I used to take week long trips to Maine with my dad to learn to make furniture. Those were some of the most relaxing and restorative weeks I've ever experienced. 8+ hours of physical work, go home and shower. Then walk around the downtown or go hiking (skip the shower in that case). Eat out or cook dinner, read a book. Never touched a computer, and minimally used my phone (more on the last trip because I'd just started the relationship which is now a marriage). And I only used the phone for communicating with specific individuals (close friends, family) not mindless web browsing and games.
Apple and Microsoft also operate in China.
Thanks for your great response. I’ve often considered doing something like this.

I wonder if there is a way to accomplish many of these things while still carrying your phone? For example, what if your phone took 5 minutes to unlock? And didn’t give notifications until you unlocked it?

Just a thought.
Good timing! Only today I was following these instructions to install 64 bit Fedora on a RPi 4B, booting from a USB 3 drive:

(Unfortunately I didn't get to the end because my ancient spinning-rust USB drives take up a bit too much power to work reliably without a powered USB hub, so now I have to wait for some SSD-based USB drives to be delivered.)
I have a more recent model (Harmony Elite) so I guess there's only one way to find out...
I think the same can be said about both political ideologies in the US.

Definitely. So much this, that I wonder if "both" is even the right word? So much sound and fury, and somehow Congress votes nearly unanimously to give rich people trillions in response to a pandemic, while doing nothing about health care. Somehow we're spending $750B on the military every year, more than the next fifteen nations combined, with our increase this year dwarfing Russia's total spending. Somehow in the coming election we have a confused loudmouth old man from the urban northeast who likes draft deferments, non-consensual digital penetration, and criminal-panic race baiting, running against Trump.

Source control is well worth the learning curve. Git is harder to learn than most, though. I hear Mercurial is easier to learn; maybe give it a try?
That's true, but in this case their actions are to promote competition, and increasing competition in an area where it was arbitrarily suppressed is likely to benefit consumers.

Whether they are doing it for us or not, we are likely to benefit through reduced store fees, and thus reduced cost of goods in the store, if they succeed.
I'd like to know too. On Wireshark I saw that Facebook and Amazon are both involved in my computer somehow despite my never using those services. So I too want ab answer to this question.

The fact that the list of exceptions exists at all implies that the US recognizes the paradox of tolerance, it just happens that the bar for intolerable speech in the US is lower than elsewhere. But American freedom of speech still doesn't meet the bar you set in your earlier comment. I'm still not allowed to stand on a soapbox at the town square and organize a mob to kill the President.

No one is actually replicating the mass of research, they are trying to replicate highly cited results. Of those its half.

The vast majority of social science research is unreplicable, primarily because it uses dramatically under-powered association modelling to make causal claims. It's dressed-up astrology.

I'm not sure about React's capability with this, but Vue can very easily run with no build stage. You can load Vue from a CDN and use a couple lines of JS to point it at a DOM element in your app. Then you can write a plain JS Vue object (what goes inside the <script> tags in a .vue file), and all this logic will apply inside the element you pointed it at. You can also write components, although that gets a little clunky without a build stage.

This has allowed me to do things like create Vue-based tools in a locked-down corporate environment where I was not able to install Nodejs on my machine.

I'd really like to hear the feedback from those in AI-complete or cognitive science research about Blindsight and especially Watts' notes [1], and if we could implement "merely" sentient AI with no consciousness, or if sentience backed by human-capacity reasoning and learning somehow lead to sapience. Because Watts makes an effective argument with his copious bibliography that "only" sentience can Accomplish A Hell Of A Lot.

Could a "merely" sentient software-driven but not conscious/self-aware robot be built that washes my dishes / cutlery and puts them away, keeps my permaculture garden tended/weeded, separates recyclables, washes, hang dries when feasible / conventional-dries when not, folds, puts away clothes / towels / fabric products, dusts, vacuums, puts away clutter, etc.?

Funny, I was thinking the exact opposite. It’s the perfect way to isolate China from the rest of the world, and unless they start going after allies then I’ll be cheering them on.

This is also why 40%-Tencent-owned Epic Games have been attacking Apple non-stop ever since they purposely got themselves banned from the App Store to mount a PR lawsuit campaign to try to force Apple to allow third-party app installations, which coincidentally happened right after Trump signed an executive order that would ban Tencent’s WeChat.
That example code is quite readable though. Are there any languages that make math more readable? Even purpose build code like matlab is about the same.

Will power don’t really work that way. Studies show it is an exhaustible resource and if you’re using it all day to fight of pulling your phone out of your pocket, you won’t have it for anything else you do in your day (and you’ll STILL probably pull your phone out!)

The people with the best will power have organized their lives so that they don’t need will power.
> The band gap of the semiconductor determines the wavelength of the light created. The thing about LEDs is that their wavelength is fixed by the material. If you want a different wavelength, you generally need a different material. Designing materials is hard, which is why the blue led got the nobel prize a few years ago.

> The type of material for UV LED is AlGaN, which will have a layer of aluminum grown on top of GaN on either Sapphire or SiC substrate. Aluminum as metal is conductive, but on AlGaN it is not. To get to a far UV band like 222nm, high density of aluminum needs to grow, which becomes non-conductive. You would need to compensate it with extremely high voltage current to generate really low level of wattage, let alone all the heat it generates. So there is no commercial vitality to it. That's the reason the whole industry on 222nm is on excimer light.

reclaim ai looks like a really great tool! I just have skimmed through the landing page, but from what I understand is you still have to switch context even after using a slack integration. Teams are split in sooo many tools these days, that switching context is sometimes that big of a overhead that people may choose to avoid it. Plus most importantly, never claimed that using remoty is the ONLY way you can communicate your schedule on the fly.

So, ATAK already does this with pretty good success [0] but it generally works best with full connectivity.

You can deploy it over mesh technology for places that don't have Internet connectivity, and then backhaul the data to a monitoring center.

Of course it has those LEO/MIL ties which might really be holding it back.

I don't have a strong opinion, I'm not really active on either platform. I have an account on FB, but never actively used it.

From what I read, it appears to me that Twitter is more outspoken about their policies (which are also stricter than FB's) but gives a bit more lenience to people politically aligned with their employees. FB's approach seems to be to have fewer rules but apply them more consistently, and not care as much about their employees' political ideology (which might also explain why FB is massively profitable and Twitter is not).

Twitter feels less like a neutral platform than Facebook, but I wouldn't say that they hand-pick who's allowed to post (and what they can post) either, so they're also not a publisher. I don't know anyone that was ever banned from FB, but I know a few people who were banned from Twitter, which might suggest that Twitter enforces their rules more, but on the other hand, my impression is that Twitter brings out fundamentalist aggressiveness in people, so that may lead to more bans as well.
> They’re able to hire the best.

Certainly not. Out of the best programmers that I know personally, roughly half feel very strongly about Apple limiting their rights to tinker with their hardware. So I would assume that there are lots of people that Apple would like to hire, but they just don't like Apple anymore.

And that's where the question of empathy and compassion comes in.

As a random white dude, the "pain" I face by dealing with problems around these name changes is completely minimal and trivial when compared to the emotional pain they cause people in certain groups that actually have a lived experience of oppression.

Regardless, I do agree that if there is crazy scrambling and short timelines to change these names, that's a problem in your org. There should not be reckless urgency to get this done; it should be done just as any other major change should be: with planning and risk assessments. Where I work, we are doing it slowly and with an eye toward not causing downtime. If your org is not doing that, then I agree that you have a valid complaint. But this complaint should be directed at the bad process, not at the work itself.
Scanned the paper too with sci hub. Nothing remarkable.

But we should be dismissive of any new results from psychology, it just doesn't have systems in place to validate claims. There is some cool stuff in psychology that has been replicated 20 times, across different cultures, and over time. But the chances of a headline psychology paper being true are, generously, 5%.

To be far to the authors, they are in a bit of a bind. In order to get their Phd, and progress in their academic career they have to do "original" research.

For psychology for the last 40 years, this means do stuff like this. Get cohorts together and test claims. When one is statistically significant, publish. They really didn't have much of a choice other than drop their career. They are probably nice people who just want to teach college classes. Misinforming people is an unintended side effect and more an indictment of academia than of them.
Sounds like murder, at least in some jurisdictions (with felony murder laws.)
Thank you. I’ve wanted to start using Solidworks for a long time. Just could never justify the cost. If you can’t export other formats that’s a big negative.

Azure and Oracle were who I had in mind. I think I recall Google's sales team promising it Real Soon Now (i.e. as soon as a federal agency demanded it).

I share your experience regarding public cloud's misunderstanding of HPC applications. It's great for the bioinformatics crowd and such but once you need to run nwchem or cp2k you need an interconnect that works.

Now I'm disappointed to see that even if SDR turns out to be a good solution, it's so far AWS-only and deliberately opaque so they can screw with it without telling the customer.

All part of the bad pattern we're stuck in, where vendors big enough to offer computing at scale don't understand supercomputing, and supercomputing experts get bought and blended into the background without ever scaling up to competitiveness. Shame HP Cloud got canned before HPE bought Cray.
C++ Crash Course: A Fast-Paced Introduction
Culling down notifications was a life-changing action for me. Like you, I turned off almost all notifications.

My only notifications were texts/calls from people that depended upon me (my wife, my parents, my best friends). Interacting with apps and my phone in general after that became something either I chose or chose not to do. My phone was no longer an algorithm or other person controlling me, but instead a useful tool.

This is obviously a luxury that I am able to work and live like this, but I would encourage everyone to turn off any notifications they can and see how they feel after a week or month like that, then revisit and turn off more if possible.

I would also say that some form of control is still required. Whether that is self-control, technological control, or control via absence. I struggled a lot with whether I should delete Reddit from my phone to make sure I don't end up in an abyss of lost time. Eventually I settled on moving it a ridiculous number of empty screens over by itself in an unusual spot. If I want to open Reddit now, it is a very deliberate action that gives me time to ask myself "you sure?" but also doesn't take away that option of my life.
In the UK most of the banks offer a shariah compliant account to customers. I know LLyods TSB and HSBC do this. Your account basically does not include any interests and you are provided with a contract that explains how this is shariah compliant.

> But suggesting this is a greater risk to developers, when their actions are often causing greater risks to end users?

"Risk" is not a unit of measure. "Risk" is not a fungible thing.

You're using the word "risk" to let you compare to very disparate concepts and say "see users are important too!"... except no one is saying they're not.

This is a conversation with a ton more nuance than that.

I've said it more than once here, the problem isn't the privacy protection features Sign in with Apple, it's Apple's forcing it.

Google and FB never forced anyone their logins to compete, they made them easy to integrate, added value for the user.

At most Google gave their option a fancy UX when used on their platform, and if Apple had limited themselves to that it still would have been a great option and likely gained a lot of traction very quickly.

The problem is, Apple doesn't want to have to compete the way everyone else does. The fact their option is good for my privacy is great... but in no way does it let me excuse their behavior.

This Epic Games row should be showing that, Apple's feature isn't anti-user but here we see at some point they likely did hold it over a developer's head only to walk that back after getting press coverage.

Right now devs should be able to walk away from this option and explore other privacy centric login approaches that don't extend Apple's grasp around their necks to other platforms

Because unlike most of Apple's initiatives, this one reaches well past the platform they control. All your platforms have to support Sign in with Apple for its users to log in by the very nature of a social media login (short of fancy cross-referencing tricks). So forcing it on one platform forces it on all platforms

-

The irony is of your risk talk, by the way, is in the fact mobile apps social logins are not what lets FB and Google track users in any egregious way. They're much more self-contained than on a website where the security model lets them do a ton of tricky things with nothing more than a like button showing...

Instead that would be their absolutely massive advertising libraries that hook into apps at the deepest levels and link users them across multiple apps. Apple was going to do something about it until they weren't (for now™):

https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2020/09/facebook-complains-a...

Developers very willingly integrate those, and Apple fully allows it.

Ironically, if Apple is so concerned about privacy, you'd think Epic Games would have their reduced cuts, anything that lets devs make money outside the ad ecosystem that represents the vast majority of privacy risk.

But alas, Apple plays privacy to have an angle.

The day they announced they were going back on the iOS 14 privacy change, which easily would have one of the biggest attacks on ad networks they've ever made...

They also released this ad: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-l61NE0eqkw

Funny how most of that "oversharing" is driven by the very ad machinery they bowed out to.

Please someone correct me if I'm wrong. It seems like you can only implement React using the full "modern JS stack", i.e. Node/Webpack/...

So if you want to use it on one page, it's a hard sell to set up all that infrastructure (and document it for the team)

On some sites I've used Vue.js by simply adding a <script> tag with vue.min.js.

On sites already using Gulp or similar, it's pretty simple to incorporate the Vue bundle and use it on one or a few pages.
This. The EMR does go down from time to time. We still have paper order pads around so that things can get done. Its annoying AF. You have to fax things to radiology to get a scan. You have to walk to pharmacy to get meds. But, the system worked before computers (which wasn't that long ago in many hospitals) and it works without them today.

That said , the first time I had to use paper I felt like I had no idea what I was doing, because a lot of the EMR defaults aren't there to prompt you. So you have to specify a 'start time' for a medication, but in the EMR now is the default, so I didn't think about it as anything mandatory.
Common mistake
This sentence could be true with each political faction once an entity gets to control the narrative and decide to see the views of some of the 'hardcore XYZ supporters' which then is used to reflect on how irrational an entire group of supporters are. This entity is the media companies.

Replace XYZ with EU, Brexit, Biden, Trump, and in the UK: Boris Johnson, and Jeremey Corbyn.

> Watch the latest Triumph bit from the Colbert show to see the mentality of Trump supporters.

It's a stretch to speak in complete absolutes here.
> Some command-line parsers will auto-complete partial options

This sort of behaviour is tortuous, and should be against international laws.

Where _adding_ new, unrelated, options to the interface now changes or breaks the behaviour of existing calling scripts. Plus you never know which abbreviations are in use in the wild.

It makes it virtually impossible to maintain a stable interface without just freezing it long-hand.

I found this in Perl code; I believe it might be the default behaviour in the standard parser? Our developer really did like the philosophy that "the user may want 50 different ways to express the same thing".
