I agree with number 1.

I don't think number 2 is necessarily true. Lifestyle and diet are much bigger influences. My grandparents lived in a town with coal as a heat source and for the trains moving through town. That's a lot more pollution than cars today. This is also the generation that walked places (for miles) and worked hard because they had nothing. They were a healthy weight and ate fairly healthy diets. They lived into their nineties and never went into a care facility.

I don't see how number 2 and 3 could be true together. One of the major theories on the increasing cancer rates is that people are living longer and this increases the chances of having cancer at some point. My grandfather had cancer, but didnt get it until he was 91 - then he beat it. The other theories tend to focus on environmental toxins not from car exhaust. Usually it's based on household chemicals and indoor air quality from items in the home.
tldr (from 5,277 words): Users are far more concerned with protection against
harms closed-source software may inflict, but access to that source code is a
terrible way of preventing those harms. Thus free software advocates are
barking up the wrong tree when they condemn closed-source as acts of political tyranny.

Do remember that damage to the road from tires scales exponentially with weight (per tire). So those trucks are doing huge damage to the roads (and not paying for it directly). Here's an article with a nice graph about it:

> The last version of perl4 was in '93 when perl5 started work. Perl 5.000 was released October 17, 1994. 5.004 was in '99... and then the long dark time began as efforts for perl6. Four years later we got perl 5.6... and another five years for perl 5.8. Still no perl6.

Some of your dates are off a bit. 5.004 was in 1997, 5.6 in 2000, 5.8 in 2002, it was only 5.10 that took 5 years after that.

While the literature does seem to support the theory that SAT is a good measure of intelligence, I still find myself jumping to the defense of candidates who may have scored poorly on the SAT. I feel it’s unfair to judge someone’s qualifications for a specific job NOW, based on the score they received on a basic general knowledge test in high school. I don’t like this idea either, but why wouldn’t college gpa be an even better measure? It’s more recent, relevant to the job they’re applying for (in most cases), and achieved independently of parental control (in most cases).
> Yes I want a Linux phone. But I also want one that has similar app support to Android and iOS.

Replicant? https://replicant.us/

LineageOS? https://lineageos.org/
Reminds me of my talk in 2013 at The Guardian's Activate here in Singapore. Many cities around the world especially in Europe and Asia do not require cars for most of one's daily routine. The American model where living, working, and shopping spaces are distinctly separated into Suburban, Industry/Tech parks, and Malls are fortunately not the norm here.
I'm sure the book discusses this at length, but some people have drawn conceptual distinctions between liberty and freedom:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freedom#Personal_and_social

This is complicated because not everyone makes this distinction consistently, and many languages use the same term for both concepts most of the time.

Apparently the Ben Franklin line about "essential liberty" is also originally kind of collectivist in meaning:

https://www.npr.org/2015/03/02/390245038/ben-franklins-famou...

Subtle concepts!
You're probably right but— why buy a Linux phone then? There's LineageOS and F-Droid, or even Replicant if you're all-in on free software and don't mind running on a Galaxy 8.

I'm maybe not the guy to ask, I have curiousity and professional interest in open source phone stuff but I've had an iPhone since the 4, and plan to spend a total of less than 5 hours a year debugging my phone for the foreseeable future.

I'm not sure that pruning apps off my homescreen or rebooting a few times a year to solve some heisenbug really counts as debugging, but it's already closer than I care to be.
> They want the ability to make modifications, and they want the freedom and transparency that open-source gives them

Do they really? iOS isn’t just not open source because we don’t have the source.

It’s also not open source because it isn’t developed in the open or intended for a community to work with.

It seems like the thing you are saying people want just isn’t real.

This isn’t to say you are wrong - but if you are right, it just means the people who are buying these phones don’t just don’t understand open source.
I definitely agree that I don't want a "Linux phone". I just want an open-as-possible phone that isn't 100% user-privacy-hostile.

I couldn't give two flips if it is the Linux kernel that accomplishes that, but I think it's pretty obvious that Linux is our only reasonable hope.
Why not add something to protect the web security?

I don't see why you are so defensive, it's a well-spirited comment IMHO intended to emphasise the problems with a way of thinking that I do not agree with but my apologies if you feel bad.

As the "densely populated area" remark should give it away, I do not claim that USA should build metro lines between cities. What I say that cars in cities are not the solution.

Funny enough, I am in Istanbul since a while. I flew from London to Istanbul, it took me about 8,5 hours I guess. 30 minutes to Heathrow, 2 hours at Heathrow, 5 hours in the plane(did not take off immediately) ,1 hour at Istanbul Airport, 1 hour on a bus to my destination. Definitely better than the train but only because there's no direct line. The trains in Europe are great but expensive. If there was an overnight train to Istanbul from King's Cross at reasonable price I would have taken it.

The mass transit in Istanbul is horrendous but wherever available, the metro is much much better than the Istanbul traffic. Admittedly, the car could be better if you are in an S class Mercedes and being chauffeured.
A local radio station has "Liberty the Eagle" as its mascot. Not long ago it was updated to "Liberty, the Eagle with the voice of a red tail."
Haven't seen it mentioned here and it's not specifically mentioned in their docs where they explain about secret scanning: github also does secret scanning on all public gists. Seeing as how every gist is just a repository under the hood it makes sense.

I've seen devs share a snippet of code with an AWS Access Key Id/Secret in it using gists and we immediately got a notice from Amazon about that key being compromised.
Hello rustyboy, first thanks for your feedback.

I think that there is a mistake in the name of the interface type.
It should not be `Cart` but something else. Like `CartStorage`.

A type that implement this CartStorage interface can be named `MySQLCartStorage` or `DynamoDBCartStorage`. Each database engine responsible for the storage will have a different implementation.

The interface is here to define a contract, a set of behaviors that you should implement.

I will definitely change that
The article seems to claim that all the complaints are about features.. wouldn't that mean that what is done is reliable?

>I’m not part of Mensa and have no chance neither will to join, but this attitude “do some genius work then we’ll talk” really annoys me

It's not "do some genius work then we’ll talk" though.

It's more "Until you do some genius work don't brag to me about how smart you are in IQ points".

>It’s unlikely that I will do, but if I did, we wouldn’t talk, cause who cares.

It's actually the opposite: people do care about genius work others do, as it can be touching (e.g. in art), evolutionary (e.g. in science), impactful (in tech, etc).

Whereas people don't care for others' IQ scores or MENSA membership.

>Unsocial may do that for themselves, out of curiosity, for an idea, to fight with reality, because they can. But not to impress some guy out there.

Well, that's another thing, and we can respect that.

But MENSA members ofter are more annoying braggards than even vegans...

I bought one because I was hoping to tinker with things, and also I wanted to be able to do things that iOS won't allow. (like have a filesystem)

I had imagined that because KDE was so solid on my desktop that it would be really solid on the phone, but I think the phone is not just fast enough.

I was really happy with my feature phone, but had to give it up because I kept pocket dialing the emergency services. I wish I could find a shell that was as simple.

I would love a shell that was as fast and responsive and had the features of my Nokia 3310. I love these phones https://www.nokia.com/phones/en_in/feature-phones

The only thing they are missing in my opinion is a browser.
The Linux philosophy is important to me in a desktop, but I don't think I'd really care about it on a phone. If it were eventually to be both, then I would, but I never really believed in that goal. If I'm going to use a computer in desktop mode, I'd rather just have a proper desktop, with hardware that is unrestrained by the smaller form factor.
TSMC knows Intel is a fab competitor, and everyone involved in the relationship will be thinking first about how to protect TSMC interests and trade secrets, and secondly servicing Intel.
Just collect data on the rate of infections of the members of the households of those in the study. Run an IV regression on the results. Since a significant fraction of transmission comes from those sharing a household, protection against asymptomatic transmission will show up in lower household infection rate among the vaccinated group.
These are all wonderful questions, and my only answer to them is that grace, patience, bearing with one another, and the courage & honesty to confront what doesn't feel right have all been made high virtues throughout time for a reason! :)

It's through these that we may move away from disproportionate responses to what feels uncomfortable and find common understanding with each other, but alas, never perfectly.
Yea, I do. I spend time and money trying these things.

And I dont want apps or anything! Phone, SMS and Browser would be fine. (Maybe address book?)

Like, Xfce with those three apps on my com-set would be "done" and shippable to the eager market. Get the the core-com-set features working and let a marketplace/app-store mature around it. Don't try to 1=1 to iOS for mass market. It's not Lean.

> Do I have to read x86/arm spec + pcie spec + acpi spec + usb spec?

Pretty much, yeah. There's a reason not everyone is sitting around writing hardware drivers.

The alternative is reading through Linux kernel code. However it typically requires you digging through many layers of abstractions to get a fuller picture.

Generally, x86 is generally more mature, and the specs tend to be fairly large. ARM documentation should be a little simpler to dig into.
When it comes to mobile devices, UX is more important than ever. Any time I see a "Linux phone" I just see a complete disaster of Linux quality UI and usability.

What I want is a 100% iOS or Android phone, with a USB port that I can plug into a keyboard/mouse/monitor dongle on my desk, and get a desktop Linux environment that shares my same media.

No clever apps that work in both. No clever Linux UI nonsense. A Phone that's 100% android or iOS in my hand, and 100% Linux or MacOS when plugged in to my workstation.

I shouldn't have any clue that it's a Linux phone when I'm walking around with it.
Your counter points don’t check out too much though?

> jQuery

Just not possible to compose, which makes full applications difficult. No answers for state management or such either, completely a different scope than frameworks

> Google more clout than FB

In some domains sure, but I’ve never understood how people don’t think FB are masters of UI. There is probably no org with more UI clout than FB, they built their own insanely adopted library after all while Google can barely force their own engineers to use Angular

React is also unquestionably the most JavaScript of the libraries, a component’s markup is such a thin abstraction around an object and maps perfectly to DOM trees and concepts, classes or functions or hooks are all using native JS concepts, explicitly typed typescript and react genuinely eliminates the need for all simple testing plus makes for a streamlined developer experience, and its concepts of lifecycles and composability introduce complexity but in my opinion in a clearly delineated and extremely powerful way

Also, as always I have to note this, the churn argument is completely overblown wrt React, each way of writing code still works or compiles, conceptually the lifecycle and state management never changed just its syntax, and npm has old versions for a reason. I run 2016 code in production today as an internal application for engineers, and I’ve seamlessly updated webpack and module versions while keeping the same code syntax.

Open source phone with polish? So, Android?
I agree - it's bad that the post is dead. This feels like exactly the sort of topic that should be generating discussion on HN.

Samplerate is an independent dimension of bitrate - although not really because lower bitrates can store fewer samples.

It's equivalent to the resolution of an image.
Yep, thanks for catching that, edited to correct it.
> The FSF is not the Stallman Foundation (the way that there's a Gates Foundation or a Chan-Zuckerberg Initiative or whatever), whose goal would be to support Stallman in his works and in making the changes he wants to see in the world.

I once heard the folks at Penny Arcade say that they specifically made Child's Play an independent organization so that even if they happen to do something stupid that ruins their own reputation(s), that the charity could continue on doing good regardless.
> Are you using the non-American and leftist American definition of “liberal” (center-to-center-right capitalist) or the American center-right-to-right definition of “liberal” (anything left of the center-right) when you say “very liberal”?

Not sure if it matters, since in both cases it's applicable:

1. From a true liberal (moderate capitalist) standpoint, RMS has every right to his views, and the FSF has every right to associate with RMS. If Mozilla doesn't like it, they can pound sand.

2. From a leftist perspective, RMS is pretty unambiguously leftist and libertarian (as is the FSF), whereas Mozilla is a for-profit corporation. Siding with Mozilla against RMS and the FSF is pretty hard to reconcile with being a leftist; yeah, there's plenty of room for nuanced opinion (no matter what extremists want to believe), but considering the interested parties it's pretty easy to interpret this whole controversy as a bunch of capitalists and their sympathizers making McCarthy proud in their demonization of socialists.

Yes no problem on my side
Intel spends $13.5B a year on R&D. AMD spends $2B. TSMC spends about $3B.

Spending more cash isn't the problem. I know it's easy to blame the bean counters for everything, but in the chip-making business, today's problems are created 5 years ago, and if Bob did a good job, we'll see it years after his departure.
i just periodically switch to decaf for a few days (usually gradually). but these days, making 60%-caff coffees instead of full strength allows me to still drink 2-3 cups a day without getting too much caffeine while also not trading off too much of the taste (decaf tends to taste “dry”, or more astringent).
Indeed, as I wrote elsewhere. (I can't directly respond to your other comment, with which I also agree).

But there are two relevant questions: first, does this constitute orthotopic neurogenesis in any meaningful way? The progenitors are specified as interneurons in both the olfactory bulb or the dentate gyrus, certainly in the absence of any factors that encourage transition to a dopaminergic phenotype. Second, is there enough neurogenesis in the adult human brain for any purpose? Probably the most careful scientist in this space is Arturo Alvarez-Buylla, and his two Nature papers on postnatal neurogenesis in humans [0, 1] paint a fairly bleak picture.

I sure as hell won't install a browser extension if its source code isn't publicly available; I don't see how the government should or even could protect us from every update made to all of the software packages I import (even if the punishment for malware is severe); and large corporations may be able to get their hands on source code, but I don't trust them either. The FSF may be stuck in the '80s in some ways, but their fundamental principles are solid. I much prefer their vision to one that has users "freed" from source code, trusting large and opaque companies and government agencies, whose interests may not align with mine, to shield me from malicious actors, of which there are many. Honestly, if anyone is stuck in the past and not relevant anymore, it's not the FSF; it's people who downplay malicious actors, fail to recognize that software is often tiny, or updated frequently, or written by someone anonymous or outside of US jurisdiction whose behavior we can't punish with US law. A lot of software is made up of forks too, and not many software forks end up useless like in his anecdote about his company forking Windows... Yeah, this dude obviously hasn't been keeping up to speed since his retirement.

> If a company is looking for an open source work in the candidate CV it means they want to know if that person is keen on providing work for free. It means that the candidate shouldn't have problems staying over time without pay because it is his or hers passion.

I think this would honestly be a bad assumption to make. The people I've worked with that did the most amount of work on their own time have typically not done any OSS work.. because they were working on work stuff all the time. Those that dabbled in (non work related) OSS stuff often were able to do so because they had clearer boundaries between work/personal work.

Employees might get a benefit by not having to commute, but that isn't a cost the company has to pay. Just because people may find a pay cut worth it, doesn't justify companies cutting wages without a need just because they can, in my opinion.
I don;t think fortnight is open source, but it's been a while since I ran it - and I wonder if parts of it are using open source models and such.

I commented on the parent comment because I read it as sarcasm / inferring that a free game without free at is not free - and that something like that could never be modern or successful.. so I was trying to offer a counter point to consider which is similar - although certainly not exact apples to apples.
Hey there! What would be required to host my own version of this style of call access? adapter-latest.js and caller.js from the HTML source? Is there any more information to do something similar?
Super solid. We have a workflow that allows devs or designers with under 3 yrs of experience to develop sites that usually require pros with > 5 yrs. That means lower overhead of us and stronger profit.

I'm in the process of doing something like this internally, at a smaller scale, and it's interesting to see that many of the concepts I've been experimenting with and playing around with are formalized here in a similar manner. My "solution" doesn't build on Spark, as I just don't have enough data to necessitate it. I think the big difference is really the project's SQL first approach, which is probably going to polarize: personally, it's a decision I can't abide by, but I'm sure a lot of people will love that.
