The Lumia 950 XL shipped with Windows 10 native and was Microsoft's flagship phone, so it got updates for longer. But, yeah, live tiles were great and the UI was just super smooth. The dedicated camera button was fantastic. Being able to access Office apps in Continuum was really neat. I'm sure I have the timetable wrong, but there were features in Windows 10 mobile that took years before they were available on other platforms.

For now I'm using Square Home with a Samsung Galaxy, mostly because I like the hardware options on Android better. But, with the whole industry shifting to locked down devices much like iPhones, I may very well switch back to iPhone for privacy reasons. I really liked having a viable third option. C'est la vie.
It is my equipment. I am not buying it for them, I am buying it for me. My health, my back health, my eye health, my wrist health, and my comfort are 100% worth the investment. I don't expect any company to take care of my health for me. I take care of it myself. Are you renting your company access to your car when you drive in? If so, I guarantee you spend more than I do.

I don't think there's all that many safety issues resulting from MISRA-C non-adherence that would be fixed by putting the entire thing on top of a VM. Also, I'd wager almost all issues that a VM can catch are also caught by using a safer language, e.g. Rust (without a VM.)

That said, the really bad safety issues in a car are probably on a much higher semantic level, i.e. "at X level of braking, do Y", which neither a VM nor a safer language like Rust could catch.
lol. you have the board (which is a bunch of volunteers with a lot of time on their hands) and you usually have a management company that implements all the batshit insane rules the “volunteers” make up. Now I ask you: how much would you pay someone to actually write up “violations” and get people to follow the rules? the reality is that these management companies usually do more than 1 hoa (a lot more) and are usually done for profit.
at the end of the day, if the sign is painted every year on a 20$/month hoa, I call it a great success.

I just disabled Sidewalk on mine a few days ago. This feels like it could be part of the plot of one of RMS's short stories a-la Right to Read. Jeez. What a joke. Not a ha-ha joke, you know what I mean.

That said, part of me (a very small part, mind you. Infinitesimal even.) wonders if in some weird way this will be good for the internet? Suddenly, thanks to Amazon, an IP address is no longer a person and you can point to Sidewalk as a concrete example that isn't just owner negligence.

Mind you that's a very thin silver lining for such an absurdly large can of worms, but I digress.

I think what (maybe?) got lost in this blog post is that it's more about the unhealthy nature of lifestyles that encourage the constant churn of socialization than feeling rejected by someone unfollowing me on Twitter. For me, lots of people I know in person follow me on Twitter, it's a bit of a ding. I'm also a super high visibility person on social and elsewhere, which complicates things.

But lots of folks are in this boat -- people like me who are constantly meeting new people, folks who work in jobs that necessitate hundreds of applications, people on dating apps who go on hundreds of first dates. It's not so much that every individual rejection is a character indictment on anyone involved, it's more that the transient nature of socialization is stressful.

I hope my frame didn't suggest a shallow definition of friendship or one specifically anchored in social.

One last example that might be salient - The Bay Area is all about this kind of radical openness that isn't scalable or sustainable. Even if you have more real friends outside of that framework, being a human airport of connection kind of blows. Maybe a very specific scenario.
I got to wonder, are all those people really incompetent? See, another take is that they all clutch when being interviewed. And maybe not every interview; maybe it matters how the interviewer approaches it.

It's not 'under pressure'. Real pressure is schedules and deployments and compute constraints. Not somebody looking over their shoulder.

There is a juvenile form of ALS [0].
The difference here (as stated in the abstract) is that a monogenic direct metabolic disturbance has not been causally linked to ALS.

In more classical versions of this weird disease, up to 120 genes has been implicated in ALS, each of them having dozens of variants, resulting in ten of thousands different phenotypes.

There is no ALS diagnostic, there is only an absence of diagnostic, but finding a case as straightforward as this new one may hopefully provides some clues to a therapy.

As they recount in the abstract "The role of primary metabolic disturbances in ALS has been elusive; this study defines excess sphingolipid biosynthesis as a fundamental metabolic mechanism for motor neuron disease."

I have worked in IT for two decades and usually I spend some time working on something in the evenings as well. If you make a clear separation, it's hard to spend time on expanding your knowledge, whether the goal is to use it for the next day at work or for own personal programming / tech projects.

WFH lets me mix those two a lot more and become more efficient. There's less interruptions since I am not going to the office, and also I have supreme "quiet time" after work, usually between 9pm and midnight.

This, and increasing tendency to suggest the same kind of stuff I've already seen, aka feeding the echo chamber. Also quite a bit of stuff that I've actually _have_ seen.
Nah that cant be right. I trust the experts that said the thing that I feel is right and most convenient at the time.

If the scope is limited to ESP32/ESP8266, it seems technically possible to run QuickJS on them.

From Fabrice Bellard himself:

> QuickJS should be able to run on the ESP32 platform as it is OS independent (as you said, quickjs-libc.c is not part of the engine). For simple scripts it should fit in the available RAM.

They are missing the point.

Coding interview has very little to do with Code!

I hire a lot of developers and the code interview is a pivotal point in the process. This is where I find out how you collaborate, take new ideas and incorporate them, deal with changing requirements, handle criticism etc.

Of course I am validating you actually know how to code but I am really looking for the rest other skills because this is what will make you a valuable integral part of the development environment here.

Trying to throw a 'stump the jock' type of question at a developer is worthless and only proves to show how well they memorize things.

Throwing them a difficult problem that requires them to research, ask questions, collaborate will show how well they will grow and take on new challenges they are uncomfortable with.
Why not in the UK jobs in London factor in the extra required for commute and housing costs.

I reckoned that it would be £10k post tax just for the additional cost of commute (65 miles)
The cost of a false negative to the employer is quite low (missing on a good candidate) compared to the cost of a false positive (hiring a bad one).
I had a similar commute from Olympia to Seattle for about 6 months. Absolutely soul crushing. The amount of people on their phones is mind boggling.

My solution was to figure out how to afford to live in the city. I am privileged in that sense, however.
Amazing news! This has the potential to kill the hideous "you have to be in one of five cities to have a career" insanity that has been a major factor in decimating the middle class. It's created a dichotomy of "no jobs, unaffordable housing, pick one."
Unbelievable. Why don't you link some information here for the benefit of other non-trolls? Like I did below with respect to the (lack of) effectiveness of masks?

"Troll", "misinformation", etc etc. Folks like you have a zillion ways to dismiss those in the outgroup so that you don't have to be bothered with making a real argument. It's how you were all completely blindsided by the possibility that covid was the result of a lab leak.

It's also really good news in preventing a strike first mentality.
A few years back there was this great platform for playing Magic: The Gathering, which didn't enforce anything at all and it was still great. Even did a few tournaments using it.

As long as all the moves are logged, you can enforce the rules by yelling at people.
Not true - that loss was based on employee compensation due to the size of the deal and realized stock appreciation. WhatsApp could have covered operating costs indefinitely from user $1 payments.
It's not legally dangerous. Legally, you have the right to discuss unionization with your co-workers and your employer is legally forbidden from preventing it or retaliating.

It's dangerous for practical purposes, because that law is not well enforced.

A Programmer Used 300 Lines of Code to Help Grandma Shop Online with Voice
(I'm not the above commenter but also disagreed with your prior comment)

> The creators just sold it, private company, private service they could have sold it to anyone they wanted.

I understand and agree with your take now, but this sentence from your last comment seemed like a different line of thinking.

If a creator can just sell it to anyone because it's a private company, that's false and that's a different argument than the specifics of this case not triggering antitrust law.

WhatsApp being bought by Apple could have easily been construed as anticompetitive, so it wasn't just that a creator can sell a private company to anyone they want. (Also, Facebook Messenger could be a reason that Facebook's purchase of WhatsApp is anticompetitive, but neither service was as prevalent at the time).
This is a beautiful example of how bad Wikipedia is within mathematics and a lot of the physical sciences. An introduction such as this would be unacceptable on a page about medical sciences:

"...is the peculiar manner in which the Fourier series of a piecewise continuously differentiable periodic function behaves at a jump discontinuity. The nth partial sum of the Fourier series has large oscillations near the jump, which might increase the maximum of the partial sum above that of the function itself"

I have a PhD in machine learning and also an interest in magnetic resonance imaging. Sometimes Gibbs phenomenon leads to an artefact (called Gibbs artefact) that we see in our images of the heart when we are doing a certain sequence called stress perfusion cardiac MRI. I am not an idiot, and yet I actually cannot understand the first paragraph of this page.

Mathematics articles on Wikipedia so frequently read in a way that is only interpretable by mathematicians or physicists. This is not the point of Wikipedia! You don't even have to pick an advanced topic - the Taylor Series is taught in high school maths in the UK, and look at the introduction to its Wikpedia article, it's ridiculous!

Articles about relatively esoteric topics in the biological sciences are almost always much better, and at least try to first introduce the topic in a way the average reader can understand, e.g. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supraventricular_tachycardia
I suppose I have to agree with you. "Movie Bond" is entertaining on its own, and deserves a fan base... especially for their scripted set action pieces. The actual espionage, intrigue, and interpersonal motivations are barely there though. It's just Bond fighting some incredibly implausible supervillain with some kind of stylish deformity... there's a girl involved, and Bond will usually have a go... rinse and repeat through a dozen movies. You know what? It's a formula that works, and I'm not going to be a hater.
I've heard this idea repeated several times from people I respect, and thus I take it seriously. That being said, I've seen some contrary evidence. At Innolitics, we've hired several engineers out of college who've blossomed into talented and independent contributors within a couple of years. I'm not sure if we're doing something special or different that has solved the "junior's need face-to-face learning" problem, or if it's not as much of a problem as many people think.
>Neither can it simulate the important parts of doing the work.

For sure it can. You can combine problem solving, ability to read code, write tests, avoid common pitfalls, clarify requirements all in the space of 45 mins.

I typically do this by taking a chunk of real code out of the code base, uncoupling it so it can run on its own and writing some stories.
>Again, I have nothing against it personally, but there are norms that most CEOs follow and that Elon disregards.

Most CEOs are effectively as easy to replace as the cleaning stuff wiping their desk is. Elon Musk however? He made a cult out of himself, even more so than Steve Jobs, Jeff Bezos or Bill Gates ever did. This level of cult building can be dangerous (e.g. the Bitcoin price hike/crash or his multiple incidents with the SEC), but also highly effective to raise money and to keep the mechanisms of the stock market at bay - Amazon for example is famous for not paying dividends, no matter the pressure.
I'm not sure there's much of a clear line between the two. Google asked me to solve what was really a brain teaser, but solve it using code. Don't think I was allowed to Google anything.
Are you referring to NOTAMS or something else?
I'm curious - is it an altruistic act to leave this functionality enabled? I'm all for making wifi access easier for people.

The article says the EU is demanding that the US allow EU citizens to sue in US court after their data has been illegally searched (and after the EU citizen found out; presumably due to suffering irreparable harm).

I can’t imagine an EU citizen actually exercising this “right”.

It would be better if they put minimum penalties in place, and they were decided by EU courts, and anyone in the EU had standing to bring charges.

Concretely, if a human rights group could sue for improper data sharing, and the penalty was a business-ending block of further data transfer, then this law would actually have some teeth.
