Yeah it was in the first iPhone but you can't control the amount of zoom and it often guesses wrong or just doesn't work. I pretty much gave up on using it. On Android in most apps you can double tap, hold the second tap, then swipe up and down to zoom. It's a lot more natural than it sounds and it gives you precise control over both the zoom location and zoom amount.

On iOS you can try the gesture in Maps, and then wonder why they never added it to Safari.
And then how do you actually do the rooting in a way that doesn't make your phone fail to boot? What model of phone?
> It’s psychologically and economically almost impossible

For you. But I know quite a few mid 30s retirees.

I agree that a lot of people seem to have a problem with impulse control and trusting their own valuation, when everybody say "it's wrong - it's a fad - it's tulip/beanies".

Eventually you tune out everyone and learn to laugh all the way to the bank at the HN nonsense.

BTW I wouldn't dismiss DOGE as a fad if I were you. Same mistake again and again on HN: regular people doing something? They must be wrong!

Turns out regular people want a crypto they don't feel bad about, and that's not owned by big banks like BTC/ETH or anarchists like XMR/ZEC. There aren't many that can deliver, and DOGE is one of them.

Do you have a position, or are you planning to fail again?

Because the WSB mob is out for blood, and if GME is any sign, they are foaming at the mouth. DOGE should have been a simple pump, but it's still around 900 sats

I give it 3 days (time for the deposits to clear and for people to coordinate) until it starts again.

Redditors have stated their goal: parity to the USD. They are half way though.

> There aren’t many Bitcoin millionaires through speculation or early mining alone.

The best way not to win is not to play, alleging it's psychologically and economically impossible.

EDIT: for the reply with a quote of DOGE in cents: They just did a 10x event. All they need is another 10x event to get DOGE on par with USDT.

They have already done one with minimal coordination and media attention, so I call that half way through because they already did half the work. It was done in a few days, thus a log scale seems applicable.

Of course, if you care about the linear value in fiat currencies, we have different values, so you may prefer a different choice of words.
Atoms Founder Sidra’s Journey on Humans of New York
The thing is not many people want to do this kind of charity.

The only way to solve this is to develop a technology that is advanced enough and cheap enough that everybody can guarantee themselves shelter, food, warmth without any other human involved.
Yeah, in Android that's been available for a long time in almost all apps that support zooming, not just Maps. Most critically, Chrome.
Love my OnePlus 6, it hasn't aged one bit since I bought it. Glad to see development happening in an "old" but capable device.
Indeed, for a long time there was no freestanding compiler (Oberon is also an operating system) which you could use to create programs on any computer. The OBNC compiler, which transpiles to C, solves this problem:

In California, if you sign up for something on-line the law requires that you be able to cancel it on-line, too. This has been a wonderful development, and now it's easy to cancel things like XM subscriptions, etc.
Agreed. Store of value with as much "intrinsic" value (i.e., no one knows and determined by supply / demand) as any other asset.
X11 was designed at a time when local networks carried only a few megabits per second. But apps back then didn't depend on sending lots of bitmaps over the wire, just mostly drawing primitives.
Google counts up every minute users spend using their electronic devices.

In their world view, every single minute per day spent looking at screens that don’t have Google ad targeting is a minute that a competitor is stealing value from Google.
Firstly - maybe someone knowledgeable will come along, but but I wouldn't hold my breath - most people here have never touched an off-grid setup. Some might have some form of feed-in tarriff with solar on the roof, but that's totally not the same.

Secondly - there is not enough information here to provide real advice - do you mean that you are normally connected to the grid, but need to survive an interruption of 24 hours? In that case the generator suggestion might make sence. Or do you mean that it is a total off-grid location that needs to be self-sufficient, in which case the generator idea is idiotic.

Just saying 'Africa' is not enough, look for solar irradiance map and and figure out your annual solar incidence. That will inform how you size your solar panels - their power rating are given under standard incidence of 1000W / m2, so you can basically multiply annual irradiance to figure out how much power they will collect in a year.

For example a single 300W panel in the middle of Sudan will give you 720 kwh per year, or ~ 2KW/h per day. Same panel in Gabon will givey ou half as much. Then you have to account for seasons, in UK we get almost 8 times less sun in winter than in summer - you can't compensate for seasons with batteries, so you need more panels.

Batteries compensate for periods of bad weather and nights - they need to be sized according to weather and importance of the load: what happens if there is some unusual bad weather and power runs out, how important is the load? Are we going to be stuck without a TV, or is someone's life on the line? There is also a balancing act - you can compensate for bad weather by getting more panels or more batteries. Example of a battery bank: https://www.photonicuniverse.com/en/catalog/full/359-24kWh-4...

Then there are furhter spesifics -> is space at a premium? Is the load DC or AC? With DC you don;t need an inverter and you avoid losses.

Here is a UK centric calculator, just to sanity check some numbers: https://energysavingtrust.org.uk/tool/solar-energy-calculato...

Generally you will have local firms that specialise in installing solar and they will do a better job of providing advice than NK.
I'd second this. Switching to US ANSI layout (not US International layout) is like magic, I find it so much better that I always import my keyboards from the US, and only buy laptops if they have the US layout.

Brazil uses a national standard called ABNT2 (which I consider to be an awful format), but to my advantage, I find the way Macs do accentuation (at least for latin alphabets) to be quite sensible (alt+vowel), and get angry whenever I have to use Linux because it doesn't have "Mac accents"

For your case though, I think the Nordic alphabet might be trickier on the US layout, since it shares less common ground and there's a lot more to it
The question is not whether to get the jab, but to understand why the production is what it is. "get" as in "grok" as in "understand fully".

A better example of useful-to-developers-software-that-isn't-available on Linux would be prototyping and UI design apps like Sketch, Principle, ProtoPie, Framer Desktop, and Origami Sudio. There’s a good list here (https://uxtools.co/tools/prototyping).

I’d also argue that the Adobe Creative Suite is a great grab bag of tools generally useful in communication and digital asset preparation crossing the gamut from bitmap, vector, video, and motion graphics, all of which have uses when working with software, especially user-facing applications.
By default, to me, it is not sorted by date in the correct order.

AFAIK most prepackeged UPS devices are a battery and inverter. My hot take is that if you need to run this device continuously it will be a substantial (& custom?) build. The biggest factor is how portable it needs to be.

Overview: Most solar outputs 12 or 24v, so what often happens is solar -> controller -> battery (or bus) -> inverter -> your device.

Batteries: Many batteries are rated for 100ah at 12 volts (so 1.2 kw hours). You would need 2+ of them to run the system purely off them for about an hour. You can buy much beefier batteries designed for residential homes (e.g. 3' x 2' x 1' in size, 10kwh, $5,000+ for lithium, etc..).

Solar: The panels you might see on top of a camper often generate 100 watts each, so you would need 20+ of them to continuously sustain your device. Can be 250 watts or a bit more, so 8+ panels.

I've only worked on electrical for a camper, so could be missing other options! AFAIK your requirements aren't crazy for residential solar setups.
>If most of HN knows how to set up git and stand up a web server, why do most of use Github instead of running Gitlab on a home pc

You missed the point of the article. It wasn't advocating for everyone to run their own servers.
git is a protocol, github is a site that wraps the protocol with its own rules. There's nothing wrong with that. Github is like the Gmail example of the article. Facebook is not.

It also wasn't advocating for zero moderation.
Yup Macports would upgrade everything and break stuff like FFI code. That is exactly why I prefer to use a Linux LTS release like Debian, Ubuntu or even openSuSE Leap with it's 18 month release cycle and uneventful upgrades that you can now even roll back.

But while G.M.’s U-turn materialized in the weeks after the election, five of its competitors — BMW, Ford, Honda, Volkswagen and Volvo — had already legally bound themselves to tougher fuel economy standards in a deal with California. G.M. is not party to that agreement and can operate under the Trump rules until Mr. Biden’s policies are enacted, potentially giving the company more time to invest in research and technology.

Interesting graf. The implication seems to be ICE fuel economy regs may be/have been sucking R&D money away from the electric switchover. We absolutely need to avoid writing fuel economy regulations in a way that disincentivizes electric investment.

Back when I was a kid, I found most of the Super Mario World SNES game doable with some practice, but there was some really hard stuff in the Star Road Special [0], I don't think I finished that part.

But just finishing the game and beating Bowser as a kid, definitely did that.

Say you demonstrate it in a fullproof way, what are you seeking damages for? A store kicking your product out according to the agreement?

I.e. the thing you need to show in court isnt that Google stopped selling your app in its store because it didn't like it rather that it's a monopolistic marketplace or the terms are somehow invalid or so on. These are much higher bars, especially with 3rd party stores and side loading being available and used on the platform. It's considered a battle to prove these things in the Apple ecosystem I can't imagine trying to prove them in Play first.
The way to differentiate posts on social media
Dropbox's selling point is its simplicity. Apple's as well, for that matter. It's perfectly fine to have simplicity as your selling point.

Many people, myself included, love products that "just work" out of the box. That's what everything should be like, ideally. My gripe with modern technology is that it actively inhibits your ability to go in and tinker. DRM, forced app stores, code signing with enforced signing identity, all that kind of stuff.

See, imagine someone releases an amazing messaging app that's lightyears ahead of everything else on the market. But — it's only available through F-Droid or as an apk download on the developer's website. People will flock there and install it. And they will be unstoppable.

A concrete example of this phenomenon: Pokemon Go wasn't officially released in Russia, so you couldn't download it from the app stores. Yet, everyone played it. And I mean everyone, in 2016, especially during summer, you couldn't take a walk in the downtown St Petersburg without hearing the Pokemon Go sounds from people's phones. Android users sideloaded apks, iOS users created separate Apple IDs to bypass the geoblock. Suddenly everyone educated themselves to get the thing they wanted.

This assumes that large landowners and food conglomerates are 100% rentiers.

You're looking at 4 hours insolation in winter in subsaharan regions. Also assume cloud cover drops panel output to 50% for consecutive days. You're gonna need 25kW of panels and 30kWh+ of battery storage.

While this might be useful in certain cases, don't get your hopes up: i18n will break your carefully laid out equal width layout. E.g. many german terms will be longer than the english equivalent, causing all the same problems, just even more annoying because you as an english-speaking developer won't notice until it hits your foreign users.

Give up on pixel-perfect design or give up on i18n. You cannot have both (or rather you cannot afford a redesign for each new translation).

Oof, the article vividly describes the oil and auto industries' utter indifference to externalities and the monomaniacal pursuit of profit by corporate organisms.

The single biggest expense will be your battery. If I understand you correctly, you want to power a 2kw device for 24 hrs.

Not sure how things are in the UK, but in the US, this is pretty much spot on. You'll see all sorts of curriculum pop up from grade school through universities to "teach" the SJW topic du jour.

It's gone so far that the SF school board is more worried about names of their schools named after American greats than they are re-opening schools (which have been closed in California since March).

Also, on AI classifiers, I think there are far too many nuanced situations to completely replace mods, and your comment about this is very hand-wavy, and even if you are right, we still need to deal with the problems we have now, not defer them by saying there will be a solution in the future.
