Yep, 4.X Android is still going strong, almost like Windows XP.

It's because it's the last Android version Google released without turning it unusable without Gapps.

It is simple to customise. Put any of the crazy CyanogenMod era skins on it, and then customise UI any way you want with your own brand look.

And it is simple to code for, unlike overengineered APIs of later Android versions, with simple raw filesystem access being a particularly highly sought feature.
RPi is barely embedded work. It's almost always micro-desktop Linux.
> Most PBS stations run infomercials promoting quack medicine.

Can you give details? I'm wondering if this was something that only a local affiliate did and not something that was PBS sanctioned.
Or, at least in the U. S., "summer reruns". The show would still be parked in the same time slot, but since production didn't run year-round, episodes from the last season would be rerun over the summer before the fall T. V. season started.

But that was the last chance before you had to wait 25 years for the Dukes of Hazzard DVD box set.
Of course. But there are planets with abundance of silicon(including ours). There are planets with abundance of methane and even here we have lifeforms which can consume it. I'm just pointing out that as long as silicon based life is possible, then given the near infinite amount of time the universe can spend evolving such life, it will surely exist.
Its really not though, the declaration never went into specifics on what parts will become Jewish exactly for this reason. It said a Jewish home IN Plaestine, not that all of Palestine will become Jewish. And even if it is "the definition of colonialism", what does it have to do with anything now?
Ironically, if enough people gave them a penny they wouldn’t have to run those quack informercials.
The use case of crypto is to purchase things online without the knowledge or permission of your government. How you feel about that probably tells you more about how your feel about your government than anything else.

Oh, expensive tools are very nice, certainly.

But if you're a young guy just getting started in a trade, and you can choose between a cheap socket set plus two dates with your girlfriend, or a premium socket set? 9/10 guys would choose the former.
It's not just France - the way that the NYT treats the UK has become a running joke e.g:

https://londonist.com/london/food-and-drink/until-recently-l...

https://unherd.com/2020/01/what-has-the-new-york-times-got-a...

This weird inability to reflect reality I see day-to-day coupled with the insistence on anti-patterns of behaviour for those cancelling their subscriptions has prevented me from taking out a sub to the NYT. That's a shame, as some of the articles are great.
Another comment suggests that Google is just cross-posting your starred Maps locations to Bookmarks, not that your starred locations are part of Bookmarks.
I love how every horror movie in the past ten years has an obligatory scene to establish some flimsy reason why their cell phone doesn't work.
> They don't have a produce section, just a bit of fruit. Is that the issue?

Yes, it is as produce is a group of products that a better margin than produce (and produce spoils easier). By comming into an market and serving produce any other store is put at an disadvantage if they sell produce. This leads to "food deserts", places where you can not find healthy, affordable food.

> Are the small independent grocery stores in these communities stocking produce?

If there are any, they are worried. If you have 7 minutes this video by VICE from 2018 explains some of the concerns. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N6IqsG-Iiik There are also community actions against dollar stores such as here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-vLWTkBQWP0 This CBS reports about grocers being closed due dollar stores moving into towns https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GtAvJBAJfnE drawing parallels to Walmart killing mainstreets

> Is Dollar General and the like creating some kind of price cartel that's putting them out of business?

By serving only non produce goods a competing store which previously was able to carry produce and was able to bear this expense due non-produce sales will see reduced non-produce sales leading to worse financial performance and possibly clousure or a slow death while loosing customer to dollar general.

> previously only had a gas station convenience store and people had to drive 12 miles

This is an improvement for those people, good.

Can you handle intermittency in your power, or do you need to run continuously?
What capacity factor do you assume in your cost model?
Do you buy your toilet paper by the palette direct from the manufacturer?

Everybody trades off the unit size, handling costs and cash flow when buying goods.
It would be weird to couple together the Chrome bookmarks and Google bookmarks at https://www.google.com/bookmarks, by doing so Chrome bookmarks which is a browser specific concept would only be accessible through an internet connection, thereby making bookmarking an extension of a cloud based Google product rather than something the user can choose to decouple.

A better solution could be to automatically backup users Google bookmarks in a new folder under the Chrome bookmarks or move them to Collections which seems to be the new Google bookmarks
"Tensor"? Google makes some great stuff but I really wish their product naming conventions weren't so confusing.

First they have the Nexus 7, Nexus 4, Nexus 10, and then ... Nexus 5, Nexus 6, Nexus 9, ... oh wait they aren't versions, they are number of inches ... -____-

And then they have Google Hangouts, Google Hangouts Meet, google Meet, Google Chat, Google Hangouts Dialer, Google Duo, Google Uno, uh ....

And then now TensorFlow and then Tensor ... is that like TensorFlow without the flow?
I have a story about Gaston, and how funny it is. When I was a kid I would read with a flashlight under the covers after the time that I was supposed to be in bed and sleeping. This worked well for most books but with Gaston I couldn't help myself being in stitches from time to time which invariably attracted unwanted parental attention.

There are a couple that immediately spring to mind, the one where he launches the gas container from the roof of his car, the 'running gag' about the contracts that never get signed and that surprise in fact do get signed and then are promptly shredded by the cat and the badly humored seagull that drops stuff on people.

And the parking meter wars, hilarious.
They are often criminally understaffed, and get away with lower prices as a result. Added to that their shear size, they are able to purchase in bulk cheaper. Which shuts down locally run things, because they can't compete without breaking the law in turn with somehow more abhorrent labor practices.

There was recently a video about a lady who worked at Dollar Tree for just a short time before quitting. I posted a link below, but it's kinda long so I'll summarize. She basically wasn't allowed to take breaks, and had to find her manager to ask permission to get a drink of water. In Florida heat. It was pretty heartbreaking.

The sharp edge looks like it will catch on a pocket. The Nexus 6 also had a flawed camera bump, causing the phone to spin freely on flat surfaces.
At least my understanding was that the SoC would be different but the CPU core of phone SoC itself would be similar with the laptop/desktop/server die. The server SoC would probably feature more cores, with more memory interfaces and higher clock speed due to more thermal allowance.

At least that's what Apple seems to have done between M1 and A series processors.
> the French government had some conception of what kinds of things they wanted the teens to engage in, and this isn't it

Is that true though? Maybe some people in the government feel that way, but it sounds like the goal was just to allow teenagers to buy what they wanted. If they thought kids were going to spend it to go the opera or something, why wouldn't they have put more restrictions on it in the first place?
Loyal | Software Engineer, Data Engineer | San Francisco, CA or Remote (US) | Full-Time | https://loyalfordogs.com

Loyal is an early stage company developing drugs [0] to help dogs live longer, healthier lives. We see aging as a disease that is able to be slowed and improved with medicines. Loyal was spun out of Laura Deming’s The Longevity Fund and is well funded by top venture capitalists and angels.

We are currently a small team of engineers with both traditional tech (Apple, Github) as well as biotech backgrounds (Neuralink, Coda, 20n). We're working on everything from consumer-facing products (Connect your Dogstagram as part of our citizen-science platform) to developing data and operations pipelines to enable basic research in aging [1]. We recently licensed IP around an epigenetic clock to quantify biological aging in mice, dogs, and humans that we are excited about as well [2]. All in all, there's a lot of room to make a significant impact, while also having a Slack filled with dog pictures.

> How many of those 1500 QuickLisp libraries work together without extra work?

I'm not sure what kind of question is that. A whole bunch of them? Certainly not worse ratio than many contemporary or even modern languages. There's a lot less friction to get any random GitHub CL project working than say a Swift one.

I would like to see 2FA (app or security key) support built into WireGuard. Otherwise, it is perfect as compared to the OpenVPN mess.
You’re talking about justifying killing these animals to solve problems that are caused by farming the animals to begin with, which you even say yourself.

I can’t say anything about maintaining soil fertility because I know nothing about it, but what is about chickens that preserves the soil, and why can it only come from those chickens?

Something about nutrients in the soil I imagine, right?
It depends I'd say. Bayern played a lot like this in 2020, which also lead them winning the Champions League. The key difference to what you describe was that they circulated the ball waiting for a chance to play an extremely fast attacking leading to a goal. Like an explosion after a few rounds of slow passing.
Can't phone cases 'mind the gap' though? I suppose they might still leave a little notch across the top of the camera bulge, but I would think that wouldn't bother people too much.
This is even worse across language boundaries. Everyone everywhere seems to listen to the same Anglophone bands these days. In most European countries there used to be different sound you could get coming from local acts. They still exist, but their airtime is much reduced. Also a lot of them play songs in English, I guess to satisfy the customers and just in case they manage to break into the big time.

I think they mean you can mostly get along without a computer if you have a smartphone, but not vice versa, because the modern world assumes you've got a smartphone in your pocket at all times.
Last I checked, the postmarketOS folks were working on submitting drivers for older devices to the mainline kernel, with some notable successes.
I don't quite agree with you. Rewriting software in general removes a lot of security related bugs because the new design is more clear. Of course some new ones will be introduced and need to be weeded out but I think those kind of bugs are the minority and can be weeded out in a fraction of the time it took for the original software.

On the other hand it introduces a lot of usability bugs. Many things are they way they are because of many bug reports of many users that all have their own workflows and usage patterns. These kinds of bugs are harder to weed out. Also they can lead to early refusal by the users of the old software.

Then there is the Version-2 effect of packing in too many new features and deliberately introducing fundamental changes that break everything at once. This, in my opinion, is the worst about a complete rewrite.

In discussions like this people will always call out how our smartest minds are being wasted on serving advertisements. While I despise advertisements and the economy around it, I wonder how accurate that assertion actually is.

So much of the work done at Google and Facebook seems to be solving general computing problems. That's how we got things like React and k8s that aren't specific to advertisements at all. On top we constantly complain about app the projects cancelled by Google. All these projects were build by someone and rarely are directly related to serving advertisements. Not to mention all the very valuable products provided by Google many of us use every day that provide tremendous value despite Google's ultimate goal of serving ads. Gmail, Maps, Docs, Calendar, YouTube, Google Voice and probably many more. Not to mention products we ridicule for their unnecessary changes and internal competitors like Meet/Hangouts. Pie on the sky stuff like self driving cars. AI advancements like Tensor flow. They have a leading security project that slowed down all out CPUs ;)

What percentage of work at Google is in fact directly "wasted" on advertisements?
If I understand correctly, you extract both Calcium and CO2 from ocean water, and use this as input for making cement. The ocean will absorb the CO2 from the air, and that's a win. Where does the Calcium in the oceans come from?

If your process is scaled up massively, will the oceans run out of Calcium? Or will they absorb Calcium from somewhere? What would that Calcium source be?
During the 1948 Palestine war, Jewish troops ethnically cleansed the territory that became the State of Israel of Arab Palestinians. The land and property owned by those Arab Palestinians was confiscated by the state and handed out to Jewish immigrants. Israel does not believe that any of the land or property it confiscated should be returned to its former Arab Palestinian owners.

At the same time, property owned by Jews in the West Bank was confiscated by Jordanian authorities and given to Arab Palestinian refugees. In 1970, three years after Israel had taken the West Bank from Jordan, it enacted a law which stated that all property confiscated by Jordan should be returned to their original Jewish owners.

This is what I meant by "massive irony" but maybe it is just hypocrisy or racism.
Same, not to mention the issues OS wise I've had on linux where a achievable to fix with cmd lines or a config file away and was usually my fault for rushing and not reading.

This assumes that the hypothetical aliens draw (ultimately artificial and arbitrary) distinctions between themselves and other intelligent species. Who knows, they might consider us, another intelligent species, to be 'one of them' in some sense and thus deserving of protection.
Good catch, @bsldld. When it was just two of us experimenting with this, that used to be the case. It's taken care of now.

Regardless of how many different sets of people are watching the same youtube video, it would still be a private screen where only people with your family's unique co-watching URL can join or watch it.

That way the co-watching experience remains private. It will be a separate private screen for your family and theirs.

Thank you for bringing this up and letting me answer this for others too :)
What OCaml story shows is how hard it is to retrofit any sort of proper multithreaded implementation onto a language/runtime not designed for it.

I can't but admire the people who do this for OCaml
You can't really. People think it's simply a matter of getting rid of all the new tech.

It isn't. You'll just be an anachronism. If the entire world isn't living the same way then you are only getting a superficial experience. Instead of living a genuine life, you are merely pretending for a while.
I said nothing on the matter. Neither for nor against. Please stop trying to put words in my mouth.
Think of it this way. Company A is hiring for role X. They get 100 candidates, interview 10, with each candidate going through a 5 interviews at an average of an hour each, assuming they hire 1 candidate, that's 45 hours of people's lives that have now been utterly wasted.

The problem is companies don't care about you and your time until you are their employee. They'll gladly waste hours and hours and hours of your time, because doing so costs them nothing.

There's actually a super simple solution to this problem.

Require interviews be paid. Doesn't have to be a lot, a simple honorarium scaled to the role's salary would suffice.

If your time has a cost to companies, they'll stop wasting it and start optimizing to minimize the time hiring takes instead of optimizing for other factors and ignoring the negative externality of wasting peoples time.
That's not bad either, unless they're under the weird delusion that the only valid culture in France is French culture.

(I personally find manga to be excessively drawn-out, even more than American comics, seemingly in order to sell more books. But that's me.)

I must respectfully disagree with the points you've brought up.
I am hoping to splurge on a phone in 2021, and it's between the Pixel 6 pro and the Fold 3 for me.

As phones they couldn't be more different. The Fold3 aims to completely change the way we experience phones, while compromising on standard phones essentials (camera).

On the other hand, the Pixel6pro looks to be a final evolution of the classical smartphone, maximizing for battery, camera, software-smoothness and hitting all the essentials correctly.
Yah, there is this incomprehensible gnawing notion that crushing oppression is somehow a great way to innovate, and that liberty and self-expression is no more than dalliance.
Why?

What's the useful advantage to a flush back? I don't really see any. As long as I can hold the phone, and it can lie on a table or stand without wobbling, it seems to do what it needs to.

It's not like you're stacking phones on top of each other the way you do books or magazines. (And heck if you work in repair or provisioning and actually do stack phones, it's easy enough to turn every other one 180°.)

Also I don't know where you're getting "fraction of a millimeter" from. Camera bumps are significantly more than a whole millimeter. And their function is depth, not volume -- you can't redistribute it across the whole case or anything. You'd have to make the entire phone thicker, and then heavier as well if you're putting anything into the new extra space.
Bad apples and barrels are a bad metaphor because there's been efforts made to claim that good apples stay good when beside bad apples.

To avoid this confusion, you can refer to rolling a ball on a curve.

A ball at the top of a hill is the bad apple case - any nudge and the ball will roll down.

A ball in a valley will always roll down till it's at the bottom.

A semi-related question: do kernel modules play nicely with device-tree instantiations?

Like let's say I wanted to instantiate an I2C with a custom driver in my device-tree. Can I put the controller's driver in a kernel module that lives in /lib/modules? Or do I need to compile it into the kernel?
