I've used both Android and iOS pretty extensively over the years. I'm currently on iOS, but just picked up a Pixel 4a for app testing. It's a fine device for $350.

IMO, phones have mostly been commoditized. Not necessarily in pricing (see flagships), but in features. They run the same few apps people want to run and work fine. Where iOS I think shines is in the total ecosystem. AirPods and Apple Watch integration comes to mind, though some Android specific alternatives are out now. Then there's iOS and macOS integration. Things like copy and paste between devices just works as expected.

I'm not going to argue about Apple and absolute privacy, but if you look at relative privacy between Apple and Google, Apple also comes out ahead.

But for most, for just a phone, at the end of the day it doesn't really matter.
Thanks for sharing.
In general, what is the optimum number of links that are needed to understand a topic? I find anything with more than 10 links about the topic a bit overwhelming.
Can we have a distilled list of such lists?
There is also Marginalia https://search.marginalia.nu/ which I don't see on your list.
Factories ship in bulk. Returns ship, typically, as singletons.

The cost to put one extra box into a shipping container containing thousands of identical units, the pick up of which is scheduled months in advance (so utilization of the overall cargo ship is near ideal), is negligible. Similarly, the cost to break down the incoming shipment, warehouse it and check it in is small, because the factory ensures the correct bar codes are on the outside of the boxes. The worker checking them in is completely stateless - scan a barcode, stick the box in the rack with a light, move on, thus the worker is not specialized and cheaper. From there individual orders are scheduled and collated overnight into trucks that carry hundreds of boxes to individual cities, which are then broken down into the last mile courier.

Now, to arrange the reverse logistics within a bounded amount of time (less than two weeks, say), you are likely to have to send an empty truck to the end address; if you're lucky the route has other packages, but you can't count on it. The reverse logistics sender may not be there when the pick up arrives, so you either have to arrange multiple pickup or risk leaving the item unguarded. Then the box arrives at the local warehouse, with no specific routing information to where the rest of the inventory is, so you have a specialist inspect the box and also make sure there isn't fraud going on - eg people ordering phones and returning similarly weighted bricks. Then if you want that box to make it all the way back to the overseas factory where it was produced, you're probably booking it on an airplane, and not a cargo ship.

20x is actually on the low end. A wall wart power supply might run an incremental cost of about $1 to ship from Shenzhen to your door. Sending that same thing back to the factory by FedEx - a process that takes about a week with customs and pick up delays - probably north of $50 for the 'rack rate' retail shipper.
FWIW, I much prefer those to some of the author's linked READMEs. :)
Same applies to any platform.

Using languages that don't come with the platform SDK, or aren't used to build the underlying platform, always add development costs with additional FFI, debugging tools, binding libraries,....
Assuming that vector instructions are available, shouldn't it be much faster to actually compare the buffer contents against a vector register initialized to all-zeros rather than comparing against some other memory? Or would memcmp automatically optimize that away because of the precondition that the first 16 bytes are already known to be 0?
You should look up the term "multiple expansion."
Don't want to be flippant but every daily user of marijuana that I knew in my life told me that they wanted to reduce their intake somewhere in the near future.
QA was getting squashed by Boeing at the time. One rampant thing I've noticed in the tech industry in particular is the QA group not actually being independent from the Engineering group. You can only pretend the conflict of interests doesn't exist for so long.

Also, hiring for legit QA, as in, you're getting people who can socially stand up and trade blows with engineers and management is hard. You have to have that unique blend of perseverance, quick thinking and attention to detail that is astonishingly hard to find.
It is not ISO then, it is the specific agency which makes them compulsory the one who should hand out the (allegedly much) money to ISO and make the documents available to those who must comply with the specific standard.

But I agree that making some proprietary standard compulsory goes against any fair law, if there is no way to obtain that information easily from the Government.
The largest potential for disappearance of works has already happened.

It was called the industrial revolution, and literally since then the smartest intellectual have predicted mass unemployment and the disappearance of work.

Endlessly the same prediction with endlessly the same argument only to be proven wrong over and over.

Can’t tell if you’re being facetious or not but my point was that not even every CS major would have taken this course (and learned about these structures) by the time they had finished, so it doesn’t quite seem reasonable to expect it as core knowledge for CS graduates, unless you want to select for graduating from a particular school.

Ask HN: Electric Massage Cushions?
I thought this may be of interest to us desk workers...

I've recently been trying a cheap unbranded massage cushion on my work chair. It has two rotating heads and seems quite good for keeping my middle back more mobile.

Alas the things aren't very durable. The rotating heads are driven by a plastic worm gear, which if you lean in hard - as I often do - soon wears out and starts skipping.

Has anyone found a similar product that can deliver a hard massage without breaking? If so which? Have you looked inside to check whether the gears are plastic or metal?
Yeah, it's kind of a shame in this case. There's tons to talk about in the area of where Rust shines here ("makes concurrency easy", "provides easy access to fast algorithm libraries", etc.) but security is just not really one of those points.

Honestly I'm not a fan of DeLong and I don't even think this is a particularly good breakdown of Graeber.

I would just encourage people to actually go and learn about the history of economics. The cristal clear that Graeber has nothing but distatest for economists and he can't be bothered to read into it at all.

For him, economists are just evil pawns of Capitalism that need to be destroyed.

That’s a very Western / Central European bias. In fact it probably is a big reason why there’s such a major east/west split that persists today, the rich countries keep building themselves more and more of this type of luxury infra.
If you rotate a straight line by 45 degrees, there will be deleted pixels. A horizontal line of 100 pixels will consist of ~70 pixels (100 * sqrt(2) / 0.5) after such rotation.

> Developed countries tend to have a far smaller footprint from industrialization per unit of output than developing countries.

Source? If you're talking about semi-modern countries like India or China specifically it makes sense because they are torn between very poor and very rich areas, both having access to some level of industrial capitalist comforts (eg. people in slums have cell phones and industry-produced clothing).

But, the matter central to this question is that these "developing" countries are in fact the ones producing all the shit we use in the "developed" countries. Production has been outsourced there not only for price of work, but also with the clear conscience that it would reduce pollution in the global north. [0]

> When your entire population shits into the main river that does a pretty good job of killing biodiversity

Yet that's not the only solution. Poop makes for very good compost.

[0] Industry pollution is a well-known problem on a big scale since at least the 19th century, when English/French cities (or at least their popular districts) were filled with acid and lead and other industry byproducts killing the population very fast.

Almost all Western countries have a system of judicial review, so I would personally find the opposite to be odd (why would it make sense to have a constitution at all if it can be effectively ignored by the legislature?)

If anything, from an European perspective, what I find odd is that the US Supreme Court is both the final appellate court and the judicial body that determines constitutionality of primary legislation.
> By what am I judging a given 10 minutes as being spent wisely?

Perhaps we can all make these same judgments easily (acting on them is a different matter of course).

Some of these things (perhaps learning chess, not my thing though) harbor calm in my psyche, allow my thoughts to unwind. Walking, reading, writing are things that have net-positive karma.

Other of these things (for me the news) can instead leave my mind troubled, anxious. These have net-negative karma. Often though these are seemingly addictive.

I allow for the negative because I want to be informed and often creative ideas come from exploring what others are doing, what is happening in the world.

I am trying to learn to time-bucket the addictive (and not-often creatively productive) activities though. At the same time I am beginning to recognize that I cannot be always on for the writing or other creative pursuits.
OK I give in. The talk of inflation being sustained is everywhere. I didn’t feel the burn of the “transitory” inflation that we are going through as much but obviously this is happening. Numbers say so, even Ray Dalio and Michael Burry have warned this may end up being sustained inflation and only the start.

So assuming this is the start of a sustained inflation, how do I protect my portfolio? Most of my money is in index funds and FAANG companies.
The thing is... lets say the CIA/NSA are tapping searx wholely or just instances. What exactly are the ramifications? I feel like they are going to be largely missing the target. A bunch of techsavvy nerds trying different search engines aren't going to be terrorists.

Agreed, many people enjoy writing bindings and creating tools, however the large majority will just pick what is supported out of the box and carry on with their actual work.

I guess the global menu ignores notch in the middle and displays sections anyway? The difference in fonts between KDE and macOS is visible here at first sight (ofc I know it's not surprising...). And maybe that's what Apple should do - tweak GUI a bit? Because from what I've read, people complain that menus are getting cut out.
They are lying by omission. It was WAY more than that.

The prosecutor was saying that Rittenhouse must be guilty because he chose not to speak before the trial.

That is an egregious violation. Judge wants a clear jury verdict due to the politicization of the case. In any other circumstances, I'd bet heavily that a mistrial with prejudice would be immediate.

I'm guessing there's a non-zero chance that the prosecutor gets officially censured for this case. Between that and the testimony about coercing the witness and interfering with the detective, there's a lot of wrong stuff going on here.

Signal to add closed-source spam detection
My major complaint with iOS is multitasking. Apps don’t run in the background, which is terrible for apps like OneDrive that need to run backups. You have to leave the app open to run an upload.

Also, Android has split screen, which is pretty useful. For these reasons alone, iOS feels outdated.

Other things I hate are all the hidden UI elements. You have to do a Google search to find out how to do things. For example, to close all Safari tabs, you have to press and hold a button. There’s tons of stuff like this. Searching for a word on a Safari webpage is incredibly fickle and still hard to get to. Text editing and the keyboard are awkward and frustrating as well. In general, I find a huge amount of hidden friction on iOS that I don’t find on Android.
If you can't fix the actual problem, sweep it under the rug.
Why Samsung screen is so expensive
I noticed my 2019 MacBook Pro physically hot to touch even after being idle for 8 hours at night. Now I unplug my USB-C monitor and USB-C-to-USB-A adapter at the end of the day and that has solved the problem. Now when I come to the machine in the morning, it is nice and cool, and I plug-in my peripherals again.
It seems Apple has noticed this sub-par pro performance and moved back to the MagSafe charger in the latest pro models.
Also, for the cynical among us, I would like to point out that each issue I've had with a MacBook, Apple has fixed for free. Don't assume they wont fix it until you take it to the Apple Store and ask.

> Clearly people who drive drunk are the ones who need this installed, and they wouldn't do it voluntarily.

And we already have systems for putting these systems in people's cars after they drive drunk. This new system is specifically targeting people who haven't been caught driving drunk. As such, MADD and Congress are absolutely in the targeted demographic for this bill. Frankly, given how often congresspeople get caught driving drunk, they should be probably be the first group to get them.

I would be utterly stunned if Congress isn't somehow exempt though. They'll leave a loophole for themselves, probably via not requiring the sensors to be retrofitted on imported cars or similar.
Some people just want Linux. Running it on Apple silicon (that is, aarch64) is exactly what they want–performance wise, it'll run circles around anything else in that price race.

Nothing I said is wrong. White chicken meat is considered a good food and you need some dietary fat, and it really is hard to get 170g of protein under 1800 calories without a lot of it being chicken. I've tried protein shakes but they got old.
Apple hardware quality and the design decisions have gone to shit since jobs died. The folks thet were feed up with the hype of his return to a diying company (and with a good reason, since the company really improved) are the ones keeping the company alive... In my opinion unless something changes it wont take long for it to be the dying company they use to be... They have a grat "body" but they lack the "heart" (and apparently the brain also)
You’ll want to buy paper charts and learn how to use a sextant! You should be doing both of those things anyway as you can have your electronics knocked out by lightning, but if you’re running from nuclear war specifically you may not have access to GPS.
I have no knowledge of the internal workings of ISO, and whether the current arrangement is absolutely necessary or just legacy/habit from the past. Perhaps a different funding model for the organization could be done.

I'm not against the standards being freely available if it can be arranged, I just find it slightly annoying that many people seem to be acting like ISO is some moustache-twirling, evil mega-corp that is exploiting the workers because it charges a fee currently.
Personal experience. I've built out numerous supply chains. One of my favorite anecdotes is that Best Buy used to pay for 1000 units, but require us to ship them 1020 units. And the factories always agreed to it because the alternative was paying for reverse logistics on any return. Basically it was always cheaper to send 2% extra, free of charge, in the forward direction than any risk of handling a return in the other direction. Everybody wins - the factory pays less in the end for warranty service, and Best Buy gets a 'no questions asked' return policy without paying for it. That's also why you'd see the 'as is' racks at best buy... those were the returned units. Wasn't worth it to send them back to the factory, just sold at half the price with no returns allowed.

If you still don't believe me, go to Fedex.com and quote the price to ship a large screen TV from your home to Shenzhen.
Is the choice of 16 as the "limit" value based on benchmarking? As opposed to just doing something like "!buffer[0] && !memcmp(buffer, buffer + 1, size - 1)" which uses the same principle.
I have used Google docs for this for 12 years to build a business with 200 full-time people and it has worked fantastic. I have probably a hundred separate documents describing policies and processes in depth. It is easily searchable for not just myself but many people.
> It'll be entertaining to watch them engage with their sisyphean mental gymnastics once Apple releases a new product with extra wrenches for their pleasure.

I mean, you're looking at the new Apple product. This project started on M1 and now it's being extended to work on M1 Pro.

Using the platforms people already use to discuss to host your comments is a great idea!
Even without the GPU, it sounds like the M1 is quiet and efficient, more so than any HP/Dell/Lenovo laptop I've used. Most heat up quite quickly doing anything, and the battery life quickly drops once you go past "light web browsing".

If someone can pull off the GPU in Linux on these, I have a feeling they'll be some beastly Linux dev workstations too.

Indeed, something like having a micro-kernel or composition engine written in Rust, everything else on top should just use a language with any kind of automatic memory management and value types support.
