I maintain this chart of small Android phones, maybe it helps:

https://www.productchart.com/smartphones/small_android_phone...

You can move the "RAM" slider to 3GB which will show the phones that have 3GB or more. And the screen slider to your desired size. A height of 140mm means the phone would have a display size of roughly 5 or 6 inches.

For the USA, it gives me 90 phones with 3GB and up to 6 inches.

I wonder about the trust aspect of CISAs vulnerability scanning offers towards businesses. Do business owners jump at the opportunity to take advantage of this? I don’t see it.

It’d be beneficial but I wonder if the general sentiment would caution against a federal agency sniffing out vulnerabilities.
Haha, I saw that. Terrible value proposition compared to the 4a. Lose headphone jack, gain IP68, wireless charging, but pay a bunch more for it.
If you have access to the gym: Dumbbell Pull-Over, Farmer's Walk, Rack Pull, Planks. But most importantly, don't give up. Lifting weights can help you more than you think. I've had issues that I thought would never go away, but they did. It took a lot of experimentation until I found out what works for me, and those exercises might not necessarily work for you, but some other will.
I primarily use Windows 7 as my OS with Firefox as a browser, I do use Avast free version and have been using it for last 10 years.

In last few years, virus and malware have been rare for me. Firefox blocks most of the tracking scripts and avast do stop any phishing or malware javascripts.

I personally prefer to not upgrade to windows 10/11 and Windows 7 is serving my purpose well, all the software I use/download are either from official website or from github release archives. My documents have scripts and macros disabled by default. I keep eye on every startup items, background processes and any unwanted resource hogging processes.

I tried to switch to linux for this purpose, but I needed to hack many configs and find drivers with updates. So, I went back with windows 7.

I asked this question so many times. For a long a time I was a big fan of the Xperia Z Compact line... Now, Sony also stopped making these smaller phones...

I switched to Pixel 5 recently. I am happy with it, the main reason I wanted/liked the smaller phones so I could reach everything with my thumb and I could use the phone with one hand.

The advantage of Pixel 5 (and other newer phones) is that they are very thin, so it is easier to hold in one hand. The other thing that just got introduced with Android 12 is the one-handed mode, that I use a lot. With these two things in mind I have to say, I don't mind the size of the phone.
There are some tricks on Linux. For example using mv into a trash dir instead of rm. I’ve also seen some successful use of rsync that does real deletion many times faster than rm -rf, not sure why but guessing some parallelism is involved.

Google for this problem. There are surprisingly many creative ideas, many which also surprisingly are a lot better than the built in rm command.

I find the best antidote to boredom when lifting weights is to find the right weight and number of reps so that you're pushing through the burn for at least a third of the set. Hard to stay bored when your arms are on fire. Music is the other major component, you have to really amp yourself up and listening to music can put you in that mind set. Maybe even doing some circuit training would be better for you since you don't have to deal with long wait times between sets.

Out of pure curiosity, in what context do you write sufficient amounts of Bash scripts that style checking is a worry that needs your attention? While I also write small one-offs or bootstrap scripts here and there, in most cases it's my experience that developers opt for other languages for anything beyond small snippets.
Good points, and all easily manageable via a few adjustments to the rule.

If it's cporn or other felony content, then fine, shut it all off.

For anything else, allow download only from the last three IP addresses the owner personally logged in from, plus two (if they've moved or are nomadic), plus maybe the same two or three last logged-in-from MAC addresses. Limit to three successful copies downloaded, then shut off.

Alternatively, if you still think that zero future sharing through their site must be the rule, then at least provide the content on a media copy at a nominal fee such as [cost of media]+ [50% service charge] + postage.

Finding fault is the easiest thing in the world. But if you apply your brain to finding a solution instead of merely a problem, things work better.
These are the wild west days of crypto finance. Fortunes will be made and lost. There’s hype, fads, bubbles, and spectacular blowouts. The crypto finance tech ecosystem will evolve, consolidate, then eventually be diluted and homogenized into standard investment frameworks, and tamed by onerous oversight and regulations. In the meantime, if you can’t resist the urge to place a bet then don’t bet more than you can afford to lose without regret.
Well, the probability that anyone whose job is software development has committed something in the past month is close to 1, IMHO. For everyone else in the company it's 0.
Unfortunately this seems to have changed very recently. Not sure the cause, but there's been a sudden and complete loss of quality in Cadbury products, including Dairy Milk, in Ireland. Chocolate tastes like Nestle now. As discussed (repeatedly) on the Ireland subreddit - https://www.reddit.com/r/ireland/search?q=Cadbury%27s+shite&...
To me, the biggest difference is that people reacted as individuals or as two individuals interacting.

No one would send out a group email to talk about Bill Clinton and form some kind of group consensus opinion. I think the start of this though was conservative talk radio and the in-group that formed in relation to the "liberal" out-group it promoted. Before that people were individuals deciding their personal stance on an issue to issue basis.

There really should be no surprise that once 99% of interaction is in the context of a groups that everything becomes dominated by in-group and out-groups.

The conservative use of the pejorative "liberal" to form an out-group though was just so poisonous and set a process in motion that once started can't really be stopped. Then once social networks come about it was basically over for the individual.

Millions of individuals are impossible to control but groups no so much. So here we are and I don't see any reason for optimism other than to enjoy your life now.

The future is more and more suspicion and surveillance of the individual by the group.

There are actually two possibilities here:

(1) The text of the GPLv2 does legitimately restrict user programs as derivative works of the kernel, and therefore a license exception is needed from the licensors in order avoid violating the license or copyright law.

(2) User programs are not legitimately derivative works of the kernel, and therefore a license exception is not required, and anything said on the subject is mere commentary about the prevailing legal state of affairs.

In my opinion, the idea that user programs are - in general - derivative works of the kernel is nonsense, but for people who worry that they are or might be, the clarification or exception (whichever) is quite convenient. A court is not going to enforce a requirement on the licensees that the licensors and copyright holders explicitly deny and disavow, no matter what any third party thinks about the subject.

The situation with in kernel modules is more complicated, because there the licensor copyright holders appear to be convinced that nearly any kernel module is legitimately classified as a derivative work, so estoppel doesn't apply and whether a kernel module is actually a derivative work depends such things as how much kernel inline code was included in the compilation process, if not other apparent legal nonsense like compatibility and purpose which appears to have no basis in copyright law as something that in and of itself makes for a derivative work at all.
It's interesting to see all the same conversations happening around VR exercise as there was about Wii Fit. And it's the same split, those who find it useful for consistently doing light exercise, and those who criticise it because it isn't as effective as lifting weights or some "proper" gym/fitness routine
Docker, the company, didn't play very nice with the open-source community (ignoring pull requests from certain people, designing docker around just swarm and ignoring other use-cases, etc), so the ecosystem moved on.
OTH everything else also got wider: opcodes are 16 bits instead of 8 bit and immediates are 16 or 32 bits. If the 'benchmark' can work mostly with 8-bit numbers and within the 6502's zero page, 8- vs 16-bit data bus width shouldn't make much of a difference.

I am not sure I would describe any of this as benign. Spamming multiple SaaS services, generating websites containing solely AI generated junk and ads, in an attempt to profit off the sales of extremely dubious products does not meet the definition of benign in my mind.
> I am not claiming that running on an OS is the same as dynamically linking with a library

In pretty much any case, it literally is: you're dynamically linking against the libc. This is a little fuzzier on Linux (because, as you mention, multiple libc implementations exist), but on Windows, macOS, and the BSDs, the only supported way to make syscalls is to make calls into a dynamically linked libc, provided by the operating system.
Can you show how you calculated that?
The effort required to do anything besides low level utils in C is immense. And once you have it working, how do you know it's correct? You have to carefully review it.

You could write and rewrite everything multiple times in a high level language with that much work.

C libraries break all the time. They change them whenever they want. The standard lib and language might be stable but the large frameworks aren't.

It doesn't seem at all suitable for large application programs.

I do sometimes worry that one day my Python code won't run and 5 year projects will become useless. But so far, popular language aren't showing any sign of going away.
As the sibling comment says, the 999 mechanical engineers will not train anybody. So it is still: one person trained replaces one person working.

People with PhDs can already work on more than just scientific positions, so it is not a huge problem that we are producing too many. As you say, we should be more honest about career changes. I don't think we need hugely many professorships either. But we should open up the hiring pool. If professors do more and more admin work anyway as their career progresses, why do you need 15+ years experience and personal connections to do that job? In industry, you have the other extreme: MBAs with no knowledge about the subject matter get hired as managers.

And if most of the labor is done by master and PhD students, why not open up the scientific hiring pool to people from other specializations or from outside academia? I would say my postdoc and research time was maximally 10% thinking about physics, 30% coding, 30% writing papers, 30% data analysis (and 20 bonus % meetings and people skill). You could easily train a good developer or engineer in a year to do this, about the same time I needed to get up to speed with the topic.

So yeah, there is a shortage of positions. But to fix that, you need a lot more funding (and honestly I'm not sure it makes sense if society allocates too much more resources to research. A bit, certainly, but I'd allocate more to health care, primary education, etc. first.)

But the second problem is the baroque way to get a career in science. To fix that, you'd need to start hiring like a tech company. And this could actually make the competition worse, but you would be selecting for the best, and not for the people who make the most personal concessions for their career.
> ... malloc() returns a pointer to sequentially-addressable bytes ...

malloc () doesn't return even that. It returns 'void *' which isn't of much use without a further upcast. The required upcast, and the rest that follows, is the coder's own idea of what happens.
Largely same sentiment. Pure POSIX shell scripts for embedded systems, sure, but I'm not sure if there is a niche that requires Bash scripting. Not discouraging these efforts of course but I'm not sure that it'll be worth it.
Aren't you making it sound a bit too easy and straightforward than it actually is? It might be that simple for you but buying a NAS device like from synology can be pricey too, setting it all up so it is secure but network accessible, and then also handling possible drive failures down the line (and the chances of that are much higher than google fucking you over IMHO) is much more than an average non-tech-savvy user would be interested in.

There is certainly no need to have an atomic clock in each everyday device.

However, when you own one atomic clock, which you can use to calibrate all quartz resonators and many other kinds of devices used for measurement, then that is one less dependency of the outside world.

Some people like to be as independent as possible.

As long as you don't have your own atomic clock, you are dependent of Internet or other communication means and of access to institutions that do have atomic clocks, to synchronize and calibrate your devices.
That’s the one I immediately thought of.

Purely for interest, but for me, the really interesting part was flipping between the OilSlick and Terrain maps, picking out the way that the landscape dedicated the roads, etc, which while visible, doesn't stand out in the same way on conventional maps. As such, if you do any enhancements to the mapping, I'd request the ability to overlay road/rail/major towns over the OilSlick map, but obviously that's without the least idea of what that might actually entail!

I loved the 4" iPhone form factor (5, 5S, 5C, 2016 SE), and was really looking forward to the iPhone 12 mini.

But the reason I like small phones is because I don't use mine all day, and when I do, I want to do it with one hand. The iPhone mini line is too large for that, and costs almost twice as much as the 2020 iPhone SE. I think the mini series is simply a bad deal.

(And that's before I get into my rant about the terrible PWM flicker on OLED iPhones.)

I wouldn't agree that it is a terrible value (but I might be biased, because I have it). I think the 4a has a great value, but you wouldn't get the extras you get cheaper anywhere else.

And I don't mind the missing headphone jack. Also, I just have my one and only USB port covered, so I am on full wireless mode with it.

There was a pretty decent Scrabble available for the ZX Spectrum - around 41k for vocab + code. I always imagined that must have used a fairly ingenious compression mechanism for its dictionary, especially given the types of fairly open searching it would need to do.
It's the budget line though. Is it small because they want it to be small, or because they're re-using the iPhone 8 tooling, which happened to be small(er)?

I still think the fact they're discontinuing their non-budget small offering is pretty significant. If there was a significant market, they would have kept it. Also, presumably, they have better margins on the mini than on the SE so you would expect them to keep the former if possible.
These "clocks" are used more like stopwatches. They're useful for doing incredibly precise science experiments.

The added timing precision translates into better precision of other measurements like distance if you're doing time-of-flight experiments like OPERA did[1].

I built a multi-plane camera setup in high school for an animation project in, without knowing it was a thing used in the industry.

My version was very simple. Instead of stacking the planes, I hung them from yardsticks spanned between two tables, so I could slide the planes forward toward the camera at different rates of speed.

Here is a short doc from Disney (1957) about the invention of the first multi plane camera:

Sophie Wilson's goal was to run BASIC at 6502 assembly speeds, and they couldn't do that with the processors they had available.

The first ARMs operated at ~4 MIPS, but of course they were 32 bits (registers and data bus), so they were a lot faster than the 68000 and the 6502.

Citing wikipedia: The ARM2 was roughly seven times the performance of a typical 7 MHz 68000-based.
That's why I stuck with an S4 for so long; there just wasn't a good replacement that met my requirements. I finally got an S10e a couple years ago, which has been pretty good. It's still a little bigger than I would like, but...
Many people want the larger phones for various reasons and many others don't seem to care. Those of us who want smaller phones seem to be a minority, so we don't get many options.

The GPL is a license that applies only to software code and not to the end-user software.

A book allegory is more like an author decides to embed the several chapters of one of Rowling's "Harry Potter" books verbatim in a fanfic novel. You could buy or download the novel and have every right to read it, lend it, or re-sell it but the original fanfic author is in copyright violation. If Rowling had published her books under something akin to the GPL, there might be a legal question as to what constitutes a "derived work" (and this is a real thing in the book publishing world, complete with legals precedents) but at every point the license to use the copyrighted characters, locations, etc. applies only to the author of the derived work, not to their readers.
I think we should really be working to deprecate large bash scripts. If you write enough to care about code quality you might want to just use Python.

I'd say look at things like Oil(Is that project ever going to be the next big thing like it claims?).... but writing large scripts in ANY shell doesn't seem like the best plan.

What about an Ansible linter? Do those exist? I'm starting to suspect Ansible might be a better choice for a lot of what people do with bash, even if you are running om a desktop.
