Agreed. That turned me off to the article. Made it sound like an ad.
This is the first time I've seen someone make this point (your first two paragraphs) besides me. One disagreement though:

>Actual implementations try to improve performance by rebuilding the hash table as more items are inserted, using a new hash function with larger K. This can keep the linked list sizes bounded by some constant, which means O(1) lookups but at the cost of rebuild operations which are at least O(N).

Even ignoring the rebuild operations, it's still not O(1), because if you use a different (evenly distributing) hash function with larger key size, you necessarily need more computations to compute K, and so lookup time increases.
Mixed feelings on this. Only because it paints the Apple Watch as the brainchild of this new-age health platform

Watch still is an exclusive way to drive consumers to iPhone. Today, it's more capable than ever, but smartwatches weren't exclusive to Apple - Pebble, Android Wear, Fitbit and Garmin (which I had) did them. And better in some aspects.

4 years later, I'm still not blown away at the sensor technology on Apple Watch. (disc. I have one) Sleep tracking wasn't added till the latest release!!?? It's def. a fashion statement. Like blue iMessage bubbles, Apple Watch is a sign of luxury and exclusivity, and it looks solid.

Apple owns an ecosystem, and at the center is the user. A computer on the wrist makes sense, it's always on, always there, and it's still a connected experience for when you can't have your phone. But I can't say Apple created a whole new industry - it only works because they own an ecosystem. Not because they have a fantastic wearable watch.

> Why do you need a watch that is designed for a particular sex?

If you'd ask that question in a Rolex board-meeting, they'd show you the door ...
Wonder if the TV would detect it as nonfunctional and still search for open networks that work.
If you want to trust this you have to put your tv in a faraday cage. I wouldn't bat an eye if tv's actually connect via 4G to their spying servers.
LXD is so weird. It feels like the halfway point between chroot and Docker proper. Can someone more familiar with containers explain what its usecase is meant to be?

For reference my only interaction with it was for privilege escalation on HackTheBox: https://www.hackingarticles.in/lxd-privilege-escalation/
When you can choose the watch face and change out the band, it's not so much designed by committee as providing options. The watch itself is just a roundish square of metal and glass. Not a bad design for those who are buying it!
It's gotten a lot better since the Series 4 rounded corners, and the bands are excellent. Reception seems mixed with the watch faces that mimic traditional ones.
Not saying I agree with GP but there are 2 distinct notions of time. One is related to durations, and the other is absolute time (aka wall time). Clocks measure wall time, not durations. Cellular processes probably don’t care about wall time.
why don't you talk to your watch? That's what I do. I don't find the voice interface that useful on the phone (and completely disabled it on my iPad and Mac -- ugh). But on the watch it makes a lot of sense.
Yeah, I get on a technical level why this stuff gets flagged—it’s not tech-world enough, and I think a lot of us are here to escape Twitter—but it’s still pretty weird to see these significant issues dismissed as off-topic.

I dunno, maybe there should be a “politics branch” or something where topics that aren’t tech-related can go?
I am not a fan of the aboveavalon articles but this one has some good insight. Specifically the smart speaker->watch point.
If you would think for a moment about the time scale over which these things develop ("one funeral at a time") you'd recognize how absurd a question this is.
I have had a Samsung smartwatch for 5 years now and have been very satisfied. I'm not a big user of health functions, but sleep tracking, being able to see messages quickly without having to reach for my phone, and having an alarm on my wrist that is guaranteed to wake me up are the 3 biggest benefits. I also prefer a round watch face, it give a more classic feel. I feel a rectangular watch face shouts "I'm a smartwatch user!" a bit too much.

> This is a problem that can, and has, destroyed nations.

I agree, and think it should be a national concern. I don't know how building highways is a legitimate use of government power where matchmaking between workers and employers is not. It's the type of big government intervention that virtually no one would complain about. The amount of excess effort wasted in matching people to employment is entirely wasted. Minimizing it would be like giving everybody a raise.

You still have to cross the border to get to an Apple Store!
I hate to say it, but having an Apple Watch is a little bit like it was having a cell phone for the first time. It unloads a lot of mental tasks, and quickly feels essential.

With the cell phone, I didn’t have to remember peoples phone numbers anymore, and I could call or be called from anywhere. Eventually texting became a thing, but at first it was just that freedom to make much looser plans and adjust them on the fly, which was really difficult before cell phones.

With the watch, it feels the same, but about health. Knowing how much I walked around each day, how well I slept, what my heart rate was, etc. makes it a lot easier to understand what’s going on with my body and be more proactive about it.

It’s also becoming a replacement for the cell phone. I usually still keep my phone with me because I want the camera, but I increasingly don’t take my phone with me when I want peace and quiet. I know that if a family member urgently needed to reach me they could get through to my watch. Meanwhile the watch does not distract me from what’s going on in real life around me.

I suspect that if they do pull off the glasses, this is going to be the trifecta. Eventually the glasses can capture a visual record of whatever you saw, the AirPods potentially can capture whatever you heard, and the watch is capturing what’s going on with your body. It’s sort of a kindler, gentler Cybernetic future than I think earlier eras anticipated.

This is a couple of vloggers lifting quotes from the royal commission and discussing it. It’s an opinion piece, nothing more.

In this video they also say that changing the date of Australia Day is “ridiculous”. That’s not necessarily bad in and of itself, but it’s certainly not an opinion shared by all aboriginal people and it strongly suggests that they aren’t impartial.

If this is the best you’ve got to defend your views, you don’t got much at all.
Technological Charisma and Societies of Spectacle
Yeah, that stood out to me: that this is not the “production” branch, and the circumstances under which it would be administered sounded distinctly ominous.

(Although this, of course, is Donald Trump; pretty easy for me to imagine that he just demanded it and it happened, regardless of whether or not it was warranted or fully considered.)
Lol, your comment is one-third highly-biased projection (chaos & competition), and two-thirds pure baloney (religion/ethics, craftsmanship, and hyperbolic generalities) untethered from reality. I don’t think this deserves a point-by-point rebuttal.

India is so diverse that some of the things you’ve said (the one-third that’s not baloney, but highly biased) definitely happens somewhere, but it’s a misleading summary of a country/populace.

For an alternate perspective on what you consider “chaotic”, check out this short talk: https://youtu.be/xKOh9DfQBgU
Ladies and gentlemen - in one corner we have a handful of citizens concerned enough about an issue to occasionally write an email to their congressperson, which if they're extraordinarily lucky will be digested by an intern and show up as a line in a memo the congressperson glances at the next morning. Truly intimidating! Now, in the other corner - a team of trained professionals paid full-time to get the congressperson to ignore that line in their memo, tirelessly working toward this goal every day because that is literally what they are paid large sums of money to do. Now - fight!
Self host Gitea?
Thank you so much for the reply; it at least helps me understand why things are the way they are. VirtualBox's own docs have said since some 5.x version that it's compatible alongside Hyper-V. However, we've had developers on the latest 5.x as well as 6.x of VirtualBox, and the bugs that appear are out-of-this-world impossible to debug. Basically, running VirtualBox with Hyper-V enabled on a Windows host will appear to work at first, but you'll very quickly run into some random weird bug (often related to networking) that cannot even be Googled because it's a unique one-time error that seems to occur purely because of which cpu instruction was being executed during a particular nanosecond.

So even WSL2 will not help us, unless we can migrate all VirtualBox boxes to Docker or native Hyper-V. Sigh. Fuck companies who produce software purely for Linux servers, who force their developers to work on Windows machines because of ActiveDirectory, and their relationship with kissing Dell's ass for hardware I could piece together from a garbage dump.
I don't get how you can use it for sleep tracking when the battery lasts 18 hours. Fitbit is good for 4 days
I've never owned a smartwatch, but I can't think of another device that completely distracts users and breaks focus away from in-person conversations quite like these do. Maybe I just notice it more than folks that just use phones, but every time I'm talking to someone who checks their watch while we're talking reinforces my decision not to purchase one.

Sometimes I feel like I've teleported from another decade or something when complaining about the lack of digital etiquette in our society, but there's just no way I can justify buying another notification factory.
Appreciate the offer, but I wouldn't know what to ask yet. I'm still pretty junior in the grand scheme of things. I plan to just keep an eye on how it develops.
In France, almost certainly. The DMCA was implemented under the auspices of a WIPO treaty which mandates anticircumvention legislation.

Comparing corporate profits to GDP doesn’t make much sense. The BEA corporate profits number includes profits earned overseas, which aren’t included GDP. Corporate profits divided by GDP could go up without anything changing in the economic relationship between workers and corporations with respect to work done in the US.
This guy made a drum machine in excel https://youtu.be/To2JIXGoYzA
I've worn a watch all my life, but going from a battery that lasts a year to one that lasts a few days is a giant leap of inconvenience for me. Also, watch platforms seem to me even tinier walled gardens than those of mobile phones. If I could see myself using anything, it would be more akin to the Pine Time[0] than the Apple Watch. I realize the Pine is still in it's infancy.

This. I found the same thing in Australia.
I run LXD on some machines at work and overall I love it.
Think of it as VM hosting, but very little overhead thanks to the shared kernel. (But can for some reason now also be used to manage KVM VM's)
Generally I use it for two use-cases, where I need to do minimal work:

* Giving co-workers a container they can use to host small utilities on a static IP to share, instead of them hosting it on their own desktop. Think compiler-explorer ect.

* Giving co-workers access to our 64 core ThreadRipper for heavy workloads, sandboxed from one another.

But a mandatory "F* Snap" needs to be said.
I like being able to open a shell on my phone. (Yes, I know there are some limited options to do this on an iPhone that don't involve jail breaking. They all involve emulation and have limits to their usefulness.) I like running an FTP server on my phone. When combined with wireless tethering, it's the only way to get data directly from a phone onto a government laptop. There are plenty of hackerish/security apps I use that are simply unavailable on the iPhone. Sharing data between apps is now at least possible on an iPhone, but it's still very cumbersome. I understand the need for security, but it comes at a cost to performance or usability.

This is not an ideological issue. Everyone else in my family has iPhones, and I use my iPad all the time. It's just a personal choice that is driven by my use cases for a phone.
Yeah, people have been saying they had the same problem the last couple years. It wasn't as bad, but it was there.

Apparently this year they aren't requiring that the PR gets accepted. It just can't be rejected immediately.

Which means that lots of spam will do the job, where before you had to have a decent PR to get it done.
Is there a way to own one without an iPhone yet?
Yeah, I don't really buy the "luxury product" label either, but I suppose everything is relative. All the major brands of smartphones have offerings at similar price points to the iPhone lineup. And in the United States, iPhones have around 50% of the smartphone market share.

The same largely applies to Apple's other product lines too, which the exception that they simply don't attempt to compete in the bottom-dollar markets for laptops or desktop PCs. So I would definitely say that Apple doesn't make junk for the race-to-the-bottom market, but I'm hesitant to call them a luxury brand.
Actually I would assume the time for removing each rod while collecting the result is quadratic because when the number of rods is high enough you can no longer see the highest one at a glance but have to scan through all possible rod positions for spotting the one that sticks out.
is there any researcher who is really excited about the profound world-historical importance of fungi, but who has not taken psychedelic mushrooms? it would help me to be less skeptical of the rhetoric.
Just wait until smart glasses finally take off! At least people can ignore their smart watches, it'll be hard to ignore a flashing icon in your field of view.
I have an older Vizio from ~3 years ago. 1080, 43" (IIRC), and absolutely no "smart" features other than HDMI-CEC (I forget if that's the right term). Works super well. PS4 games look fine on it. Video from my Apple TV looks good.

I think that TV cost me maybe $300. Probably worth much less now.

But I don't need to worry about ads, updates, etc.

It's pretty great.
Another free service that will show up, pop out the 5g modem/sim, and gets paid by repurposing it for mobile data. And after the mobile networks develop strict firewall rules, hopefully they can pivot to selling show popularity as a service.
But alot of people want Netflix etc streamed. also alot of people dont know how to manage firewalls, pihole etc. This idea of stuffing tracking and ads into everything “smart” is such an insult to the individual.
Yeah, but Rolex primarily caters to men who are insecure in their masculinity, so they're a special case >:-)

In what ways is pyenv inferior to rbenv?
Until recently blacklivesmatter.com about section touted that the movement “(we) are trained marxists”. Sorry but you’re not racist if you not a marxist. This is straight up Bolshevist tactics. More companies should take an assertive stance against these regressive tactics.
My fear with dumb TV options that aren't intended for commercial use is that Samsung, LG, and Sharp make a lot of the panels, they keep the good ones for themselves, and they sell off the lower bins to companies making generic and store brands.
I guess you charge it when you're awake but at home. Which, for many of us, is now all the time.

> completely capable of doing their job [...] But then how can they miss such a trivial understanding [...] It just doesn't match up.

People badly underestimate how very rapidly understanding degrades as you move away from someone's focus of expertise.

You might laugh if you heard a conversation "You're a Doctor? Yes, of medieval french literature. Good, what do you think of my blood pressure medication?". Or people looking to their local TV meteorologist for climate-change-isn't-real expertise. Or "he's a Scientist!".

The press gets excited when say first-tier business school students don't know what causes Earth's seasons. But if the last time they touched a topic was middle school, it shouldn't shock to find a middle-school-ish understanding. Asking a protein chemist a quantum chemistry question is perhaps like asking a years-ago "I hate studying for quals" graduate student. If something isn't a focus, there's little selection pressure to prune misconceptions.

But perhaps one expects a 5-year old asking "What color is that Sun ball thing?" of first-tier astronomy graduate students to go well? Doesn't. And many of the few who get it right, learned it discussing common misconceptions in astronomy education, rather than from their own.

As you move away from people's active focus, understanding can become ramshackle startlingly fast.

I’m sorry if you interpreted my comments in this way. My point was precisely the one that you seem to make, that in that in the English medium schools, this nuanced history was not conveyed, and that is the problem.

In fact, my wife’s family is among the “colonized colonizer”. My wife’s family moved to Botswana in the 1970s. They were originally from Tanzania, and had originally come from India, fleeing their own particular discrimination. They left Tanzania in the 1980s, because, in short, the country was trying to find a path in which Black Tanzanians could find a way to realize a full self determination. Their family did not want be a continued part of the problem.

Before my father in law was the thought that it was better to “un-settle” a place rather than be a continued part of its settler legacy. For many reasons, he was welcomed by the Batswana. I think it was a persistent asking of permission to enter, to join the table humbly and with respect for the people, a respect that they have the resourcefulness and brilliance to know what course is best for them. Humility.

The point being that even as another of the wave of “colonized colonizers” —- people who derive privilege by proximity to a ideal of what is presumed to be “better”, more western —- there was no mention of the rich history and the erasure of the indigenous people in the education she received.

I have been to the Three Dikgosi monument a few times, and felt it strange that for all this ancient, immeasurable history, the millenia of stories of the San an Khoi is condensed to a small mention.

The archaeological site a few hours from Gaborone, the site of a religious ceremony whose significance is lost to time. I just pieced together, but I know it predates the 1700s by tens of thousands of years.

So yes, there are layers of colonization and each prevents an accounting, a true embodiment of truth and reconciliation. There is a need to “un-settle”, to
question the orthodox histories.

Thanks. I certainly think it’s a luxury product in certain markets, but not in the US. I’ve had others say it’s a status symbol or luxury product and I’m always thinking... a Ferrari is a luxury product. Moet and Chandon is a luxury product... but an iPhone that 50% of Americans have?

That's very true.

Philosophically, it's kinda hard to envision material gains in quality-of-life without major consequences with these kinds of technologies. They largely exist to take us out of our physical, in-person interactions because there's something more important to look at/respond to/whatever on the screen. Stuff like the Apple Watch and smart glasses definitely give me Black Mirror vibes a whole lot quicker than mobile technology ever did, but then again, Black Mirror came out after mobile had already largely taken off.
A lot of places have societies where culturally the game is about getting ahead of others. You're all together in a society competing for the top spots.

Whereas certain other cultures are more about working together to create an ideal environment for all to be emancipated and enjoy life to its fullest.

Personally, I prefer the latter, as it just seems much more enjoyable and fun to live in such a culture. The former culture is stressful and doesn't really seem to bring as much value out of my life, it feels a lot more artificial in its end goal. Instead of appreciating the time on a planet full of wonders, you spend the time feeling good knowing you beat others and ended on top. I honestly couldn't really find salvation in that goal, on my last day breathing, I'd feel like the king of fools, a fool none the less, and like I just missed out on a life that could have been so much more. But off course that must just show my cultural bias. And I wonder if happiness is cultural, while I would be happier in the latter culture, someone born in the former might be happier in that one. Just something for me to keep pondering about
