There is no sound in written word. While I totally get what you mean (being a non native speaker), I don't care as much as I did.

It's the same tone for me as was used on Discord. There it's also not discord, but the server owners (as I learned a few comments down)

Apart from that: yes, I somehow blame the "give us your phonenumber approach". It's a lazy solution and a couple of years back, before the "war on terror/drugs/childporn/whatever" we used to get sim cards without r egistration and a DNA test (the later is a slight exaggeration ;))

And of course big companies such as Amazon or Discord love data such as the phone number.

Not only historically, but today too. If there is one thing in the world that requires no external incentive to motivate, it’s art and creative work. The entire internet is stuffed full of people making and posting creative work, 99% of the time with no expectation of economic benefit. It would all exist anyway, without copyright “nudging it along”. Every garage band in existence would also exist without copyright. Every performer on the street corner would still perform without copyright. Every fanfic site would still have heaps of content without copyright. This idea that “oh, nobody would ever make art if we didn’t give them a near-infinite monopoly on distribution rights” is totally absurd.

The only “art creation” scenario copyright seems to promote is “Corporation hires army of workers to make $100M 17th Spider-Man Sequel”. No, those specific kinds of work probably would not exist without government-mandated monopoly, but to say it promotes art in general is kind of exaggerating.
Which password manager do you folks use?
Yeah, with client-server encryption. Which doesn't matter at all. Encryption where the service provider has the key, which is the case for

* all Telegram chats by default

* all Telegram group chats

* all Telegram Win/Linux desktop chats

is indistinguishable from end-to-end encryption where the service provider has a backdoor (ANOM[1])

In both cases the service provider, and anyone who hacks them, can read your messages.

Figuring out the magnitude of what's coming. Almost everyone still seems to believe that "2°C, who cares, I'll just wear a lighter jacket" or something like that.
LuaTeX is what TeX should have been from the start (and would have been, if the technology of the time had permitted it). Apart from modern font-handling and Unicode, the main thing IMO is the hooks it provides (in the form of callbacks).

With other TeX engines (mainly: pdfTeX, XeTeX, or the original Knuth TeX), the only "programming" facility is in the form of macros, which were originally added by Knuth only for some simple text substitution to save typing. He never intended to add programming features into TeX, but of course, it doesn't take much to become "accidentally Turing-complete", and that's what TeX macros became. (There's also some rudimentary support for counters/registers, which IIRC Knuth added after he found users were (ab)using macros to encode numbers using unary or Church numerals.) So the only way to influence anything TeX does automatically, whether it's hyphenation or line-breaking or page-breaking or whatever, is to set up some macros whose blind expansion will ultimately—at a remove of several steps—result in the outcome you want, without affecting anything else (e.g. even an accidental space might get typeset, with undesirable results). This of course is cumbersome and error-prone.

With LuaTeX you can program these things at the level you actually intend, e.g. while you can still use macros (or use the `process_input_buffer` callback in Lua), you can now also directly, say, influence the page layout, in a Lua callback that is actually aware of data at the relevant level of abstraction (the vboxes on the page, say), rather than trying to do everything at the lowest (text expansion) level.

Knuth has said that he never intended for TeX macros to be used as a full-fledged programming language (he expected people would directly edit the SAIL/Pascal code of the TeX program for anything nontrivial), and that he dislikes each tool coming with its own Turing-complete programming language, and that if a standard embeddable programming language had been available he'd of course have used it in TeX — I think Lua would count.

You can see "TeX without TeX" page on the LuaTeX wiki for an example of the power of LuaTeX, typesetting with TeX while completely bypassing TeX syntax: http://wiki.luatex.org/index.php/TeX_without_TeX — a more elaborate production system is Speedata Publisher: https://github.com/speedata/publisher

As for myself, here is the most fancy thing I did with LuaTeX: https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/401604/book-on-a-sin... (a "poster" of Kafka's Metamorphosis done just for that answer, never "productionized" into a package or whatever). Also, something possibly illuminating is this TeX-vs-LuaTeX comparison of something hyphenation-related (https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/378704/how-to-avoid-...), and in this answer (https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/398310/why-in-2017-d...) I link to some other times I used LuaTeX, though some of them just use the Lua part of LuaTeX rather than LuaTeX hooks, such as computing digits of pi for generating pretty pictures (https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/367902/tikz-color-op...).
For single language projects that seems like a clear choice. I’m more curious about multi-language projects…

For example a project might mix Java, JavaScript, and Python. Should the project use all three package managers? When should the operating system package managers (rpm, yum) be used? What package manager is a good choice for languages without first-class package managers (like Ada or Fortran)? When is a developer portal package manager, like Backstage.io description format (https://backstage.io/docs/features/software-catalog/descript...), the way to go?

> What's fascinating to me about philosophy is how self-obsessed it is. When you take a math class you don't spend time learning to compute without the concept of zero or in Roman numerals.

As a former philosophy major and almost math major (ended up taking the minor), I think it would be a good thing if more people were exposed to history of math and philosophy of math, especially in STEM. This is for two reasons (1) too few STEM students are exposed to the historical situatedness of mathematics and alternative constructions to the standard ones and (2) a lot of topics in the history of math provide way more fun terrain for learning to read and write proofs than the stuff that kids in secondary or primary school are exposed to.

And to revisit this:

> When you take a math class you don't spend time learning to compute without the concept of zero or in Roman numerals.

There are classes in math departments where you work in structures that are similar to the numbers you know but where you don't use zero, and there are also sometimes cross-listed courses in math and history where you do things like compute using different numerical notation systems or in different bases.

We really should be demanding that producers use clean energy.
I've seen this for Boston specifically, and a bit for New York, but I don't think it generalizes. I live in a MCOL area and 90%+ of the jobs I see are remote. Controlling for the ones outright lying and the ones that think remote means coming into a main office every MWF, let's call it 75% are actually remote. However, most of the jobs I've seen posted from Boston companies seem to require in-person for some reason. And a large number (30-40% or more) of NYC ones I've seen have this weird "remote until COVID is over" nonsense.

Maybe it's a northeastern thing? I saw it a bit in Philadelphia too but much smaller sample size there.
Hope they use the extra space to add more battery and not for making the phone thinner.
But it's so easy to move an eSIM to a different phone - if this suddenly stopped you'd get a lot of public backlash, much like if moving a physical SIM stopped working. In the meantime, this works just fine switching eSIMs between devices, so your concern is just hypothetical, or have I missed something?

Encrypting messages for one person to read is relatively simple. Encrypting a message so that it can be read by multiple parties requires either sending multiple messages or agreeing a stable shared secret for the group chat. If you want to add/drop people from group seamlessly, while keeping everything encrypted, your app or your users will have to jump through lots of hoops. Most don't make the effort.
Nothing you mention has anything to do with DRM. I wish I could just pay $15 to get high quality DRM-free files for a season of a TV show, but the only thing on offer is a streaming copy full of DRM (which I can't play at full quality), or a physical copy full of DRM (which I can't play without extra hardware).

Well, there this[1] page that describes the GCC architecture:

"The SSA form is also used for optimizations. GCC performs more than 20 different optimizations on SSA trees. After the SSA optimization pass, the tree is converted back to the GIMPLE form which is then used to generate a register-transfer language (RTL) form of a tree. RTL is a hardware-based representation that corresponds to an abstract target architecture with an infinite number of registers. An RTL optimization pass optimizes the tree in the RTL form. *Finally, a GCC back-end generates the assembly code for the target architecture using the RTL representation.* Examples of back-ends are x86 back end, mips back end, etc."

Then, there's the official GCC documentation[2]:

"Compilation can involve up to four stages: preprocessing, compilation proper, assembly and linking, always in that order. GCC is capable of preprocessing and compiling several files either into several assembler input files, or into one assembler input file; then each assembler input file produces an object file, and linking combines all the object files (those newly compiled, and those specified as input) into an executable file."

You can also just run GCC -- either with --verbose or --save-temps -- and observe what the compiler toolchain is doing.

Licensing status is part of "functionality".

Much easier than 8 physical sims for sure!

The long term SIM cards (Virgin UAE, Three HK, Lifecell Ukraine) with phone numbers I can easily transfer by going on the carrier apps or websites.

But we’re rapidly headed towards a data-only world where the SIMs are essentially disposable, there’s nothing you’d care about transferring except perhaps some prepaid data you have left.
Disagree. Turning subscriptions on/off (assuming that doesn't require phoning in) seems much easier to the layperson than figuring out how to torrent something without getting viruses and/or copyright strikes.
Because despite both being privacy invasive and full of ads, the smart phones fill a need of having a mobile digital connection, whereas the smart TVs do not actually fill a need for the people who dislike them? Replacing my smart phone with a dumb phone would limit my use of it severely. Replacing my smart TV with a dumb TV would be welcome, if I could find one.
> as long as there are guarantees in there that the open access to that data can't be lost

This is the key point. The problem isn't mutual benefit, the problem is when communities can be seized by private entities or have the rug pulled out from under them, effectively stealing a community and shutting it down for their own gain. That's the difference between OSM and GoodReads. If you're going to donate time, make sure you donate time to commons, not to companies.

That being said, OSM does have a lot of guarantees about its data in place, and even better has license requirements that force companies who extend that data to contribute back. It's good that OSM is seeing more usage across the industry.

This might be over-estimating the numeracy and relative risk-judgment of people.
No, but they can change the licence to indicate it cannot be used for displaying "data agregations" (like the one FB does), that way forcing those wanting to use the OSM data plus that of their quality asurance to either not using OSM data or to make their QA data public (hoping they will chose the latter) which would in deed benefit us all
Hm. I may be getting the discussion a little confused. I also don't read French. It seems like Free Mobile offers eSims, at least looking at a translation of https://assistance.free.fr/articles/telecharger-et-activer-m... and https://alertify.eu/free-mobile-introduces-esim-for-new-cust...

I think the problem is less eSim vs Sim, and more market forces. I think the hope would be that if eSims are the only option for iPhones, it'll force more and more carriers to support eSim.
Level of abstraction ≠ Generation of languages.

The first 3 generation of languages were powered by higher levels of abstraction, which were possible because of better machines.

However, further increase in level of abstraction did not make developers an order of magnitude more productive, except for niche areas. Switching to a better development process (Scrum) can achieve order of magnitude improvement in developer performance, while switching of programming language cannot.

Anybody can claim that their product is a next gen revolutionary market shaking breakthrough. It's the self-promotion, not a science.
Precisely my point - you were making a false (in?)equivalence by trying to say that xinniethepooh's point was invalid because they were able to leave China while prisoners in Nazi Germany could not - while it's pretty clear that they weren't a prisoner in China, just a traveler.

One very interesting thing about closed-loop geothermal is that it isn't actually a baseload source. It has storage-like characteristics. One can draw more heat from it for a limited time, at a lower overall cost than a system that would be designed to draw that same level of heat constantly. This is due to the finite thermal conductivity of rock around the closed loop. After a "surge" that rock recharges by conduction of heat from further away.
Omission of China was very strange. I get that you may not have data. But to not mention that fact, when it's 1/5th of the world population, ostensibly the point of origin of Covid-19, and a country where most people are curious as to the effectiveness of its policies, is weird. Together with India it was one of the first countries I Ctrl+F'd out of interest.

John Hopkins' sources do cover India, at 600k excess deaths (table at the bottom). Also covers China at just 4000 or so, clearly wrong. But it's not clear anymore which figures are right or wrong, as the table contains much of the exact same data as the Economist article on most other countries. Seems like there's a data consolidation happening in the background from many different sources, you'd have to review the methodologies of each yourself (or trust the news reporting to highlight doubts or margins of error, but if they report China without comment as having just 4000 excess death in ±2 years, you obviously can't do that).

When I helped my dad get a new iPhone at an Apple store without my mom (who is the primary holder of the phone account), my dad had to give all sorts of information to the employee and had to jump through a bunch of hoops that involved my mom being on the phone to give to the employee (things like giving my mom's SSN to the employee, sending a text to my mom's phone, and some other things I cannot remember now).

After about 30 minutes of frustration, I saw that there was a physical SIM slot. We restarted the whole process to buy an unlocked iPhone and swapped the SIM card. That process took 3 minutes.

I also have no problems swapping my SIM between an Android, Pinephone, Pinepine Pro, and Librem 5 to test out various things. Or buying a used/new phone and not having to visit my carrier's store to switch the eSIM. Or permentantly swapping my SIM to a Pinephone. Every time I have had to visit my carrier's store, I have to dedicate an hour to it. I also REALLY don't want Best Buy or some other thir party handling my PII to swap an eSIM.

I will keep my physical SIM, thank you.

> They employ nobody in the OSM community.

Malone keeps saying this but I don’t think it means what he says it is.

Those large entities employ lots of people who add to OSM. Not only do they add content but by his own description they do QC and add other new features and support.

Their contributions are no different (except in magnitude) than a single, tiny contribution I might make, yet presumably that would make me “part of the community” but not them?
Nice. Can't wait for the new light based GPUs, all being grabbed by greedy crypto miners and me still using my 6 year old graphics card!
The whole point of PoW is that it requires a given amount of effort at a given level of difficulty to maintain a given level of production. (i.e. it's a function of the capital cost of the equipment and the operational cost of running it) All else being equal, if the amount of effort to produce a given result is reduced it will result in an increased level of difficulty netting out to a similar level of energy use.

This is the reason that Bitcoin, for example, keeps ratcheting up the difficulty: to counteract the increased performance of CPUs, then GPUs, then FPGAs and finally ASICs over time. It's an arms race that you can't 'win' for any extended period of time since the difficulty is not a constant, but rather determined by the desired level of production.
The parent was being sarcastic, it's not a real thing.

Maybe HN readers don't applaud knee-jerkλυ something just because it's digital.

As for which is "more convenient" that is what should be proved, not taken for granted. And this includes a lot of cases (travelling, using 2 phones, and so on).
The point is that it's not an effective safety feature. If you've ever spent time on a worksite you just hear the beeping constantly, and you start to ignore it
