Pretty much. They really don't want regular consumers to be buying the PinePhone from them. They've been very upfront about this: the phone isn't priced for, and they aren't equipped to provide end user technical support. It's priced to get it in the hands of people willing to take some pain and help with the work of getting Linux where it needs to be on mobile.

If the phone hardware arrives defective/broken, that's one thing. If the issue is the state of whatever Linux distro you're running (including missing features/applications), that's not their problem.

Mine is from the first batch of 'final' hardware (i.e. the UBPorts CE) for over 6 months and the hardware is solid. The distros (all of them) have come a long way but still have a very long way to go.
Well yes, but not only. I think there are examples where it applies to living organisms too. E.g. a few hundred years ago, a human who lived past the age of 5 would be more likely to grow to be 40, afaik.

I was mostly pointing this out because a lot of people in the comments seem to be talking about this as if it's some kind of universal law, or a proposed universal law, when really this applies to only exceptional circumstances.

And also only applies to the amount above the threshold.
"A Philosophy of Software Design" by John Ousterhout talks about the costs of introducing abstractions, with the implication that modules should be "narrow and deep".

The width is defined as the size of the interface (the cost) and the depth as the functionality that it buys you or maybe the complexity it hides (I'm recalling from memory, don't have the book at hand).

A file system that exposes the file interface (as in Unix) is given as a positive example. It has few functions and buys you, well, everything a file system offers.

> The price of US solar installations seems incredibly high.

This is the real story here, and it seems like people are blind to it. Compared to everywhere else in the world, solar prices in the US are ridiculously expensive.

I'm based in Europe, and in January obtained quotes for a 10kW roof mount system to be installed. The most expensive quote I received was for €9,500. That's for all equipment, installation, taxes, and guarantee - and before government incentives (30%). The actual equipment would be less than €5,000 if you were to DIY the install, so even with that the installer is making a healthy profit.

I frequent /r/solar, and the prices I see people say they are quoted are mind bogling. For the same thing they are receiving quotes of $50k or more. Now admittedly I live in a lower cost of living European country, but I've read prices in Germany are very similar - and that is where all the equipment installers here use comes from anyway.

Some of the reasons people give are because electrical equipment needs to be upgraded. Ok, that might cost a little more, but not $40,000. The quote I received was for a new build. It cost us under €1,000 to have the electricity company bring in the supply and install
a cabinet and meter on our plot (it was empty before). That included digging up the road, and connecting to overhead wires nearby.
Unfortunately, this article manages to get the single example execution entirely wrong.

> We begin by subtracting 7 from 7 (the locations of A and B), and will store the result (0) in location B.

Here the example gets confused as it shows the 0 result stored not in location B (address 4) but in the middle of the executing instruction (address 1).
This mistake is then repeated for the next instruction.

> Natural language agglutination tends to have all kinds of nasty side effects …

Oh, sure; morphophonological processes do tend to mess up everything. (This is why Valentine doesn’t give a morpheme-by-morpheme gloss of the example I included.) This is why I don’t claim that such a programming language will be _exactly_ like human agglutination — only that it will have a very different structure to our languages. The complexities of human languages will always need to be simplified and regularised in order to create a programming language.

> But look at your smalltalk example: does that look like English syntax? First, the word order is wrong, and second, "onTopOf" already is a concatenation.

I agree that Smalltalk syntax doesn’t look at all like English syntax, at least in terms of word order. (If anything, it looks a lot more like Burmese.) And it is true that early languages like RPG and SNOBOL — and I should include assembly here as well — have little to do with any human language. But that’s not the central component of my claim. What’s important here is that, for most if not all modern programming languages, you can construct a syntax tree, like this:

┌────────┴─────────┐
│ ┌─────┴────┐
┌──┴──┐ │ ┌──┴──┐
you lieDown; position: (table onTopOf)

This is a very English-like trait, in that English sentences also consist of isolated words organised in a syntax tree:

┌───┴───┐
│ ┌──┴───┐
┌──┴─┐ │ ┌──┴──┐
Lie down on the table

This structure is of course common crosslinguistically, but agglutinative and polysynthetic languages such as Cree are structured differently. In these languages, words are composed of a stem, surrounded by affixes expressing their relationships to other words. e.g. Koasati verbs (which are reasonably straightforward in this regard) have the following structure (Kimball 1985):

incorporated.noun - directional - instrumental - distributive - indirect.object - direct.object - specific.locative - general.locative - 1A.prefixes - STEM - adverb - diminutive - intention - ability - mood - deduction - modality - dubitative - hearsay - auditory - tense - consequence - sent.func = enclitics

Due to this extensive marking, word order is extremely free; in many languages with this amount of marking, words within a sentence may be arranged in pretty much any order. Though linguists can still draw out syntax trees for these languages, it is unclear to what extent such an abstraction is useful: the affixes within a word have a rigid and non-hierarchical order, while the words themselves have few constraints on ordering. This is a characteristic unlike all programming languages I am aware of, and is what I refer to when I say that programming languages today are more like English and French than they are like Cree and Koasati.
> “You don’t need an ORM, write your own SQL queries directly and create a beautiful domain driven design object model” leads straight into a project only the owner will understand

Could you please elaborate why will this end up happening?

I've been on projects that had ~50 active contributors. All of them used plain SQL queries and used a library (don't remember which) only to map columns to Java types. Everyone understood table structure they were working on and its relationship with other tables. If they introduced a new query they were expected to run 'explain plan' first to understand the consequences and change the query if needed. I won't deny that it all needed a bit of shepherding by the senior engineers but the overhead was negligible. As an upside every developer was always up to date with the schema and precisely knew the performance consequences.

The mess you state is perhaps a byproduct of "get-big-fast" code bases?

> As soon as anyone tells you "you don't need to learn X with our framework Y that sits on top of it", all that means is you have to learn X, Y and the X->Y and Y->X translations and all but the first is proprietary.

Exactly, except it's not just about language Y being proprietary. (I am using term "language" instead of "framework", because they are, in the broad sense, conceptual languages.)

It gives you a hint when the language Y is worth having in addition to language X - only if the language Y makes it significantly easier to model problem in your domain. Therefore, by definition, the language Y has to have some limitations that X doesn't. If Y is as a general language as X is (it can express same problems with similar effort), you end up doing busywork translating between X and Y.

And this problem plagues ORM frameworks of all sorts - it's not clear what is more easily expressed in the language of the ORM, which is not already expressed in the relational algebra (and SQL), and conversely, what are you giving up by using ORM. Although it happens in all sorts of DSLs.

This is interesting because it is much less subtle than stuxnet. One of the core features of stuxnet was that it broke centrifuges in a way that looked like (I think) manufacturering faults. That's why it went on so long and did so much damage: no one thought to look for it. It even faked logs I believe.

Companies too big to fail grow even bigger. This is not sustainable. At some point (sooner rather than later) we need a legislation that will be splitting companies going over a certain size.
Big companies don't pay the same high taxes as small companies and beside the size, this is another unfair competitive advantage that stifles development, keep wages low and does not pay enough money in taxes, so that people have to pick up the tab.
We get a situation that CEOs fly private jets and paying hardly any tax and workers getting peanuts in comparison plus having to pay like 40% of what they make and going to work in a beaten up Toyota.

I use it for prose text to help limit my typing, and I do spend a significant portion of the time frustratedly editing dumb mistakes that should obviously be something else from the context (wrong grammar or nonsensical combinations of words). Correcting and re-correcting and training and retraining words it keeps getting wrong is really frustrating. It may be that their NZ English model was built from a smaller corpus, so YMMV.

Is that really such a big thing? And even if it is, it's not like roof tile panels are impossible to know about. For starters, they're not actually completely invisible - you can usually still tell. But more importantly, there will still be construction that your neighbours will ask you about ("hey, whacha building, neighbour?" "oh, not much, I'm just replacing my roof with solar tiles. Y'know, for the environment!") and you can surely subtly brag about it. Word travels fast so everyone around would quickly know and I'd imagine rich people would be far more impressed by someone with a beautiful roof and high-tech solar tiles, than someone installing the same ugly panels everyone and their dog have had since the early 2000s - same level of environmental signaling, but far more impressive.
> Sometimes it works, sometimes it may not.

The way this should work is: Sometimes it works and a company is successful, and sometimes it doesn't and the company isn't successful.

Musk's apparent mode of operation is: if it works, my company is successful, and if it doesn't work, a lot of customers (or even would-be-customers) will take part of the hit and the company won't be that unsuccessful.

That's not how it should work.

I'm genuinely curious what damages would occur in the US in situation like this? I don't imagine there will be much of a direct hit to Tesla, mostly as I imagine the solar panel contracts aren't stating specific dates of completion; image wise and indirect financial cost, Tesla may not suffer much either from this bad behaviour mostly as they're optimizing for scale and seemingly being cutthroat for their own efficiency.

Afaik you have to have proof of damages, and I know in Canada at least you basically get nothing for emotional distress that may be caused - and in the US from what I know, mental pain and suffering can be a significant part of a settlement or ruling.
STUXNet, by all accounts, was also not very subtle though.

The argument against is summarized in the Wikipedia article.

Basically it is this:

We measure electrons in different places all the time.

Due to the speed of light it can't instantly move from A to B, so for this to actually be one electron it would have to travel back in time to be at some place at the right time.

However, an electron traveling back in time would appear as a positron, so if that what was going on we should be seeing a fairly equal number of positrons as we do electrons, as the one electron rushes around to appear as an electron where it needs to.

Except we don't, electrons outnumber positrons by a huge margin.

It's commendable that the project states "anonymity is hard to get – solely using Tor doesn’t guarantee it" and "it is strongly advised not to use TorBox if your well-being depends on your anonymity". Other such solutions like to gloss over the fact that "using tor !== anonymity" and even the Tor Browser does a lot more to help with anonymity than just route your traffic through tor.

I'm still not sure where such a solution would be a good choice though. Getting access to the broader, uncensored internet is also not as easy as it seems in countries where this applies, e.g. China, as even getting an entry node that works is not easy so this is not a plug'n'play option anymore for that.

That's the right attitude, IMO. Most consumers respond to polish and 'wow!' factor. The Linux desktop doesn't even provide that compared to the competition... Linux on mobile is even further behind both from a hardware and software standpoint. For those who don't care, or are at least willing to overlook the limitations, Linux phones are becoming increasingly viable and provide a number of advantages that the average consumer doesn't value. But there are those who do so there is a market for them.

I don't even use my PinePhone as a phone that much... but it's a fantastic mobile computer. I'll continue to use it and be back for the 2nd gen PinePhone.

I never called it a strength; I simply don't care how fast Python is because I don't need to. Reasoning about what is going on under the hood with Python is just easier than Julia - if it needs to be fast, it's a fast external library being used.

This is really a minor issue stemming from the relative maturity of the languages - if Julia becomes more established I would hope usage of external libraries which don't offer a performance advantage (ie everything besides C and Fortran) eventually gets replaced with native packages to preserve the sanity of the users.

How do you deal in such a project with similar queries that fetch not all the same data?

E.g. Query A retrieves an Author and a count of all the boks he has written. Query B retrieves an author and the title of the most recent book he has written. I see following options:
- make two models, one for each query -> leads to a lot of similar models and code-bloat
- make a base query and fetch additional data with an additional query -> leads to a lot of small queries that would sometimes be more performant as a single query
A decade ago it was also purely local. It didn't require sending any data to third party clouds, and worked faster (no network roundtrips involved).
