> When USB-C outlives its usefulness, it can be legislated away in favour of a different standard.

When USB-C outlives its usefulness there won't be any ready-made standard for the legislation to switch to. Or at least if there is such a standard it won't come from the EU, or any other jurisdiction with similar regulations. Why would anyone develop a new standard for mobile devices when the law says they have to use USB-C? There are more profitable ways to spend the limited R&D budget than designing new ports which you might not ever be allowed to use.

I came to the same conclusion. There is so much hand wringing on the internet about it, and most of these people don't remember the 30 pin to lightning transition. Specifically people don't remember what a huge upgrade lightning was over 30 pin or even the USB standard at the time.

The people also talk about huge profits apple is making on charging cables, which just doesn't make sense if you take even a cursory glance at the price of lightning cables on Amazon. I saw numerous multi packs of cables selling for ~$2.25 for a 6ft+ cables. Apple has already signaled the direction they are going with charging standards, and it's USB-C. They are just waiting for the supported lifetime of the lightning cable to be over.

Depends on the country I guess. In Poland poor people usually own cars, just very old and cheap ones, like 15 years old VW Golf with resale value of $500. There are very few people here who can't afford any car at all. If ICE cars are bannned completely, having to switch to extremely expensive EV will be a problem for them.

This is generally correct about ALL technologies. You should NEVER start with a solution and look for a problem except in a very general sense (e.g. looking for potential markets in the abstract). Taking a solution market without having the problem well defined and identified is absolutely Epic Fail.

Once you think you have a market, you should see how it can be done FIRST without your "fancy miracle technology" because NOBODY buys a technology because it's sexy or trendy: they buy because it added value in terms of more capability or lower costs.

And ALL problems have current solutions that almost certainly DO NOT use anything as complex as your technology solution so you have to trend very carefully and deliberately in a rational sense: what value are we REALLY adding? That starts with knowing your competition and the current solution to solving the problem first and then finding every reason why your technology won't work or will be problematic.

You ONLY have market potential once you've exhausted those faults or have objective arguments for your value proposition that have been validated by actual customers. The actual prove is made when they are willing to write a PO to you for the solution. Until then, everything you are doing is unproven.
Unreal Engine is under a different developer license than the one Apple canceled, though the judge did rule it would be legal for Apple to cancel all of Epics licences.

I'd just like to clarify that these blobs are never executed on the main CPU, and are instead running inside the GPU, or possibly "management engine"-like cores inside it. They also likely contain opaque data like DRM-related keys, thermal management look-up tables, etc.
IMO, that charger should be Qi. Ever since trying wireless charging on my Nexus 4 back in late 2012/early 2013 I just can't go back to sticking a cable into my smartphone just to charge it. Makes me feel dirty.
Ad hominem would be "he's a covid-denier, his research is worthless."

What I actually said was that he was an expert in research quality, and then promptly helped generate very shoddy research that was outside his area of expertise and ended up widely criticized by people actually in that field. Pointing that out is not ad hominem.

Extremely early-on in the pandemic he ran around shouting with no evidence that COVID was not very infectious and not deadly at all, and really, we needed to stop with these silly lockdowns and social distancing and masks and so on.

He then changed his tune to claim that actually covid was very infectious but this meant that the death rate was very low (and thus we needed to stop with these silly lockdowns and social distancing and masks and so on.)

Even his claim of very high infection / low mortality rate were true, it doesn't change the fact that ERs and ICUs have been repeatedly swamped, predominantly in countries, states and counties where political leaders are not employing standard pandemic control measures.

The man was literally shouting "THIS IS NO BIG DEAL STOP LIMITING OUR FREEDOM" while ERs and ICUs filled to the gills with dying people and in many places they literally could not burn the bodies fast enough.

His early claims were junk in part because COVID often was not mentioned or listed as cause of death, especially early in the pandemic.

PS:

> You're simply dismissing one of the most-cited scientists in the world

Appeal to authority. See? I can play that too. Maybe you can fool the average HNer into thinking citations imply credibility, but absolute junk research can end up highly cited because it was junk and many researchers sought to validate said research or pointed out its obvious flaws.

Next time, try arguing this stuff with someone who didn't work in a lab that was doing linguistic analysis of research, a project that existed because citation counts are completely worthless for identify novel research or evaluating its validity. And to head it off at the pass: yeeeeeees, even if you include journal impact factor.
Commercial software often contains components licensed from third parties. So a vendor can't really open source their code in a meaningful way without also getting permission from the whole dependency chain. And in practice that's often impossible.
I've been thinking of building AMD based gaming Linux workstation as well. What has been a bit daunting is to understand which combination of drivers should I use? And what they do / how they perform? E.g. should I use AMD proprietary driver[0] or it's free(?) alternative from AMD? Or stick with the linux default driver? What about MESA? Which version should I use? Latest available[1][2], or what ever comes with the distro?

Also, it's not obvious (to me anyways) how to properly measure performance should I want to measure the impact of different kernels/drivers/etc. combinations for the GFX performance.

And then there is VRR / FreeSync. I believe it will work under X and Wayland (only using Sway?). What about under 'raw' KMS/DRM?

Nonetheless soon probably boldly going to where little guides / instructions exists...

"Criminal prosecution for Dieselgate" was political theater of the worst kind. It's an example of systemic and institutional corruption and all that has brought was a couple of scapegoats.

With a `Counter` you would be counting each access from a given IP as a hit against a category, rather than counting the IP itsef.

Currently if 4 clients hit one URL and 1 client hits 5 logparser will register 5 records in each category (unless they're classified as bots for browsers and systems). With a Counter, it'd be 9.

Both informations could be accessible using a `defaultdict(Counter)` but I don't know how useful that would be to the people actually using logparser.

I think it matters because the maker of the OS also makes the Pixel, so the Pixel line can be considered the “reference hardware” for Android.

I can't answer all your questions, but a few at least. You should use the latest kernel (and firmware) and Mesa you can. That will give you amdgpu (kernel driver) and radv (user Vulkan driver) from Mesa and the best compatibility and performance. AMD's proprietary driver, amdgpu pro, sometimes performs better, but the consensus these days is to just stick to Mesa and open source.
I use LinkedIn as a memory dump for job history and to keep tabs on old co-workers, but I actively try to avoid it otherwise.

This is completely not true, all those old games had tons of bugs.

I think we don't think of them as having a ton of bugs for a few reasons; one, we didn't have the social media forums to post bugs and read about them, so unless you personally encountered a bug, you wouldn't know about it. Since most bugs only trigger under rare circumstances, most people aren't going to know about them. Secondly, since we knew there were never going to be updates, we didn't think about things not working as being 'bugs' that can be fixed... they became just part of the game.

I do want something like this actually, just OPML import/ RSS feeds to personal newsletter. Make it without Twitter sign up and I'd pay a few bucks a month even for a clean newsletter of my feeds delivered daily/weekly based on "quantity".

Side note on the design that's sort of a personal opinion, I absolutely despise websites that immediately shove a non-closable modal forcing me to sign up before even seeing anything checking things thoroughly. The idea of having something in the background with modal on top that's not closable just to entice/attract me as a user is a MAJOR signal that some sort of a shady data-selling something is going on in you background, aka service doesn't care-about/respect actual users but just trying to increase the number of signups/gather-more-data. Even if I was ok with signing up with Twitter, this sort of dark pattern is an instant close-tab for me, I wouldn't even bother removing the overlay crap with ublock.
Definitely we need a mix. These look great, the more alternatives available and explored the better for us all. Hopefully these systems and standards will organically diverge, converge, and diverge again (into infinity), as is key to any kind of technological development/experimentation.

They are very clearly agreeing to follow the app store rules.

They're also trying to force them to change, but they are very clearly agreeing to follow whatever the rules are at all times.

The rules do not include "you cannot sue us" or "you cannot appeal decisions". If apple tried to put those in the rules, the court would quickly remove them from the rules, but also Apple did not, and almost certainly will not even attempt to put them in the rules.
> Right now, it’s impossible to be outside comfortably before 20:00 at the earliest.

That's true for you. I don't experience that at all, there hasn't been any day this year where I found being outside uncomfortable at 18:00. To the contrary actually, there have been quite some days where it was fine at 18:00 but no longer comfortable at 22:00. We didn't have a particularly warm summer this year, but even in previous years there were very few days where I found it uncomfortably hot outside around dinner time. And I live in .nl, so it's not colder here than in northern Europe.

As someone with experience on the hiring side, I occasionally help newbies by providing reviews of their resumes/portfolios. I typically tell them to drop photos because that's the norm here in North America, but if I had to generalize, my advice would be to follow the norms of the country/city where you are applying.

The rationale is simple and pragmatic: employers want to find the gold nuggets, but snowflake resumes scream lack of experience and can easily be filtered out in early stages of the funnel.

Inexperienced people often make these intricate resumes w/ fancy templates, but all that tells me is they're fluffing it up to compensate for lack of content - sometimes in a quest for beauty, they don't even spell out their contact information!

My advice to those people is to go talk to a recruiting agency or a local job board. They can help find and correct all of those faux-pas, catered to the local market expectations.

I honestly don't know. On one hand I'd love for a standard used by everyone, but on the other hand I fear it'll limit innovation. What if Apple want to sell a full wireless phone with MagSafe only for instance? What if someone invents something better than USB-C?

I'd like an alternative where manufacturers have to sell their products with USB-C, but they can sell the same product with something else if they want (eg. Apple would sell iPhone xx USB-C, iPhone xx Lightning, iPhone xx MagSafe... but they'd be forced to sell an USB-C variant)
