As I said, bootloader unlocking is not supported on any modern US Samsung phone with a Snapdragon SoC. [1] It is at least """nice""" that they allow unlocking the international models though. (Perhaps the EU legally requires this?)

> LG

The site you linked says this:

> we offer a method to unlock the bootloader on some of our devices

Looking at the list, we see that many LG phones are excluded for some reason. Also, LG doesn't sell phones anymore. [3]

> Lenovo/Motorola

That's nice, but unlocking the bootloader requires visiting this website, entering your serial number, and voiding your warranty, which means most people won't do it. Unlocking your Pixel phone's bootloader does not void the warranty, and all you have to do is enable "OEM unlocking" in developer options, rather than visit some website that tries its hardest to convince you that bootloader unlocking is scary and you shouldn't do it.

(Spoiler alert: no, the US model S10 is not unlockable. [2])

Programming work is emotional, and the technical interviews that may get you there even more so.
Just one more reason I don't take the "engineering" part of "software engineering" seriously. Hardly surprising given the admiration of tinkering and hacking that runs through the industry.
Lol Berkeley is a suburb? It contains 120k people in only 10 square miles. It is twice as densely settled as San Jose.
And US local governments, especially west coast metros, have largely chosen to make housing appreciate by constraining supply -- at the will of their voters (landowners are a vocal and high-voting group).
It's much more believable that they are developing with Chromium in mind, and testing primarily on it.

I've seen many webapps that are completely unrelated to Google, that are more performant on Chromium browsers, just because most developers are using them for development. It's also easier to justify spending time fixing bugs/improving performance if it affects the majority of users, instead of spending effort for 4% of users.
Wow, really well done. Thanks for that.
True, if you're into medieval history.

I don't think the Church has any hope to regain the power they once had.

These days my biggest fears are communist regimes (like China) and Islam spreading in Europe (we already have some courts partially applying Sharia laws in the UK).
Local NIMBYs and landlords love constrained supply. They leverage zoning codes, claims about aesthetics, parking and traffic concerns, and worst of all affordability percentages to constrain local supply so that their home values and rental incomes will rise. This happens with so much political strategem that the only obvious thing about it is how vested and deliberate it is.
> Is terraform generally used to deploy workloads to nomad instead of writing tasks directly?

It can be, although it has some weird shortcomings. For example, if the job is already present in Nomad but not running ("dead"), I don't think you can use the terraform provider to start it again.

HashiCorp themselves suggest using terraform to provision the base nomad system (ACL, quotas, base system jobs), but perhaps not your actual applications:

> This can be used to initialize your cluster with system jobs, common services, and more. In day to day Nomad use it is common for developers to submit jobs to Nomad directly, such as for general app deployment. In addition to these apps, a Nomad cluster often runs core system services that are ideally setup during infrastructure creation. This resource is ideal for the latter type of job, but can be used to manage any job within Nomad.

https://registry.terraform.io/providers/hashicorp/nomad/late...

In my work helping companies with nomad, I've seen jobs run a few different ways:

* Write and submit HCL jobs directly to nomad

* Terraform templating and the nomad provider (as above)

* https://github.com/hashicorp/levant

* A DIY templating thing (e.g. python and jinja2 templates)

* A webapp that submits jobs as JSON directly to the nomad API, perhaps modifying it to match certain policies (kind of like k8s validating / mutating admission webhooks)

There's also a new thing similar to Helm: https://github.com/hashicorp/nomad-pack
You could increase density, though, if local zoning did not forbid it.

>only the wealthy can afford to study the arts and be productive as an artist.

"study", "afford", and "productive" to me sound vague and subjective. One needs only sources of knowledge (even if its simply experimentation), willpower, food, and water, in order to download knowledge into their brain (and then to apply that knowledge by building small projects to demonstrate skills to future employers).

Nor does a person need to be independently wealthy to take time off. I was in debt $3000 on a credit card by the time I arrived in Juneau, Alaska and within two weeks started working at $13/hr at a fish smokehouse, while camping on a nearby mountainside. And I had a janky 2003 toyota corolla (trip was in 2015).

From where in your mind do you generate these fearful presuppositions? Success is determined by many factors, but they include Strategy, Willpower, Resourcefulness, Willingness to fail. And sure, you can throw preexisting wealth into there and weight it however you want, in a predictive equation. But ultimately that is taking the accountability away from the individual and presenting a false dichotomy ("a premise that erroneously limits what options are available.") [1].

There's no rulebook that says "You have to be wealthy to study art" or "You have to pay money to study art" or "You can't take time off to study <thing>."

You definitely can. You can live in a tent, you can use your company's lunchroom for breakfast and lunch, and cook dinner on your camping stove. You can find public bathroom facilities. All of this can be done. Is it inconvenient? Does it require sacrifice? Hence one should do so strategically, and only for goals with high ROI (such as investing in yourself by building skills that are in high demand).

____________

Heck, Wealth and Art is a conversation all its own. The value of artists and art is different in different cultures. And the utility of art, in most cases, is very low. Hence it is a "luxury pursuit" that even primitive tribes engaged in back in prehistory-- when they had the "luxury" of some ... "time off" :)

Lastly, just using basic reasoning, I ask you this: Has Art not existed before wealth? Are art and poverty mutually exclusive? I think your argument is lacking, in addressing these two questions, especially given the amount of artists (especially in music) who arise from impoverished conditions.

I would also encourage you to do some research on artists from unconvential backgrounds. Such as former boxer and world-renowned architect Tadao Ando. Do a quick online search for "Famous Artists Who Were Self-Taught" to find many more.

> If your concern is specifically the ACLU's disagreement with recent Supreme Courts on the intended scope of Second Amendment rights, the EFF isn't going to address that either since it's out of scope for their mission. But that's in no way relevant to what Signal had to deal with here, an area in which I think ACLU and EFF are pretty well aligned.

The comments about the ACLU probably aren't about the second amendment. That's never been the ACLU's thing. It's probably about the recent backing away from the 1st amendment which has historically been the ACLU's domain.

Roblox has been around for 16 years. I would be shocked to learn that 16 years ago they planned the architecture of their system so meticulously as to account for dependencies and problems you describe for the long term future. Odds are some novice programmer or a few of them hacked something together and as the platform grew they just kept adding to the poor hacking.

It might take a huge investment to correct it now. But perhaps an outage like this will prove to them that it's necessary.

I don’t think it’s necessarily the case, but I’m a little worried that a UBI utopia would end up being some sort of Judge Dredd hellscape

I’ve taken long stretches off work and done all sorts of amazing, productive stuff during that time. I have friends whom I really respect completely fall apart when nobody’s ordering them around every day though.. they stop going outside, the lack of exercise and sunlight sends their meat suits into “depression mode”, and it’s a quick downward spiral

I’m hoping that having a whole society oriented around it would result in a more positive outcome
It’s less per bale (a volume measure), more per ton, meaning it’s probably just less dense in bale form.
DAFs and GRATs are completely different vehicles. DAFs are beneficially owned by some 501(c)(3) and withdrawals can only go to arms-length, 3rd party 501(c)(3)s, with no reciprocity attached to the gift.

DAFs are a convenient way to gift appreciated stock (which is already a nice tax gift to the charitable wealthy), but fundamentally not a vehicle for passing money to your heirs.

Your article is about GRATs, which should be illegal.

> Billions and billions spent on making movies as polished as possible, yet "I thought the book was better" is what we always hear.

The reason: the movie is often the worse copy of the book. Very often, movies get made of successful and often well-written books. So, the movie has a high hurdle to overcome to be even better than the book.

(if movies were made of "average" books, this would likely be different, but this typically makes no commercial sense)

On the other hand, literary offsprings (books based on and book spin-offs) are created from movie. These are, by the same reason, also typically worse than the movie.
Also various laws and regulations: van life is incompatible with many cities and is incompatible with schooling for children, possibly even child welfare laws. Zoning restrictions mean tiny houses can’t be built in many places.

Much of that is not unreasonable — e.g. I went to a high school which had a lot of children of migrant farm workers who were definitely held back by their parents’ need to migrate up and down California following the harvest. Stability has merit.

What I would focus on are the zoning laws forcing single-family houses, lawns, vast amounts of parking, etc. since those increase the cost of housing significantly and reduce supply. There are many owners who would consider subdividing housing, tiny houses/granny flats/basement apartments/etc. but can’t because that is banned outright or requires things like street access and subsidized parking which aren’t compatible with the available space.

Unfortunately, in the United States this also inevitably involves class and racism — the laws against density, people camping or living in vehicles, etc. usually trace back to fears of poor, often brown, people living outside of “their” neighborhoods and especially outnumbering the current residents. That sentiment is long-lived and hard to shake, no matter the professed politics of a community.

I wasn’t familiar with this company and find their name funny.

First, it uses the Mac command vs the windows control. That’s funny to go with the smaller market share for your name.

I didn’t know what this command does so I checked and it ejects on Mac. Not used nowadays so can be overloaded.

That being said, I like the idea of local search and really miss Google desktop. I find both windows and Mac search slow and inaccurate and would like to see proper search integrated into the OS. Proper in that it finds what I’m looking for- a super grep- and that it doesn’t eat my cpu (windows stupid indexing service frequently chews along at 100% on a cpu even though nothing has changed).

This is a good fit for Dropbox as at least they can index everything in the cloud and apply that index to searching on my local machine.

I still use command+space to open all apps and common docs.

I live in a townhome built in the 80s with crazy good noise isolaton, i assume it's easier with a townhome because they just run a thick firewall between units.

> Relief. When I solved a problem I had been struggling with for a long time.

I like to call this an 'Aha! Moment'. They happen rarely enough though, so the dopamine hit is not enough to really enjoy programming.

Also: programming for me needs ergonomics and accessibility. My setup is really opinionated and catered to me only. Others can't so easily jump into my setup and start coding away. They'd feel really uncomfortable in my chair and have to understand all the keyboard shortcuts I have burned into memory, as-well as a bunch of macros.
To be clear, this is exactly the same for any gift of appreciated stock -- a DAF is not required to donate appreciated stock in-kind and deduct the full (unrealized) price without paying capital gains. But the vast majority of charities are not equipped to accept in-kind stock donations, which a DAF facilitates by taking stock in-kind and cutting the charity a check.

(Also, DAFs allow claiming the deduction during high-income years and deferring distribution to charities over a longer period of time.)

Sounds like cope to me.

>... a vehicle that has shown generational abilities to generate growth and returns and beat deflationary effects ...

The stock market? "Appears to show" - FIFY. I'm reminded of the periodic 401(k) presentations at our company before I retired; the pitchperson would always put up the same, tired, old, vague graph of the stock market rising at a 45-degree angle from the Great Depression to the present time. But that's not really true, is it? Indexes like the DJIA are mathematical models that get reformulated periodically and the suite of companies included in an index also changes over time. I believe this is called cherry-picking the data.

Actual investors in individual stocks or mutual funds have no guarantee of generational growth, of course. In NYT's Justin Fox's book about the stock market, IIRC, he said that equity mutual funds had an annual average growth rate a little above 2% between 1984 and the early 2000s, while the S&P 500's annual growth rate averaged about 12%. (Dates and growth rates are approximate as I don't have the book at hand). 401(k)ers didn't exactly make out like bandits.
I hear you. For months I had my Oculus sitting in the corner of the room gathering dust. Unlike a phone, it's not pinging notifications at you all day so it's easy to forget about.

But you know that saying "come for the tool, stay for the network"?

Right now, we are super early in the adoption phase. You can tell by looking at what fraction of your Facebook network are on Oculus (in my case it's about 2%). That's why most of us are playing solo games which feel a bit like mere novelties.

But now that all of my work colleagues have one, I'm using it heaps. The value of VR grows the more your buddies have access to it.
> Hence me saying, if people didn't have to pay rent, what would they do with their time ?

We already know. Look at housewives, people on disability, young people still living at home with their parents, and retirees. Arguably college students, too.

It is not the case that all (or most) people who don't have to pay rent suddenly spend significant amounts of their time volunteering. They pursue what they desire or find meaningful, just like everyone else. And it's not clear it's a better outcome than those who pay rent (or a mortgage).
> If you think about it, there couldn't be a controversy if one of the options was clearly and demonstrably better than the other.

Not that I disagree, but lots of people would argue otherwise, especially in politics.

Haha, dude. I hate Facebook too, but you’re kidding yourself if anyone there thinks they’re evil.

I've never been to Prague or Czechia for that matter, though that's been on my list for many years now. Every time I start planning a trip, something happens and I have to cancel it. So my current thoughts are based on what I've seen in videos and photos, while my experience with the brutalism comes from the country where I've spent most of my life - Bulgaria. For a million and one reasons, I find brutalism absolutely repugnant. Each time I see a brutalist building(even in a picture) I can feel the smell of moist plywood and depressing stained brown carpets glued to the concrete underneath - I just can't help it. However I find a lot of charm in the buildings from the article, while I can't find any in those I've seen all my life on daily basis. I really can't say why though.
I also agree with you. My specialties are machine learning and knowledge graphs, very different than what Justine works on, yet I find digging into her posts fascinating.
Yes. Thank you for putting this so succintly. I've been looking for the words to describe it.
The Facebook presentation struck me as a vision that’s about 20-30 years out of date, just with “better” graphics.

There didn’t seem to be anything new in there and it feels detached from any reality - even a reality in which we might find ourselves in 10-20 years.

I’m generally bullish on VR/AR in the long term. But this is not it.

What also frustrates me with these types of presentations is how misleading they are about the current and near-future state of technology. Much of the general public will be totally misled by what was “demonstrated” here. Particularly once it’s been processed through the bullshit-adding filters of various news outlets who will further degrade the signal to the point where it’s almost entirely noise.

Normal people can’t easily distinguish between utterly fabricated pre-rendered nonsense which has a very low chance of coming into reality in their lifetime, and what’s actually realistically possible in the near-term future (5-10 years).

Microsoft did this with their Hololens presentation years ago. You look at the visuals being presented and you may as well be watching an episode of Star Trek. (But even that was anchored more to reality than this).

Having said that, the scripted dialogue, forced hand gestures and weird facial expressions throughout did get me wondering whether they are actually further forward than we thought, and the entire thing was presented not by humans but by a rough draft of some AI-driven avatars, which look almost real but where they haven’t sufficiently nailed the “acts like a convincing human” feature just yet.
