> How usable is it? Does it have power management? I heard it still doesn't have good battery life or... anything. Did the switch from N900 hurt?

It's perfectly usable in my eyes - well, at least as long as I don't break anything, which can happen :) Lasts on a battery around 10-15 hours, less when under heavy use. Generally long enough for my needs, and there's still a room for improvement in software, so that will likely get better with time. The switch from N900 did not hurt at all (maybe aside of losing the hardware keyboard and having to get used to a 5" phone in my pocket).

> How can you when 3G will be sunsetted?

I'm not aware of any plans to sunset 3G where I live.

> I didn't mention other projects, but speaking of them why didn't you ever get interested in Replicant?

I used to play with Replicant a bit on GTA04 and Galaxy S3, but in the end I'm not interested in Android at all (it's a cool project though and I fully support it).

> With all new android phones being mainlined as well as "old" ones like the S9 way before either was released.

That's far from enough to have a properly functioning GNU/Linux userspace on them (although it is much better than it used to be indeed).

> but my point is that there was work on GNU/linux phones way before L5 or PP

Of course there was, I spent years of my life on it.

> Samsung DEX

Isn't that discontinued?

> Maemo was partially propietary, did it stop you from using it? If not, why ignore Sailfish and not count it?

If you read carefully, I haven't mentioned Maemo at all, for exactly this reason. I only mentioned N900 which I got to port SHR to, but ended up using it with Maemo as my daily driver - which wasn't ideal, but was best that was available back then (I switched to it pretty late anyway, since I stayed on a GTA02 for a few years). I didn't want to switch to more of the same; I wanted to do an upgrade, which is why I only switched when I got a Librem 5.

> That all being said I do admire your dedication to using gnu/linux, but my question is what do you gain from using it?

I am the administrator of my system, just like I am on my desktop, and I find that incredibly powerful. I can easily patch and replace every part of it, even right on the phone, while Android build system is a massive PITA. I often build deb packages straight on my Librem 5. I don't have to break into anything, it's mine. In the past, I made a mistake of getting a Kindle and at some point updating it to a version that didn't have a jailbreak available yet, so I told myself to never willingly rely on jailbreaking again.

Is it far in excess of minimum wage? A manager can be asked to be on call 24/7. But per hour, that is not much.

I don’t see what it would have to do with contractors. Minimum wage laws apply to employer employer relationships. Independent contractors can charge whatever they want.

Interesting article. It’s nice to see one sympathetic to the people choosing to cut contact; the handful of times I’ve come across articles on the topic it’s often spun against the people choosing to cut contact and discussing (ab)using grandparents’ rights laws/processes which I think is just abhorrent.

Friendly reminder to get your will and power of attorney documents created or updated. I got mine done because I don’t want my family of origin to have any power over me if I’m incapacitated, nor do I want them getting _anything_ if I die before they do. Even if you’re young and healthy, even if you’re single and childless, even if you aren’t estranged from an awful family of origin, get a will kit or go see a lawyer.
Likely of the downward variety.
This is simply not true. There are many places where you can go where the impacti of the Native Americans is still very obvious. There are places where you can find hundreds of religious carvings, arrowheads, obsidian artifacts, ect.
So, next time a police officer draws a weapon on someone, and that someone lawfully exercises their right to self-defense while exercising their right to bear arms, we're all 100% on the same page that it's okay, yeah?
Out of curiosity, what made him middling and not good?

Surely someone at your org could have determined that it's better to stop wasting each other's time before going through 5 interviews?

Sounds like there's more to the story than you're having us believe and the candidate had very good reasons to be upset (the exact wording and tone he used was not appropriate). If he insisted he had done great, I venture to say that he was led on during interviews and not given honest feedback.
Really awesome, have a usecase that's fits this nicely.
Well they'll have to port it eventually. Rosetta isn't going to be around forever.
> He didn't. He drove out of state to a new neighborhood... with a gun. Thats asking for trouble.

You’ve been lied to. Repeatedly.

His father, grandmother, best friend, and job were in Kenosha. Yes he lived a short distance away in another State, but he was in town nearly every day. It was his neighborhood.

And he didn’t “bring a gun across state lines”. He was given possession of one, in Wisconsin, which is legal for a 17 year old.
I recently made a visualization template of ZIP file contents for HexFiend. The format is certainly wonky, and some writers (I’m looking at you, macOS) don’t get it quite right: https://github.com/HexFiend/HexFiend/blob/master/templates/A...
Yeah surprisingly its not only just existing, but the rate of new content and updates is probably the best is ever been. Some fun stuff happening right now for the 20th year anniversary.

Literally yes? Can you drop the strawman and whataboutism in an attempt to derail things and maybe focus on the discussion at hand?
Heh today was my last day (L5). I only hung around about 21 months and didn't want to stick it out for my 2nd year's RSU vest date.

It _really_ depends on your manager and your team.

I kept trying to convince myself from the beginning that this team would eventually work out, but I was never a great fit for it.

My manager has decent enough intentions at times but never really did a great job at listening to issues that caused blockers, was forgetful, stretched thin, etc.

Team was very incongruous. For some people, they can be productive on their own, etc. But I never felt like the team chemistry worked for me. Most people feel like robots, honestly. They're fine grinding out code or whatever but they don't actively support you, even if it means unblocking you and giving you the knowledge you need to not be blocked again later. Some people would blame me for being mis-leveled as an L5 if I need any kind of support/mentorship, but I think all levels at some points, especially in the first 6-12 months, should be able to get both of those, within reason.

My team wasn't really stressful with deadlines for the most part, however there were times when my manager tried to be overly eager and would make promises like "we can definitely do this by X" to upper management, when we were short-staffed and over-worked already (due to team attrition and being on-call more often, etc.). While some people could meet the deadlines (I honestly couldn't most of the time, which I blame myself for), not everyone can. And it does put strain on the team, even the people who do meet the deadlines.

I think you need to consider if the challenge is worthwhile to you. Amazon pays really well the first 2 years (due to cash bonus years 1 and 2, and then backloads RSU's in years 3 and 4, if you can stay that long). But I feel like you need to get an amazing idea of the manager and team before signing the offer. I didn't really have that opportunity.

On the other hand, I constantly have companies reaching out to me to interview now and that's with only basically 2 years of Amazon on my LinkedIn (rounded up). So it's clear that helps, career-wise.

Disclaimer: I was hired right around the WFH mandate, so never really got to meet most people in person or anything. Sometimes I wonder if the environment on the team would've felt differently otherwise.

How the fuck is this a strawman? It's a massive courtcase that says it's okay to show up to places where you probably shouldn't have a gun, and if anyone else feels threatened and attempts to stop you, you're 100% okay to murder them to protect yourself.
In some countries the most elite schools are the public high schools and universities. At those universities in such countries the kids from private schools are crowded out from the top elite universities (whose entrance is solely exam based and which are public and usually free or almost free).

So the private universities which are expensive are mainly full of kids from private schools and the elite students at them are also from public schools who are given full scholarships to raise the student academic profile.

Italy, Japan, South Korea and Turkey are examples.
So if you get assaulted in Germany you're supposed to just let them beat you up without making a move?

Aren't there any acceptable scenarios were lethal self defense can be applied?

Annnnnd we're done here. You never wanted a discussion you just thought you had a "got them" moment, which never occurred.

You can be civil when you get called out in the future thanks.
The funny thing about social media companies censoring is how they keep making the case for free speech over and over again without realizing it.

Mill:

> First, if any opinion is compelled to silence, that opinion may, for aught we can certainly know, be true. To deny this is to assume our own infallibility. Secondly, though the silenced opinion be an error, it may, and very commonly does, contain a portion of truth; and since the general or prevailing opinion on any subject is rarely or never the whole truth, it is only by the collision of adverse opinions that the remainder of the truth has any chance of being supplied. Thirdly, even if the received opinion be not only true, but the whole truth; unless it is suffered to be, and actually is, vigorously and earnestly contested, it will, by most of those who receive it, be held in the manner of a prejudice, with little comprehension or feeling of its rational grounds.

The last point is the least obvious. Pro-Rittenhouse views were "held in the manner of a prejudice" by those who had them because they were censored. When those views aren't censored and there's a healthy back-and-forth, moderacy tends to prevail.
I've always been fascinated by the idea that intelligence lies within a spectrum. Someone might be incredibly smart about a narrow topic or field, yet be blind to their own stupidity within another realm.

To me, this seems like a classic example. To quote the press release: "During the execution of that search, SHARP made numerous false statements to FBI agents, including, among other things, in substance, that he was not the perpetrator of the Incident and that he had not used Surfshark VPN prior to the discovery of the Incident. When confronted with records demonstrating that SHARP purchased the Surfshark VPN service in July 2020, approximately six months prior to the Incident, SHARP falsely stated, in part and substance, that someone else must have used his PayPal account to make the purchase."

This man was a senior developer yet this quote sounds like it comes from a nine year-old. Not to mention "hire a lawyer, don't talk to the police" has always been pretty solid advice.

He now faces significant prison time, and the strong potential for a dismal life.

You conveniently omitted George Floyd, Breonna Taylor and Philando Castle.

Rittenhouse is the one who is armed. People might not have attacked him if he's not brandishing a firearm.
As the adage in the concealed carry community goes, “Better to be judged by twelve than carried by six”.

At that point, when your life is threatened, act, and look to ensure the involvement of medics and the law once you are safe.
It isn’t theft.

The whole point of the “smart contract” nonsense is that the code is the exact legal contract. What is “meant” is not meant to be relevant and the ability to argue about such things in court is considered a flaw that these contracts are meant to be fixing.

So someone obeyed the terms of the contract and earned coins in it exchange.

By all the definitions that crypto folk have been throwing around this is the correct result, and if people didn’t like the terms of the contract they didn’t have to accept it.
It goes even further than the "difficult to work with" vibes. If someone has 20+ years of experience and hundreds of interviews under their belts, they ought to know about candidate caliber variability and the meaning of standardization practices, aka why interview panels are setup the way they are.

As an interviewer, I might even entertain the idea of going along w/ said "two-way interview" charade, if only to see how the candidate deals w/ hiring (since for the sort of roles I evaluate for, that does come up as a job task), but I suspect that I'd see a holier-than-thou attitude that I've seen from bad interviewers and that that would be a negative flag (and, no, the "I'm not fired, I quit" thing won't work with me, because - not to brag - I'm pretty confident in my interviewee skills even without cramming leetcode)
What platform would be the most suitable one to publish ideas in a way that a future researcher can pick it up and work on it. A blog post on internet? That will just get lost in the internet noise. What you are suggesting is probably writing a white paper on it.

The switch to highlight “suggested posts” is disastrous. It’s the worst kind of garbage. Just interesting enough to keep you scrolling, but almost completely devoid of value.
By "propaganda and lies", people mostly mean "things said by the other side". The other side, of course, thinks you're the one spreading propaganda and lies. So unfortunately, what all arguments boil down to is "you should moderate this site to privilege my side and ban the other side". That's not a viable option if we want some sort of shared public space.

The HN guidelines are our attempt to have a set of rules that make some sort of decent shared space possible. We ban accounts that violate them, for what ought to be obvious reasons, so please stick to the rules from now on.
What Makes sRGB a Special Color Space?
In my opinion the least effort principle here undermines the actual purpose of the article though. It’s not about being virtuous it’s about them actually taking the time to understand 11 words without shortcuts which you may get wrong.

11 word headlines are already a shortcut and there is a point where more shortcuts are just taking the piss. Besides, on the internet I’ve probably already committed to clicking on an article before I see most illustrations.

I think illustrative pictures should always add to an article, not be a shortcut to decide interest.

“This public square on Franklin Street is the number one place to have your bike stolen in London” not “remember what a bike looks like?”

The “only respond to the headline” problem HN has is an extended version of the problem.
Toggle grid, pick colour, save, screenshot, better performance?
One reason is the same as people watching football or basketball, but rarely or never play themselves. These streamers are really skilled and it's interesting to see their skill level. Often times these are tournaments like e-sports, and this no different than any other sport.

Another reason is just entertainment value. The player is funny and interacts with viewers, or the game genre itself is entertaining to watch. For example horror games, it's fun to watch streamers get jump scared.

Yet another reason is to preview a game before buying it. I watch dozens and dozens of streamers, and at this point I think I watch more games (by title) than I play.
In the UK, aside from guns being highly regulated, taking the gun to a protest would be taken as a sign of intent to use it and the rest of the events would be interpreted in that light.

Of course in the UK he'd be looking at multiple years in prison just for the gun offence, and it's also less likely someone else would be waving a gun around in his direction.

This sounds like a nightmare for any downstream users of this library. Any one of those bullet points in that section would be a major concern for me using it in anything other than a hobby project, but all of them together seem almost willfully antagonistic to users.

This is especially true given it’s a security library, which perhaps more than any other category I would want to be stable, compatible, and free of surprises.

“You must upgrade to the latest release the moment we release it or else you risk security vulnerabilities and won’t be able to link against any library that uses a different version of ring. Also, we don’t ‘do’ stable APIs and remove APIs the instant we create a new one, so any given release may break your codebase. Good luck have fun!”
Yeah, I’m exactly the same. I would have thought that they would notice that I literally never scroll past there (except every now and then by accident, then I wonder why my feed is full of crap) and stop showing it… I guess not enough people stop scrolling there? Or maybe they do and Instagram is just trying to ram it down everybody’s throats to show more ads?

It really sucks that you can’t turn it off. The worst bit is when you see “You’re all caught up”, click the ‘View older posts’ link, and then see posts that I don’t remember seeing from friends that I follow and want to see posts from. Makes me so annoyed! But these friends are only posting on Instagram (or Instagram and FB, which is worse) so there’s not really any good options for seeing these posts I want to see except fighting Insta’s stupid interface…

Its interesting to read the criticism of charitable giving in the article, basically saying that taxes should be higher. Personally I think more wealth distributed by government incentivizes rent seeking - the objective moves from what private individuals want to who is most successful lobbying government. No doubt charitable giving has blind spots and there is some role for government (and donors are still subject to influence like better advertising or prestige that have nothing to do with the net good of the donation) but minimizing taxes in favor of direct donations certainly seems like the most democratic and market-driven way to proceed.

I pay nearly 50% of my income in tax, including to all sorts of government programs like sports arenas and arts subsidies and other "discretionary" stuff that is not infrastructure and social support. I'd rather see the non-essential stuff become discretionary, where I can at least direct the money to such causes that I value (which probably would just be more money to health and other people support services which is where I give my donations now)
Don't think they are facebook employees but fact checking orgs are pretty much all political activists.
Seems very niche, but I like this idea. Why not have an agency for lonely/struggling people who want to get together and develop some kind of symbiotic relationship with each other to do so? There's risks, but those are always present. I hope it works out.
I mean the old adage "if something is free then you're the product". For Netflix you're the customer, for Instagram you're the product.
I mean, if you're literally using the Windows utility for copying files (either by clicking copy/paste in Explorer or using whatever the DOS equivalent of "cp" is), it seem like it shouldn't be that tricky for them to make it work at least for the built-in AV, which is what the parent comment was talking about.
I wouldn't underrate the technical issues. To really make it work, you've gotta get the tooling right, so you're not writing and maintaining plumbing (logging, tracing, runtime config, networking, deployment, API layer, repository, etc etc) for every single microservice, all in their little bespoke ways. I once decommissioned a microservice after noting that the LoC of all its plumbing and config outweighed the actual logic 5:1. Pushing that plumbing to the background, so it can be managed as a cross-cutting concern, isn't so easy.
Rotten cows ... write no research papers.
Right - if you stand still then you’re going to lose users to whatever the next cool thing is.

So you have two options. One is to keep iterating on features. Two is to increase stickiness, of which the easiest way is by locking people into a social network.

Not so if the shot down people can also make the case that they feared for their lives because you were carrying a weapon and that is why they pointed a weapon at you in the first place. There is a good reason why only highly trained government forces are allowed to carry a weapon let alone some teenager.
