focus on RF design and written a little firmware.

I've been working remotely since after my maternity leave. I've hired a nanny and see my daughter at feed times throughout the day, which is great. Going back to commuting to an office where I won't see my daughter until the end of day is not ideal. However, my senior managers are not comfortable with a remote arrangement in the long run.

I'd like to keep working in this field I love and also have the flexibility to be with my daughter.

Is there such a thing? Are there any companies that hire remote hardware engineers?

Yes, now people ask how did you achieve this physique? I never tell them it's steroid because who would give any respect to a guy who just injects some drug? Who will desire him?

I just tell them it's genetics and I spend 2 hours in gym. They look at my well built parents and they believe it. Actually I only spend less than 40 minutes 3 days a week.

If many men aren't using steroid to look good, where is all that steroid in the world going? Why is so much steroid caught by Scandinavia customs every year? Specially when Scandinavia is seen as "good genetic stock" and "healthy population" in all metrics.

If other guys around you set expectations of physique not naturally achievable there is not much you can do.
Eiffel is the reason I always looked at Java as a horrible fad. In high school when I was reading everything I could about software development, I read Object Oriented Software Construction. Immediately after, I read a book on Java 1.2 to learn Java, and could only think how poor Java was in comparison.
It's used in science (physics, chemistry, astronomy etc). Just like C++ is used not because it's a nice language but because of inertia and path dependecy, the same goes for fortran.
A reasonable compromise is to just have a SIM card with a basic prepaid phone (and SMS) plan but no data. Lots of people I know do that. Phone is online at home, in the workplace, at restaurants etc, and you can communicate.

In Rust, that’s more or less the meaning of the unsafe keyword. It marks code that does things the compiler can’t verify as correct, but it’s always been expected that unsafe code will maintain the invariants the Rust compiler uses. This is an attempt to formalize that general expectation.

If people immigrate to canada instead of the us to work in tech, I would expect there to be more companies founded here eventually. Further, fewer caandians will go to the us if hiring rises. I can only imagine it will have upwards pressure on wages too, which will eventually help create a pool of people with some capital for angel investing.

So I started doing Karate since 5 years ago. Before that I was not chubby but not fit either. I have cheek fat and my arms, chest and belly have some fat as well.

I started doing Karate and my weight went down quick and I notice my face gets leaner and now I have a defined jaw line. I’m not sure maybe just my genetics but maybe you got your jawline from losing weight.

3 years ago met a girl online, dated her and she is my wife now. When saw my previous photos she was quite shocked at the difference.

Fast forward now, I don’t have a body builder physique or male mode physique but I do have physique that most contact martial artist have, still have some belly fat but my chest, arm, thigh and belly muscles are thicker without using steroids.

I’m 33 now so I already past my growth rate as a man even 5 years ago, but still managed to change drastically.

The value add in paid journalism is in the research and writing itself, not in the delivery platform. This is why the New York Times is able to make money charging for its website.

How is it not the same with stock and funds, e.g. what I linked to?

What I linked to doesn't show the fund price, it shows the value normalized. Just like benchmark values usually are. It's not the normalization I (and others) am saying is bad, it's the graph.

But yes, stocks are usually shown graphed with their ticker value. Funds are usually not.

I find it hard to take people entirely seriously when in order for them to live their pseudo-ascetic lifestyle, they require other people around who haven't taken that step.

The OP is claiming the way he uses his tech gives him a cost saving and encouraging people to follow suit, when if everyone did that then he wouldn't be able to do the things he does any more. So it's not a sustainable lifestyle, because it leeches off the idea that most people aren't doing it.
