Sure, it was a downgrade in some ways. A major upgrade in others (aesthetics, UI, web browsing, maps, camera, etc.). I didn't say it was better in every way, just that it was better. Although that year it was still outsold by Blackberry -- the last time that would happen. The 3G was the first unit to outsell RIM.
I play piano and touch type pretty fast. This example, of using the right pinkie for Backspace, is a good analogy with piano fingering.

I use my 4th finger for Backspace, not 5th (pinkie). While pinkie may seem logical at first, it is much shorter on my hand than 4th. To use 4th, I only have to move my wrist to the right. To use 5th, I have to move my whole arm toward the screen, which is a much bigger deal. Same kind of thing happens in piano fingering all the time.

The other key thing about fingering is you don't want to stretch fingers if you can avoid it. Stretched fingers cause fatigue and fingers are less flexible when stretched. Try stretching your fingers apart and moving them quickly. So when finding a fingering, you want to group notes into comfortable hand positions, play what you can in that position, then move your hand to the next position. This is commonly called grouping and surfacing if you want to do some research.

You also want to avoid playing with your wrist twisted to the far right or left. If your fingering requires a twisted wrist, the notes should probably be grouped a different way, which will also change the hand position and fingering you use.

How does SOA make this worse? The alternative is I guess that no one owns things, so team A could have touched the code, and then no one wanted to maintain it so it would have accrued as debt?

It sounds like it's working really well to expose an organizational failure. As soon as you have "A owns service, B asks A to build feature, A won't" that has nothing to do with SOA and it's instead about how you prioritize work. Whoever owns the business priorities will have to make the call on what happens here.
Fun fact about sardines: they used to be super popular in the US, until they were massively overfished on the west coast (Cannery Row is the classic example). They were gradually replaced over the 80s with milder fishes like tuna and tilapia.
With bodybuilding most bodybuilders will agree that the only (legal) effective supplement for weightlifting is creatine, with vitamin D, fish oil, and multivitamins generally recognized as also useful for general health. But the most important “supplements” are anabolics which of course can’t be legally advertised. The problem is average Joe doesn’t know that, and bodybuilders need to make money (most make very little if any money from bodybuilding) so they do endorsements and marketing for health brands which are legal even if they may not be effective.

Preworkout is a bit different because it actually is marginally useful for workouts, and I think most actual bodybuilders take some form of it. But it’s super cheap to produce so most of the expense is on marketing. You can make homemade PWO with stimulants and “pump supplements” for super cheap if you buy the raw compounds

Not sure. I'd argue that "refactoring" (also by its name) is less about eliminating duplication but rather about restructuring in general. Sure, in many (most?) cases you introduce new abstractions into code that was written before those abstractions could be clearly identified. But in my understanding it is just as much about replacing or (rarely) removing abstractions. When I see a commit that says "refactored X" I certainly don't assume there is only code deduplication in it.
> “ For a lot of people on the outside of that demographic, he's just a fun, brilliant, if occasionally douchy guy who's way less out of touch than his billionaire contemporaries, and actually works to build neat things.”

Yeah - this is basically my take, and stated better than I did in my comment.

Whatever device you use to access the internet is simply the medium. The problem lies with the services you access from it, of which many have the business model relying selling your attention and thus manipulating the shit out of you into spending more time with them.

I'm able to enjoy the rare episodes of having a real life without being in my phone all the time, and I'm very picky about my notification settings. Every time I receive an unwanted or non-informative notification, I make sure to prevent that from ever happening again. Seeing /r/assholedesign on reddit, most people aren't like that though.
It still can't be trusted for articles related to politics, specially if you're reading it in a language different from English.
As a historical note, I'll point out that 1975 computers weren't as primitive as the article implies. Virtual memory was introduced commercially in 1961 with the Burroughs B5000. Cache memory was introduced on the IBM System/360 Model 85 in 1969.
Quora also degrades because as soon as you have a popular site that individuals can push unfiltered content to, the scammers, spammers, or just people with positions/products to push show up. It's pretty clear that moderation (both community and admins) are a pretty important part of a popular crowdsourced site. (Not that I disagree with your point as well.)
I don't want my YouTube recommendations tainted by that.
You figure Tesla would be the in the world's top 10 companies by market cap today if Musk hadn't invested and run it, and the company was still run my Marc Tarpenning and Martin Eberhard?

I mean...it's hard to prove a negative, but just to mention one of the tens of critical moments along the way, I have a hard time seeing how someone less ruthless than Musk would have saved them from bankruptcy in 2008.

Another obvious juncture was the whole thing about building a battery factory costing more than the company's market cap a few years prior, doubling the world's battery production capacity...

It really depends on the terms of the contracts involved. Section 11 says that they get the title of the item if they determine it is undeliverable "for whatever reason":

https://pages.ebay.com/shipping/globalshipping/buyer-tnc.htm...

Basically their interest in people continuing to use the service is the only reason they have to perform, the contract says something to the effect of: ha ha we can do nothing if we want.
I have a weed bush I deal with called buckthorn, and you can cut every branch down to the ground and that sucker is coming back in a week or two unless you get a stump grinder.

This document from the Minnesota DNR expresses just how hard it is to kill it: https://files.dnr.state.mn.us/natural_resources/invasives/te...

Specifically it suggests cutting it to the ground and then, if you don't want to use herbicide, to cover it with a black plastic for one to two years. And it says the seeds it drops remain viable for five.
I actually have a teacher so I can speak to this: a teacher helps a lot because they police my technique when they watch me play and point out errors in my technique.

Yep. 6 GB of ram on a phone should be plenty for anything you can throw at it, but even that seems to be a lower midrange spec today.

Oh, are they here? It’d be fascinating to hear from them.

Alternatively, perhap, that hostile tone is suggesting I’m personally unqualified to interpret loosely framed questions? I suppose, since I’ve only been doing it for a few decades, I’m definitely a novice by any standard, and my tendency to observe and follow up on anomalous, incomplete, subtly conflicting, or otherwise inexplicable requirements by investigating both the timeline and substance of the original context, and the apparent motivations and outcome preferences of the author, is sheer beginners luck, and any uptick in stakeholder utility that from time to time accompanies amending recommendations following such investigative and analytical activity a sheer coincidence! So that must be it - as you can probably tell from all this smug, empty bravado, I’m really just sharing pure speculation, wild guesswork, total fluke, impertinent leaps of inferential faith, only just grasping at the vague outline of my own blind spots et cetera et cetera, and consequently yes, I’d love to hear the original intent restated from the horse’s mouth, too; but, for the meantime, I’ll read the tealeaves, systematically analyse and synthesise to the best of my ability, describe and discuss any substantive points of comprehension that I think might help enrich, or at any rate challenge, a reader’s perspective (including my own), and cross my fingers hoping to read, mark, and inwardly digest what new understanding or revealed wisdom as I can - even when it comes, as it has there and here, via diacritical allegory and dialectical hellfire.

Or, finally, if you just want the TL;DR version, the reason I feel unshakeably comfortable asserting that the question author's actual purpose is normalising a nonconforming document into XHTML, by balancing open & close tags, is because they said so.

It's in an answer comment about halfway down the first page.

> "Can you provide a little more information on the problem you're trying to solve"

"Determining all the tags that are currently open, then compare that against the closed tags in a separate array"

If that's not enough, here are quotes from their other questions, posted in the minutes and hours prior:

"How to balance tags with PHP", and

"I need to write a function which closes the opened HTML tags."

Sometimes, we just have to bother reading what's in front of us.

I'm very loosely involved in the highly customized keyboard business, think runs of a couple hundred units.

One vendor is having trouble finding any chip to design for. The software stack supports a couple of dozen STM32 chip series, but none of them are even remotely available. I've seen a lead time of over 11 months. Before COVID, pretty much every single chip was in stock almost all of the time.

Respinning a board isn't too difficult, but good luck doing that if there's no chip to respin it for.

For so many species to have indepently developed wood, it must be a highly beneficial (or, at least, not detrimental) adaptation that is relatively easy for plants to mutate. I would not expect a more complicated fundamental structure (an eye, for example) to have developed indepedently numerous times, but something a bit simpler like wood is not terribly surprising.

I am expecting responses to the tune of "eyes are not that complicated" and "wood is actually incredibly complex."

Do all creatures with a brain share a common ancestor? Even more fundamentally, do all creatures share a common ancestor? The answer appears to be "maybe," which I find to be fascinating [1].

It's a pseudoforce in the same way centrifugal acceleration is "fictitious"

It's a consequence of massive objects following geodesic motion on a curved space; e.g. To keep an ant on a sphere you would need "something" to ensure the ant's velocity doesn't lead the ant's position "off" the sphere. That something is interpreted as gravity.

I've been looking into plants recently and they are mind-blowing.

I don't even know where to start.

In re: TFA, most annuals that we use for crops have perennial versions. I just planted a "thicket bean" (Phaseolus polystachios) which should grow for years! There are perennial kales that grow into small tree-like "canes". There's a thing called a "strawberry tree" that is exactly what it sounds like: a tree that grows strawberry-like fruit. It goes on and on.

One take-away is that agriculture as it has been practiced is about the dumbest way to grow food. :( Check out Gabe Brown's videos on regenerative agriculture to see how we can grow food and increase fertility and volume of soil by incorporating more species and doing less work. See also the "food forest" concept: imagine a park or botanical garden where every species is edible. It takes a while to set up but then it is self-sustaining with low labor, you mostly just harvest.

Another take-away is that we mostly already have all the technology we need to make a really fun and enjoyable civilization. We have all these species that can develop food, medicine, clothing, fiber, wood, etc. such that the vast majority of our needs can be fulfilled in a garden.
We (https://synth.app) do something similar to tab suspender with some slight modifications. My browser CPU/memory usage has dropped significantly and it’s really noticeable.

One thing we learned is hot-swapping screenshots while you load in the background (on pages you haven’t interacted with) works wonders.

Basically I go back to a tab, see the info where I left off while our browser hot swaps it with the loaded page. Often just hovering on the “sleeping” tab list to see the last captured shot to grab the snippet of info or to realize that isn’t the tab you needed is sufficient. I’m not sure if suspender does this.
I can agree that the rating systems should be updated. But that doesn’t mean they are worthless.

And one reason I think people miss for harsh rating on sexual imagery over violent, is it’s used by sexual predators in grooming.

I don’t think people have yet come to grips with the depth of the problem. Jeffrey Epstein is not an outlier... it’s the tip of the iceberg.

Increased sexual imagery in media is part of the process of normalizing behavior that predators use, and they typical start with introducing kids to material...

The terms linked in my sibling comment expressly say otherwise. The title remains with the seller until they either deliver it or decide to dispose of it. Which is hilarious.

Transfer of Title. Title to a GSP Item remains with your Seller until such time as the GSP Item is successfully delivered to you or your consignee, at which time title to the GSP Item shall transfer to you or your consignee. At no time do eBay (or its affiliates), Pitney Bowes (or its affiliates), or the third party logistics providers, shipping carriers, customs brokers, freight forwarders, or other subcontractors under contract with Pitney Bowes take title to a GSP Item.

My Acer aspire from 2015 or so cost me $450. It came with 8GB of RAM the RAM is also upgradeable. I could swap them out for 16GB. Unfortunately the video card in it is trash.

I feel like each year cars get way safer. It started with blind spot detectors/cameras, and modern cars will even brake automatically and keep you in your lane (or at least warn you if you leave it).

Maybe new features like self-driving aren't as interesting, but I would buy a new car instead of a used one just for the perceived improved safety.

I don't know if there's any research showing that these features actually reduce accidents/fatalities though (plausibly if they malfunctioned it could be worse than nothing)

> Prior to Tesla the only real electric car with market share was a Prius. Now every car manufacturer is fully bought in to electric

You could say that about any first to market product. The first one who got serious market share must have caused everyone who followed, right? That's not the simplest explanation.
You essentially can't get that big, survive that long, or be so relevant without deserving criticism. Until people are angels, large complex efforts that survive necessarily need to be kind of shitty in one way or another. Linux (and Linus) are in the same boat. The ways that they are shitty have maintained (and are necessary for) the ways that they are great.

People argue the opposite, that things could be better, that the criticisms could be addressed and everything else would continue on, but I'm not so sure. Where is the large, successful organization -- based on money or not -- which has survived into greatness without these kinds of criticisms?

It reminds me of Marxism/Communisms/various utopian ideas. People have big ideas about how things can be "perfect" and all problems can be abolished. Except for a very few, very small exception, when those ideas have been tried, the outcome has been far worse than the problems that were trying to be avoided.
History becomes inevitable after it happens.

Yes of course the equipment breaks down but older equipment is easy to repair. It is very rare for a fab to be decommissioned and the equipment scrapped - in fact I have never heard of this happening to any production facility with 6” or larger wafers. That equipment will go to de-bottlenecking at some other fab and net production capacity for the node will increase.

Obviously many very old chips are out of production but not because the equipment broke down and was never repaired.

It’s hard to predict, even if only a couple of months ahead. As the economy picks up a lot of people who had rent relief may have some sort of income, perhaps enough to push them positively over the line. Not all of the renters on relief, obviously, but perhaps enough to chop the number of actual car repossessions significantly.

Separately, I suspect that quite a few of the ppl who had rent relief had cars that, let’s just say, wouldn’t be highly sought in he used vehicle market.
