Is that an issue with the waydroid repository, or with my setup?
Agree-- Even if it's possible I always feel dirty to do that kind of "magic", and always prefer this way:

def handle_event(save, params, socket) do
socket = socket
|> put_flash(:info, "It worked!")
|> redirect(to: "...")
{:noreply, socket}
end

I feel like it's more readable this way.
Well that is NEVER going to happen.

It is also completely unreasonable to assume your clients all upgraded to the previous model which still had an USB-C charging brick when all the previous chargers had a USB-A port.
I don't have links handy but Sweeny directly addressed this. Sony and Microsoft are willing to negotiate with Epic. They get to find a middleground that both sides are happy with. Apple does not negotiate, a developer that has $5 in sales get's the same deal as Epic. Sweeny stated that if Apple had been willing to negotiate similar to Microsoft and Sony then we wouldn't be here.
Re: having multiple projects in the air

> the reality of it is that you don't make much progress on any of them because as soon as one of them gets difficult, you just bounce over to another one that feels easier.

This really rang true to me. I have so many projects, and once I hit a significant technical wall, I usually start looking at other projects where I can get things done more easily and get gratification quicker. It really sucks, and Burkeman's recommendation of focusing on only one project at a time until you're done makes a lot of sense.

That said, it also requires a lot of determination to see something through. I think for me that is one of the most difficult things: having sufficient motivation to accomplish a task despite the difficulties. There has to be a great reward on the other side in order to push through the tough stuff. Only a few times in my life have I felt that sort of motivation for projects, and I'm not really sure what the throughline was between them, but I hope to capture that energy again someday.
It's estimated 2 billion people use google. And in the US for instance, one third of the people here have records for criminal activity. Google doesn't have the manpower to call the police on millions of criminals actively using their services.
I guess you've never heard of "security through obscurity".
The most likely outcome of demanding software support would be the elimination of perpetual software licenses and maybe logic bombs in the hardware to destroy the hardware after a certain calendar date.

So buy an iphone in 2023 (or really any hardware), the software license says it'll only work until 2025, after which its illegal to operate all licences revoked and only a 'computer pirate' would illegally try to run an iphone 2023 after 2025, and to enforce that if an onboard real time clock sees a date significantly beyond jan 2025, say... march 2025, it'll fire some FET transistors to crowbar the battery circuit and blow the internal fuse (hopefully thats all that happens LOL...)

It'll be greenwash marketed as "making the world safe for those dangerous old lithium batteries". "Help prevent lithium battery fires while also saving the planet, by recycling your old phone every two years"

A distant side effect of that will be something like forcing the adoption of something like certificate protected NTP service, because honeypot MITM types might find it hilarious to spoof a coffee shop's wifi, get everyone to connect to their fake network, then emit NTP packets claiming its 2040 thus making all equipment on the network self destruct. Imagine a cheap little $5 raspi level of hardware that can be plugged into any open ethernet port on any enterprise network, determine and take over the local NTP service via some trickery or whatever, then it bricks every piece of enterprise hardware on the LAN, LOL. Maybe it bricks unless the enterprise makes a special payment thats only 10% the hardware cost of all enterprise hardware, LOL... The future is always an exciting time for infosec workers, LOL.

"We" already convinced people to replace incandescent lightbulbs that lasted a decade with "LEDs that will last forever" except home depot only sells LED products that are engineered with insufficient heatsinks such that LEDs only last two years, so now people buy new bulbs five times as often as the "bad old days" because they think they are "saving the environment" with LEDs. I'm sure we could pull this off with phones and any other equipment that uses software. Heck, put five cent microcontrollers with RTCs into each LED light bulb to make absolutely certain nobody gets more than two years life out of LED products....

>Also, sending a low quality screenshot of a mobile screen isn't a professional thing.

Cause a pdf is much more professional just because you open it in Adobe vs your photo gallery...

This is bar none some of the most business oriented pretentiousness I've ever read on here. There is nothing wrong with image files and screenshots. It's just a file format. The fact that you save one as a pdf doesn't change the fact that, again, the content is the absolute same. Anybody who is that anal about how they receive a file that does the exact same thing is completely out of touch. In my experience, only old people say the things you're saying cause they don't know how to work with various files.
You are asking the wrong question. They expect it because it's the norm in Germany. Human is psychology is such that a resume with a photo is just more memorable, so it became the norm because applicants do it. Bias is less of a concern in a country that is historically more homogeneous.
Honestly, I'm not so sure about your conclusion. Businesses themselves don't want job runners. They want their job to be easier.

I mean, that's what I liked about Delphi: It was inflexible, it was (relatively) low on code. Not as much as Visual Basic, which for me always seems to have crossed one bridge too far.
But it wasn't exactly highfalutin software engineering all the time. Especially when you're just "beating Excel" by having a simple database interface.

Mainframe apps are something entirely different, but at least the interface is even closer to the data. Some form based apps seem rather like "naked objects".

I think those two "extremes" worked well. Very restricted UI, but that means it's easy to get familiar with it, and enough shortcuts to involve into a very honed workflow for experts.

Or a native app, where you're just used to how things work, from toolbars to scrollbars to combo boxes.

Early web apps were worse, as the HTTP cycle messed up easy tasks, both from a programming and UI perspective. And you still didn't have system-wide shortcuts and all the other UI niceties that were happening since Apple introduced the Mac in 84.

But modern ones? Yeah, sure, now you've got easier dialogs, but still no proper shortcuts and expected UI behavior -- and the web and mobile apps are now going on for long enough that nobody knows anything about that anymore, so there's no word for this loss. I can forgive people not knowing about files and folders anymore, but people should know how a button looks and works.
> Kinesis are keyboards with separated key clusters, but not split keyboards. When one says split keyboard I think they are normally talking about things like the Ergodox EZ/Moonlander

Kinesis has also their freestyle-line, which are physically splitted keyboard. But traditionally, the name refers to the split of the key-segments, not the whole keyboard. Until a decade ago, there barely where any real split keyboards, and split segments was the mainstream.

> Most of these kinds of keyboards also support whatever key switches you prefer, and there are plenty of options that are sufficiently quiet for zoom (pretty much anything linear should do the trick)

But even the most silent switch can't compete with the absorption of a normal rubberdome. Stiff matter hitting stiff matter always produces some noise, and most people don't know how to use mechanical keyboards correctly to reduce this.
I agree there are problems with our prison system but that is not the same thing as slavery.

The actual text of 13A makes involuntary servitude and or slavery a specific statutory exemption to the abolition of slavery. How can one read it, then say it's "not the same thing"?

I wasn't aware that the merits and table stakes of this particular discussion was whether or not other countries permitted slavery, when several grandparent comments ago, it was established that the criticism was levied against the United States-in a discussion about actions taken by two corporations that exist in the United States?

Is the whataboutism regarding other countries and their statutory frameworks on slavery really relevant here?

> I just opted for a 2022 Nissan Leaf over a Tesla Model 3

If you want Leaf because you want lower price, feel free. No problem with it.

But if you think the electronics or architecture in the Leaf are superior in any you are simply wrong.

> I really really really want to like Tesla, but this is beyond insane.

You are simply wrong on your assumptions about how Tesla works.

Yes Tesla has unified a lot of functionality into one core system, but literally every car maker is copping that strategy. In fact the older 10-100s of chips distributed system talking over buses was actually much, much more prone to bugs.

Even if that main system fails, the Tesla can still drive, this has been shown often by many people who rebuild Tesla or had issues with the core computation.

> I sincerely hope that SpaceX avionics are not designed this way.

Go look at the teardown and analysis of Tesla. Seriously, I highly recommend Sandy Munro. They do incredibly detailed teardowns of cars including Tesla. They have been doing it for decade and their business is selling that information to other car makers for (50k a pop).

Its actually the other way around. Tesla cars are designed more like SpaceX rockets or fighter
jets in terms of electronics.

You can actually get their documents of the BMW i3 for just 10$ and you can basically rebuild the car yourself.

And literally everything they said about Tesla in terms of electronics was positive and well ahead of industry standards.

> It also has a 12V lead-acid battery that can power all the electronics if the main power system totally eats itself

So does every Tesla except new generation Model S. They have a 12V LiIon battery instead. And it has the same function as in a Leaf.

Elon has for a long time wanted to switch to 48V systems but they have not managed it yet. I hope they will get it with next generation Y or the Cybertruck.
You could have a system of "software trusts" where source code is held in escrow. Businesses and governments could require this in vendor contracts.

Even if consumers see their sales taxes and other consumption taxes on their receipts, it's not the full picture. Every business in the supply chain has their own taxes to pay. What portion of those are implicitly passed on to consumers? And what about the suppliers of those businesses (a supply chain is more like a a supply graph)? Where does it end? What about imported goods (which in the US is probably a majority of consumer goods) whose manufacturers were taxed in their own countries? How do you track their taxes? Who's going to do this calculation? How does it not end up needing an even larger bureaucracy to tally up?

Frankly "taxes are theft" is a narrow-minded point of view that I have little time for. Complain about how high your taxes are, complain about how the government wastes money. But it's not "theft", at least in democratic countries. It's the price of living and working where you do.

> "Two perfectly good pieces of electronic gear have become useless, simply for want of software updates"

isn't even true. The PSP is "useless" (in his book) for want of hardware updates and the same is probably true of the tablet to be honest.

Ask HN: Augmented Reality career change with no direct experience?
Hi HN,

I'm wholly convinced that augmented reality will be the next "wave" of personal computing within the next few years.

The technology required to make a compelling AR headset seems to be converging rapidly: ARM-based SOCs continue to get more efficient and more powerful, smartphones (often the 'companion device' to the headset) have compute/memory capabilities rivaling relatively recent desktop computers, Li-ion battery density is increasing at a steady rate, and microLED technology is quickly becoming compelling.

As someone with a strong software engineering and advanced mathematics background, but no background in augmented reality, how does one "break into" this industry?
Mind to list some issues in Mexico's growth prospect?
And then, of course, you want nearby areas to have the same time, so you could define regions that have the same "noon".

You could call them, let me think for a second, you could call them "time zones".

There. Problem solved. No more annoying time zones, just "time zones".
Can someone persuade me why this isn't definitive bikeshedding? I hear the EU's justifications, and I broadly agree with them, but I don't think they're nearly worth the effort.

> An App distributed on the immensely popular iOS platform can be used to advertise alternative platforms at different pricing. The “fair” price if this was allowed to happen would be a 0% cut since no one in their right mind would pay any amount extra if given the option.

From a practical point of view, the only thing it broke was Ad sponsored results on Google, so I had to teach my wife to go for the normal results, or search directly on Amazon or Wayfair or wherever. What broke for your wife's online shopping?
But what I do think is they should be forced to release their source code if they no longer want to maintain it.

This is a common suggestion from open source fans but it quickly fails on practicality. What if the code includes licensed software from a third party? What about trade secrets of the developer, or information provided to them in confidence by a third party?

You quickly end up back at software developers either having to maintain indefinitely or accept an onerous set of restrictions and either way the end result is that a lot of software never gets made at all.

There is definitely a serious problem with having our modern dependence on software and yet accepting the very limited support that some developers have tried to get away with lately, but I don't think attempts to force the source open are likely to be the solution we need.
I've never had it explained to me what's wrong with hypocrisy. None of us live by our high ideals, do we? It's funny when a comedian points that out, but why should we do as we say?

They can also just set policy by fiat on the fly. When Lehman collapsed, Treasury and Congress had to scramble and scrap to utilize their limited authority to contain and cushion the crash. Then years later passed a law to give them more tools and watch it get chipped away by courts and future Congress's and whatever is left will be enough for the next crisis.

China can just do whatever, whenever. If they need to break up Evergrande, nationalize it, take its assets, censor the media, send their execs to gulags forever. They just do it.
Hey, thanks a lot. These are great tips. Context Charts look really good and lightweight to run. Porcelain seems verty promising. Guess I’ll start with one of the tutorials elsewhere in the thread. Good info here all around. Much appreciated.
Chinese people only save to buy houses on debt with 5:1 leverage.

The difference is there investments are all leveraged, whereas Westerners have a larger share of investments that are in equities with no leverage.

It's easy to have a lot of "savings" when 100% of your investments on 5:1 leverage are appreciating at 7%+ per year for 2 decades.

It's also easier to get that much appreciation when it's all debt fueled and on leverage.
There are certain nutrients -- like B vitamins -- that people have a hard time getting enough of from plants. It's not hard to get enough protein. It is hard to get enough of some other things.

While a competent computer geek, I usually feel like an imbecile when I read financial stuff. But is this simplification true?

If a government can be expected to bail out "must not fail" companies, doesn't that basically amount to printing extra money, i.e. diluting the money supply?

If the money supply is diluted, that means inflation, which means the indebted hurt less, but those who have positive assets, the savers, hurt more. In the hyperinflation case, everything in the end is reset, everything is "paid off" but the economy also suffers a complete reset.

Oversimplification? This of course kills the savings of any "savers" like me, but if, in the picture this article paints, everyone is in debt anyway (to whom?) who loses?
Again, Facebook seems to be generally operating within the status quo. It is typical for companies to hide embarrassing internal studies. Are you able to point out a large telecommunications or tech company which hasn't shown similar behavior?
AKA "smartdust"

> The concepts for Smart Dust emerged from a workshop at RAND in 1992 and a series of DARPA ISAT studies in the mid-1990s due to the potential military applications of the technology.[2] The work was strongly influenced by work at UCLA and the University of Michigan during that period, as well as science fiction authors Stanislaw Lem (in novels The Invincible in 1964 and Peace on Earth in 1985), Neal Stephenson and Vernor Vinge. The first public presentation of the concept by that name was at the American Vacuum Society meeting in Anaheim in 1996.

I have always wondered if google can see the YouTube, Gmail passwords, not from the database,but you can see your own passwords in the browser in plain text and since all the apps are theirs, a keylogger would be impossible to detect.

Another thing is, do they have a back up of data from the Myaccount. Subdomain that users delete.

Still I trust google and amazon more than Microsoft and apple and Facebook. Just me personal view, I could be totally wrong. The ones I trust are simply more open about data storage and have less dark patterns and clandestine TCS.
But yes, wide spread Gmail usage will make google see many things and they will collect a lot of data. Probably even more delicate data than what Facebook gets to see.

Reddit shadowbanned my account sitewide. That's enough reason for me to never, ever view Reddit without an adblock.
The splintering into groups, the otherization of "not us", has existed for a very, very long time. Chimpanzees brutally murder other groups of chimps, females and children alike, and they have even been seen eating their enemies' corpses raw.

For Homo Sapiens with Neanderthals, we suspect they both inter-mingled, shared genetics via sex, as well as brutally attacked Neanderthals. Is it surprising that, along with mega-fauna and easily killed prey, Homo Sapiens seems to have killed many Neaderthal groups as well?

Is this that surprising, then, when Homo Sapiens attacks other groups of Homo Sapiens? When humans have seen those evil "others", it usually leads to violence and domination by one party. Look at colonization of the Americas, enslavement, genocide, justified by religion, profits, "self defense," manifest destiny -- any excuse will do if it's just "the others."

So, from a historical and biological lens, I'd say current echo chambers are not surprising, they're an extension or outgrowth from very ingrained biological reactions.
If you've never tried Advance Wars-style tactics, I suggest Wargroove, which has been my favorite tactics-game for the past couple of years.

Wargroove's AI is a bit dumb compared to Adv. War's Days of Ruin however. The game really shines as a competitive player-vs-player setting. But if you're not used to the mechanics of Adv. Wars, you probably need the easier AI to learn how quirks of Adv. Wars style / Wargroove style play.

Nintendo is remaking Advance Wars 1 and Advance Wars 2 ("Reboot Camp") for the Switch. I'll be revisiting these originals-remakes as they come out in a few months. I remember the CO-powers being incredibly overpowering (while Wargroove's special "grooves" are quite powerful as they are, they are no where on the level of CO-powers or CO-superpowers of the original).
