>junk reprogrammable “smartwatch kit” that reuse Huami/Xiaomi-brand smartwatch enclosures

This strikes me a really over the top expression of contempt which just isn't necessary or constructive at all. I generally understand Pine64 products to be developed to the point that they are capable of being used by end-users from day one without hacking or fiddling, are basically ready-to-order in the same way as any commercicial product but with a general understanding that they were hacked together, and may require the kind of hacking that only enthusiasts are interested in doing over the medium to long term. To my mind that is enough to elevate it above junk (are there other distributors comparable to Pine64 that I don't know about?), and I feel that it's quite strange that that should even have to be debated at all.

>while genuine Huami goes on to collect data more strategically at a larger scale.

You're saying that as though it's a good thing, which I don't understand.

>Gives me different chills than the fact that its sole purpose is to take my health data anyway.

I also couldn't parse this.

Most people perform the calculation on lean mass.
Overweight people don’t need 300g of protein, for example.
Because (at least in the US) we weigh ourselves in pounds and weigh protein by the gram. That’s kinda of the long and the short of it lol.
> I have a feeling CNAs are bringing this kind of low effort zero regard for false positive fatigue bullshit to CVEs.

Yes, being the discoverer of a CVE is a major resume item. Pen testers who have a CVE to their name can charge more. Companies can charge more for sending them.
It’s just a common heuristic. It’s not like it’s used for much other than a staring point for how much protein to consume.
What a stupid thing to say. You may as well take college advice from britney Spears.
Disagree with you about "American Graffiti". It would be remembered today if for no other reason for the actors that got a career-launch from it. Never mind the 1960's revivalism it kicked off.

Writing-wise, a good chunk wasn't even written by Lucas.
I'm from Canada we mix both units all the time, or maybe its just me. But I think this has to do with most foods being labeled with grams, its easier to add in decimal. But most people weigh themselves in lbs.
Yeah. The problem using a shared computer was that any save you made was usually wiped out or overwritten the next time you went over, so I never progressed quite far with the game. Don't recall it mattering too much back then though.
Rust does not have sealed traits, though you can sorta contort the privacy system to do similar things if you want. We also do not have structural typing. (Generally; tuples are structurally typed but nothing else is)

A lot of Rust’s language people did a lot in Scala. The language’s are pretty different IMHO.
I remember when there were lots of small mom and pop criminal gangs. Now we just have the big corporate crooks, and they’re ruining everything.

True but there is a difference between "jemandem etwas schulden" and a actual credit for a house or something:

Owing someone you know money is probably the worst. You want to get rid of that "Schuld" asap. Even if it's an Euro you borrowed for an Einkaufswagen.

Than there is the "credit" for things you should actually pay from money you have or otherwise not buy at all. Like a fridge or a TV or something like that. You usually don't go around and tell other people that you did that. You pretend that you actually paid for it and that it's yours. This is also where US debt-culture comes into Europe though. You can see for years now that shops encourage going into debt for those kind of products. They try to normalize it because it's easy to hide and pretend.

Third are really big investments like a house or a business. Taking a credit there and discussing those with your friends and relatives is nothing that is frowned upon. Nobody expects you to have that kind of money (and if you had, you'd probably not admit to it).
You forgot the father of scientist-nutcase-weirdos, Isaac Newton himself!

Perhaps there's a different lesson here: at some level of intelligence, you pierce through the patterns of stability your fellow men had weaved for their survival and sanity (and yours). And then anything goes.

Maybe you also realize the "should of giants" are really the shoulders of men? Capricious and agenda-driven and haphazard, if you care to zoom in with enough resolution.

For Christmas I got Freeman Dyson's "Disturbing the Universe". I never realized how poetic the man was. I always admired Dyson for his courage to speak out and his scientific insight, but he makes beautiful connections between poetry and science, Faust and Newton, creativity and sanity, integrity and death (he served in WW2 and died last year). A chillingly honest and humane read.
true! I have just realised that. I will fix that. Thanks for feedback!

And if you dig into Star Wars you’ll find the it’s success is really a result of others. First edits were laughable until a new edit came aboard to give the movie its trademark style. I’d say SW movies were a success in spite of Lucas not because of Lucas.

The prequels prove the point as those movies were 100% him and quite unwatchable IMO.
A differentiation socialists love. In reality, all explicitly Marxists regimes are well represented by the book pretty well, whatever Orwell own believes. Marx himself was incredibly authoritarian as acted in his own movement and what he was willing to tolerate to achieve his vision. Bakunin and others had pointed that out already before any real Marxist regime ever existed.
I'm surprised marketers figured out how to breathe to be honest.
Big Oil Is Getting Scared of Electric Vehicles – and So It Should Be
The whole problem is that at some point people started seeing CVEs as an achievement, as "if I get a CVE it means I found a REAL VULN". While really CVEs should just be seen as an identifier. It means multiple people talking about the same vuln know they're talking about the same vuln. It means if you read an advisory about CVE-xxx-yyy you can ask the vendor of your software if they already have a patch for that.

It simply says nothing about whether a vuln is real, relevant or significant.

FATCA does not make it impossible to have a bank account abroad. I currently live in a country known for its historical banking secrecy and two different large banks I walked into were able to open an account for me with only one extra form that gives them consent to share my information with the IRS. There was at least one employee in both branches that knew exactly what to do, although not every employee did so I can understand some Americans trying to open accounts being turned away.

As an American that lives abroad, I naturally don't support the extra taxation based on citizenship when I'm already taxed in my country of residence. There is paperwork to file to avoid double taxation, but hiring a lawyer to do it will probably cost me more than it saves at this stage in my life.
People might get paid money to develop (proprietary!) software that deploys to Linux. That doesn't mean they enjoy using Linux.
"College" isn't for everyone, and it's easy to have a really bad fit between what you end up doing and the education you've had.

But I'm reminded of the motivational speaker urging his audience never to give up. After all, he didn't give up, buying lottery ticket after lottery ticket, and finally he got his multi-million dollar prize and was set for life.

Selection bias is A Thing(tm).

I went to university, loved it, love what I do, and without university I could never had got to where I am. Does that mean everyone should go to university? Of course not.

So read this article with a huge handful of salt. Perhaps the real lesson to take away is not make sure you have a clear path, and you pursue that path. It might involve university or college, but it might not. Take advice, gather information, engage your problem solving capabilities and your critical thinking, and do the Right Thing(tm).

It's not always formal tertiary education.

But it might be.

Huh? He has everything to do with the filibuster.

He will work with Democratic senators to set their agenda during his term, and part of that is decisions regarding whether to keep the filibuster or whether to push to end it, or to work around it. He can express his will via the bully pulpit, and via communication & coordination with Senate Dems, the same way basically any president has been able to convey their agenda to the senate for as long as we've had presidents and senators.

Obama and Harry Reid had this exact conversation over whether to continue using a filibuster, and Obama listed it in his autobiography as a regret that he didn't accept Reid's suggestion to nuke the filibuster.

Capitals can be very much eccentric in a state (the distance from Cheyenne, Wyoming to Helena, Montana is (eyeballing) about three times that to Denver, Colorado, for example, but I would say Wyoming borders Montana about as much as it borders Colorado)

Average distance of all pairs of points in the two states (hm, maybe not. That could behave weirdly for states that aren’t very ‘compact’) or geometric mean of the fraction of a state’s border shared with the neighboring state would be fairer. Or maybe, the geometric mean of the fraction of the area of State S is closest to state T and the fraction of the area of state T that is closest to S?

Alternatively, make the states clusters, add all cities on highways as vertices, and use highways stretches between cities as edges.

I’d say doublespeak would be if “advertising integrity” were the department charged with respecting users’ privacy and (informed) choices, while said dept. executed Facebook’s policies that go very much against these things.

But if parent is correct, the role is to enforce things users want (regarding spam/fraud/illegal goods), which matches standard notions of integrity, so it’s not doublespeak.

I have more than a few downloads and installs every month.

Otherwise people would buy without installing... or never upgrade to the latest version (I try to release regularly) and the "not commonly downloaded" error is still there.

This sort of stock ticker uses a small metal wheel that continuously rotates from letter to letter, with an electric mechanism to print the letter that's currently in position. That makes it very slow compared to teletypewriters -- you have to wait for the needed letter to come around, rather than just lifting the correct typebar. Teletypewriters also have mechanisms to move a full-width sheet or roll of paper, which makes them larger than the roller that this ticker has to advance its paper tape.

I've had a hard time finding tickers in pictures or videos, but here's one; skip to nearly the end to see it printing.

Reminds me of an infuriating old bug in VirtualBox where it wouldn't notice the size of a file had changed. Devs were working in some Windows editor then using Git within VirtualBox to commit changes, resulting in inexplicable trailing nulls and garbage turning up in the repo

I think it depends on the net benefits. It’s odd to pose it as “squashing freedom” as I don’t think that anyone is proposing that FarmVille be banned or made illegal. I just think it’s a bad thing to make and not something to be proud of.

Timex makes a $120 GPS Ironman R300. It's apparently a Huami/Amazfit backend.

> Why can’t ordinary people use Jupyter?

Because it's not installed, and they don't want to and shouldn't have to learn something new when there's something not new already at hand which suffices.

If you ever find yourself saying something like, "people can just do X" and wondering why they don't, turn it around and ask yourself, "why can't I just do Y?" In this case, that would be, "Why can't I just make my notebooks work in the viewers that everyone already has agreed upon using (i.e. the WHATWG/W3C hypertext system, i.e. the web browser) instead of asking them to futz around with installing and learning Jupyter?". When you start making excuses for why not, it's the moment you should be able understand another person's reasons for why not Jupyter.
This is the frustrating thing about integrating with payment systems, it's far out of reach for a FOSS project like this.

Cryptocurrencies are better in that regard but few businesses accept cryptocurrencies, GNU Taler would also be better but I think that requires banks to be on board with it which they're also unlikely to do.
Lineage support is not really the full story though. For example, on the LG V20, Lineage does not support any of the specific hardware features of the phone (second screen, manual camera, etc...) so you are severely downgrading the user experience of the phone.
So it is more important than ever because there are no commit messages you could go through, right?
How to use flexible frame in SwiftUI
One of the reasons larger apps post unhelpful changelogs like these is because they probably run a feature flag/experimentation system. It is a backend driven system that allows app developers to remotely switch on and off features and code changes. This is really useful when rolling out updated features, you can roll it out gradually, eg 1%, 5%, 10%, 100%. Roll out a new feature 1% and notice its crashing for a subset of those users? Roll back the flag so users see the old UI and fix the problem for next release. It’s better than updating a feature for all and having it crash for everyone (yes, even with testing sometimes bugs sneak through, especially when you have millions of users).

It also allows app developers to bucket users in groups and A/B test experiments on users to see what works best. It would not be uncommon for the larger players (Microsoft, Google, Facebook, Pinterest, Uber, Spotify, etc) to have 100s or 1000s of experiments running concurrently. It also decouples rolling out features from App Store releases.

Having said that, I also hate generic changelog messages and not defending the practice.
If new features are to be launched with the build, write it in the changelog and add "(rolling out)" or
"(coming soon)" next to it.

Ah yes, this also fits with the famous "no insecure algorithms" in which an auditor will check a box if your use md5, even if for a feature totally unrelated to security.
I don't think calling it WSL2 was a mistake. It wasn't something that was good for the users, but it had a very clear benefit for the people working on WSL: calling it WSL2 allowed them to close WSL1 issues en masse as "fixed in WSL2" and never look at them again.
Out of curiosity, what don't you like about the Rust book? I personally loved it, reading about a year and a half ago. I thought they covered most of what I needed, was well written, and had plenty of good examples.

Given the absolute infallibility of the state in China, I suspect they declared "war won" and just stopped reporting any spread.

Run society like nothing is going on.

There's a reason NK and China made sure there were televised cities with people packed like sardines.
Two reasons:

+ Customers will often have no understanding of what you're saying, but still click the link and give low reviews for it's content.

+ More stuff the the app store review team to refuse publishing an update for.
This is like Fox News having an ombudsman for honesty and integrity in reporting.
I don’t know why people are downvoting you. I had the same question.
The article is nonsense:

- China is in the midst of a major famine

- the CCP is demolishing houses to resell the land

- there is major unemployment due to corona and the trade war.

The CCP is building a wall along the Vietnam border to prevent Chinese citizens from escaping from China.
One reason might be, is that they might need to in part work with a server-side system that runs on Linux and it’s easier this way.

But maybe they also need to work with stuff thats Windows only. Say they need to produce media assets with the Adobe suite.

Not everything is vimmable.
It's sad, however, when a highly non-exploitable crash is treated as a five alarm fire while a "silently corrupts users data" falls to the wayside because people don't generally write security vulnerability reports for those.

I've heard from some people that they have considered filing security CVEs against non-security but high user impact bugs in software that they're working on, just to regain control of priorities from CVE spammers.
As a tech person, I don't care.

Most general users of apps on phones wouldn't give an absolute crap if you "fixed a buffer overrun in the X function", because that means nothing to them. If they read that you've made performance improvements, then great they can continue to play Candy Crush but not have it crash so often. They won't CARE that you "optimised the use of the strcopy function" or some crap like that.

Remember the app stores are targeted towards consumer users of phones, not tech people that live on Hacker News websites.
> Is having a justice system considered nefarious coercion in any country?

The whole point of a justice system is coercion. It is usually considered non-nefarious to reward people for working and to withhold that reward when they do not work; while it is considered nefarious to force people to work and to punish them if they do not work. Simply put, not working should not be a crime.

> The problem is the conflation with the majority of trade school attendees in Xinjiang

Is there a conflation? It's rather immaterial how the majority is doing when the issue is the treatment of minorities. In any case, I'm curious whether you could point me to any statistics about trade school attendees in Xinjiang.
