I just saw the Samsung S22 and it looks kinda like an iPhone 13, very solid build, comparably compact, it would actually be a good device if it weren't for the fact that the moment you unlock it they trip an e-fuse to make sure you can't use certain things. Sony used to wipe the drm keys to brick the camera on their phones.

I had a samsung active2 watch. It advertised ECG, which didn't materialize until almost 2 years after the device was launched. When it finally got released you were only allowed to use that feature if the device was paired to a samsung phone.

For the longest time Samsung Pay was showing ads inside the app, like some random third party play store app.

Then, one day, I decided to go for a swim and the watch crashes, the speaker sucks water on boot and the device bricks. No button combination allows you to turn off the device without the touch screen. Even though it was an issue for the (IP68 rated) device samsung wanted to charge me $180 to repair it. Basically the price of a new watch 1.5 years ago.

Nowadays I look at Sony and Samsung devices and think, man such great looking devices, but wouldn't touch with a 10 foot pole.

EDIT: some people say that in the EU they cannot lock you out of warranty for rooting the device, because non hardware modifications are not cause for warranty removal. But I haven't tried that, so I don't know.
I’m 33 yo. I’ve tried snowboarding for the first time last year. I’m pretty athletic. I had some basis from skateboarding. My heel edge was perfect by my toe edge not so much.

While practicing my toe edge, my board got stuck in the snow. I fell on my back and hit the back of my head on the packed snow. I had a mild concussion.

Never doing that again.

I wonder if skyiing is safer with respect to head injures.
Not a depression, just an absence of a deeper meaning for life, general „drive“ for it
Well, that isn't specific to Trudeau. Most people their actions aren't consistent with their words.

People say all kinds of things without really having a vision or philosophy behind it. It's just how they feel at that particular moment. Unfortunately most societies offer more reward for easy answers and saying what people want to hear then staying consistent.
The augmented reader I created a while ago just hit 20k monthly readers, a small achievement I wanted to share. I know it is a low number but considering that I have not invested or promoted the site in any way it is still a good result for me. I had shared the site on HN (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24006339) and received some criticism which I used to improve the interface.

With this post I would like to receive an additional round of comments and feedback. Thanks in advance to anyone who will comment.

Brian essentially calls the agencies incompetent, steals a concept from an agency that wasn’t hired, and minimizes the contributions of the agency was hired.

That’s disrespect worth being addressed.
> but unless you are exceedingly careful doing so increases entropy

In an isolated system, entropy can only increase. Moving at all heats up the air. Even if you are exceedingly careful, you increase entropy when doing any useful work.
The common part is WebKit - you can say they're both WebKit, but not that they're both Chrome.
But the language can't prove that. In the paper they show that it thinks the output is mixed until you add a manual assertion telling it to simulate the thing to check.
Which is especially funny if you know that Xeros copiers do not actually create perfect copies, because they compress to jbig2 internally and thereby introduce lossy compression artifacts such as O to 0 replacements.
Their entire argument for this also applying outside the military domain seems to be that the military is a very large employer…

That seemed a bit shaky to me as well. You could just as well argue that people who are happy to go to war end up earning more medals. Happiness inside of the military is not the same as happiness in the workplace in general.
Really interesting you say that.

In Melbourne, where I am (~10% church attendance rates, most left-wing/liberal city in Australia), I see the same thing from liberal atheists.

As soon as these arbiters of morality see a friend or colleague in need, they have nothing but platitudes about mental health or mindfulness followed by a rapidly-constructed mental wall.

It wasn't until two coworkers from Brisbane experienced this, one of whom was very open about how her experience her differed to tough times back home, that I realised how fucked up it all is.

Just $450? Pfft. 10 years back I had an issue with an overheating MacBook Pro (within warranty) and because they couldn't reproduce it with their tests they offered a replacement board for about 850€ (parts only). Turns out changing the thermal paste (by myself) solved the issue completely.
For phones, Apple is notably much better than Samsung.
What are your favourite conversations about?

(I enjoy abstract conversations about optimistic directions for technology -- although it often involves invoking and talking about -- joking about, if possible -- all of the possible dystopias to avoid along the way. we seem to be dipping our toes into almost all of the latter nowadays, but I tend to believe that doing that also helps expose the nature of the problems more clearly for a wider audience. I also really enjoy bicycle adventures despite rarely being that well prepared for them. recently I spent an hour on a hill "modifying" a front rim to accept a Schraeder valve rather than a Presta valve after suffering a flat and bringing the wrong kind of spare innertube with me; typical)
Folding screen breaks in the crease. I'm shocked! Shocked. Well, not that shocked.
Germany should never have shut down many of its nuclear plants to become reliant on Russian gas. Buildout of new nuclear and SMR as soon as possible, and declaring nuclear as green energy should be prioritised. Wind and solar is not enough to stabilise the grid without storage technology.

My girlfriend in 2016 had a brand new Samsung that sometimes made a lot of noise, as if the shock-breakers were busted (it was standing on the floor correctly). She called the Samsung service, in the Netherlands they advertise with a really nice service where the mechanic will come to your house for service. They asked her a hundred questions, and after 15 minutes she was done with it and put the phone down. That situation made me angry and I called and answered diligently all the questions for about half an hour to make sure that a mechanic would show up. Apparently they play a game on the phone by putting up such a barrier for service, just to save some money. I told her to never buy a Samsung again and also tell her friends that.
Introduction to Cryptography
That's a cheap jab at GitHub. You only get a file master.zip if you download the latest snapshot of that branch. If you download a proper release, you will get an archive with the release name.
For "Flannel" and "Flanell", it makes a surprising amount of sense when you then look at the pronounciation. The English word is stressed on the first syllable, like "FLANnel", which makes the N sound longer, whereas Germans say "flaNELL", which makes the final L sound longer.
> It is hard for Clojure to compete with other tech stacks, primarily because each method call in Clojure goes through Java reflection which is pretty slow.

That's not true. Clojure functions calling each other do not use reflection. It is only when interoping with Java, and trying to call a Java member method of an object that reflection might be used if there are multiple concrete implementation of the method and the compiler can't find the right one at compile time. In which case, you can provide a type hint to tell it which one you want.
Very interesting, and definitely unusual, analysis of programming languages. I never had thought of programming languages in an ecological way, but after reading the post it makes total sense. Hopefully newer and more efficient languages will come up also bringing efficiency in the functional side (like electric cars, for instance).
> American bees are confined to the websters dictionary rather than the oxford

Noah Webster literally codified, and partially invented, American spelling—whereas Oxford's dictionary is a symbol of traditional British spelling. It's patently ridiculous to suggest that US spelling contests use a British spelling reference.
2.5B euros seems substantial. Everyone is looking at revenue, but it’s probably a very significant portion of their profits in the Netherlands. Revenue is a terrible indicator.
To be fair, there's a psychology paper from the late fifties that suggests this approach. Much like the early days of double descent, this didn't attract the attention it deserved at the time.
The code is open source (https://github.com/GabrielePicco/hacker-news-rich) and some useful tips have been integrated into the interface over time (e.g., collapsible comments)
It's not without precedent either; due to printing presses, the English alphabet lost the letters Eth (ð), Thorn (þ), Wynn (ƿ), Yogh (ȝ), Ash (æ) and Ethel (œ), to be replaced with phonetically similar letters (like th) or just sort-of-similar-looking replacements (ð replaced by y, as in "ye olde", which is pronounced "the old", or ȝ replaced by z like in "Cockenzie", pronounced "Cockennie" or "Dalziel" pronounced "Deeyel").
This shouldn't be downvoted. Lard is an excellent cooking fat that's been needlessly maligned.
Most likely not valid.

What was the external enclosure?

You need an ATX 3.3V rail that has a 15ms hold up time and whatever other sequencing these devices were designed for.

The buck converter in a USB enclosure isn't going to cut it for a valid test.
The author of the article has written a book on essentially this principle (although Allan Downey did get there first).

The book is called Regression and Other Stories.
Why are we assuming that short term changes in share price have anything to do with underlying fundamentals?

Meta prints money. They brought in $40B in net income off of $115B in revenue last year. Income attributable to Facebook + WhatsApp + Instagram doubled from 2019 to 2021. They spend more on research and development than they do on expenses attributable to their core business.

Yes, they're no longer growing. That was going to happen eventually. Yes, they're going to be targeted by extensive regulatory action. Yes, they're losing space - and users - to competitors.

It's going to take a lot to kill them off. The social media scene changes fast and they're going into decline, but it doesn't change the fact that Meta is an extremely large advertising company with a lot of money and talent. This isn't MySpace 2.0.

A $380B market valuation was likely unreasonable. A $200B market valuation for a company that earns $40B a year and is used by more than a third of the global population sounds very reasonable.
Well, first of all, that's not how it works.
When Crimea was occupied, people were going on with their lives.
When separatists stormed into government buildings, in other parts of Ukraine people were going on with their lives — except for those who volunteered in the army.

No internet would happen only if Russia will bombard the infrastructure.
What if they just invade eastern regions, why don't it qualify as invasion? They literally stated that they do not recognise the sovereignty of Ukraine on their government channel by their highest official.

People are going on about their lives — because they have nowhere to go, there is nothing they can do, why is this so hard to comprehend?
Kyiv looks half-deserted, there is easily two times less cars on the road, and there is much less people on the streets, everyone buying matches and candles.
People are scared.

In two days, 4 army Ukrainian army members have been killed by shelling.
Thanks for making this. Hope it helps people discover the joy of Clojure :)!

I've built my SaaS in Clojure and ClojureScript and really enjoy working with it every day since 2019!
Indeed, they could. But they don't have the structures in place to act it.
A NATO alliance that is an American puppet and following American interests is dangerous for the stability in Europe. Europe should take more responsibility for it's own safety.
If you’re old time desktop user you wouldn’t have to look for these keys, they’re at the same place for decades. Heck, I even don’t know which combination I’m pressing to go to the begining of page or line, that’s muscle memory at this point.

That said, I acknowledge that you have your own prefered way, and that’s how it should be. As it also should be that these extra keys exist at least on bigger laptops, if not on ultraportables.
I use them too, they're really useful for programming and general text editing.

I would love to believe this is true, and I think that theoretically it's super important, but I've never had success with this in practical applications.

Ah, Math.random for generating credentials. In 25 separate function calls.

NSFW is used as a blanket warning for anything that may be offensive, triggering, haunting or traumatizing, not necessarily work. NSFL is also often used (not safe for life). Basically anything that people could go "I wish I hadn't read / seen that" at. Another one to use is CW, for content warning, followed by what it contains.

But I'm sure you know all of that. The warning is not for you personally, you may disregard it.
It's not kohirnt when kohirnt rhymes with burned. You need the e in kohirent.

You can't resolve the vowel distribution by remapping it, so keep some vouwels in the woerld…

Otherwise look good / ok'ish to me. (no /s)

I really like the gud trend by streamers to overpronounce words so they match their spelling again, e.g. say of-ten for often etc.
I hope you don’t believe the other flags have the same aspect ratio.
That sounds like someone that has confidence and curiosity.

In Dutch we have a word "relativeren" which I think loosely translates to "being able to put things in perspective". I think that is a really important super power. It has helped me immensely whenever things got bad, or I got into a depressing mood.

I'm not sure how you can "grow" these attributes, but I'm willing to say that travelling, seeing the world, discovering other people, other cultures, other habits probably contributes a great deal. Having open-minded parents and an education that doesn't stigmatise helps a lot too.
i mean, the past couple of years as seen massive uptake of qr codes (at least in the uk) - restaurants, train/cinema tickets, nfts, payments, postage

I don't have any problems with Twitter threads. Why don't you like them? I can consume them easily on mobile and on my desktop.

On the other hand I think apps that unroll threads are the worst. All the spammy answers just saying "@threadreaderapp" or something like that - THAT is the worst in my eyes.

Nothing against blog posts, I'd also prefer a blog post over a Twitter thread.
Yes, it is. AsciiDoc was created to have a more usable syntax for the DocBook XML standard, which is about semantic markup for tech books (originally from O'Reilly).
It's disappointing that some very clever and interesting people now write posts (exclusively?) on twitter.
This means that many people, like myself, cannot read them (for non-technical reasons).

I have a couple of solutions to this:

The first is very low-tech. If you post a twitter link please copy/paste the tweet into a HN comment.

The second is please simul-post your tweets to your personal blog. Of course this requires extra effort, but it could be alleviated by making a twitter client which provides simul-posting. Although such a client is probably against corp-law.

As more people are making informative tweets, we are locking too much valuable information away behind the tweet-wall.

I think this is an important post and am glad [whyoh] has raised the general topic.
Yeah, like your bootstrap estimate of max or min will be pretty crap. Works well for central tendencies though.
I would love to visit the middle-east (especially Egypt, so many cool ruins!) but as a gay man I refuse to support any country that persecutes people, whether it's women or minorities or anybody really.

Stoning, hanging and imprisoning people like me is a surefire way to not get my tourism dollars. Unfortunately, not many people feel the same way.
Yes, that was a dumb mistake on my part
> They're a slimy company made up of unscrupulous people trying to squeeze every last drop out of every rock.

Unfortunately, i find it hard in this day and age to find a hardware manufacturer that's not abusive. Do you know of a hardware manufacturer that has a reasonable warranty policy, makes it easy to repair the hardware (no screws or standard screws, definitely no glue), publishes datasheets (specs) and does not lock the bootloader?

I think when it comes to mobile phones, Fairphone Librem and Pinephone are the only three that get close, but none of them checks all the boxes. I'm all ears for suggestions, whether it's for phones, networking equipment, or whatever.
I strongly recommend helmets for all snowsports, both skiing and snowboarding. I've personally witnessed (and experienced) head injuries with both.

The benefit of snowboarding is that you are much less likely to have a horrific injury like a major leg bone shattering. Most injuries tend to be cracked tail bones or broken wrists. With the latter, you can learn to fall correctly and that minimises the risk. Essentially you want to fall on your arm, and then roll onto your shoulders and back instead of taking your entire weight on your hands.
Numerous Samsung electronics and appliances purchases have disappointed badly.

(Several of those by other household / family members and/or friends, after I'd sworn off the company.)

On my "never again" list.
Some, possibly many of the people who bought these phones were totally willing beta-testers. Some people are just excited about a new piece of technology and have the means to drop upwards of $1500 on it just for kicks.
Most posters on Hacker News doesn't strike me as particularly happy, yet I know they are among the most brilliant hackers in the world.

> Retain employees who are happy. The pandemic has reminded us of some tough realities, namely that organizations can contract in turbulent times just as fast as they expand when the economy is booming.

In other words, fire those that are unhappy. The bottom line is more important. Compassion is apparently not a useful trait among business executives. People say there is a stigma around depression. I wonder why...
Probably not what you are looking for but might be worth it

Hey thanks for this. Yeah I'm a bit cowboyish in that regard haha. I'll turnout off when I go to put it out into the world for real.

For now I'm really appreciating the feedback I'm getting (only started working on this 4 nights ago).
What do you mean by keep it simple? SwiftUI isn't a part of the Swift language.
It's even in the manuals for some enterprise products.
Enterprise drives with PLP (power loss protection) are surprisingly affordable. I would absolutely choose them for workstation / home use.

The new Micron 7400 Pro M.2 960GB is $200, for example.

Sure, the published IOPS figures are nothing to write home about, but drives like these 1) hit their numbers every time, in every condition, and 2) can just skip flushes altogether, making them much faster in uses where data integrity is important (and flushes would otherwise be issued).
The only notifications I have on are SMS, missed calls, WhatsApp (mostly from my children), Canterbury Cathedral youtube for morning prayer, and my own reminders in TickTick.
You don't have to go fast.

I rather enjoy going slow through deep powder off-piste, especially on a day with good views.

It's like driving cars. You can race cars through suburban roads, or take a scenic drive and have a picnic.
Because the high quality mosaics are actually quite expensive and just making a photocopy maybe looks cheap and not very inspiring without the cultural context.
I have galaxy s7. I don't get why I cannot remove apps like "Samsung Health", "Samsung Internet", "Samsung Members", etc. I constantly pushed with updates on these, and all I can do is flaging the updates as inappropriate.
Sometimes I think of URLs as being a building block of effective modern communication - long may they continue. Used carefully they can provide context, strengthen arguments, open windows of thought, and provide historical reference (clearly worth a shout-out to archive.org for helping with that last category, too).

Stable, unchanging URLs (at least in terms of the content they address) are better than ones that may shift, and there's something about a hierarchy of origin in there too (in other words: if possible, link to the original source/paper/etc instead of an article -- unless the language used there isn't reasonably comprehensible for the intended audience).
For laptops, Lenovo are ... just barely, and only on some product lines, holding that reputation.

System76 and Framework seem to have this reputation. I've yet to buy from them, but they're on my list of potential vendors.

Fairphone, Librem, and Pine, similarly.

I'd look to Louis Rossman for reviews and recommendations.
> Its less convenient this way - we need to pull out a wireless keyboard & mouse to watch netflix. But I think its the right call for sure.

There are some wireless keyboards that looks like a remote, but with qwerty keys on the back, a touchpad / air mouse, and IR blaster with programmable key so you can ditch the original tv remote.

There is also an IR module you can hook into homeassistant to act as universal remote, so you can ditch all remotes and use your phone to control everything via homeassistant.
