iSH almost looks usable and then you try compiling something or cloning a git repo and your iphone will get hotter than a pinephone watching youtube (and whatever you do can be fairly precisely measured in ~15 minute increments because it takes ages.)
I didn't mean free as in "costs $0". The software comes with a restrictive, proprietary license, and no source code is provided.

> There are also technical reasons why `svelte.each` would be problematic...

I am not suggesting that the svelte.each() call be moved into a library; I'm proposing that the callsite is trivial to identify in the AST. Svelte compiler could then do the same thing that it does now.
Sadly there won’t be a video of the inevitable empty abandoned husk getting explosively imploded.

> I would guess it was deemed a threat, though. Now if you had said "I'm going to kill you one of these days, X", that would be protected because the threat isn't imminent.

I think there's a difference between the "true threats" and "imminent lawless action" issues: that is, I think true threats are unprotected even if they aren't imminent. I think the imminent lawless action issue relates more to incitement issues, while the true threats issue relates more to, well, threats to harm specific people. But

... same here!
This is not a complex problem, as the rail yard is a completely controlled environment. It is not a major engineering problem to have the train move slowly past a point where a crane can pick off the trailer and put it on a tug. The tug then parks the trailer somewhere in the yard. When the truck shows up, the tug retrieves the trailer and brings it to the truck.

Think of a moving assembly line. It's the same thing.

It doesn't have to be economical for every city. It can be done profitably in an incremental manner, starting with the highest volume lines.
What makes you think it'd be about free speech rather than about Trump worship? /r/the_donald had heavy censorships and a huge banlist people saying anything not pro-Trump.

Also I am not sure of the demand for a free speech alternative. It'd be full of extremists(from all sides) and trolls. Gab and Parler come to mind.
> I don't think allowing revocation of a token by any bearer of the token is much of a security issue. Consider a real world example, if one finds a credit card someone dropped on the street it can be reported as lost and revoked by the issuer even though the reporter is not the owner.

Whether or not it's a security issue depends on how the token is being used. Allowing potentially arbitrary parties to revoke tokens right before, say, a critical security release feels like a potential issue to me. Then again, I suppose they could do that by proxy by just publishing it on GitHub and letting the secret scanner do the work.

Long story short: I'm idly speculating. For all I know, they did it because allowing arbitrary parties to report leaked secrets would result in unacceptably high FP rates. I wasn't privy to the decision.
The one place where react typings are disappointing to me is that all elements are typed as JSX.Element, meaning you can’t assert a specific type of child element. Usually not a big deal but would be useful in a number of cases.

I agree. I think realistically, the US will always have its own fab capability for the foreseeable future. I think if the capability were spread around the world though as I described above, it would be pretty difficult to cut off any one country.

If you wanted to get really out there, I wonder if it would be possible to place certain capabilities under international control. I think this is already the case with the ITER fusion project, we don't usually do this with commodities.
What is the trans movement if not the movement for acceptance of trans people? I don't see a meaningful distinction between bashing the idea that trans people should be accepted and bashing trans people.

There's of course the right wing strawman of what a trans movement is with ideas of forcing children to be gender neutral or opposite gender or bathroom panics, or that super straight needs to be a thing etc., but presenting that strawman is something that is bashing trans people
Unlike Intel, Samsung is first and foremost a component maker. Almost every phone makers use their commodified displays, batteries, memory/storage chips -- Samsung's phone division is just a side business.

I don’t really understand the technical details of compression schemes, but my piece of anecdata is this: in my experience installing/maintaining CCTV systems, using H.265 over H.264 approximately halves the used bandwidth and storage for the same video quality. This is much more pronounced in static/less active scenes, but is still a measurable benefit in highly active scenes.
This is why I'm all for the future of apps being web-based. Write once, and able to run everywhere.
I have honestly never thought of the word passion in those terms. To me, it has always been an intensley positive word with connotations of love and wellbeing - but I can see how someone could go through life with your definition and have every instance of the word passion make sense, but mean something different than it means to me, and also simultaneously make sense to me.
A good student.
> I wonder how they defined moving versus non-moving things?

Their concept of "moving things" was what is often translated as "self-movers" in translations of works like those of Aristotle. The idea was that they were things that could move without anything else controlling them. Cars and boats don't move unless humans are controlling them. But animals do.
Also, screen capture software usually needs to minimize CPU usage so you can actually, yknow, do the stuff you are trying to record. The blog post mentions that the transcode caused his laptop to heat way up. It was almost certainly a way different encoder profile.
Yes, in fact here is a video of a pinephone running WhatsApp using Anbox: https://youtu.be/Y-9Wmki7DsU?t=2007

download the apk from https://www.whatsapp.com/android/, start anbox (this takes a while), install android-tools, adb install WhatsApp.apk, done. It also works with stuff like Duo Mobile, which is the 2FA my organization uses (which is interesting because it doesn't agree with my rooted lineageOS phone).

Anbox comes by default on current versions of Manjaro

Canberra, Australia, lived 19 years there as adult.

Designed and planned from the beginning, founded in 1913.

Has several "town centres" with the similar idea of "close to everywhere you need to be".

But imbalances of distribution through all the various factors of life mean one town centre has better [X], another has better [Y], your [Z] hobby group may be mostly in another area and your friends and family end up all over the place.

And so you travel everywhere anyway.
indeed. and that "rural" lifestyle really often involves driving far and often, therefore pushing your fossil fuel & auto (ev or otherwise) externalities on other people.

i think we should remove the cars from the cities, not remove the people from the cities. People were there first after all
Not sure about this anymore. You dont seem to get interviews at google anymore if you apply directly via the website. Much like the support policy for their "products," you need to know someone within, be aligned politically from your past with the person and only then get a call. In short, Google has become good at hiring cliques.
I have a Linux phone because I'm really just tired of fighting against OS vendors to do basic shit like file management or text editing or scheduling background processes or running chat clients or compiling apps (god forbid compiling the OS or running a self hosting dev environment on the device) or pretty much anything other drooling while scrolling through <insert favorite drug>.

I honestly don't mind when something is legitimately broken, especially when I have the tools to work around it. For the first few months the dialing app didn't work, fine, I just wrote some shell scripts to poke AT commands into the modem myself. The thing that makes Linux phones much nicer is the much weaker distinction between users and developers. If something is broken then you can just go fix it (or rip it out or hack around it.) I strongly dislike palm OS style UIs so I switched my phosh session file out for flux box. Many people won't like that and I don't have to care.
And what are individual humans but groups of cells trying to stave off entropy and survive just a bit longer?
Compression depends on a variety of factors - content, type of frames being used (I-P, I-3/7B-P, etc.).
Bit rate vs Distortion curve also has to be considered. PSNR of encoded content is a metric. Click bait without much info.
Can you actually buy a phone with LineageOS and proper hardware support?
Depends? Playing baseball and getting hit in the gooch with a bad bounce is common occurrence. If you never played baseball or a sport where you are not gratuitously hit by object or person the gooch isn't really in the popular vernacular. Come to think of it, I wonder what Cricket players call it... lol.
This is an argument that most people come to an initial conclusion for.

Unfortunately economics doesn’t work this way.

You need a steady supply of new borns to support and be providers / producers who then in turn take care of the elderly this is the way society works and has for centuries.

A countries work output is determined to some large degree by their population size.

Just look at Japan and see how it stagnated as a world super power. Almost a century ago Japan was poised to be a world super power just like the US.

That sounds strange to me. It implies that the US doesn't have a rail network, just rail lines that don't connect to anything.
Until you try to do something svelte doesn't understand. Then it'd silently break. Templates are powerful _because_ of the restrictions they place, not in spite of them.

I think a much better recommendation would be an existing template language, iff svelte could understand it with perfect parity.

I hate being handed normal syntax to use when not all of it is normal, or when using it has different semantics than the syntax usually carries.

Some polish would help. Ubuntu phone OS is just awful. The first thing I did was starting to check what else is available. That is not a step a typical use is willing to make.

I want control over my devices, so linux phone is not a bad idea. We keep missing on execution though.

Yes, my next phone will be a Linux phone. I'm just done with Android and iOS. They're terrible operating systems run by massive companies with entirely way too much control, money and power.
I think we're using the word passion differently. I have certainly gone through periods of time when I have completley lost interest in programming - for a variety or reasons, possibly involving working too much. But, I'd say that in these circumstances I have lost my passion for programming (and was fortunate to get it back later).

My point is more that there really are people who contribute to OSS and whatnot for no reason other than that they felt good doing so. I think this is a behavior to be encouraged and celebrated. I agree with the author's point that we shouldnt encourage extra suffering-inducing work for the sake of it, but disagree with his take that all acts of extra-curricular work cause suffering in those that do it.
No, there were two chips in the iPhones and one had significantly worse battery life
A lot of grammar is not arbitrary but just has a very rich history that is not apparent and sometimes not even traceable anymore.

Schlüssel basically is a combination of schließen (close) and the ending -el.
Here this is the third meaning of -el listed on wiktionary: "suffix in agent and instrumental nouns". (https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/-el#German). As far as I can see all of the words that have this version of the -el suffix are masculine.

Languages are full of those rules that just are not apparent anymore, because they are so deeply layered and often apply to only a few words that they are not useful to learn.
> Those three billion people don't live in too close proximity.

Apologies if I misunderstood your point but I would think many of those people do live in close proximity.

My view is from anecdotal evidence not research, but its common to see wood/charcoal/dung fires when you see how people cook in slums all over the world. These people are tightly packed and very much using wood or similar to cook alongside gas/metho type stoves.
I thought it interesting that the "public software" terminology was floated again. There was some debate in 2016 when Nadia Eghbal brought it up as an alternative to "open source".

I don't understand this comment. Am I not allowed to use Linux if I haven't ever committed code to an open source project? I've been using Linux for 15 years. Are you taking away my Linux card and am I being banned from the platform?

Because your argument makes no sense at all as to why I might want a Linux phone. I want a Linux phone for the same reasons why I use a Linux laptop and PC. Freedom, control over my computing environment and my data, that sort of thing.

Taking a step back, there is no mobile OS out there that provides the things that I want. The closest that I've seen is Linux for the PinePhone. So, yeah, I want a Linux phone. It's not that my initial premise was "I want a Linux phone". It's "I want control and I want to have the freedom to do what I want with my device, so what system currently offers that kind of freedom while being feasible on technical and usability levels?"
RoadPony is a new way to support musicians by crowdsourcing concerts
Hey all,

Just wanted to get some feedback on a project I just launched called RoadPony: www.roadpony.com

It's a platform make it easier for performers to book shows in areas where they have the best opportunities for solid attendance and income.

It's also a platform that will allow fans to show performers their interest in the performer and entice them to come to their area to play.
The current version is just to gauge interest with lite features.

Artists can create a profile with links, photos, bio, and music. And they can see who favorited their profile and who and where they are requested to play.

Fans can create a profile to favorite and request artists in their city and state at a specific venue.

If there’s enough interest, we’ll build out the campaign element.

Let me know if you have and questions, issues or suggestions!
ubuntu's big problem is that they try to be everything to everyone.

There's room for a phone linux, a user/corporate client linux, an enterprise linux or two. It's pretty tough for a company, even the well funded ones to do all three. MS missed phone, google missed enterprise, redhat doesn't really do phone or client (fedora I guess but it's not really a paid product). Then, you got scrappy ubuntu that's gonna reinvent phones and debian and do server support, and they are kinda just bad at all of it . . ..

It is actually not okay because like many things in nature we see a resilience that allows whatever process to continue but that could suddenly end. Also things tend to get worse at an exponential rate so although it may not be horrible now we may be heading towards something much bigger and worse. We have plenty of room on earth we just don’t do a good job of allocating resources.
How would you if your hardware can or cannot decode h.265? Would it simply not play or might play but stutter, or play in some compromised way?
Gotcha.

So I may be in a weird spot then. I am trying to get mmsd (not modem manager) into Debian proper. Mmsd itself is not in Debian at all.

Per my original comment, I have tried to contact the ofono (mmsd) maintainers via IRC and their mailing list no less than four times to get my patches upstreamed (every time I have been ignored), and at this point I have given up trying to contact them. One of the ofono maintainers has mentioned that mmsd hasn't been worked on in over 8 years, so I think its abandoned.

The Debian on Mobile (i.e. the Mobian and Purism devs) maintainers think the best course of action is to package upstream mmsd, then update with my changes.
I think so. These types of ciphers are definitely vulnerable to analysis across messages especially if you can make a guess about something common to both messages (eg - common ending like “sincerely”).
At a 100,000+ company it would be impossible to generalize
I have another comment referring to Canberra, Australia. They failed on the public transport front. They are trying to do better.

On the whole, I think city planners should design everything around public transport and it should be seen for the societal value add, rather than as a public expense.

Sadly, in Canberra it is buses, often once an hour. And most people feel as though if you catch a bus, it is a social signal that you are not doing very well.

Doing public transport well is hard.

But Canberra laid a good foundation for great bicycle riding!

I have a stomach and if I don't fill it I'll die. Food isn't easy to come by. I don't see how you can build a political philosophy without taking facts like that into account. If we lived in Eden, if I could walk around and do whatever I want without dying, we wouldn't need politics or government.

But nature's oppression isn't an immutable fact. We have vaccines, GMO crops, houses, and other technology. To some degree, we are liberated from nature today. I've ignored every hurricane I've ever lived through.

Unhappily, domination (as in, arbitrary interference, not as in literal slavery) is necessary in order for us to escape from nature. In order for that to change we either have to decide we don't mind being dominated by nature (opt out, a perfectly reasonable decision, be my guest hackernews posters) or we have to invent lots of science fiction technology to do all the labor that keeps civilization running. Small countries with lots of natural resources may be able to achieve non-domination but that's only because there are big countries to buy the resources.
I don't think unloading it is an option. I wonder if they will get ships to push it.

As with nauta, pirata, and poeta, the suffix -ista is also borrowed from Greek which is a source of many masculine 1st declension loanwords in Latin.

I was talking with some people from Facebook about whether Facebook was too evil to work at. They said Facebook only wishes it could ever someday be as evil as Google. Nowadays even Microsoft wishes that. Not sure where Apple fits: they have a lock on contempt for users, but do they hate everyone else equally?
I would guess consuming the amount of wood required to implement such a transaction history might end up proving to have disastrous results on the environment.
I would agree with the article that the idea of freedom is old precisely because it was misunderstood.

Freedom for most of history meant the degree one was free to act / work under the thumb of a capricious landowner / empowered polity (ie majority rule). There was no clearly defined line and that led to constant conflict.

Discussion of freedom prior to 18th century did not touch on the freedom of the state vs freedom of the individual precisely because it treated everyone as part of the same body of rights. There was no dividing line, and thus no freedom, as we know the term, today.

Is a benevolent dictator any different from a democracy that is unencumbered by constitutional rights ?
The Database of Useful Biological Numbers
For science, I just took a 10 second screen recording of my Mac with nothing but my tiny mouse cursor moving around for a few seconds which means a very static shot. The recording came out at 7.5MB. There was no audio in the original recoding.

I then used that as a source to transcode with x264 crf 23. New filesize 2.0M. ~26%

ffmpeg -i input.mov -c:v libx264 -crf 23 x264.mp4

Next, I used the same 7.5MB source to transcode with x265 crf 28. New filesize 968KB. ~13%

ffmpeg -i input.mov -c:v libx265 -crf 28 x265.mp4

CRF values were taken from [0] which states x265 crf28 should produce same visual quality of x264 crf23, but at half the size. That holds true.

So, I don't think the author's post is bogus. They just lose points for not showing their work (not that they did it, but you know).

Edit 2: I have no idea what the author of the post used for encode settings. I picked 2 based on the vendor's claim the 2 settings should look the same at half the bit rate. I easily could have changed the values to lower the bitrate to get from 50% to 94%. I just assumed the reader would be able to make the mental leap
