I hear you, I used to feel the same. I was a heavy phone user once and that's why I got the Pixel. A lot of things mattered to me then that just don't now. I could almost get by with a flip phone, but there are still a few things I like about smart phones:

- I like to use my phone to check bathy charts while I'm out free diving. In a water proof case, a phone is a huge asset for finding interesting spots to dive. I don't really want to buy a dedicated device for this. I can just hook it to my float and it's there for exploration/emergencies/location beacon for family/etc.

- When I forget to charge my watch, it's nice to have GPS handy for tracking a run or ride

- It's really nice to be able to do a decent code review from a phone if I'm out and about. I wouldn't do this with critical code or large changes, but it's nice to give someone some extra eyes without committing to sitting at the desk or bringing my computer places

- I have ADHD and having a full-fledged reminder/task box is a god send. I'd be lost without todoist

I could do this all with any modern smart phone, but I went with the best 'bang for the buck' model I could find. I don't think I'll miss anything from Android.

They could add a "lottery" element to it. A less evil implementation of that would be to ask the performer what size stack they want and just keep a list of the latest n requests (or requests up to m days old). Automate a reply "sorry you weren't able to get a message from $celeb, blah". You'd need heavy filtering to avoid abuse (automated re-requests).
Haven’t read the whole proposal, but some concerns that stand out to me are: 1 - impact on DNS system performance; and 2 - what infrastructure does this proposal rely upon?

> why it is that Scott Alexander feels like he's in danger

I think Scott's fear (rightly or wrongly) isn't that his own opinions will be his downfall, but that those politically on his own side will attack him for providing a platform to the enemy. I think he sees himself in the same position as Steve Hsu, who was just forced out of his position at Michigan State despite Scott's attempt at public support. The were various criticisms of Hsu, but the main ones seemed to be that he provided a platform for people with unacceptable opinions (Stefan Molyneaux, Ron Unz). I don't think these two are active on SSC, but given anonymous handles, they might turn out to be. Others with bad reputations (Steve Sailer comes to mind) post there civilly, and are treated with respect. I think indisputably there exist some people who consider this to be grounds for "cancellation".

> What form does this supposed cancellation take?

The same as pushed out Steve Hsu: public pressure by a small number of people against his employer for his promotion/tolerance/association with someone who holds less socially acceptable opinions than he does. Scott's view (and mine) is that it's better to have open discussion of unpopular opinions so that they can either be refuted or become accepted. Others think that the ideas are too dangerous to be discussed, and discussion needs to be prevented lest they become more widespread. Some of those who hold this second belief have shown themselves to be effective at pressuring employers to fire those who they choose as their targets.

> one thing we can't really debate at this point is whether Scott Alexander is "out"

I think you are viewing things with more of a binary computer security point-of-view than is appropriate: in normal life obscurity does make a difference. Making up numbers, at this point, 99.99% of the world has never heard of Scott by either his real name or his pen name. Of the remaining .01%, 1 out of 100 know him only by his real name as a local psychiatrist, 98 out of 100 know him by only by his pen name as a blogger, and 1 knows and associates both identities. A prominent NYT article might double the number of people who associate his identities, and he thinks this might double his risk of having professional problems. Is he wrong? Maybe, but I can see why he has the fear even if he thinks his beliefs and approach are overall good for the world.

> You can think it's good while I think it's very bad.

I think this thread has run its course, but perhaps in some future one (if it comes up) you could explain what you think made SSC "very bad". Like HN, I feel it had problems as a community, but was overall a good thing: it enabled better direct communication between people who otherwise communicate only through garbled media proxies. Is this the problem itself, or do you agree that this is a a positive but think it is outweighed by something larger?
I look at lots of repeaters. I'm a repeater engineer for our city radio club. Not one has any encrypted links, unless you're talking about echolink/allstar/D-Star/YSF, in which the audio is transmitted via the internet through various protocols to other gateways, repeaters, reflectors, conferences, and end users.

Even the DTMF tones to control repeaters aren't encrypted. Some repeaters do obscure the re-transmission of the DTMF codes by muting the output, but this is legal.

No if you are filing a lawsuit you can’t just “contact them” the same way a customer can.

You have to serve them pursuant to the law, which generally for businesses means serving their registered agent. In order to find the registered agent you will need the legal name of the business running the infringing website (you will need the state of incorporation as well).

> (4) sooner or later companies will learn that SJW-ing is at worst negative and at best irrelevant

I think this is pretty plainly untrue.

If you mean at best irrelevant for the company, that’s certainly not true — friends of mine (and myself!) absolutely make purchasing decisions based on the moral reputation of the company.

If you mean for the world, this also seems patently false to me. You can’t tell me that constantly seeing ads featuring gay couples as happy families doesn’t have a measurable impact on normalizing and aiding acceptance.

> So the police decide what is and isn't legitimate communication

Who said that? In the end, it is still the judge who decides to dismiss (or not) a piece of evidence if it was aquired illegally.

The police must be able to investigate and creating a complete blind-spot to their investigation would make their work impossible.

> I don't think this is a cut and dried case where it's obvious the authorities were in the wrong

I think it's a cut and dried case where it's obvious that the authorities were in the right.

Why would handing evidence to your attourney make it legally disappear? If anything, it turns the attourney into an accomplice.
They do not avoid official contact. They avoid unofficial contact, such as that of FB directly approaching any domain owner they feel like without proving to a judge that there is reasonable grounds to file suit.

The same way you put your email address in a mildly obfuscated format instead of jim@cimpress.com. You don't want anyone or anything that comes across your bio having access to your email address without human intervention, or at least a degree of intelligence.

(Dev on Oni2)

We are adding Vim-style tabs as well (i.e. tabs are a view on to buffers, where a buffer can be any split etc as expected).

That said, you are right that a lot of people in Oni1 were interested in a "modern" (in heavy quotes there) way of doing tabs, where a split could have its own tabs etc, as is the way in VSCode etc.
If this were a chrome extension, I'd be down.
this happened to me last night. I never asked to install Edge, it was part of some automatic windows update.

Immediately after reboot, Edge goes fullscreen and pops up a unclosable modal window.

It also puts an icon on the desktop and pinned itself to the start menu.

Attempting to remove Edge via powershell results in errors and warnings about it being a required system component.

So...a bit more than chrome.
I don't envy you... And as a software dev you don't want to be spending hours on legal stuff either.

Specifically to Ruby (therefore, this is not a generic answer), switch/case has syntax for "short form" expressions, that make the conditionals very coincise, by requiring only the variable part of what would otherwise be, repeating whole expressions.

Making an example is simpler than formulating a defition :-):

case instance
when MyClass...
when MyOtherClass...
...
end

which would otherwise be:

if instance.is_a?(MyClass)
...
elif instance.is_a?(MyOtherClass)
...
...
end

if you consider that this has support for many other expressions (regular expressions, ranges...), you'll see a very coincise construct for the purpose.
A couple decades ago laptops & smartphones were still out of reach for students and most business people didn't need them either, so they were much less popular.

Land lines were still almost universal, even though they have always been somewhat expensive. The Bell telephone monopoly was required to subsidize residential lines by charging higher prices for business customers.

Broadband internet was still uncommon and dial-up was still spreading fast. By 2001 most Windows PCs had built-in phone modems easily sending and recieving faxes as files over any convenient land line wall jack without need for a fax machine, using the Windows XP Faxing & Scanning routine not much differently than back under W9x, when laptops were much more rare and usually needed peripheral modems.

A scanner was only needed for faxing pieces of paper which you did not have in a printable Windows file format, and a Windows printer was only needed when you wanted pieces of paper from the fax files you received.

Printing apps, like Word, Excel, or Acrobat could select Windows fax output as if it was a printer and it would call your target phone number and print on their machine, retrying if the line was busy, and recalling at intervals if needed. Regardless if the target fax number had a real fax machine connected or another PC modem set for fax-receive mode.

Of course all of this was available for DOS before Windows became popular, using third party software, it's just the kind of thing office people wouldn't want to do without if the electronics is the least bit capable.

And the real smartphones, which were already disappearing before the arrival of iPhones and other touchscreen models, had built-in analog phone modems. When you connected the phone to your laptop using IR, USB or the later Bluetooth, then Windows drivers were installed including a virtual COM port. The modem in the phone would then connect to the PC COM port and behave similar to the first external phone modems, as the modems were designed to interace the COM port on the back of an IBM PC or mainframe to an ordinary telephone line.

Before cellular carriers offered a data plan you could still dial-up to AOL and get on the web to browse or email, or directly call or receive calls from fax machines. Anywhere you had cellular service and battery power.

As for Gravis, I would hope the old DOS drivers for Gravis joysticks of the '80's are still there in Windows for when you plug in a soundcard having an analog joystick/midi port. Naturally this had some of the most useful settings for non-Gravis joysticks . . .

Cmd + Up is similar in behavior to the macOS Home key behavior, but slightly different. On laptops (or any desktop keyboard with a Fn key), Home is Fn + Up. The differences are:

- Home (and Fn + Up) don't move your caret if you're in an editing context, except...

- Some apps have different behavior for Home than go-to-top. Typically these exceptions use the Windows behavior of go-to-start-of-line (obviously this does move your cursor).

Please no - that debate is an anachronism.

Apple simply can't create any kind of x86 chip whatsoever (at least if they plan to use it :) ) - they don't have an ISA license and likely won't ever be able buy one, because Intel doesn't sell.

Well, apart from outright buying AMD. Or Intel. Or both. :)

If you're just going to ignore the charts I posted what's the point? I already provided you with a chart that shows that, in fact, Sweden does not have exceptional all cause mortality. Not compared to its neighbors and not compared to previous years in Sweden. Yes, the chart is a month old, but if nothing exceptional is going on by May and covid deaths have steadily declined since[1] there really isn't a story here.

Euromomo data is preprocessed data and not suitable for analysis. Get the raw all cause mortality statistics (by age group if possible) directly from each country health agency, and use that instead.

It's actually a bit different - VSCode has a 'front-end' process and a 'back-end' process (the extension host).

The extension host is larger than just handling language services - it handles additional functionality, like source control, menus, language configuration - the full protocol is defined here: https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/blob/master/src/vs/workb...

We aim to integrate with that back-end extension host process - in other words, to support the `vscode` extension API surface, not just language support.

Because of the ubiquity and popularity of VSCode - the extensions tend to have significant investment and be of very high-quality, so we'd like to be able to leverage that wholesale.

No "finally" about it. Haskell must have had destructive updates for at least a couple of decades.

More than twice because each station has multiple platforms so you'd need more double the LEDs just for the stations (stations with more than one line would need a minimum of 4 times as many LEDs). Then you have to double that up for each tunnel too. Even with your revisions if you have a train arriving on one platform and leaving on another, which does actually happen (a lot!), then the PCB has no way of representing that data stream.

Ultimately the level of detail you're describing is not feasible with the aesthetic the designer was going for. This is one of those problems that appears much easier than it really is.

Plus, at risk of repeating myself, this is clearly intended to be more ornamental than it is a functional tool for locating carriages.
Totally concur; I've been giving myself a crash course in GIS as I ship for a house. Seems like a lot of GIS tools, although very flexible, are not built to handle a city's worth of fine-grained data. PostGIS is the only one who loves me!
So what this says, basically, that if comparing to the deaths and other effects from lockdowns on general population, given its age, covid deaths are to be divided by 5 or so, before even adjusting for age (I'd assume most would rather lose their 80ies than their 30ies).

Then you can consider even trivial DALY adjustments for e.g. starvation (at some point, it was expected to affect 130 million extra people, by some relevant UN body), unemployment, lack of "non essential" medical care (see estimates for excess cancer deaths from the last financial crisis due to lack of care), etc., and multiply by numbers affected.

Likewise, the degree of integration is kind of absurd and luxurious for me. I expected it to be a perk but it's quite a bit better than I thought it would be.

When I picked up my SE and signed in with my Apple ID it gave me access to all of my keychain and tons of other stuff I use frequently like photos and documents. Things I didn't realize I was missing on Android. I installed multiple apps and was automatically signed in! I didn't expect that. Wifi just works everywhere I've been with my MacBook. People near me on iPhones can have all kinds of things exchanged with minimum effort. Contacts, files, wifi passwords.

I know all of this works on Android too (kind of), but since I have a MacBook and an Apple ID I use a lot, my experience with an iOS is faaaar better than it was with Android.

I used to go days without touching my Pixel, but this iPhone is so much nicer to use and so much more useful that I carry it regularly and use it quite a bit. I'm really happy with it.
I know.

It doesn't bother me since I see that match/case is a whole different context, I know I'm matching, and have no reason to instanciate anything here.

But since Foo(a=1) looks like instanciation, it's obvious to me what it's supposed to match.

I think that's one of the things that motivated to:

- use new keywords, but existing ones like "as", nor symbols;

- force 2 levels of indentation despite the cost of it.

This makes it very clear, with little effort, that the context is completly different.

It will make scanning the code easy, and avoid confusion.
I don't buy the "we have GPT-3, therefore we may soon have artificial general intelligence" (AGI) notion.

AGI might happen tomorrow; it might happen in decades, in centuries, or never. GPT-3 is basically a straightforward scaling of GPT-2, but I see no evidence that simply scaling GPT-2 or GPT-3 will lead to AGI. The problem is we don't know what else is needed.
