So it's a simple mmap database like early versions of MongoDB? I like using atomic commands, but I imagine it would become tedious fast to do the extra work of doing the accounting of the transaction manually every time you want to do a non atomic transaction.
It's a tradeoff.

Tech to avoid most road accidents is there, proven and operational for over a hundred years: trams, trains, metro's, buses* etc.

We often make the tradeoff to risk our lives, because of the (percieved and real) downsides of choosing the safer option.

This is not meant as a praise for PT, but to put down another datapoint on why people deliberately choose the more risky option. Both in (political) investment and on a daily base.

*while certainly no to 100% safe, public transport, and slower transport like bikes and walking, is almost always safer than private vehicles, and where not (e.g. buses), many accidents happen because of the shared space with those private vehicles.
LG has arguably the best design in the Android pact, it's elegant and slick, while Samsung looks like things cobbled together to the sole purpose of avoiding patent wars with Apple, and Huawei is just Frankenstein.
America is probably comparable in violent crimes to more racially/religiously/culturally diverse countries in Europe. Like France, or UK. I'm just guessing though.
Just pay a mobile repair shop to do it. Not very expensive and much cheaper than buying a new phone.
I always though similarly about 9gag. Its the foundation of the real global culture. The real common denominator.
I mean honestly looking at the Linux or alternative phone offerings, I'd love to jump on it, but the cameras are ages behind. And my phone has become my main camera.
I do something similar with espanso on Linux, but I chose / instead of :, and my commands are mostly Latex commands. On Windows I do it with AutoHotKey. I have superscript and subscript numbers too.

The virtue of voters knowing what they’re paying is that this awareness can inform policy. And indeed it has. They want to “tax the rich.” That’s how we arrive at this question. I agree that it’s not without side effects - the rich are capital, taxing away capital means less good cheap stuff to buy. But we can also quite reasonably decide that there is more than enough good cheap stuff to buy, and not nearly enough healthcare. Or education, or housing, or whatever else. And that we need to tap the wealth associated with providing iPhones and cheeseburgers and handbags, in order to afford those things.
The article is surprisingly scare mongering and empty of actual details and full of generic snow landscape photos.

Anyone can fill in what a glacier "tipping point" is and what is the historic data around this particular glacier?

It was certainly a more creative time, at a time of expensive computers and restricted resources

It was a time of evolutionary explosion. And while I don't miss a lot of the aspects of it, it is certainly nostalgic in a lot of ways

(though I'm not the type to play with 80s hardware - emulators are more practical)

Oh and about the "none of it was free" well ;)
I had an LG G3 and it heated up so much that the shell separated from the screen/body. It was literally painful to hold your hand in the middle of the screen with heavy apps open (like Snapchat at the time...)

I sent it for warranty repair three times, and every time they "repaired" it instead of giving me a new one, and it would happen again. The fourth time it happened I just gave up.
Going back even further, landline phones had a mechanical design that worked the same way, where you put down the phone part you held into the phone-part that was connected to the line ("screen down" into it) and the call would hang up.
Not really, it means fewer new ideas if all other factors are the same. Of course, education, creativity and means to extract this ideas count as well.
not really sure the certainty of the click-bait headline 'tipping point confirmed' actually is backed up by the content of the article...whole lot of 'might','could' and 'has the potential too'

>>"Should the glacier enter unstable irreversible retreat, the impact on sea level could be measured in metres, and as this study shows, once the retreat starts it might be impossible to halt it."
The west produces more than enough food for itself and then some. Obviously food is a renewable so you will never run out of it. Wood? Renewable and has been sustainably farmed in the west for over 100 years. Then there are materials like Aluminum and Iron that there are massive stores of in earth's crust that could never be depleted.

There are only certain things like oil that are not renewable but even the plastics and petroleum based products have plant based alternative versions, they are simply more expensive to produce at this time.

I worry about conservation of natural habitats. But that is a bigger problem in developing countries than currently in the West.
On my S10, there is a seperate Bixby button on the left side, so it's not shared with the unlock button. The best thing about the Bixby button is that I can freely remap it with third party applications, meaning I have a dedicated, customizable, physical button, something all phones should have.
And they would continue to do so if the phone had a larger battery and you would end up with an absolute brick.

If you want more battery and don't care about bulk, get a battery case.

They are still abysmal to work with. I'm working on a webOS TV app and some of the updates require their certification, and their QA team is unbelievable...
I thought Face ID used some sort of radar/infrared technology and thus didn't really need light to work? Happy to be corrected on this.
in the EU, you have to notify your users about their data being compromised, otherwise you risk being sued for a LOT. Not facebook-hurting amounts, but not nothing.
we are short on knowledge not ideas. We aren't short of resources. More people make us more wealthy which gives us better chance of creating more knowledge.

> Unreal is now used a lot in specialized domains like film-making (globe fly-bys in the news and documentaries?)

It goes further than that now. For The Mandalorian, they famously set up a "20-foot high, 270-degree semicircular LED video wall"[0] to use as a backdrop for the shots, and that wall was rendering the desired environment using Unreal Engine. No need to chroma key an alien planet in post, when you can make it a part of the scene (and now the actors can see it too as they play!). More at [1].

How to Update Your Cache

This does not contradict what I wrote.
I seldom write CSS. I tried tailwindcss on one of my recent projects that required to closely follow a custom design (a portfolio for a graphic designer friend). I like it, with some caveats.

Main benefit for me is that I don't need to remember how to write css. 95% of what I need is a shortcut away from tailwind docs. The result is "prettier" than any other website-from-scratch I've done (that's purely on me, not much css practice). Now that I've memorised most common tailwind classes, I'm also moving faster than ever.

Main downside is that it's annoying having to modify tailwind's config file to add non-default variations (mostly different heights/widths than what it ships with).

Maybe something like Girouette[0] would be better.

Nicely done, although the subscribe overlay pitch kind of ruined it.

I did feel like as a piece (the website not the painting) it lacked context - why am i looking at this and to what end? Is this a short thing i can scroll through or is this something i shouldn't look at unless i can dedicate half an hour? Sort of like being dropped into the middle of a museum without knowing what the topic of the exhibit is.

I find people enjoy the novelty of taking photos underwater or when in the pool/lake/sea. I often have to point out that their phones are also waterproof and they run off to grab it for underwater (or just around the water) photography.
I often use zile, a modern mini-Emacs for quick editing jobs because it starts up instantly (yes, I know you can achieve similar start up times using the client/server feature of Emacs, but that always seems more work than it's worth).
Thank you for the feedback. I will do it but I have to learn how to do it :) I started practicing with Tailwind CSS; these challenges helps me to improve myself.

Appreciate for your time, it means a lot to me
Great comment.

It might be a good summary to say that Greenwald is intensely liberal in his stance on civil rights, so much so that he doesn't fit on the American liberal-conservative spectrum on this issue. He's willing to compromise with both liberals and conservatives to help get his message out. His overall stance is not left wing, because most of his other views (at least the stuff he emphasizes) are more (American) libertarian or liberal/conservative, not genuinely left wing.
For beyond the population peak, these guys forecast too far ahead for their predictions to be realistic (there will be unknown confounding factors along the way).

The "too few ideas" claim is also weird. For you to contribute some ideas to the global economy, at the very least you need some access to capital, that currently most of the world doesn't have. Having good education and some freedom from spending all time and all your energy just to survive on subsistence level also helps. In production of ideas, lifting people everywhere to the Western middle class standard of living and mindset is far more important than raw population count. This would probably require bringing industrial labor wages to a more realistic level everywhere, also in poorer countries.

The whole system of relying on cheap labor in developing countries would have to change somewhat with decelerating population. The stuff in the West would be more expensive, although maybe with fewer workers wages couldn't be so stagnant. The model of buying materials and labor cheap somewhere and selling stuff highish to Western population would be harder to sustain, making many businesses less viable. Maybe this is especially scary for people that are heavily into capital.

This is my personal take and it's somewhat related to the post-Black Death phenomena in Europe that the article mentions. There's also "The Great Demographic Reversal" book where the authors apparently also predict rising inflation and take into account aging of the population (I've only watched an interview with one of the authors).

Interesting side effect: It’s been really difficult to find a decent joystick since just before the game was released. Now it looks like they are returning to shelves but still in short supply. Not sure if it’s a coincidence but it meant I haven’t had a chance to try it yet.
Indeed, I have one. And yet (apart from a few days when I first got it) I've not used it. Although that is largely due to the awful IR apps I've tried--perhaps there is scope for improvements in this area.

I love planes but am not a pilot or trying to be a pilot. I think MSFS is enough of a simulator to satisfy me. It has enough technical sophistication to be interesting and teach me things. But I dont need to learn to fly with it. And the scenarios I play are completely contrived anyway.

Smith does not address the point, made by Hickle and reiterated by the topmost comment, about taking into account subsistence farming and how that affects how we should be looking at the metric of income per day altogether. Hickle seems to believe that the lower bounds of this number are skewed by these broader concerns. Hence the topmost comment's sentiment, which I share, that they're talking past each other.

Many people who hoard chargers still hang on to old chargers that only do the 5W standard. For modern devices fast charging is very useful especially for high battery capacity devices. I've recycled all chargers that don't support any of the fast charging standards.
And also, where both private and public broadcasters in most European countries certainly would like to sell their series abroad, they need to find a buyer. Netflix "just" needs to ensure their contracts allows them to target all their markets and provide translations, and see if it sticks. The threshold for Netflix to make e.g. a Norwegian series available across Europe and subtitle or dub it in a handful of languages is far lower than for a Norwegian production company to find buyers willing to both translate it and pay a fee to license it in each of the same countries.

So when Netflix are forced to produce some series in these countries anyway, they have a very strong incentive to recycle their investment in as many countries as possible if it's even somewhat plausible that it'll do ok.
I prefer watching foreign shows in their native language, not dubbed in English. English subtitles are fine.

But yeah, the world is homogenizing, and there's no way to stop it. Germany, England, etc., become more like the US every time I visit.

Both my wife's iPhone and my Android phone frequently have their compasses incorrect when woken.

I remember early Android phones showing a short animation when opening Google Maps, showing one how to move the wrist in a figure-eight motion to orient the compass.

I don't think there was a setting. I think they just got rid of the animation showing you how to fix the compass.
You should teach your children, and those in your extended family, how to, and to, avoid ads.

I think it is related to the lottery ticket idea. Essentially, you try to find the lowest d such that you can find a 'winning ticket' network of size d.
My phone is from May 2019, so just under 2 years and I am still seeing basically the same battery performance from when it was new - something I didn't get with my earlier devices that had a removable battery.

Besides, getting a battery replacement for an iPhone costs sub 80 bucks, which is probably about the same as we would have had to pay for batteries for the older models - and they were more likely to break because you can't get waterproof phones with replaceable batteries.

"For instance, please don’t adopt the slogan “A Design Firm Unlike Any Other” and then set it in Helvetica."

I feel vindicated. Helvetica might have been cool when it was invented in the 50s, but nowadays it's the most overused and overrated font around. I dislike it with a passion.
I've done it before. The process can be extremely long (months). It's longer the higher your salary expectations. At lower paying jobs, a single interview with the CTO/team managers and you land the job.

At higher paying ones, you might have to do a HR filtering interview, code test, hour long chat with an engineer, a higher level manager, a whiteboard, another code test, and then present it to a panel which consists of four engineers... and possibly get rejected somewhere along this route. Some of the people in this process are not always there and they may not put hiring at first priority, so this can drag out very long.

If you have a "runway", you'll be under pressure to perform, which ironically might make you screw up somewhere along the process as I have before. It's so much easier just to settle for the lower paying job.

And as someone who has been on the hiring side, I've seen people who we wanted to hire, but failed because of this pressure. Two people who were going through extended interviews just refused to do an hour long coding challenge properly (they lazily copied something from SO which didn't answer the question). One interviewee snapped at the interviewer during the test. The process was also quite long because we didn't really need another person, so it took about 2-3 months to get back to the second guy we interviewed, who wasn't that qualified but better than the others.

However, if you're facing intense stress and burnout, the lower paying job might be a step forward.
The same thing happened early in lockdown with steering wheels when iRacing got very popular due to some real races turning into virtual races on television. I think they upped their subscribers by 5x or something crazy like that.
>>“I can't go out and buy a Tizen or Windows phone in large part because of Google's pathological Android licensing. Google force carriers to choose between their, supposedly open, ecosystem and shipping alternative OSes.”

I don’t understand how such a licence can be legal. Surely it is monopolistic practices? Yes, Apple exists at a consumer level, but at the level of phone manufacturers google has a monopoly on licensing mobile OS to manufacturers. This is abuse of their dominance to prevent competition from android forks.
There is no reason you can‘t have a deterministic function which generates a hash for the user.

A simple sha256(lower(email)) is equally secure as a complete random salt, the only requirement on a salt is to be unique.
You still have a race condition, as long as your backend serves more than one request at the time.

If you nuke the cache _before_ performing the change, another request might make the changed item reappear in the cache before the change is completed.

If you nuke the cache _after_ performing the change, requests might sneak in between the change and the cache nuke and get stale data.
The article was written by someone who didn't even bother to read/watch Microsoft's promo material. Lookup tables are a thing of the past. Microsoft has published two videos showcasing their new aerodynamics simulation[1][2].

There seems to be a lot of pushback from old-timers who have sunken thousands of $$$ into X-Plane and its expansions (from terrain packages to cloud visuals), many of which now look inferior to what Microsoft's new simulator offers out of the box.

I don't know how the FSD upgrade is sold contractually, but if you buy something that doesn't work in the UK you'd go to court and ask for a refund. You'd have to take into account the value you've had from something you've used.

There's 1.3m Teslas sold - how many with a $10,000 FSD upgrade? That's got to be single-digit billions of revenue, but that's all I'd expect them to be liable for.

Somewhere there's a liability account paying out to individual owners who have asked for refunds. If it turned into a class action, I'm sure Tesla are ready to pay customers back and it will have been pretty cheap finance for them.

> framework recreates css rules with class names

Pretty much, but that concept by itself is underrated. By having all of the CSS inline on your components, the developer doesn't have to click on a class name and find the css file associated with producing that class.

Tailwind is also a design system, so some non-obvious rules like box-shadows, colors, font-sizes are pre-picked. That means instead of remembering what font-size to use for a figure caption, "was it 0.85rem or 0.75rem", you can just use `text-xs`. Design constraint is good here because you get a consistent look throughout your app. It's kind of like having global css variables: by modifying your tailwind.config.js, you can change all `text-xs` to a different font-size now.

And then when you want to break out of that design system, "I need something smaller than a caption, say text-2xs", you can extend tailwind by defining your own atomic class names.

> benefit of using it vs something like bootstrap

Haven't used bootstrap since my first basic website years ago, but it seems like a vanilla js component + css library. Tailwind is primarily a css library, so you can use it with React and Vue as well. The way you install Tailwind is different too: Bootstrap you put into the head of your document and no build step is required; however, with a build step, you can remove unused css to get the minimal working spreadsheet.
