Surely warmly recommendable: OruxMaps.

I think you can find the apk at oruxmaps.com

> to OpenStreeMaps

Can I suggest you also try DerStefan's OpenTopoMap, at opentopomap.org .

Also, through the GitHub based instructions from DerStefan, you can build your own maps (tiles). It is an job requiring equipment and time, but it can lead to amazing results (well above the maps you can find around).
Statistically, China is leading the world in solar installations and EV car sales. Admittedly sales figures don't always align with political will/intent, but China seems pretty far along the path towards controlling CO2 adjusting for how much of their footprint is externalized carbon from producing goods for the West, and the "bootstrap factor" that they are on a far faster growth/adoption curve overall than most of the West.

For what it is worth, politically on the record, China has some very strong goals stated, and those installation/sales statistics indicate some aggression towards meeting them.

I think a lot of the worry about China is misplaced for one reason or another. (Especially with the shell game of especially US politics outsourcing so much industrial work to China and then directly blaming China for emissions that should rightfully be accounted for in US corporation bottom lines and blaming China for the outsourcing in the first place as if it weren't done precisely because of that carbon emissions shell game and the gross [fig., lol] profits on the bottom line.)
Both of the features involve opt-in client side content filtering.

The only objections are to that.
I would put it more broadly. COVID was put in service of continuing culture wars and political infighting, like literally everything else. People hate each so much they would rather have death (for them or for themselves) than agree. It's crazy. Everything politicized, even goddamn PPE and vaccination.

> those who were already "government inclined"

It isn't so much "government inclined", or even left versus right, it's in-tribe vs out-tribe. Some tribes, clearly, have only become more entrenched and delusional.
Either everything changes, or stays the same. That's why radical climate measures are a tough sell.
I mean, CSS transforms aren't really that useful for regular static layout webpages, so people didn't mostly need them.

Probably the main thing they're most useful for is animation, and people just used jQuery/JavaScript for that instead, which could do most of what you'd want, if a little clunky.
The NeXTstep UI has a bunch of neat things about it.

I didn't use it much (way too expensive for a PC, and not considered an engineering workstation), but I did get to play with one in a computer lab a short while. And later I used a bunch of open source window management and utilities on Linux that mimicked aspects of OpenStep.

The NeXTstep look was very legible and understandable, and stylish at the time. Compare to Mac of the time, or the later Win95. (Today you might be bothered by the wide non-autohide scrollbars with the stipple, the font aliasing, or the particular shade of gray. But you might find it more accessible than ad hoc brochure looks in a lot of UX.)

On the scrollbars, note that the buttons for the two arrows are right next to each other, rather than at each end, which made a lot of sense if the user is actually clicking on the buttons to navigate, and might want to change direction.

The hierarchical assemblies of lists in the UI seemed to come from Smalltalk browsers.

The desktop icons weren't just to represent programs that were running, like'd see on X at the time, or later in Windows 95, but are more like both launchers and navigation (and could be other things), and dockable. More like the dock in current Mac OS X, etc. (I thought of NeXTstep when I made my XMonad window manager setup, where I made commands that navigate to a particular kind of window, starting the program if needed, and a modifier key can be held down to create additional instances of some kind of window.)

Note that the Mac's trash can became a more environmentally conscious recycling bin.

I'm sure some people who used the NeXT heavily could point out many other points of interest.
The data is only scanned when you attempt to upload it to the cloud in either case.

Apple scans the data on device before it is sent. Google scans it on it's own servers after it is sent.
I think you're right. I think every country is gravitating towards plutocracy, as a modern form of feudalism. Even China. Whatever words we might use to distinguish one form of government from another are largely irrelevant at this point.
Always pop stuff out with position absolute. It sucks to have to know top, bottom positioning, but it’s the only way to get smoother animations (pop it out of the document flow).
TLDR

Valve wants the more frequent update schedule provided by Arch, presumably so that changes they need can be part of official arch releases vs. maintaining their own branches of debian packages that would need merged periodically.
Although I agree with the article, the reality is that CSS frameworks continue to dominate web design. These frameworks do not make use of CSS Grid even though CSS Grid has excellent modern browser support.

For example, Bootstrap and Bulma - two popular frameworks - use flexbox for layout, but have yet to incorporate CSS Grid.

The difficulty of CSS layout is a frequent criticism of CSS (and fair criticism), but now we have CSS Grid to make layout much easier, few people actually use it. As mentioned, CSS Grid has been supported by modern browsers for some time.

You don't actually need a CSS framework for layout if you adopt CSS Grid. But it does entail learning CSS Grid first - rather than rely on the CSS framework you're familiar with.

Early qemu versions had problems with the NeXTstep PS/2 mouse drivers. I created some patches for ancient qemu versions (0.8 and 0.9 in 2005...) to emulate a Microsoft bus mouse, which worked well with NeXTstep (https://github.com/michaelengel/qemuNextSTEPpatches).

I haven't tried running NeXTstep in qemu recently, but I suspect it might simply work today.

The Previous emulator for "real" black 68k-based hardware that is mentioned briefly in the article is actually much more fun and also allows you to run 68k-only software such as Lotus Improv - http://previous.unixdude.net

> It means not just pictures of people without clothes on, but actual images/video of children being abused.

Who said that?

They're the same legally. People have said NCMEC's database includes entirely legal images. And groups like NCMEC have tried to rename child pornography for years.
Indeed so... the first one recommended to me was "An online course that teaches basic programming skills."

After seeing your comment, I tried another 9 out of curiosity... and they all exist.
There have been some outliers like Florida's Ron DeSantis, but for the most part lockdowns have been on and off. The CDC now recommends masking for vaccinated individuals. Restrict, loosen restrictions and then tighten restrictions further. Repeat as necessary. Say what you will of some of the temporary restorations of freedom of movement, but they've normalized putting people on house arrest.

The goal in my view appears to be getting people onboard with the vaccine passports. Once implemented it will be a stepping stone towards CBDC, UBI and social credit scores.

From what I've heard Facebook is one of the better places to go to groom children.

Better would be educating people: don't use your real name or upload pictures of yourself to the internet, be very careful talking to strangers. Don't let younger children use social media services.
Seiko 5 is probably the cheapest, worthwhile mechanical watch. You can always get cheap Chinese and Russian watches as well but they will be of lesser quality and reliability than the Seiko. So to answer your question directly - probably not. But I would recommend checking out Orient watches. They have a decent set of mechanical watches of all different styles, not much more expensive than the classic Seiko 5, but definitely a step up in quality. https://www.orientwatchusa.com/

Thickness is always going to be an issue with automatic watches. You can get thinner watches if they are manual wind since they don't have a rotor. Usually, the thinner they get, the more expensive they get though, so keep that in mind. You can get super thin manual wind watches but they will cost hundreds to thousands of dollars usually.
Thats what page zero was for.
Yes, I agree with that. The two iPhones I had before the 12 Pro Max -- 6s Plus and 8 Plus -- seem to have needed a battery replacement at about the 20th month mark because the capacity was at ~85% at that point. And you being to notice. So yes, doing a battery replacement anywhere inbetween the 1.5 and 2.0 years mark for iPhones is quite expected IMO.
> At that point, war is no longer about a sense of adventure and chivalry and a way of testing your nation's level of manhood; it's become industrial, and horrible.

That sounds like a dangerous glorification of pre-industrial war.
In an alternative universe where they built a remotely updated database, yes. But that’s not this universe.

I’m going to go further and say that people are doing a very bad job articulating why the incremental privacy risk of the scheme is significant, over the always-existent privacy risk of a proprietary vendor updating software they entirely control to scan data uploaded to a cloud service which guarantees no protection from vendor access. A later software update to include more hashes or whatever could always regress privacy.
"In his landmark book Being and Time (1927), Heidegger made the bold claim that Western thought from Plato onward had forgotten or ignored the fundamental question of what it means for something to be -- to be present for us prior to any philosophical or scientific analysis."

No. "what it means for something to be" is, for Heidegger, merely "ontic being", which he was not interested in. Instead, Hedigger was interesested in "ontological being", or "the being of Being".

Now, what "the being of Being" is, is itself the subject of a multi-hundred page unfinished book of what is widely considered to be some of the most difficult writing in all of philosophy.

Because Heidegger's writing is so difficult and so open to interpretation (and re-interpretation), many philosophers disagree strongly about what he actually meant.

For example, what "Being" itself is, for Heidegger, is one of the biggest points of contention. The entire field of Christian Existentialism[1] crystalized around interpreting Heidegger's "Being" as God. But many other philosophers don't interpret it theistically at all.

His other essays outside of Being and Time are equally difficult to understand and open to interpretation. This includes "The Question Concerning Technology", and I'd caution strongly against taking any one summary or interpretation of it as gospel or the final word on the subject.

Fantastic product.

Business accounts have much higher cash drag - much harder / complex market but if you had the full package would be amazing (cash drag can be around $500K easily).

For larger uses of money (house purchase etc) how does that work in this system.

Also, I'd tag it a brokerage account with excellent cash management features - that's the normal way to call this.
The New Yorker writer James Thurber mentioned electric cars several times in his 1933 autobiography "My Life and Hard Times". (If you haven't read it, it's a real classic!)

In the chapter "Draft Board Nights" his grandfather, who is a Civil War veteran, is trying to enlist in the Great War and takes his grandmother's electric car to go find General William Tecumseh Sherman. "[A] man who (or so he often told us) had driven a four-horse McCormick reaper when he was five years old did not intend to be thrown by an electric runabout."

Every time my friends show me arch, they always boast about how great their setup is (it's so stable, everything works out of the box !) then proceed to demo great features.

But then this little thing doesnt work yet because, they say, they haven't configure it correctly. And this little one, it's nothing mind you, it never worked. And this one, just a small detail, but it broke yesterday. We have a different definition of the box.

And so I go back to my Ubuntu LTS. I really want to try arch but I'm not 20 anymore, fiddling with my workstation is not as fun as it used to be. I just want to use it.

Maybe with the steam deck it will become so battle tested it will turn into the most stable distro ever.

I think their decision makes sense though, they don't want to have to craft every update and spend too much time on it. It's a good strat for them.
I was by no means implying that people want this, I know categorically that almost nobody wants this.

But it doesn't matter what people want, I have already lost hope because nothing in our system is geared towards helping out with this. The incentives are completely misaligned and nothing will really change for a long, long time.

As far as I see it, you have the following:
- Our entire world economy is based simply on consuming as much as possible. This is exactly the opposite of what needs to happen in order for us to have a chance, the exact polar opposite.
- People are willing to protest even a few cents in tax increases, even in Europe. In the USA, everything required for climate action will be seen as communist by half the country.
- You have so many other countries coming from behind that will simply want the standard of living you see in the West. (China, India, Brazil, Africa etc.).
- Emissions are actually rising, even though we knew about climate change for decades.
- Politicians have their career in 4 year chunks. Nobody wants to rock the boat by increasing taxes on their constituents and get voted out.
- People have somewhat short lives. Most people who are alive now will not worst of the consequences.

You have very large forces pushing towards maintaining the status quo.

What needs to happen in order to fix our planet will just not happen because it cannot happen. We might be able to limit the damage, but that's about it. If science and technology don't solve this by some sort of miracle, it will only get worse.
Depends on how old you are and how much money you already have. If you have enouhg saved up for a house and you're in your mid thirties or fourties, do what you love and enjoy that.

If you're in your twenties and don't have a lot of financial security yet, I definitely think it's beneficial to just chase money for a couple years.

Money now is worth so much more money later on, it is definitely worth the temporary sacrifice. I have friends who are multimillionaires just because they worked at good jobs and invested a lot of their money in their early twenties.

I've never worked at a FAANG or had a crazy salary but I stashed away a decent amount doing contract SWE in my early twenties and now I'm very financially stable and own a very nice house fifteen years later.
It's automated, weaponized doxxing. We used to worry about teenagers calling the FBI on us, now we have to worry about someone AirDropping you a photo album that will get you arrested.
> The thing that scares me isn't so much the violation of privacy. It's the idea that some computer algorithm can accuse me of a crime automatically with no evidence and generate an investigation.

Nothing about apple’s proposal involves algorithms accusing people with a crime without evidence.

> In the current iteration they are not using AI or anything to identify "bad" content. They are matching hashes for files on on your device against known bad hashes/content.

This is misleading as these are not what most technical people would think of as a hash. These are "perceptual hashes" that can compute a distance, instead of a boolean equal/different, leaving space for false-positives instead of extremely rare hash collisions.

Especially with m68k machines. I thought you could still get those chips in DIP packaging.
Open source software like rclone can do something similar.
Your understanding is incorrect. The NCMEC database is unavailable to your device. The hashes are checked by communicating with a server. In particular, only the server ever learns if there was a match, not your device.
> I want to add that they are scanning your property without your permission.

This is a false statement. Scanning is opt-in.
It’s a pretty weak argument to say that a clearly communicated change in behavior of a single application compromises trust in the entire operating system. You’d basically need to argue that Apple should not be allowed to install any default applications or services.

The Photos application can’t be removed, but this behavior can be turned off.
There are likely other factors that I can't account for because I was only using those phones in a single city -- with rare exceptions going to a rural area for 1-2 days.

Still, your anecdotal evidence does not nullify mine.

There are other ways, most don't allow WFH.

You misunderstand what that quote is referring to.
Current CCS rates are about $60/ton. Given that each PPM represents about 8 billion tons of atmospheric CO2, that's $480B for each PPM reduction. Obviously not great.

But what if that number drops to $30 per ton? $10? If we get the best minds in the world on it, it might be possible. At $10, a $1T investment takes us down 12.5 ppm. That's five years worth of emissions.

It's a monstrous challenge. But it's not completely unimaginable.
The fundamental difference between wargaming and D&D (and tabletop RPGs in general) is the role-playing. D&D is a role-playing game; it happens to use some elements of wargaming but the whole point is the role-playing. There are other RPGs with no wargaming elements.

> replacing formulas with dice rolls

Wargames had lots of dice rolls, afaik ? D&D has lots of forumlas.

> simplified

D&D combat, especially in some editions, can be notoriously complex.

Maybe you and I are talking about different war games.

This whole business makes me want to return my iPhone and iPad for full refund. The terms of ownership have changed significantly since time of purchase, and frankly it feels like a privacy bait-and-switch.

The original Kawa was an interpreter written by Alex Milowski, who is (I assume based on the last name) of Polish backgound. I essentially took over Kawa (with his permission), changed to be compiler-based, and over time re-wrote most or all of it.
> the government can poof into existence trillions of dollars with no ill effects

This is because the federal reserve's printed money goes basically into treasuries and stocks.

The rich save basically all of their money. If they decided to spend it on real-world goods, there would be huge inflation.

But it's probably all nil. The cost of building enough nuclear power plants with economy of scale is probably near the same as building enough solar and wind farms.
I don't want to be too pedantic here ;) , but it was Abraham who was on the cusp of sacrificing his only son to God. But you were close; Jacob was his grand-son.

And I'm not sure what Nietzsche said exactly about it but God is considered to be the creditor (not debtor), who pays for us the humans (indebted by our sins), to himself, with the flesh of his only son.
I think web designers could stand to study actual grid based graphic design and see how that applies to our current capabilities on the web.

As for layout frameworks, I tried to learn them, but as far as I could tell they simply made bad/half assed design faster and easier. For a laughable amount of time they assumed you were building a desktop size column-based layout that was supposed to shrink, and anything different didn't work. So I never used them. It's fine if you're not hoping to produce a good design and just ship something generic, but idk if anything really good has come from them.
It’s next to Lake Wakatipu, which is “310 metres (1,020 ft) above sea level at the lake shore”.

Debian testing is the closest thing Debian has to a "proper" rolling release. It comes with some mild drawbacks like half-baked security support (sometimes security fixes can get tangled with complex transitions and thus be somewhat delayed compared to sid) and the converse issue of long feature/transition freezes when approaching a stable release. But it's not clear that Arch is to be preferred in practice.
Okay, good point. Maybe turning the entire Amazon into a reverse coal mine would do more harm than good. I still think we need long-term carbon storage and using pre-existing timber seems like a good first step. If there's a better capture solution in terms of tonnes/KWH/year go with that, but tossing trees down a hole is a good example.
... which would be essentially plagiarism in other fields.
I don't think I've ever heard an argument that defines individual action in the way you do. Most "individual action" arguments tend to lean towards pushing people to make individual choices to reduce emissions, and many are not substantive – take shorter showers! bike instead of driving to the gym! Even the actions that are reasonable – "give up air travel" – only become significant in aggregate.

> IMHO, Governments ought to _heavily_ tax commercial office space to coerce companies to support WFH. Make it so that the opportunities to commute start to disappear.

I think that's absolutely reasonable and something that should happen now. But "I now work from home because my company told me to because the tax on the office/parking increased to push a shift in behavior" is absolutely not an individual choice.
