> Except this is why chemistry is less entrepreneurial - you can't just set up a lab in your shed (for better and for worse)

Given the number of wannabes PhD in chemistry having peaceful religious beliefs that are entering in EU every year, this is really for the better.
Tbh if a client is dumb enough to put xhtml-im directly into DOM with no verification that is the client's problem, not the XEP's, and that should be no reason to cancel it.
I will stick with wired headphones for the overwhelming majority of usecases. There are just not enough downsides to cables compared to never needing to switch audio devices in a conferencing app, awkwardly change OS settings before jumping on a call, or ever charging my headphones.
My experience is the opposite. You python code all it needed was a Requirements.txt and a pip install and the tooling takes care of the rest, been like that for years.

Any non trivial 40-year Fortran code though works with a specific compiler good luck getting that to run on a modern computer.

Also to note is that date parsing is complex. I can see why most would prefer to use a properly tested lib to do it. I've seen far too many handcrafted date parsers that suck and break in crazy ways over the years.
Indefinite Hold on Selenium IDE in Mozilla Extension Store
Yeah, and Bluetooth phones / buds are much better for running.

I used to jerk my wired earbuds out of the jack all the time.
I bought a Sony that does BT and wired, I love the whynotboth movement personally. Why do we have to choose?
Had the 65T for years and can confirm. They are very solid and sound great.

I only upgraded when I lost them. And appreciate the smaller size on the 75 model.

I still very much recommend them to anyone on a budget.
A laptop not having a headphone jack is irritating.

The 2021 MacBook Pro has a headphone jack. I can understand taking the jack out of a phone because it makes it more water resistant and frees up space, but in a laptop there's a much larger footprint to work with. And users are more concerned with plugging in peripherals vs waterproofing in a laptop.
I can't imagine how someone trying to overcharge me would help build a relationship between me and the seller.
Fly.io continues to impress me with their pragmatic and clever approaches to otherwise challenging problems.
This is not true most grants do not allow for OA money or you have to take it from other lines (salaries, equipment...) and deal with that internally. But in the end it is taken from your research fund, the university is also taking a portion of the grants as indirect costs and a part of those pay for the yearly increasing secret library contracts (they are confidential you can't even get them with a FOIA). So in the end paying OA to large publishers, you are paying them twice.
I had AirPods since the launch day. The battery was not great to begin with and they decayed pretty fast. After that they're basically trash as replacing the batteries is about as expensive as buying new ones.

I'm back to EarPods now. Don't listen to music on my phone anyway.
I would imagine for a joining satellite desktop manager(s) that there would be some form of an overriding SAML-type mechanism to take in a remote authentication from the primary login screen.
Android security tool APKLeaks patches critical vulnerability
Pigs are no more impure than dogs, fwiw. That belief is merely a result of having been raised in a culture that arbitrarily chooses to love dogs and cats and hate most other animals.

Dogs can be infested with parasites just as easily as pigs.
The policies are sensible in your opinion, you will find that is where you are in disagreement with myself at least. The policies might be sensible with rose colored glasses and a pint of hope, but its not like what we imagined it would be way back a year ago. Ultimately vaccines should be used for those who benefit but forcing it on those who don't need it is just checking a box. Quit pretending like we don't know that most Americans have had Covid by now and that this imparts significant immunity.
It might interest you that Wikipeida chose Vue to modernise its frontend in the future [1]. Different frameworks offer different benefits and different downsides.

React is not the end-all, nor will it ever be, as long as there are interesting new projects coming out, and neither is Vue or Svelte. My website uses React, but personally I would rather use Vue or Svelte in the future.

The whole supplements industry is like this. The best you can do is get one that’s USP certified.
Show HN: Repurposed Mac Pro 5.1 as Deep Learning Computer
A few years ago we were running lots of distributed compute jobs and I picked up some high spec mac pro 5.1 that people were selling off in the bay area. I could pick up a 12 core 3+ Ghz with 32 GB of ram unit for about $500. They served their purpose but we started doing other work and they gathered dust. I then had to run some analysis requiring deep GPU enabled compute, with minimal work I was able to convert a 5.1 running macOS to running Ubuntu 20.04 with an NVIDIA card. No doubt Apple fans will find this abhorrent but Apple has discontinued support for the 5.1 yet they are still as powerful as many modern computers. If you want to know how we did it then get in touch.
Oh yeah I forgot about the second device pairing message - definite annoyance! I actually have used it with work macOS laptop (Big Sur) a few times but did not notice anything odd.
> How many people do you see using 2010 smartphones with replaceable batteries?

How many 2010 smartphones have security updates that you can safely use? It's a chicken and egg problem.

For every person that chases the shinny new thing there are plenty of people who don't care about that and just want to have minimal functions, phone, sms, video chat, some decent photos/video, and occasional online banking.

However due a broken business model from Tech giants and firmware lock-in from Mobile SoC manufacturers this is unattainable at the moment.

Vendors should be forced to maintain an LTS work stream to give the alternative to those costumers who do want to act sustainably. Unfortunately that will never happen unless they are forced by regulatory changes.
I believe the audio quality degradation when using the mic is a limitation of Bluetooth bandwidth. It switches to a different profile capable of sending and receiving audio instead of only receiving.
I have Google's Pixel Bud A series and they have none of these issues to be honest. By far the biggest issue is that they don't let you connect to more than one device simultaneously. Fine if you only use them with your phone, but a pain if you want to use them with a computer too.
Well as far as I'm concerned they only own the distribution rights. They've got no business messing with my files or the system(s) it's on.

Though that's my moral standpoint, from a legal standpoint the situation may well be FUBAR, at least in the U.S.
I have a pair of XM4s, I could never get two devices (Ubuntu laptop and Android phone) to work right without getting atrocious sound quality ("headset/handsfree profile") on one.
I've got some Sony bluetooth / noise cancelling headphones, I don't like the lag but that's only an issue for videos and it switches to low latency (low quality) for voice calls. But I really appreciate not managing a cable, it's always in the way, or touching my arm or something (some sensory things really annoy me while sitting at a computer). Plus, great battery life.

And it Just Works. Although my Mac has a tendency to switch back to my speakers (also bluetooth) after ~15 minutes without my input, that's really annoying. Might have to do with the speakers turning themselves off?
What used to work for me: a military deployment to a combat location. The environment is completely different and there is pressure to perform but that pressure is immediate and real opposed to self inflicted inefficiencies in the corporate world as a programmer. You want to graduate from a keyboard warrior to an actual people manager doing meaningful work that does it.

But… you can only do that so many times. Eventually you will conquer those performance pressures as well and need something more. I used to dread boredom and the slow pace of other peoples inefficiencies but now I find comfort appreciating the relaxed life.
Im sure it is morally justifiable to people of any religion, when performing the procedure is the only chance the patient has to continue living.
This is probably a websockets bug that crops up during deploys – the connection breaks and reconnects keep getting sent to the now-gone VM for >60s. We're furiously rebuilding our service discovery plumbing because it's slow to propagate. I'm hoping we have the websockets issue fixed this week.
Increase their prices? Their prices are already completely insane. A dedicated 8-core CPU with 64GB RAM for $558.16/mo? And that's not even bare metal, you're sharing all of the other resources of the server. How is it possible that netcup can give you two more cores for under 50€ [0]? Or Hetzner a dedicated server, not just CPUs, for a similar price [1]? Housing servers is expensive without your own datacenter? No, it's not, it's cheaper than ever [2]. What is Fly doing with their servers? Or is that all just markup? It seems their customer is somebody who doesn't care at all about money or somebody who is completely unaware of how much servers actually cost.

S3 or the equivalent is best, yes.
There are good reasons to do it independent of simple ratio; for example, if you want the site to function as much as possible with a read-only database - not uncommon in recovery, failover or big migration situations.

An Open Letter to an Open Ecosystem from the Intel CEO
The Quest 2 is a really nice piece of hardware that is sadly significantly hampered by its ties to Facebook. I will never own one because of it.
Sure you can. Executive order. Boom.
As a quasi-coder, after much looking i've settled on this:

Jupyter Notebook - https://jupyter.org/ -- content creation
Hugo - https://gohugo.io/ -- website structure and theme
Github - https://github.com/ -- backup and version control
Netlify - https://netlify.com/ -- host and deployment

Jupyter makes writing easy, and can export to many formats (html, md, rst, latex, ...). There's also a Jupyter Desktop App available, though it doesn't support extensions.
https://github.com/jupyterlab/jupyterlab-desktop

Hugo's easy to setup, has many themes, good documentation, with a logical file system.

Github Desktop makes github easier to use.
https://desktop.github.com/

Netlify deploys content directly from Github.
Here's a few more:

- Airpods sometimes do not charge when in the case. Usually need to pull it out and put back in again.

- Knowing what airpod(s) and case are charging. The UI on the phone, the open the case sliding window, the widgets, and the case light itself are not very useful.

- Spatial audio working on some apps but you're not usually aware if it's on until you tilt an ear one way to confirm.

- Out of ear detection sometimes doesn't work well and will drain the respective airpod.

- No preference list of what devices should have precedence over others. Especially when working on 2+ devices.

- Hand-off calls is a weird UX. Why would I answer a phone on my iPhone by default when it's clear I have airpods connected and being used?

- The transparency / noise cancelling dance. Not sure if there's a preference, but it feels random which one is on by default. Always do a double check at the gym or when running as outside noise sounds loud.

Still the best headphones and experience in my opinion and have enabled me to achieve a hell of a lot more because of them. Easily worth the price for how much I use them.
That was my least favorite thing about traveling/living overseas as a stereotypical looking American. I hate haggling. I hate it more than anything. It's needlessly antagonistic and completely unnecessary. I understand it's a cultural thing, but I hate it more than birds.

It was exhausting to buy anything, the entire time. It never got better, even when the shops learned who I was after an extended period of time. Food, water, everything was an argument. I just wanted to exist and check out what was going on around me, not argue with some random shop that my groceries shouldn't be so expensive.
Out of sheer curiosity, is it just the white on black and would a "softer" light-grey on dark-grey be better for you? Or just generally light on dark?
The Moldovans are getting EU passports, usually Romanian or Hungarian. They certainly aren't looking for Moldovan passports.

I don't think this is a problem at all, the whole concept of borders and citizenships is poisonous.
The holocaust really has no relevance to gun policy. Plenty of well-armed nations were invaded by the Germans and subjected to its horrors. I don't want to get into a whole 2A discussion but, this is precisely the kind of garbage pro-gun rhetoric we're hoping to escape by leaving.

The rest of your comment feels like it's from the perspective of someone who's not tried these lifestyles, or is naive to their costs. Cycling in the US is super dangerous. Living in the Midwest subjects you to intense levels of religiosity, racism, misogyny, homophobia, and a thorough lack of multiculturalism. Obviously kids aren't obligated to take care of their parents, but we don't want to force them into a system of bad choices. A nation without equal access to reproductive freedom teaches each of its citizens that women do not have a fundamental right to control their bodies.

It is true it's possible to carve out the kind of life we want here, or perhaps other non-EU countries. We don't know if we'll stay in NL past a year or two. But it's really about what kind of society we want to live in and what values we want our kids to absorb. And yeah, the US really just isn't on that list.
Does DynamoDB give transactions, rollbacks, joins?
Building a Public-Facing REST API – An in Depth Guide with Rails
Yes, it's meant to reproduce the traditional one-earplug bluetooth experience for busy people. It also allows one to effectively bypass battery limits: if you hear the battery alert, you take one earplug off and put it in the case - it charges so quickly, it makes it doable to put it back on before the other dies, and then you recharge the other.
For perspective, Apple was scanning iphones for allegedly illegal files, based on their hashsum. However, I'm not sure the database of illegal hashsums is publicly available?

Presumably Google is doing the same thing, but in the cloud. However, does anybody have access to the database of copyrighted hashsums?

If society is going towards a world where we blanket filter based on the file's hashsum, then perhaps the government entity overseeing copyright should have a public database of these hashsum's? That way the public can know things are, or not, prior-art? Not only prior art, but potentially illegal in other ways.
That is exactly it. People are using recent as a proxy for quality.
It's also pretty much confirmed at this point that the next pair of AirPods won't be using bluetooth - which they will get a lot of shit for but is probably necessary to address a lot of these issues.
>Their battery life was infinite.

However, the life of the cable was a few months at best in my experience.
But this suffers from goodhart's law. "support period" becomes the metric to game, so manufacturers would say they "support" for 10 years or whatever, but what that entails is having an inter bump up the version number every 6 months.

Try getting another set of Bluetooth earphones, then weigh in the quality.
I don't think I've ever noticed this effect. At least, not in the way people lead me to believe it should be felt?

When I get to the gym and throw some iron around, my 'good feels' come from knowing that I got out and got some of my energy worked out, and helped improve my body/got enough exercise for maintenance. I think of it as a pleasure or satisfaction that I derive from knowing that I've done something good for myself, and not so much from the physical act of exercise.

The closest I get to getting endorphins is when I get a new deadlift PR. I get to turn off my brain and (mentally) go 'ooga booga', recruit my entire posterior chain, and put all I've got into it.

But I've also overdone it a few times, and seen stars/had blurry vision/wanted to lay down for a bit after that one rep, so maybe it's just teasing that breakpoint?

(for the record, my current all-time pr is something like 295, but I'm working back up from 275. Not winning any contests lmao)
I wouldn't let the lack of a headphone jack deter you from upgrading a phone if you wanted. You can get one of those adapter things and just leave it attached to your headphones if you wanted. I know people think it's annoying that you even have to do this but it's an option. I bet you can get one for free from a friend even.

I do have a nostalgic feelings for the iPhone 4s and headphones. I wish there were products out there that excited me in the same way my first iPhone did.
I want so much the wireless headphones fad to go away.

When batteries deplete in the middle of a meeting, what are you supposed to do? Connect a spare pair via usb dongle?
It's not an outrageous claim. The huge scale of passport fraud in Romania and Hungary is widely known, literally to the point where half the rich Russians living in central London hold fraudulently acquired Romanian passports.

Of course it's not only Eastern Europe, of course Greece and Italy have struggled with this too.
Not sure why you are downvoted, most colleges, at least in US, have more money coming from research, industrial partners and clinics than tuition.
Scotland is a much better example of "right to roam" than England.

Very generally, England allows a right to cross property on foot. But, that doesn't include camping, cycling, etc. The list of allowances is relatively short and exceptions relatively long.

Scotland allows all a lot more freedom to roam, including cycling and camping. I don't recall exactly how it's codified, but it's approximately a default right to access, with limited exceptions (close proximity to homes, farms with active lambing, estates during hunting season, stuff like that).
Annoyance 8: I get anxious when I get on a video call and see the other person is wearing airpods because they're always cutting in and out.
>Builds relationships

I don't get this one.
> Of course my Google is not your Google.

And that's the main problem with the new Google.
Yeah and I don't call those victories either. We lost and need to do better when it happens again.
> But aside from such special cases, we shall not count robot hazards and artificial intelligence hazards as information system hazards

Yes, it needs a [2011] tag on it. Because:

>There is, however, another way for robot- and AI-related risks to enter our information hazard taxonomy. They can enter it in the same ways as any risk relating to potentially dangerous technological development

is already happening. Given those autonomous decision without humans in the loop (e.g., flag some file as copyrighted), it isn't a basic-potential-risk, it's reallity.
I disagree, it's definitely a feature in my book. It allows me to keep listening or stay on calls basically forever.
> they’d have to be bulkier

Then make them bulkier. What's worse, filling the planet with garbage, or a few industrial designers having slightly less impressive portfolios?
I don't think the problem is "offload[ing] the compute from the server to the end user".

It's sending incredible bloat powered by inefficient frameworks and programming practices, and careless use of the bandwidth.

There are frameworks and programming practices that allow doing the same things without burning people's computers and making people wait. Making people wait and burning their bandwidth and data plan is just disrespectful but nobody cares as long as the app works fine on the customer's new phone or laptop.

I'm saying it as someone who does frontend development so it's not just guessing.

I'm writing a Svelte SMS app whose whole frontend is 3 times less heavy than just React itself, and fast on underpowered hardware. I've also built a networked Scrabble game that's instantaneous on an iPad from 2010. I've not focused on performance. This stuff is not impossible to figure out. It's just that these apps don't need to produce and diff entire virtual doms on every mouse move, do not come with custom web fonts, do not embed an entire icon pack of which 10 icons are used, do not use a 100 kb CSS reset framework, do not use 4K images to draw buttons and do not bundle the whole npm planet to work. The amount of features provided by current browser engines is incredible and it is possible to build amazing things by embracing them without breaking a sweat.

React and this state of the frontend world depress me.

It's okay to do client side computation. Just don't do it by sending megabytes of interpreted code for that.
Though being able to use the right tool, in circumstances where that is a wired set, can be a problem on some platforms.
This is the current LucasFilm Games model. No more artists, only managers and sales who have no true vision for their IP.
AI Is Already Making Moral Choices for Us. Now What?
No economics is "economics 101" stuff. Economics 101 is a gross over simplification to get students accustomed to basic concepts. There's a reason economics is called the dismal science.

You've got a system where everything is connected to everything else. There is no way you're going know if it's good for you or not. I have a house with a mortgage so inflation is good. If I can keep my job and demand higher wages. But if inflation is high it will put pressure on the fed to bring it down raising interest rates. Higher interest rates mean buyers won't quality for as high of a mortgage and the price of my house goes down. Unless they can also get higher wages to offset inflation. But then the county notices that their coming up short on tax revenue because of inflation and reassess my taxes. But I need a new roof and that just got more expensive. But my 401k is doing great etc, etc.

All of these things are in balance and you have no idea which ones are elastic and which ones aren't. It's like trying to balance a 10,000 leg stool. You can maybe make some gross generalities and even then you're often going to be wrong depending on where you own your home, what businesses are location close to there. What you have your 401k invested in.
I’d love to hear from folks who have worked with Intel. Is this for real, or hype?

My sense is they did wel for a long time partnered with MSFT but now want more options to be built on top of their chips.
people in the “content industry” (tell me that’s not a real thing)

I think if there is a thing of any sort, there's an industry for it.

And if it sound dumb to an engineer type, it's more likely there's a lot of it.
Have you tried resizing the window? I do have this sometimes too and figured out that it usually happens when the other field-values are too long. Seems the date has simply the least priority between all the buttons and the view-count and becomes hidden.
Sounds like the small slice of hell that is a low battery in most smoke detectors: one short (and loud AF) beep every ~15 minutes. Fine when you have only one, but in a large house you never know which one of these f*ckers is actually the one complaining.
