Before Christmas, i downloaded StreetComplete so I have something to do on my daily walks.
This post just reminded me to actually upload my changes.

The whole process worked flawlessly, i can recommend it.

The only problem is that there seems to be not a lot of community coordination, so I'm not sure which data types I should focus on.
I have been using a Amaze Bipfit with Gadget bridge for the past few months. It helped me get my sleep back on track and my fitness levels back to a baseline. Previously I had a Basis and I really miss the galvanic skin response sensor and the temperature sensor. There are not any devices that work with Gadgetbridge, let alone anything on the market I trust using that has these two additional sensors, which allows be to see triggers in stress beyond the heart rate.

Hats off to the Pine folks for having a smartwatch, but for God's sake if they are going to develop their own devices from the ground up please include a temp sensor at the least.
Yes, if you have 3.5 hours to spare!
It's interesting to compare this with the subcomments in https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25545467 with some interesting interpretations like

> It is unsafe to drive the speed limit if everyone is going 10-15mph over the posted limit.
> What is wrong with OSM's geolocation services?

They come up with irrelevant results or no results at all. I talked about this in more detail in "Why OSM is in serious trouble".

> What even are OSM's geolocation services - i thought OSM was just a map!

OSM isn't a map, it's a geographic database.

By OSM's geolocation services, I mean Nominatim. Pelias gave me better results but it's gone AFAIK.

> What doesn it mean for them to be Euro-centric?

People search for things differently in Europe than they do in the US.

As a small example, I will regularly search for intersections, but I've been told Europeans don't often do that.

You must be being sarcastic, because the list is of confirmed. The government has not confirmed those (I am not saying they should be)
I've used OKR for 7 years, on a quarterly basis. I had simple markdown files at first, then vnl-log files, and now R notebooks (https://github.com/dkogan/vnlog) to read / plot.

It may seem like overhead, and there's some snark in this thread about how it's project / team management without the project and team.

I completely disagree. If you set up your KR's so they are 1) quantitative, 2) daily measurable, 3) simple to log ( a few keystrokes while journalling) and 4) completely under your control to achieve.

At the end of the day, I mark down my progress on all my OKRs. I can quickly plot them, look back at progress, and look back at goals and concerns by seeing the types of objectives I had. It's a 10,000 foot journal that I otherwise wouldn't have.

There's more to this than simply quantifying yourself. We like #'s because they are representations of complex systems. The self and your personal history are absolutely a complex system worth tracking.

Looking back at my OKRs when I was dating my (now) wife, comparing the ways I put effort into our relationship and our changing priorities. Seeing over time my running distances, weight lifting activity, meditation record, and seeing how I consistently attempt to over-achieve by setting KR values too high ... Having those points of reference has made today more enjoyable, and been a constant reminder that progress comes slowly and missing on any particular attempt at something is irrelevant. It's so completely a part of my life now that I can't imagine setting goals or daily priorities without it.

Think of it like quantitative journalling.

Maps.me was recently sold and got a lot of negative press for their latest changes (becoming more GMaps like, hiding detail etc). Discussion from 11d ago:

correlation does not equal causation. Phone addiction or internet addiction is a symptom not a cause. People are escaping to the internet becuase of the world we live in is cold.

There is a new US marine commerical out that shows a kid wandering the street kind of lost in hyper interactive world. The commercial plays off of this internet addiction and data mining product selling. Then clips to them becoming a Marine and finding purpose. Its a good commercial because its actually something that is a problem and that the Marines do have an answer, although with a great cost.

Brave New World predicted this. We are removed from community and it is scary so we find one on the internet and we go all in. The physical problems come with the fact that its not interactive but if there was a VR internet those could go away.

That still wouldnt fix the problem that you might feel closer to someone across the world than someone right next to you. And that a Maga hat and Antifa supporter might be neighbors but want to kill eachother.

My phone is that internet/phone addiction is not a problem its a solution. An escape from forever war all around us. Or you could join the Marines. I guess war is inescapable. Que the cranberries song.

This is a throwaway since I use Jira/Confluence at work and am not authorized to officially speak on their behalf.

We are actively looking for other solutions outside of Atlassian, specifically because the demands to switch to your cloud offerings. We simply do not trust your cloud.

We also have a higher compliance requirement, since we can have potential snippets of production data. Our Jira/Confluence systems are highly isolated inside a high compliance solution. We can verify and prove that these machines do not leak.

The Atlassian cloud is completely unacceptable in every way possible. And going from $1200ish year to $20000 per year with data center is laughably horrendous - for the same exact features.

Unless Atlassian changes its direction, your software is that of the walking dead. We have a absolute hard timelimit of 2024, but in reality, 2022. We'd like to still use it and pay you appropriately, but we're not about to compromise our data security handling procedures so you can funnel more people into a cloud service... And judging by the comments here, is pretty damn terrible.

Fully agree with your takeaway. Adding context on the character limit:

> Twitter was designed to have 280 characters max per message.

Twitter was designed to use 140 characters, plus room for 20 for a username to fix in the 160 char budget of an SMS message.

Their upping it to 280 later was capitulating to the fact that nobody actually wants to send SMS sized messages over the internet.
Yeah, try posting that to Reddit, you will get banned.

Cool project. I'm starting to become a fan of dual core BLE SoCs though. One small M0 to handle the BLE stack (which typically has to be high priority) and one M4 for the application.
I did a quick skim for the details. Here they are for anybody else:

> At first, they sprinted for four seconds, with Dr. Allen calling out a second-by-second countdown, followed by 56 seconds of rest, repeating that sequence 15 times, for a total of 60 seconds of intervals.

> At the end of eight weeks, the scientists retested everyone and found substantial differences. On average, riders had increased their fitness by about 10 percent, gained considerable muscle mass and strength in their legs, reduced the stiffness of their arteries and outperformed their previous selves in activities of daily living, all from about three to six minutes a week of actual exercise.
The problem though is that issues with CVEs are not caused only by bad CNAs. MITRE (understandably) doesn't have the resources to verify every CVE request it receives, which have resulted in bad CVE details being filed on multiple occasions.

I wonder if maybe, instead of trying to fix CVEs, we could try to think about creating alternatives? I know some companies already use their own identifiers (e.g. Samsung with SVE), so perhaps a big group of respected companies can come together to create a new unified identifier? Just an idea though.

Does that happen? One would assume that the slower update pace is just a matter of policy, so with vandalism they would be able to apply fixes much faster.

From what I understand they still seem to render at 1080p and then upsample to 4k. Judging by Soul.
phone addiction is not the problem, application addiction and products built around addictive loops are the problem.
We are way way past that point.

It’s time for Twitter to evolve in so many ways.
One of the things they mentioned briefly in a little documentary on the making of Soul is that all of the animators work on fairly dumb terminals connected to a back end instance.

I can appreciate that working well when people are in the office, but I'm amazed that worked out for them when people moved to work from home. I have trouble getting some of my engineers to have a stable connection stable enough for VS Code's remote mode. I can't imagine trying to use a modern GUI over these connections.
People are the problem, not Facebook. Conspiracy theories, FOMO and interpersonal toxicity existed long before social media, in roughly the same proportions. FB can prevent overt scammers and bad actors from using their platform, but that's about it. Any organization with the thinnest patina of legitimacy can and should be able to participate.

Running a scam business tends to be low expense. They don't have much to invest in other than advertising, which is why scams dominate low value ad inventory. I don't blame facebook for this. It's just part of running one of history's largest advertising businesses.

I understand that many of us here aren't fond of social media, but the majority of humans really like it. And they bring with them all of the worst (and best) aspects of social interaction. I don't blame facebook for that, either.

Being angry at social media companies is like being angry at the mirror because you don't like your appearance. Facebook isn't the cause of humanity's problems. It's just the means by which we're observing them.
It's specifically complaining about point releases of 3.x, it only mentions 2 in an unrelated way.

The fix for https://bugs.python.org/issue40870 caused me some grief when upgrading from 3.8.3 to 3.8.4 (though to be fair, the ast module has different stability guarantees).
Yeah, I've never seen any value in Twitter. They should've called it "Public IM" or limited IIRC and make it function well like IM. Even the poor implementation of threads in Slack is way better than the perverted version of Twitter.

Completely agree with the completed charging is a bad move but that problem is solved with idle fees.

Also you absolutely can remove a charger while its going and I've had it happen multiple times on my M3 when charging at a L2. I do get a notification but like.

But yes, spot on just put the chargers where no one wants to park. They keep installing them right at the front of stores and wondering why people ICE them.
I think they can't as their system is built with many of these limitations and preconceptions and it's hard for it to evolve easily.
From what you're describing, it sounds like he basically made two mistakes: he confused gravity with magnetism, and he supposed that space is filled with air.

I agree. The median income in the US is $35k, and many of these things are 5-10% of that.

I'd really like a monocular, but anything decent is very expensive.
Tech company employee donations are overwhelmingly democrat: https://www.newsweek.com/big-tech-employees-donate-overwhelm... They are indeed putting their money where their mouth is, at least as far as political donations go.

The notion that tech workers are not substantially more liberal than average contradicts both my first-hand experience and the available data. This isn't surprising, or evidence of some anti-conservative agenda, since tech workers often exist at the confluence of both geographic distributions and educational backgrounds (usually bachelor's degree or more) that are more liberal than average.

But still, I'm really curious as to how you justify the claims you're making in this comment.

Hey, the site only lists iFixit guides. Are some of those missing?

> Further, it appears that only official LineageOS versions are taken into account

That's correct. There are of course many more roms available on xda, unofficial lineage roms and other projects, but for one I do not know a structured way to list them, and second I think that if one decides on a device it should be based on official support by a bigger project.

If there are more of those bigger projects that should be listed (and that have a list of devices they support published somewhere) I'm happy to add them to the list. It does not have to be only MoKee and LineageOS.
I'm afraid I'm no expert on project management tools!

On what users experience as effectively "instantaneous", that's from experience on UX engineering and industry standards - https://www.nngroup.com/articles/response-times-3-important-...

On the other noted times, they're just a general range of what can be expected from a reasonably well-built tool of this nature. Obviously much simpler systems should be drastically faster, but project management tools do tend to be processing quite a bit of data and so do involve _some_ amount of inherent "weight", but that isn't an excuse for very poor perf.

That said, I imagine if your PMs do some research and go ahead and try using some of the common project management tools, you should get a good idea. ;) Keep in mind speeds to Australia (assuming Atlassian is operated mostly there?) will likely show them in a much worse light than typical perf experienced in the US/UK/EU areas.

The time to first load is derived from the fact that you're running essentially the equivalent of many "transition" type interactions, but they should be run almost entirely in parallel, so roughly 2x between "transition" and "new load" is a reasonable allowance.
That makes no sense: second hand effects are always weaker than first hand effects. Why would the cars not use the road if the journey is quicker?
> Facebook is a company that never stood by small businesses.

Curious what makes you say this? Knowing a handful of small business owners, I hear lots of good things about how great FB ads are for reaching their customers without requiring multi-million dollar ad spends, agencies, etc.
I don't think the parent is talking about Python 2 -> 3. I think they are pointing out that for many developers, moving to Python 3 happened very late. That means they ran 2.7 since 2010 (roughly 10 years now.) Now that they are on 3.x, they get issues with each new 3.x release.

The argument is that being on 2.7 for so long gave a false impression of the language being more stable than it is - developers just weren't using new versions.

It's frustrating how hard of a sell the text medium can be, especially with how creative authors have grown to explore what visual media isn't well-suited for. So many of my avid gamer friends just won't give anything with such a minimal UI an honest shot, even if they loved playing similar games in the past when it was more of a necessity.

Incidentally, I was actually thinking of submitting something that I'd been working on for the competition, but I didn't think it would qualify since it was already publicly distributed.

I know somebody who got constant text messages from his pregnant wife, and the Apple Watch made it easy to read them and dismiss them.

Unlikely unless it starts becoming violent and challenges the government's monopoly on violence.

It's not that drugs are of concern to citizens but the people involved in the supply side are essentially directly challenging the government in a market that it refuses to regulate.

Whoever holds control over the apparatus for distributing violence the most efficiently and at large scale ultimately dictates the laws. Anybody posing a challenge to this basic low common denominator will become a target of the State which declares itself as the sole monopoly over violence.

This is why I believe countries fight all the time, it is simply not enough to hold monopoly over your own borders, to maintain its "large security apparatus" it needs new threats otherwise it stops growing, losing momentum and many groups declaring their own autonomous zones will find it easy to challenge the government as we saw in Syria and Arab Spring countries.

Maybe their convenience matters more to them than others' lives at the moment ... until such a time that it's their lives on the line, at which point they will probably demand that the healthcare system spare no expense to save them.
Is it the phone people are addicted to, or the media available through it?

Especially Facebook, Instagram, Whatsapp and Twitter. All of which seem designed to cultivate obsessive compulsive behavior in their users with social proof, intermittent rewards and a builtin hedonic treadmill.

I do not believe for a second it's a mistake to have visual representation or manipulation of software, it's just exceedingly difficult to make anything as versatile as text grammars and compilers. No one's done an adequate job because the ROI is terrible for building such things when you can't depend on massive adoption, which you can't.
What's the environment/setting? Who were you with? What dose? Most people hit peak from a dose between 70-90 minutes. How were you onboarded, what was told to you about how to deal with "restlessness and agitation"/anxiety or if anything came up for it that felt hard/difficult for you? Also are you 100% sure it was just MDMA and not something that may have been mixed with something like meth/speed, etc - e.g. was it tested?

The restlessness and agitation you're speaking of is often why people go dancing as when taking it primarily for recreational purposes, as it can have therapeutic effect as well; it can release energy that you need to do something with.
Ha, doubling it, that's cute.
The top marginal tax rate in the US used to be 92% in the 50s, and that's what was widely considered it's "golden age".

Those 600 people hold $4 Trillion dollar. Which is the federal budged you mentioned (it's not million btw).

The bottom 50% of the us population have 2 Trillion.

Those 4+ trillion federal budget include that ridiculous amount of defense spending, that's essentially welfare for the rich.

Now imagine if you could increase the federal budget by 25% for 4 years, just for science and education, and as a side effect you get a continued plus through the reduced negative effects of massive political influence by a small elite of 600 people.

There would probably a positive societal impact if you took those 4 trillion and burned them. Getting to spend them means, moon colonies, mars missions, broadband internet everywhere, proper healthcare for all, and maybe a shot at surviving the climate and biosphere collapse...

The Spectator Fact Checking The New York Times
Well, so far I have always preferred OSM over Google Maps, simply because of tracking and spying and because for me personally the user interface delivered a better experience. Also it only needed third party stuff when searching for routes from A to B. However, lately the situation with OSM has drastically worsened, when they started relying on fastly. I'll unfortunately have to find a new map website now.

Welcoming any suggestions for map websites with basic functionality like OSM, but without relying on spying eyes.
Brilliant. Are all those screenshots and videos made manually? Hard work
