Phones will suspend and kill applications that aren't actively used; with iOS this has always been the case (you can't have ANYTHING running in the background on iOS unless it's navigation, calls, or music, that is you need to request special exemption from it). It might be possible on Android but even there the phone will slumber while in your pocket.

Phones are not servers.

Maybe independent grocery stores are the wrong model for a globally connected world? It's not that they are the producers of anything they offer, even if branded as such.

I often think that they are the source of endless waste and inefficiency, because they are working against each other and none of them stocks everything.

Personally I'd prefer fewer larger ones which stock really everything in every variety, instead of many smaller ones which don't.

This are really so called first world problems, it's still a cornucopia, though one could argue about the nutritional/health implications also. But again, 1st world problem.

Battery usage would probably depend on how frequently requests have to be served?

Discoverability and routing is certainly a question too. Something like ngrok could help there, with good network sandboxing on the user's local device.

There'd no doubt be times when the site would become popular enough that a single smartphone wouldn't be suitable and load-balancing the requests could be required.
As someone who used all of those notes:

1. You can embed Airtables. Combine that with a Markdown editor and you have a powerful note taking device similar to Notion.

2. Public forms. Basically you can turn the table into a form and the data users enter into it become rows in an Airtable. Not achievable with Trello/Notion.

3. It has a functioning API, unlike Notion. I can add/retrieve/modify data via scripts/IFTTT/Zapier.

4. Org charts and Gantt charts.
There's plenty of services that try and operate under the 'freemium' model, but they're often pretty restrictive, and website hosting is often bottom of the barrel scraping lvl when it comes to that.

NaNs make sense in number-crunching scenarios, but they absolutely don't make sense in anything even remotely resembling storing/communication. Worse than NULLs, really: at least those are equal to themselves.

I personally think perhaps having two kinds of float/double, one for arithmetics, with full IEEE754-compliant semantics, and another for general-purpose code, where NaNs would be just normal values that you can compare with themselves and get "true", would make sense.
I agree. It's more of a cult-type church than a mainstream church. That said, I think it's being driven by some of the same socio-spiritual needs.

Many of the comments, while meaning well, are way off the mark in my opinion. This isn't about coming up with another solution to make friendlier and less privacy-destructive alternatives: People want zero-friction and these companies give it to them.

Yes, they have. It doesn’t matter if an employee is twice as efficient if their injury rate is twice as high. If you are going to work and have twice the risk of injury, that’s a very bad thing. This is about injuries per employee, not injuries per item picked.

Theoretically, a system could be designed where all safety standards were ignored and productivity was n times more per employee, with lower injuries per item picked, but would result in astronomical injury rates. If you were an Amazon employee, would you want to go to work where there was a 1/10 chance per day you’d be injured? A 10x more efficient warehouse employee isn’t making 10x more money, so they are seeing increased risk for no personal gain.
GitLab team member here - thanks for sharing! This is great.

> There is a risk of contamination in a lab as well

Sure, but if it happens you can detect, determine what the problem was with the process, and fix it. With a slaughterhouse, you can reduce levels of contamination, certainly, but eliminating it is probably impractical; a certain risk is inherent to the process.

> and to be honest I don't understand why this kind of food is not subject to clinical trials

Right now, lab grown meat is effectively not commercially available, and being treated as a weird experimental thing. If it does become commercially available, it will presumably be subject to significant regulation.

> Some people(at least in the EU) try to avoid food resulted from livestock injected with hormones or other syntetic chemicals

Generally growth hormones for farm animals are _illegal_ in the EU. And you could reasonably expect similar rules to come in for any synthetic meat that might be available.
> I may want to deal with 100s of providers to host my resources (blog, images, video, code) and I'd need to use an intermediary if I wanted to be efficient about it

Why multiple providers? With no-features data storage, S3 can easily provide that without an intermediary and in a pretty well automated way.

> Would those prices not go up if the currency was undergoing deflation?

Unless you're in a country with very unstable currency, the exchange rate change will be very slight. Sia changed ~60x over the last 2 years, which is significant.

The price of course won't change during the contract, but what happens after is not trivial to plan for.

Toilets are political which is why certain places have moved to uni-sex toilets.
Unpublishable is a strange description for a concept that was intentionally made the core feature for the system.

You have to applaud people that spent decades telling us that climate change didn't exist, only to switch their stance to "well it's too late, there's nothing we can do now" once the evidence of climate change became too obvious in our day to day.
My take on it: Most LGBTQ+ rights issues are almost entirely settled and agreed on anyways at the greater societal level. You'd be hard pressed to find an appreciable amount of people that rationally want to take away normal, everyday rights from LGBTQ+ individuals. Sure there are exotic and controversial discussion points (E.g. child transitioning, odd bathroom laws, etc) but no normal business touches those issues with anything but a ten-foot pole and vague "messages of support". Brexit, on the other hand, is probably a 50-50 split within the overall population in terms of support and is an arguable/defendable position that rational people can and do make.
8 years ago when I was a kid and I tried to record Minecraft videos, the options for screen capture where awful. The best option at the time seemed to be Fraps.

In C++, the snippet of code:

double x;
double y = std::nan("");
double z = std::fmax(x, y);

is undefined behaviour. So the current transformation in LLVM looks correct to my C++-coloured eyes. (Incidentally, std::fmax(x, nan) is supposed to return x, but even if it was defined to return nan then this would still be undefined behaviour, because passing an uninitialised variable to a function is undefined behaviour even if the parameter is ultimately ignored.)

Could someone explain a practical situation where the listed transformation causes incorrect compilation of some code in a programming language (maybe not the right term but I mean as opposed to LLVM IR)?
> iPhones got this only in 2020, when Android had this since the first version

It's not a technical achievement(that took Apple 10 years to do), it's a design choice(that Apple made then and now). It can have multiple motivations that we can speculate on, would have been great to have someone from Apple to give us some perspective.

>iPhone owners are willing to spend $28 for a icon pack, a very nice one, but still an icon pack.

There are multiple games that make billions of $ by simply selling cosmetic items, this is very similar. It also has a a version in the physical world, people pay a premium for stuff with a special visual design and no functional advantage all the time. Handbags, clothes, cars, jewellery, movie merchandise(like Darth Vader helmets etc), houses, paint, books, computers - you name it, people actually pay for design.
> that's one of those "you're either with us or against us" type of deal - which is not the right way to deal with anything imho.

I think it's more like saying you can't truly be unbiased. Try as you might, it's arguably impossible to truly be unbiased when making decisions an interacting with people. Journalists try their best, by presenting "just the facts" but even that is tough as which facts you chase down and which you deem important is colored by your biases. The flavor of words you write is also thus colored. I know they go through lots of training to account for this, and the truly great journalists we know of are mostly those that achieved some measure of success here, thus earning the respect of their peers and those that they interview.

So, you can try to be apolitical, but it's perhaps one of those impossible goals, because our political views are a form of bias, and if highly trained journalists still have trouble with this, everyone else will as well.

Companies are change agents, even if it's just to get people to use their product over somebody else's. But in Coinbase's case, it's more than that. They're trying to change the way the world exchanges goods and money. That would be a big change to how we all live, and thus it touches on politics in many places. As far as Coinbase is concerned, this makes sense. Many people are finding that just "having a job to collect a paycheck" is not fulfilling enough. They want to change the world as part of their jobs too. So they find jobs that align with their views. Awesome for them.

> you can't have an encapsulated component that combines user input with validation that comes from the business logic.

Why not? On UI layer I can always do:

var response = bl.sendMessage("account.validate", accountData);
if( response && response.valid) ...
else if( response && !response.valid )

Again, we are doing the messaging for years now, AJAX/REST are messaging protocols ...

I am not saying that this is the only way...

In Sciter you can use custom native UI components extending existing DOM - they can handle event, do custom painting, etc. And you can design those components in Rust, C, Go or whatever you like.
I think it was clear from context that I meant fission reactors designed for electricity production. These reactors are significantly different in design from reactors used for producing weapons grade, highly enriched fissile material, and required significant investment in its own right to develop safe, commercial reactors.

Not to dive too far into the politics or semantics of this, but I feel like OP meant "hunting" rifles to mean "bolt-action" or "single-shot" type rifles.

Also, OP didn't actually say anything about semi-automatic rifles, at all. So it's really a nothing statement to make that distinction; I guess I took the bait, though.

For most people, the debate about "assault rifles" seems to be a misunderstanding about the language being used by the other side. For people who label semi-automatic rifles as "assault rifles", they think of hunting rifles as small capacity, bolt-action rifles. Whereas folks like you do not make that distinction.

It's so weird to see that conversation play out, and realize that neither side understands the most basic definitions of the other. It's super common in gun debates. And very, genuinely strange.

Who cares what people think about you when you are eating. As long as you are not being disgusting in public, do what floats your boat. Perhaps you close your eyes because you really really want to enjoy that taste :). I don't think it is weird.

Next time someone points that out, just say "Yea I like to really feel the taste and when I close my eyes, I have no distraction". or get a T-shirt that says "I close my eyes when eating. Get over it".
>There is very strong demand for old MacBooks because they last.

No, by "old Macbooks" I mean "including current and last year models". Not that only past macbooks had large resale value...

>Planned obsolescence is needed to ensure that people upgrade.

In the Apple world, upgrading is part of the idea and appeal -- you're not supposed to be running a 10 year old laptop or 2-3 versions old OS. The OS is not about backwards compatibility, it's about moving forward faster...

That's part of the appeal of the thing, and part of the reason for the extra control.

I don't want legacy 10/20 year old apps and frameworks to be supported, I don't want apps that don't take advantage of the latest frameworks, hardware and OS features, and so on...

If "compatible with 30 year old programs" is a desirable feature, there's always Windows.

> we should remember for how long classic Neural Networks was NOT overly successful

We already knew in the late80s/early 90s that neural networks were universal function approximators, and there was an era in the late 80s/early 90s where neural nets were VERY successful (or at least: very influential among the ML circles of their day). Sure, they were dismissed once kernel machines came about, simply because those had more to offer at the time. But it would be a mistake to compare HTM with classical neural networks: neural nets were always known to do something sensible and to "work", even if they might not be the state-of-the-art method.

In stark contrast, HTM has been "out there" for over long a decade by now, with (as far as I know) not a single tangible result, neither theoretical nor practical. They never managed to hobble together even a single paper with credible results, even though they came out with it right at the time where connectionist approaches became popular again (yes, there were papers, but there's a reason they only got published in 2nd or 3rd tier venues). From where I stand, it's a "hot air" technology that somehow seems to stay afloat because the person behind it know how to write popular science books. Everyone researcher I know who tried to make HTM work came away with the same conclusion: it just doesn't.
