I am surprised no one in here has mentioned Sailfish OS. It is Linux based. I really enjoy mine. I own it like I own my couch. I highly recommend it for those that are interested like myself.

Sure, I do not have the latest phone model, I have it on my Sony XA2 and Cosmo communicator. It has issues with some playstore things, but I also do not care. I can do 90% of what I want on them and the rest I save for my computer. I like the separation.
If I understand right, the argument is that to really want a Linux phone means to want to write your own code for your phone?

Does that mean that Linux in general is only for people who want to write their own code? I kind of thought some people thought Linux could be for anyone, not just for coders. Despite it not really taking off as a consumer desktop, I remember when people thought it could/should and it would be good if it did. Are those days gone? Now people think linux is just for coders, and if you don't want to write your own code you shouldn't use linux?
great ! see you soon
I am a professional artist and I just wanna note that the idea of users being able to customize the fuck out of their tools is all well and good, but realistically:

It takes multiple years of focused effort to get good at the other skills involved in using a tool.

And it takes no small amount of investment of time and energy to get to the point where you have the programming skills to modify the tool.

Plus of course the inner calculations of "will trying to modify this thing be likely to find any success before I have spent more time trying to hack it than I will ever save by doing this" need to at least look like they will come up favorably.

I mean, someone in the community is probably gonna have that combination, this past month I've been looking at picking up Adobe Animate for the first time in like 15 years to do some animation, and I went looking for plugins for it and found a few paid plugins made by a dude who started working in the animation scene around the same time I did, and never left it; this man has clearly found a lot of pain points in the process of cranking out the footage in Flash/Animate and built plugins to fix those holes long before Adobe could be bothered (and it sounds like there are a lot of unlicensed copies of his plugins floating around studios, too), and if I find this one animation gig I'm being coaxed out of retirement to be enough fun that I wanna take a few more, you can bet your ass that I'm gonna give this dude like sixty bucks for his well-polished patches in Adobe's UI rather than spending the time getting up to speed on making Animate plugins.

And this is coming from someone who hangs out on HN and has a tidy little collection of homebrew scripts for Illustrator, the art tool she spends most of her creative time in.

There is an adoption process for truly inactive maintainers: http://neilb.org/2013/07/24/adopt-a-module.html - you can also often get somewhere by just asking the current maintainer nicely by email. The timeliness of the process in the event of a non-repsonsive maintainer depends on luck and how much depends on the module. In the end it doesn't matter if a group or a person adopts it - someone still has to decide to do the work.
Almost all budget and mid range android phones come with invasive tracking, bloat, and ads now. The worst part is you cannot flash a custom rom without crippling your device to almost a feature phone. Many apps use safety net now. You can temporarily bypass it using magisk but Google will get rid of it soon through hardware key attestation.

Flagship phones are too expensive for me and they don't come with features like a good charger, headphone jack, big battery, etc. Most of them also suffer from Android ecosystem problems. Slow security updates and trash apps in the playstore.

iPhone is expensive too and iOS limits your freedom even more. You cannot customize the layout or app drawer too much. You cannot use non-web kit browser. Adblockers are crippled on iOS. Notch and suffers from the same problem as Android flagships. Lack of easy side loading.

All I want is a phone which respects me. I don't care if it's Linux based or not.
Thanks for your feedback added to my todo list !
> Globalization is fine in some areas but when a generation can live off of pizza and burgers and yet have never tasted an Italian pizza or non-McDonalds style burger the world is a much poorer place. Everyone is turning into Americans. Asian Americans, Scandinavian Americans, etc.

It's people attempting to make use of what they purchased.

They enjoy the use of a tablet for consuming media, but would like to take a step further. Apple themselves put the challenge out, with their "What's a computer" ad, and the whole "Pro" marketing with the Magic Keyboard and whatnot. It does work as a pro tool, but not for everyone, especially us more techie people. It's great for artists and creators in general.

With the release of the Apple M1, I'm more inclined to believe things will remain as they are, as Apple essentially doubled down on macOS. I once believed Apple would eventually release an Xcode for the iPad Pro, but not anymore. I'd argue that if you're not going to make strong use of the Apple Pencil or the general use of a tablet, you're better off getting an M1. It has the iPad's battery life AND macOS.
> It can easily be said that any UI is fundamentally a state machine

This doesn't make sense to me as a criticism of Redux. Redux is a giant state machine. That's all it is. Actions are transitions and the store is the current state. The state transition table is the reducer.

The Redux architecture (and the Elm architecture that inspired it) is about the purest expression of a state machine you're likely to find in any architecture. The fact that a UI is just a giant state machine is the whole reason these architectures were created in the first place.

Redux is tricky and boilerplate-y because of some interactions with React, because it doesn't come with a built-in mechanism for handling interactions with the world "outside" the UI (e.g. interactions with the backend), and because JS doesn't have facilities for immutability out of the box and rather you must bolt on post-hoc solutions.
GTK and Qt were designed for desktops. Why would you expect them to perform as well?
I want a phone that is just a computer. I don't want a phone that tells me where I am allowed to install software from, or where I am allowed to get it from. I just want a computer that is small and has a phone in it.

I've had a Nokia N900 and the few Palm/HP Pre models that were released, the former ran Maemo and the latter webOS. Both OSes were based on Linux.

I want a Linux kernel, because even though today I'd list the modern niceties like namespaces, containers, WireGuard, NFS 4.2+, back in the Maemo days, having a Linux kernel still paid dividends. All of the standard networking and WLAN debugging tools you had on desktop Linux were available in your pocket, FUSE meant you could use sshfs, etc. The userland was the same GNU userland you'd find on most Linux distros, you could use X11 forwarding via ssh, GTK apps worked, and you had apt as the system package manager.

I want that again. Android doesn't come close, and neither does iOS.
No, having armed people show up to force them to turn down the music (by first threatening violence with their armed presence, and then applying actual violence if that doesn't work) is the point of escalation. Armed law enforcement is not a reasonable response to loud music, full stop.

I always had this in mind when i lived in London. In my experience i found the combination of vehicle exhaust pollution and pollen unbearable. Somehow the vehicle exhaust particles combine with the pollen and exacerbated my pollen allergies. I had zero allergies growing up and developed a very bad pollen allergy in south west London, then i moved to rural Dorset and i don’t have any allergies any more. Still get tons of pollen (i.e rural Dorset) but less pollution. I wonder if anyone has analysed the combination of vehicle exhaust pollution plus pollen?

Also, many agricultural workers work in tight quarters with each other, often with no meaningful PPE (and are usually poor with little health coverage or ability to even take a day off during peak season). A relative almost died because his wife (who worked in food packaging) got it at work and infected the whole family. This was in Spain in the summer.

Actual agricultural work is rarely the ‘farmer driving his tractor in a big empty field’ - contract labor has pretty harsh working conditions in many cases.

It’s a useful like-grouping term, which is why we still use it. Hawaii refers to it as the mainland and Alaska refers to it as the lower 48 because you can’t get from Alaska or Hawaii to the lower 48 without either crossing international waters by air or sea or going through another country overland.

It does come up when discussing shipping and transportation, but Alaska and Hawaii also each have a distinct enough culture and distinctly different set of challenges. Every State along the Colorado river is part of an interstate compact to manage water rights, but if Alaska has a dispute with British Columbia over some resource along their borders, that’s an international matter that pulls in the Department of State and Canada’s, Foreign Office? I know some of the British offices but I’m actually not familiar with Canada’s government agency nomenclature.

> Now imagine your entire life was that.

No, because you should shape your life differently in that case. The people I know who were both intelligent and depressed dramatically improved their life by doing less thinking.

Exercise, play a musical instrument, explore nature, help people in need, go after that girl/guy you like.

But no. Instead, those aforementioned people spent the majority of their time doing stuff that require intelligence: solving hard problems, debating others "for fun", philosophising. And then, at the end of the day, they felt sorry for themselves because they were oh so intelligent.

Luckily they fixed their issues, and I'm convinced that most people who fall in this category can do the same.

I write apps for Android for a living.

This summer I wanted to hack with LineageOS or something like that. XDA developers said there was a good build for a new Samsung Android tablet so I bought it. I guess I should have read more as Samsung does not use the standard Android bootloader to flash but something called Odin, which is not available (although some people say they have a Windows tool that works). I could query some other non-Samsung Android devices I had with the Android flash tool, but there were no good builds for them or I was unable to build, or I didn't want to risk flashing that specific device.

I might try again this year. I'll look to see what non-Samsung tablets are selling near around here, then look online to see what might have a decent LineageOS or similar build, and then get it. If I flash and brick some cheap, new Android tablet it's not that big of a deal. It's one of the reasons I got into Android programming in the first place, that it is free/open and I can hack around on it like I can my Linux laptop. I thought by 2020 it would be easier to flash a tablet and install LineageOS but I guess it takes a little more effort. I did miss some things though like that Samsung does not use standard Android flash.

If I really needed it I would have done it already, but I was doing it on the weekend for fun, so when I ran into trouble and other things came up, I shelved it for a little while.

> aber https://www.dwds.de/wb/Schl%C3%BCssel#etymwb-1 says something about Latin origin too)

It doesn't say that "Schlüssel" has a Latin origin (see also https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Schl%C3%BCssel for an etymology). It says that some terms related to Latin "clavis" have corresponding German terms formed by somewhat analogous derivation from "Schlüssel". Most prominently "Schlüsselbein", literally "key bone", from "clavicula" (clavicle).
And moreover the previous ciphers didn't reveal anything about the identity of the killer either. It was just propaganda.

I've just learned that the ESP32 is manufactured on a TSMC 40mm process. That's essentially caveman tech.

All those foundries based on old processes should be churning out at least equivalent (if not more capable) chips.

Heck, forget ESP32, is there a ESP8266 equivalent that's entirely made in the USA? Would love to use that instead - for many reasons.
No, my feedback is that it's not clear what you meant. I guess I wasn't very clear either.
Let me just clarify, sorry i'm from python, so not very familiar but this feels like a "circular reference". You're implementing a struct CartStore which has methods GetById, and Put. Because interfaces (or contracts) are implicit then it's automatically considered a Cart.

What I don't understand is the return types of these functions, a pointer to a cart's cart member? or an error.

Linux users want phones with comfortable infrastructure that is hackable, and known, and richly powerful, with a wide base of people generating creative contributions. Linux isn't popular (with the hip crowd) because merely because it's better (though it is), or because it's hackable (though it is) Linux is popular because it's a rich technical ecosystem with robust layers of technology operating together but each modifiable, lovingly adopted by power users, each opting in to trying to improve themselves & their systems.

You can recreate the "ability to make modifications" (although you'll struggle to come to anywhere near the seriously integrated layers of technology Linux environments so robustly build). You can offer "Freedom and transparency" to be able to tinker. But it's the co-participation with other tinkerers, with many venerable but separate & adjustable/hackable layers, that makes Linux so rifely diverse & compelling.

In short, my strong belief is: people want Linux phones. The technical ecosystem is more interesting as a whole than any array of boxes/capabilities one might tick.
I get the feeling they were talking about the commute/lunch/break overhead not slagging off for an extra 20 hours per week because they weren’t supervised.

Also, "calling people without asking"? It's a little extreme to place this social norm you have on the whole of society.

so the origin of masculine feminine in IE is weird. The issue is that Hittite, the oldest attested IE language has two genders animate and inanimate. These are very very conventional. The sea Aruna is animate, but a grindstone is inanimate! Tocharian also has evidence of the animate inanimate split, but tocharian is such a mess no one knows what to make of it. All other IE language families (besides the weirdos like Armenian) have or had 3 genders.
The question is the relationship between Hittite and the rest of IE. Most indoeuropeanists think Hittite (and maybe tocharian) split before the rest of the IE languages, which after the split developed gender and other things that Hittite lacks, before splitting in turn. That said, it’s possible that masculine and feminine merged in Hittite, and the trigender system came first.
I fear that while COVID lockdowns have proven that we can wfh just fine, the trauma of experiencing wfh during a pandemic has poisoned the well and the popular meme (at least in the US) is not all about socializing and “culture”.

Working from in the pandemic is simply not the same as doing so voluntarily with a good setup and proper social circle. Hell, even remote first companies get together in person periodically. The framing of WFH as all or nothing forever is toxic and not true.

I personally want flexibility. There is little point for me to spend days in the office running from one conf room to another in 30 min increments, often taking up space that could be used for 5-6 people just by myself because I’m coordinating with another office a lot. On days like that my home standing desk is fine and more efficient. When we need to brainstorm and whiteboard, sure office is fine.
