Yeah it's a bit bifurcated. Internally there's a lot of coupling -- HTML embedded directly in the C code and whatnot. This could be resolved if tools could be built on top of fossil, but the CLI code uses `exit` everywhere which makes it impossible to use as a library. I think they made an incomplete attempt at a JSON API, but what you really need is a proper linkable library like libgit2.
People will apply anyway because so many requirements aren't.

I bought two of them and loved them for a couple years, at least for the content it opened up.

However casting was unreliable. I never figured it out but I remember posting on HN about it years ago and other people had the same complaint.

Then the YouTube app on my android phone would hang or crash. My Android phone kinda rotted after 4 years or so. I had a dedicated one for chromecast.

Now I just use a wireless keyboard and an Ubuntu box connected to the TV. Works quite well, I can get all the apps and content I want through the browser.

After decades of the single market, any EU country relies on at least a steady stream of freight trucks to keep its population fed, and fruit pickers have to be brought in seasonally from other countries, because otherwise all that produce will simply rot in the field, etc. Completely closing borders would simply not be feasible without years of preparation.

For us. It's been over for them for a while.
Note that 70+ years has an IFR of 5.4%. https://www.census.gov/prod/cen2010/briefs/c2010br-09.pdf says that in 2010 there were 308,745,538 Americans, 40,267,984 of which were over 65 and 12,435,263 in the 65-70 age bracket. That makes 70+ around 9% of the population, which means that expected deaths from people who are 70+ are an IFR for the general population of 0.49%.

That's the bulk of the deaths. Add in the other age groups and, if you do the numbers correctly, you should get close to my figure. (With a small difference because you're quoting updated numbers and I'm quoting figures that are a few months old.)
Yes. Australia copied NZ almost move for move (travel nearly completely banned - small handful of daily flights with quarantine, harsh lockdowns), and failed, primarily because Australia is too big.

They were able to eliminate covid in states of equivalent size as NZ, in effect achieving something just as impressive. But because the country is bigger, all it takes is a cluster in a single state to then propagate to others.

Australia is a pretty small country. In a country as big as the US it would be virtually impossible to eliminate without extreme levels of control over the population.
I'm honestly more disappointed that they didn't bring wireless charging or waterproofing to the actual midrange with those specs.

To be fair, I also could care less about the spec sheet. Given the screwy market segmentation caused by the 865, and the fact that new and substantial WiFi/Bluetooth/USB upgrades won't consistently hit devices for another few months, I've more or less written off 2020 as a gap year for anything high-end regardless, the way I should have the year that the 810 shipped.

In the meantime, what could be really interesting is the kernel - specifically, if this supports GKIs out of the box, and what comes out of the XDA crowd if it does. (They're not required to use in testing until device kernels begin moving to 5.4, but given that the Pixel line generally implements these kinds of architectural changes first as reference devices it would still be a safe bet I think.) This could lead to a lot of traction for projects like Halium, for instance.
Interesting, I wonder how it works out the speed of the non athletes like Boris Johnson!

I rarely use anything new because my work environment is holy, but I tried Kitty because it had a Unicode menu built-in. I like to send unicode smileys to friends on IRC. :)

Anyways here are my impressions after 1 month.

1. You have to transfer terminfo to all ssh servers because the kitty term does not exist there.

2. By default mouse selection with double click + drag to select multiple lines is not normal. I believe this could be fixed but I haven't figured out how yet. (I could not re-create this right now, maybe it was fixed in some recent upgrade)

3. Unlike gnome-terminal (my old default) it actually opens up to fullscreen if you used it in fullscreen mode last.

4. Unlike gnome-terminal I could immediately figure out how to make it open up a few default tabs like a session on start up.

5. Its CLI tools don't accept the same arguments when defining a session, as when using them outside of the session definition. This was barely documented.

Overall the impression is good because I'm still using it. I rarely use anything new this long if it has issues affecting my workflow.
A launcher for Android is somewhat similar to a desktop environment on Linux.
It is most definitely not just you. The disconnect between the team that created this product and the YouTube TV/Android TV/Stadia/Google Home teams just shows that the leadership at Google must be extremely poor. I don't blame the engineers and product managers for making a siloed product. It probably a fine product on it's own. But the failure to connect the dots and capitalize on the synergies across the org speaks to a big executive failure. What could have been a big push for monthly recurring revenue through both YouTube TV and Stadia with enticing package deals is instead just a $50 gadget. Why does Google even bother with consumer products and subscriptions any more? The only thing I can think of is these tiny projects in disparate areas are just there to supply panel data they can feed into their ad profile algos, just enough data to be statistically significant and only ever popular by accident.
If it was ever put on GitHub, Microsoft would take it down instantly. I don't think anyone would get away with filing a PR.

At the same time though, that would be hilarious. Someone is going to do it just so they can claim that they were the first person unauthorized by Microsoft to ever file a PR on Windows...
I think that's on Netflix, and I wouldn't be surprised if it is because Netflix won't agree to whatever privacy rules Apple stipulates. Other services are searchable in the TV app.

Given the amount of Netflix chatter my Pi Hole blocked from my Roku when I wasn't even using Netflix, data harvesting seems to be a big part of their operation.
More linear algebra should arguably be taught earlier. Of course it could be used to do calculus as well.
icat and diff programs are nice but I've never thought other terminals needed to print or scroll faster.
It's more that "why don't you use Github for sqlite" comes up six times a day, so at a certain point you have to explain why you use your own version control system. A lot of developers today know nothing other than Git and assume anything else is wrong by default.
Ok. But you have not read my post. Yes, they have energy but only recently. They skipped coal and gas and the industrialization that goes with it.
The Nexus line was named after the number of inches, not chronologically. Nexus 4 = 4 inches, Nexus 5 = 5 inches, Nexus 6 = 6 inches, Nexus 7 = 7 inches, Nexus 9 = 9 inches.

Newer versions within the same number of inches were dealt with by smacking some arbitrary letters like "X" and "P" and sometimes the year "(2013)" in the case of Nexus 7.

There is absolutely an objective to reduce the use of compute resources. Especially in the current era of AWS/google cloud where you pay $50 per core per month.

Companies care very much about resource usage past some amount of machines. They don't think in terms of power consumption or environmental footprint though, but in real dollars (the costs of hardware/cloud) that is highly correlated.

Kubernetes is the latest trend in spite of being an overcomplicated mess, precisely because it's an overcomplicated mess that can deploy and pack services more efficiently onto (less) resources.

I vehemently agree with your position. It's also worth mentioning (albeit anecdotal) their prompt and verbose support when/if necessary.
There's definitely some limitations, but once you know how to phrase queries in a way it understands them GA gets useful. You're not conversing with a person still you have to phrase the question right just like we all learned to do with search engines when they first came out.

For example I don't think reminders has geofencing at all so you're asking for something it just can't do. If you are just asking it to remind you of something at a certain time it will just do it no manual interaction required.

For the bathroom thing there's one leap that makes it tough, Google doesn't know if a place has a public restroom, at least it's not something they surface on Maps if they do, so to answer that it'd have to have had a manual thing added saying gas stations, rest stops, etc. generally have public toilets.

Yeah, but how are you supposed to release the data stored in the area and the owning class, if the destructor doesn't get called?

As an example (ignore possible compile errors),

// in mylib.h
namespace mylib {
template<class allocator = default_arena>
class ArenaString final {
public:
ArenaString();
~ArenaString();

// several String related methods
private:
ArenaAllocator<allocator> stringData;
};

// several utility functions
ArenaString* StringFactory() {
return new ArenaString();
}
}

// now on main.cpp
#include "mylib.h"

void myLeakyFunction()
{
auto strPtr = mylib::StringFactory();

// do something with strPtr

//oops, strPtr is now gone and ArenaString::~ArenaString() won't get called
}

Alternatively, which I think is the main point of your question, one could call something like myArena::clean() somewhere up the call stack to myLeakyFunction.

But then the question about class instances surviving the region as empty shells with a corrupt state in their stringData member data arises.

While this example is made on purpose to illustrate my point, on big code bases (specially with libraries that one doesn't have any kind of control) it can lead to bad code that prevents RAII patterns to work as expected.

Code that most developers on the team won't even realize it is there and probably will spend hours trying to find out what is wrong with the memory management.

This is standard in appropriate cases. The official survey of young people's drug taking in England says:

"The survey asks about awareness and usage of a fictional drug called Semeron. Responses to these questions provide a guide as to how much pupils are over-estimating so it is reassuring to see that in the 2018 survey only 24 pupils (0.2% of all pupils)admitted to taking Semeron which is in line with previous surveys and suggests that only a tiny minority of pupils maybe falsely admitting to drugs use. However, 1,717 pupils (13%) said they had heard of Semeron which suggests awareness of drugs could be over-estimated. Hence the majority of the tables in this report focus on drug usage rather than drug awareness."

This is really nice. How have you been hosting this? How well is fossil able to handle the traffic?

I've read so many articles about the advantages of static site generators and serverless implementations for blogs so that they are able to handle traffic and the insane amount of tooling around each of those concepts. It's so great to see a well crafted piece of software being able to take care of all that so seamlessly.

I'm a big fan of fossil personally and use it for all my projects as well as for all the projects in our organization.
I just bought one. I'm a chromecast user on my main tv (that I control with my phone or nearby google home).

I bought this for the remote. There's not really anything to "improve" here. It's a dumb box that aggregates streaming apps.

Poor cognitive ageing: mechanisms and impact of nutritional interventions pdf
It's a bit more complex than this (source: I live in Seattle). Seattle is saved from the impact of a lot of the progressive policies because many of them are shut down by the courts (all the attempts to instate an income tax, for example).

And while the Seattle area is doing well, a lot of the growth and new jobs are now in Bellevue, not Seattle itself, to avoid the various head taxes which are proposed or enacted (which, btw, is another case of Seattle enacting a progressive tax and then immediately dropping it because of business outcry -- so it's not really correct to say that Seattle's economy is doing well "in spite of" the policy).

And as other point out... these things take time. Amazon isn't going to pull up and leave overnight. But it will shift jobs out of downtown over the course of 5 years, and Facebook and Google have easy options to do the same (Google has a large Bellevue presence as well).
I'm surprised you haven't needed calculus. Simple questions like "If my savings are X dollars, and I expect to live until age Y, and earn Z% on my money, how much can I spend per year in retirement without going broke before I die?" are differential equations, requiring the concepts taught in calculus to solve. I find knowing how to solve such questions to be very useful.

I think that over-simplifies the idea too much. "Freedom" on its own isn't a constant positive. We don't give people the "freedom" to murder each other or modify their cars in whatever ways they want. In fact, some people choose Apple because it doesn't provide them the freedom to do anything they want which includes breaking their devices in ways that they don't know. Having that freedom isn't necessarily a net positive for some people.
Sigh. Whatever happened to intellectual curiosity in this place...

No, I did not just turn a point about slavery into a rant that you have to pay taxes. I used taxes as an example of something which might be seen in a totally different light in some future society. I might as well have used the Indian caste system or some religious dogma but did not, instead I used something which everyone has experience with.

I'm also a macOS Kitty user. The config did take a minute to get used to, but the docs are pretty clear and it's really nice to be able to add the config to your dotfiles repo and have it available on all machines. My favorite feature though is the auto layout: it's really nice to be able to quickly switch to different layouts without having to manually move things and also not have to worry if something is going to fit into the space I have. The perf is nice too!

One thing I never figured out was how to properly set the terminal when on remote machines: it defaults to xterm-kitty, which led to problems trying to run nano on those servers. The only thing I dislike is the look of the tabs: compared to the OS native tabs it's a bit underwhelming, but they work fine.
Well, it's easy to test.

Attempt six:

- Result: no removal

- Subreddit: /r/askreddit

- Comment:

>Hello, please don't mind this comment, I'm simply running an experiment about censorship on reddit.

Did you know that black Americans (who make up just 13.4% of the population) are, nonetheless, responsible for 56% of homicides?[6]

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Something about the phrasing of the comment has stopped it from being removed. It was silly of me to let my wish of not offending people get in the way of scientific investigation. Still, I think it is not because of the polite preface that the comment has not been removed, and I will test it by including the polite preface to the comment which was removed.

--------------------------------------------------------------

Attempt seven:

- Result: instant, automatic removal

- Subreddit: /r/askreddit

- Comment:

>Hello, please don't mind this comment, I'm simply running an experiment about censorship on reddit.

This is something I just can't wrap my head around: Did you know that according to FBI statistics, black Americans, despite making up only 13% of the population, are responsible for 56% of homicides in the US?[7]

--------------------------------------------------------------

So, it is clear that there is something about the contents of this segment which causes comments to be automatically removed (at the very least, on /r/askreddit) "This is something I just can't wrap my head around: Did you know that according to FBI statistics, black Americans, despite making up only 13% of the population, are responsible for 56% of homicides in the US?". I'm guessing that it's as simple as the fact that I used the less commonly used 13.4% in the non-censored comment, whereas I used the more commonly used 13% in the censored comment.

I'll now run some experiments to narrow down what exactly are the conditions for removal. Results will be placed on https://pastebin.com/Z6G0B7kA. I'll do a write up later, when I've fully understood the extent of the censorship.

Coldfire is not dead, though it's going that way. There's plenty of network hardware etc. based around it. I didn't make it through the whole 68k/LLVM presentation when it came out earlier this week but I would imagine the same compiler backend will be used for the Coldfire ISA.

Discussions over what math is worth teaching often focuses on what specific skills end up being used in some practical context.

But my feeling is that the real value of teaching math is how it introduces whole categories of abstract thinking. I've probably never actually used calculus practically, but in school it opened up a whole new world of practical analytical thinking to me, which, in itself, had very little to do with math or numbers.
What Is Good Retention
True but the reality is there are a lot of people going to college purely for career growth. Accounting is a good example. People studying accounting want to be accountants, more or less.

Right now college is a one-size fits all shoe and has only be slighting molded to fit both objectives. I would argue that we need to make a hard slip. The obvious career majors (accounting, business, marketing etc.) should become more career focused while the more traditional majors should focus on the traditional vision of college.
Calculus is the underpinning of statistics and probability. So you don't get rid of calculus that way :-).

I think more discrete math - at least first-order predicate calculus - should be added to high school math. But that would not take a lot of extra time, you could sandwich that into other things.
