Is there any confirmation that this phone will/won't support 5G? It seems to be omitted in the marketing materials.

While multiple years of OS support would be nice in this form factor, not being able to use 5G data would be a big negative in terms of this being "futureproofed".
There is not a shortage of people who have very little money and will take risks.
It has upgraded internals, no? So it's the iPhone 6 with some beefier insides, just like the original SE.

But yes, it has nothing on the original SE, since it has the same size as the iPhone 8...
How many product reviews occur for these drives?

Were these new enough that anyone bothered?

If it’s sunglasses with a strong filter, or possibly unfortunate polarization, it may cause some issues I believe.
Hard to write this without using too inflammatory language. It's not an either or, a society can criticize bad conditions while being unable to provide labor protection laws. It says something about the country that is unable to do so, it might say something about the power of global enterprises if it happens in multiple countries, and it definitely says a lot about the importance of unions, how much their diminished power is felt now.

That's not limited to one country - but leads a bit far away from this specific french court decision. On the other hand, all of these contexts play into conflicts like this one.
The 8 had a 4.7" screen and 6" (diagonal) footprint.

The 5 had a 4" screen and 5.4" footprint.

An "all-screen" phone with a 5.4" display would be have the footprint of an iPhone 5, like I said. (and that's an 8 Plus — not just an 8 — sized screen)

((still too big, imho, I want something in the iPhone 4 footprint, but I'll take what I can get))
News flash, it is worse than 9/11, more dead in NYC AND a larger economic impact (well other than COVID hasn't yet started two wars)
Otoh Vim has some good stuff out of the box that emacs sorely needs. Completion? ^N/^P and the same prefixed with ^X are very useful, no configuration required, and I have not found anything like that for emacs. Ctags works out of the box. It's a bit weird that cscope integration is worse (you need a script that scans up your directory hierarchy to find the database; ctags support has this built in). In emacs you can install the xcscope package but it's miserable compared to vim's built-in cscope support, and doesn't integrate with evil's tag stack.. sigh.

In the US, Apple themselves offer an interest free loan for 2 years. The price of an iPhone plus AppleCare is the same whether or not you pay at time of purchase or over the next 24 months.

The answer varies wildly based on the size of the company. At smaller companies, they tend to oversee hiring, technical work, and act as managers, but don't necessarily have budgetary authority. At larger companies, they tend to have more authority and involvement in larger strategic efforts; they tend to be "managers of managers."
The convenience factor is also engineered. It's not convenient to drive unless there is ample parking at every destination, and policies in the US and many other countries has basically banned building new places without ample parking. Providing this parking requires a large amount of land, which makes walking slow, unpleasant, and dangerous.

>In WD's terms, they'd tell you that if you've got e.g. your /var partition mounted over SMB to your NAS, then your NAS is receiving a Desktop workload, and so you should use their Desktop drives in it, not NAS drives.

That's still obfuscation bordering on scam IMO, if the drives have technical limitations they should be spelled out, not hidden behind broad terms like "NAS drive", especially when they're branded the same way as older drives that didn't have these limitations.

Also, you'll have to explain to me how having these drives perform correctly while rebuilding a RAID array is not a "usual NAS" scenario. Because reading TFA it seems like getting these drives in a NAS to begin with is a challenge on its own.
So sad and bleak to read.

Are there any remotely promising paths to treating or preventing neurodegenerative diseases like these in the future? Or at least to slow down the progression? Are there any experimental drugs? Will we likely just need to wait until targeted in vivo genetic engineering is understood and mastered?

I know those are broad questions, but suffering from something like dementia, Alzheimer's, or Parkinson's, or having a loved one suffer from it, seems like one of the cruelest fates imaginable. The helplessness of the doctor saying there's basically nothing you can do other than to try to eat healthy and exercise... If I was given such a diagnosis while still lucid, I think I would want to try every experimental treatment available, if any exist. I'd accept almost any risk over that horrifying, inevitable outcome.
Yes, this is exactly what they are doing.

I have a chronic neurological condition that may eventually affect my ability to walk (though it is stable and the current prognosis is good and the drugs work for the pain) but when I was going through the process of finding out what it was and how bad it was the one question at the front of my mind was "will this affect me mentally?", I could live with the thought I may one day need a wheelchair but I don't think I could live knowing I was going to lose my essential sense of self.

This is a beautifully written article but it hit me pretty hard, I can understand the terror having faced it for a few months, I think if I got a diagnosis of dementia I'd head to Switzerland at the point where I still could.

My heart goes out to Lee and his family.
Sublime was a victim of it's own success when it came to it's packages. It was a great ecosystem, but Sublime needed a complete rework to support some more basic customization, like allowing packages to add functionality to the sidebar.
I think that single purpose devices create more deliberate and mindful behavior. Thus even if the nominal task is completed successfully, the result just doesn’t feel right.

Example: I can and have read books on my iPhone, but I find the result subpar compared to reading on Kindle or dead tree. Even though I technically completed my task, the experience of completing it wasn’t what I would’ve had on a single purpose device.

With iPhone you can set up an alternate appearance to work with accessories like glasses/sunglasses or I assume a mask, though both might make it less secure. Personally I love Face ID. There are times it won’t work like when I’m actively brushing my teeth or wearing a mask, but those are rare enough for me and there times you can’t use Touch ID either like if you’re wearing gloves. Ideally they would have Touch ID under the screen and you could use either one.
Neurodegenerative diseases scare me out of my wits. All I can hope is whatever takes me is swift, or at the very least leaves my mind intact. Regardless of who you were and how rich and famous you might be, all what matters is what you'll be.
on very hilly roads, I like to hit the crest of the hill at least 10 mph below my target speed so I don't have to ride the brakes all the way down. imo, this is fine as long as you don't do it in the left lane.

my car has a standard transmission so cruise control isn't super useful in this situation anyway, as I tend to change gears a lot.

You're comparing probably the most expensive mass market flour (King Arthur) with probably about the cheapest (Walmart's). A 2x-3x price differential sounds about right.
> Any details, how do they leak?

Extensions, mostly. You have to be real careful which extensions you install because extensions run at the window level (mostly) rather than the container level and see across/through containers.

Also things like auto-fill (including password suggestions); if you like that being very specific to context, then you'd want different profiles rather than containers.

I've found I've been using a mixture of profiles and containers, myself, to balance ease of access (containers are fast to launch and can auto-launch per specific sites) versus better extension control and auto-fill/etc separation.

(ETA: As for finger-printing, both containers and profiles are equal on the most common finger-printing: cookies and localStorage. Neither protects you well from IP Address tracking, which is a growing concern, but not the approach of at least the big players like Google or Facebook, yet.)
I should’ve, but I was both slow in realizing the problem and lazy in fixing it.
Yeah I just upgraded a ZFS mirror from 2 x 3TB to 2 x 8TB, using Seagate SMR drives (picked them up for $185 CAD which is super cheap).

This is for a media server so figured SMR would be fine, but the resilver took 28hours!

No checksum errors though, so now that it's done things seem to be humming along fine.
Yeah. I'm not saying there will never be a new feature that inspires me to upgrade early, but there isn't one on the horizon right now. The only things I can think of right now are a foldable version (maybe) or a significantly smaller screen size (SE-size). 5G certainly won't do it.
This looks very interesting and impressive, and I hope this will catch Jonathan's eye.

Have you though about how the spin of particles could work in this framework? And have you though about what it would look like to extend local gauge invariance from spacetime to multiway?

(I haven't read the actual papers and the assumptions that went into them yet, but to the summary is very impressive and exciting: a basic framework that can derive general relativity and path integral, put them together in equal footing in an extended "multiway", possibly give natural explanations to several long-standing puzzles of physics [dark matter, dark energy, black holes, black hole information paradox, measurement problem, inflation, dimensionality of the universe, arrow of time, ...]. I don't know if you can eventually find a rule that will result in the standard model, but everything fits so far, and it is possibly not a coincidence. Great work so far! Of course, it may or not may not lead to something that recovers all of the physics that we know today, but regardless, thanks for pursuing this exciting avenue!)
Form factor is frankly too big for pants. Have you ever tried to squat with an iPhone X in your front pocket?

that's something many people would've hoped. but Apple product cycle is re-cycle. so the R&D of this SE allows going to target price while keeping their expected revenue.

Sadly as I'm not getting any younger my SE 4" becomes harder on my eyes and my decision of having 16GB at the time got it to be filled. though it's really the best phone and most reliable phone I had.
(that's btw a pro for using the iPhone 6s -> 8 design including fixes for bendgate/audio ic/etc at least I hope so)
I would happily make do with the dongle, but the Apple dongle's built-in DAC is noticeably poor. And, the iPhone having a lightning connector instead of a USB one, there really aren't a lot of alternatives on the market, especially if you're looking for a reasonable price point.

It's really frustrating. I use my phone to listen to music at work, and while I'm far from being an audiophile, things like a tinny high end are still annoying. Where Apple has spent so much time marketing to creatives, you'd think they would pay more attention to something like this. My impression, though, is that they're so caught up with the cash cow that is AirPods and wireless Beats headphones that they just don't care anymore.
Real waffles use yeast, sadly another item that's becoming scarce. Here's the Cook's Illustrated recipe which I use very often, it turns out excellent waffles.

1 3/4 C milk

1 stick butter (melted but not hot)

2 C flour

1 T sugar

1 t salt

1 1/2 t yeast

2 eggs

1 t vanilla extract

Whisk everything together in a lidded container. Stick in fridge overnight (10 hrs min, 24 hrs max). It'll be thick and bubbly in the morning, ladle it in your hot waffle iron, don't whisk it down, it'll deflate the gas. Makes 7 - 8 waffles.

> Emacs regexps are so unusual

Parentheses are also not metachars in Vi (and Vim) regexps by default, and are not metachars in POSIX BRE (basic regular expressions).

https://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/basedefs/V1...

The grep utility, for instance, understands BREs by default; you must use grep -E to get ERE (extended regex) in which ( and ) are grouping characters, or else the deprecated egrep command (not in POSIX).
Totally agree. My experience has been interesting because I've grown with the company in this position so I've seen both sides of it. I'm now getting to the point where I'm elevating myself out of the day-to-day "now" and focusing on future strategy and whats "next"
That may have reduced the likelihood, but closing them down would not prevent incidents from showing up in this list. For instance, check https://www.schoolsecurity.org/trends/violent-deaths-and-sch...

>March 16, 2005: Covington, KY

>A man was shot to death and two people were wounded in an altercation about 40 yards from an elementary school. The school went into a lockdown. The incident did not involve individuals associated with the school, but a teacher at the school had heard the shots and the school was locked down to protect students and staff.

The shooting only needs to take place near the school to make it on the list, and by the way this was the only gun-related injury in March on that list.
I haven't left the tech industry per se, but have had a good career using my programming skills without ever being employed as a programmer. I work for a company that makes measurement equipment, and am in kind of an "architect" and R&D role, so I use programming for everything but actual code that ships to a customer.

Something I kind of like about the hardware side, is that you're forced to keep at least one foot on the ground. Real physics problems are a good source of real business problems because you can't wish them away, and mother nature will tell you if your stuff works or not.

Granted, I'm not rich. I'll never see the kinds of salaries that get thrown around for programmers at the big five.

I've read a lot of the posts here, about the headaches of programming in a modern setting, and the ethical issues spanning a large swath of the "tech" industry. At one time I thought that I'd encourage my kids to get into coding, and I'd still do so, but they are aware of what the culture is like these days, and I'm not sure the money is a big enough attraction for them to jump through the hoops. Also, I can't honestly say that it's career worthy, given the level of attrition and the specter of age discrimination.

One of them is easing her way into coding anyway, because it's fun, and I always guessed that she might have a bent for it. I'm inclined to let her do it as a hobby without pushing her to make a career of it.
Great write up on a vaguely understood job.

I would add, at a larger company, the director also takes on a lot of the burden of organizational navigation/representation.

They did two independent assays so I would think the false positives rate should be far below 1% - certainly the authors seem to think so.

Secondly if they were false positives, I would expect them to be randomly distributed. Not concentrated in the affluent capital city, and not solely in the second cohort with none in the early march cohort (as you would predict if exponential growth is occurring).
I use my EarPods with headphone plug on a number of devices. The one with the Lightning connector is only useable with Apple devices, so this is again a vendor lockin. This has to stop.

Matcha, a better way to swap tokens
I love driving, and thought I'd never give it up until my car died. Now that I've been without one in Vancouver for over a year, it's just not financially sensible to get one for the occasional fun I'd have. Certainly, the sense of freedom is great, but good public transport for $100/month is way better. Renting a car fills the gaps I think so far. It's also super not worth the hassle to maintain and park.
That’s an unfair conclusion. Those examples were pretty specific and I, at least, see no reason to generalize (except maybe the insurance one), except perhaps along the lines of “serving exploitative monopolies is bad”
The biggest problem I see with being anti-gun, isn’t the desire to have a less fearful or violent society.

It’s that anti-gun positions generally are not at all anti-gun they are anti-private individual, but happy for the state to use guns, and thus to be the sole arbiter of who is defended and who is defenseless.

I picked up a Tamron Adaptall 55B 500mm f8 two and a half years ago. They were produced from 1979-1983 and sold new for about $400 as best I can tell.

The big difference from contemporary Samyang and Rokkinon catadioptrics is it's really long focus throw. It's about 350 degrees from 1.5m to infinity. At 500mm even f8 is shallow. Hyper-focal distance is over a kilometer on a crop sensor.

Even with a 2x teleconverter (1000mm f16/t22) it's less than a kilogram so it's easy to walk around hand holding and throwing it in the bag is not a major commitment.

Like any other lens it's a compromise. I live with it's technical shortcomings because it provides a specific capability to make images I would not make otherwise. In theory, it's a choice between lenses based on technical specifications. In practice it's a choice between making image with the catadioptric and no image at all. The images that would not exist otherwise exist because I can see in 500mm prime before I raise the camera and when my eye hits the viewfinder I'm not making a "well maybe I can crop it" compromise.
Yeah I really don't get the desire to do unixey development on Windows. Boot up a VM and SSH into it, if you really must have Windows. It's not like you have to buy a license to use Linux. I keep struggling to understand what WSL brings to Windows. First it was a totally incomplete distro, and now it's just a fucking VM. Seems like a gimmick more than anything.

Virtualbox, HyperV, etc will all allow you to access your Windows files on the guest OS. If that doesn't work, just set up an SMB share and map it. Why all the complication? Does clicking one button to install a distro really serve anybody? Why do you want to use the fucking awful Windows Update mechanism to update your kernel? Updating the kernel in Linux is so fast and easy...

You learn so much more about Linux by running Linux. Why are we trying to abstract that away? I think it's Microsoft's desperation to keep devs from continuing to jump to MacOS and Linux.
The real issue here is simply that the French - ALL French - are thee (notice I said thee) laziest bunch of crybabies I have ever seen. I hope that amazon slow rolls the country to a clamorous outburst.
There was a writer on Sam Harris' podcast (I think Matt Taibbi in this episode[1]) who said he was having a really hard time getting interest in any article that wasn't about Trump. Interest virtually disappeared in anything else. The 24/7 reality TV show is what gets attention and it's easy to produce.

So depressing.

> I understood that these were separate accounts in separate systems

That's not what I'm seeing in any of the examples discussed in this thread. What I'm seeing is one account which started out as a personal account, then the person added their work email to it so they could get access to their employer's data through that account--instead of creating a separate work account under their work email.

Now their "personal" account isn't just personal any more; they have given their employer a means of controlling it, since their employer controls their work email. And then they have problems down the road. The solution to those problems is to never attach an email you don't control to an account you want to have sole control over.
