Thanks for the comment! Yes, the biggest difference is that you can play a live game with friends without needing any apps or logins - just text or email a link to your game and start playing; I personally didn't find an alternative that fit these needs. I’ve played this game with strangers at a bar and with friends online during virtual parties in the last two years, doing almost 25 players at one point which was fun.
They could have invented a better term. It's almost like they wanted to confuse people.

I got a 6 pro gathering dust somewhere and am typing this on my 2XL because I still like it better than anything else.
Over time, Apple got strict about replacing their Lightning charging cable and wired EarPods (headphones). They would regularly wear out for me.

In earlier iPhone generations, they would replace your EarPod headphones without a hassle (or wait). Later on (as Apple got more popular and Apple store genius bar lines grew longer), you had to make a reservation and they would only consider replacing it after checking the cable's (discrete) serial number.
FTX got the nature of Larry David completely wrong. He is an enormously successful, extremely wealthy man who, subconsciously, all of his fans love to cheer on and with whom they agree. Larry is socially awkward, but in a way people envy -- he goes right up to hypocrites and challenges them to their face. You don't stay on air for 10+ seasons without being the protagonist hero the audience wishes they could be. He is not, in any way, a buffoon or an idiot. But the takeaway impression from the ad is Larry David saying "naaah". That's it -- that's what people remember. Just throwing a tag up there, "don't be like Larry" isn't going to flip an internal emotion people have held for two decades. The affinity people have for "Larry David" the character or Larry David the person is far too large for that.

Even in the focal point of the commercial itself, LD is the alpha with the office, the desk, the awards, the guy being pitched to... and FTX expects me to instead side with a random nerd with a cell phone? Oh, and the call to action is terrible -- FTX is hardly even mentioned. I would bet 9 out of 10 regular Joe's have no idea who the Larry David ad was for.

postscript - the ad could have been saved, if the pitch was delivered by someone familiar, with equal stature and affinity. Because we always see Larry arguing with his closest circle -- and because they are also wealthy and successful (which, subconsciously, provides credibility). If it was Cheryl trying to get him to invest? Definitely. Leon? 100%. Jeff? Maybe. Richard Lewis? I think it would have worked great. Ted Danson? Possibly, hard to tell how that would go emotionally. Jerry, Jason or Julia? Could have been amazing. But some random guy with zero credibility? It's just a fatal error, self-imposed, no way around it.
Second that. Common use case is saving stuff from iPad or Android phone and doing the reading later on desktop..
I suspect a lot of folks here assume the only type of "content" worth having is text, given the nature of programming, and of this website. Therefore anything that makes text hard to produce cannot possibly be good for "content" creation.
Some of us use it a lot because we remap it to be the meta key. grin

In a city where space is at a premium?

Which space efficient septic tank do you have in mind?
Assuming it's dead dead, it's probably a power supply or fuse issue. Pop it open and get the P/N on the P/S board and it should be findable. They're often conserved between models and across model years (and sometimes manufacturers).

Maybe not available through "Them", but "their" prices are usually atrocious.
What things to consider for a wannabe entrepreneur before starting a startup?
Who are your top competitors?
Thanks for responding. My original point didn’t come across well.

I meant that now we never hang out, we don’t trust each other any more, and code review has suffered as a result.

It’s especially hard for new people joining a team where baseline trust is basically equal to that of Internet stranger.
Iron vapour, Titanium in liquid state. The amount of Energy required for that kind of state of matter would be huge. If only we could harness it somehow.
I feel like any kind of sleep tracking app could only make things worse for my own situation (which I'm guessing is not particularly uncommon), the root of which seems to be around making too much of a big deal about sleep, getting increasingly anxious as I fail to fall asleep, not being able to help but monitor whether I am falling asleep or not etc.

When I sleep best are the nights I forget to be concerned about it. Typically once something important comes up (job interview, date, etc.) I remember what a problem inability to sleep has been for me in the past, how it could ruin it all—then it might be another month or two where I'm unable to "forget," lay awake for hours concerned about being unable to sleep.

My intuition around tracking is that anything big enough to make a real impact you'd already be aware of. The further micro-optimizing feels good mostly 'cause you've opted into thinking in a framework of sleep optimization so it's goal accomplishment in that context, but probably not a big improvement strictly on a physiological basis.

(Or maybe I'm completely wrong and just grumpy I can't find a good solution to my sleep issues :)

Ten minutes on GrapheneOS.org web installer, no longer forced.
If it's any consolation, I highly recommend LG due to my experience. Bought a 65 inch unit 3 years ago, threw away the box, and have since moved long distance 3 times without it. 3 times on a semi wrapped in a blanket, and the thing still works like day 1. I'm a fan.

I still remember when I bought it, I was choosing between it and a TCL. When I asked what the difference was, the guy banged on the back really hard of each. The TCL showed big white splotches when hit, the LG had no effect. He called it 'shielding', but I'm not versed enough to know if that's a thing.
That's fine the whole idea is weird anyway.
I always did the same with the Insert key on windows. Totally useless and misclick hell.
Thanks. Not everyone seems to agree though, oh well.
Now take the charged sphere and connect it to ground with a wire. At the moment you connect it, what happens to the unbound charges that are on the surface of the sphere?
Samsung TVs are worse. Their OS is something app makers are not willing to support anymore. Twitch just stopped working. This is something I don't expect from a $1k TV bought just 20 months ago.

I wish someone makes just TV panel with ton on inputs and outputs. I am happy to plug in Sonos soundbar and Apple TV to make it work and make it "smart".
> There's plenty of times in Apples history where looking cool has won out over practical concerns.

I'm not even sure "looking cool" was a factor in some of the worst ones. "Winning industrial design awards for being thinner than possible" stands out to me. In pursuit of that, they had four years worth of laptop keyboards that didn't work long term, and got rid of the most amazing feature ever for laptop charging (MagSafe), to thin things out further with USB-C. Not a bad connector, but definitely a bad charging connector compared to MagSafe for people with kids, pets, etc.

I'm glad they've gone back to a laptop that seems to work, but... I've lost interest.
And regardless, function before form does not invalidate form after the fact.

EG, you're building a bridge. It needs to do its job, and not collapse. There are many perfectly functional designs, which have appealing form. Yet, if you want to actually be able to use the beast, it:

- needs to be wide enough to pass traffic, but not too wide (waste of money)

- needs to be able to keep the traffic from careening off into the abyss each use

- needs 100 other things such as the above

But once the above "functional" criteria are met, form is fine. Why not make it look good? Great! Yet, don't (as an example) overlay form which then reflects sunlight into driver's eyes, so they can't see and crash on the bridge.

This is all reasonably understood with normal day objects.

But, when someone engineers a bridge, they have to go to a decade of schooling + years on the job, to rise to that position. And the same for people designing beautiful buildings, or homes. They know the restrictions, the load requirements, and then they layer extra on top of that.

Not even sure what I'm fully rambling on here about, except I guess that I think UX/UI should only be attempted after years of using software in a professional capacity.

I was in to a store the other day, and they were looking up stock. It was an ncurses display. And the employee was zooming through it, as typical, with keyboard shortcuts, and FAST.

UX/UI is really the problem. Making things pretty gets in the way of functional first. Keep it function before form, and you're fine.

And if anyone rattles on about Apple and Steve Jobs, from what I've read, heard, and watched? He was 100% about "function first!". He'd go ballistic if simple functionality was hard to get at, or missing, or buggy, or incomprehensible.

Yup, he wanted form to look good. But that came on top of proper, perfect function.

Which is its own beauty.
Lots of people game on the LG C1. 55in is $1300ish.
Funny you should mention that in this thread. You can map caps lock to forward delete. Trust me it will change your life.
Java the language? Very likely not. As proof - a majority of Clojure runs in JavaScript without any code changes (via ClojureScript). That said exceptions tend to look like Java classes, so you’ll definitely see Java bits.

Java the JVM? You _probably_ don’t need to know it to get started, but you’ll have to get familiar with JVM deployment, dependency management, packaging, JVM memory settings, etc if you want to run something outside your dev machine. Getting to 90% here is pretty easy, but the last 10% (to me at least) tends to feel a lot more difficult that other languages.

As a small pro-tip: use jstack. I wish every language came with a jstack. It just dumps the stack traces of all threads of a program by pid.
I looked into getting a CAT (rugged) phone once, until I discovered how they don't get software updates.
That and people overstate and over interpret things.

There is nothing wrong with doing a study with faculty children. It is a great idea to get a bigger study done within a budget and timeframe. They write it up stating as much and their intelligent peers understand the caveats.

Unfortunately, the results are so exciting that it starts getting cited and taught by people who leave off the caveats. This is why it is important for someone to go back and follow up on the original experiment with new studies.
this was a lot of fun. thanks for sharing!
Do they even do anything in store anymore? When I bring it in they usually scratch their head, wipe the device, and try and charge me $450 to have the laptop mailed to a facility where it will have its logic board swapped out.
They are an indirect promotional arm. YT phone "reviews" are as useful as a video game "review". They are well-timed promotional content, and they generally can't say anything truly bad or else they jeopardize early access to demo units.
You're right, I probably should open it up and check the fuses before I put it out on the curb.
Maybe I'm remembering old tech, but doesn't that also have thousands of volts in it?
This is so obvious to me that I'm having trouble reading their post as anything but tongue-in-cheek.

But perhaps they were indeed being sincere?

EDIT: On review of their prior posts, it looks like they were.
Rude

> Money doesn't just disappear if you don't spend it, you need funds to live, not income.

It does. It's called inflation.

Don't be an asshole on the internet. There are bigger assholes on the internet and they can outwit your smart ass replies trying to belittle someone who hasn't been an asshole to you and was asking a genuine question.
Surely consumers also care about not being stalked / their real-time location given to third parties?
Where was it bought? Sending it back to Samsung may mean that you wanted them to cover it with their own warranty, unless you bought it directly from them and explicitly told them you want to have them fix the issue in accordance to the "Gewährleistungsrecht".

Having the seller (instead of the manufacturer) deal with this issue explicitly under the two-year "Gewährleistungsrecht", where the first six months it is up to the seller to prove that you are responsible for the damage (since 2022 it's now 1 year, if bought in 2022), may yield a better result.

I can't imagine having the phone in the pocket together with a grain of sand would qualify as neglectful behavior? My phone has very tiny scratches probably because of sand in the pocket, but this is to be expected and not a problem to the phone, it can handle this without problems. So having phones in the pockets together with a grain of sand should be no issue. Is there such a warning in the manual?

"Facebook’s systems determined that you were going too fast when taking an action. You must significantly slow down. You are engaging in behaviour that may be considered annoying or abusive by other users."

So, I, like the author, I have a problem with trying to assess whether to give service to a user based on profiling their use-cadence of the machine (not with limitations meant to manage the service's bandwidth like we have here on HN, mind you). Is there anything we can do to outlaw or at least discourage this practice?
I'm trying to grok quantum computing, all the way down to the electronics. Watch/read lots of stuff over my head, until some little detail fits with my world view, then go back and watch/read stuff again... slowly figuring it all out.

I have a really good mental model of superposition. I'm pretty sure I understand quantum annealing. I'm working on the bloch sphere and quantum gates.

Once I'm sure I understand things, I'll write up some code to simulate it, and then see if that code matches up with the stuff already out there, result wise.

I'm consciously guarding my ignorance of how it is simulated, lest I fall into the same mode of thinking about it as everyone else.

I think I can simulate quantum annealing with an almost trivial amount of code.
I thought you were thinking of countries like Thailand that has different numbering for the years.

[0] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Date_and_time_notation_in_Thai...

> Thailand mainly uses the Buddhist calendar, in which the calendar's epochal date (Year zero) was the year in which the Buddha attained parinibbāna. This places the current year at 543 years ahead of the Gregorian calendar. The year 2022 CE is indicated as 2565 BE in Thailand. Despite adopting ISO 8601, Thai official date is still written in D/M/YYYY formats, such as 30 January 2565 BE (2022 CE) or 30/1/2565.
Looks great. PC monitors should be made like this.
If lowercase letters aren’t permitted at all, then surely your technical drawing app would just shift everything to uppercase automatically (or at least provide an option to do so)?
I'm on a pretty small team, we don't have enough people or time to do a robust interview process, but we started contracting devs for a week before hiring them, and it has been a much better experience than any interview I could have done in 1-2 hours. Plus, they get paid and we get a little bit of work done even if things don't work out.
Yes, that's the implication of Sagan's quote! Nobody can be trusted to always be right; there are only people with different probabilities of being right on various subjects. Their words are Bayesian evidence of finite strength.
Mostly only for interop, which unfortunately includes the language itself. Normal usage you shouldn’t have to care. But if you get internal stack traces you’re gonna be learning about the various Map implementations etc, all of which are defined in Java. Significantly easier to trace than machine code though!
Not really, it seems bright enough to me. I have bright Australian sunshine coming in the window of my office and I can still see it absolutely fine (the sun does not hit the screen directly, I will add).

Doesn't blasting more nits at your eyeballs cause more strain? I'm asking this out of ignorance, I have no real idea, a display that's too dim seems likely to cause this as well.

I can definitely see more brightness being great for gaming and media consumption/creation. But for coding? Not sure I'm there, and I'm certainly not looking to spend $2k on a screen, when that can buy a pretty good, much larger TV!
> Oh, and to top it all off: this WiFi printer does not have Ethernet, so it's situated right next to the router interfering on the 2.4GHz band with its useless WiFi Direct thing. I have no idea how to turn that off. It's one problem after another.

disassemble it and cut off the antenna. or ground it with a piece of a wire. or both.
Or, Pournelle's iron law of bureaucracy.

+ they reinstall apps with major updates

+ the shitshow called Galaxy Store that you mandatory have to visit if you care about security updates always greets me with a dialog that suggests to install some game _and_ I have to opt-out for _every_ game.
I don't know any real world example were you can be forced to watch an ad before something broken gets fixed. That only works in the (virt.) environment of a quasi monopoly.
> typing in all caps was the only way to make something bold

Thinking of it, with modern messaging apps that support text formatting, it would be useful to have dedicated caps-lock-style keys for bold, italic, monospace, etc.
Gosh. I hate Apple’s right to repair BS, but to this day Apple remains the only consumer electronics company that has provided a consistently positive technical support experience for me.

It’s so hard to step out the Apple ecosystem when these other manufacturers have consistently screwed me over with repairs.

I’m specifically calling out Dell, Samsung and LG here. All were utterly terrible experiences.

Dell was the absolute worst though. They sold me a $1,700+ XPS notebook that months later had a non-functional trackpad, and they refused to do anything to rectify the situation. With an investment that large I need certainty that I can get support, and thus far Apple is the only PC OEM that has provided that.

If anyone can suggest non-Apple OEMs that at least provide a competitive support experience, I’m all ears.
If it hasn't, is that my fault?
Lowering the temperature of the bedroom also helps a lot. I've been sleeping at 18º C, but some doctors say that about 20º C is a good temperature (I prefer a little colder).
The Open Group's study into LP64/ILP64 explains their choice fairly well. In particular, it mentions both Digital and SGI's prior experience with porting code to LP64. There's nothing about SCO's preferences in it.

http://archive.opengroup.org/public/tech/aspen/lp64_wp.htm

"By far, the largest body of existing code already modified for 64-bit environments runs on LP64 based platforms."
Nope. They have a utility to test the battery capacity. They check your claim first and someone decides.
I had a horrible experience with Samsung plasma TV about 7 years ago. TV cracked in front of my eyes - it went from completely fine to having a huge 'spider web' crack right in the middle.
Samsung support claimed it was physical damage; After extensive research i found multiple other people who had the same problem. These TVs were extremely fragile, a slight impact could cause a tiny non-visible breakage; And then due to the heat generated during normal operation this tiny breakage could progressively turn into a cracked screen.
At the time, Samsung's determination seemed like an extreme injustice... i filed multiple complaints with consumer protection services. Samsung people reached out and after a few weeks of 'passionate' phone conversations they agreed to refund the cost of repairs provided that i sign off that it was 'indeed' physical damage (obviously i did that).

I never bought a Samsung product after that; But that TV still works :).

As for phones, i am still using iphone SE 1st gen. Simplicity, beauty, and absolutely perfect one handed operation on this phone has not been matched still. Which tells you everything you need to know about phone 'innovation'.
That's why I've copied all of the 2FA codes from my phone to my iPad. You REALLY need some sort of redundancy to avoid a single-point-failure catastrophe.
Why not just hold down one of the Shift keys while typing? That should be faster, considerably once underscores are involved, requiring only slight adjustments to typing technique, to use a ring finger where you would normally use a pinky.

(This is a genuine question, because I’m confused why one wouldn’t do it that way—I think it probably never even occurred to me to use Caps Lock for such a purpose, given that the modeless Shift key was right there.)
> you get to play with something that might be cool, and you get bragging rights

How is this remotely like the life changing effect of getting a radio or tv?
> E-Mails are unencrypted and can be intercepted

Hu, yes they are. I don't think there's still non ssl mail transport nowadays.

> gpg as encryption isn't worth anything when everybody has your public key and/or sent it before via an unencrypted transport layer.

Interesting how a grammatically correct English sentence can have 0 meaning.
It's sad that more apps don't have a “power user mode” hidden somewhere in settings, which would give you the choice.
My experience with ClojureScript is you absolutely have to know the host environment because you will encounter type errors and the maintainers have negative interest in making them clear to users (as in flatly refused offers to contribute changes to make those errors easier to understand).
> It compresses better with new lines than if you remove them all (given you could just split on every 5 characters later), which is an odd quirk of compression algorithms that my brain will never quite grasp.

New lines give a usable context (namely the word boundary) to compression algorithms. If I give you an arbitrary unsorted list of 5-letter-long words with no delimiters you need to think harder to figure out that it is indeed a list of 5-letter-long words. Same for the compression algorithm.

> My best algorithm attempt + Brotli achieved 12,773 bytes, which is a painfully close 542 bytes away. It is 13,181 bytes raw though, and can technically be used in-memory, which is definitely a perk.

Yeah, the best solution depends on what you want to do with that. Your estimation is not too far from my experience: Roadroller tends to be on par with or slightly smaller than Brotli. Of course, Roadroller exists because web browsers generally don't provide a way to use Brotli in JS ;-)
I'm a German native speaker, and I still sometimes get tripped up by things like it being spelled "Flannel" in English, but "Flanell" in German.
I mostly worked with Javascript and Python, never touched Java. Depends what you do. But generally no, Java knowledge is not required.
