I would love a Linux phone, to develop my own interfaces away from iOS and Android. I think the challenge is really the native stack for the development for me. For example, just last week I was trying to mess with the Framebuffer on the remarkable tablet, but I know way too less. For new developers (e.g young 20s) we grew on JavaScript, Python and heavily abstracted UI frameworks. I think sometimes the problems are too abstract and ambiguous in this area and make it a little daunting for newcomers since it seems so low-level. As young and new developer, I have time to hack around, but it doesn’t seem like one of those getting started tutorials I can do by myself.
Sounds like you want a linux distro that copies iphones UI as much as possible without getting sued
I like working from home because I don't have to pretend I'm working all day. Like most of my work is thinking I can do that anywhere so working from home means I can have a little walk, sit on the balcony and not have anal retentive managers looking over my shoulder demanding I look busy. Likewise when I'm waiting for work/someone to decide I can turn on Netflix and relax, most of my work I can do in 2 or 3 hours a day, its seldom I have enough to be fully engaged for a day.

Work from home is attractive because the alternative is so awful, I watch old movies from the 50's and everyone had an office sat back with their feet on the desk while thinking, also long commutes weren't a huge thing - everyone caught the bus, long lunches were a thing, granted hours were long then but things haven't improved. The modern workplace is a toxic environment, working from home is a little better but really its pretty awful to - no socialising, no energy etc.
> ... and microservices is one example of how to do it.

The fundamental problem is where the data resides. Microservices are well understood today, but taking them to the edge isn't; there isn't a path to do that for typical apps. So most microservices which are being used at the edge are doing caching/transcoding/resizing etc.

> Latency is key for some important applications like self-driving cars and industrial automation

They keep compute on-vehicle or on-prem. For data services (not media delivery), latency is:

a) either supremely important to be fully local (vehicles, automation)

b) or it doesn't matter enough to be on a 3rd party edge network. The diminishing returns in typical apps is what the article is alluding to.

> not really to make some queries in GraphQL

You're misrepresenting what I said - and it seems deliberate.

I mentioned GraphQL as one of the attempts to solve latency issues in typical apps.

For example, some apps use graphql/dataloader[1] because it can "coalesce all individual loads which occur within a single frame of execution before calling your batch function with all requested keys. This ensures no additional latency while capturing many related requests into a single batch."

So in typical apps, there isn't a big benefit to putting general compute on the edge - because the network calls are chunky and not chatty, and their data is centralized. GraphQL (along with libs/frameworks) being one way to turn chatty into chunky.

I support RMS and have been an FSF member for north of a decade.

A substantial disagreement I have with him over the GPL is whether we can call propeietary licenses "immoral".

Taking the libertarian view, I would offer that two people sharing a proprietary licensing agreement is as much my business as them consensually sharing bodily fluids.

The FSF tends toward intolerance as it gazes out from its "monastic" abode.

These sudden "woke" attacks on RMS are not part of a broader anti-freedom assault, are they? Sure would be a shame if there was a pattern of silencing in play.

RMS may be an abrasive, challenging personality, but all of those cheering for his ouster had better hope not to wind up in a Martin Niemöller[1] situation.

> I took the family to Europe in 2019, in terms of smokers and smoking it was like going back in time compared to the US.

Last time we went back to France, we took the kid to the playground and adults were smoking a few meters away from the slides. After double-checking that there was indeed a sign indicating that smoking was forbidden, I told them to step and they did, but apparently nobody else cared.

I haven't see that happen yet in the SF Bay. Obviously though, we get wildfire smoke for several months, and right after that people start burning wood in their open fireplaces for winter, so it's not all rosy either.
As long as they're as good as the current crop of Android and Apple phones I think it would be great.
This leaves me very dismayed, why is simply "a lot of people think it" enough to convince you something is true/right? I can think of a good many scenarios where that couldn't ever be non-destructive. This is what critical thinking is for!

HN heavily penalizes stories where the comment threads have large amounts of conflict and upvote/downvote wars. The automated lowering of the article rank has nothing to do with HN caring about the subject matter of the article and everything to do with HN's software penalizing the combative nature of the discussion about the article. HN does this because it helps maintain the high level of discussion seen elsewhere on the site.
True, but looking up abbreviations like these seems often to lead first to the Latin expansion, and figuring out what that means in English provides the necessary grammatical clue. Also, I'm enough of a linguistics nerd to like the way abbreviations like these work for their own sake, so I thought I'd share in case anyone else might be interested too.
I want a phone I can own, like my sofa. It is out there in my living room just waiting for me to do whatever I want to do with it.

My Android phone doesn't work that way. The company behind it expects me to do certain tasks with the phone. Some tasks are open for gradual adoption, other aren't, meaning they are mandated. After all those years, I'm beginning to dislike that.

> Discoverability is a function of colocation, not of immutability

That's one way to do it, tying discoverability to coding convention (which is usually how collocation is enforced), as opposed to being an inherent property of the code.
Yes, of course. When the red swiggle first began to manifest, I remember noticing quite a few words that I had been spelling in a specific way, often informed more or less by orthography and etymology, but still incorrectly. For those who struggled with a lot of words, their misspellings could be nearly as distinctive as their handwriting.

I think "paradice" is likely an intentional mistake on the Zodiac's part, though. His apparent level of education doesn't fit with him being unfamiliar with that word.

> The price of food is a function of demand and supply. If there is a famine, price of food goes up. This is a good thing because it ensures that food is used by the most productive and profitable citizens, right?

Increasing food prices cause more food to be grown and food to be shipped over longer distances, lessening the impact of a famine. It also causes people to spend less on luxury foods that cost more per calorie.

> We have more empty houses than homeless people. Efficient market my ass.

Have you bought an unused home and given it to someone homeless lately? There are many that are quite inexpensive out there.

On the whole, I agree that our current housing and property market is not as efficient as it could be. One reason for this are our building codes; they raise the cost of housing making truly inexpensive homes illegal. There is definitely a lot of benefits to living in a properly–built house, but that is always going to be more expensive than a shack you built yourself on land you claimed from the wilderness at the edge of a growing population. When governments eliminate that possibility, they cause people to go homeless. I suspect that you will want to “fix” this by having the government step in and buy a house for everyone who wants one.

I don't think this is an insurmountable problem, but it definitely is a problem. I got a (3GB) pinephone late last year with plans to hack on it and write some nice user facing applications as well as exploring ways to help make sure that a phone can help users preserve their privacy.

What's quickly become clear to me is that all of that stuff is futile until we have a better way to build and run applications. The existing shells and toolkits for building applications are simply too heavy for the hardware, and I don't see the situation changing much any time soon. The hardware ought to be powerful enough to do more than it can, but it's going to take a lot more effort to build more efficient underlying components.

Unfortunately, as an individual developer with several other large side projects going on at the moment I don't expect to be able to contribute much to this anytime soon, but I hope that the discussion will prompt some people with the spare cycles to pick this up and run with it.

I think it is a bit unfair to ask for a specific implementation detail on policy which the general population overwhelmingly supports. You can always arbitrarily make a policy look less popular by taking only the subset of the general population that supports a specific implementation.

An example: Say 90% of the people of Madeupistan supports some sort of increased autonomy from the Roman empire (which just became a democracy after 2000 years of imperial rule). But a disingenuous pollster wants to make it look like the support isn’t that great. So instead they will point to the fact that only about 40% of the population supports independence. This is ignoring the fact that 30% of the population want something similar to home rule, and 20% want to be in a federation with neighboring states.
Yeah, the entire population of UT is about half the population of the Philadelphia metro, and only about twice the population of the Pittsburgh metro, and that's not counting all the Penntucky between.

> Still people complain about how they don't like that there's an extra file they don't want (the dng) or photo upload is missing. ITS A SCRIPT, CHANGE IT. Do you really want a Linux phone?

Browsing and editing files on PinePhone is substantially more cumbersome than doing so on a PC, unless you have SSH (takes time to setup, requires a separate computer, has issues finding the IP address, maybe laggy) or an external keyboard (tiny screen, USB dongle, can't easily charge at the same time).
> Grammatically, it is the same. Grammatical gender does not refer to biological sex, but rather a categorization system of nouns and their associated inflection patterns.

Yep, a chair is male in Slovenian, but tree is neuter. Cats are feminine, dogs are male.

Studying German and French I quickly learned that their categories are different. You have to memorize the gender together with noun. Often you can guess correctly based on the suffix.

I'm fascinated by this. It seems that for any developer with less than five years of industry experience there's a reasonable chance that they've almost exclusively worked in an SPA, JavaScript-for-everything environment.

Given that the phrase doesn't appear anywhere in Frank Herbert's novels (the horrible dumpster fires by his son may have it, but I couldn't say), it's certainly a Lynch reference.

But my question wasn't what "spice" means, I assumed everyone on Hacker News knows that.

I was asking why Saudi spice is particularly relevant to US interests, when we're a net exporter of said spice.

It was admittedly a bit tongue in cheek; dramatically reduced Saudi supplies would impact energy markets in a bunch of second and third order ways we might not like.

For civilian applications, EMC standards and tests primarily ensure the RF leakage is not severe enough to create harmful interference to other devices or users of the RF spectrum, and that your device is robust enough to handle reasonable interference from others. But, it's not designed to eliminate information leakage and protect you from enemy actions. There are specialized (often military) EMC standards that are designed to do this, most famously, TEMPEST by the U.S. government. But you're unlikely to see it in any consumer electronics. Heavy shielding is required.
