I mean the "fixed" top bar that usually shows the time and battery status, et c., gets bumped down for a second one that just prints the date, on the far left of the screen. This is on the settings screen, captured on the right side of the top graphic on the page.

It's a weird choice for a bunch of reasons—why go to extra effort to print the date on the settings screen, of all places, but not in any kind of a "you can edit this here" context, but only an informational one? Why not find a way to put it on the existing top bar? (it looks like there's room, even with the notch) Why break a "this bar is fixed at the top and doesn't have anything 'above' it in the view hierarchy—all it might do is disappear, not be pushed down" norm for such a minor thing? If you're going to that effort, why only use like 1/4 of the width (even accounting for the notch) that you're claiming, and not display more stuff there? Why not just print that under the existing bar, if you've decided it needs to appear on this screen?

It looks like a mistake, as is. Like some kind of temporary dev UI element that got left in by accident.
Seems to work OK for me. I will point out that it is very "coarse" and only has 4 possible settings. Perhaps not the best choice for a slider, but perhaps they made that UI choice just to match the other sliders?
“ Sadly, most people wait too long before trying a hearing aid, and give up because they hear too much noise.”

Are you suggesting that getting hearing aids preserves your hearing or simply that people with advanced hearing loss benefit less from them?
It would be nice if perma-locked bootloaders were illegal.
These aren't an issue with renewables if you live in a relatively rich area.

If you live in Ghana, your perspective might be significantly different.

We don't have a plan for handling this solar waste in 25 years, which is estimated to be 78M metric tons in 2050. [1]

This doesn't need to be an either-or scenario, but we can't ignore the waste and environmental cost of solar in these discussions.

Perhaps it is because most of those people expected the hearing aid to work for them, and did not want to do any of the work they needed to do themselves.

Imagine not reading for 10 years because of bad eyesight, eye glasses do not make it so your brain can read, but instead makes it easier for your brain to see the symbols.
your brain still needs to decode and comprehend them.

Our hearing system is far more complicated.
You can look in the direction you want to see....but you hear all around you, even through walls.

You cannot stop hearing, even in your sleep. It is far more crucial to our environmental awareness than more people realize.
Right, I was only talking about that 1 part. (Wasn't suggesting there's no use for optometrists!)
Exactly - hearing is much more complicated than just noise sensitivity. For example, a somewhat underdiagnosed problems is issue with the frequency bins that the brain segments sound into for recognition deteriorating. Symptoms are - can hear just fine in a nice, uncluttered audio environment, say a test centre, but has issues if there is any significant background noise.

Well at first IT people complained because boomers wouldn't learn how to use computers. Now they (sorta)did and they want one letter per screen. Since they still control the majority of the market share that is what we will get by default.

Understood. We all do what we're comfortable with.

> an incredibly niche problem for an even smaller niche market

These are my favorite because no one "big" wants to get into them. I make a device that converts signals from heavy machinery that uses a specific type of almost-obsolete sensor to let it use a modern control that you can buy off the shelf. A friend of mine used to have a nice side business (was full time for a while) selling a replacement timer for a specific type of industrial printer.

I like markets like that. The biggest problem I'd see in your case is that it's a consumer item, not industrial. Most customers just don't want to spend a whole lot unless they have to.
Next do CPAP, please!
Those machines cost money and require some amount of training to use. Having them in an office that specializes in using them makes sense. Having your GP have every type of machine for every types of checkup (eyes, ears, CAT, MRI, etc... all things that _could_ be at the GP, but aren't) would not be cost efficient.
Unfortunately a lot of these jobs aren’t exactly jobs that you can train someone from 0. These are jobs that require advanced education and the ability to be able to grasp certain concepts. They can’t just train anyone, but they can train university students in certain majors, which tbh they already do. All of these companies hire a TON of fresh grads, which is exactly what you’re saying, training someone to do the job. Why wouldn’t they? It’s cheaper to hire a university grad in the USA than get an experienced professional from abroad.

However, if you look closely, even that pipeline is kind of skewed. Very few Americans pursue advanced degrees, and even when they do, they concentrate towards business or some other non stem course. My Phd cohort consisted of 12 people out of which 7 were non citizens.
Right, providing a cheap mosquito bed is a little easier to go mass production with than being able to use drones as an emergency recovery vehicle. The latter requires the right motivation and the right (hopeless) risk profile. The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation also absolutely does a lot of advertising and interviews which are aimed at winning hearts and minds about their work.
This is me. 28, had mild hearing loss for about 3 years now in one ear due to a bad ear infection. I can get by fine, however I'm definitely missing out on a lot of "richness" of sound. I can't hear high pitched noises, or subtle differences between noises in my left ear at all. And everything in general is a little muted. Since I can hear perfectly find out of my right ear I'm not convinced spending thousands of dollars is worth it.

I would spend $10,000+ if my tinnitus could be cured permanently though.
It's trivially easy to reframe the hammer as a framework; just take the point of view that what you're bringing to the table is the nail and the two pieces of wood (or other kinds of parts on which some type of hammer might be used).

These pieces of yours are "called on" by the "hammering framework".

This would all be easier if we had a metaphor-factory-generating factory.
I owned Scrivener on my old 2011 iMac. I loved it, and it did everything it said, but I got bogged down in the OCD of organizing, so I tried minimalist editors like Ulysses[1] and WriteMonkey[2]. Even timeline, video-editing-esque editor like Causality[3]. I had used Celtx[4] many moons ago with a subscription to collaborate with others. All have their strengths and they are all good depending on what it is you're writing. I have settled on just using OneNote for work, writing, scratchpad, and list making, or collecting information. I think it was ahead of its time since 2003 and now. It is quick, intuitive, and you can minimize it to the workspace, and you can search throughout it. I would like a DB interface of some sort... Sometimes plain markdown and a simple text editor stored in a database is probably good enough for most projects not involving mixed media. OneNote does it all.

Pointed out in a grandchild comment, but it's basically happening now. Phones will limit noise exposure from headphones, based on NOIA and similar standards.
I spent more time than I'd like to admit trying to find the perfect off-brand usb-c dongle that would work with my switch (so I can plug it in to TVs when I travel, without needing to bring the whole dock). I am about 80% confident that the dongle that I eventually got wont brick my Switch, as long as I remember to plug in the power first and then the Switch (or was it the other way around)?

Oh yeah, and also, unrelated to the above, I now inspect the tiny grey-on-black voltage information whenever I'm about to plug in a USB-C cable for providing power.

Oh yeah, and also, each USB-C cable has its own special purpose, since they aren't actually interchangeable, as it turns out.

USB-C somehow managed to find the worst intersection of "Universally pluggable" without being a universal standard.
Samsung phones have a feature that tests your hearing at different frequencies, creates a personalized EQ profile, and applies it to your earbuds: https://www.samsung.com/au/support/mobile-devices/customise-...
Which would justify Apple using on-device scanning more if iCloud is end-to-end encrypted, except that it isn't. Apple has the technical capability to decrypt photos stored on iCloud, so why risk the slippery slope and governments applying pressure to expand local scanning to more than just what is going to be uploaded.
> The US requires one to see a “doctor of optometry” to get a basic single vision prescription.

You can take virtual eye exams, which are reviewed by doctors to issue a prescription.

The real issue isn't the basic care of glasses, instead it's the screening of your eye health.

When you go to Urgent Care, say for a laceration, they do a quick work up, including taking your temp, blood pressure, blood o2, weight and height.

Having your eyes checked out in person with a comprehensive eye exam annually is a good habit. And tying it renewing an Rx for Contacts / Glasses just makes it easier to do.
TLS doesn't require HTTP.
ClojureScript is in a weird boat because of a constant background tension in goals of the Clojure community, where on the one hand Clojure proclaims that it is a "hosted language" and as such there shouldn't be an expectation of consistent semantics across different hosts, but on the other hand devs really like consistent semantics if the language doesn't change. So the Clojure community has kind of settled on cljc files as an indication of "works on all hosts in the way you would expect" even though that's not any part of the guarantee that a cljc file provides in any documentation anywhere (it gives you reader conditionals and that's it). Basically ClojureScript isn't really sure whether those "caveats" are bugs or features and neither is the Clojure community at large.

More broadly they aren't sure whether causing "libraries and in-house code alike to break in weird ways" on different hosts is a bad thing (some folks would probably take issue with the word "break").

On the whole however these projects can go very well. I've seen e.g. ScalaJS and Scala backend projects work very well. They're a lot less leaky than you would think. The vast majority of code just works. In particular, there are clean lines between what is supported by the abstraction and what isn't, and the latter doesn't affect the former, so in that sense the abstraction is pretty tight and not leaky. And the major win isn't so much the familiar language part as it is the ability to share code and definitions. It's really powerful to change a line somewhere deep in your backend and have all the places you need to make a change all the way out to the frontend UI automatically laid out for you.

That said the big misconception, and where the abstraction is incomplete if not leaky, is that these languages allow you to disregard the runtimes of secondary targets. No compile-to-JS language I know of has successfully done away with the need to understand the HTML/CSS/Javascript stack. And that indeed is extra complexity that should give pause to developers.

But RE "cause libraries and in-house code alike to break in weird ways" generally does not seem to be the case for these compile-to-JS languages.

Again, I think you're picking this feature out incorrectly.

Any random one, just as it's possible to flip a coin and get heads a few times in a row.
And you are CERTAIN that the iphone could not

a) conduct a hearing test

b) do a hearing based EQ on incoming sound?

c) do sound profiles (ie, optimize for speech?)

Realize that calling already may use some of this - using microphones to pick out speech from background noise etc.

For folks who have hearing issues you could have one device that would cover your movie watching, your phone calls, and hearing enhancement. For $180.
Worked for me too. Had my PD measured afterwards and device value was same as mirror method.
yes but most of the math-based approaches to ML start from real (multivariate) analysis, or from probability theory. i haven't heard anyone claim that Peano axioms are important. as much as I will defend the notion that applied mathematics is extremely important for ML research, peano axioms are unnecessary and will just cause confusion
Hearing aids allow you - rather enable you - to listen again.
Without them your understanding and comprehension gets lazy.

Imagine if you stopped playing basketball because of a bad knee.

Then years later you get a knee brace and are able to play again.

How long, and how much practice would you need before you could play at the level you were at before the knee problem?

And without properly fixing the problem (just using a mobility aid) could you ever return to pre-knee problem levels?
Exactly. I want absolutely zero gray areas when I'm on a highway in the middle of Indiana at night and cross paths with at least a few hundred semi trucks. The less gray the better.
One mechanism is to design the tax to be revenue-neutral for the average taxpayer.

For example, with carbon taxes on gasoline, we can calculate what the average person consumes in terms of gasoline per year, and then calculate the outliers (people with super-efficient cars and people with gas guzzlers). Then, we establish some reasonable maximum that we think we can get away with surcharging the guzzlers, and establish a gradient. The average person is given back a tax break that corresponds to the surcharge they'll pay at the pump, so it's a wash for them; the guzzler gets the tax break too but ends up paying more, incentivizing everyone to be the efficient driver who basically gets a bonus.

I think you could do the same for any kind of tax; establish the baseline for resource consumption efficiency for a particular recyclable commodity (and it will have to be per-commodity to make any sense at all); set up the incentive gradient so that companies producing more-recyclable-than-average goods end up getting free cash for doing so, hopefully offsetting the other costs associated with this, and companies producing things that are harder or impossible to recycle end up paying more.

The end result is that the product for the consumer that is more recyclable should end up making more financial sense. Instead of pinning the gradient the way you do for gas (literally, 'what they can get away with and still get elected'), you'd pin it at a level where it incentivizes companies themselves to be purchasing recycled materials instead of new ones.

All of the above is predicated on the material in question being able to be recycled without requiring more energy input / producing a higher carbon footprint to recycle than acquiring the original raw product is. There are some materials that it's just not worth to recycle, most of the time; plastic is definitely on that side for now, like it or not.
Being snarky, I'd say you won't look back if you did migrate. Again, you could just place CUE next to Yaml to validate it.

You can always write the yaml version to disk from CUE. CUE will also read and import your Yaml so that you don't have to rewrite it by hand. It would certainly be harder to migrate away from something like Starlark or Pulumi where config is wrapped in code. 3rd party tooling is much harder to write under that paradigm.

Marcel, the creator of CUE, wrote the prototype that became Borg and eventually Kubernetes. He was also on the teams that wrote the config languages for these systems. Your use case has been central to CUE's design.
Improperly tuned, they will damage your hearing - a permanent effect.

I had some trauma induced hearing loss recently and cannot hear certain frequencies at all with my left ear. When I stand outside next to the (small) waterfall with it on my left size, I can hear "part" of it from my left ear... and the other part as if it was coming from the woods on the right side. It passes right by my left ear w/o me hearing it, bounces off the woods, and comes back to me. It sounds like there's 2 different waterfalls, one on each side of me.
But what kind of value does a "day counting" app add that would warrant an annualized price of $48?

I’m not saying mindlessly accept a shitty deal. I’m saying that wishful thinking such as “it shouldn’t be this way and I’m going to pretend it isn’t” is not very helpful.

If you can turn such thinking into a useful action that leads toward the outcome you want or a general improvement, then that is great. But that isn’t always easy to do.

Sometimes you have to deal with bullshit because the result is worth it. Or choose another path entirely, realizing the trade off you are making.
