I have installed KoReader[1] on my Kobo device and loving it. Less clutter and more functions in every way. Plus it has a NATIVE integration with Wallabag - I read all my articles on my eReader.

I have no idea, I recognise them instinctively and just skip to the end. Nobody's talking about any of your red-herrings. The topic is a rate limit set high enough that no human could accidentally trigger it. Let's discuss that topic or agree not to discuss.

You mean most people don’t care about the battery life of a portable device?

You don’t care when a laptop sounds like a 747 when you are working under load?
The same pattern (lion with book vs. lion with sword) is still used today in the Italian maritime flags (civilian vs. navy). The navy flag also shows a crown above the shield.
Panasonic JZ OLED series is amazing. They released an update which has full working support for 4K 120hz VRR (useful for Xbox / gaming) .

I had been looking at Sony before that and saw that they had promised their users for a couple years to release the same 4k 120hz VRR update for a number of bravia models. to date they either didn't release it, or released flawed implementation. There were so many complaints online it steered me clear of Sony.

I then went into the store thinking to buy LG but Panasonic looked very nice. I watched a ton of reviews from HDTVtest on YouTube and took a gamble with the Panasonic. The calibration of the set is very much better than my old Samsung. Night and day.

In the end it was cheaper and I've been very happy.
Looks like someone needs the government's help to sort out their private, "decentralized" mess.
Agree. I used wallabag for years, but now I just use joplin and its webclipper for the same purpose and it works really well, including the sync over syncthing!
The only downside is that Joplin does not save the position where I stopped reading.
> You cannot control it or will it to be better

You certainly can. For example, drinking a single beer before going to sleep correlates not with shorter sleep, but much less deep sleep in my case. Just measuring the time asleep would tell me drinking doesn’t affect my sleep at all, which is not true.
Agreed. Samsung’s customer service is awful. I dealt with them years back for an RMA; don’t remember why. Worst experience ever. They also have no issues with holding your device for weeks at a time, even if it’s your only device.

It’s not just Samsung. Basically everyone has craptacular customer service. CS is like tech: extremely useful towards keeping people around, and the first thing to get gutted by corporate budget.

For anything not Apple, I can’t recommend third-party warranty enough. Shit breaks? Insurer pays up if OEM doesn’t play ball. Not your problem.
Legal hasn't suddenly drastically changed. Customers (the big customers) care about where their data is; which jurisdiction(s) it is stored in or passes through.

Employers also care what laws they have to deal with regarding employment and what they have to do in terms of benefits and stuff. Employees in multiple states is difficult enough, having to deal with employees in several countries is a significant burden that many employers would prefer not to deal with, or can't afford to. That hasn't changed.

Over the years, I've worked with developers from Germany, Denmark, Russia, Canada, India, Brazil, and even that most bizarre of alien cultures, DC-area government contractors. Even if we can all speak the same language (albeit with different accents), different cultures have markedly different assumptions and understandings and ways of communicating and working and different values. That can be quite difficult for management to deal with. That hasn't changed.

When you add up all the language, cultural, legal, timezone, foreign exchange, and other barriers, what really has suddenly changed? Not much. Most companies will still prefer employees that fit in as much as possible and don't cause lots of extra work for the company or cause them to lose sales with potential big customers (because of the cross-jurisdiction legal stuff).
To be fair I also have my doubts about the Finnish statistics. I agree with your first point, much of the dire situation we have now was caused by big pharma companies.
Smart people recognize that money can never be anything but a consensual agreement between humans.

How you symbolize that agreement is actually irrelevant.

There is no limit to the agreements that humans can make so the idea of limiting them by decree is absurd.

The most problematic part is that holding onto money is a onesided arrangement that requires no consent or agreement. You can literally leave the other party hanging.

It is kinda like doing homework in a group and waiting on the results of the second guy so you can work on your part. You will eventually stop waiting and just borrow the homework from another group so you can finally get started with your damn part of the homework.
I won't ever buy Samsung products as well, but not because of their phones. I've had several Samsung TVs, a Samsung Washer / Dryer and a Samsung Fridge Freezer. All of those have had issues and Samsung went to great pains to avoid their responsibilities under NZ law to fix those issues.
They're an innovative company but their customer service sucks and I will never give them another cent.
I've worked for a couple of businesses where bullying, spitefulness and a generally unpleasant atmosphere were the norm and where it was clear from the outset that no one was happy and happiness in others was not to be tolerated.

I would describe myself as 'optimistic' rather than 'happy' but, in both cases, these businesses sucked the life out of me and the happiest days were when I left. Both times to my initial financial detriment.

Neither business is currently operating though, so no loss to me long term.
Twitter lets you see that specific content but nothing else w/o logging in. Still better than full blown paywalls IMO.
That's not the case in British English, where "the third of January" is preferred.
I’m not sure I would agree that this is lying or manipulation in the way that you would normally define those things.

I do think Elon is a bit of a troll, and also that he is prone to saying things that he thinks are probably true without really verifying them fully.

I think that he says things on social media with approximately the same level of internal surety that you might apply to talking to a friend in a casual situation.

You might be quite willing to say to a friend “we are going to finish the X project in 6 months” without really calculating the odds of that actually happening, and without your friend calling you a liar in 6 months when that doesn’t happen.

Now you can argue that he should apply a larger degree of rigor when positing on social media because he is a famous person running a big company, and maybe so.

But he might also argue that why should he be held to a higher standard on Twitter than any random joe posting garbage to thier feed for friends to read?
Not as often as Shift, but yes, I use it for its purpose.
I noticed they put wrist guards in there, better to learn to fall properly. While learning I fell awkwardly once, and maybe the wrist guards I was wearing saved my wrist, but the reinforcing bar inside them cracked a rib instead

There is also the term "arbeitssuchen" (= "looking for work"). It depends a little bit on the way one looks at it.

But being "arbeitslos" ("jobless") is really a stigma in Germany. At least I feel a significant share of people see it that way.
> You're not their customer, you're the product.

What is really annoying though is that you are their customer. It's sort of understandable when Google or Facebook spy on you and monetise your data to profit from the services that they provide you free of monetary charge to you. With Samsung, you've already handed over a few hundred dollars at least for the product. Spying on you as well is like having their customer and eating it.

I've always used Samsung's flagship smartphones, since the Galaxy S4. However, as I've become a more conscious consumer in recent years, I've decided that my next phone won't be a Samsung.
Try (prev-step) in the REPL. Probably I need to add an help with some commands.

PoW makes cryptocurrencies doable (i.e. they somewhat work), but not viable. PoW only simulates the creation of value, it does not create it. Yes, sure, fiat currency has also its value made out of thin air, but that value often corresponds to the strength of country's government, economy or fiscal system. Sure, for instance the Yen may become hyper or underinflated, but as long as Japan is an industrial power it's very likely you want Yens to trade with Japan, to travel there, ... and that the Japanese government will do what it must be done on the international markets to keep the value of its currency stable. This gives "real" fiat currency a link with the real economy.

Can you say the same for cryptocurrency? Where does the value of a cryptocurrency come from? The answer is "from its scarcity", but scarcity itself doesn't make something valuable. What makes Bitcoin valuable is its tradeability with real world currencies, such as the Euro and the Dollar, and the fact that people want to spend them to get Bitcoin. Bitcoin is not a real currency, is just a very complicated bank with extra steps, based on an asset whose value basically depends by the biggest Ponzi scheme ever known to man.
> Sounds like you're working at a more traditional company then:

Yes and I apparently always have, despite working for tech startups in several cases. Never thought that they would be considered "traditional", but they evidently are.

Quite interesting.
> So they simultaneously understand what the machine is doing but don’t know what assembly will be generated? Both can’t be true.

I mean I can understand a reasonable mapping to what the un-optimized assembly would be. Compiler optimization is very complex, and is going to obscure the results in every language.

> If everyone understood what the machine was doing, everyone would be able to look at a snippet and agree - “that’s UB, let’s not do that”. But they can’t agree. Because few people understand what the compiler and the processor will do.

What? I think everyone can agree that UB is much harder to detect in assembly than in higher level languages than assembly, and assembly gives the most clear view of what the machine is doing. It's a very complex topic to create a system which detects and disallows UB automatically in the compiler - this requires a lot more complexity than a simple mapping of high level instructions to machine instructions.

> The “thin layer of assembly” was true for the first generation of C compilers. But it hasn’t been true for a long time. It’s a complete black box now. Anyone who thinks that it’s straightforward isn’t being upfront with themselves.

I don't know, seems pretty straightforward to me: https://godbolt.org

It still proves you’re giving the password right this moment, and that it hasn’t been popped from a DB.

On the other hand it doesn’t prove that someone has stolen your phone/laptop, defeated all of its own security, and then defeated the security of the password manager.

For my personal risk propensity, the former is worth having, the latter is too unlikely to worry about
The point wasn't that it was expensive. The author happily paid the expense. They claim to even be happy to suffer the annoyance of downtime and repair even though they didn't abuse the device. Those are the only 2 things an early adopter is obligated to asorb.

The point was that it was all 4 together of: expensive, immature, unsupported, and not sold as unsupported.

It was sold with a standard warranty like any product, yet in reality they just deny the claim no matter how valid.

The expense only means that's why you care, that they take your money which did not break on them a few weeks later, and don't honor their promises.
I disagree. There is a reason why studies aren't available yet and why they
always contain long term data which isn't available yet.

I am vaccinated but can acknowledge that being careful is probably prudent and a decision everyone has to make for themselves what they regard as a higher threat.

The information control around the topic will hopefully lead to people looking very closely at the studies yet to be released.
A lot of the difference is in things like keystone jacks and patch panels, as this is where far end crosstalk is most likely.
It’ll still be a worse computer in every way but it will have modularity.

You can't engineer happiness, but there are things that can be done to support and foster happiness.

Some very important key factors to happiness that can be provided in a job environment are:
.) self-determination \
.) a feeling of mastery/competency (or growth towards it) \
.) independence \
.) being treated fairly and equally

Managers expecting their workers to be happy and show (fake) happiness, actually goes against several of those points.

Older studies show, that small, mostly self-sufficient, self-organized teams with little managerial interference are both the happiest and most productive.
You should blame the hardware abstraction brought by the operating system layers.

I think it is pretty clear that we aren't complete tabulas rasas either. The exact "nature vs. nurture" split isn't known, but it very certainly isn't 0:100.

But the field of software talent is pretty wide. Someone can have a knack for identifying the core of the issue fast (intuition), someone can come up with unorthodox solutions (creativity), someone may be able to see possible security implications sooner than others, yet another is fast learner in general but not very creative etc. These may not be the same people.
happiness is all about having good relationships in your life. that will give confidence, meaning and the ability to cope with difficulties. Happiness is not a journey inward.
Dead Lenovo are very easy to fix, weirdly. I've had to fix both of mine. Imagine air quotes. You have to pull the battery cable and push the power button.

That's it.
What many outsiders don't know is that those protections you talk about don't apply much to your average Berlin startup where expats come exiting to kick back and relax and get shocked when they get ground up to a pulp in overtime.
Sadly, I think the benefits of SSDs are about to be overwhelmed at least for gaming. Some 'direct storage' APIs are about to hit the market, which will inevitably make SATA SSDs (which were plenty fast enough, thank you) into the new spinning HDDs in terms of subjective performance.
>There is a process called evolution going on. It's gradual and at some point there was a first bird which had the right gene combination for us to call it a chicken.

Yes, but those initially positing the ancient chicken/egg paradox haven't discovered the theory of evolution yet, and for those later that still use it, the boundaries (when it "had the right gene combination for us to call it a chicken") are fuzzy. Those are the things the paradox aimed/aims to showcase.
I had a Samsung oven that self-destructed beyond repair on the first attempt of the pyrolytic cleaning program, less than a year after purchase. I know multiple people that got less than year of service from their other sort of Samsung appliances. So yes, it does apply.
I'd recommend JZ1000 or JZ2000.

I agree that we should regulate these services for the externalities they cause (high activity in residential areas, accidents, etc.). But to put an arbitrary cap on what you can advertise just sounds really stupid.
kotlin has kotlin multiplatform. A project to run non-ui components on both platforms. It's been there for a few years, apple hasn't even started.
Of course you choose whether to be happy. In fact, it is the ONLY thing you have control over. But it's the key to everything.

It's the one choice you have to make in every living moment. Keep making this right choice, and life is a song. Choose to look the wrong way and life becomes hard work.

There is nothing more to it. This is all anyone ever needs to know about life.
iPad Pro M1 11 (small one). Even the smaller one sometimes feels too big for a book, but otherwise it’s excellent. Plus Siri can read books for you with the quality much better than some narrated audiobooks!

The problem with iPad are the push notifications and other Internet-related distractions, so better put it into the airline mode when reading.

When it comes to work, you obviously cannot engineer happiness, but there are a number of things you can look for in an employer. If you know where to look, there are absolutely companies out there that place an emphasis on employee empathy, flexibility, kindness, etc.

I would know because I work at one such place. The thing that a lot of people are not willing to accept however is that you generally have to give up other things. I work at a nonprofit. We start at 17 days PTO and after year one you bump to 25 days. You are strongly encouraged to take it. We're given nearly $5k per year, essentially no strings attached, to be used as we see fit for continuing education efforts. Everyone is extremely kind, empathetic, and flexible. You are strongly discouraged from ever working more than 37.5 hours in a week. It's as close to heaven in an employer as I've ever found by a mile.

Of course, because it's a nonprofit, I need to take a discount on pay, to the tune of somewhere around 20% below market in the region. Is it worth my happiness though? Completely. I have no regrets and continue to work here despite interest from places willing to pay me that extra 20% and more.

I see a lot of devs getting hung up on getting "what they're worth," as if they're selling a hunk of meat to the highest bidder. If that's how you treat yourself, that's how you'll be treated in return. After about a decade of professional work, I prefer to see myself as being entered into a mutually beneficial relationship where salary is merely one piece of the picture. I've long since realized that my expenses rise/shrink to meet my salary, mostly without me noticing any actual change in quality of life, so just maximizing that number feels pointless.

This is all not to say that I don't have ambition. My ambitions are just more multifaceted than "make XXXXXXXX/yr." Feeling fulfilled by the work -- that's an ambition. Having work that energizes me rather than drains me -- that's also an ambition. And I really do mean that, you have to strive for such things. They're not going to fall into your lap. It also requires you personally to understand what happiness means (contentment and inner peace rather than chemical euphoria) and pursue that instead of alternatives.

Personally I really don't see the point in living a life of toiling away at shit work just to make an extra 20%.

Oh, and by the way, we are no slouches. We create extremely high quality products at a fast tempo - because we all love what we're doing and are invested into the mission. We work for 7.5 hours and then we turn off and enjoy life, and come back rested and refreshed the next morning.
Stereotypical American comment haha, bigger is better. NL really isn't a small player in the EU nor in the global market.
I’m on an iPhone 8 here, works just as well as when it was new ~4.5 years ago. Battery may be at around 80% capacity (as experienced by me), received an iOS update a couple of days ago.

Edit to add: replaced a slim silicone cover once or twice, hardened glass screen protector 3 or 4 times.
Lenovo delivered a replacement charger for my entry-level ThinkPad really fast (it was the next day I believe). And for free, after a couple of questions on the phone.
If you’re talking about an LCD Panasonic, I can’t say anything about them other then they’re a completely different series than the OLED. Almost like a separate brand.

My OLED has Netflix etc. I used the built in Netflix a few times but don’t anymore since because I don’t use Netflix altogether and not subscribed to them. I put it on a special VLAN that has no internet access but can still send and receive traffic to my home assistant instance so as far as the tv is concerned, it’s offline. But it’s never nagged me about it. And when it was fully online (when using the Netflix app), I never received any ad anywhere.
Yep. I have a smart tv. (What other kind exists today?). The remote has a netflix button - which is super useful. But according to my router, the TV sends a trickle of data over WIFI constantly. Even when its "off".

So I've banned the TV from my WIFI network, and I just have a PC plugged into it. 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.

In some ways I think I win on all counts like this. Modern smart tvs are subsidized by creepy advertising. This way I get a cheap TV, and I don't give up any privacy in doing so.

But I worry about a time when TVs ship with cheap 4G modems, and start doing telemetry that way. It might just be a matter of time. I can't be the only one who doesn't connect my tv to wifi; and I bet samsung has run the numbers.
Pretty interesting use of ML, and one that's becoming more and more useful. Is there some live use of it that we can check?

>Your parent just explained, that there have been animals hatching from eggs before there were chicken

And I just explained that that alone is neither here, nor there, as the paradox is about the chicken egg, specifically, not whether eggs existed in general.

>At some point some of those egg-hatching animals had mutated enough to be now called the first chicken

Yes, but that's a different answer, which wasn't available when the chicken/egg question was posited - and it still points to a random (evolutionary) and fuzzy (when? how?) process.
