I don’t think you’re incorrect in making your point here, yet your framing is a bit unreasonable. Pine phone isn’t supposed to be the equivalent to a modern smartphone. It’s a small project that has an entirely new platform with no major corporate backing. What you’re asking of it isn’t realistic until it has significant enough time and traction to fully mature.
Every couple of a years Y Combinator CTOs do a survey of their MVP. Every single time Django on Heroku wins. If it's on the decline, I doubt it has fallen out of first place yet
Kinda but I'm guessing the face recognition only works for 90% of people so by making it compulsory gets everyone else.
I've got both a pinephone and a 1080p android phone. Compared to a laptop/desktop everything is already scaled to 2x or more, so while I can tell them apart I can't say I'm actually losing anything from the 720p display. The only exception I've found is content consumption, but if I care enough I've got plenty better, larger screens to use.
Yes & no. Maybe as a generalist SWE this is true. But if you’re applying for a more specialized position you might encounter limits in terms of how many of that role is needed.
You would probably need to pierce the cable with needles.
And one of the most common pieces of advice I've seen for desktop OpenBSD is to use -current . I don't on desktop because I haven't needed to, and wouldn't want to on a server though.
wow... yeah... strongly strongly agree. I love email, rss, irc, etc and still use them today and strongly disagree that we shouldn't educate people coming up about these tools.
We've actually done a study with a university in the US that has just been submitted to one of the main ADHD journals. It isn't double blind but it is a pre/post symptom and impairment study which is very encouraging. We hope to share a link once it is (hopefully) published.
Damn. I spent $3000+ dollars and went through 7 hours of testing.

I hope getting treatment was that easy for you as well.
Sorry, I tried.

CharmVerse: Redeemable NFTs for VCs, entrepreneurs, and more
I appreciate that Django is a good old full-stack server-side framework, and there's a lot to like about that. But I can't bring myself to start a new project with something that has the gross inefficiency of CPython (or, IIUC, stock Ruby), as discussed at, for example, [1] and [2]. I want a runtime environment that's efficient enough that I can deploy the web application on a couple of small VMs, still have plenty of headroom for load spikes (which, in my experience, are usually due to screwups on my part and not actual demand spikes), and delay thinking about scaling as long as possible.

It's not about maintaining the past, but we are _so bad_ in utilizing the existing infrastructure efficiently, that we are now trying to build a completly new one in the airspace above us.

Why not push what we have to the limits, gladly in innovative ways, instead of adding just another half-baked layer?

> Today we just want to faster Internet to consume American Services even faster.

Nah... I want faster internet so I can work from home in a rural area and don't have to spend a third of my income on rent, because I need to live close to my work because we don't have cheap and fast public transportation.
I live an hour away from Detroit and drove a friend into the city a couple of years ago to show her around. At some point she said something like "This city looks normal, like any other city. I can see living here." Then I drove her off of Woodward, one of the main thoroughfares that's been rebuilt and looks great. Within about two blocks going perpendicular to Woodward the scenery changed into what people think of Detroit. So you can have a conference and it will be just fine for those visiting. Just stay within the pretty area, which is coincidentally where the police patrol all the time.
If the government _really_ wanted to do something about the effects of the pandemic (now and beyond), they'd be promoting healthy lifestyle living, encouraging exercising, health education, etc.

They're not - and I'm not too sure how to feel about it.
I'd like this as a sort of toy phone to play and tinker with, but wouldn't use it as my daily driver. Always nice to have spare phones hanging around when you're bored to do casual surfing and maybe play a game or two.
I'd put in Microsoft in there. Their Windows (desktop OS) dominance needs to be reigned in and potentially spun off.
> you're required to get an ID card anyways

The US doesn't require citizens to have ID to exist. That's part of "freedom" in America (I mean this genuinely).

So it is an additional step if you want to vote. Cynical state governments have tried to shape who can vote for them by making IDs mandatory and strategically closing ID offices in certain areas, reducing office hours (among other barriers). It's not a hypothetical situation.
New data has a few fields which could change a lot within the first few hours but after that the data is more or less set and never changes.

1) Non-electric. Means higher emissions, operating costs, more complicated.

2) swashplate-based means more maintenance, low frequency sound that travels further.

3) Not commercially available. It’s for military use primarily.

When people (EDIT: i.e. normies) use drone in this context, they’re talking about multi rotor electric vehicles that have less maintenance (in principle) than conventional helicopters.
Another solution is to pay a penetration tester or an offensive security expert to audit your website. They’ll probably load up Kali and run SQLMAP and Nikto against it and do some custom penetration testing.
Suppose that I see red the way you see green. Then, when I see a stop sign or a fire extinguisher, I'm seeing the color that you would call "green". But of course, I have been told since birth that fire extinguishers, stop signs, etc. are red, so I would naturally call that color red. And in the same way, if I see green the way you see red, when I look at grass I would be perceiving the same color that you see when you look at a stop sign. But I would call it green, because everyone knows grass is green, what else would I call it?

There would be no disagreement between us about what objects are red, no way to tell that we see them differently, and no real-world consequences that would force to rewire any neurons, because our ways of perceiving the world would both be coherent and equally valid.

Cybersecurity Experts Criticize Apple CSAM in New Study
The paradox of tolerance isn’t as interesting when physical violence is involved, because you obviously fight violence back if possible (ie not tolerated).

The discussion is more interesting when one party’s feelings are so hurt by words (due to low self esteem, mental health issues, etc.) that there is a movement that starts not tolerating speech.

E.g. I have worked with teen mentoring and some of these people think it is physical abuse if you ask them to do chores (due to privileged upbringing).
The top-line claim in the linked fact-check is "Pfizer’s new pill to treat COVID-19 is just ivermectin repackaged".

The claim is explicitly countered by claims in the fact check: "They are dramatically different molecules. The drugs are different in their structure and their molecular size".

I have not fact-checked the fact check, but to suggest that the headline claim of "false" is misleading or inconsistent with the body of the article is simply wrong.

The comment about Ivermectin still being studied and not yet known to be effective is not relevant to the claim under review, but merely added to provide the reader with context.
I don’t own a car. I take public transportation everywhere. I recycle, compost, and consume very little electricity at home. Eating slightly more meat isn’t going to significantly change my environmental footprint.
From what I understand Facebook making it harder to create fake accounts and enforce real names is a more recent trend and old accounts fly under the radar (for now)
> If I may, can you please shed light on why Peloton had to be archived and in essence re-done with OtterTune. Interested in your team's learnings from it from a software engineering point of view.

Peloton and OtterTune are completely different projects. Peloton was abandoned and rewritten as NoisePage (https://noise.page). OtterTune has always been OtterTune.

See this recent interview where I discuss why we gave up on Peloton:

https://www.ibm.com/cloud/blog/database-deep-dives-with-andy...

> - How did the team ensure this project doesn't suffer from the same disadvantages as its predecessor?

Again, different projects. OtterTune is all about not having to modify the internals of Postgres, MySQL, and any other DBMS. This is why we were able to support Oracle in the academic version in a short amount of time:

https://ottertune.com/blog/vldb-autonomous-database-tuning-i...

> - What would you advise other teams undertaking a rewrite to pay off their tech debts?

It is hard for to provide general advice for this question because every situation is different.

> How does this project compare to / contrast with Google's and SingleStore's efforts in this space?

I am not familiar with Google or SingleStore using ML in the manner that we are with OtterTune to tune configuration knobs. Or at least I have not seen anything public about it.

These days Oracle is the most aggressive with pushing automated tuning capabilities (Oracle's autonomous DBaaS, AutoPilot for MySQL Heatwave). The difference with these approaches and OtterTune is that right now we are focused on configuration tuning (to avoid data privacy issues) and our core approach is platform/DBMS agnostic.

> Why are they afraid of this one? Smartphones are already implementing this feature as a way to unlock the screen.

Now not only your phone knows your location, you're also being filmed all the time with a tag attached and could be traced anywhere. This is extremely scary, especially that Kremlin persecutes its population into submission. Not only is the Kremlin regime anchored deeply (no possible fair elections), now this makes it even more impossible to have an alternative. Let's say you and a segment of the population wants a different leader. Let's say you as dissenters amount to even 70% of the population. Your voice won't matter as elections are highly rigged. Back in the day you could take out to the street to protest and if numbers are too great it sends a clear message. But this type of surveillance makes you think twice about it, you can go to an unauthorized protest (no authorization would be ever given for a dissenting protest) in the morning and be arrested in the evening.
I don't think our government cares about any of that. They've turned a blind eye to app-store extortion for the better part of a decade, and they've made it clear that persecuting a domestic company like that is the last thing they want to do: and of course it is. Our government has nothing to lose from Google, Facebook, Apple and Amazon leading the pack. If anything, it makes their job a whole lot easier with relation to surveillance and regulation.
ServiceWorkers also don't play nice with CORS in my experience. We often need to bypass them in Angular when making certain requests.
This man did exactly what he was paid by Boeing to do. It would be great if he could speak publicly about who pressured him to make these decisions.
Apple should be broken up. But how? Maybe the AppStore needs to be independent?
That’s not how the logic is deployed though. The systemic injustices must be taken into account. Tuskegee would be applicable here.

Yep.

2012: "The secretive government agency that flies spy satellites has made a stunning gift to NASA: two exquisite telescopes as big and powerful as the Hubble Space Telescope. They’ve never left the ground and are in storage in Rochester, N.Y."

I've been following it for seven years now. Why would someone do that when every other cryptocurrency can just have way more throughput? Outside of the propaganda bubble of /r/bitcoin anyone who takes a practical look at it thinks it is ridiculous.

None of the math about having 700KB once every 3600 seconds works out. Any cryptocurrency that is actually going to be used needs way more throughput. No one would think this is a problem if the people that are trying to sell you a second layer weren't constantly curating /r/bitcoin to ban anyone who questions why throughput wouldn't be increased first.

The only way any "second layer" nonsense works is if you can stop people from questioning why it is needed in the first place.
> Getting rid of guns is not going to solve violent people.

I do not understand this "the proposed solution is either a panacea of don't bother" attitude to major problems in society. The whole point of guns is to make it extremely easy and simple to apply lethal force instantly from a distance onto multiple targets and without any chance of defense. Don't you think that taking that away from practically all attackers improves everyone's chances of surviving an attack?
Yes, it's the lack of investment and profit potential on PCVR. It also may interest the Oculus founders who want the highest quality experience, but it does not fall in line with Zuck's vision which is a cheap and good enough social VR machine.

Thanks for the correction and for the link!

Unfortunately I'm still keeping my worry alive. The reality is that we still can't move fully even to wasm, as ~6% of our players have incompatible browser and we have to support asm.js fallback.

My worry is that we end up with fallback cascade:
- full featured wasm
- wasm
- asm.js

I'm aware that's the reality of technology under development - and most likely we will just find a solution for that (like secondary build (or link if it's just link time)).

It's just too bad we can't easy polyfill new features in old browsers for wasm.

Still love WASM <3
I think the font does not need to be same across different sites if they are giving different value/objectives.
But TikTok is already absolutely enormous and would sweep up everything in the same way fb does. Breaking up Facebook also does nothing to change misinformation spread through Twitter and YouTube. The natural breakup points for Facebook also leave Facebook and Instagram in tact.

I was required to get a DTaP vaccine in college (in another state, mind you) because I couldn't prove that I had gotten one as an adolescent. I had gotten one, but I'd lost the record.

You can persist data on the client with IndexedDB and make a SPA with zero load times no matter what page you’re loading. That would never be possible with a MPA. It’s also almost never something that actually happens with SPAs but it certainly is possible.

Montreal has even more brutal cold, yet has a bustling downtown worth walking around -- because it was designed for people.

Another anecdote to refute your point: LA has the best weather in the world, but a completely dead downtown that most people avoid.
You get a speed boost the closer you are to the equator and if you want an equatorial orbit you have to spend fuel in orbit to correct down to zero degrees.

It is way cheaper to correct these things on the planet than with bigger rockets.
Really depends how you define the task doesn't it? If it's "I have the ability to message other people" there's plenty of ways to accomplish that on this device. If you define the task as "I need to message other people specifically on a Google/Apple messenger application", well then it's always going to be out of Pine64s hands to some extent?
Whoever you've just sprayed is not going to be incapacitated to the point of no longer being a threat if that is what they want to continue doing. They may very well decide that their best option is to try and prevent you from calling 911 rather than retreat.

Bear spray is also a really crappy choice indoors. Good luck finding your phone and calling 911 in a sufficiently timely manner after that.

The only thing you can do to protect yourself is get vaccinated.

That's the only thing you can control - encouraging governments and employers to force rushed medical treatments upon their citizens, through threats and acts of violence will only further vaccine hesitancy or put a damper on vaccine uptake.

Covid will be around forever and there's nothing anybody can do about it.
Most people seem to think that medication for ADHD is great, but for my son, the side effects were unacceptable: nausea, vomiting, extreme irritability. If therapy is even an option, none of the medical professionals we’ve spoken to has offered it. Maybe it’s because he’s on the young side (7). Anyway, it’s frustrating that everyone sees medication as the answer when the side effects are so awful—but maybe our experience is outside the norm.
Of course we can be all conscious but with different qualia. But the thing is that if consciousness was merely a physical phenomenon, we should be able to determine qualia purely by looking at the physical system, just as we determine any other property. However, we could be in a situation where we have understood our behaviors down to particle level, and I would still have no idea how you perceive colors.
Correct. We could add support but most of our requests have been for MySQL and Postgres. Hit us up if you really want MariaDB: https://ottertune.com/contact
if SPAs are bad, compiled JS are evil. They only seem to hijack the scrollbar or give cookie consent or waste 2/3 of viewport with a fucking subscribe/login cover.

Every page should promise some kind of plain text content length vs full page resource bytes ratio. Why would anyone emit 20MB of .min.js only to deliver 140 characters of tweet?
Sure. It's just that the rest of the time people without ADHD can sit still for longer than ten minutes and don't uncontrollably interrupt people while talking.
As someone with ADHD, I can attest that none of us are reading this wall of text. Know your audience.

Could you expand on that? It sounds like an interesting position (bordering on the philosophical), but I don't know enough about Kubernetes to gauge its accuracy for myself.
What I was getting at is, you need an ID card to do many things in America, mostly related to private business and civil services. You need one to open a bank account, doctors offices scan your ID card, you need one to pick up certain prescriptions, etc.. The idea that getting an ID to vote is some onerous burden doesn't hold up when you realize people pretty much need an ID during the other 729 days between election days in a two year cycle.

I think a Federal ID would be better for record-keeping, but even without one, people really should have to provide a robust identity verification document to vote. If someone just needs to show up and say "I am so-and-so" and doesn't need to provide anything but a signature, that doesn't seem secure at all.

I don't understand what you're trying to point out. That groups of things can have behaviors that lone individuals don't exhibit? Yes, that is true, whether at the atomic level or the cellular level or the family level or the population level or the species level or the ecosystem level... it's very fascinating, to be sure, but in what way does that prove or disprove any sort of god? It's just the same Watchmaker argument, i.e. that complexity requires a maker, which it arguably does not. Complex behaviors, even flock behaviors, can evolve from the sum of its constituent parts. A pinball machine with eight balls in play will react very different from one with a single ball or no balls, but nobody accuses the pinball machine of being sentient (or if they did, I'd really like to play that machine).
