Devs may be small in number relative to the consumer market, but they're big in impact when it comes to building out an ecosystem. People complain about Linux on Desktop, but the Linux on Desktop is unreasonably good considering its market share.

As devs build out that ecosystem it'll become easier bring products to ARM. Eventually, we might even see something like the Steam Machines built on an ARM64 platform. If it ever happens, it'll happen on the backs of those trail blazing devs who built out the ecosystem, because they were able to get a pretty rockin' laptop on an ARM64 platform.

Devs also happen to be great evangelists for bringing technologies into the corporate ecosystem. This will create a demand for porting popular MDM and other corporate tooling over to ARM64.

I'm a dev and I'd love a machine like that. I actually think the older form factor is better, I carry my laptop to and from work every day, so I appreciate a lighter and slimmer laptop and I don't think I'm alone on that account. I couldn't care less about a screen that can get up to 1000+ nits, but only when playing certain videos.
There are two: the main traction battery and a 12 V battery that keeps the control system alive even if the main battery is completely flat.
With the decline in police funding, and a hesitancy for police to engage, citizens may have to find ways to protect and defend themselves.
At Qbix, we have a technology we can use to build pretty much anything for communities. So we set about to build NeighborCloud, a service that will take RTMP / RTSP camera feeds from regular security cameras, encrypt them on the fly and feed them into a control center that is owned and run by the neighborhood on their local computers (not a globally centralized service).

We had been approached by a client (a friend of mine) who wanted to make a security center for neighborhoods, that we could sell. And for a long time, I had the idea that video encrypted as close to the camera as possible could be very useful in solving crimes where otherwise you'd only have personal testimony (e.g. cases of alleged rape etc). But the keys would have to be produced only through a valid subpoena and court putting together their BLS signatures to group-sign something etc. Each minute and each camera would be encrypted with its own key.

I wanted full accountability and transparency: whoever is accessing the video would have to access limited amounts, and there would be a log of the reasons why.

We called up IBM and they had some interesting AI stuff that would work at the edges to detect potentially dangerous activity (knives, mobs etc.) and flag it for the operators of the system. Such a flag would be a valid reason to decrypt a few cameras for a few timeslots. The people with access would decrypt only what was needed, and the investigation itself would be logged -- why was this or that minute or camera decrypted. To decrypt too much would require greater authorization.

What I wanted to avoid is a panopticon where all the feeds are piped to some center. Sadly, the current social media companies have created such a panopticon with our willing participation, and we don't understand that better, far more accountable and auditable systems can exist, where we don't have to rely on centralized actors.

If you're curious, we can do a lot more than security cameras, this is just one possible application. Here we use it to earn credits for watching podcasts, live or recorded:

And we are also using it for students to be taught by teachers remotely, and know whether they are attending or not

Here is our overall ethos and approach: https://qbix.com/blog/2017/12/18/power-to-the-people/

PS: What I described here would be a potential solution to Apple's Client Side Scanning. What they're missing is accountability and transparency on the side of the people decrypting the footage: essentially a system of warrants, logs, same as doctors use to explain why they ordered this or that test. And furthermore they are missing the decentralization element: you just have to "trust Apple" because they won't give you their backend software. We do. That's why open source is superior. So you can run it yourself, and there is no concept of trusting a large centralized corporation. It's just software that runs on hardware you bought and own. No one is extracting rents, gathering your data, except your own community and by whatever agreement that is set up locally etc.

Is this a real option? Everything I've read about using the Pinephone suggests it's still very much a beta experience - missing drivers, buggy features etc. It also doesn't support any of the 3rd party apps I use - banking apps, maps, transit planning, whatsapp, spotify etc.

There's a more compelling argument for using an AOSP based build without the Google apps - at least then you've got a pretty solid operating system. But you again are excluding a lot of apps - eg banking apps, which do security checks and don't like running on that environment. I was at a pub recently with a colleague who does that, and to install the pub's ordering app (without which he couldn't order a drink - thanks covid!) he had to download an APK from a forum. Hardly a secure operation.

Don't do this.

Keep everything in settings.py and use environment variables (django-environ) to configure it.

In a project with tens and tens of apps and so many modules requiring configurations and easily reaching more than thousand settings key, keeping 1 settings.py has not failed me.

With the approach mentioned in the article, you'll get to a point where you'll be having so different setting module for each env.

01. local

02. testing

03. CI/CI

04. E2E

nice try - but from my reading, it appears that a large, driving reason for the evolution and adoption of Abrahamic Religion was that they specifically, exactly, discredited personal religious experience of all kinds, in favor of a collective, written canon. Social advancement in that crowd included better and more insightful reading of the reading, and writing of the writing, you might say.

Add to that explicit Father g*d, worship in a building not in nature, no female priests, and a few others.

Yes, these are moving in the right direction, but have a ways to go and are heavy for what they do. Visual Basic of old may actually be a better example.

Even reactive models are built around matching data to the DOM, essentially. And there's still too much wiring that's required.

I think where we'll see the innovation here is in the no-code and low-code platforms, which will move away from the model of code frameworks to better componentize and abstract away the low-level details. They'll surface high-level interactions via an elegant event model, and automatically handle reactivity through easy to specify component-to-database bindings.

The concept of a lower-level code framework will be replaced by that of a simplified abstract "environment" in which devs work.
The trick is to overcome the "just one scenario" bug in our brains, that is there to prevent group-fracturing and civil war. This is why we prefer binary worldviews (black/white).

So, you are ready for parallel exploration- now a working capitalism can do that for you, when its not self-sabotaging by becoming monopolistic. There is no real parallel exploration in a big cooperation.

Finally, the last sub-optimal part that has to go, is the attachment to enterprises and humans. What is important is not the company or the CEO, but the technology.

A company can go bust and all you retain as shareholder is the IP - and this can become the foundation of a whole micro-cosmos. Individual Products are nothing, but the capability to produce something within resource reach- is everything.

This! Even as someone who is pretty tech savvy accomplishing this is hard enough that it's been a deterrent. You can get cheap setups that keep very limited data recorded locally, or easier at some central cloud provider. Local storage with cloud backup to S3 or similar that you control becomes so much more complicated and expensive.

I think by at forward PE It’s not nearly as bad.
I disagree. Lawyer and Linux user since downloading Slackware 1.x from tsx11 many moons ago.

1. Libreoffice is still not comparable to Word 6 (circa 93).

2. Outlook - With several dozen lines of VBA, and a little customization, Outlook becomes a full blown case management system.

3. Acrobat Pro.

4. Fujitsu SnapScan - Scanner that every (smart) small firm uses. Not Twain. Linux drivers exist, but functionality isn’t there.

These are just some of the roadblocks. Maybe someday MS will release a Office for Linux.
> Just get a job and make friends and have a life.

That really is a narrow, normie view. Obviously it didn't work out for you but for others (and I'd put myself in the category) stars can be very meaningful, especially for work which you're proud of. In a small way you're being judged by people who understand, or at least use, what you've created and that can be more rewarding than other work, money or social interactions.

(Also, I'd rather kill myself than get a job and friends are generally not that stimulating)
I can use desktop Firefox on my Pinephone just fine. It scales very well to the screen size.
I'd draw the line at not spreading/hiding the costs. Have the payment for the law be part of the degree (for example), instead of creating a surprise payment only after somebody already invested some time into the path.
OK interesting. Great idea on trying to compare my projects with others and then adjusting the copywriting.

Then about testing for engagements: I've done similar things with the headlines of my blog articles. I usually have a few different ideas and I can test the engagement by e.g. resubmitting after a while on HN.

Do you have ideas on how to get improve the pace of my feedback loop? E.g. for testing three headlines of a blog post: Where can I test their engagement quickly such that I get live results?
If someone's already ruling out the Android-without-Google route because too many apps don't work, this seems like it would be a complete non-starter.

Privacy is important, but I also care about the terrible quality of search results I get from nearly all the major providers these days. Couldn't an aggregator like SearX host a machine learning layer that learns what results are more likely to be valuable to me, and ranks them higher in the results? Keeping the customization layer on my own server and improving search results would seem to be a big advantage both privacy and performance wise.
The Garmin thing is Apple frustratingly limiting non-Apple smart watches. Apple Watches have better control over notifications and allow for things like replies from the watch. It's such bullshit that they are allowed to cripple third parties to make their devices more appealing.
"The US public stock market is also at the highest valuation, by any measure you can come up with, since 1929."

This is definitely not a true statement.
I wonder if it would be legal to offer Windows Machines as a Service. So that you connect via Remote Desktop and pay by usage ... might violate MS' TOS though.
How to deal with the DNS resolver is probably also worth throwing in as an issue. If you fully statically link a binary, and it needs to resolve an IP address, you can have issues. Because you're guessing what the local resolver setup might be. Do some google searches for "--enable-static-nss" to see some of the issues.
The thing about a surveillance state is the idea is that someone is on the other end of the camera watching, i.e. the state. The overwhelming amount of video being generated is being recorded, but it's usually not being actively watched until after something happens. It's not quite a surveillance state as much as it is just evidence being gathered that might eventually be utilized after criminal activity has occurred. There's very little AI watching and analyzing what is happening on the surveillance.

Why? What you described appears to be the safest place on the web.
School boards and city councils are part of the democratic process, and they are open to you in your jurisdiction. You just have to face the prospect of your wishes being overruled for lack of support. That is part and parcel of living in a democratic society.
I used to be engaged in this part of the industry, but haven't looked in a while. So, sincere question: Are V100's still meaningfully popular? I know they were incredible for a long time, but I figured most usage would have shifted to A100 for high performance or T4 for cost.
They know much more. What you liked or disliked, which ads you clicked on, which ads you closed immediately, which you waited till they finished. When you added people as friends. Which network were you in at the time. What browser/system/device were you using. How fast was your internet. How much battery you had. How often are you using their site, how it changes through the day and through the year, have you changed your timezone.

Each of these is insignificant and noisy, but when aggregated it allows 99.9% predictions on stuff like "who are you voting for", "how much do you earn", "are you expecting a child", "are you buying a house/car/trip/anything significant soon", "how's your health", "are you sleeping well", "where do you live", "are you on a trip", etc.

People get ads about health issues before they realize they have these issues, because the Algorithm knows better.

When you have enough noisy uncertain data it doesn't matter that it's uncertain and noisy.

I suppose we could call this the democratization of policing (and not so much a police state, though debatable depending on interrelationship and politization).

In some ways, but not all ways, it harkens back to a time when the smallness of towns and the percentage of people in towns meant that over 90% of people lived under “democratic” surveillance. One major difference is that today you cannot skip town to start a new life with a clean, if unknown slate. Your history will follow you and we’re not allowing for people to turn a leaf as easily as before. At the same time it means serious offenders will have a harder time getting away with violent crime.
I am wondering: did you do such a thing before in real life? Like a joint grant proposal with a few people and like 20-40 pages? How did the git work flow work in practice?
No, but stars probably correspond to use or interest in your code.

I don't think people always want contributors. I've found you're much more likely to get people who make a mess of things than coding soulmates.

It works fine 95% of the time. For many people, it can already make a daily driver (I daily drive mine). Sometimes it's slow though (which is why I recommend Librem 5, waiting for mine to arrive).

The real problem is that banks and government are forcing users into the duopoly. You should complain and change your bank if this is the case.
