Print media and public stations don't have the same high-strung presentation that cable news does, but the actual substance isn't much better in my experience. The last few times I listened to NPR they seemed to be pretty deep into the horse race style reporting, distracted "Breaking News!"-style reporting, and lots of speculation. Print media as well.

What the other poster suggested is something I also highly recommend - read old news, and see how many of the stories the news media was obsessed with and treated as a huge deal turned out to be nothing in the end. Putting a custom time range in searches is a great way to do this. Often there's little to no followup to stories, or new narratives get created that completely rewrite what happened. News junkies get left with a highly skewed version of reality.
You're joking, right?

Yeah, that's kind of a similar thing!

I guess riddles of obscurity are kinda like using overly esoteric words in conversation. Does that seem like the right parallel?

When I see something like the elixir with too many pipes, I think of Dr Seuss rhymes, but when I see obfuscated code, it's kinda like gibberish.
Nice one! I've long been interested in the ONNX serving path.
I was chastised for using C# and .NET for a problem that was proving difficult to solve. When I tried to explain why I had done it that way, I was told to redo it "the right way." I hung up everyone on the conference call and essentially resigned. The actual resignation took a while, but that was the end of my employment there.

Regarding the license:

> Allen Institute Software License – This software license is the 2-clause BSD license plus clause a third clause that prohibits redistribution and use for commercial purposes without further permission.

I hadn't seen this before, If I am interpreting it correctly, it is basically saying "Look but don't touch, except you can run it for verification/reproducibility purposes". Right?

I suspect that even a non-profit, running this code or a derivative of it on their own servers would run afoul of the additional restrictions.

This means that a researcher that uses any of this code or it's derivatives in their own research is planting a huge downstream landmine into their own code.
Don't we always consider gravity as "acceleration"?

In f = m * a, for objects falling from sky, it will be f = m * g where g is gravity, m is mass & f is force

Sorry, I think I am missing the point of the article.
Can you say anything without word salad? It is so dense to read. I distrust people that don't speak in plain English.

> I'd like to see some recognition that you do think there are worthy & compelling reasons for Linux gaming and/or tech like proton. I have tried, amid my "platitudes" to accept some dings, but I have not seen any places where you acknowledge or realize that there maybe something good for humanity at stake here.

Why? I don't owe you anything.

Good for humanity? We are talking about video games. It is just entertainment we are talking about. Get a grip!

If we were talking about access for information and censorship, I do think open source is important? Yes I do. That why I run Linux and try to use it in my work (however most companies want me to use MS tech). But I can create my own tools and software if I wish to.

If you wanna muck around with proton and game on Linux. Do it. I am not stopping anyone.
It depends. I can only get a good night sleep on a hard like a rock 100$ mattress that has zero frills. I'm also in my mid 40s and I have zero back issues which I suspect has something to do with the fact that I never got to sleep on a plush, soft mattress.

I think y'all are being taken for a ride by the mattress industry and are paying for it not just with your dollars but also with your back health.

> Google could have designed Android with a hardware abstraction layer to separate drivers from the OS.

That is part of the kernel. You might as well blame Linus Torvalds.

> The problem does indeed come down to Google and their choice to prioritize rapid market share growth and what the device makers and carriers wanted over what would provide a good end user experience.

Google didn't have market power in phone operating systems when Android was just getting started. They had no power to dictate terms at the time because the device makers would have just used something else.

> The original $399 iPhone SE just started its sixth year of OS and security updates. Android devices get half that support period if you are lucky.

This is whataboutism. They're both doing it wrong, so your defense is that HTC is doing it wronger. But they're both still doing it wrong.

And what are you going to say if Google does get a hardware abstraction layer, so that Android devices are supported indefinitely?

No, all I've come up with googling 'progressive tax for companies' are textbook explanations why it is not 'fair' to do this. Presumably it wouldn't be fair to tax a company with revenue more than a highly valued startup. Fairness is too ambiguous a term I think to determine policy. Besides that, there are other monetary features to apply a progressive tax on.
Regarding the first item on the XML Cons list:

> I’ve never gotten schemas and validation to actually work in practice

DTD validation in XML is trivial

xmllint --dtdvalid schema.dtd file.xml

or:

xmllint --relaxng schema.rng file.xml

works great, so take this article with a grain of salt. The other criticisms may be valid, but XML's cross-language schema support is still probably the best and most universally supported by tooling.
Most of the world considers only income and assets that happen to be inside the country to be taxed by that country, yes.
Thanks for asking -- we've played around with it a bit! Mostly as tests as features get implemented, e.g. live-playing incoming audio, or playing forward through multiple messages at a time, but it's kind of addictive so we've ended up just chatting sometimes too.

Heysync definitely shares concepts with iMessage's audio snippets (or WhatsApp's, Signal's, etc.), but automatic transcriptions let you decide to read or listen at will.

It's also different in that it's got features similar to IRC or a slack-like, so channels and DMs, markdown and code highlighting support, and soon enough reactions, threads, bots, etc. Beyond that, I'm also working on adding built-in support for "structured" meetings, like daily standups, because that seems to be a major use case.

It is much easier to think in two dimensions than three. If you picture the ball following a parabolic trajectory in space then you are really thinking in three dimensions here. It might be easier to think of throwing the ball straight up, after which it eventually falls straight back down. NOW plot this in two dimensions with one of the dimensions being time. As the original comment says, the scaling of the time dimension in seconds is not a good comparison to meters. Physicist like units where the speed of light is 1 (one). In these units, in our two dimensional space-time graph, the ball travels a very far distance while the change in our space dimension is still small. It is very close to straight line.
It nice to know that I'm in the same club as "such notable specimens as Plato, Charles Darwin, Carl Sagan, Debbie Millman, Stephen Jay Gould, Noam Chomsky, and Albert Einstein"!

"The most visceral evidence is found on my left thumb, whose pad an elongated scar splits vertically. It was inflicted while carving a watermelon jack-o-lantern at age six and accidentally flipping the knife the wrong way, pressing onto its edge rather than its blunt side. The fact that I held the knife in my left hand is cited to this day as indication of my natural left-handedness."

Right! This southpaw's right-hand scar is on my palm between my thumb and finger and comes from an altercation with a woodworking chisel when I was at school. The woodworking teacher was very explicit about what not to do but I did it all the same (...and I've the perfect excuse; after all, I'm a southpaw!)

"The fact that I held the knife at all is cited as indication of questionable parenting."

What utter bullshit, if ever there was an illustration of soft pathetic, wishy-washy, namby-pamby over-protection of kids these days then this has to be it. For starters, how would she eat without a knife and fork? By hands I suppose. Or what if she were in the army (women are these days you know) and she had to use a German MG42 or an American M60, etc? Both of which are just a whisker more dangerous than a knife, methinks.

Much fertile ground here and I could go on for ages but I'll finish with a startling revelation for right-handers. A piano is a right-handed instrument for all but the best players (and that's inclusive of both right and left-handers), as the tune/melody bit is usually played on the middle and upper registers by the right hand. True professionals are of course equally ambidextrous with both hands. That said, this southpaw—having never really practiced the way my piano teacher demanded, thus now very mediocre on the ivories—is, unsurprisingly, much, much stronger in the right hand than the left!

Curious isn't it?
In the case of the air pods, why couldn't they just have a cylindrical compartment for the battery that can be opened - like any other device? It just seems silly.
Definitely keep them separate. Sometimes, depending on whether or not you have side gigs, you might want more than just those two.
You could conduct the same experiment reading online predictions about computer/internet technology from years ago. This is one of the most dominant types of "breaking news" one will find on the internet. It is especially entertaining to look at the "tech" news in the years leading up to the dot-com bust. People who contribute "content" over the internet and those who consume it seem to have a love affair with trends and making predictions.
I don’t think this is correct. I think the shell theorem says that the gravitational forces cancel if you are on the inside of a hollow sphere and all mass is on the surface. A perfect sphere of uniform density would not meet the shell theorem assumptions.

Traditional electronics haven't seen large leaps in hardware capabilities on a yearly basis for a very long time.

Google does not. The fact that they only provide half as many years of support at best proves the point.

I really doubt it's impossible to make iPhones and such just a bit more repairable. Plenty of other manufacturers have found a way.

Perhaps a single-minded focus on thinness and smooth industrial design is the real root of the problem here. Plenty of phones have decent repair scores, amidst many that have very poor ones: https://www.ifixit.com/smartphone-repairability

EDIT: OmniPlan, not OmniProject, and I promised a footnote ;)

JIRA is as system that is hilariously hobbled by two forces - JIRA admins and management, the latter often driving JIRA admins into making bad changes[1].

It has a very keyboard-capable UI that isn't highlighted enough (make it exempt from anything that might hijack keyboard, and hit . (dot) - it will bring you an autocompleting text box allowing you to do every action you can on given page).

The big issue however is that there's nothing really integrating the links system between JIRA items, and the basic task model is indeed rather limited. The links are fully free form (which can be a pain when someone defines a new copy of every standard link type, in german, without connection to localization system), but I have yet to see something that isn't the advanced query (i.e. the SQL-like queries you can type in various places in JIRA) that exposes it nicely and graphically.

That said, graph-based task representation is the norm on the higher end of _desktop_ project management tools, ones that often involve physical things to make, like MS Project or OmniPlan (and going back all the way to LisaProject, which apparently became very liked at NASA for exactly that graph based view).

[1] At one point, a friend of mine had enough and implemented exactly what the management asked for, without spending futile time trying to help them see the truth, or fixing it quietly by themselves. The results were glorious, as the whole project essentially ground to halt for a sprint or two, and could be a poster example of why people tell you to not mess and use provided standard workflows. Management never again asked for workflow changes after asking for reversal of their own design[2].

[2] Management, in their infinite wisdom, designed a one-way-only workflow, where a task could proceed a workflow a bit like this: Backlog -> TODO -> Development -> QA -> Done. Notice lack of any way to move a stage back, and there was no way to force change a task to different stage. Tracking real status of tasks became impossible as everything was left at "Development" because if you found anything to fix after it left QA... well, no way to change the state without hacking the database, which might have not gone well with Atlassian Cloud admins ;)

Just to counter, the samsung galaxy buds+ have replaceable coin cell lithium batteries. You can even replace the battery in the case. Assuming you're technical, otherwise a 3rd party repair shop could do it.

Oh of course. But someone made the business decision anyway.

Storing money is probably the single oldest operating practice in history of banking. If you time travelled a banker from 1920 to 2020, he’d adapt pretty quickly.

An incompetent company like Garda shouldn’t be able to get away with fraud at this scale.
The regulations and internal controls are fubar.
I'll take a stab at this one:

opening compartments require more space. Any place that has a compartment needs to have that area waterproofed off of the rest of the device. When it's a thing that can be removed, it may not provide as much structural rigidity, so it can't be trusted in as part of the foundation of the device.

If the same form factor was to be maintained, then, since you need a compartment to store the battery, that takes up extra space that can't be used for more battery, so battery life would suffer, too.
Whether something is dimensionless is pure convention. By making c dimensionless and, for even more convenience, setting its value to 1, you can measure distance in seconds!
This is part of the plan, but I find this angle to give too much credit to Google.

Once they reached a dominant ad network position their whole strategy has been “advancing the web is advancing our revenue”, and it bled into mobile to the point where building and maintaining a whole ecosystem for free makes sense as long as they stay the search and ad engine of choice (that’s the only thing they’ll fight to impose).

Chrome is built in the same optics: push forward the web and webapps as long as search is theirs.
Whenever I read articles about elaborate ways to optimize the delivery of webapps, I am reminded of the following advice from https://idlewords.com/talks/website_obesity.htm#fixes:

Agree with large monitor - game changer. But Amazon shows only 3/5 stars for Sceptre 27" 4K monitor.
There are also a million white noise apps on the play store. I like Noice, its in the f-droid repository.
I think Airpods are an exception. Do you think hermetically sealed things like Pacemaker [0] should be repairable?

I generally agree with you - I personally wish people weren't so afraid of screws and other cosmetic artifacts that allow things to be repairable. There is a general distaste from the public to make things sexy, clean and minimal. So manufacturers comply. Just look up a 1950's electric coffee grinder [1] - it will have visible screws without an apology. Or a Collins instrument in a airplane cockpit even today [2]. I blame the public, designers and the bean counters. Generally, engineers' job would be easy if things were repairable because assembly/disassembly is part of the requirements from the get go and there is no Jony Ive breathing down their necks to hide screw holes. There is a whole area of study of snap-fit components to reduce BOM cost and this is where the bean counters come in.

Virgo 1302 – Demoscene 4k Intro
I was visiting SF for business a while back and while I was going for a walk the following kind of just hit me:

"San Francisco is someone else's house."

I can't explain exactly what prompted it, but I got the sense that there exists in SF a deeply embedded property-owning class that owns the city. The city is theirs. If you are not one of them, you are only visiting. The city will never truly be your home. It's possible to buy into this class, but the cost of doing so is intentionally kept so high that it's unreachable to all but the extremely wealthy.

Has the city always been like this? I don't know, but I wonder if maybe it has... if the various waves of hippies, post-hippies, ravers, hackers, and tech bros weren't just visitors permitted to crash on the couch for a little while.

There are many other cities all over this country where you are permitted to become a true resident, often for a very sane price. I don't get this feeling in most other cities.
I'm old enough to have been excited for the release of DOS 3.3.

Configuring autoexec.bat, config.sys, or hand-tuning X timings are fond memories of mine.

The reason why I picked those examples is because one is a 16-bit executable, and the other is hardcoded to a specific DirectX version for which Microsoft has _also_ stopped shipping necessary libraries.

With PlayOnLinux or Proton it's really not any more or less effort, and they run great on an OS that is overall superior for the sort of user who is _able_ to make those games run.
If you want to get technical, what about air resistance?
Interesting stuff! In the world of equipment for making this kind of music, there’s a device called Mutable Instruments Grids [1] whose maker did this same sort of analysis just for drum patterns. She designed a “topographic drum sequencer” with 3 knobs that smoothly transforms across the “eigenbeats” of a training set of electronic music rhythms.

I understand the use cases for certain Linux distribution spinoffs that can eliminate complexity but it also breaks my heart when they use an ultra customizable distribution like Arch Linux.

Typically, I will [1] customize my own installation media to do or contain whatever software or configurations I need without a third-party making assumptions for me. This is quite possibly what I like most about Arch Linux. I know what is going on under the hood because I set it up. I'm likely not a typical user for most spinoffs. I use Arch Linux, FreeBSD, Gentoo, RHEL, Debian, SLES, and Ubuntu for different use cases as required.

There's another economics aspect relevant here, which is that environmental costs are unpriced externalities (unless the government intervenes).

The economic logic of non-circular economy is sound only for the parties with a direct, short-term economic stake in it (you, Apple, and its suppliers). The system compensates you for your time wasted driving to the Apple store, but does it sufficiently compensate people whose children grow up in the midst of pollution from mining or landfills?
